Who is the first brother of today's Chinese men's basketball team? Zhou Qi, Guo Allen, or Wang Zhelin? No, no, no, none of this is, as long as he exists one day, the chinese men's basketball team's brother position is none other than him. No, in the recent FIBA release of the Asian Cup promotional poster, who is the men's basketball brother will be clear at a glance. In the final four of Group B, Yi Jianlian became the representative player of the Chinese team. It can be seen that in the eyes of FIBA, the UAE Is still the leader of the men's basketball team.
The Asian Cup will be held in July, and the group stage of the Chinese team is the same group as Chinese Taipei, South Korea and Bahrain, and from the perspective of strength, the Chinese team is undoubtedly the strength of the first team in the group. It is not difficult to see in the PROPAGANDA poster of THE FIBA that the position of the Chinese team is placed in the C position, and there is no doubt that the first strongest team in Group B is unquestionable.
Although since the 2019 World Cup, Yi Jianlian has not played for the Chinese team for three years. However, on the promotional poster of this Asian Cup, Yi Jianlian still appeared on the poster, representing the Chinese team in the C position. From this point of view, FIBA still recognizes the UAE League very much, believing that the UAE League will still represent the Chinese team.
As we all know, the UAE League is the iconic figure of the Chinese men's basketball team, and since he was selected for the national team in 2004, he has become the core of the Chinese team in the past decade or so. Especially after Yao Ming retired, he carried the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team and helped the Chinese team to enter the Olympic Games in 2012 and 2016.
However, after the injury in the 2019-20 season, the UAE League rested for a whole season, and after the comeback of this season, the UAE League is in good shape, averaging 16.6 points and 8.4 boards per game. Although the data has dropped significantly, as long as he exists one day, the brother of the Chinese men's basketball team will always belong to him. Zhou Qi and Guo Allen can't help it, and you still need to wait for the position of this brother.
