On July 12, the Men's Basketball Asian Cup officially began, and the first group game of the Chinese team was scheduled in the evening, against the South Korean team. Originally, Du Feng made sufficient preparations, using the previous training and world preliminary training, but because some players were positive for nucleic acid, disrupted the previous deployment, and finally the 12-man list was also adjusted in a wide range, and many people lost the opportunity to participate in the Asian Cup.
Du Feng brought 14 players to fight abroad this time, plus 5 people who were recently added, the lineup is still very large, but it also means that 7 players eventually failed, of which the fans may regret the most Guo Allen, Zhu Junlong, Shen Zijie.
This national team does not have Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng, and has established a framework with Zhou Qi and Guo Allen as the core of the internal and external lines, and may maintain this system in the next few years, and this is also the first time that they have independently led the team to participate in the official competition. However, after the World Preliminary Round, both of them were stranded in Australia for many days due to physical conditions. Zhou Qi has an important tactical position for the national team, and is ranked in the big list by Du Feng, even if he misses some games, he does not hesitate, but Guo Allen does not have this treatment, although he feels indonesia urgently, but his physical condition is still not optimistic.
In recent years, Guo Allen is at the peak of his career, in addition to passing control, the organization is still stable, breakthrough and mid-range shooting have improved, and the cooperation with Zhou Qi is also very tacit. If it is not so smooth to play against the European and American strong team Guo Allen, it is still very easy to face asian teams, and it is basically difficult to limit his breakthrough. However, people are not as good as heaven, Guo Allen will not have the opportunity to shine in this Asian Cup, and can only return to the league to continue to show himself.
The second unlucky player is Guangsha youngster Zhu Junlong, the 23-year-old striker was given the opportunity to play for the country for the first time, just in time for the national team's front line to alternate between the old and new, especially Zhou Peng's withdrawal due to injury, Zhang Zhenlin's special training in the United States, Zhu Junlong won Du Feng's favor with his performance in the league.
Zhu Junlong only missed 1 game in the previous World Preliminary Tournament, played very steadily against Australia and Chinese Taipei, was conscientious in defense, and had stable projection skills on the offensive end, in the past two years, Du Feng has constantly inspected newcomers, and it is obvious that Zhu Junlong's debut is satisfactory to him.
As Zhou Peng, Zhai Xiaochuan, Ding Yanyuhang and others entered the end of their careers, and the national team gradually drifted away, the most stable successor of the future front line is Zhang Zhenlin, including Zeng Fanbo and Qi Lin are also the objects of key investigation, but they did not expect Zhu Junlong to suddenly kill everyone's eyes. It is just a pity that it is said that due to physical discomfort, Zhu Junlong did not enter the big list, and Du Feng chose the experienced Zhai Xiaochuan.
The last one to regret is Shen Zijie, who has gained a firm foothold in defense since entering the national team last year, and seems to be the most stable candidate for the third center after Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin. Including the last few games, although there are not many opportunities, Du Feng understands his value the most.
However, because of the problem of the new crown, Shen Zijie has not yet fully recovered, the internal line is short of people, the Basketball Association immediately recruited Fan Ziming to replace, in case the latter has an excellent performance, Du Feng will make adjustments in the future in the selection of personnel, Shen Zijie's previously accumulated not solid position may be lost. Fan Ziming's opportunity to overtake in the curve came, and it was up to him to see if he could grasp it.
