The CBA regular season has reached its 27th round, with some teams rejoicing and others worrying. The top teams are fiercely competing for the top four and eight spots, while the mid-to-lower ranked teams are struggling for playoff positions. With the change in foreign player usage rules, the league's hierarchy has become increasingly evident. With 19 rounds remaining, the overall situation of the league is basically set, with the top 12 teams (in no particular order) already in place, while the bottom eight teams have become easy targets for points, making it extremely difficult for them to make a comeback due to their lack of strength, which is also the harsh reality of competitive sports. The top 12 teams have been positioned (regardless of order) Looking at the standings, Guangsha, Shanxi, Shandong, Beijing, Xinjiang, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Qingdao, Guangdong, Beikong, Tongxi, and Shanghai have basically secured their spots. The major powers like Guangsha will compete for the regular season championship, while Zhejiang, Qingdao, Guangdong, and Shanghai will vie for the top eight spots. Looking at the points, Tongxi is the weakest among the top 12 and the only team full of suspense. Tongxi's goal now is to maintain their playoff position, but compared to the bottom eight teams, Tongxi has a huge advantage, and securing a spot in the top 12 is almost certain.

Let's take a look: The top 12 teams have been largely decided, with eight teams likely to be eliminated early! Unlike previous years, the change in foreign player usage rules has made the league more clearly divided between strong and weak teams, with playoff spots becoming clearer. Guangsha, Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Xinjiang are currently in the top four, followed closely by Liaoning, Shandong, Beijing, and Qingdao. Meanwhile, Guangdong, Beikong, Tongxi, and Shanghai all have a win rate exceeding 50%. However, Jilin, Ningbo, Sichuan, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Jiangsu, and Fujian have seen a significant drop in their win rates, making it extremely difficult for them to make a comeback into the top 12. Jilin's Jones, Jiang Weize, and Jiang Yuxing have withdrawn due to injuries, effectively giving up on this season. The most unfortunate teams are Guangzhou and Shenzhen, who had to sell off their assets due to financial issues. Rebuilding comes at a cost, and what was once a fierce battle for playoff spots until the last round now seems like these bottom eight teams will have to wait…
