Since this year’s regular season has been reduced to a minimum of 38 rounds in recent years, with only 10 rounds remaining, the competition for each team to enter the playoffs has become intensified.
In addition to the TOP4 teams of Liaoning, Shanghai, Guangsha, and Zhejiang, which have been confirmed to advance to the playoffs, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanxi currently ranked 5-9. According to the current team status and remaining schedule, they will High probability of qualifying for the playoffs. Since the 1st-4th place has the privilege of byes in the first round of the regular season, Liaoning, Shanghai, Guangsha, and Zhejiang will try their best to keep the top four places, while Guangdong and Shenzhen, which are ranked 5th and 6th, will also make every effort to attack. The 3rd and 4th Zhejiang duo are only 2 games ahead of the 5th Guangdong team. It is not ruled out that the Guangdong team has the possibility of returning to the semi-finals. The top 6 teams will play against each other many times in the third stage, such as Liaoning vs Shanghai, Liaoning vs Zhejiang, Shanghai vs Guangsha and so on. One of these direct dialogue card slot matches is equivalent to two matches.
At present, the specific schedule and location of the playoffs have not yet been determined. If the domestic epidemic situation is relatively stable, there is also the possibility of returning to the home and away system. The high-ranked teams will then have a valuable home-field advantage.
Tongxi and Ningbo in the bottom zone have missed the playoffs. The Tongxi team only won 1 game in the first 2 stages, creating an embarrassing record of 25 consecutive losses, and the Ningbo team only won 2 games. For the league, the existence of such a fish-belly team with a very low winning rate also greatly affects the overall level and viewing degree of the league. I hope that these two teams can work hard in the offseason, and the league will not continue to slump next year.
Sichuan, Qingdao, Fujian and Jiangsu, ranked 15th to 18th, have little hope of hitting the playoffs. From last season’s top eight teams to this season’s playoffs, the Qingdao team’s ranking has fallen astonishingly fast.
The most competitive are the midfield teams with one foot inside the playoff threshold and the other outside the threshold. The 10th Shandong team has 15 wins and 13 losses, and the 11th and 12th Beijing Enterprises and Jilin are both 14 wins and 14 losses. Xinjiang in 13th and Tianjin in 14th were 12 wins and 16 losses and 11 wins and 17 losses respectively. Among them, the Tianjin team, the bottom team for many years, has rejuvenated this season and achieved 11 wins, which is impressive.
Since there are only 10 rounds in the third stage, the error tolerance rate is extremely low for teams that are aiming to compete for a good ranking and are on the edge of the playoffs. A single direct conversation with a competitor could determine the final standings for the entire season. A number of spark-splattered card races will be staged in the third stage. Which team has the last laugh and which team is close to success? The exciting and intense third stage, let us look forward to it! (sword wind hits face)Return to Sohu, see more
