The Chinese men's basketball team officially announced the 16-member training list: Zhao Jiwei led Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin was defeated, and Yang Hansen and other newcomers were selected
On February 7, Beijing time, with the official conclusion of the second phase of the CBA competition, the Chinese men's basketball Asian preliminary training squad was announced, led by Zhao Jiwei, Zhou Qi, Guo Allen, Wang Zhelin and Zhang Zhenlin and other famous players were defeated. Yang Hansen and many other newcomers were selected for the Chinese men's basketball training camp, so it is natural that Djordjevic intends to train newcomers, after all, the difficulty of the Asian preliminaries is not too great.
Chinese men's basketball training squad: Zhao Jiwei, Fu Hao, Abudu, Qi Lin, Cheng Shuaipeng, Yu Jiahao, Hu Jinqiu, Zhu Junlong, Hu Mingxuan, Du Runqing, Xu Jie, Liao Sanning, Yang Hansen, Wang Ruize, Zhao Jiayi, Cui Yongxi.
The performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in 2023 is extremely bad, even if the European coach Djordjevic is hired and the naturalized player Li Kaier is introduced for the first time in history, but it has not been able to achieve satisfactory expected results. The Chinese men's basketball team ranked 29th in the Basketball World Cup, creating the worst result in history, not only missing the Paris Olympics, but even losing the qualification to participate in the Olympic qualifying round. In the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team only won the bronze medal, and it was disappointing again to miss the title, especially in the semifinals, which was defeated by the Philippine men's basketball team by 20 points.
As for the 2024 Chinese men's basketball team, there will only be 4 Asian preliminaries, including two in February and two in November, namely:
February 22, 2024 China vs Mongolia
February 25, 2024 Japan vs China
November 21, 2024 China vs Guam
November 24, 2024 Mongolia vs China
The Chinese men's basketball team's current training squad is to prepare for the Asian preliminaries in late February, and the first game will be played at home against the Mongolian men's basketball team on February 22, which is basically not difficult. The second game is the away game against the Japanese men's basketball team on February 25, although the two NBA stars of the Japanese men's basketball team, Hachimura and Yuta Watanabe, are absent, but the Japanese men's basketball team will still take the Basketball World Cup lineup as the main team, so the game will be the most test of the Chinese men's basketball Asian preliminaries.
Compared with the national team lineup in 2023, many famous players of the Chinese men's basketball team are absent, and Guo Allen is absent again due to injury. As for Wang Zhelin, Zhang Zhenlin and other players who were criticized by public opinion last year, they were also not included in the training list, and Zhou Qi was also absent. Led by Abudu and Zhao Jiwei, as well as Yang Hansen, Wang Ruize and many other newcomers were selected.
Attached is the list of participants of the Chinese men's basketball team in two competitions last year
World Cup squad: Zhao Jiwei, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Zhu Junlong, Cui Yongxi, Zhang Zhenlin, Li Kaier, Zhou Peng, Fu Hao, Zhou Qi, Hu Jinqiu, Wang Zhelin.
Asian Games squad: Zhao Rui, Zhao Jiwei, Cheng Shuaipeng, Hu Mingxuan, Zhang Zhenlin, Cui Yongxi, Zeng Fanbo (replaced by Du Runwang due to injury), Zhu Junlong, Fu Hao, Hu Jinqiu, Yu Jiahao, Wang Zhelin.
