Not Liaoning! Not Shougang! The Biggest Favorite for the CBA Championship, Zhejiang's Two Strong Teams Could Sweep 20 Teams in the Title Race
The CBA regular season has quietly reached its 23rd round, and the halfway point of the season seems to have set the general situation. The second break is about to arrive, and the season will enter the second half.
Looking at the current standings, Zhejiang Guangsha and Zhejiang Chouzhou Gold Rental have taken a strong lead, occupying the top two positions. Their form is simply soaring to the sky, performing much better than many people expected.
Even some seasoned insiders jokingly say that the championship race looks like an internal competition within Zhejiang right now, with other teams just watching from the sidelines.
Don't forget, although the two Zhejiang teams are currently in the limelight, this is not the first time they have been in a favorable position.
In previous years, although they often hung around the finals, they always lacked that little bit of luck, or injuries, or a sudden collapse in foreign aid form, always falling short of the championship.
To be honest, last season alone, the two Zhejiang teams fought hard, but due to injury factors, they were never able to break through.
Think about it then, fans were all holding their breath, watching the final few rounds of games, silently praying that there would be no more injuries!
Looking back, the Zhejiang teams have obviously learned from their mistakes so far this season.
This year, they have not only adopted a more scientific rotation strategy to deal with injuries, but also put in a lot of effort in terms of lineup matching to avoid excessive fatigue in a single lineup.
One of the key factors here, of course, is the change in the foreign aid rules.
This change was a godsend for the two Zhejiang teams, allowing them to introduce foreign aid more reasonably, significantly enhancing the team's overall competitiveness.
Especially Zhejiang Chouzhou Gold Rental, their foreign aid combination is simply perfect, capable of both offense and defense, providing strong support on both ends of the court.
Honestly, after this change came out, the whole CBA situation became unpredictable, the seemingly stable championship race camp was disrupted, and everyone had to re-evaluate the championship potential of the Zhejiang teams.
Some netizens commented: The adjustment of the foreign aid policy is tailor-made for the two Zhejiang teams, especially Chouzhou Gold Rental. Looking at the performance of their foreign aid, it must be said that such an adjustment has indeed made them more competitive.
That's right, Chouzhou Gold Rental's foreign aid has indeed given the team a powerful boost, even directly determining the direction of some key games in some cases.
Guangsha is not bad either, their foreign aid not only played a core role in the offensive end, but also played an important role in the defensive end.
The reasonable allocation of foreign aid is indeed a key factor in the outstanding performance of the two teams.
Of course, despite the enhancing effect of foreign aid, whether they can win the championship ultimately still depends on the ranking of the top four in the regular season.
Historically, almost all CBA champions have come from the top four teams in the regular season. The goal of the two Zhejiang teams is naturally to maintain their good position in the top four and strive for a more advantageous ranking in the playoffs.
If they can stabilize their position in the top four, then in the playoffs, relying on the depth of these two teams' lineups and foreign aid combinations, almost no team can defend against them steadily.
In this season, many opponents cannot match the balance of foreign aid and lineup depth shown by the two Zhejiang teams.
Some netizens also shared their views: Looking at the state of these two Zhejiang teams, it feels like they have already reserved their place in the top four.
Even if other teams try their best, what can they snatch from their hands? That's a big question mark.
The overall strength of Zhejiang Guangsha and Zhejiang Chouzhou Gold Rental makes it almost impossible for other teams to overtake or surpass them in the remaining schedule of the regular season.
The prospects of the CBA market are also one of the focuses of attention.
If these two Zhejiang teams can break through the bottleneck of the finals and finally win the championship, it will play a huge role in promoting the development of the CBA market and audience enthusiasm.
The performance of the two Zhejiang teams has attracted a lot of attention, and the birth of the champion will mean that the CBA has truly entered a new stage.
Not only Zhejiang fans, but even fans from other regions will be attracted by the rise of Zhejiang teams, greatly increasing market activity.
Although the current CBA matches have not yet ended completely, judging from the performance of the two Zhejiang teams, they are already the biggest favorites to win the championship.
If the two teams can continue their current competitive form, they will definitely be the strongest competitors in the playoffs.
Looking at their strength and lineup depth, it is really difficult for the other 20 teams to shake their status.
In CBA history, we will see a brand-new champion team. Whether the double heroes of Zhejiang can become this historic championship team, the second half of the season will give us the answer.
Some netizens expressed in the comment area: If these two Zhejiang teams can really win this championship, it can be said that the CBA has ushered in a new era.
Zhejiang, which has been struggling on the fringes, finally has the opportunity to reach the top. This is not an ordinary story, and I sincerely look forward to their performance.
