Tomorrow the new CBA season will start, and there will be four games on the first day: Jilin vs Tongxi, Qingdao vs Sichuan, Beikong vs Shandong, Guangdong vs Shenzhen.
The new season was a shrink season, with the regular season shortened from 56 to 38 rounds. Therefore, every game is more crucial, and it is about the final ranking of the record. The first stage was played from October 16 to November 14, with a total of 13 rounds.
Most of the club teams will play in the first stage with the all-Chinese class, including the traditional giants Guangdong and Liaoning.
Among them, the Liaoning men's basketball team will be in adversity in the new season, after all, in addition to no foreign aid, their main rotation personnel have begun to be stretched.
The biggest problem in the team is injury! Wu Changze and Liu Zhixuan both missed the National Games due to palm fractures and have not yet returned; Guo Allen played an all-around statistic of 26 points, 4.6 boards and 4.2 assists in the National Games, but his old injuries recurred due to continuous battles.
Fortunately, in the first stage of the journey, the Liaoning team faced only Zhejiang Guangsha and Xinjiang, which lacked Zhou Qi, and the schedule was relatively stable, giving the main players a lot of time to recuperate.
In the coming month, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin and Dahan will carry the banner of the team's progress.
In particular, Zhang Zhenlin, an offensive and defensive tipman, has been in a very hot state since the preseason. Yesterday, he also opened a strong dialogue with Guo Haowen.
In Zhang Zhenlin's single defense against Guo Haowen's round, the latter's change of direction was directly recognized and taken away by Zhang Zhenlin, and he completed a one-handed battle axe dunk under the basket, which also caused Guo Haowen's foul, and the entire offensive and defensive conversion was really a one-shot!
After the lack of Guo Allen, Zhang Zhenlin's tactical position has developed a bit towards an organizational striker, making up for the shortcomings of the team's pass control.
Yesterday, he played only 25 minutes, 6 of 11 shots, bombarded the team with eye-catching data of 18 points, 3 boards, 8 assists and 6 breaks, and also contributed wonderful dunks many times.
Can suddenly pass can break the buckle, it can be seen that Zhang Zhenlin did not stay in the stadium in the offseason.
However, no matter how strong the momentum of the Liaoning team here, we must also beware of the defending champion Guangdong team next door.
Although it is also the first stage of the all-Chinese class, the Guangdong team is not only unharmed, but also the comprehensive strength has risen a notch, because the big brother Yi Jianlian is back!
The brother of the men's basketball team can be regarded as out of the haze of Achilles tendon rupture, and after a full year of rest, Yi Jianlian's state is still online.
In the first game after returning from injury, he played 16 minutes, shooting 3 of 11, shooting 2 of 3 from three-point range, 6 of 8 free throws, and scoring a team-high 14 points plus 6 boards and 1 assist.
Played 14 minutes in the second game, shooting 6-of-10, including 1-of-2 three-pointers, and scoring 15 points, 5 boards, 1 assist and 1 break.
With the UAE League sitting on the inside line, the Guangdong team will be much more solid, not like last season, Shang Su Wei has to think left and right, afraid of falling into the foul problem early, so that the center is not available.
In the first stage, Du's coaching should limit his playing time, and after he gradually adapts to the intensity of the game, the playing time will slowly increase. One can protect the UAE League, which has declined physical function; the other can also store up power for the playoffs.
By the way, Guangdong's foreign aid in the new season is still Weems and Ma Shang. The two foreign aides are working on a contract extension, Wiems is expected to play in the second phase, and Max is waiting until around January next year (the situation is optimistic that he will be able to play by the end of the year).
Like the UAE injury, Marchand's recovery from a serious injury has always been a top concern for fans.
In the regular season match between Guangdong and Zhejiang on March 29 this year, he was injured without confrontation and was confirmed to have broken Achilles tendon the next day, and the season was reimbursed.
It has been more than half a year since the injury.
Coincidentally, in the early hours of this morning, Master Ma also updated the social media and released a video in which he received a pass from a friend to complete the dunk in the air relay, with the text: "6 months".
It can be seen that After about half a year of treatment and rehabilitation, Ma Shang recovered quite well, but because it was a serious injury caused by the rupture of the Achilles tendon, Ma Shang still needed a period of rest to return to the field.
The new season is about to rekindle the war, all the soldiers and horses are waiting in a strict position, this time will be the comeback of Liaoning, or the lonely Guangdong? Or Shanghai, Shandong, Jilin, Zhejiang and other teams that incarnated as giant killers?
What do you think!?
