On January 19, Beijing time, the Chinese men's basketball team officially announced the latest 18-person training roster, Wu Qian, Cheng Shuaipeng, Zhao Jiwei, Guo Allen, Zhang Zhenlin, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Zeng Fanbo, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, Zhu Xuhang, Hu Jinqiu, Zhu Junlong, Zhu Mingzhen, Jiao Boqiao, Cui Yongxi, Cui Xiaolong, Zhou Qi, these 18 people were selected. Every time the Chinese men's basketball team announces the training list, it will cause heated discussions, and this time is no exception.
Many of these 18 people have been selected for the training list of the previous Chinese men's basketball team, and Cheng Shuaipeng, Zeng Fanbo, Zhu Xuhang, Jiao Boqiao, Cui Yongxi, Cui Xiaolong These 6 people are selected for the training list for the first time. The three people of Cheng Shuaipeng, Zeng Fanbo, and Zhu Xuhang are also familiar to fans, while Jiao Boqiao, Cui Yongxi, and Cui Xiaolong are relatively unfamiliar. As for the other 12 people, fans have also known their strength from past World Qualifiers. Allen Guo, Zhang Zhenlin, Zhao Rui, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, Hu Jinqiu, Zhu Junlong and Zhou Qi should be considered to be well deserved, they are the best in their respective positions, and their performance in the previous World Preliminary Round is quite good. Wu Qian, Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Jiwei, Zhu Mingzhen, these four people have previously performed poorly in the World Qualifiers, and their selection has caused dissatisfaction among fans.
The first is Hu Mingxuan, Hu Mingxuan after winning the CBA Finals MVP, his state decline is very obvious, whether in the league or the national team, Hu Mingxuan almost has no sense of existence. In international competitions, Hu Mingxuan can be said to be frequently playing iron on the offensive end, and repeatedly leaking people on the defensive end. Many fans are questioning that Hu Mingxuan was selected for the national team because Du Feng was crony, and now that the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team has been replaced by Jordjevic, Hu Mingxuan's re-selection is indeed quite confusing.
The second is Zhao Jiwei and Wu Qian, these two are the MVPs of the CBA in the past two years, they are both top guards in China, but in the international competition, these two people are relatively thin in the physical aspect, and often perform very spicy eyes when facing the opponent's high-pressure defense, so the selection of Zhao Jiwei and Wu Qian is also controversial.
Zhu Mingzhen has represented the Chinese men's basketball team in two World Preliminary Tournaments, and because he is a mixed-race player, he has become the brightest one in the Chinese men's basketball team, but in the few World Preliminary Games in which Zhu Mingzhen played, he almost sat on the bench and did not show his strong strength. Therefore, many fans think that since Zhu Mingzhen is dispensable, the Chinese men's basketball team might as well eliminate him and send a lineup.
Of course, there are still a few players who were not selected for the Chinese men's basketball training list, which makes fans feel quite a pity. Like Lin Wei and Wang Lanrong of Tongxi's dark horse team Tongxi this season, the two of them are the most watched young players in the CBA today, and their performance is very good, and if they can enter the training list, they may surprise everyone.
The most regrettable thing for fans is that Tao Hanlin of the Shandong men's basketball team was once again selected into the training list of the Chinese men's basketball team. Tao Hanlin seems to have always been out of touch with the Chinese men's basketball team, and when Du Feng was coaching, he never gained favor, but he did not expect that after the head coach was changed to Jordjevic, Tao Hanlin still did not get a chance.
The sixth window of the World Preliminary Tournament will be held next month, when the 18-man squad will eventually be reduced to about 14, and it will be interesting to see who will be selected for the final squad.
