The Chinese men's basketball team vs. the Japanese team! The three new stars rise, Yao Mingqiao sets the goal, and Du Feng has a showdown
The Chinese men's basketball team has been training in Qingdao for a week, and there are currently three new star players who have been approved by head coach Djordjevic. According to the schedule of the 2024 Asian Cup qualifiers, at 13 o'clock on February 25, Beijing time, the Chinese men's basketball team will play a match with the Japanese men's basketball team away from home.
Because in the pre-game training camp, the head coach of the Japanese men's basketball team, Horwas, was interviewed by reporters, and he said: We have a clear goal in this training camp. First of all, the last time we lost to the Chinese men's basketball team, this time the Japanese men's basketball team wants to win back, what we have to do is "revenge".
Secondly, the coach of the Japanese men's basketball team also talked about the goal of the Paris Olympics, we want to get through the group stage and then get to the quarterfinals through the second round of the competition, which is something that the Japanese men's basketball team has never done before, which is quite difficult, but I think our team can do it at the moment. Because the addition of NBA player Hachimura will be a huge help to us, he is quite experienced, he is also quite capable, he is also playing well with the Lakers, he is more than ordinary in height and strength, and he will also be very suitable for the style of the Japanese men's national basketball team.
It can be seen that the Japanese men's basketball team is still very ambitious at the moment, they are not satisfied with doing well in the Asian Cup, and they have set a long-term goal to finish in the top eight of the Olympic Games. Before Djordjevic was not the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, the team led by Du Feng, the former head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, won by more than 20 points in the previous two meetings with the Japanese men's basketball team.
This is enough to see that the Chinese men's basketball team is still dominant in Asian basketball, and our team is still very experienced in playing the Japanese team, and if we don't win 20 points in each game, we can't explain it to the fans. So, this time there is a certain amount of pressure on Djordjevic as a manager. After all, in last year's World Cup and Hangzhou Asian Games, Qiao Shuai's performance in leading the team was very bad, and it was Yao Ming who withstood the pressure and trusted Qiao Shuai, so he was able to keep his position.
In addition, compared with Du Feng's national team, many of the main players are now absent from the training squad due to injury, such as Guo Allen, Zhao Rui, Sun Minghui, Zhou Qi and others, and Wang Zhelin and Zhang Zhenlin and other main men's basketball players did not participate in the training camp, it can also be said that now the men's basketball team is more like a second team, which will test Djordjevic's ability to cultivate newcomers, many players in the team are post-00s, and they also relatively lack experience in continental events.
However, there is good news that Yang Hansen, Liao Sanning and Qi Lin, who are currently in the men's basketball training camp, have performed quite well, and they are very likely to be selected for the 12-man squad and play in the game against the Japanese men's basketball team.
Post-00 Yang Hansen is regarded as the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he is also the local player with the best chance of entering the NBA league. Qiao Shuai is currently very optimistic about Yang Hansen, and he also attaches great importance to him, this Asian Cup qualifiers, Yang Hansen and Hu Jinqiu will carry the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Liao Sanning is also a post-00 generation, his performance in the CBA league in the first two stages of this season is very outstanding, and he has made great contributions to the winning streak of the Beijing Control men's basketball team, Liao Sanning is 1.92 meters tall and has a great advantage in playing guards, with excellent arm span, and he is also a player who integrates offense and defense, and he is particularly good at leading the team to play a quick counterattack. Therefore, Qiao Shuai admires Liao Sanning very much.
Qi Lin was born in 1999, and this season he showed his might in the Xinjiang men's basketball team, averaging 18.3 points and 3 rebounds per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 41%, which is also the highest in the league.
In summary, because the Chinese men's basketball team missed the Paris Olympics, Du Feng also had a showdown, and the Chinese men's basketball team did not play at a normal level in the World Cup, and the performance should not be like this. Therefore, this qualifier is a new starting point, Yao Ming continues to serve as the leader of the men's basketball team, the team has the same goal, and is bound to win two consecutive victories, Qiao Shuai also needs to prove himself and help the Chinese men's basketball team complete the replacement of the old and the new.
