The 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team is basically finalized! Qiao Shuai Yao Ming made a clear request, and Xu Jie expressed his domineering attitude
On February 16, Beijing time, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year of the Dragon in 2024, the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, and many CBA clubs have also started the third phase of assembly and preparation, and the players of the Chinese men's basketball team are also very hard, they have already started training in Qingdao, Qiao Shuai is very satisfied with the 16 men's basketball players selected for the training camp, in the past 5 days, Qiao Shuai focused on tactical drills for men's basketball players, including strengthening basic skills training, focusing on practicing passing and receiving coordination, blocking and dismantling, free throws and shooting between the march.
First, let's take a look at the list of 16 players selected for the camp. Defenders: Zhao Jiwei, Liao Sanning, Cheng Shuaipeng, Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie, Cui Yongxi (Swing Guards); Forwards: Abdusalam, Zhao Jiayi, Qi Lin, Wang Ruize, Zhu Junlong, Du Runwang; Inside: Hu Jinqiu, Yu Jiahao, Yang Hansen, Fu Hao (big forward);
Of course, this training list is not the strongest team of the Chinese men's basketball team, many players such as Zhao Rui, Guo Allen, Sun Minghui and Zhang Zhenlin are unable to participate in the training camp because of injuries, so Qiao Shuai gave more young people opportunities. Considering that the two opponents in this Asian preliminary round are Mongolia and Japan men's basketball team, Coach Djordjevic recruited many newcomers according to the characteristics of these two teams, as well as Xu Jie and others who failed to be selected for the national team last year.
At present, the men's basketball training camp has entered a white-hot stage, and the team has begun to be divided into the red team, the green team and the gray team for internal confrontation, and Qiao Shuai has basically finalized the 12-person squad after internal competitions. My personal prediction: Zhao Jiayi, Du Runwang, Wang Ruize, and Fu Hao may be streamlined out.
The reason is very simple, our first opponent this time, the Mongolian men's basketball team, is very weak, and the Chinese men's basketball team can win the opponent by more than 30 points even if it sends the second and third teams, so Qiao Shuai will give more post-00 players a chance. The overall height of the second opponent Japanese men's basketball team is not high, Qiao Shuai needs to strengthen the guard lineup, and Xu Jie's height is very suitable for playing, his smart and tough defense and accurate three-point can effectively help the Chinese men's basketball team, so Qiao Shuai will leave Xu Jie and others, and give up some forward players.
In addition, Du Runwang and Fu Hao's performance in the national team last year was average, Du Runwang only had three-point projection ability, the defense was too poor, the movement was slow, and the Japanese men's basketball team that played smart would suffer, and this season, his performance in the league was also very bad, the three-point shooting rate was very low, and the probability of him being streamlined out was very high.
I personally predict that Zhao Jiwei will continue to serve as the captain of the 12-man men's basketball team in this issue, and the main force of Qiao Shuai's system will be Zhao Jiwei + Hu Mingxuan + Abdul Salamu + Hu Jinqiu, of course, it will also focus on cultivating Yang Hansen, because this player is the most likely to enter the NBA league.
Before the start of this training camp, Yao Ming, as the leader of the men's basketball team, made many statements: the Chinese men's basketball team has derailed from world basketball, and through the exchange of international competitions, we can find that world basketball is developing rapidly. If we don't have a clearer understanding, if we don't have a change in consciousness, then we will fall further behind. Yao Ming very much hopes that we can improve the level we deserve, and at the same time, I also hope to see a new leader in the Chinese men's basketball team. I think this leader is likely to be the promising Yang Hansen, because Qiao Shuai has praised Yang Hansen many times as a young man with great potential, and we need to help him become better.
It is worth mentioning that this time we are looking forward to the Asian preliminaries and the Japanese men's basketball team, and the game will start in less than a week. Next, I will work harder to climb the ladder, and I also hope to contribute to the Chinese men's basketball team. Xu Jie, a player, is very passionate when he plays the Japanese men's basketball team, and his performance against the Japanese men's basketball team during the national team coached by Du Feng is very eye-catching, just like what he left on social media: When you meet your opponent again, you will fight to the death, do your best, and win glory for the country.
