Recently, what has made the Chinese basketball world vibrate is that the Chinese men's basketball team won the opening of the World Cup qualifiers in the back-to-back away game against Japan in the World Preliminary Round, and it can be said that the Chinese men's basketball team in these two games is all a big victory, one is 79:63, and the other is 106:73. These two games did not let the fans find the point of complaining, and the national team led by Du Feng gave the fans hope.
Perhaps the only regret is that Zhou Qi was accidentally injured during the game, and Zhou Qi's injury also made the fans very heartbroken, after all, Zhou Qi's position in this national team is very important, and he efficiently got 24 points and 12 rebounds in the first game after only 20 minutes. Strong proof that it is still the most stable point on the inside line. In addition to the other national teams to leave more praise for the fans.
The performance of the national team has given fans hope, but for some players, it may be that this world preliminary tournament is more depressed, of which the veteran Han Dejun can be counted as one. In the first game against Japan, Han Dejun entered the 12-man roster, and in the case of 11 minutes on the court, the two-pointer was 0 of 1, and the free throws were 2 of 4, and he got a total of 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
Han Dejun's presence on the field is not high, and Han Dejun is also a top center in the domestic league, especially the ability to singles and block and dismantle is very strong. However, in the World Preliminary Round, although the national team has two Liaoning defenders Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen, Han Dejun still has not played his effective scoring methods, which is also a bit disappointing. The only time it is memorable is that Han Dejun wanted to eat a Japanese player under the basket, but was fouled by his opponent, and Han Dejun only scored points through the free throw. In the second game, Han Dejun directly fell out of the 12-man roster and failed to get the last game, which means that in the World Preliminary Tournament, Han Dejun only played once, and only got two points.
For this 34-year-old veteran, in fact, fans should not have too much blame, after all, Han Dejun has reached the twilight of his career, looking at the current Chinese national team like Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Shen Zijie, Hu Jinqiu and other junior players have mushroomed, Han Dejun in this national team is more like a big brother, playing a role in passing and helping.
In addition, in this national team, Han Dejun's style is completely different from the style advocated by Du Feng, Du Feng emphasizes rapid advancement, while Han Dejun is mainly based on positional warfare, although the two appreciate each other, but the chemical reflection on the field may not be so good, which is another reason why it is difficult for Han Dejun to enter the national team in the future.
In short, with the strong rise of Zhou Qi and the efficient play of Hu Jinqiu, in addition to the increasing progress of tall centers such as Wang Zhelin, Shen Zijie, and even Liu Chuanxing, Han Dejun may be his national team farewell battle, and he will also withdraw from the national team.
