Kenya, which was originally two games behind Beijing and Sichuan, succeeded in narrowing the gap to only 1 game after defeating Zhejiang in this round, rekindling the hope of getting playoff tickets. The Tianjin team ranked 1 1 also won this round, and they still have theoretical hope to advance to the playoffs with 16 wins 17 losses. Qingdao (12) and Shanxi (14+ 19) are still not completely out, but the possibility is slim.

After Shenzhen beat Beijing, its record reached 22 wins, 1 1 negative, while Beijing and Sichuan, which ranked eighth and ninth, both won 18 and lost 15. Since Beijing and Sichuan are still in direct dialogue, there must be a team between Beijing and Sichuan that can't win more than 22 games.

At present, except for the six teams that have advanced to the playoffs and the seven teams that have completely missed, the competition for the playoffs has theoretically become a situation of seven into two.

Shanghai, Xinjiang, Liaoning, Guangsha, Guangdong and Shenzhen, which ranked first to sixth in the standings, all won this round, and their rankings have not changed. However, there is only a gap of 1 between the first and fourth places, and the gap of 1 between the fifth and fourth places still makes the final ranking full of suspense. Every subsequent game may affect their seats, thus changing the situation in the playoffs. The seventh Shandong team lost to Liaoning in the absence of Ding Yanyuhang, and the record of 20 wins 13 losses has fallen behind the sixth Shenzhen (22 wins 1 1 negative) by two wins. However, because Beijing and Sichuan also lost at the same time, the Shandong team still led the eighth place with two wins and continued to be in a relatively stable ranking.

There are five rounds left in the regular season. The biggest attraction is who will catch the last bus in the playoffs between Beijing, Sichuan and Jiangsu. Beijing and Sichuan will meet in the final round of the league. In addition, the gap between the top five teams in the standings is only two points, and the competition is extremely fierce.
