It was not a particularly unexpected result that Liaoning men's basketball team met Guangdong men's basketball team in the semi-final after the playoff competition was announced. For Liaoning men's basketball team, which has lost to Guangdong men's basketball team in the finals for two consecutive seasons, the advantage of the upcoming series of 5 wins and 3 losses may really be on their side.
Compared with Liaoning men's basketball team, which locked the top spot in the regular season with 32 wins and 6 losses, Guangdong men's basketball team's record in the regular season this season is "only" 26 wins 12 losses; In addition, in the two games of this season's regular season, the Liaoning men's basketball team not only completely defeated the Guangdong men's basketball team, but also beat the Guangdong men's basketball team by 32 points in two games.
In other words, just from the performance of the two teams in the regular season, this season's Liaoning men's basketball team is indeed a more competitive team than the Guangdong men's basketball team. But for strong teams like Guangdong Men's Basketball Team and Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, the regular season and the playoffs are two completely different stages after all. It may not be appropriate for them to "mechanically copy" the performance of the playoffs with the performance of the regular season.
Take Guangdong Men's Basketball Team and Liaoning Men's Basketball Team as examples. In the face of Zhejiang men's basketball team, which ranks higher than itself in the regular season, Guangdong men's basketball team showed a completely different competitive state from the regular season. Although the first defeat of Zhejiang men's basketball team was a little regrettable, if three penalty kicks were scored at the last moment before Wu, the game would be dragged into overtime. However, in the second match between the two sides, the Zhejiang men's basketball team clearly exposed its biggest shortcoming in front of the Guangdong men's basketball team, lacking the confidence and determination of its opponents to go forward in the playoffs, and even lacking the experience to deal with the difficult situation in the playoffs.
Looking at the whole CBA, no team has more playoff experience than Guangdong men's basketball team, which also means that Liaoning men's basketball team can't make any mistakes if it wants to eliminate its opponents. The experience of Shanxi men's basketball team being beaten by such a big score will obviously not appear in Guangdong men's basketball team.
Guangdong men's basketball team or Liaoning men's basketball team? Liaoning men's basketball team does have certain advantages, but it must not be taken lightly, because if Guangdong men's basketball team finally advances to the finals, it will not be surprising and pleasant. This actually proves the fact that the semi-final contest between Liaoning men's basketball team and Guangdong men's basketball team will definitely be the most anticipated and comparable showdown in the CBA playoffs this season.
