The Chinese men's basketball team is actively training, preparing for the World Cup at the end of this month, in the main lineup, some players are very famous, but in fact have not proven themselves in international competitions, at least 3 people are overrated, all from Liaoning and Guangdong teams, are CBA star level, one is not good at playing hard battles, one person has rough technology, some players have excellent physical fitness, but the technology and ability to read the game are average, some players have outstanding ball intelligence, but the body is too thin, resulting in poor performance in the international arena, Let's talk about it specifically.
The first place is Zhao Jiwei, since Gong Luming coached, was promoted unexpectedly, from the substitute of the Liaoning team, directly became the national team starter, was entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the 15 Asian Championships, since then the men's basketball coach has changed many times, but Zhao Jiwei has always been the starting lineup of the iron fight, until Qiao Shuai coached, Zhao Jiwei has been reused like never before, during the World Preliminary Round, Qiao Shuai let Guo Allen play as a substitute for him, Zhao Jiwei obtained absolute ball possession and has the right to dominate the attack.
Although you are the most valuable player in the league two finals, but Zhao Jiwei has never proved himself in international competitions, participated in the Olympic Games, the World Cup, the performance can only be described as decent, the last Olympic Games lost, Zhao Jiwei as the main controller, in the face of high-intensity defense, even possession of the ball has become a problem, but Hu Mingxuan averaged 20 points per game, at least proved himself on the offensive end, can not completely use height as an excuse, Puerto Rico's Waters is only 178 centimeters tall, The same shines under the defense of the dream team, Zhao Jiwei's personal offensive ability and confrontation ability are worse.
The second place is Zhao Rui, since his debut has been known as a defensive gate, in the Guangdong team is so, the height reaches 195 cm, the body is relatively strong, the ability to resist is relatively strong, but his ability to read the defense is not strong, from the previous warm-up game, Zhao Rui is often passed by the opponent step by step, especially when the defense is removed, most of the time can not squeeze, but choose to bypass from behind, the effect is not too good, often appear behind the defender, in the defensive end in a disadvantageous position, in fact, he is just physically excellent, Defensive awareness is not good.
Because the opponents in the warm-up game are relatively tall, Qiao Shuai gave Zhao Rui a lot of opportunities, often let him play as the starter, but Zhao Rui playing the No. 1 position organizational ability is not enough, although the body is strong, but rarely to break through the ball, his ability to control the ball is average, far from the level of Allen Guo, before Zhao Rui practiced two-handed dribbling on the sidelines, as can be seen from the video, not very skillful, and even some amateur, you can go to see Allen Guo's ball control, more gorgeous than street players, although these skills are not used on the field, but at least you need to have this ability, Zhao Rui still needs to improve.
The third place is Zhang Zhenlin, playing in the league for three seasons, Zhang Zhenlin's progress can be seen with the naked eye, although he has been training the ability to hold the ball, but the improvement is not much, before against Croatia, two games won 20+, but then the state plummeted, in addition to the problem of mentality, more or technical deficiencies, you can compare Zhang Zhenlin and Li Kaier's breakthrough, Zhang Zhenlin's change of direction is relatively small, it is difficult to shake the defender, related to his shorter arm span, Li Kyle's arm span is very prominent, Being able to break through the basket more easily, Zhang Zhenlin's sense of rhythm is not very good.
In the recent warm-up games, Zhang Zhenlin struggled on the offensive end, the shooting rate was very low, the breakthrough could not get rid of the opponent, only one-on-one step back jumper, against the interference of defenders to shoot, the efficiency can be imagined, unless it can reach Doncic's strength, Zhang Zhenlin's stability in breaking through the layup is also insufficient, often trying to break through the basket dunk, but the effect is not good, he can not complete the left hand dunk, after the breakthrough always switch to the right hand, resulting in often being destroyed by the opponent, the feel of the layup is not soft enough, the stability after the confrontation is very poor, The defense is not as good as expected, he is 24 years old this year, and if he cannot continue to improve, I am afraid that he will be surpassed by Wang Junjie and other juniors.
It is undeniable that the above 3 people are working hard, but let them be the core, can not hold up, at least so far have not proved themselves, Zhao Jiwei trapped in the height of the short, encountered a tall lineup, the disadvantage is very large, Zhao Rui's physical fitness is no problem, but the attitude on the court, and the ability to read the game need to be strengthened, Zhang Zhenlin is not too young, in recent years for him is very critical, need to quickly improve himself, otherwise it is difficult to become the core of the men's basketball team.
