With the end of Guangsha's victory over Beijing In the 28th round of the regular season, the second phase of the CBA game officially came to an end. After the first two stages of the battle, the ranking dust has settled, and there are many points to watch, which can be described as a few joys and some sorrows.
Liaoning is firmly at the top of the list, and Han Dejun is the X factor
Liaoning are currently at the top of the league with a record of 25 wins and 3 losses, which reflects the strength of their team. It is undeniable that the strength of liaoning's all-China class is worthy of being the first in the league, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, Han Dejun, Fu Hao, which pull out are all domestic top level players in various positions. Although the foreign aid Fogg and Morland are average in strength, it is good that they do not pull too much crotch.
As Yang Ming said in an interview, Liaoning has shown all the bottom cards, which is their strength, and it is indeed the strongest in China at this stage. But Han Dejun's unexpected injury still cast a shadow on the team, especially in the playoffs, I don't know if Han can return in time. It is reported that Han Dejun has a fractured nasal bone and his eyesight has also been affected. If it can't play in the playoffs, Liaoning's internal strength will be greatly reduced.
The First Group was fiercely competitive and the defending champions were squeezed out of the top four
This season is somewhat of a group of heroes chasing the deer, followed by Liaoning is Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangsha three teams, Shanghai achieved 23 wins and 5 losses, Zhejiang and Guangsha are 22 wins and 6 losses, the difference between wins and losses is very small. These three teams are also a gathering of domestic celebrities, especially in Shanghai, after Li Chunjiang took office this season, he recruited Wang Zhelin, Liu Zheng and other players, and the strength increased greatly. Zhejiang and Guangsha are also veteran powerhouses, and the first two stages of this season are in hot shape.
The defending champion Guangdong team lost several times in the second stage, was squeezed out of the top four, and ranked fifth with a record of 20 wins and 8 losses. At this stage, they lost almost all of their battles against potential championship-winning rivals, losing against Liaoning, Guangsha and Shanghai, and almost all of them were spent.
This season, Ma Shang is not there, Weems' state has declined, Zhao Rui has been absent for a long time, the UAE League has returned to state, many players in the team have been injured, cold, etc., multiple unfavorable factors have been encountered by Du Feng and Guangdong team, obviously they have not solved well, at least in the face of strong teams are in a significant disadvantage.
The Xinjiang team is desperately struggling to step into the playoffs
In addition to the upstream teams, the competition for playoff tickets is also extremely fierce. Currently in 8-12 places are Beijing, Shanxi, Shandong, Beikong and Jilin respectively, and the biggest win difference between several teams is 3 games. Beijing won 17 and lost 11, while Jilin lost 14 wins and 14 losses. In 13th place is the Xinjiang team, their record is 12 wins and 16 losses, the win difference with Jilin team is 2 games, and the third stage still has the hope of impacting the playoffs.
Xinjiang played more difficult at the beginning of this season, after Zhou Qi left the team lost a lot, can only rely on Other domestic players such as Abu Du and Qi Lin to pick up the beam, fortunately, their second stage record is OK, won a few games, and still retains the hope of competing for the playoffs.
After the end of this stage of the game, the first four teams Liaoning, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Guangsha also officially locked in the playoffs, while Guangdong was one step behind, and could only continue to work hard in the third stage to strive for a relatively good position. The third stage of the competition will also be held in the next year, so let's wait and see.
