The results of the men's basketball Asian Cup in the past two days have been released, many fans do not care about this matter, everyone's concept seems to be stuck ten years ago, thinking that the Asian Cup we casually send a second team lineup is enough. In fact, such an idea is no longer suitable for today's Chinese men's basketball team, although I don't want to hurt the hearts of fans, but I have to say that we are no better than that year!
Don't think that the results of the Asian Cup are of little significance to us, there is a saying, since our unfortunate failure in the Men's Basketball World Cup in 2019, the Chinese men's basketball team has fallen into an unprecedented trough, and this defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team may not be slow for 5-10 years!
Reason 1 for the all-out impact on the Asian Cup:
In the 90s, China was invincible in Asia, it was lonely to seek defeat, from 2000 to 2012, every Olympic Qualifying Tournament was held in China, 2003, Harbin, 08 host, 11 years Wuhan, the final one point narrowly defeated Jordan, 15 years Changsha fought South Korea, China occupied the advantages of time and place, and now not only the results are slipping, but also to the point where any country now wants to fight with the Chinese team, which was not dared to think before.
Therefore, this year's Asian Cup is our key battle, it involves the world rankings, but also affects the World Cup and the Olympic Games. In addition, our position in Asia needs to be consolidated so that other countries are the leaders of Asia.
Reason 2 for the all-out impact on the Asian Cup:
What is more important is that Du Feng fell on top of the Asian Cup that year, and I think everyone must remember that the Asian Cup at that time was a mess, and the wind evaluation directed by Du Feng at that time was not good. Fans mostly agree that there is a problem with his tactical arrangement and lineup selection. As a competitive and persistent person, Du Feng's guidance will definitely get up from wherever he falls, and punch all those who have not been optimistic about him before.
Du Feng's coaching in this Asian Cup has enough experience and preparation, and he needs to use the battle of the Asian Cup to make his manager position more stable and gain more recognition.
Reason 3 for the all-out impact on the Asian Cup:
To be fair, I think the gold content of the Asian Cup and the Asian Games has now been very different, the Asian Games sound huge, in fact, many countries' men's basketball teams have not sent the strongest lineup to participate in recent years, which is really a chicken rib. This Asian Cup has added New Zealand and Australia, so it is not easy to take it lightly.
As for the Asian Games, because there are no two strong opponents, we can get cards even if we send two teams, so we can send a younger, more diverse squad, and we can know each other to survive.
My personal thoughts on the training list and the final 12-person roster:
I think that the Asian Cup Chinese men's basketball team will inevitably play with all the main forces, this battle to play style, play level, naturally from the employment of people need to be cautious, diversified lineup to ensure tactical diversity.
At this stage, the training team list will look like this:
Defender position: Guo Allen, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Jiwei, Sun Minghui, Zhao Yanhao and Wu Qian.
Forward positions: Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin, Abdul Shalamu, Qi Lin, Jiang Yuxing, Zhu Junlong.
Inside line location: Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Hu Jinqiu, Wang Zhelin, Shen Zijie, Liu Chuanxing.
What I personally think the final 12-man roster looks like this:
Insiders: Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Shen Zijie, Hu Jinqiu.
Frontline: Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin, Abdul Shalamu, Qi Lin.
Defenders: Guo Allen, Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui, Zhao Jiwei.
Seriously, after watching the grouping of the Asian Cup, I feel that only Australia and South Korea are a little stronger among these opponents, Australia is a traditional Asian strong team, physical confrontation is relatively strong, physical fitness and confrontation ability is very good. And the Korean team is our old rival, we are familiar with their three-plate axe, once they go crazy, the three points will be very accurate, but we can target the prevention.
As for the Bahrain men's basketball team and the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team, the overall strength is obviously weaker and will not pose too much of a threat to the Chinese team. This group should belong to the medium sign, as long as we play normally, the group qualification is not a problem, the key is to play our own characteristics, so that this competition becomes a good stage for training troops and practicing tactics.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team needs a chance to bottom out, what we fans need to do is to wait patiently, respect all the arrangements of Coach Du Feng, do not blindly guess and attack, and talk with the ball on the field is the king!
