There are no miracles!The minimum score difference in the top 8 is 16 points, and the champion will be produced among them
After the first game of the first round of the playoffs, it was all won by the team with the best record in the regular season, and there were no surprises. All four games were won by strong teams, and the smallest game with a score difference of 16 points, there will be no more miracles in the playoffs, and it is almost impossible to have a situation like the 12-8 game.
In the first round of the playoffs, the top four teams in the regular season had a bye, and the teams ranked 5-12 played 3 games with a best-of-2 system, except for the Guangzhou Dragon and Lions team, which counterattacked the Qingdao team ranked 7th in the regular season as the 10th in the regular season, the rest of the top teams had no suspense, and they all defeated their opponents 2-1 to easily advance. In the quarter-finals, the top four teams in the regular season had a break of about 10 days, and their performances in this round of the series were relaxed, and the first game was a big win over the opponent without pressure.
In the two games on the evening of April 18, the Liaoning team defeated the Shenzhen Marco Polo team 124-87, outscoring the opponent by 37 points, the Guangdong Hongyuan team defeated the Zhejiang Guangsha team 120-100, outscoring the opponent by 20 points, the Xinjiang team defeated the Guangzhou Longshi team 108-91 in the game on April 19, outscoring the opponent by 17 points, and Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent defeated the Shanghai team 125-109, outscoring the opponent by 16 points, which is also the smallest point difference in the quarterfinals so far.
Judging from the process of the game, the Liaoning team, which ranked first in the regular season, defeated the Shenzhen Marco Polo team by 37 points, and the strength gap between the two sides in this group of games was the largest, and there was almost no suspense that the Liaoning team would win 3-0. Guangdong Hongyuan and Zhejiang Guangsha ranked fourth and fifth respectively in the regular season, and the strength of the two teams in this group of games was the closest, but the two main defenders of the Guangsha team, Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao, were plagued by injuries, and their performance on the field was far from the regular season, and they may only play about 60% of their peak state, if Sun Minghui can not recover in a short period of time, there is no suspense in this round of the series.
In the other two groups of games, although the Xinjiang team defeated the Guangzhou team by 17 points at home, they did not have an overwhelming advantage over the Guangzhou team, the first quarter of the game was once pressed by the Guangzhou team, and the whole game led to 15 points many times and was chased back by the Guangzhou team, there are a lot of suspense in the ups and downs of the game, although the Xinjiang team has an advantage in the depth of the lineup can beat the Guangzhou Dragon and Lions in the series, but it is definitely difficult to go to the end, and the semifinals are a big problem. Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent also had ups and downs in the game against the Shanghai team, but Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent can always grasp the situation on the court, and can respond positively to the Shanghai team's multiple counterattacks and consecutive scores, and they have no problem winning this round of the series, and may even make it all the way to the finals like last year.
Judging from the current state of each team, the top four teams Liaoning, Xinjiang, Zhejiang Chouzhou and Guangdong have all booked the top four of the playoffs. The semi-finals are likely to be Liaoning vs. Guangdong, Xinjiang vs. Zhejiang Chouzhou, the results of the semi-finals are currently difficult to predict, but it is certain that there will be no 3-0 sweep, and in the 1/4 finals, the Liaoning team is likely to sweep Shenzhen 3-0, and the rest of the groups of games will end within 4 games. The playoffs are about to heat up, and they will get more and more exciting as the schedule progresses.
The Guangzhou team, under the guidance of Guo Shiqiang, has been getting stronger and stronger in recent years, and is a dark horse in the playoffs, but they have encountered a strong Xinjiang team, which is likely to stop here this season, and may win a game in the series, but more likely to be a result. However, it is good that they can get here, the resilience of the Guangzhou team and the coaching ability of Guo Shiqiang are obvious to all, and if they can be targeted reinforcements and reinforcements in the offseason, they will be the spoilers of the CBA in the future.
