Defeating Tongxi at home, the Guangdong team temporarily ranked first in the CBA regular season standings. This is not the first time that the Guangdong team has topped the table this season, but it is not only Guangdong that has tasted the taste of "topping" the standings this season!In my impression, in addition to Guangdong, there are at least the defending champions Liaoning, Zhejiang and Guangsha, the Xinjiang team, and even Beijing!
Judging from the current situation in the standings, there is little difference between the top five points and the number of wins, indicating that the strength of the top five is also very close. The competition for the overall championship will be fierce!
And this season, there are as many as 8 teams that want to compete for the championship!Who are they?
The first place is, of course, the defending champion Liaoning. If we can successfully defend our title this season, we will be able to achieve a treble. The Liaoning team has retained the double-champion lineup, the team has a reasonable age structure, a thick squad, and experienced players, and is still the first favorite to win the championship. The impact of Guo Allen's absence was not as great as expected. As long as the inside line Han Dejun and the guard line Zhao Jiwei do not have major injuries, there is a 7% chance of winning the championship again.
The Guangdong team is considered one of the favorites to win the championship every year, especially this season when they have Zhou Qi, a big killer.
However, the lineup structure of the Guangdong team is very unreasonable, and a large number of young people in the team are very immature and can't stand the big scene. And judging from the fact that they kept Marchand, who was declining in form, and recruited the aging Weems again, it seems that they lack the enterprising spirit to compete for the championship. It seems that the financial situation of their team is still not optimistic!
If you talk about the thickness of the lineup, the Xinjiang team seems to be comparable to the Liaoning team: Abdul Salamu, Jones, Zhao Rui, Qi Lin, Wu Guanxi, Zhu Xuhang, ......There are star players in every position. Even the substitutes are powerful factions like Tang Caiyu and Huang Rongqi. The only problem is that the team is still not running in enough, and Jones and Zhao Rui have never been able to play their due power. Their better chance of winning the title may be next season.
Outside of Liaoning, who is the second favorite for the championship?Of course, it is the biggest rival of the Liaoning team in recent years. Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu are at their peak, Zhao Jiaren and Zhu Junlong have risen strongly, and they have won and lost against each other in recent years, and this season they have killed the Liaoning team twice, and both times they won by a big score.
If Guangsha can't win the championship in the past few years, the pot must be the management's: who makes the foreign aid they find every year so bad?
The Zhejiang team, who worked hard together from the youth team, made history with the Zhejiang team last year: the team reached the finals for the first time in team history - but unfortunately the ending was 0-4 and was swept.
The strength of the Zhejiang team depends on this group of players who are also at the age of **, but the time left for them is only a few years. From the perspective of strength, it is too difficult for the Zhejiang team to win the championship.
That's right, the Shenzhen team has been building for the first time since it was established for the championship. In fact, the Shenzhen team almost entered the finals last season, and it was Cheng Shuaipeng's whistle kill.
Judging from last season, the Shenzhen team does have the strength to enter the finals and compete for the championship, but it was almost lucky. They also have a chance to compete for the title this season. Now, although they are only ranked 7th for the time being, it is because He Xining, the core of the team's backfield, inexplicably experienced a low ebb in the first stage, which directly dragged down the team's record;Since the second stage, He Xining has not only regained his form, but also become more and more courageous. The Shenzhen team can be put on the agenda.
The Beijing team also wants to compete for the championship!Not only did they briefly climb the standings make them confident, but also reflected in their "change of coach at the speed of light".
Foreign coach Lydon changed the Beijing team's past "slowing the rhythm" style of play, allowing the team to play faster and pay more attention to offense, and won five consecutive games at the beginning of the season. Unfortunately, as the season deepened, the team suffered injuries, etc., and the introduction of foreign aid did not play a role, and the team's performance declined. In the end, when Lydon "voluntarily resigned", the Beijing team was 10-8. It's not a bad record, and at least it will ensure a place in the playoffs. However, the Beijing team still agreed to change the coach, and assistant coach Griciory took over. This shows that they are still not satisfied with only making the playoffs and still want to compete for the championship.
The last team to compete for the championship is the "big rich" Shanghai team in the league. Look at their investment in recent years, including many young talents in China, and continue to recruit in the offseason every year, you say they don't want to compete for the championship, so is their money blowing in the wind?
But then again, since the famous coach Li Chunjiang was forced to leave class, the Shanghai team has completely lost control over the players, and the morale is disheartened. Now they are only 9-9 and 11th. In this state, it can only be said that the money has indeed been wasted!
