On January 17, Beijing time, the 23rd round of the 2021-22 CBA League regular season was completed. According to the ranking of each team's record and on-field performance, here is the eighth edition of the season's strength list for you -
1. Liaoning (rank unchanged)
For the time being, no team can shake liaoning's hegemony. Last week they went on to win the full winning streak, extending their winning streak to nine. Although beating Shenzhen by just two points, Liaoning won the game in a conversation with old rival Guangdong, completing a season double-header against the defending champions. In addition to the stability of several main players, Liaoning also received a windfall last week, with interior star Fu Hao scoring 38 points in the match against Guangdong, which is expected to become a new stable scoring point for Liaoning.
2. Guangsha (rank unchanged)
Guangsha also achieved a total victory last week, with a wave of 8 consecutive wins to closely follow the table leader Liaoning. Achieving the same feat as Liaoning, Guangsha beat Guangdong by 20 points last week to complete a season double against the defending champions. Not only did Guangsha maintain an eight-game winning streak, they averaged 21.7 points per game last week, and no team except Liaoning seems to be able to stop them from moving forward.
3. Zhejiang (up 1 place)
Zhejiang has played 3 tough battles in the past week, but they have always maintained a strong team posture and held the top four positions in the table with a single-week total victory record. The star Wu Qian continued to play well, averaging 23 points and 7.7 assists per game in a single week. The new star cheng Shuai Peng in the backcourt is even more in full shape, cutting 20+ in 3 consecutive games, and his defender line with Wu Qian has become the guarantee for Zhejiang to win.
4. Shanghai (up 3 places)
Shanghai is back in the top four of the power list, and in the past week, facing three competitive teams Shandong, Beikong and Guangzhou, Shanghai has won without bloodshed, winning a wave of 5 consecutive wins. Shanghai not only won a single week, but also won an average of 20.3 points per game, and scored in double figures for 6 people in two consecutive games, Li Chunjiang has transformed this team into a luxury warship with multiple blossoms and fierce attacks.
5. Guangdong (down 2 places)
Defending champion Guangdong had a week of frustration. Facing the top two teams in the table, Liaoning and Guangsha, Guangdong have lost games by a big margin, and they have lost as many as 7 games in the regular season this season. Zhao Rui was absent due to injury, and the strength of the Guangdong defender line declined. Although the ace Yi Jianlian is in a state of recovery, he is difficult to support on the inside line. To make matters worse, foreign aid Weems has been suspended for 5 games, which will undoubtedly make Guangdong's next journey more difficult.
6. Beijing (up 3 places)
Beijing's performance has been relatively stable over the past week amid a number of midstream teams experiencing ups and downs in form. Not only did they win all-week, they averaged 31 points per game, making them the craziest team of the week. Especially in the face of Shanxi, which had just defeated itself not long ago, Beijing completed its revenge with a 25-point victory. The much-watched foreign aid Jeremy Lin recovered, and he played 21 minutes against Shanxi to score 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, which is undoubtedly good news for Beijing.
7. Shenzhen (down 2 places)
Shenzhen had another ups and downs last week. They first created a big enough threat to the table leader Liaoning to almost kill their opponents. After that, facing Jilin whose strength and record were not as good as his own, he was killed by his opponents. Shenzhen only achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses last week, and inevitably suffered a decline in the strength list. Compared with the previous games, the two major foreign aid Salinger and Booker were not strong enough, which is the main reason for the decline in Shenzhen's combat strength.
8. Shandong (down 2 places)
Shandong's past week's schedule has been more difficult, and they have not been able to create miracles, facing Shanghai and Zhejiang at the top of the standings, Shandong has swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat, but beating Qingdao in the Qilu derby still allows them to stabilize the situation. Tao Hanlin, the core of the inner line, has regained his form, but he is in a dud in the battle against the strong enemy Shanghai. Veteran Hudson is still the key to Shandong's victory, but his physical condition also determines whether he can play his full strength.
9. Guangzhou (up 2 places)
Guangzhou achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss last week, and the current record of the teams in the middle of the standings is tight, and Guangzhou can rank 6th, which is enough to show that their combat strength has improved. The backcourt "Tuyang Double Gun" Mason and Chen Yingjun are the core competitiveness of Guangzhou. Although the new foreign aid Lif has not yet resumed his competitive state, it can be seen that he has a certain strength and will bring more help to Guangzhou in the near future.
10. Beijing Holdings (up 1 place)
North Controls have struggled with the chaotic battles of the midstream teams, which last week only achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses. New foreign player Todorovic is worthy of the CBA "old face", after a game of adjustment, he handed over 22 minutes, 22 points and 13 rebounds in the last round of eye-catching data. After 2001, the new star Liao Sanning has scored in double figures in six consecutive games, and the past week has a data performance of 19.3 points and 6.7 assists, and Beijing Control needs him to stay hot.
11. Tianjin (up 6 places)
Tianjin is arguably the most surprising team in the past week, originally ranked downstream of the standings, they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in a single week, facing two competitive teams in Shanxi and Jilin, Tianjin has won the game. Defender Lin Tingqian from Chinese Taipei performed eye-catchingly, averaging 22 points per game in a single week. Kenny Burton scored 44 points against The Shanxi, recreating his super scorer character.
12. Shanxi (down 4 places)
Dark Horse Shanxi is experiencing a low point, and they have only won 1 victory in the past week, and their combat strength continues to decline. In the two losses with Tianjin and Beijing, the local top star Yuan Shuai shot 2 of 8 three-pointers, shooting less than 30% of the time, averaging only 5 points per game. Core foreign aid Felder status also appeared to go. The most fatal thing is that Shanxi, as a team that relies on offense, is too relaxed on the defensive end, so that it is difficult for them to maintain the momentum of victory.
13. Jilin (up 2 places)
14. Sichuan (rank unchanged)
15. Xinjiang (down 5 places)
16. Qingdao (down 3 places)
17. Fujian (up 1 place)
18. Jiangsu (up 1 place)
19. Ningbo (down 1 place)
20. Tongxi (rank unchanged)
