On April 28, a decisive CBA playoff game will take place as Liaoning Flying Leopards face Shandong Heroes on the road. For Liaoning, it’s a win-or-go-home situation.

Liaoning enter the game with several positives. Historically, they have dominated this matchup, winning four of their last five meetings against Shandong. Although the teams split their regular-season games, Liaoning hold a psychological edge.

Key guard Zhao Jiwei is also regaining form, delivering an efficient performance in the final regular-season game. His playmaking and scoring will be crucial.

Import player Ladi has also found rhythm, contributing consistently on both ends of the court.

However, Shandong remain a strong opponent. They boast a 16–5 home record and rely on players like Gao Shiyan for backcourt strength.

Ultimately, Liaoning’s chances hinge on maintaining defensive intensity and executing under pressure, while Shandong will look to capitalize on home advantage. The outcome will depend on which team performs better in this high-stakes environment.
