For fans of the Chinese men's basketball team, there are a lot of highlights recently, the CBA semifinals are wonderful, the men's basketball short training camp is also in full swing, judging from the performance of the playoffs, the new Chinese men's basketball team starters have emerged, and the 4 semifinals can say it all. Black and white dual control is expected to be combined, the men's basketball real core is about to return, Zhou Qi shined in the playoffs, played dominance under the basket, he is likely to change the trend of the Liaoyue series, he is still an indispensable member in the second stage of this year's Asian preliminaries, and is expected to start as follows.
The starting center is Zhou Qi, 28 years old this year, 216 cm tall, averaging 16.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and averaging 5 frontcourt rebounds per game, ranking first in the league. His influence on the game is huge, after his comeback, the whole Guangdong team was activated, Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie on the outside line three points rain, even Zhang Haojia hit a three-point shot, with a point to bring face, Zhou Qi revitalized the team's offense. With Zhou Qizhen guarding the basket, the rebounding ball is guaranteed, the outside line can boldly attack, and he can also attack in the low post, and he is still the best candidate on the inside.
The big forward is Abdul Salamu, 27 years old this year, 203 cm tall, averaging 13.3 points, 13 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and is the first rebound in the semifinals. As the MVP of the regular season, he is still solid in the playoffs, even if the offensive end has declined, the defense is still very strong, he has three-point ability, in the 18 Asian Games finals, he hit three-pointers many times, scored 20+ data, and led the team to win the championship. Qiao Shuai likes to use a tall pitcher like Du Runwang, but considering the balance of offense and defense, Salamu seems to be more suitable.
The small forward is Zhang Zhenlin, 25 years old this year, 208 cm tall, averaging 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. With his height, his ability to hold the ball is already outstanding, and Tao Hanlin and Zou Yuchen, who are close to his height, are both inside, but he needs to be more resolute. In the last game facing Zhou Qi's defense, Zhang Zhenlin rarely broke through with the ball, afraid of Zhou Qi's block, and in the international arena, there are many centers of Zhou Qi's level, and Zhang Zhenlin needs to be tougher.
The scoring guard is Hu Mingxuan, 26 years old this year, 193 cm tall, averaging 20.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 49% and a free throw shooting rate of 90%. In the previous national team, Qiao Shuai liked to use Cui Yongxi to play the second position, but he is still very young, Hu Mingxuan is more mature, he is close to his peak, and he is very impactful at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The organizational guard is Zhao Rui, 28 years old this year, 195 cm tall, averaging 18.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2 steals per game. He has proven himself many times, the last World Cup was the team's second scorer, second only to Li Kaier, he has height and weight, even on the international stage, he does not suffer against the confrontation, can stand up to the defender to go to the basket. Zhao Rui's role is more than that, his fighting spirit is very high, when his teammates encounter the opponent's provocation, he is always the first to stand up, can boost the morale of the whole team, Qiao Shuai admires him very much.
In addition to the above five, Qiao Shuai also attaches great importance to Du Runwang, Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Jiwei, Cui Yongxi, he tends to start with the space type four position, Du Runwang is the starting big forward in the Asian Games and Asian preliminaries, if Salamu can improve the stability of three points, he will be the best choice. Compared with Zhou Qi, Hu Jinqiu's attacking ability is still poor, and with Zhou Qi here, he can only play as a substitute. Zhao Jiwei organized the only team and was the captain during the Asian Games, but in the face of the intensity of international competitions, he lacked stability on the offensive end, and it was more suitable to lead the second team, as for Choi Yongxi, he still needs to continue to grow.
Judging from the CBA semifinals, the next starting point of the Chinese men's basketball team has been revealed, and Zhou Qi is worthy of being the first person in the men's basketball team, the only player who has participated in overseas leagues, and his strength is unique. Abdul Salamu deserves a starting position to assist Zhou Qi in protecting the basket, and the two have been teammates in the Xinjiang team and are familiar with each other. Zhang Zhenlin needs to be more confident, Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan have been finalized, both of them have both offense and defense, and they can play double defenses, which can complement each other.
