Since the defeat at the Men's Basketball World Cup at home in 2019, the Chinese men's basketball team has fallen into a trough, and in the Olympic games that are simply impossible to win, the Chinese team has lost to the Canadian men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team, completely missing the Tokyo Olympic Games held this summer, which also made the Chinese men's basketball team miss the Olympic Games for the first time in 37 years.
However, in this year's Asian Cup qualifiers and World Cup qualifiers, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team is still remarkable, the Asian Cup qualifiers on the Chinese men's basketball team double killed Chinese Taipei and The Japanese men's basketball team, the World Cup qualifiers in the Japanese men's basketball team at home The Chinese men's basketball team is also a big victory, but it should be noted that the Japanese men's basketball team has Yamura Andi Watanabe, two players who played in the NBA, have not returned, and the horse field that played in the G League of the NBA Development League has not returned, if the three players who play in overseas leagues all return, It is not easy for the Chinese men's basketball team to easily win the Japanese men's basketball team, but recently the Chinese men's basketball team has come with a good news.
Recently, the NCAA League Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin launched a showdown, although in the end Purdue University unfortunately lost the game 69-74, but this time the Chinese talent center Zhou Zhihao came off the bench, in the case of only 20 minutes, Zhou Zhihao cut the team's highest 24 points + 10 rebounds, Zhou Zhihao repeatedly sent dunks and inside strong hits, and there was a dunk that received the teammate's backcourt bottom line, and Zhou Zhihao's play was very eye-catching in the whole game.
It is understood that there were more than 16 NBA scouts watching the game on the day, and many fans predicted that with Zhou Zhihao's ability, he should be able to enter the lotto area of the NBA Draft. Zhou Zhihao is only 19 years old this year, but the height has reached 223cm, although the figure is very tall, but Zhou Zhihao is not stupid, his internal technology is more solid, the template is yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, it can be said that in addition to the shooting feel is not soft enough, Zhou Zhihao's various qualities are beyond the same period of Yao Ming.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team did not qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games this year, creating an embarrassing record, it should be admitted that the Chinese men's basketball team still has a lot of basketball talents in recent years. Li Hongquan, who is with Zhou Qi at the Phoenix in southeast Melbourne, Australia, is close to switching from a sparring contract to a development player contract, and is reportedly not far from playing. The 18-year-old zeng Fanbo, who currently plays in the G-League of the NBA Development League, is making a full impact on this year's NBA draft. Yu Jiahao, also an 18-year-old, although he is still a rookie season in the CBA this season, he can already contribute an average of 11.7 points + 8.2 rebounds per game.
And at this stage, the core of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi, is only 25 years old, he still has a long career peak, Hu Jinqiu is only 24 years old, the young player Xu Jie is still a zero zero, hu Mingxuan is just 23 years old this year. The players all showed their talent early and were all very young. But now the situation is that the Chinese men's basketball team lacks a super strong internal line like Yao Ming, 19-year-old Zhou Zhihao just has the potential of Yao Ming that year, if Yao Ming can naturalize Zhou Zhihao, the Chinese men's basketball team will once again focus on the world, and hope to break the wrist with world-class opponents like the Spanish men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team again.
Zhou Zhihao is just 19 years old, but the talent shown can be described by a genius center, and Zhou Zhihao's grandfather is more people, his mother is a first-generation Canadian Chinese, and he also expressed his willingness to consider joining the Chinese men's basketball team in an earlier interview, if Yao Ming can naturalize Zhou Zhihao, the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team will be greatly improved, and returning to the top eight in the world is not a dream.
