On March 21, Beijing time, according to basketball reporter Song Xiang's report, CBA has officially notified the top 12 teams in the standings that after the end of the regular season, they will continue to stay in the division and wait for the latest notification.
It is reported that the CBA League takes into account the uncertainties of the epidemic and the teams from different provinces, and will not consider the holiday, but directly enter the preparation state of the playoffs, stay in the playoffs to rest and adjust, and wait for the arrival of the playoffs.
According to the CBA's official notice to the top 12 teams in the standings, the playoffs of the new season will start in Nanchang, and the time is set for April 1. That means teams that make it to the playoffs will get a week or so of buffer time.
However, Nanchang has been plagued by the recent epidemic, and at this point, the CBA team has entered the hotel in the Nanchang division, and is currently waiting for the latest notice, and the specific check-in time may face new adjustments.
According to the previous plan, from the Zhejiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Guangdong hotel, basically about 3 days in advance, in addition to convenient management, but also to most of the teams to adapt to the Process of Nanchang Division Stadium, from the level of humanized management, has been a relatively acceptable result.
However, there are significant differences between the playoffs and the regular season, and they will not take turns against each other, but rather a 3-5-5-7 series. Places 5-12 will need to play in the first round of play-offs to qualify for the Round of 8, while places 1-4 are seeded teams that will compete against the four teams that have advanced.
The 12 teams currently identified are Liaoning, Guangsha, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanxi, Jilin, Tianjin, Shandong. Specific rankings, Beijing, Guangzhou still need to play until the last round to reveal the division, Shandong and Tianjin are the same.
In this regard, the uncertainties in Nanchang, from the perspective of time, can be accepted range, but also the CBA company further consider the plan, with reference to this season's playoffs, no later than May 20, I believe that most of the fan media, this is the CBA new season is the most noteworthy place. Liaoning, Guangdong, Guangsha, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Beijing are all eyeing the overall champion, and the decisive battle is about to start.
