On February 17, the CBA League officially announced the results of the first week of the All-Star first quarter selection, and in the end, all the starters in the north and south districts were from Guangdong and Liaoning, the southern district was Guangdong's Yi Jianlian, Zhao Rui, Zhou Peng, Hu Mingxuan and Ren Junfei, and the northern district was Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin and Han Dejun and Fu Hao. Among them, Yi Jianlian was the king of the southern district and the king of the total vote in the first week, with 390259 votes, and the king of the northern district was Zhang Zhenlin, who got 338819 votes.
It can be seen that Guangdong and Liaoning are still the two teams with the highest popularity and the largest fan base in the CBA arena. Last season's CBA All-Star final start, a total of 8 players from Guangdong and Liaoning, the other two were Zhou Qi, who played in Xinjiang at the time, and Shen Zijie in Shenzhen, when Yi Jianlian was in a state of recuperation and could not play, so he did not participate in the selection, and this season Zhou Qi left the CBA League to play in the Australian League, for which Zhou Qi's position was replaced by Fu Hao.
In fact, Guangdong and Liaoning two teams, in addition to the popularity of their own teams, the core players of these two teams are strong, but also the key reason why they can occupy multiple CBA All-Star starters, the 10 players who started in the first week of the shortlist, all have the strength of the First Team of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, the most inexperienced Fu Hao also participated in the Training Camp of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, and the remaining 9 are the national players of the Eight Classics. Players with strong personal strength and popularity will inevitably win the All-Star starting seat.
Guangdong Liaoning occupies half of the CBA league, which is not friendly to the development of the entire CBA league, other CBA clubs and excellent players, lack more performance opportunities, such as Shenzhen Shen Zijie, Guangsha Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao, Zhejiang team Wu Qian, Shanghai Sharks Wang Zhelin, Xinjiang Abudu, Qi Lin, Guangzhou Chen Yingjun, Jilin Jiang Yuxing, the above excellent players should get more attention.
It is worth noting that among the players who were selected as CBA All-Stars last season, two players are currently leaving the CBA field, namely Zhou Qi and Liu Chuanxing, who have chosen to play in the Australian League hand in hand, improve themselves, and have played a good performance, Zhou Qi joined australia's Phoenix team, immediately is the core, Liu Chuanxing is from the bench step by step, gradually becoming the main rotation. This means that players who can enter the CBA All-Star Game have the strength to base themselves on the Australian Professional League, in the future, I hope that many CBA All-Stars can invest in the Australian League to play, can do self-improvement, compared with the CBA League, the overall strength of the Australian League is stronger, with a number of players with NBA strength, the confrontation is more intense, which is conducive to the progress of players. The development of Chinese basketball can not only look at the CBA league, but also look out!
