A few days ago, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the head coach of the new Chinese three-person men's and women's national teams, the men's basketball coach is Wang Zhanyu, and the women's basketball coach is Xu Jiamin.
For Xu Jiamin, fans should not be unfamiliar, she led the Chinese three-person women's basketball team to win the 2019 World Cup championship and the bronze medal of the Tokyo Olympic Games, under such excellent results, Xu Jiamin has no reason to lose.
But for Wang Zhanyu, many fans are a little unaware, but in fact, Wang Zhanyu has been active in the three-person basketball arena over the years, like Li Haonan of the former national team.
More importantly, Wang Zhanyu, as the head coach of the Olympic United Men's Team at the National Games last year, led the team all the way to win the gold medal! This broke the previous doubts from the outside world, especially in the first battle of the group stage, the Olympic joint team not only defeated the Fujian team led by Wang Zhelin and Chen Linjian, But Also Gao Shiyan was in an absolute advantage against Zheng Yi and proved himself.
Although the Olympic joint team has an advantage in experience and personal ability, it is still very difficult to win gold, it can be said that Wang Zhanyu carried a lot of pressure after replacing the former national team coach Liu Zhen, and finally succeeded under heavy pressure.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Zhanyu played for the Henan team when he was a player, and he was also a well-known player at that time, not unknown.
The main task of this year's national three-man team is the Asian Games, and the FIBA points game is equally important, because it is related to whether the Chinese team at the Paris Olympic Games can accumulate enough points, however, because of the epidemic, it is still unknown what kind of team the Chinese Basketball Association will send to the game.
In addition, what is more noteworthy is that what players will Wang Zhanyu choose next to enter the national team? This is also a problem that requires coordination and communication from all parties, from the perspective of the previous competition, only Hu Jinqiu is the core of the indomitable, Yan Peng, Li Haonan and Gao Shiyan are difficult to be selected again, but Hu Jinqiu is also a general under Du Feng, will he represent the three-person or five-person national team?
At present, the CBA league is still in progress, even if Wang Zhanyu wants to choose people, he can only choose from the 8 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs, such as Zhang Zhenlin, Ding Yanyuhang and other fans hope that they will be selected for the three-person national team, I am afraid that they can only wait until the end of the CBA playoffs to answer the call.
Through the Olympic games, it can be seen that in the international three-on-three competition, the players are almost all 1.95-2 meters, there is no position, so the future Chinese team selection may also be composed of small forwards of about 2 meters, and Ding Yanyuhang, who has transformed into a shooter this season, may be reused.
