The two teams, Shandong and Beijing, have been battling it out for the championship in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) this season. With their strong defense and advanced offense, Shandong has dominated the competition so far.

One of the key aspects of Shandong's success is their strong defense. They have a team full of experienced players who know how to defend effectively. Their defense is not just about stopping their opponents from scoring, but also preventing them from getting easy baskets. This has helped Shandong limit their opponents' shooting percentage and create turnovers, which they can then capitalize on with their fast-paced offense.

On the other hand, Beijing has struggled defensively this season. Despite having some talented players, their defense has let them down. As a result, they have had trouble keeping up with Shandong's pace and creating offensive opportunities.

However, despite their defensive struggles, Beijing has shown that they still have the talent to compete with Shandong. They have a deep bench and several players who can step up when needed. In addition, their offense has been solid, especially with their star player, C.J. Watson, leading the way.

Overall, Shandong has been the clear favorite in this series so far. However, Beijing has shown that they are not without hope. As the series progresses, we will see if they can overcome their defensive weaknesses and make a run at the championship. Either way, one thing is certain - this series has been exciting and has provided plenty of drama for basketball fans across China.
