The Chinese men's basketball team roster was announced! Yao Mingqiao made a domineering statement, 7 main forces were out, and Du Feng had a showdown
On February 8, Beijing time, with the end of the second phase of the CBA, various clubs entered the window period, and the players also ushered in the Spring Festival holiday. But for the Chinese men's basketball team, this Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon is a new starting point, and the head coaches Yao Ming and Djordjevic are also the latest to announce the new training squad for the 2024 Asian Cup Qualifiers, with a total of 16 players selected.
Guard: Zhao Jiwei, Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie, Liao Sanning, Cheng Shuaipeng, Cui Yongxi; Forward: Abdusalam, Qi Lin, Zhu Junlong, Zhao Jiayi, Wang Ruize, Du Runwang; Inside: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hansen, Yu Jiahao, Fu Hao (big forward);
It can be seen from this list that Zhao Jiwei will continue to serve as the captain, he is also the oldest player in the team, the age of the men's basketball team is younger, and many post-00 players have gradually become the main force of the Chinese men's basketball team. Of course, the players on this list are all from the top 10 teams in the CBA league, and there are no players from the bottom 10 teams for the time being, which also shows that our league stars are not bright enough, and even the men's basketball team has problems such as lack of success.
Comparing last year's World Cup and Asian Games, and comparing the men's basketball lineup during Du Feng's coaching period, we found that the men's basketball team had 7 main outs, including Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Zhao Rui, Guo Allen, Sun Minghui, Zhang Zhenlin, and Gu Quan. These players were also the absolute main force of Du Feng's coaching of the national team, but now they are all temporarily out of the national team due to injuries and declining competitive conditions. It can also be seen that Yao Ming and Djordjevic are determined to complete the important task of replacing the old and the new.
Djordjevic's head coach and team leader Yao Ming said in an interview with the media that the men's basketball training list has changed a lot this time, mainly because many players in the league have injuries and some other reasons, which led to the failure of these players to be selected in this list. In the future, when their physical conditions allow, we will still welcome them with open arms as usual. At the same time, the young players in our team also need to experience growth in the international competition of the national team, to enrich their wings and to make progress.
The main reason for this year's training camp is different from the previous ones is that we need to win, and we need to look to the future. The Asian Cup qualifiers are more about giving young players the opportunity to gain experience in international competitions. At the same time, we will also try to qualify for the Asian Cup.
Of course, many fans are also discussing the list of men's basketball training camps in this issue, you must know that there was no Xu Jie in the list of last year's World Cup and Asian Games, and Djordjevic liked the tall lineup style of play at that time. Last year, Xu Jie's performance in the league was very bright, and he was also the absolute main force of the Guangdong men's basketball team at that time. Even in the playoffs, he carried the banner of the team and was responsible for the team's offense at the final decisive moment, but Xu Jie's overall performance in the CBA league this season was not particularly outstanding. So I don't understand, why don't you choose a player when he is doing well? But now when he is performing in the league, you think of this player? Moreover, I don't understand why you should bring Du Runwang, who is performing poorly in the league?
A lot of fans wondered what Djordjevic's selection and employment criteria were, and I think it was a surprise that there were two players on this list who didn't make the list. First of all, the first person is He Xining of the Shenzhen men's basketball team, he led the team to defeat the Guangdong men's basketball team in the closing game of the Spring Festival war in the second stage, and beat Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie in the opposite position, he scored 44 points in a single game, which is enough to prove his super scoring ability, and the defense is also a big soldier, he was not selected, which made me very surprised.
Second: Nanjing Tongxi men's basketball team's post-00 star Lin Wei, he also has super scoring ability, this time he was not selected also surprised to me, since it is a training young player, then I think Lin Wei, who has a big heart, can also come to the training camp to hone his skills.
Of course, Qiao Shuai has his own concept of material selection. In this Asian Cup qualifiers, our opponents are Mongolia and Japan, and Qiao Shuai is very confident that he will lead the team to two consecutive victories. Du Feng also made a showdown early on: The overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is above that of the Japanese team, we missed the Paris Olympics, and the overall performance in the World Cup is not the real level of the Chinese men's basketball team. During Du Feng's coaching period, he led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the Japanese men's basketball team twice, and both won by more than 20 points, so after the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon, it was time to test Qiao Shuai's real coaching ability.
