CBA Regular Season Schedule:
The increase in the fixture schedule is a benefit to the fans and also good for promoting the influence of the league. It is a test for the depth of the bench, but it also gives more opportunities for young players, and hopefully our league will produce more future stars such as Choi Yongxi and Lim Wei.
