The Chinese men's basketball team has a long history, and the most outstanding and accomplished position is the No. 5 position. Mu Tiezhu in the earliest period, Liu Yudong, Wang Zhizhi, Batel, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi. All are key figures representing a period in the number five. In the latest selection of the three major centers of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 21st century, except for Yao Ming, who was undisputed, the other two were not unanimously elected. Mu Tiezhu was not selected because he was not a basketball talent in the 21st century, and Liu Yudong was also in the later stage of his career after entering the 21st century, so he was not in this selection. The shortlist for this selection is Yao Ming, Batel, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi.
First: Yao Ming was selected without suspense, with the highest achievements, and the strongest ability to lead the national team.
The Yao Ming period was a glorious era for the Chinese men's basketball team, with the 08 Olympic Games almost reaching the final four, and also won the World Cup and the top eight of the World Championship many times. In Asia is the existence of the ruling class. He is also the first scorer of the men's basketball team in the 08 period, the world's most well-known player, selected as the most influential player in world basketball, and inducted into the NBA League Hall of Fame.
Yao Ming is the only player who exists, and the selection is also the least controversial player. It can be said that since the retirement of the 96 golden generation, Yao Ming is the main reliance to lead the transformation of the Chinese men's basketball team from a small fast spirit to an inside, and it is also a reform of the Chinese men's basketball team's playing style.
Second: Wang Zhizhi's selection is not controversial, and Yao Ming's most trusted big brother.
Wang Zhizhi debuted earlier than Yao Ming, but retired many years away from Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi is the first Chinese player to enter the US professional basketball team, and is called the No. 5 player with the most flexible and fast movement by NBA scouts. He had a career in the national team earlier than Yao Ming, and was the absolute main player of the No. 5 position in the Chinese men's basketball team before Yao Ming. And when Yao Ming opened the 08 golden generation, he was also the main fourth and fifth players of the national team, Yao Ming's main substitute, and the best partner around Yao Ming.
Enter the national team earlier than Yao Ming, but retire later, after Yao Ming's retirement, the Chinese men's basketball team fell into the trough of performance, 08 golden generation of old players have retired one after another, young players did not stand out players emerged, in that difficult period, Wang Zhizhi is the spiritual leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, although the state is not as good as the peak, but still use their own game experience to lead the not strong Chinese men's basketball team forward.
Third: Yi Jianlian's voice is very high, Bartel's achievements are the highest, and Zhou Qi's men's basketball team is hopeful.
The remaining place is very controversial, Battle has NBA championship results, and was once used by Popovich as a template for O'Neal to help the team in training, Battle is undoubtedly the most physically talented player, but Bartel's shortcomings are poor personal body management, not a self-disciplined player, although he has a strong body, but undisciplined living habits make him suffer from diabetes early, because of this disease, resulting in Wang Zhizhi's competitive state decline significantly, The time has come to the end of his career before he is at his peak, otherwise he will be selected without suspense with his talent.
Yi Jianlian is a representative of modern Chinese men's basketball team, and his basketball achievements are also not low, once a starter in the NBA, and is the player with the highest personal achievement in the NBA except Yao Ming. After Wang Zhizhi retired, Yi Jianlian took on the role of the spiritual leader of the Chinese men's basketball team for a long time.
Zhou Qi is the future hope of the men's basketball team, the physical talent is deeply affirmed by the NBA, the arm span even exceeds the men's basketball predecessor Yao Ming, is an absolute talent to eat players, but Zhou Qi's personality is too obvious, and even in recent years because of the unpleasantness with the Xinjiang men's basketball team has led to many years of no ball, although the individual has been training, but compared to the club's formal training, Zhou Qi's personal training still cannot guarantee the quality.
To summarize:
First of all, Yao Ming does have the strength of the first person in the men's basketball team, and Wang Zhizhi is also a player who has been a spiritual leader in the No. 5 position for a long time since the 21st century. Although Bartel's career is not long, he is also a pure No. 5 position, and his achievements are far higher than Zhou Qi. And Yi Jianlian is more of a No. 4 existence, and it is reasonable that Bartel has not competed in the selection of No. 5. In this regard, what are your views on Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Battle being elected as the three major centers of the men's basketball team in the 21st century, welcome to exchange in the comment area.
