　　The client of Chinanews.com, Beijing, July 5 (Li He) On the evening of the 4th, after the overtime battle between Shandong and Shenzhen, the first stage of the CBA rematch was officially closed. Although this is just two weeks after the CBA rematch, there are still two months of competition time, but as the first professional league to play in China, the two weeks of the first phase of the CBA rematch are worthy of careful scrutiny.

Anti-epidemic measures as a model

　　In the rematch after the epidemic, the first concern must be the anti-epidemic measures inside and outside the stadium.

　　Judging from the field epidemic prevention measures only, the regional epidemic prevention measures formulated by the CBA have been relatively perfect. The competition venue is divided into three areas: green, yellow, and blue: the green area is the core personnel of the competition, such as athletes, coaches, and referees; the yellow area and the blue area are the personnel for broadcast, work, security, and service of the event. All sub-districts are kept independent, and cross-region contact is prohibited.

　　It is worth mentioning that in the first stage of the competition, not only the pre-match anti-epidemic measures were perfect, but the implementation of the anti-epidemic system during the game was also very strict. Close contact with personnel holding yellow documents, and was punished with a fine of 10,000 yuan and three suspensions.

　　Coincidentally, Guo Ailun also received a written warning from CBA because he did not wear a mask when he said goodbye to team coach and "old uncle" Guo Shiqiang.

　　Now that the start date of the Chinese Super League has been set, the anti-epidemic measures in its competition, although not to mention "copying", will certainly be based on the CBA league. Zhong Nanshan also said during the live viewing of the penultimate game day of the first stage that the CBA's anti-epidemic measures will become a model for the Chinese Super League and other leagues. The anti-epidemic program implemented by the CBA in the first stage of the match after the rematch can be said to be a more impressive part than the match.

The whole class brings new perspectives

　　Perfect anti-epidemic measures do not mean boring on the field. On the contrary, the uncertainties brought about by various changes after the quarter-finals have made the clashes on the court and the big changes in the standings more noticeable.

　　The biggest concern in the first stage was naturally the long-lost all-Chinese class. Of the 20 teams, as many as 11 have given up foreign aid and chose to play for the All-Chinese team. This is a sight that has not been seen in the CBA, which has seen a surge in foreign aid.

　　In this context, there are national players such as Wu Qian and Wang Zhelin leading the team, as well as young people such as Zhu Xuhang and Yuan Tangwen seizing the opportunity to take the position. In addition to them, Ren Junwei, Wu Guanxi, Li Yuanyu and other Mesozoic players also played unexpected performances. It might have been the "second choice" for the Chinese class, but it made the game more interesting.

　　All kinds of signs make people look forward to the second stage game and even the playoffs. After all, the local player's "ownership" scene has not been seen in the CBA playoffs for a long time.

　　Speaking of the most dazzling domestic players in the first stage, I am afraid that not many people will use Sun Minghui's name as an answer before the game starts. However, in the first stage, he seized the space and ball rights left by foreign aid, and played the performance of the top domestic players. People can't help but look at him, looking forward to whether he can continue the state, and also look forward to whether someone will "risk" like him in the next game.

Playoffs to meet the decisive victory

　　The end of the first stage of the game also means that for most teams, there are only 8 games left until the end of the regular season. The playoffs are just around the corner. However, the difference is that in the ranking of the final stage of the first stage, it seems that the more intense card battle will happen in the top half of the standings.

　　At present, in addition to Guangdong and Xinjiang are still in the top two positions in the league, the third to eighth place in the standings have changed.

　　Although Beijing Shougang and Beijing Beikong have two teams with double foreign aid, although they did not take advantage of the advantages of foreign aid as expected, they always get more or less in the ranking.

　　Shougang climbed to the third position in the league on the closing day of the first stage. Although Beijing Enterprises kept in the fifth place, it also obtained the postseason qualification in advance, becoming the third branch to lock in the postseason after Guangdong and Xinjiang. Teams with match seats.

　　Guangsha, which had long ranked third in the standings after the quarter-finals, fell to fourth after losing to Zhejiang on the last match day of the first stage. But despite the rankings, in fact, the three teams in Beijing, Guangsha and Beijing Enterprises all have a record of 25 wins and 13 losses. The next ranking is still inconclusive.

　　Zhejiang, which ranked sixth, was only one game behind them. Although the Liaoning team slipped quickly, it was only 1.5 wins away from the third-ranked Shougang team.

　　According to the rules of the rematch, the first round of the playoffs will be a single defeat elimination, and the top four teams in the league will be in this round. This also means that in the front of the standings, with the exception of Guangdong and Xinjiang, the remaining teams ranked 3-7 will be in fierce competition for the other two seats in the top four.

　　In contrast, the competition for playoff qualifications currently only occurs between Fujian and Shenzhen.

　　After the first round, the Fujian team ranked 12th with 19 wins and 19 losses. They were ahead of Shenzhen by 2 wins. This small gap also gave the two teams the opportunity to catch the postseason shuttle. Start fighting.

　　It can be said that the 15-day "test run" started the CBA rematch. After the first stage, a three-day transition period will be ushered in, and then the last eight games of the regular season will be played in the two divisions of Qingdao. At that time, it is a new environment, and the test of the team and the league continues. (Finish)
