The CBA has completed 15 rounds, and the rankings of the teams have deviated somewhat from the predictions at the beginning of the season, as if they have gone from a vegetable market to a palace.
Among the strong teams, Beijing BAIC, Xinjiang Yilite, Liaoning Bensteel, and Zhejiang Guangsha were favored at the start of the season. The top four positions are almost like an old brand account, which is indeed not surprising. Guangdong's ranking and team strength are about the same because Zhou Qi went to Beijing, and it can be said that they are "deservedly famous"! Shanghai Jiu Shi, Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu, and Beijing Holdings are really far off the mark, especially Shanghai, where it's hard to even find a victory, resulting in the first team to fire their coach! It's no surprise that these eight teams made it into the top eight, as almost all fans silently guessed in their hearts.
Speaking of mid-table teams, Shanxi is seen by many as the most likely to make a comeback, and it seems that this dark horse's strength is quite reliable. Shandong's ranking is really unexpected, the strengthening during the break is confusing, but now it seems that under the leadership of Qiu Biao, Shandong is still interesting. Qingdao's performance is as we expected, but Shenzhen is disappointing. Although they lost Shen Zijie and Salinge, the overall domestic team is still there, the only thing missing is Wu Zihan, who broke his leg while warming up with Guangdong. Tianjin and Nanjing are still stuck in the playoff zone.
As for the less impressive teams, Guangzhou Long Lions, Sichuan Fenggu Liquor, and Ningbo Dingwo have surprisingly performed well, and Han Shuo, Michael, and Cameron can still make some moves.
Hey, which teams will sneak into the top four in the new season and eventually make it to the finals?
Personally, I think the current top four teams will definitely make it to the end! It's hard to say who will win the championship, as all four teams have a chance to lift the trophy.
Beijing BAIC, led by veteran coach Xu Limin, has had an incredible start recently, especially in the absence of Zhou Qi, making them a hot favorite to win the title!
Xinjiang Yilite, under the leadership of young coach Liu Wei, has solid strength, and at first glance, their competitiveness is good! However, their lack of playoff experience may cause them to stumble on a higher stage!
Zhejiang Guangsha's problem is still with the bench, although the foreign aid policy has improved a bit, and they have brought in Lin Bingcheng as point guard, but the bench is still in a hurry!
For Liaoning Bensteel, today is perhaps their last chance to win the men's basketball championship, as apart from Han Dejun, the other young players like Zhang Chengzhi Feng and Liu Yanyu have not yet fully emerged. By the end of this season, Han Dejun will be 39 years old, Li Xiaoxu's pace is getting slower and slower, Fu Hao's offense is still okay, but his defense is still lacking a bit of fire.
For other teams, it's probably harder than catching lightning in the sky to touch the edge of the championship this season!
Shanxi has a chance to reach the semi-finals this year, but when it comes to experience and heritage, the road to winning the championship is really thorny!
Beijing Holdings, once seen as the big brother, now seems to have a long way to go!
Chouzhou Gold Rental is like playing a dance machine, Wang Shilong is almost cramping from jumping, the bottleneck is almost shaking hands with him, and it's harder than going to heaven to break through!
