On the evening of Lunar New Year's Eve, a notice from FIBA Asia, which is the Asian Basketball Federation, announced that Qatar was recently affected by the new crown epidemic. The Ministry of Health of Qatar, where the tournament was held, directly made the decision to cancel all competitions. The 2021 Asian Cup Men's Basketball Qualifiers Group A, Group B and Group E, which had been determined to start on February 17, were also cancelled. When the event will be postponed, and in what manner will it be held in the future, there is no final conclusion yet. And because of the preparations for the Asian Cup qualifiers, the start time of the third stage of the CBA League matches is very likely to be adjusted accordingly. In accordance with the notice of the Chinese Basketball Association, the Asian Basketball Federation has been carefully studying possible alternatives for the game in the near future.
However, one thing must be determined, that is, the Chinese men's basketball team, which originally planned to charter a flight to Qatar for the competition, will also stay in place and the players can go home and reunite with their loved ones. The Chinese Basketball Association will also maintain communication with the FIBA and formulate the next work plan based on the current actual changes. Considering the actual situation, the third stage of the CBA League will be played in advance, which will become a high probability event. It's just that such a change is more beneficial to some teams that have a relatively neat lineup and no longer need any personnel changes. And like the Guangdong Men's Basketball and Liaoning Men's Basketball, they are likely to encounter new difficulties.
For example, the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team may face a situation where Yi Jianlian will not be able to return before the end of the playoffs regardless of the team's performance. After all, according to the previous arrangement, the first few rounds of the playoffs were decided by one game. Only the finals were played in three games. Yi Jianlian’s Achilles tendon injury wanted to return to the official game state in such a short time. The fierce competition is obviously extremely difficult and risky. For the Liaoning Men’s Basketball Team, it’s because they need to sign Fergus and ensure that he can completely go from isolation, to training, to entering the team to participate in the game, and having a good run-in with his teammates soon after the start of the third stage. Such a process is equally difficult.
Of course, this change in the schedule is a new change for each team, and it is something that everyone did not anticipate in advance.Therefore, the uncertainty caused by this unexpected change is the same for each team. From this point of view, because Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu recruited foreign aid early in the previous game, Landsberg and his teammates began to run in early. In order to form a tacit understanding between Landsberg and his teammates, Wu Qian deliberately controlled his offensive desire and created more offensive opportunities for Landsberg. Although the performance of the Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team was very obvious when Landsberg first arrived on the team, the Zhejiang Men's Basketball team has slowly adapted to the position of Landsberg in the main lineup. The ups and downs of Wu Qian are also a transitional performance for the team to adapt to foreign players, which also created conditions for the Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team to strive for good results in subsequent games.
In addition, as another favorite to win the championship, Xinjiang men's basketball team is also likely to benefit from the early benefit of the CBA schedule. Because they now have experienced veteran Zeng Lingxu on the perimeter, Yu Dehao and his teammates are also getting in touch with each other. Qi Lin and Tang Caiyu are becoming more mature on the front line, and Abdul Saramu is gradually getting out of the trouble caused by injuries. The combination of Zhou Qi and Motel Yunus has also proved its worth in many tough battles. The foreign aid Clark, who joined the team once in the last season and has outstanding performance, has also completed all the previous procedures. May appear in the next game. From the perspective of the overall composition of the personnel, it is obvious that the Xinjiang men’s basketball team, which is dominated by young people, is confident enough to challenge the Liaoning and Guangdong men’s basketball teams. It depends on which team can take advantage of this sudden change in schedule. Strive to win the championship in this not-so-common season.
