The latest CBA standings have been released, with Qingdao defeating Liaoning twice to climb to second place, while Shanxi falls to fourth and Guangdong rises to seventh. In the 30th round of the CBA regular season, teams such as Guangdong, Liaoning, and Xinjiang took the lead in playing four games. Liaoning, who once led by 13 points, was reversed by Qingdao and ultimately lost away from home. With this thrilling victory, Qingdao successfully defeated Liaoning twice and rose to second in the standings. The defending champion Liaoning continues to rank third, while Guangdong, after a narrow home win against Beikong, not only narrowly escaped but also successfully climbed to seventh in the standings, just one win behind Qingdao in second place.
Currently, on the CBA standings, Guangsha's position is relatively stable, with a record of 25 wins and 4 losses, ranking first. Qingdao's thrilling victory over Liaoning in this round made them the seventh team this season to reach 20 wins, with a record of 20 wins and 10 losses, rising to second place. This can be considered another dark horse of the CBA this season. They are also the second team after Beijing to defeat the defending champion Liaoning twice. Although Liaoning lost, they still ranked third. Shanxi dropped from second to fourth in the standings.
Xinjiang, although also upset in this round, losing to Tongxi, their ranking is still good, with a record of 20 wins and 9 losses, temporarily ranking fifth. Sixth place belongs to Shandong, whose record is the same as Xinjiang's, also 20 wins and 9 losses. Guangdong, the 11-time champion, defeated Beikong in this round, with a record of 19 wins and 11 losses, directly rising to seventh in the standings, while Zhejiang dropped to eighth.
Ninth place on the standings belongs to Beijing, with a current record of 19 wins and 9 losses. Due to playing two fewer games, Beijing is slightly disadvantaged in the rankings. However, with the resurgence of teams like Qingdao, Guangdong, and Zhejiang, if Beijing does not make timely adjustments, they are very likely to be left behind by these teams in the future. After winning this game, Tongxi's record became 15 wins and 15 losses, with a win rate of exactly half, ranking tenth. Eleventh on the standings belongs to Shanghai, who, after defeating Jiangsu, has won 16 consecutive victories, which is also the longest winning streak this season, with 17 wins and 10 losses, sitting in eleventh place, while Beikong dropped to twelfth, becoming the gatekeeper for the playoffs.
Teams hovering around the edge of the playoffs, Jilin was originally in the best position, but recently they have suffered consecutive losses, with a record of 10 wins and 19 losses, already five wins behind Beikong, and it seems unlikely that they will be able to catch up to the top 12, especially without Jones, their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. Shenzhen, Ningbo, Tianjin, and Sichuan, although these teams still have hopes of making the playoffs, in reality, there is little hope. As for Jiangsu and Fujian, they have completely given up.
