At the end of the 38th round of the regular season, the CBA league will temporarily press the pause button as the teams win and lose, and the All-Star Weekend will begin, and after the short All-Star Weekend, the CBA will enter the final four rounds of competition. Multiple suspense will be revealed in the final four rounds.
The first big suspense, when is the second dispute between Liaoning and Guangdong.
Before the start of the season, it is difficult to imagine that the two giants of Liaoning and Guangdong will continue the battle for second place to this day, the theme of the past few seasons is the Liaoyue competition, but now it has become the second competition of the regular season of the season, the real status behind is that the two teams will play the drama of meeting in advance in the semifinals of last season, which means that one of the two teams will not compete for the championship in the final this season.
As the two giants of the CBA, if they fight in advance, the most beneficial thing is undoubtedly the first-ranked Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent. In fact, as far as the current pattern is concerned, Liaoning and Guangdong teams can have a team to make strategic adjustments to avoid the two teams meeting in advance, but now look at the two teams do not have this meaning, guess the main reason is two possibilities, the first two teams are unwilling to meet the first ranked Zhejiang team in advance, which is also rare in the past, after all, Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent in the past few seasons although it can disrupt the situation, but there is no real threat to them, this season Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent really scared them?
Second, as the traditional strength of the CBA, if the two teams make strategic adjustments, they will really not be able to get by, and giving up at the same time is undoubtedly taking the initiative to show weakness to each other, which is a reality that neither team is willing to face. You can only bite the bullet and go down. This second battle may really continue to the final round, depending on who will accidentally drop the chain, otherwise Guangdong Hongyuan can only pay for the original abandonment.
The second suspense is whether Shandong Expressway will change coaches
Shandong High-speed lost away to Tianjin Pioneers, the team suffered three consecutive defeats, and is now gradually slipping out of the eighth position in the ranking table, and two of the three games were upset losses, losing to Tianjin Pioneers, the second lowest in the league, in fact, the third from the bottom Sichuan Jinrong. This kind of crotch-pulling performance is really rare in the CBA. Especially at the critical end of the regular season, the teams are fully in the best form of the season to prepare for the playoffs. However, Shandong Expressway has become a scattered sand, and since the start of the third stage, Shandong Expressway has won one away game and lost five consecutive games, and has only achieved a record of 4 wins and 6 losses in ten rounds. From the most promising team to finish fourth, to the fishbelly that everyone is seeing.
The entire basketball circle can see that the current Shandong team has obvious problems, and the problem is still relatively serious, coach Wang Han obviously did not successfully knead Shandong high-speed, the horse lantern-like replacement of foreign aid, did not bring Wang Han another foreign aid Jones, but let Wang Han's employment shortcomings undoubtedly revealed, Shandong Expressway, which was widely considered strong before the season, eventually became another form of Jilin Jiutai Rural Commercial Bank team lacking major generals, At this time, many media and many basketball professionals are calling for Shandong Expressway to make changes, and cannot just fall into it. Shandong fans have repeatedly shouted out Wang Han's call for class, but the Shandong high-speed management team sat firmly on the fishing platform, and it was golden to remain silent, and did not take any measures to address the problems existing in the team.
I don't know if Shandong Expressway will make its due choice in this all-star weekend! After all, this season is a season of coach changes, and changing coaches is as ordinary as changing clothes. However, for many other opponents, whether Shandong High-speed changes coaches is a big thing, because it will be related to their choice of playoff opponents, if Shandong High-speed does not change coaches, they are undoubtedly the choice of multiple teams, who is not willing to play a three-no team with no attack, no defense and no strong points?
The third suspense is who will spend the last ticket
At the end of the regular season, the top eight in the league have already locked their playoff tickets four rounds in advance, and the Guangzhou Dragons and Lions, ranked 11th with 57 points, are as many as 3 points ahead of the twelfth place, and there are four rounds left in the league, which is already a relatively safe lead. Therefore, the final suspense is undoubtedly who can get the last playoff ticket to the three teams of Jiangsu Kendia, Qingdao Guoxin and Nanjing Tongxi, who have 54 points.
Jiangsu Kendia faced Jilin Siberian Tigers, Sichuan Jinrong, Fujian Xunxing and Beijing Shougang in the last four rounds, while Qingdao Guoxin faced Beijing Shougang, Jilin Siberian Tigers, Sichuan Jinrong and Liaoning Bengang in the last four rounds. Nanjing Tongxi's opponents in the final four rounds were Shandong Expressway, Xinjiang Guanghui, Shenzhen Marco Polo and Ningbo Machiwo. Purely from the perspective of the strength of the opponent, Jiangsu Kendia is undoubtedly the most promising, after all, their opponents include Sichuan Jinrong and Fujian Xunxing, who have replaced their fishbelly status.
For these three teams, no matter who finally wins this last playoff ticket is a miracle, Jiangsu two teams are last season's super fish belly, this season has achieved salted fish turnover, and Qingdao Guoxin is the youth army after the big change, not many people are optimistic that they can play to this ranking. So for all three teams, it doesn't matter who spends this last playoff ticket, what matters is that they have all given themselves hope this season.
