On January 3, Beijing time, most of the games in the 17th round of the 2021-22 CBA League regular season have ended, and the first week of the second phase has ended. Based on the team's record ranking and on-field performance, here is the sixth edition of the season's strength list for you -
1. Liaoning (rank unchanged)
Liaoning won a battle between Liaoning and Guangdong, and Liaoning defeated its rival Guangdong 115-95, showing the strong strength of the champion alliance. Liaoning's strongest point at present is that the thickness of the lineup makes all competitors envious, two functional foreign aides Fergus and Morland join the team, Liu Zhixuan and Wu Changze two major rotations returned from injury, and Liaoning registered 12 people to compete well. If the strategy and tactics are appropriate and the on-the-spot play is normal, it is difficult for a team to take down Liaoning at this stage.
2. Shanxi (up 7 places)
Since the start of the second stage of Shanxi, they have shown the true color of the strongest dark horses, they have won all 4 battles and won 6 consecutive victories overall. The victories in the past 4 games are full of gold, Shanxi has cut down Guangdong, Shenzhen and Beijing, and judging by their performance at this stage, they already have the ability to compete with any strong team. Yang Xuezeng successfully transformed the team, the running bomb team has the blessing of two major foreign aides Feld and Simmons, and Shanxi's this season is indeed worthy of attention.
3. Shanghai (same rank)
In the second stage of Shanghai, a total of 3 games were played, and the record of total victory was achieved, and the new local tycoons came to a new height. Ace interior line Wang Zhelin maintains a stable internal line dominance, and the two major fronts, Koran Baike and Liu Zheng, are all extremely positive signals for Shanghai. New foreign aid Feng Lai has shown great strength when he first arrived, and Shanghai, which is strong and strong, has already shown its ambition.
4. Zhejiang (rank unchanged)
Zhejiang maintained the level of a strong team, winning all 4 games in the second stage, facing the strong challenges of Xinjiang and Guangzhou, they all laughed to the end. Rakosevic, who has returned to the team, has improved significantly, providing an efficient performance in key games. St. HSMP Wu Qian is in good shape, averaging 17 points per game in the second stage, ensuring Zhejiang's outside output.
5. Guangsha (up 1 place)
Although Guangsha's performance is not stable enough, the defeat of the two top players in Beijing and Guangdong in the past week has been enough to show its strong strength. The "three youngsters" Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Yanhao are still the core competitiveness of Guangsha, and the games they play normally are not easy for Guangsha to mess with. The foreign aid Jones who completed the registration in the second stage is more functional, has a first-hand outside line projection ability, and also makes up for the lack of guangsha's internal line strength.
6. Guangdong (down 4 places)
Since the start of the second phase of the regular season, defending champion Guangdong has been one of the most frustrated teams. Guangdong, which lacked major generals, lost to Guangsha, Shanxi and Liaoning, and the last two games lost more than 20 points, and morale was greatly frustrated. Zhao Rui, the core of the backcourt, could not play, which had a lot of impact on Guangdong. Yi Jianlian's physical condition has not yet recovered to its best, and it is difficult to support itself on the inner line. If Guangdong wants to regain the level of a super team, it also needs to make a fuss about external citations.
7. Shenzhen (down 2 places)
The second stage began, the Shenzhen schedule gradually became difficult, although it defeated Guangsha with a reversal, but the consecutive losses to Shanxi and Jilin also made the team's strength questionable. The accidental injury of Shen Zijie, the core of the inner line, brought a huge blow to Shenzhen. Under the pressure, the former interior giant Salinger ushered in an outbreak, and in the last round he got a super stat of 26 points and 20 rebounds, and Shenzhen needed him to remain efficient.
8. Beijing (down 1 place)
Although Beijing defeated the powerful Liaoning in the first match of the rematch, this was not a joy, after all, the opponent hid four main players. Instead, in the past two rounds, Beijing has lost consecutively to Guangsha and Shanxi. Jeremy Lin, who returned to the CBA, was once again questioned, facing Guangsha he only scored 2 points in the whole game, and he was pressed off the court in the decisive moment of two consecutive games. It seems that Beijing still has some way to go if it wants to return to the championship lineup.
9. Xinjiang (up 4 places)
Although it was only an adjustment to introduce internal and external aid, it was enough to make the former giants Xinjiang recover, and in the second stage, Xinjiang ushered in a record of 2 wins and 2 recoveries. Mortrey scored 28.3 points, 16 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 3.8 steals and 2.5 blocks, seamlessly playing the role of Xinjiang's inner core. The local core Of abdul Salam has ushered in a comeback, which is extremely positive news for Xinjiang.
10. Shandong (up 2 places)
Ding Yanyuhang and Gao Shiyan, two major local main forces, were absent due to injury, and Shandong's strength suffered a lot of blows, and the only praiseworthy thing since the beginning of the second stage was the defeat of the same provincial rival Qingdao. Former MVP winner Hudson, who returned to Shandong, scored 41 and 38 points in a row. However, if Shandong wants to regain its strong strength last season, it also needs local players to make more contributions.
11. Qingdao (up 3 places)
Qingdao's strength in bringing back double foreign aid has been significantly improved, and in the past week, in addition to losing to shandong opponents in the same province, the other three games have been a big win. Wells has long adapted to the CBA rhythm and immediately became the core of Qingdao's offense, averaging 26.3 points per game. Interior outside dacare Johnson did not fare as expected and he needs time to find form.
12. Guangzhou (down 4 places)
Guangzhou suffered a decline in strength in the second stage, as the saying goes, "sailing against the current, not advancing or retreating", other teams in the window period strengthened their strength by introducing foreign aid, Guangzhou did not move, and the single foreign aid lineup was slightly weak when dealing with strong opponents. In addition, Guangzhou put too much energy and physical energy on the defensive end, resulting in their attack not playing smoothly, which is the main reason for their poor record last week.
13. Beijing Enterprises (down 3 places)
14. Sichuan (up 1 place)
15. Jilin (down 4 places)
16. Tianjin (same rank)
17. Fujian (up 1 place)
18. Ningbo (up 1 place)
19. Jiangsu (down 2 places)
20. Tongxi (rank unchanged)
