Every summer is the most intensive time for the men's basketball national team to play, recently Du Feng led the team to Australia early to participate in the third window of the Asian Preliminary Round, on June 30, the first opponent they will face is the host, CCTV5 sports channel will be broadcast live at 16:35, fans do not miss, look forward to our team to win the first victory of this series.
This time the Chinese men's basketball team faces two opponents, winning the Chinese Taipei team is no problem, basically can ensure the qualifying place, but Australia is very strong, is our strongest opponent in Asia, not only the game is won or lost.
A month ago, Du Feng gathered a large number of national players to participate in the training, and finally selected 14 players to fight abroad, which is the same as his previous practice, although only 12 people can enter the big list per game, but there are always two players as an alternative, to avoid injuries and diseases, but also to make personnel allocation for tactical needs.
At present, the fans are most concerned about how to arrange the first game against Australia, especially the starting 5 is crucial, and a good start will make the subsequent game smoother. According to media reports, in the past few days in australia to practice the lineup, Du Feng's starting five tigers have already taken shape, most likely Guo Allen, Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui, Shen Zijie, Zhou Qi.
The combination of this lineup is slightly strange, forming a combination of 3 defenders and 2 centers, but in fact, Du Feng has made this arrangement during the domestic training, but at that time, the starting lineup included Zhao Jiwei and no Hu Mingxuan. Du Feng put up the inner double tower, must suppress the opponent in height, and because Shen Zijie did a good job in the town to guard the basket, so Zhou Qi is likely to swim away from the big forward position, and the defender to do the blocking and dismantling after the down, using the high lift high to easily score.
Choosing Hu Mingxuan to play first surprised everyone, but it is more reasonable to think about it carefully, after all, Guo Allen in the starting lineup must enjoy full ball rights, tactical execution is also controlled by him, and the second player only needs to do the point point, just Hu Mingxuan is most suitable for this role. If Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen are paired as in the past, the two will interfere in the distribution of the ball, which is a waste of resources. Du Feng's arrangement may be borrowed from Yang Ming's employment strategy in the Liaoning team, Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei can coexist, but not in the opening stage, which will affect the speed of the two entering the rhythm.
What is slightly distressing is that although Zhao Rui, who is Du Feng's concubine, entered the starting lineup, he was squeezed into the position of small forward and had to undertake a lot of defensive tasks. This training because Zhou Peng and Zhang Zhenlin did not participate, Abdul Salam was injured and lost, the third position was relatively weak, and Du Feng also took the opportunity to rely more on the three-guard system to weaken the role of small forwards.
Finally, let's discuss the 12-man roster, it is more critical against Australia, and Du Feng will definitely use more familiar players. When he first participated in the first game against Japan last year, Wang Zhelin and Ren Junfei sat under the court in the first game; In the second game, Han Dejun and Abdul Shalamu rested, and this time Du Feng may let Fu Hao and Zhu Junlong play a battle first.
Judging from the predicted starting lineup, Du Feng put up a double-tower tactic, and the fourth position can also be a center forward, and Zhou Qi and Shen Zijie can top this position. Fu Hao re-entered the national team after many years, he has improved his attack in the past year, but the defensive speed is not strong enough, Du Feng is more inclined to use Ren Junwei as a substitute forward first, and play a mobile role to do a good job in defense.
Zhu Junlong also faces the same problem, Du Feng uses three defenders, there are not many opportunities for legitimate small forwards to play, Gu Quancheng is heavy, Lu Wenbo participated in the national team last year, they have better experience, so let Zhu Junlong watch a game first, and then there will be performance opportunities.
Since Du Feng officially coached the national team, it has brought refreshing changes to the fans, in addition to more adjustments in the lineup, it has also been recognized in the cultivation of new talents, while taking into account the results of the game, and also look forward to this team to bring surprises to everyone this summer.
