The Chinese men's basketball team played against Mongolia and Japan! It was revealed that the starting 5 tigers were released, Yao Mingliangjian and Zhao Jiwei made a domineering statement
The 2024 Asian Cup qualifiers have started, and according to the schedule, at 19:30 Beijing time on February 22, the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Mongolian men's basketball team will be played at the home stadium of Xi'an on time. Waiting for the game to end, the Chinese men's basketball team will fly non-stop to Tokyo to start the second game with the Japanese men's basketball team.
According to the current 14-man roster announced by the Chinese men's basketball team, Qiao Shuai basically finalized the starting 5 tigers in his mind. My personal prediction is that Qiao Shuai's starting 5 tigers against Mongolia are: Zhao Jiwei, Cui Yongxi, Zhu Junlong, Abdul Salamu (PF), Hu Jinqiu;
Although the strength of the Mongolian men's basketball team is very poor, and we are no longer at the same level, but considering that it is a home game, Qiao Shuai needs to get the opening advantage steadily, so this lineup is balanced in attack and defense, and there are three aces Zhao Jiwei, Abdul Salamu and Hu Jinqiu in charge, which can quickly establish a double-digit lead, and when the score is gradually pulled away and the suspense is lost, or into the second half of the game, Qiao Shuai will give more post-00s and players who have never appeared in the national team a chance to play, give them the opportunity to exercise, and increase the experience of continental competitions.
In the second away game against the Japanese men's basketball team, I personally predict that Qiao Shuai will change his formation slightly, and the starters will become: Zhao Jiwei, Hu Mingxuan, Zhu Junlong, Fu Hao, Hu Jinqiu;
Because the Japanese men's basketball team is a small fast team, and Hu Mingxuan's defensive ability is definitely stronger than Cui Yongxi, and Hu Mingxuan has more experience in international competitions than Cui Yongxi, has superior ability to hold the ball and counterattack, and knows how to play the Japanese men's basketball team. And Fu Hao is 2.06 meters tall, which is also the standard height of a big forward, he is taller than Abdu Salamu and is more suitable for playing the No. 4 position, so that our interior height is guaranteed, and Fu Hao's basket and low post ability is stronger than Abdu Salamu, and his frontal three-point ability can also open up space for the Chinese men's basketball team.
Moreover, the Japanese men's basketball team is not a weak team, they have entered the main match of the Paris Olympics, and Qiao Shuai needs to ensure that he wins the game. Of course, I think Qiao Shuai will be relatively flexible in the use of starters and substitutes in this game, such as Xu Jie, Cheng Shuaipeng, Wang Ruize and Yang Hansen will definitely be used. Xu Jie is smart, accurate three-pointers, and knows how to play the Japanese men's basketball team, his performance when Du Feng coached the national team, even better than Zhao Jiwei, can also be called the nemesis of the small guard of the Japanese men's basketball team. Cheng Shuaipeng and Wang Ruize are young, comprehensive in attack and defense, and excellent in holding the ball, and they will be good at tearing apart Japan's joint defense system.
Not to mention Yang Hansen, the most promising Chinese player to play in the NBA is also trained as Yi Jianlian's successor. I believe that the substitute Yang Hansen will not play less than 20 minutes per game.
At present, the top basketball leagues in the world are undoubtedly the NBA and WNBA, and the two hands of our domestic men's basketball players entering the NBA can be counted, and now there is no one, only the naturalized player Li Kaier is a role player in the NBA. And our women's basketball players are obviously much better than the men's basketball team, and there are also several main players competing in the WNBA league.
Therefore, the Chinese men's basketball team is determined to win the two games of the Asian Cup qualifiers, and the main reason is that our men's basketball team has already missed the Paris Olympics, so the key task of the national team is to aim at the new continental competition. The Chinese men's basketball team not only has to strive for good results, but also completes the replacement of the old and the new, so the task of head coach Djordjevic is still relatively heavy. In this regard, Yao Ming decided to serve as the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team again, and he also personally flew to Xi'an with the men's basketball team to urge the team to get off to a good start at home. Then, Yao Ming will also lead the men's basketball team to fly to Japan.
During his tenure as team leader, Yao Ming would also come to the training ground to watch the internal confrontation of the men's basketball team, and if he had the opportunity, he would personally guide the offensive steps of young players under the basket, guide young players to shoot free throws, etc. However, in last year's Hangzhou Asian Games, Yao Ming was the team leader, and he also personally picked up the ball for Wang Zhelin at the training ground, and guided the king's free throws, but in the later games, Wang Zhelin's overall free throw level did not improve. As Zhao Jiwei said: The Chinese men's basketball team is younger, there are many new faces, and I hope that all players can go all out to complete the task.
