On March 28, Beijing time, this year's CBA playoffs will start on April 1, and the defending champion Guangdong only finished 5th in the regular season, they had no chance to lock in the quarterfinals in advance, and needed to compete in the playoffs 12 into 8. Nowadays, according to the official microblog of Yi Jianlian Chinese Network, the degree of eye swelling in Guangdong core Yi Jianlian has been significantly alleviated, which is undoubtedly a positive factor.
Yi Jianlian has been suspended for more than a year since the 2020 Finals G3 battle was seriously injured after a ruptured Achilles tendon, and did not come back until this season. Yi Jianlian has not yet returned to peak condition in the regular season this season, while Guangdong stumbled and did not perform well, only finishing 5th in the regular season, and the team once again missed the top four after 19 years.
In the finale of the regular season, Guangdong lost to Shandong in overtime, Yi Jianlian collided with Shandong's big foreign aid Giron Watt when he was fighting under the basket, and his eyes were hit by the opponent's rush to grab rebounds, resulting in a very obvious redness and swelling phenomenon.
Now according to the report of Yi Jianlian Chinese Network, "Update: The swelling of the eye of the big brother (Yi Jianlian) has been significantly alleviated, thank you again for your concern, we see you in the playoffs!" ”
Guangdong will play against the big dark horse Tianjin in the first round of the playoffs, Tianjin is back on the playoff stage after 8 years, and the third stage has a record of 7 wins and 3 losses. Guangdong is in an advantage in terms of strength, experience and other links, but undoubtedly still needs to be treated with caution, and Yi Jianlian's injury has improved, which naturally makes people expect him to lead the team to impact 4 consecutive championships in the playoffs, which is also the 12th crown in the history of the impact team.
