On October 16, the CBA opener will kick off in Zhuji, fully launching the first stage of the 2021-2022 season.
Because it is a tournament system, there are 2 venues at this stage, namely the Hailiang Education Park Gymnasium and the Jiyang University Gymnasium, in which Chinese fans can enjoy both the Guangdong Derby, and Guo Shiqiang's battle against the Northeast, as well as the life-and-death showdown between Guangdong and Zhejiang...
Judging from the announced schedule, the first stage ended from October 16 to November 14, which lasted nearly one month and had a total of 13 rounds.
As has been the norm in recent years, the CBA has once again started before the NBA's unveiling, so as to ensure that the first basketball feast for Chinese fans is the CBA and not the NBA.
What has changed is the squad of each team, what has not changed is the tournament system, and the love of the fans for the game...

Focus Battle 1 Guangdong Derby, permanent charm
On the opening day, there were four matches, the highlight of which was the Guangdong derby between the Shenzhen Leopards and the defending champion Guangdong South China Tigers.
In this year's offseason, the lineups of the two teams have not changed much, and The Shenzhen Leopards have won the U19 championship team of the National Games, sun Haoqin, whose strength has increased a lot; and the Guangdong South China Tigers have also supplemented the fresh blood of Xu Xin, in addition, Yi Jianlian will return from injury, and the overall strength is still in the forefront of the CBA.
Guangdong derby, the comparison is still the comprehensive strength of the team, although in the past few seasons, every time the Guangdong derby has the upper hand is often the Guangdong South China Tigers, but this year is different -
The big bird grows by leaps and bounds.
Shen Zijie's growth and progress after accompanying Du Feng's Chinese men's basketball team to international competitions are obvious to all, and later, in the final of the U22 group of the National Games, he took on a heavy responsibility under the coach Du Feng, and his confidence doubled after experiencing the test of the finals.
In this opener, 24-year-old Shen Zijie faced Yi Jianlian, who had just recovered from serious injuries, and Xu Xin, who was fighting in the CBA for the first time, as well as one of the oldest head coaches in the CBA, Du Feng, and his Teammates at the National Games.
This match will be the focus of the opening day, when the Lingnan twins will be the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, and sparks will splash.
Focus Battle 2 Juniors challenge 11 champions
The opening battle of the 2020-2020 season zhejiang youth army made a big fuss about the award night of the defending champion, allowing Guangdong to swallow the biggest rout of the opening battle, and after that, the two sides fought 4 games in the regular season, a total of 4 duels, always hard to fight, so the CBA field has 1 more "fan punch point".
Zhejiang Golden Bull and Guangdong South China Tigers are good at playing whirlwind teams, so every encounter can always play a thunderous momentum, this style of play, not only full of ornamental, but also win or lose unpredictable or even big loss.
At present, the new set of CBA duels is not as famous as the Beijing-Cantonese showdown and the Liao-Cantonese showdown, but the scene is the most watchable in the whole league.
Zhejiang's strength has soared in recent years, youth training talents have emerged, and Yu Jiahao, the number one star of the National Games U19, has made his debut in the CBA, which will greatly make up for the shortcomings of the internal line.
In the dialogue between Zhejiang and the traditional giants of the CBA, Yu Jiahao of 220CM will definitely play an important role - the 18-year-old supernova is definitely worth looking forward to, and this time standing in front of him will be Yi Jianlian, who will start his 20th career.
What makes fans happier is that in the first stage, Guangdong and Zhejiang will fight for 2 rounds, the first game is October 21, 15:30, and the second game is October 30, 19:35, the two teams playing in the all-Chinese class are expected to contribute 2 wonderful matches to the fans.
Focus Battle 3 Guo Shiqiang looked for his fellow villagers
Guo Shiqiang, a former meritorious coach of Liaoning basketball, went south to Guangzhou, and in the southern country thousands of miles away, he led a new team to start a new journey.
This is Guo Shiqiang's first time in 30 years to coach a club team outside Liaoning, and the result is also ideal, he took Guangzhou to Liaoning 4 times in the regular season, from a 35-point defeat to a 2-point loss by Han Dejun, although he failed to win, he played quite aggressively.
Guo Shiqiang's challenge continues, the new season of Guangzhou is complemented by Li Jinglong, Tong Jiajun, a group of young people can see the progress every day, they are eager to win the old club for the head coach, even if it is only 1 game; they are more eager to prove themselves.
Guangzhou vs Liaoning, the first game of the new season is October 17, 15:30, anyway, this game will be very interesting.
In the U22 group final of the National Games, Guo Shiqiang sat on the sidelines as an audience, witnessing the process of Yang Ming leading the team to defend the title, but back on the CBA field, Guo Shiqiang and the Guangzhou he led will definitely beat their old clubs - winning, may not prove anything; but losing certainly cannot prove anything.
Focus Battle 4 on the beach of the owner series bumper
The most vigorous off-season is Shanghai Beach, Shanghai Jiushi Shark Club has formed a strong team, including the head coach and players, the turnover of large-scale personnel is more frequent than all other teams in the league, the new season, Shanghai Beach star players playing against their old clubs, will be one of the themes of Shanghai.
On October 17, Shanghai's new luxury lineup was officially unveiled, the first game against Tianjin, that is the new owner of Shanghai veteran Zhang Zhaoxu this summer, although the paper strength is quite different, but Zhang Zhaoxu's improvement of Tianjin's shortcomings may give the shark a headbutt - anywhere, it is always the person who knows himself best to deal with himself.
On November 7, Shanghai vs Fujian, Wang Zhelin will represent his new owner against his hometown team and old owner.
Since entering the CBA in 2012, Wang Zhelin has been playing for Fujian, this is his first transfer, but also the league after many years of MVP players transfer, the new Fujian will hope to show their own appearance in front of the former boss, Wang Zhelin wants to prove that the same is the Pacific coast, the genius of the magic capital is clear.
Later, on October 20 and November 9, Yuan Tangwen will also represent Shanghai against his old club Sichuan.
I don't know what sichuan is thinking about renting the most promising young backcourt in the team to Shanghai, but mu has become a boat, and such a game may make Sichuan fans love and hate.
Focus Battle 5 When the Beijing-Cantonese showdown has Jeremy Lin again
On November 6, 19:35, the new season of "Beijing-Cantonese Showdown i." was staged.
In the past 2 seasons, the Beijing-Cantonese showdown has played each other consecutively in the playoffs, which has a bit of a taste of the Stephen Marbury era of Beijing-Cantonese duels, but due to the revival of the Guangdong Dynasty, these 2 duels have been laughed to the end, and Sony Weems has scored key goals 2 times, 1 board equalizer, and 1 full-court run to kill.
Beijing-Cantonese showdown has never been calm, even when there is a disparity in strength, it is always full of smoke, this time Beijing is still recruiting to improve the thickness of the lineup, Jeremy Lin returned to the league after a season - in recent years, Beijing has only won 1 Beijing-Cantonese showdown, which is Jeremy Lin's last moment to turn the tide.
There is no doubt that the Beijing-Cantonese showdown in the 2021-2022 season has become something to look forward to again.
On November 14, the closing day of the first phase, at 11:00, "Beijing-Cantonese Showdown II" will be staged again.
Overall, the schedule is not so friendly to Beijing, from the first game against Guangdong to the final battle, they have to play against Guangdong, Zhejiang Jinniu, Qingdao, Guangdong, a wave of 4 games are all strong enemies, not surprisingly will have a great impact on Beijing's ranking in the first stage.
Focus Battle 6 Northern Leopard Southern Lion, long-cherished enemies and deep enemies
In the regular season last season, the Liaoning Flying Leopards were defeated twice by the Zhejiang Lions in 10 days, but in the playoffs, the Fierce Lions were unable to stop the flying Leopards because of the lack of big foreign aid Miroslav Radulica.
Since the 2017-2018 season in the Finals, the two teams have always been full of anger, and the 2018-2019 regular season has met twice, with a point difference of 5 points;
In the last 2 seasons, the Lions have given the Flying Leopards a heavy blow from time to time in the regular season, including 3 wins and 1 loss in the 2019-2020 season, and the Flying Leopards only won 1 game or a 20-point earth-shattering reversal, which shows the difficulty of the process; last season, it was 2 games, and the Flying Leopards were beaten to a bad temper.
Overall, the regular season Lion's anger value has soared, and the playoff Flying Leopards are experienced, and this set of duels is very good.
The two teams will meet twice in the first stage, october 31 and November 14, especially in the final stage, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Lions will first meet the Xinjiang Flying Tigers, and then fight the Liaoning Flying Leopards, and the wins and losses of these 2 games are expected to make their rankings change greatly between the 4th and 8th places.
