With Guangdong Hongyuan's big victory over Xinjiang YiliWang Wine, the CBA top twelve finally produced the top twelve in the early round with one round left in the league regular season, ending a whole season of scuffles. Although there are still some changes in the position in theory, in fact, there is no suspense, the top six in the league have not changed at all, as for the suspense between Beijing Shougang and Guangzhou Dragon lions between the seventh and eighth places, in fact, it is better than nothing, beijing Shougang's final opponent is Ningbo Fubang, Shougang wins easily, it is not good to win, and it is always impossible to bid farewell to the playoffs with defeat. As for Tianjin Forerunner and Shandong Expressway 112, Tianjin finally played with Xinjiang, which has missed the playoffs, and won more than 80%. And Shandong Expressway wants to play against the nemesis Guangdong Hongyuan, and the old balls in Shandong, who have already received playoff tickets, are not expected to have the idea of winning. So the suspense has actually disappeared. The likelihood of a ranking change is already minimal.
This season's CBA is a warring states chaotic situation, the main reason is actually from the decline in the dominance of the top four last season, champion Guangdong Hongyuan almost lost the sum of the loss of the past three seasons this season, it is not too much to say that it is a cliff-like decline, and last season's runner-up Liao Basket, although it finally ranked first as desired, but this season due to the absolute core Guo Allen's repeated injuries, the overall dominance of the Liaoning basket is obviously insufficient, and some games lose inexplicably. Last season's third place Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent, this season is more like a cup of warm water, is still the role of accompanying the prince to study. And the two fourth-place playoffs fourth place Shandong Expressway and regular season fourth place Xinjiang Guanghui is the result of the crotch, one season Xinjiang team did not even touch the playoff threshold, Shandong High Speed is stumbling in the last moment to rely on Beijing Shougang, Guangdong Hongyuan to get playoff tickets.
The collective decline of the top four last season has also created a new rise of various powers this season, with Shenzhen once reaching the top in the first half, Shanxi becoming a dark horse, Shanghai and Guangsha successively reaching the top in the second half, and Jilin and Tianjin becoming dark horses. There is also the Guangzhou Dragon Lion who is lying down and tasting guts. Compared with last season, the final four have two new members Shanghai Sharks and Zhejiang Guangsha, and the Shanghai Sharks leap from last season's playoffs to the final four. Among the new members of the playoffs, Tianjin Forerunner became the biggest highlight, three points like rain after the attack came to the top, and the dark horse Shanxi Fenjiu was also full of novelty, and the running and bombing tactics also shocked the league. Last season's playoff teams Xinjiang, Qingdao and Sichuan all said goodbye to the playoffs. Xinjiang was also the top four team last season. Falling from fourth to fourteenth should be the team with the worst decline in results this season. The Qingdao team, from the sixth place in the regular season last season to the fifteenth place now, should be able to rank second.
Since the new ranking has been preliminarily determined, the final confrontation situation of this season is self-evident, this is a very interesting matchup, very suitable for the overall scuffle pattern of the CBA this season, this year's CBA finally formed a scene of a showdown between new and old forces, guarding the upper half of the liaoning basket, Hongyuan and Zhejiang, while the lower half is Shanghai, Guangsha and Shenzhen.
Liaoyue zhejiang is last season's top three teams, belonging to the old forces, Liaoning basket has mature Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, growing Zhang Zhenlin, and Guangdong Hongyuan has black and white short three defenders, plus Yi Jianlian led by Xuan Di three elders. And Zhejiang has the Mesozoic generation led by Wu Qian, and there is also the new generation led by Yu Jiahao. They are still trying to maintain the dignity of the old forces, Liaoning basket can win the regular season championship, Zhejiang can hold the fourth, Guangdong Hongyuan does not do multiple choice questions to stick to the fifth, can see their tenacity.
And Shanghai, Guangsha and Shenzhen did not enter the final four of the regular season last season, nor did they reach the final four of the playoffs, they are all new strong teams this season, Guangsha with three young Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Yanhao as the original top match, and Shanghai is Wang Zhelin, Ren Junfei, Guo Haowen, etc. The assembly top match, Shenzhen team and Guangsha are similar, gu quan and He Xining, led by the big bird Shen Zijie, can also form the original trident. They are the representatives of the new forces this season, collectively launching a revolution against the old forces, and finally standing three seats in the first six, thus forming a situation of confrontation between the old and the new.
The formation of the old and new confrontation has also interrupted the Liao-Yue hegemony for two consecutive seasons, because it is in the same half-district, which determines that only one team in Liaoning and Guangdong can enter the finals, and a new team will appear in the final finals, which will also give the ultimate answer to the new and old confrontations this season.
