The CBA league has been in the league for 30 years, as the saying goes, thirty years later.

It's no exaggeration to say that this year is the most competitive year I've ever watched the league.

So to give everyone a preview, this year's CBA playoffs, it will be very good.

The core element of a good league is competition.

Our Women's Basketball League Finals are about to start, do you care? Very little.

It's not just that the women's basketball team itself has little attention, it's that you don't pay attention to a game where you know the championship from the beginning of the season...

The uncertainty of competitive sports is its charm.

CBA this year, it's too lively.

It was only in the final round of the regular season last night that the final ranking was determined.

I haven't seen such a fierce closing qualifying stage for so many years, and the 3-10 rankings are a mess.

Especially the ball between Liaoning and Shandong, there are too many things involved... Winning or losing can confuse you.

In the end, Liaoning showed the heritage, ability, and self-confidence of the championship, and successfully entered the top four, which can play one less round.

However, it is in the same half as the regular season champion Guangsha.

And Shandong, which lost, faced Beikong, and they could accept this opponent.

In the last two months, many friends have asked me to predict this year's CBA champion.

From a personal point of view, I would like to see the new king in power, and in the past few years, it has been either Guangdong or Liaoning, and there is some visual fatigue.

In the 30 years of the league, there are only 7 championship teams.

But to be honest, it's really hard to predict this year, it's all about the same, it depends on the playoff performance.

Guangsha looks the strongest, but they have Sun Minghui's injury concerns, and after so many years, they are not the first time they have been strong in the regular season.

Shanxi, this season to find 11 foreign aid, don't look at the second, but whether it is against Guangdong or Shanghai, it is a difficult opponent.

Beijing, how is Zhou Qi's injury situation? What kind of offensive level can this team show in the playoffs?

Liaoning, although it was still the champion before the championship fell, this season is not so stable, and it has stumbled.

Xinjiang, last season's runners-up team, brought in Harrell.

Shandong, Qiu Biao has changed this team, and compared to last season, there is a huge improvement.

Guangdong, the old powerhouse was beaten to 7th, but it will be a difficult opponent.

Qingdao, the youth army, the biggest focus is Yang Hansen.

Zhejiang, a tough team, and a single point of small foreign aid York, is quite explosive.

Shanghai, needless to say, Lofton.

Beikong, which has undergone a change of coach, is a team with a lot of internal reserves.

Nanjing, the youth army that created the history of the team, is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot.

Liaoning, Guangsha, Beijing, Shanxi, Guangdong, Shanghai, these teams, you will not be surprised who wins the championship.

Last night's matchup was released, and I saw that many Guangdong fans felt that they were playing in Shanghai, but in fact, you went to ask Shanghai fans, do they want to face Guangdong...

This year, it's hard to fight.

Why has the competitive landscape of the league changed so much this year?

The most important element is the change in foreign aid policy.

The policy of registering a maximum of 4 foreign players in four quarters this season (the actual use is 7 in four quarters) has greatly improved the flexibility of the team's lineup adjustment.

The clubs have registered more than 100 foreign aids, including 11 in Shanxi...

In the past, foreign aid did not play well, foreign aid threw big names, foreign aid did not work, and the club could only swallow its anger.

What about this year? If you don't play well, you can get out, and your salary can be settled monthly.

Foreign aid also needs to compete for posts.

Why can Shanghai turn over?

Is it true that Lu Wei is much stronger than Liu Peng?

There are factors for the head coach to adjust, but the most important thing is that Chubby is too powerful...

Yesterday, a big brother asked a good question, which roughly means: Is the CBA league so fierce and so lively?

My answer: More competition can be seen as an improvement in the league. However, this does not represent the progress of the Chinese men's basketball team.

The reason is simple, you just look at the score leaderboard.

Don't blame everything on a change in foreign aid policy.

If we have athletes of the level of Yi Jianlian and Ding Yanyuhang, will single foreign aid or double foreign aid hinder them?

They are "foreign aid".

If there is no competition for two foreign aids, then your own level is limited.

The World Cup, what needs to be faced is five foreign aid...
