Don't look at the Chinese men's basketball team, there are no serious international games to play this year, but the quality of the warm-up games is surprisingly high.
First of all, during the May Day period, the Chinese men's basketball team once again held a short-term mini training camp, mainly recruiting players who have completed the tasks of this season's games, such as Yang Han, Lin Wei, Zeng Fanbo and others.
After the finals of this season, the Chinese men's basketball team will conduct an official training camp, pull a large number of people to Australia to train first, and play warm-up games with the local NBL team, and even the Australian men's basketball team.
Then the real highlight, the Chinese men's basketball team will compete in the NBA Summer League again after 5 years.
This specification, people who don't know will really think that the Chinese men's basketball team is preparing for this year's Paris Olympics.
But it's definitely a good thing that the warm-up games are of high quality and can compete against NBA-level teams.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young people led by Yang Hansen to grow up quickly, which is several times better than their own special training.
Players like Lin Wei, Zeng Fanbo, and Cui Yongxi, who are about to enter the third year, must seize the opportunity to compete with strong opponents, and maybe they will be completely opened up by others, and they will begin to achieve a qualitative leap next season.
The last time the Chinese men's basketball team played the NBA Summer League was back in 2019, when the World Cup was held at our doorstep, Guo Allen, Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang were still in the team, Zhou Qi was just cut by the Rockets, and the lineup was extremely strong and had high hopes.
In the 19th NBA Summer League, the Chinese men's basketball team won 1 win and 4 losses, and narrowly defeated the Hornets 84-80 in the third game, tying the record when they first participated in the game in 2017.
During this period, Allen Guo was the best player on the team, averaging 15.7 points, 3.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game.
The most talked-about scene is that Guo Allen shook off Hornets player Cody Martin.
The video has been viewed more than one million times on foreign social media, and many fans have given Allen Guo a nickname: "Flying Dragon!" - Flying Dragon.
It's a pity that things are not people.
Guo Allen, who once played in the NBA Summer League like a thousand flowers, did not touch a leaf, but withdrew from the national team at the age of 30 due to injury, and even his career was in jeopardy.
For the Chinese men's basketball team's warm-up game arrangement this summer, I believe no one has any opinions, they are all satisfied and there are a little surprises.
The only thing that is deeply puzzling is, why is Qiao Shuai's life so hard?
Last year, he led the team to the worst result in the World Cup in team history, lost the gold medal in the Asian Games, and this year led the team to lose to the Japanese men's basketball team in the Asian preliminary round some time ago.
casually take one out and put it on Tushuai, and either be sprayed to resign or obediently apply for resignation.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team's series of training and warm-up tasks this summer are all still led by Qiao Shuai......
I remember that after losing to the Japanese men's basketball team, everyone, including all official media, thought that this was Qiao Shuai's last game in charge of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The atmosphere has been created, just wait for the official announcement of the end of class, I never thought that this guy would suddenly come back if he didn't talk about martial arts.
When Yao Ming was traveling abroad, did Qiao Shuai block Gatling's strafing for him? The two of them may really have some ulterior secrets, otherwise how could the latter stay in office again and again?
Not to mention that Qiao Shuai's contract only expired in August.
If it is destined to leave class, it is not suitable to lead the national team to the north and south this summer, but to find a new coach to replace him immediately.
Coaches and players also need chemistry, and the game is the best grinding agent.
Aren't the lessons of the temporary change of coach before the Chinese men's basketball tournament last year painful enough?
