With Zhao Feiyang's official return, the CBA has gradually accelerated the conclusion of the regular season.
Half a month later, the list of the top eight teams qualifying for the CBA regular season was officially released.
As fans expected, the Shougang team is still ranked first. With the support of Dwyane Wade and its own strong lineup, the Shougang team finished first in the regular season and handed over the most perfect game of the season. Transcript.
This is also the first time they have ranked first in the regular season after the previous seasons.
The last time this was done was when Stephon Marbury was here.
The Bayi team is not ranked second.
Due to the lack of combat power caused by Zhao Feiyang's departure midway through, the Bayi team missed out on second place by a slight margin. Guangdong Hongyuan Club surpassed them to take second place with one victory advantage.
This move also made many Guangdong team fans very excited. They expected the team to reverse the situation and win the Shougang team and Bayi team, which were highly anticipated by the fans.
For this reason, many Guangdong team fans also shouted their own slogans.
"A wealthy champion is not so easy to defeat!"
"The Guangdong team is always strong, while other teams are only temporary..."
"You have Wade and Zhao Feiyang, and we also have Yi Jianlian and a group of nationally renowned players. Who is afraid of whom?"
Such an attitude really highlights the momentum of the Guangdong team as a wealthy club.
Ranked third is the Bayi team.
During the period when Zhao Feiyang left, the Bayi team lost more and won less. Although there were only a few games, it still had an impact on the team's record.
Regarding this situation, Zhao Feiyang didn't care at all. Anyway, for him, any opponent could just attack directly, and he had no choice.
However, as for the Bayi team's coaching staff, Wang Zhizhi, as the coach, is still regretful that the team failed to achieve a higher ranking. It's not because you care too much about ranking, but because a higher ranking can bring you weaker opponents, which will make it easier in the first round.
The fourth-ranked team is the Liaoning team.
This result surprised many fans. The Liaoning team has been hovering around eighth place at the beginning. At that time, their performance lacked highlights and the team was not stable enough.
But who would have thought that their condition would get better and better later on, and their results would become even more impressive. When it came to the end of the regular season, the Liaoning team relied on its performance to rush to fourth place.
Of course, in addition to the fact that the Liaoning team itself performed better, it also depends on the departure of those NBA players.
The previously ranked Zhejiang team and Shandong team, without exception, all had their combat effectiveness collapsed due to the departure of super foreign aid.
Whether it is JR Smith or Norris Cole, their departure caused the team's strength to plummet in a short period of time. The lineup, which originally relied too heavily on foreign aid, was continuously adjusted in a short period of time and did not perform at a better level during the running-in process, so the drop in record was naturally expected.
Ranked fifth is the North Control team led by Stephen Marbury.
Still taking advantage of the departure of NBA players from those teams, after the strength of those teams dropped significantly, the North Control team, which was originally hovering on the edge of the playoffs, took this opportunity to beat the opponent. Although they relied too much on foreign aid, their lineup has never been better. They have been adjusting at the beginning of the season, and the overall state is naturally much better than these teams.
Therefore, the North Control team led by Stephen Marbury stabilized its ranking at the end of the regular season and seems to be heading towards the playoffs and even the finals again.
Ranking sixth is the Pearl Sharks.
In the beginning, their record reached fourth place. Relying on Jeremy Lin's outstanding performance, the Pearl Sharks once had a very bright future. Unfortunately, everything came to an end when the NBA was suspended. Without Jeremy Lin, the Sharks once fell into confusion.
They deeply reflected on themselves with three consecutive losses. At the moment when the team seemed to be on the verge of collapse, the foreign aid Haggis, who was almost abandoned by the team, cheered up and acted as a team leader to help the Sharks get back on track.
Although the record was somewhat unstable in the later stages, relying on its early performance, the team finally stopped at sixth place.
It's not that they have no room for decline, it's just that the seventh-ranked Zhejiang team and the eighth-ranked Shandong team have declined too fast.
The list of eight promoted teams is officially released.
According to the competition system, the first place will play against the eighth place, and the second place will play against the seventh place... Zhao Feiyang's Bayi team encountered the Pearl Sharks that they had defeated before.
After such rankings were determined, the CBA quickly began to build momentum for the playoffs. In order to attract more fans' attention, CBA not only placed many advertisements, but also hired NBA editors to help CBA edit some special promotional videos.
After the quality of the promotional video was improved, the official also made a lot of special topics, and even took the initiative to create characters for Zhao Feiyang, Wade and others to make the showdown between the teams appear "clearly divided". This approach made a difference in a short time. It attracted many fans.
However, this kind of publicity only allowed each promotion team to rest for three days.
Once three days are up, officials will immediately arrange for the playoffs to begin.
Someone originally proposed to reduce the number of games and slightly change the original best-of-five series. But as the chairman of the Basketball Association, Yao Ming thought twice and finally decided to continue this competition system.
After all, three wins in five games is not too much anymore. If it is reduced again, I am afraid that the playoffs will really be over before we even play much!
The team wants to shorten the season, but it can't mess around just to shorten the season.
First round of the playoffs.
In the first game of the Bayi team, they faced the Sharks at their home stadium, Younger Arena.
There was absolutely no suspense in this game. From the moment Zhao Feiyang came on the stage at the beginning of the game, the Sharks were caught in an endless pursuit of points.
Zhao Feiyang was too strong. In order to kill his opponent early, he increased the number of singles in the first two quarters, completely tormenting the Sharks like cheating.
This also works really well.
Even if the Sharks adopted double-teaming in the later stages, they still could not restrain Zhao Feiyang.
Therefore, the first game was won quickly and smoothly.
When the second game begins, the Bayi team still has the home field advantage. This time Zhao Feiyang did not start the game and chose to appear in the second quarter.
Before he came on the field, the Sharks and the Bayi team played back and forth, but after he came on the field, the Sharks were beaten mercilessly again.
Zhao Feiyang easily led the team to win again.
When the game entered the third game, the Bayi team went to Mingzhu City to challenge. Mingzhu City fans naturally hope to get back a win through the home court advantage. Unfortunately, this series was already destined to end early on, so they only needed three quarters to be defeated by Zhao Feiyang.
The series ended 3-0, and the Bayi team advanced in a sweep in the first round of the playoffs.
