After eight rounds of the cba league, taking a look at the standings, Zhejiang Shuangxiong and the traditional strong teams of the league, the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Liaoning men's basketball team, are also 7 wins and 1 loss (currently Guangsha has one less game), and together occupy the top position in the standings. But I believe that most fans will not be surprised by this matter at all, because since the 2017-2018 season, Zhejiang Shuangxiong has begun to rise, and has frequently attacked the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Liaoning men's basketball team in several seasons.
Guangdong men's basketball team and Liaoning men's basketball team Needless to say, from the first year of the CBA, the two teams can be said to be strong all the way to the present. Although the players have changed a few waves, in most seasons, both teams can reach the final four. They are also the two teams that have provided the most players for the national team in the past 25 years. In addition to the already disbanded Bayi men's basketball team, it is no exaggeration to say that these two teams are the strongest two teams in the history of the CBA.
But Zhejiang Shuangxiong is really not a traditional strong team, in fact, both teams are also teams that have existed since the first year of the CBA, but before in the league, they all existed as weak brigades, and the Zhejiang men's basketball team has always been a playoff marginal team in the zhengwu and Yu Leping era of that year, until Wu Naiqun traveled south, formed the sunset red trident, and tasted the taste of the top four, but after that it was still struggling for a playoff quota.
The story of Zhejiang Guangsha is even more tortuous, their predecessor Shenbu men's basketball team, in the early cba is actually a blood-making machine of the Bayi men's basketball team, after sending the last star Moko to Bayi, the Shenbu men's basketball team was disbanded. Subsequently, after Guangsha Group obtained the club operation license from the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Bureau, it quickly took over the Shenbu men's basketball team and successfully returned to the CBA. But back to the early days of CBA, it has always been the presence of a fish belly.
A few days ago, I saw a Shandong peer posted a sigh, ten years ago, the Shandong men's basketball team can casually play two teams in Zhejiang, but between these ten years, the Shandong men's basketball team has been stagnant, but Zhejiang Shuangxiong has quietly undergone tremendous changes, and now the Shandong men's basketball team against Zhejiang Shuangxiong has been very difficult, and even slightly fell into the downwind. Yes, you should know that the Shandong men's basketball team is also a traditional strong team of the CBA, a regular visitor to the top four. But now Zhejiang Shuangxiong is at least a team of the same level as them, and even stronger than Shandong in the all-China class.
In recent seasons, the two teams in Zhejiang have indeed launched a strong impact on the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Liaoning men's basketball team, and often appear in the regular season to pick these two teams down, but in the playoffs, it is only in the 2017-2018 season, Zhejiang Guangsha has picked out the Guangdong men's basketball team that has not yet completed the replacement of the old and the new, and has never defeated these two teams in the playoffs since.
I have to say that in the past ten years, the two teams in Zhejiang have really cultivated a group of young talents, and their youth training system has been very perfect. You can take a look at it, if you compare the lineup, in fact, Zhejiang Shuangxiong has not lost to Guangdong and Liaoning. The reason why they still suffer losses when facing two teams in the playoffs is actually just a loss in the bottom line. It is really better than the players after 93, the four teams have almost been on a par with each other, but Zhejiang Shuangxiong does not have such a pressing figure as Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Han Dejun, and Li Xiaoxu.
In fact, we see that there is a reason why these four teams are strong, and professional clubs are still fighting for money in the end. Of course, it's not just about fighting for the investor's financial resources, sometimes we often see words in the media saying that a team will increase its investment efforts. However, in recent seasons, especially after the salary limit, the investment of CBA teams each season is actually not much different, such as the Two Teams of Beijing and Shanghai, a season is about 150 million, and the less is more than 100 million. Sounds tens of millions worse. But it's not much different from our previous 100s and 150s.
In fact, the real gap is still reflected in the economy of the team's location, Guangdong and Liaoning Needless to say, the two generations of new China's economy are the gdp of Guangdong and the per capita deposit of Liaoning today. Therefore, the fans in these two regions have a strong spending power, and these fans can not only raise the team, but also raise the players. Many players in both teams have a lot of business, which is why Guangdong and Liaoning have a group of low-salary and high-energy players, on the one hand, the cohesion of the team, on the other hand, because many of their players' salaries are only a small part of the income.
In the past fifteen years, the economic development of Zhejiang has also been obvious to all, which is why the youth training of the two teams in Zhejiang in recent years has attracted so many young talents from all over the country. At the same time, the two teams in Zhejiang also began to learn from Guangdong and Liaoning, and began to work hard to help the relatively flowing players in the team to receive local business, which was distributed by the club and the players according to the agreed proportion. It can also be said that Zhejiang Shuangxiong, following the Two Teams of Liaoning and Guangdong, has gradually begun to have the appearance of a real professional club.
When the club begins to have a hematopoietic function, it can have more voice in front of the investor and the sports bureau, so as to truly achieve insider management insiders, whether it is the investor or the sports bureau, they are just leaders, it can be said that there is only equity, but there is no right to operate. Clubs can also free their hands and feet to manage the team and the echelons at all levels, which is the word management rather than management.
In fact, it is reasonable to say that the two teams of Beijing and Shanghai, that is, Beijing Shougang and Shanghai Jiushi also have this condition, and their team traffic and popularity are also very high, and whether it is the number of fans or the spending power of the fan group, they are not lost to these four teams. But I don't know why, the team is blindly investing, rather than running the youth training, they prefer to spend high prices to buy mature stars. Of course, this is also another way of operating the club, and I will not evaluate the advantages and disadvantages here.
Speaking of the two teams in Zhejiang, after years of operation, they have the qualifications to challenge the two strongest in Guangdong and Liaoning, but at least in this season, these two teams are still difficult to break the pattern of Guangdong and Liaoning, if there is no accident, this season is very likely to be the finals of these two teams, as for who can win the championship, it is too early to say. But what about next season, what about next season, after Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Ren Junfei, Han Dejun, Li Xiaoxu, these two teams are proud of retiring?
I believe that at that time, it is the time when the two teams in Zhejiang really rush into the first group, and the CBA will officially end the era of Guangdong and Liao hegemony and enter the era of four-country scuffle. At least for now, no team can match the comprehensive ability of the 93-03 group of players. The weakening of the cap-pay policy and foreign aid. The scuffle between these four teams will last for many seasons.
In fact, the two teams of Beijing and Shanghai, the Shandong men's basketball team and the two teams of Jiangsu have the conditions to copy the successful route of Zhejiang Shuangxiong. But all along, the Beijing and Shanghai teams seem to like to spend money to buy, and the Shandong men's basketball team was actually qualified to be as strong as Guangdong and Liaoning from the beginning of the CBA to the present, but I don't know why it is not going this way. Therefore, in the future, I am very optimistic about the two teams in Jiangsu.
And through the past two seasons, although the two teams in Jiangsu are the bottom ones, we can only say that they are weak teams, and it is difficult to classify them into bad teams. It can be seen that they all have ideas and attach great importance to team construction, and perhaps the two teams in Jiangsu now are zhejiang shuangxiong ten years ago. Ten years later, can they also be called Jiangsu Shuangxiong?
