This season's CBA league has been completed, and Liaoning has won the second CBA championship in team history.
Many Liaoning fans are looking forward to the combination of the old, middle and young generations of this lineup, can we open a new CBA dynasty? But at present, the difficulty is not small.
First of all, the Liaoning team was able to win this season's CBA championship because the main opponent's injury situation was too correct and it was a residual team. The Guangdong team almost lost half of the team, and the Guangsha men's basketball team lacked the two main forces of Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Yanhao. In this way, the Liaoning team basically picked up a CBA championship in vain.
Secondly, the championship lineup of Liaoning Basketball will be dismantled after winning the championship. Center Forward Han Dejun is a year older, and defender Guo Allen has publicly said that "this championship means nothing to me personally, and I have no shame in Liaoning Basket", revealing the idea of leaving. As a rising star of Liaoning Basket, Zhang Zhenlin was also suddenly exposed to leave.
It is understood that Zhang Zhenlin will go to the United States next season to challenge the NBA Development League, and it is expected to take 1 to 2 years to stay in the United States. If you get a formal contract from the NBA through the performance of the NBA Development League, then Zhang Zhenlin is also very eager to try to compete in the NBA.
As a result, the Liaoning team's lineup will be dismantled again, and it is difficult to say that it will be able to reach the CBA Finals again next season. For Chinese basketball, it's a good thing that there are more young players challenging the NBA. This time, the Liaoning team can also test its true strength.
That year, the Guangdong team let the peak Yi Jianlian play in the NBA, and still won four consecutive championships in the CBA. Today's Zhang Zhenlin and the peak of Yi Jianlian is still incomparable, Liaoning team lacks such a player, can it still win the CBA championship? We'll see.
