The CBA regular season has already gone through 33 rounds, and it's only now that we realize that the original 46 rounds of the regular season are not many, and in the blink of an eye, it's about to come to an end. Looking at the standings, the top 12 teams are fiercely competing for playoff positions, and the moves to strengthen the team through recruitment never stop.
Analyzing the head coach configuration of the top 12 teams, we find that the strength, experience, ability, and character of the post-80s head coaches will directly determine the key to each team's fight for the playoffs this season! Since there are so many post-80s head coaches, it can be said that the performance of the post-80s head coaches will directly determine the trend of the playoffs this season.
First Tier: Qiubiao, with good results and experience
Shandong Men's Basketball Team is currently ranked second in the league with 23 wins and 10 losses, which is the best ranking in team history and also the highest ranking of Shandong Team this season. At the same time, Shandong Team is not the first time to rank in this position this season.
Qiubiao has brought Shandong Team to this position, which many people did not expect! This shows the level of Qiubiao, and if we consider that he led Xinjiang to the finals last season, then his ranking in the first tier should not be controversial.
Second Tier: Wang Bo, Liu Weiwei, with verified strength
Liu Weiwei is the oldest post-80s head coach in the CBA, and his strength has been tested the longest by the CBA, so his strength is widely recognized and does not need to be doubted. Liu Weiwei's Qingdao team is currently ranked 6th, with improved results compared to last season, and the players he coached, Yang Hanshen and Duan Angjun, have made progress. Whether he can move up a tier depends on Qingdao Team's performance in the playoffs this season.
Wang Bo is already an old and experienced post-80s head coach in the CBA. His task is the heaviest! According to Guangsha's goal this season, they must win the championship. This is quite a challenge for him.
Third Tier: Pan Jiang, Liu Wei, young coaches stepping up
Some people may be born to be head coaches. For example, Liu Wei and Pan Jiang. Pan Jiang may be the second young coach in the CBA, besides Yang Ming, who can compete for the championship as soon as he starts coaching! Pan Jiang coaches Shanxi with passion, ideas, achievements, and rankings, and the external conditions are also good, with big investment from the club. It remains to be seen how far they can go in the playoffs.
Liu Wei's situation is even more special. His first time as head coach was with Xinjiang Team, a super-strong team in the league, and he did very well. It is not easy to lead the team without losing form under adverse circumstances with many injuries.
The special situation of Pan Jiang and Liu Wei lies in the fact that the playoffs belong to a new track and need to be tested this season.
Fourth Tier: Zhou Peng, Yi Li, Zhang Qingpeng, training type
The fourth-tier head coaches are training types, where both the team and the head coach are being trained. There is no need to say more; everything needs to be tested by practice, which is not easy.
Mysterious and Undecided: Lu Wei, Yang Ming
Lu Wei's mystery lies in the direction of Shanghai Team, and actually, the situation of him coaching Shanghai is not that clear; Yang Ming is undecided because Liaoning Team, as the defending champion, puts immense pressure on Yang Ming! As a three-time championship coach, his difficulty lies in having no room for maneuver in terms of results.
