The CBA's 31st round of the regular season has been completed. There are still seven regular season rounds left in the league. At present, Shanghai, Liaoning, Zhejiang and Guangsha are all 25 wins and 6 losses, ranking first to fourth respectively. It can be seen that the competition at the top of the list is very fierce.
Similarly, the marginal areas of the playoffs, Shandong and Beikong, have the same record of 15 wins and 16 losses, ranking eleventh and twelfth respectively. Tianjin and Xinjiang have a record of 13 wins and 18 losses, ranking 13th and 14th respectively. In short, the competition for the playoffs is intensifying. The Shougang team currently wins three consecutive times, and they are stable in the seventh position, which is a big gap of two wins from the sixth Shenzhen team.
Compared to the past two seasons, the competition for the top spot has never been so fierce. Previously, it was more of a "two-man turn" between Guangdong and Liaoning, but now the Guangdong team has already fallen out of the top four groups. Shanghai's upward momentum is very rapid.
Shanghai has risen to the top spot after beating Liaoning before. But they lost to Jilin in the last round and failed to extend their lead.
The Liaoning team is in a painful period, because their record in the first two stages is very good, even after three consecutive defeats in the third stage, they can still rank in the top three. The Liaoning team is waiting for the return of core defender Guo Allen. And when Guo Allen returns, the Liaoning team will recover. The two teams in Zhejiang and Guangsha continue to maintain stability, of course, the schedule is relatively friendly, which is also an important reason for their stable record.
The playoffs are equally bitterly contested. Shandong and Beijing Control currently have the same record, but both teams have their own problems. Shandong is experiencing a wave of serious injuries, with Tao Hanlin's injury being the most adverse. Tao Hanlin's value is irreplaceable, which directly affects the possibility of Shandong team impacting the playoffs. Shandong's backside schedule is also very difficult, and they have to face Beijing twice and Guangdong once. Although Beijing Control welcomed back the rapid return of Liao Sanning and Zhang Fan, their state was still a certain gap from before the injury. At the same time, Yu Changdong and Haas are still injured, and they have not yet played in the third stage. The schedule behind The North Control is also difficult, they will face Guangdong twice, once in Shenzhen and once in Beijing. But all in all, Beijing Control can still take its fate into its own hands. At the same time, they also felt great pressure from the teams behind to catch up.
Tianjin's record in the third stage was 2 wins and 1 loss, one defeat to Shandong and one big victory over Xinjiang. Tianjin's backside schedule is relatively friendly, and they will launch the strongest impact on the playoffs. The Xinjiang team may lack stamina, they have too much ups and downs in the third stage, and the back schedule is also very difficult, and the Xinjiang team may lack stamina.
Shougang have remained stable and they have won three in a row. After defeating Guangzhou, Shougang's ranking rose from eighth to seventh. After beating North Control in the last round, they were firmly in eighth place. Shougang have a friendly schedule behind them and are likely to continue to improve their rankings.
