The Biggest Contenders for the Championship: Zhejiang Guangsha
Guangsha's success or failure in winning the championship hinges on Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu! Due to injuries sustained by Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu, Guangsha has missed out on good opportunities for several seasons! Guangsha's system is built around these two domestic players, with both inside and outside offensive and defensive cores centered around them. However, without either of them, the entire team struggles to perform! Currently, Guangsha should prioritize how to protect Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui, as their health is crucial for a genuine assault on the championship!

Finding a matching big foreign player could resolve many issues!

The Dark Horse of This Season: Shanxi Fenjiu
The biggest weakness Shanxi Men's Basketball faces in the playoffs is their domestic player configuration! Shanxi's domestic players have indeed been tenacious and resilient this season, having won against most of the league's strong teams! However, what truly makes Shanxi a dark horse in the league is still the strong performance of high-level foreign players! The energy provided by domestic players remains largely supportive, and now the top scorers Zhang Ning and Yuan Shuai have very obvious weaknesses, making them easy targets in playoff series! The performance of domestic players in the playoffs will determine how far they can go!

A Traditional Powerhouse with a History: Guangdong Hongyuan
Guangdong Hongyuan is no longer as strong as it once was! Among domestic players, only Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan are truly noteworthy! Currently, Guangdong Hongyuan's big foreign player is considered high-end, but the shortcoming of the small foreign player remains unaddressed! The pressure is on the team's general manager Zhu Fangyu, and whether they can enter the championship race depends decisively on when the small foreign player can be strengthened!

A Strong Team with a Top Domestic Lineup This Season: Beijing Beiqi
Beijing Men's Basketball now holds a hand of good cards! But how to play them is still unclear! Coach Xu Limin does an excellent job in building the players' mindset, but his tactics and strategies are indeed questionable! Beijing Men's Basketball has double configurations from position 1 to 5 with top domestic players in the league! However, in many games, it's like hitting cotton with a fist, and the high-frequency rotation of players leaves everyone dizzy, resulting in a lack of an absolute core in critical moments and decisive quarters!

Last Season's League Runner-up Team: Xinjiang Guanghui
Xinjiang Men's Basketball originally had a high-quality lineup of domestic players this season and produced several outstanding young players! Combined with three high-level foreign players, the entire lineup appears almost perfect! Unfortunately, Xinjiang Men's Basketball has faced some injury concerns! Wu Guanxi, Zhu Xuhang, and Zhao Rui, who has been playing intermittently, all bring a sense of regret! Coach Liu Wei has performed moderately well so far, but being a newcomer, it's crucial to see if he will pay the price for this in the playoffs!

Zhejiang Chouzhou
Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank's foreign players are quite fierce this season! However, the domestic players have somewhat reduced roles overall! Zhejiang's offensive and defensive system continues the past style of running and bombing, but they haven't been able to sustain it until the end. This season, the team's style hasn't changed, but the main characters' abilities have improved! Whether they can change the disappointing situation of previous years in the playoffs is entirely dependent on these few foreign players!

Shandong Expressway
Shandong Men's Basketball's defense is absolutely top-tier in the league this season! The problem they often face now is insufficient offensive firepower! How to solve the issue of the team's offensive firepower is indeed a significant challenge! Gao Shiyan, Yu Dehao, including Chen Peidong, are all unpredictable players, and once they miss their mark, the domestic offense collapses! Maintaining the stability of offensive firepower is currently the first challenge for head coach Qiu Biao!

Shanghai Jiushi
Shanghai Men's Basketball started the season with a ten-game losing streak, falling to the bottom of the league, and now they have eleven consecutive wins to return to the playoff teams! They are undoubtedly the most dramatic team this season! Such ups and downs really leave everyone puzzled! Is it because of the difference in coaching between head coaches Liu Peng and Lu Wei? Or is it the personal ability of foreign player Lofton? In fact, neither is the case; Shanghai's problem is simply a matter of "money"! Money can bring all the players together, but it can also create discord! How far they can go completely depends on their "superpowers"!
