With March just around the corner, the CBA League will also officially restart. According to the arrangement of the CBA League, the third stage of the league will be played in two divisions, Shunde and Shenyang, Foshan.
Judging from the teams in the participating areas of the two divisions, the strength gap between the 10 teams in the Shunde Division is more obvious, except for Guangdong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Beijing Shougang, the strength of the other 7 teams is not particularly strong.
Therefore, the above four teams can fully take advantage of this opportunity to grab more league points in the third stage of the league, so as to obtain a more favorable playoff qualifying.
From the perspective of the match situation in the third stage of the league, the possibility of CBA veteran powerhouse Beijing Shougang winning consecutive games is very large. With the player configuration of the Shougang team, if there are no major surprises, they can win at least 8 of the last 10 games.
For shougang team, winning the first game of the third stage of the league and ushering in a good start will play a very key role in the next league trend.
The opponent of the Shougang team in this game is the Xinjiang men's basketball team, which has seriously declined in strength this season. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two teams, the advantage occupied by the Shougang team is still very obvious.
In terms of internal lines, Shougang has two top local players, Li Muhao and Fan Ziming. After the official return of big foreign aid Hamilton, the strength of the Shougang team's internal offensive and defensive ends has been further improved.
In terms of the outside, although the local defenders of the Shougang team are either older, or too young and lack sufficient experience in the competition, the club has solved this problem well by bringing in foreign aid.
The three young foreign players Jeremy Lin, Gibson and Barry Brown are quite capable. As the core of the team's outside line, Jeremy Lin is more focused on organizing the attack and connecting the entire team. Brown and Gibson are more focused on the attack of the outside, and their scoring ability can provide a steady stream of fire support for the outside line of the Shougang team.
Brown, in particular, has only played 2 games for Shougang, but he has already shown the strength of a super scorer. It is believed that after a 1-month run-in period, Brown can play better in the team.
In contrast, the Xinjiang team, after Zhou Qi left the team, the inner line that the team was most proud of in the past has become incomparably weak. Now can only rely on the big foreign aid Mortree alone to support, facing the Shougang team with 3 towers, the disadvantage of Xinjiang's inner line has been very obvious.
The outside line of the Xinjiang team also has no small problems, the veteran Zeng Lingxu has been useless, Yu Dehao is defensive and weak, and Arslan's ability can only play a supporting role.
From the current situation, the only advantage of the Xinjiang team is in the front line, and Abdul Salam, who has completely come out of injury, has ushered in a big outbreak this season, and he is currently the second scorer in the Xinjiang team.
In addition, the young player Qi Lin has also played very well this season, with more than 40% of the three-point shooting rate, ensuring that the outside line of the Xinjiang team can have a relatively stable output.
Therefore, if Shougang wants to defeat the Xinjiang team, it must defend Abudu and Qi Lin, and use the advantages of the inside and outside players to give the opponent a fatal blow.
Theoretically, as long as the Shougang team can play stable enough, there should not be too much of a problem in winning the Xinjiang team in this game, and the biggest suspense of this game may be how many points the Shougang team can win against the Xinjiang team.
Of course, the Xinjiang team will not sit still. As a former CBA champion, the Xinjiang men's basketball team will definitely go all out to reach the playoffs this season. Therefore, the confrontation between the two teams in this game will be very intense, and the scene of the game will be better.
The CCTV sports channel CCTV5 will also broadcast this game live, hoping that the fans of the two teams will not forget the game time and watch this wonderful Beijing-Xinjiang battle at the first time.
