The second stage of the CBA league is nearing the end, and the Liaoning men's basketball team is still thriving, leading the league standings. It can be said that in the case of the sluggish state of the Guangdong men's basketball team this season, the status of the leader of the Liaoning Basketball League has been difficult to shake.
However, after achieving a wave of 10 consecutive wins in the second stage of the league, the Liaoning team unexpectedly overturned the ship and lost to the weak Xinjiang men's basketball team. The absence of main center Han Dejun, as well as the team's consecutive league games, has entered a period of fatigue are the two main reasons for Liao's loss.
Despite this, Liaoning Basket has locked up the CBA top spot in the second stage of the league after defeating the North Control team. In the next 2 rounds of the league, their opponents, Ningbo and Tongxi, are too weak to have the opportunity to win like Xinjiang.
Therefore, in the final battle of the second stage of the league, coach Yang Ming is likely to give young players more playing time and win some rare respite for several main players such as Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei.
From the current situation, Liaoning Basketball is likely to enter the next off-season with a league record of 25 wins and 3 losses. During this time, several of the main players of the Liaoning Basketball can treat their old injuries and be fully prepared for the third stage of the league.
After all, the next league will be more difficult to play, and the teams that rush to the championship and impact the playoffs will do their best, and the degree of hardship can be imagined.
For the current Liaoning basketball team, in addition to helping several local players recover their health and condition, it is also a very important task to introduce the third foreign aid as soon as possible.
This season, the performances of Fergus and Morland are very weak, and both of them are not very good in the team's attack, which directly increases the pressure on the local players in liaoning basketball.
Therefore, finding a third foreign aid with outstanding offensive ability as soon as possible can not only alleviate the pressure on several main players in Liaoning Basket, but also play a very critical role in their championship victory this season. Because the Guangdong team, which is in a very sluggish state in the second stage of the league, has begun to chase points with all its might.
After the new signing Ledo officially joined the team, Guangdong team also ushered in two consecutive wins. In the second CBA league game for Guangdong, Ledo's performance was not as strong as the previous round, but he still got a quasi-3-double of 19+12+9.
Although Ledo's strength is still a certain gap with Weems and Ma Shang, his characteristics are very suitable for Guangdong's tactical system. His joining is undoubtedly a "shot in the arm" for the difficult Guangdong team, and in the last 2 rounds of the league, the Guangdong team will open the point-chasing mode.
At present, Guangdong, who ranks 5th in the league, has only one win difference with Zhejiang, and if they can win 2 more matches, they are very likely to surpass Zhejiang and even hope to catch up with Shanghai, who ranks second.
In the next third stage of the league, Guangdong will welcome back Zhao Rui, who has been absent for a long time due to injury, and Weems can also return from the ban.
In addition, if all goes well, super foreign player Ma Shang may also return to Guangdong in the third stage of the league.
The return of a number of generals has greatly improved the strength of the Guangdong team with a neat lineup. In the third stage of the league, the CBA's league overlord will once again show their strongest strength. At that time, the Guangdong team will surpass Zhejiang, Guangsha and Shanghai, and hit the top 2 positions of the league, which will become a high probability event.
Because the current hard battle of the Guangdong team has basically been fought, the two competitions with Liaoning, Guangsha, Shenzhen and Shougang have ended. The showdown with Shanghai will become a key battle to determine the final ranking of the two teams this season.
Although Shanghai currently ranks second in the league, their position is not too solid. In the following league, they will play against Liaoning and Guangsha teams four times, and it will be difficult for Shanghai to achieve all four victories. Once they suffer consecutive defeats, their second place in the league will be replaced by the team behind them.
This season, relying on heavy funds to attract Shanghai team to rise strongly, the performance of 2 foreign assistants Franklin and Vonle has brought a lot of help to the team. But in recent league rounds, their performance has been somewhat unsatisfactory. Franklin, in particular, has been in a very sluggish state lately.
Therefore, the performance of Fredette, the super foreign player who returned to the team in the third stage of the league, will largely determine the league trend of Shanghai team. If Li Chunjiang can use Fredette well, then Shanghai team is very likely to keep their second place in the league, otherwise their league ranking is likely to fall to fourth or even fifth.
From the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that if CBA teams want to achieve good results, they must also see whether the foreign aid selected is the right team and whether they can play their true strength. In this regard, the Guangdong men's basketball team has always done a good job, and the operation of Liaoning Basket for several consecutive seasons has become the biggest obstacle for the team to fail to win the championship.
