The CBA rematch is imminent.
China News Client, Beijing, June 20 (Li He) 151 days after the last whistle of the last CBA match, the "fully-armed" CBA league will re-appear on the 20th-CBA with the first rematch "Halo" is about to officially appear in front of fans today.
Outside the field, in order to create conditions sufficient to resume the game under the influence of the epidemic, the CBA management led by Yao Ming has made arrangements for the schedule and the epidemic prevention system after the rematch. On the field, players and coaches will also be in Sprint for the champion in the new format and environment.
There is no doubt that this is not easy, and as Yao Ming said earlier, the work has just begun. To apply the popular variety show, Yao Ming and his brothers will stage a basketball version of "Ride the Wind and Waves" in Qingdao and Dongguan. At that time, the CBA league will go up and down, and everything on and off the court is worthy of a careful taste by all those who care about Chinese sports, including basketball fans.

Foreign aid "withdrawal"
The restarted CBA, the schedule system has been adjusted: the game has become a match system, starting in Dongguan and Qingdao; foreign aid is affected by the epidemic of each country, most of them cannot return to the team, which also makes 11 of the league’s 20 teams choose The All-Chinese class played; and in the compressed schedule, the first two rounds of the playoffs will determine the final promotion in the form of a single defeat elimination system.
All this makes the reopened CBA league enter a new competitive mode.
The arrangement of fixed-location games allows most teams to no longer have home advantage or away from home battles. At the same time, there is no audience that can mobilize the home team's emotions and momentum, which makes the teams stand at a more parallel new starting point. .
In addition, I have to admit that foreign aid still plays an important role in today's CBA league and has a decisive impact on the strength of each team.

Frankly speaking, in the past few seasons, the strength of foreign aid determines the lower limit of a team, and the ability of domestic players will define the upper limit of the team. In the case where most teams give up foreign aid, the league strength list will be reshuffled. At the same time, some of the teams that still have foreign aid configuration are "flattening up" in the new environment.
Under such circumstances, each team has enough time and room to "turn over", and it is also possible to "overturn". Whoever wins or loses in the new competition is worth looking forward to.
For domestic players, the CBA game after the rematch will be a broader stage, but it will also face more intense competition. Who can seize the performance space left by the absence of foreign aid is a blockbuster, breaking out on a wider stage, this is also worthy of attention.

Suspense
Various uncertainties also brought more suspense to the CBA match after the rematch.
The fixed-point tournament system means that apart from the Guangdong and Qingdao teams, the remaining 18 teams will have no difference between home and away. In other words, only the Guangdong team and the Qingdao team will play in their home games. Although there is no support from fans on the spot, it is enough to be regarded as a "plus point" in the hands of the two teams.
In particular, the Guangdong team, as the leaders of the league, they have accumulated enough advantages in the season's prospects, and the home advantage also makes the championship suspense lean to them.

But Brooks failed to return to the team on time, the Guangdong team only left a single foreign aid, which may be their only door. In such a comparison, the Beijing Shuangxiong, each with dual foreign aid, may be able to challenge the Guangdong team; the possible chemical reaction of the all-China team and the restrictions on the foreign aid of the Guangdong team against them will make the game Suspense.
In the playoffs, all teams will be concentrated in one city to compete. This also makes the "home advantage" of the playoffs originally brought by the rankings more blurred.
In addition, the first two rounds of the playoffs will be decided by the single defeat elimination, the semi-finals and finals will be "simplified", taking 5 wins and 3 wins. All this makes the final competition more variable.
Therefore, even if the Guangdong team is alone in the league, the CBA league will still usher in the most suspenseful season in recent years.

Yao Ming "Playing"
Outside of the competition, the anti-epidemic plan set by Chairman Yao and his team for the CBA rematch was also noticeable.
Two days before the start of the season, Yao Ming showed up again for an interview, talking about the reasons for the CBA rematch, he explained: "Everyone feels unfair to the women's basketball team, especially the women's basketball team has achieved such a good result. But inside There are many practical problems-the first icebreaker is the most difficult, requires a lot of energy, can not be rolled out, you must make choices. The Basketball Association uses the recovery of the CBA league to determine that our plan is implementable, we must do one The choice is also for the future of WCBA and NBL."

The implication is that CBA is not only an experiment to resume the game in the epidemic, but also a benchmark. Therefore, in every move of the CBA League, the setting and effect of each epidemic prevention measure will be carefully scrutinized by the outside world under a magnifying glass.
In the already announced plan, the CBA League will adopt zoning and sub-certification measures. At that time, the stadium will be divided into three areas: green, yellow, and blue. Persons who pass nucleic acid detection will enter the corresponding areas: the green area is used to accommodate players, referees, coaches and other directly related personnel; the yellow area is used to accommodate caddies, etc. League guarantee personnel; the blue zone is used to accommodate the event broadcasters. The three areas are closed to each other to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
At the same time, CBA will implement the "3+N" nucleic acid detection mode, that is, all relevant personnel of the competition will receive 3 nucleic acid tests according to the regulations before the rematch, and every 10 days after the rematch.
Once an emergency occurs during the game, the CBA League will take measures based on the opinions of the experts of the local CDC.
Yao Ming once again "attacked" the Chinese basketball team.
In a letter from Yao Ming to CBA participants, there is a saying, "As the first national large-scale sports event to be restarted in China, the CBA rematch is of strategic significance for the comprehensive promotion of resumption of production and restoration of life and order of life. The social impact goes beyond basketball itself."
As Yao Ming said, the significance of the CBA rematch is far more than the recovery game itself. In difficulties, he once again led the team to play, fighting for Chinese basketball, fighting for Chinese sports.
Let us cheer for him, cheer for CBA, cheer for Chinese sports. (Finish)
