Injuries may change the pattern of the CBA championship, and Du Feng is expected to become a winner!
In the just-concluded CBA playoffs 12-8 game, the Shanghai men's basketball team defeated the Beijing men's basketball team 110-96, and the Shanghai team once stretched the difference to nearly 30 points during the game! Although the Shanghai men's basketball team ranked sixth in the regular season rankings, and the Beijing men's basketball team only ranked eleventh, from the state of the Beijing team in the third stage, they will not have such a big gap with the Shanghai team.
Among them, Booker accidentally slipped and strained his thigh with about 4 minutes left in the first quarter, and Leaf strained his right leg in the process of grabbing a rebound! What is more serious than a loss for the Beijing team is that they injured two foreign aides in a game, and from the injury situation, Booker and Leaf suffered strain, such injuries are difficult to recover in a short period of time, so the next game Beijing team is likely to face the dilemma of a single foreign aid operation, and this round of the series is also likely to lose suspense because of the injury of two foreign aids!
In fact, it is not only the Beijing team that has been affected by injuries, many of the 12 teams that have entered the playoffs have been plagued by injuries, and it is no exaggeration to say that injuries may change the CBA championship pattern again like the previous two seasons, and this time the final winner is likely to change from Yang Ming in the first two seasons to Du Feng!
The teams with the highest demands for winning the championship so far this season are undoubtedly the Guangdong team, the Liaoning team, the Xinjiang team, and the Guangsha team! Among these four teams, only the main lineup of the Guangdong team has not suffered from injuries! If the Guangdong team can finally beat these three teams one after another, they will win the team's 12th championship as they wish!
First of all, let's talk about the first Guangsha team that is expected to meet the Guangdong team, they are currently plagued by injuries are Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao! In the next round of the series with the Guangdong team, once the two are unable to play due to injury or their state is affected by injury, it will be difficult for them to prevent the Guangdong team from advancing to the semifinals, because the two are too important for the current Guangsha team, perhaps because it is precisely because of the injuries of the two that no one is optimistic about the Guangsha team winning the championship in the prediction of the championship on a certain platform!
As for how important Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao are to the Guangsha team, I believe that fans who have watched the two teams play very well know that in this season's encounter, the Guangsha team with Sun Minghui won the Guangdong team by 14 points at home, while the Guangsha team without Sun Minghui lost to the Guangdong team by 53 points away from home! Including in terms of personal strength, Sun Minghui is also the only player in the league who averages 20+10 per game!
In addition, I believe that many fans still remember the series of reversal and elimination of the Guangdong team by the Guangsha team last season, when after losing the first game, the Guangsha team let Zhao Yanhao come back with an injury in the second game, and he really hit a few key goals, so if Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao can't get rid of the injury in the next game, the Guangdong team will become the ultimate winner!
Once the Guangdong team wins the Guangsha team, the Guangdong team will meet the Liaoning team, the Liaoning team is also facing injury problems, their core defender Guo Allen played a total of two games during the regular season, although in those two games to help the Liaoning team beat the Guangdong team, but then he relapsed the old injury, Guo Allen is still receiving treatment in Spain! Although they have signed a new foreign aid at the whistle, the strength of the new foreign aid and the run-in with the team are unknown, and they must use Han Dejun when using small foreign aid, and the current Han Dejun can be said to have no advantage in the face of Zhou Qi! Therefore, whether Guo Allen can come back is directly related to whether the Liaoning men's basketball team can complete the three consecutive championships! Once Guo Allen can't come back in the semifinals, I think Du Feng is bound to break the Guangdong team's losing streak in the semifinals against the Liaoning team!
Followed by the Xinjiang team, if the Guangdong team and the Xinjiang team can finally meet in the finals, the injury will undoubtedly determine the trend of the game again, because Zhu Xuhang of the Xinjiang team has been reimbursed in advance of the season, Zhao Rui has played a total of 9 games on behalf of the Xinjiang team so far, even if he can come back in the playoffs, he will face two major problems of state and running-in, so the Xinjiang team is equivalent to missing Zhu Xuhang and Zhao Rui, the two absolute main forces! Therefore, their strength will be greatly reduced!
For the Guangdong team, although they were trapped by Zhou Qi's injury in the regular season and only finished fourth, it can be clearly seen that Zhou Qi has gradually gotten rid of the injury in the third stage, and with the integration of Jordan Bell, Du Feng will have a set of the strongest lineup so far in the playoffs, in this case, the Guangdong team led by Du Feng has a high probability of defeating Guangsha, Liaoning and Xinjiang in a row, and finally become the biggest winner of the season!
