After Guangsha's upset loss to Qingdao, which has missed the playoffs, the suspense of the championship competition in the regular season seems to have decreased, and the chances of Liaoning winning the championship are already very large.
No one expected that Guangsha would lose to Qingdao, after all, there is still a gap between the strength of the two sides, and Qingdao has missed the playoffs in advance, it is said that there is no desire or demand, but Qingdao has defeated Liaoning and Guangsha in the third stage, and the spirit of this team is commendable.
However, the direct result of Guangsha's loss is that their chances of competing for the regular season championship are getting smaller. At the beginning of the third stage, Liaoning, Shanghai, Guangsha and Zhejiang were direct contenders for the regular season championship, and with the Liaoning Basket losing three consecutive defeats, it gave other opponents the opportunity.
However, other opponents did not catch it, Shanghai lost to Jilin and Guangsha, Zhejiang lost to Guangsha and Liaoning, and now Guangsha lost to Qingdao, which allowed Liaoning, which won three consecutive victories, to regain the initiative.
Take a look at the next fixtures for these four teams:
Liaoning: Sichuan, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Sichuan
Guangsha: Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu
Shanghai: Shanxi, Liaoning, Guangsha, Shanxi
Zhejiang: Jilin, Guangsha, Jilin, Tongxi
On paper, Liaoning's opponents are undoubtedly the weakest. Although it will be against Shanghai, but Shanghai Li Tianrong injured the return date is difficult to determine, the big foreign aid Feng Lai suffered a leg injury, currently said to rest for 3-5 days, but once again to face the Liaoning basket, I am afraid that the team will not go all out to fight, after all, but also to prepare for the playoffs.
Zhejiang has also suffered from injuries recently, and wuqian in Liaoning simply did not go up, two foreign aides, small foreign did not register, and large foreign reports did not appear, which shows that Zhejiang has begun to adjust and has no intention of competing.
Although they are also expected to win the last three opponents, it is almost impossible to catch up with Liaoning, after all, Liaoning does not lose, they have no hope.
Now it can be said that for the second time in the history of Liaoning Basketball to win the regular season championship, I am afraid that there is no suspense, and the team will of course consider the playoffs and adjust appropriately.
