The CBA playoffs will kick off in Nanchang on April 1 in Nanchang. The playoff teams are currently staying and training in both divisions, Shunde and Shenyang, and they are waiting for further notice from the league about the arrangements behind them. Some teams revealed that the league has arranged training venues for their divisions until the 26th. In other words, the playoff team will not be able to go to Nanchang until the 27th at the earliest.
The first round of the playoffs will soon be played in four groups, and the news now is that the first round of the playoffs is likely to be 3-2 wins. Such a format is obviously more favorable to the side with more outstanding overall strength than the previous single-game tiebreaker, so who will win these four sets of duels?
(5) Guangdong team vs Tianjin team (12): Guangdong team advanced
Guangdong's match against Shandong in the final round of the regular season is eligible to pick a first-round opponent in the playoffs. At that time, if they won against Shandong, then they would continue to meet with Shandong in the first round of the playoffs. If they lose the game, then they will face the biggest dark horse of the season, Tianjin. Judging from the course of this game, the Guangdong team would like to choose to continue to touch the Shandong team, but in the end they did not win, and the final result was to meet the Tianjin team.
But many people may overlook that Tianjin will lose the advantage of the number of foreign aid uses after the playoffs, and they are no longer four quarters and five times like the regular season, but four times in four quarters. In the regular season, the Tianjin team usually leads the opponent or maintains the advantage of the time period, it is in the second and third quarters, but now they can not have such foreign aid to use, which will have a very direct impact on them. Because, for the Tianjin team, they play in the second and third stages, the position and division of labor of each player are very clear, and the technical and tactical playing style is also very clear, but now they want to make major changes, which will also have a very direct impact on the game situation.
Guangdong and Tianjin team won two regular season meetings, one was tianjin team all-Chinese class, one was the end of the second stage, they had double foreign aid, and guangdong team was a single foreign aid at that time.
Therefore, Guangdong will have a great advantage in this group of duels, and if they can maintain their form, tianjin will have difficulty having too many opportunities.
(7) Beijing team vs Jilin team (10): Beijing team advanced
Beijing deliberately chose the 7th position in the final stages of the regular season. They hope to meet 10th-placed Gilling in the first round of the playoffs. The Shougang team has an advantage in many ways in this set of duels. The two teams met twice in the regular season, and the Shougang team won the score of 105 to 76 and 106 to 75 respectively, and the process of these two games was so similar to the result that it was also an ideal model for the Shougang team to win. There is a relatively smooth cooperation when attacking, and the success rate is higher. The defense should have enough consistency and high quality.
At the same time, the Shougang team has also done a good job in restricting the jilin team's defender foreign aid Jones. Jones averaged 26.5 points per game this season, but he was greatly limited when he faced Shougang twice. In total, he scored 19 points in both games and shot as low as 16.7 percent. From these data, it can be intuitively seen that the Shougang team has a good method and effect on limiting Jones. In fact, the Shougang team has a very basic principle to limit Jones's defense, preferring to let him shoot on the outside line or even three-point shots, and try not to give him the opportunity to break through the box. As long as Beijing can continue this defensive strategy, it will continue to lock Jones. Then there is no doubt that this round of the series is also half successful.
Although Jilin team's mid-range shooting success rate in the third stage is the second-ranked team in the league in the same period, it should be known that Beijing is the best team in defensive mid-range shooting. Therefore, the Shougang team will most likely be successfully promoted.
(6) Shenzhen team vs Shandong team (11); Shenzhen team advanced
Although the gap between Shenzhen and Shandong in the regular season is large, the first round of this set of playoffs will be very suspenseful, and it is likely to play three games. Judging from the comparison of the main positions of the lineup, the two teams are roughly equal. Shenzhen will have some advantages in the second team, considering the recent strong performances of inside and outside gironvot, but in many other ways, Shenzhen will have a slight advantage.
The Shenzhen team has continued to rise this season, and their game resilience and team integrity have further improved, and it is obvious that they have continued to improve in these aspects. But the Shenzhen team is still an old problem, Shen Zijie's use of time and efficiency problems, Shen Zijie's importance to this team need not say much, how to use him more effectively, maximize its role, directly determine how far the Shenzhen team can go this season.
Shandong struggled throughout the season, and their performance was far from expectations. This season even faces greater pressure on the playoff spot at the end of the regular season, which is somewhat unexpected. Although Tao Hanlin came back from the line of fire, the problem of injury not healing still directly affected his role and performance on the field. Fortunately, the strong performance of inside and outside Giron water in the final few games of the third stage has reduced the adverse impact in this regard to some extent.
But in fact, Shandong team lacks a field leader this season. Hudson has played a less important role in this regard than before.
Although this set of duels is likely to play three games, Shenzhen is expected to qualify successfully. In the past few seasons, shenzhen teams have played and won more hard battles, and the accumulation of experience and confidence in this area will play an important and possible decisive role in the key moments of the playoffs.
(8) Guangzhou team vs Shanxi team (9); Guangzhou team advanced
Shanxi's ranking of points scored and lost points in 100 rounds this season is 2nd and 14th respectively, and attacking strong and defending weak has always been a distinctive label for Shanxi team, and it is also the historical style of Yang Xuezeng's guidance to build the team. But this kind of offense-led, especially teams that rely heavily on offense, often encounter great difficulties in the playoffs, after all, the defensive intensity and quality of the playoffs are more than one notch higher than in the regular season, so this is the biggest difficulty of the Shanxi team.
However, in this set of duels, the Shanxi team only has a certain advantage in terms of the completeness of the lineup and the alignment of the main position, which is mainly reflected in the internal comparison. Although Guangzhou's inner line Liff will still be a big killer, even if Guo Kai is likely to make a comeback in the playoffs, Guangzhou still does not have an advantage in the inside line as a whole. This is also an important breakthrough for the Shanxi team.
Guangzhou's attack and defense this season are relatively balanced, and they have achieved the best results in team history, but for them, the increase in self-confidence gained in the process is the most important thing. The current Guangzhou team plays against the strong team, and they dare to win and win the game. This is a metamorphosis of the team's temperament. In the playoffs, guangzhou's defensive intensity will increase again, which is one of the most distinctive labels of Guo Shiqiang's team, and it is also the most important influencing factor for their promotion.
This set of duels is also likely to be played in three games.
