The Beijing Winter Olympics are in full swing, and the Chinese legion has won 5 gold medals, drawing the best result in history. According to the CBA official announcement, the third stage will be carried out in a double divisional format, which is the Shenyang Division and the Shunde Division, and the competition time is from March 1 to March 22, from round 29 to round 38, a total of 10 rounds of regular season.
The teams participating in the Shenyang Division are: Liaoning Bengang, Zhejiang Chouzhou, Zhejiang Guangsha, Shanghai, Qingdao, Jilin, Sichuan, Shanxi, Nanjing Tongxi and Jiangsu Kendia, while the teams in Shunde include: Guangdong Hongyuan, Shandong, Xinjiang, Beijing Shougang, Shenzhen, Guangzhou Longshi, Beijing Holdings, Fujian, Tianjin and Ningbo Fubang.
Among them, Liaoning Bengang will open 10 rounds of home matches in Shenyang, while Guangdong Hongyuan, Shenzhen and Guangzhou will also open 10 rounds of quasi-home matches in Shunde, which is very friendly to the four teams, whether it is climate, diet or fans, etc., there are great bonuses.
The third stage is very important for every team. For the top four teams, they need to consolidate their position in the top four, after all, they can avoid a game of victory and defeat in the first round of the playoffs; for the teams in the 5th to 9th places, they need to rise steadily and impact the top four; for the teams in the 10th to 15th places, they have to compete for playoff spots; for the teams after the 16th place, perhaps training new people is more important.
The schedule of the third stage has been determined, of which the opening games are Shanxi vs Zhejiang, Liaoning vs Qingdao, Xinjiang VS Shougang and Guangdong vs Shandong, all four of which are quite interesting.
Guangdong ushered in a sweet schedule and hit the final four
In fact, we can know a little bit from the participating teams in Shenyang Division, and the current top four teams and powerhouse Shanxi are all in Shenyang Division, which is full of competitiveness. In the Shunde division where Guangdong Hongyuan is located, in addition to Hongyuan, Shenzhen and Shougang, the competitiveness of other teams is not particularly sufficient; this means that Guangdong Hongyuan will usher in a sweet schedule in the third stage, and the opponents of Hongyuan in the third stage are two games in Shandong, two games in Guangzhou, two games in Xinjiang, two games in Beijing and two games in Ningbo.
This is good news for Hongyuan, the overall strength of these 5 opponents has a certain gap compared with Hongyuan; coupled with the return of individual players in the third stage of the team, they are likely to end with a wave of ten wins. In the third stage, Hongyuan no longer has to worry about the lack of rotation, they have a more excellent Run-in Ledo, there is a more excellent state of Weems, Zhao Rui, Zhang Hao will also return, Zhou Peng, Ren Junfei, Xu Jie, Ren Junfei and other injuries have gradually recovered, Tang Jie officially joined.
Such a lineup will help Hongyuan reach the final four, they are currently only two wins away from the fourth Zhejiang Chouzhou and the third Guangsha, if they can get 10 consecutive wins, then they will be expected to squeeze into the final four before the playoffs, avoiding a one-time match in the first round of the playoffs and making sufficient preparations for the playoffs.
