On February 24, Beijing time, according to domestic media, the Chinese Basketball Association will once again adopt the model of dividing the men's basketball national team into two based on the preparation for the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup, that is, using the model of double national teams to form two Chinese men's basketball teams in order to cultivate more talents.
Previously, in 2017 and 2018 before preparing for the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese Basketball Association had already used this plan, and now, Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association, intends to cultivate enough talents for the Chinese men's basketball team through the same method.
It is worth mentioning that in 2017 and 2018, in the mode of the first double national team and red and blue division, a number of outstanding players did emerge to help the development of Chinese basketball. Among them, at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, the current Xinjiang captain Abdul Shalamu and the Guangdong team's Zhao Rui, when the two played an explosive performance against the genuine Iranian national team led by Hadadi in the final, and jointly led the Chinese men's basketball red team to complete the reversal to win the championship, at that time, Abdul Shalamu cut 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Zhao Rui was 5 of 5 in a single game, scoring 16 points and 6 assists with a 100 percent shooting rate. With excellent performances, the later Abdu and Zhao Rui were selected for the 12-man roster of the Chinese team in the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup.
In addition, the Chinese men's basketball team coached by Du Feng at the time also boldly used Hu Mingxuan, who had not yet entered the professional league at that time, and let Hu Jinqiu and Shen Zijie, who had just turned 20 at the time, play an important role, which were all bold acts of cultivating young talents.
It can be said that the double national team model will give more young players the opportunity to show themselves on the stage. At present, the Chinese basketball world is not without excellent new generation of players, after 00 this group of players, Guangdong team Xu Jie has been selected for the national team, other such as Shanghai team Guo Haowen and Li Tianrong, Jilin team Jiang Weize, Guangzhou team Wang Quanze, Zhejiang team Yu Jiahao, is currently playing in the NBA development league to fight for the impact of the NBA Zeng Fanbo, these young players have the potential to become a national player, or the future hope of Chinese basketball, the double national team model, will give this group of players a good chance to get on the position.
Among them, there are 3 relatively prominent post-00 players who are most likely to become first-line national players. Shanghai's high guard Guo Haowen, as the representative of the strongest post-00s in the former CBA, this season's Guo Haowen has completed comprehensive progress, after returning from special training in the United States, he has averaged 22 minutes per game so far in the season, but he can contribute 14.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists, shooting 53%, 33% from three-point range, and 81% from the free throw line, all three shooting rates are new career highs. It can be said that Guo Haowen is one of the best offensive defenders in the domestic basketball world at this stage, with a height of 2 meters 01, considering that he was born in 2000 and was less than 22 years old, Guo Haowen is a player worthy of long-term cultivation of the national team.
The other two relatively prominent post-00 players are Yu Jiahao of Zhejiang team and Zeng Fanbo of Beijing Shougang, both of whom were born in 2003, both are only 19 years old, are currently the two most potential players in Chinese basketball, Yu Jiahao played in the CBA league for the first time this season, averaging 11.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, shooting 60%, if it were not for the absence of 10 consecutive games due to injury, Yu Jiahao's personal data could have been better, and has the potential to become the core internal line of the national hand.
On the other hand, Zeng Fanbo is more prominent, the Background of Four-Star High School Students in the United States, is currently playing in the NBA Development League, trying to impact the NBA, even if Zeng Fanbo does not perform well due to injuries at this stage, but a 19-year-old Chinese basketball player can have the possibility of impacting the NBA, which in itself reflects Zeng Fanbo's excellence. The double national team model, I believe that these two 19-year-old talented teenagers, will be the absolute focus of training objects.
