The third phase of the CBA's regular season will begin on March 1, and the playoffs will begin in early April, and it is unclear whether home-and-away systems will be restored. According to Song Xiang, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, once the playoffs cannot resume the home-and-away system, it is likely that the game will be held in Macao, after all, Macao has successfully hosted the 2021 National Three-man Basketball Super League.
Affected by the epidemic, the CBA in recent seasons has been held under the condition of strict epidemic prevention, and has always adopted the game system model. The CBA has always been extremely strict in epidemic prevention, and it was once China's first large-scale sports event to restart, which naturally attracted the attention of the outside world.
This season's CBA continues to adopt the conference system model, and the third phase will follow this model and will be held in Shenyang and Foshan. As for the playoffs that began in early April, it is still unknown whether the home-and-away system can be restored, and the CBA League company has discussed the possibility of implementing various plans, and once it is impossible to restore home and away, it will continue to adopt the game system model.
Previously, it was said that if home and away could not be resumed, the playoffs would be held in Nanchang, Jiangxi, but the latest news now is that the league company is discussing the feasibility of hosting a playoff in Macau.
This year's playoff format has changed, no longer a seriously shrunken version of the past two seasons, in the 12-in-8 stage will adopt a three-game two-win system, while the 8-in-4 stage will adopt a five-game-three-win system, and the semi-finals and finals are all seven-to-four win systems.
The current epidemic situation in Macau is stable, and the local government is very welcome to hold the CBA playoffs in the past, especially the successful hosting of the National Three-Man Basketball Super League in 2021. Of course, the plan for the playoffs to be held in Macao is still in the discussion stage, and there are multiple factors to consider whether it can be finally implemented.
