Reduced rounds + shortened quarters + post-match play-offs, media person: If the national team is sick, the CBA will have to take medicine

A few days ago, Detective Zhao in the media circle revealed that the CBA games in the new season will be changed to 10 minutes per quarter (previously 12 minutes). Although the CBA is nominally the so-called Chinese Men's Basketball Professional League, in recent years, the CBA has been far from professional in terms of competition system, player level, and referees' execution level.

In a true professional league, the number of games each season is absolutely fixed. On the other hand, in the CBA, the new season that is about to start will have 42 rounds. Last season it was 46 rounds, and the 23-24 season has 52 rounds. In the playoffs, there will be a 7-match-4-win format until the finals. Basically every season, the CBA frees up several windows to make way for the national team. However, this year's CBA, which can be said to be the latest league to start in the world, has made way for the National Games, causing the start time to be postponed to December. Recently, the previous 12-minute quarter has been changed to 10 minutes. This is indeed a bit of a joke for CBA.

In this regard, media person Fu Zhenghao also wrote a long article about this matter. He said bluntly: "When the national team is sick, CBA has to take medicine. This is my biggest insight from CBA. In the past 30 years since the establishment of CBA, in addition to making way for the national team to prepare for war, as long as the national team's performance is not as good as expected, CBA will usher in rule reforms. Nowadays, China The National Basketball Association is determined to shorten the CBA season from 12 minutes to 10 minutes. This is actually a response to the national team's consecutive failure to qualify for the Olympics. "

A truly professional league should be completely separated from the national team. Whether it is the NBA or the European League, there is basically no situation where the club makes way for the national team or even suspends the game. But looking back at the CBA, in recent years, the league has been suspended for some national team games that may not be that important, and the break lasts for almost a month. This has made some teams or players finally get out of form, but have to find their form again because of the long "pause". Many fans also said: "In terms of amateurs, we are really professional."

If the CBA wants to be truly professional, it is indeed very difficult. After all, the existence of this league is basically to serve the national team, and everything is based on the national team. If the CBA league has to take the blame because the national team's record deteriorates, then the CBA may really not achieve qualitative development.

Recently, there are rumors that the CBA will add a "fifth quarter". After the first four quarters, an extra quarter will be added specifically for young players to play. If this matter is really finalized, then it will only make the CBA a "big joke" again, and the Chinese men's basketball team will only be able to truly develop in the future.
