The new training list of the Chinese men's basketball team has been released. In terms of position, there are only three pure inner linemen above 2.10 meters, namely Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and Jiao Boqiao (22 years old, 2.10 meters, currently playing for Guangzhou team). There are as many as 8 people on the front line, namely Hu Jinqiu, Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin, Zhu Xuhang, Zeng Fanbo, Zhu Mingzhen, Zhu Junlong, Cui Yongxi (19 years old, 2.01 meters, currently playing for Guangzhou team), and Guo Allen, Zhao Rui, Zhao Jiwei, Hu Mingxuan, Wu Qian, Cheng Shuaipeng, Cui Xiaolong (23 years old, 1.95 meters, currently playing for Jiangsu team).
From this list, it can be clearly seen that the increase in forward places is intended to be in line with the current international fast-paced basketball competition, trying to discover more athletes who are about 2 meters tall and have excellent athletic ability. Among the four players selected for the training for the first time, Zeng Fanbo is the most familiar to fans, and he has also shown his talent many times in the game of Beijing Shougang, especially in the focus battle with Liaoning, because he has too little ball possession, and it has also caused a public opinion storm questioning the Shougang coaching staff.
The other three, Jiao Poqiao also belongs to the bouncing type inside, although it is the first year of stepping on the CBA field, his characteristics of daring to impact are still very significant, but the finishing shooting rate is not high. Choi Yonghee, who is on the same team, is also talented, and relatively speaking, the offensive success rate is good. The last Cui Xiaolong, in the Jiangsu team, he still got more playing time, so you can see data such as 17 points and 10 assists, but the average shooting rate of 40% per game, less than 30% of three-point shooting rate, and 2.7 turnovers, it seems that the selection is basically to accompany the run.
Overall, Qiao Shuai's selection this time basically followed two principles. The first point is to pick some from previous national team members. The second point is to love young people with excellent athletic ability. Analyzing the reasons behind it, some clues can be seen from Qiao Shuai's public selection criteria, and he first makes one clear, that is, to have defensive ability and enthusiasm. Secondly, he said he needed 12 players who could fit together. Based on these two points, when it is not a comprehensive understanding of each player, it is necessary to select among the past national team members, so data such as Hu Mingxuan and Wu Qian are a little "collapsed", but highly motivated players, there is no problem in being selected again, and the next thing is to see how Qiao Shuai builds confidence for them and adjusts their presence to the best.
After the list was released, Qiao Shuai also responded, saying: "I hope that through this call-up, China's talented young players will strengthen their understanding and let them know what kind of quality is the priority of the national team." "To put it bluntly, this time the assembly is to accompany Qiao Shuai to train troops, after having already obtained the World Cup ticket, the matches against Kazakhstan and Iran on February 23 and 26 respectively is to let Qiao Shuai know more about the habits of players, the most important task, or the next men's basketball World Cup main game, how to try to get the Paris Olympics ticket.
Finally, although the Chinese men's basketball team is already in the downside on the world stage, young potential players are emerging, and before they are fully finalized, they hope to be able to develop well, especially young players like Lin Wei, Zeng Fanbo and Yang Hansen.
