On January 31, the second stage of the CBA regular season competition continued in Zhuji, Zhejiang. The Liaoning and Guangdong teams, which ranked the top two in the standings, continued their good form. The former defeated the Shanghai team 117-95 and won 11 consecutive victories, while the latter defeated the Jiangsu team 120-98 and achieved 10 consecutive victories.

In the standings, the Liaoning team ranked first with a record of 32 wins and 3 losses, followed by the Guangdong team with a record of 31 wins and 4 losses. In the next round, the Guangdong and Liaoning teams will have a direct dialogue. This is also the first matchup between the two teams this season.

As the opponents of last season’s finals, the Guangdong team and the Liaoning team both performed very well this season. Although the Guangdong team lacks the main player Yi Jianlian and lacks internal strength, under the tactics of the coach Du Feng insisting on the rotation, the Guangdong team who often uses “five ups and five downs” are all soldiers, using non-stop defense and rushing. Make up for the team’s lack of height. In addition, Zeng Fanri has made considerable progress this season, providing the team with a certain amount of inside protection.

In the Guangdong team’s victory over Jiangsu team last night, a total of 6 people from Guangdong team scored in double figures. All players played less than 28 minutes. The defending champion who insisted on rotation once again won the game in the most economical way. . Facing the Jiangsu team with Wu Guanxi inside, the Guangdong team did not suffer from rebound protection. Hu Mingxuan, a defender, grabbed 8 rebounds, which fully reflects the hard work of the Guangdong team in rushing for rebounds. Ari even got a dunk against Wu Guanxi’s defense, which shows that his confidence has improved significantly.

The Liaoning team won even more easily. In the face of the recent poor Shanghai team, the Liaoning team’s starting five scored all in double figures. Three of them scored more than 20 points and finally won a 22-point victory. Compared with the Guangdong team, the Liaoning team’s inside advantage is quite obvious. The role of Han Dejun is beyond doubt. He has averaged a double-double of 16.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game so far this season, and the performance of backup center Zhu Rongzhen has also become more impressive.

More importantly, the Liaoning team found their best candidate for the striker position. So far this season, rookie Zhang Zhenlin’s performance is impressive. Not only does he have an explosive physical fitness, but his shooting and autonomous finishing ability are also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. In his debut season, Zhang Zhenlin averaged double figures per game and has become an indispensable part of the Liaoning team. In the finals of last season, the striker of the Liaoning team became their obvious shortcoming, and now they have found a puzzle to fill this shortcoming.

On Wednesday, the two teams that have performed best this season will have a peak matchup. For the two teams aiming to rush to the championship, this is not just a game that determines the second stage ranking. Who can win in this game will have more psychological advantages in the next game.
