I don't know if you have heard of "East Asian Basketball Super League" or "Extraordinary 12"? The latest news, CBA Liaoning team, as the 2019 "Eastern Super League" champion, may participate in the "Eastern Super League" in the new season.
This is a new league established in recent years with the support of FIBA and ABA ("Eastern Super League" and FIBA and ABA have signed a 10-year cooperation agreement), with the goal of establishing a basketball "AFC Champions League" covering all basketball clubs in East Asia.
The "Eastern Super League" has held four tournaments in Macau, China from 2017 to 2019, each of which is a week-long conference system competition.
(1) 8 teams participating in the "Super 8":
When the East Asian Basketball League was founded in 2017, it was initially played by only 8 teams, and the tournament was called "Super 8". Guangsha Men's Basketball Team, Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team, South Korea's Gaoyang Orion, Japan's Ryukyu Golden Emperor, Chinese Taipei Puyuan Building, Japan's Chiba Jets, Chinese Taipei Fubon Warriors, South Korea's Seoul Samsung 8 teams participated. In the end, the Shenzhen men's basketball team withdrew from the game due to dissatisfaction with the referee's decision (head coach Wang Jianjun was banned by the Basketball Association for a whole season); the Guangsha men's basketball team lost to the Japanese team Chiba Jets in the final.
(2) The "Extraordinary 12" participated by 12 teams after the expansion:
In July 2018, there was a "Super 8" with 8 teams, and then in September, there was a "Extraordinary 12" with 12 teams.
In the first "Extraordinary 12" of 2018, the CBA had 4 teams participating, Zhejiang Guangsha, Xinjiang Guanghui, Shandong Dongwang, Guangzhou Dragon lions, but in the end only Guangzhou team qualified, and Shandong team even lost to baodao's team. In the end, Guangzhou lost the final to the Golden Emperor of Ryukyu in Japan and won the second place.
Some fans may ask: the good CBA is the best league in Asia, and the CBA team is the strongest team in Asia? How can I not beat others all the time? Don't worry, let's move on.
In the "Extraordinary 12" of 2019, the Liaoning team relied on the play of foreign aid Stephenson to win the final in the absence of Guo Allen, Han Dejun and Zhao Jiwei, and the Chinese team finally won the championship.
Seeing this, everyone should understand: the reason why it took three years to win the championship, the opponent is not as weak as imagined is of course an important reason; but the main reason is that the CBA team only takes him to the pre-season warm-up game, the main force is basically truce, often using youth players to play with others.
Because whether it is "Super 8" or "Extraordinary 12" or "East Asian Super League", it is a friendly match with a more commercial nature. It seems to be more chicken for CBA teams.
However, it is said that the "Eastern Super League" will be converted to a home-and-away system next season, which is one step closer to the "Basketball AFC Champions League".
The idea that "East Super League" should be changed to home and away has been out for some time. The news at the time was this: a new home-and-away format will begin in October 2022, with eight participating teams from the Japanese B-League, the Korean KBL, the Philippine PBA, the Chinese Taipei League and the Chinese Hong Kong League.
Many fans left a message under this news: No CBA team? Rookies pecking at each other?
This makes sense, because in Asia (Australia does not count), the CBA should indeed be the highest level of professional league. Both the level of foreign aid and the strength of the team are slightly better than the Japanese and Korean leagues; the small leagues of other countries cannot be compared with the CBA.
If there is no CBA team, then this "East Asian Super League" is really just in name only.
However, some media have released the wind: the Liaoning team, as the champion of the previous session (2019), is expected to participate!
Is it the Liaoning team itself that wants to participate, or the "Eastern Super League" that wants the Liaoning team to participate? The media hides this key information, but we can imagine that as an emerging league, if you want to build a "basketball AFC Champions League", the "Eastern Super League" must be a more active party.
In order to let CBA teams join, the "Eastern Super League" has spared no effort in recent years. Many of the daily videos and interviews we see on the Internet about Guangdong team foreign aid Weems are made by "Dongchao"; He Xining broke the news in an interview that Hu Mingxuan likes to play games, and the source is also an interview with "Dongchao". At that time, I still wondered why your "Dongchao" did not report its own things, and why did you report on the CBA stuff? It turned out to be premeditated.
If the Liaoning team really joins, then the "Eastern Super League" will definitely be happy.
But does the CBA and the Chinese Basketball Association agree? I don't think so.
After all, the Liaoning team itself still has to participate in the CBA, and let him fly around in the season as a guest in Japan and South Korea to play the "Eastern Super League", is it not sharing the CBA's own cake and harming the CBA's own interests?
Besides, when the "Eastern Super League" develops, won't the CBA's temporary "Asia's first league" status be even more unsafe?
