The 21-22 CBA season has been playing for three months, and as the second phase is nearing the end, the league has officially entered a period of fierce competition, and in the next time, teams are bound to do their best to get better rankings.
On the Guangdong side, although they have always stressed that the team's goal is only the playoffs, but now that the bayonet is red, they are also starting to get nervous, and the introduction of Ledo can highlight their sense of urgency, after all, they are only fifth in the league, and if they want to achieve four consecutive championships, they must get the top three before the playoffs arrive! Why? Let's analyze it.
In fact, why the Guangdong team has been emphasizing that the team's goal is only the playoffs this season, the clear-eyed people can see at a glance that this is just a way for them to alleviate psychological pressure! In psychology, when a person's condition is worse, the more they will take a lower goal to comfort themselves to reduce their worries about the future, the previous Guangdong team is obviously in this state, clearly saying that the goal is only the playoffs, but secretly they have always wanted to strengthen, so their goal is definitely not only the playoffs.
Good! Back to the main topic, why do you say that the Guangdong team must compete for the top three? The top four do not have to play the first round of the playoffs, which I believe everyone knows, so why not the fourth, but the top three? That's where we're going to explore! First of all, the fourth place and the first place in the semi-finals are very likely to be opponents, Liaoning team to win the regular season championship is a high probability event, if the Guangdong team only gets the fourth result, then they are likely to meet Liaoning in the semifinals, which is not an ordinary opponent.
Say two hypotheses, if Guangdong and Liaoning really meet in the semi-finals, assuming that Guangdong loses, then they are stopping in the semi-finals, such results are believed to be difficult to satisfy! Assuming that the Guangdong team wins, then after a tit-for-tat confrontation with the Liaoning team, they must be extremely tired when they enter the finals, and such a state is likely to affect their performance in the finals. So, no matter what, the Guangdong team tries to avoid the fourth ranking, and the best choice is second or third, which is why they should compete for the top three.
Fortunately, after the hardships of the first and second stages, the prospects of the Guangdong team in the third stage can be described as suddenly bright, first of all, in terms of personnel structure, the third stage they are likely to usher in a huge upgrade of the lineup, followed by mentality, after experiencing the difficulties of the previous period, they are now a lot more flat, such a state, will also be beneficial to their next schedule. So what do you think, what kind of record will Guangdong team enter the playoffs at the end of the regular season? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section!
