The Chinese women's basketball team has locked up the women's basketball World Cup seat in advance, and the qualifiers for the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup are still underway. The second window of the Asian region will be played on February 24-28, but this time there is no Chinese men's basketball team, and everyone is preparing for the CBA later. If you say that in addition to caring about the situation of other teams, it is Chen Yingjun and Zhou Yixiang, the two players of Baodao who can be related to the CBA.
According to the previous list, both of them were selected for the training team of the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team. The Treasure Island men's basketball team has been assembled for training on the 7th, but there are only 12 people.
Due to the epidemic and other reasons, the return from outing games will face the problem of isolation, taiwan will take 14 days, and the Chinese mainland will be 14+7, which is a tricky problem for players who want to participate in the window period.
Although both of the CBA players are on the roster, at present, according to Taiwanese media reports, Zhou Yixiang is sure that he will participate, while Chen Yingjun has not yet determined.
The situation of these two players in the CBA is obviously different, Chen Yingjun is currently the core player of Guangzhou, Guo Shiqiang's right-hand man, his performance this season is also the best since the CBA, and Guangzhou has a good record this season, the third stage will continue to hold the playoff seat, and Chen Yingjun is too important to them. If he competes, returns in early March, and faces a 14+7 quarantine, then it can be announced that the regular season will end early, even if Guangzhou enters the playoffs, he also needs to recover, which is too difficult for him, so it is understandable not to play out of the window.
Zhou Yixiang was different. In addition, this season, he still has a two-year contract with the Beijing men's basketball team, but this season he has completely become a marginal figure in the team, averaging only 5.7 minutes per game and playing 7 games, which is the lowest value of his five seasons in the CBA, this season, he has not even had to go too far, so it is said that he left Beijing to play the window period, which basically will not affect his position in Beijing. Beijing will basically advance to the playoffs, and will not reuse him at that time.
Therefore, according to the reports of the Taiwan media, Zhou Yixiang has basically confirmed the participation, due to the quarantine policy, he can not go back to participate in the training, he will most likely fly directly from China to Japan on the 22nd. And in this game, it is also after the 2020 Asian Cup qualifiers, he once again played for the Treasure Island men's basketball team.
In the second window, Chinese Taipei, Japan and Australia will face each other in the Okinawa Division. According to the schedule, the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team will play against Australia, Japan and Australia on the 25th, 26th and 28th. This time, the players are basically young players and college players. The whole team will also leave for Tokyo on the 22nd, and then Japan will arrange a special flight to Okinawa to compete.
