The CBA playoffs have now reached the finals, and only two teams from Liaoning and Xinjiang are left among the twelve teams, and these two teams are also meeting on the stage of the finals for the first time in history.
The next time the CBA playoffs will be 3557. Three matches are played in the first round, five matches are played in the quarters and semifinals, and seven games are played in the finals. Fans say they haven't watched it, and hope that next season they can increase the number of playoff games and reduce some regular season games, so as not to make the regular season lengthy and the playoffs end hastily.
The Liaoning team has eliminated Shenzhen and Guangdong, the Xinjiang team has eliminated Guangzhou and Zhejiang Chouzhou, and the northern teams have all eliminated the southern teams, leaving only two northern teams in a showdown.
The previous record of the historical confrontation between the two teams was that the Liaoning team lost to Xinjiang four times in the playoffs, and the Liaoning team only won the Xinjiang team once in the 2020~2021 season. The Xinjiang team has won four of the five encounters, which is a psychological advantage for the Xinjiang team.
Looking at the experience of the 28 finals of the entire CBA league, the team that was able to win the first game of the finals won the entire series 22 times. With a 78.6% probability, it can be said that the first game will be particularly important for both sides.
The first game of the playoffs will be played at the home of Liaoning, who have the home advantage because they are the team that ranks first in the regular season. The Xinjiang team players also arrived in Shenyang yesterday for pre-match preparations, and the Xinjiang team that arrived in Shenyang was obviously welcomed by Liaoning fans, and there was no situation where the Guangdong team arrived in Shenyang before.
The two teams of Xinjiang and Liaoning are still relatively friendly at present, although the Liaoning team has also suffered Han Dejun at the home stadium of Xinjiang and was ignored by the referee at the last moment. However, it has been a long time since the incident, and both sides have long forgotten this history, and the people of the Xinjiang team have long been different from this group of players.
Tonight, the Xinjiang team wants to challenge the home of the Liaoning team, and the Liaoning team wants to defend its home field, and the two sides must give in step by step. Everyone knows how important the first game is, and whoever wins tonight in the finals will have a big enough psychological advantage.
The Liaojiang war is about to break out, and most people are optimistic about Liaoning winning the championship, and only a very small number of people support the Xinjiang team. Is the truth in the hands of a few? Or is the Liaoning team winning the championship without any suspense? We'll see from tonight.
