After the loss of the first game of the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team has endured a lot of pressure, especially a large number of players in the team are sick and cannot train normally, and the strength is greatly reduced, but because the group stage opponents in addition to South Korea, Bahrain and Chinese Taipei are not too strong, as long as the next win can ensure the qualification, the real hard battle is in the knockout stage, but at least it can give the players more breathing room. On July 14th, I brought you 3 messages about Chinese basketball.
First of all, basketball reporter Song Xiang broke the news that Zhou Qi has begun to practice with the men's basketball team after arriving in Indonesia and is preparing for the game against Bahrain, but there is still suspense whether to play.
Zhou Qi's importance to the Chinese men's basketball team is self-evident, and his deterrent power under the basket is not inferior even against a powerful opponent like Australia. After participating in the World Preliminary Tournament, many players appeared physically, and Zhou Qi was also stranded in Australia. However, because the tactical position is too important, Du Feng still reported Zhou Qi's name in the Asian Cup list, and the more he went to the back, the more he needed his presence.
Originally, Zhou Qi still had time to adjust his body, but after seeing the loss to the Korean team, he rushed to Indonesia, and it was said that he still had symptoms of fever and high blood pressure, but still insisted on starting training. Bahrain is the weakest opponent in this group, even lost to Chinese Taipei before, at present, the Chinese team will easily win this victory, Zhou Qi may be put on the list, but the probability of playing is not very large.
The second message is about Zhao Rui, after losing to the South Korean team on the evening of the 12th, he opened a live broadcast in his personal media to respond to the fans' doubts, but because of his excitement, he insulted the fans as "cattle and horses", which brought a very bad public opinion impact. In that game, Zhao Rui played 30 minutes, cut 22 points and 4 rebounds, and Gu Quan tied for the highest score in the team, probably unhappy after losing, coupled with the situation in the team is not optimistic, and did not get the fans to understand, in a hurry to explode foul language.
However, the relationship between professional players and fans is very delicate, and it is better to stay away than to have disputes, which has a great impact on the team. Perhaps in order to save the image, the FIBA official website released an interview with Zhao Rui for less than a minute at noon on the 14th.
Regarding the next game, Zhao Rui believes that it is necessary to adjust from the mentality, each player's body and feeling are different, and there are some injuries that need to be changed as soon as possible. When asked about the atmosphere in the team, Zhao Rui said that everyone is very united, and it is a fact that the personnel are uneven, but they are all doing their best to play the game, dedicate themselves to every fan, and do a good job.
The third is about domestic basketball, the recent CBA Summer League is about to start in Qingdao, there are 8 teams participating in the Liaoning men's basketball team, because of the shortage of manpower they temporarily recalled Yu Zechen and Wu Changze, who trained in the national second team.
Last season, Liaoning won the championship, the team results are good, the team is relatively relaxed, it is the latest team to assemble in the league, the key factor is that Yang Ming has no one to train, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Fu Hao, Gao Shiyan have been transferred by the national team and have not returned to the team, Zhang Zhenlin went to the United States for special training.
However, normal preparations still have to be carried out, the summer league is a good opportunity to examine young people, but also need the main backbone, this time Han Dejun, Li Xiaoxu did not participate, need Cong Mingchen, Yan Handqi and other pick beams, and even Wu Changze, Yu Zechen are considered to be the core, look forward to them can show what they trained during this time.
