The Chinese men's basketball team recently announced a new training list, and this time the list has obviously been significantly adjusted compared with the past.
This change is mainly due to the fact that the results of the first two months of training have not been satisfactory, and the team needs to improve its overall strength by regrouping.
Guo's first step in taking office was to release a 26-man squad, which originally looked promising because there were many quality players among them.
However, things did not go as expected.
Some players did not attend the training camp as scheduled due to various reasons, such as injuries, personal matters or other problems.
For example, Guo Allen, who had just recovered, was unable to report in time because of his unstable physical condition and conflicts in personal arrangements.
There were also a couple of players who missed important training sessions due to time conflicts, and the whole situation was a bit disappointing.
After Guo Shiqiang became a coach, he showed his rigorous and hard-working side.
His work ethic is not only evident on the training pitch, but also in the games.
Whenever the team is training, Guo Shiqiang is always on the scene in person and strictly controls every detail.
Not only did he review the tactical arrangements, but he also took the initiative to communicate with the players between training sessions to listen to their opinions and feedback.
In the process, he never relaxed because of the status of the player, and everyone felt that he took his work seriously.
Some players took to social media to express their respect for Guo.
A young player wrote on his personal Weibo: Coach Guo's meticulousness and attention to every detail really benefited me a lot.
He never gives up and always wants everyone to give their best.
This Weibo has been liked and forwarded by many fans, and everyone has a high evaluation of Guo Shiqiang.
Some veteran players also mentioned Guo Shiqiang's work attitude on social media.
A veteran player who used to play in the national team wrote in the comments: After Coach Guo took office, I saw his seriousness and dedication to his work, and I really admired him.
He's not just looking at results like some coaches, he's more concerned with making the team better.
The comment also sparked a lot of discussion, with some agreeing and others beginning to wonder if the veteran player's remarks were personal, but in any case, Guo Shiqiang's efforts and attitude have been recognized.
Fans are also full of appreciation for Guo Shiqiang's attitude.
A fan wrote on the basketball forum: After Guo Shiqiang took office, he really saw that he had paid a lot.
Not only does he maintain a high-intensity pace in training, but he also often works overtime after a match to try to find ways to improve.
Can such a coach not win respect? Such comments make more people feel Guo Shiqiang's dedication and efforts.
Against this background, the team decided to reduce the roster to 20 people.
The criteria for this adjustment are stricter, and all selected players must participate in the training camp for the whole time.
This decision has also sparked discussions among many netizens.
Some expressed support, arguing that it would help improve the concentration and efficiency of training.
This reduction is timely, at least to ensure that everyone has enough time and opportunity to express themselves.
A netizen commented on social media.
However, there are also concerns about this.
Now the old player is really completely out of play, is Guo Shiqiang's approach too radical? Another netizen looked a little anxious.
They are concerned that excessive youth will lead to inexperience in key games and affect overall performance.
Some fans joked: It seems that this training camp has really become a 'battlefield for young people', and the old players must sincerely accept the reality.
Their comments, while tinged with some derision, also reflected mixed emotions about the replacement of old and new players.
The changes to the roster this time are mainly reflected in the age structure of the players.
The vast majority of the players in the new squad are young people born after '95.
For example, Zhao Jiwei, Zhou Qi, Zhao Rui, these players born in 96, Hu Jinqiu and Fu Hao were born in 97.
And post-00 players have also begun to emerge, such as Yang Hansen, Liao Sanning, Zeng Fanbo and Cui Yongxi have all been selected for this training camp.
As the team gets younger, many of the former national players are also excluded.
Guo Allen has a very slim chance now due to his long-term injury recovery and declining form.
Wang Zhelin was replaced by a younger player due to his age and declining performance.
Wu Qian's performance on the international stage was also not satisfactory, and although he performed well in the domestic arena, he failed to play a role in the international competition.
Zhai Xiaochuan also bid farewell to the stage of the national team due to his age.
When Guo Shiqiang first took office, everyone had high expectations for him.
As the new head coach, his task is not only to lead the national team out of the doldrums, but also to make drastic changes in the team.
With his arrival, many people began to speculate about what he would do with the veteran players who had made great achievements for the national team.
Guo Shiqiang quickly clarified his position.
The chances of the veteran players were almost gone, a decision that came as a surprise to many.
Players who performed well in the game in the past, such as Guo Allen and Wang Zhelin, are now left out in the cold.
There was not exactly the same idea, and some felt that it was a necessary adjustment, after all, the team needed new energy and change.
For example, Allen Guo's injury problems have prevented him from recovering to his best, and his own style of play has become increasingly difficult to adapt to the rhythm of modern basketball.
In this case, Guo Shiqiang's decision may be for a longer-term purpose.
On the other hand, Wang Zhelin was also excluded because of his age and declining state.
At one time, he and Zhou Qi were the pillars of the interior line, but as time went on, his physical condition and game performance declined.
The rise of young players in the squad has made his position less secure.
Seeing these veteran players gradually being marginalized, some fans feel a little uncomfortable.
They have a deep affection for these players who have brought countless wonderful moments, and it is always a little sad and frustrating to see them replaced by a new generation of players.
At the same time, Guo Shiqiang also favors some young players.
Zhao Rui and Liao Sanning are the objects of his attention.
Zhao Rui's all-round ability and quick breakthrough make him particularly important in the team.
Liao Sanning won the favor of the coach with his potential and speed of improvement.
Guo Shiqiang's decisions seem to be his strategic layout for the future development of the team.
He hopes to inject new blood into this group of young players and make the team more competitive in future competitions.
In the future, the Chinese men's basketball team will continue to focus on cultivating young players.
The construction of the team will focus more on the development of these newcomers to adapt to the high intensity and high level of international competition.
This series of adjustments and strategies marks that the Chinese men's basketball team is moving towards a new stage of development.
