The 14th National Games men's adult group three-a-side basketball finals are about to start, a total of 8 teams competing, there is no shortage of CBA stars such as Hu Jinqiu, Gao Shiyan, Wang Zhelin, Chen Linjian, etc. In the collision between amateur and professional, the three-person arena is its own faction.
This year's National Games, due to the previous Tokyo Olympic Games, most of the top athletes failed to train with their provincial teams, such as basketball events, followed by the Asian Cup event, in order to ensure the status of the national team, so the Olympic team was directly changed to the Olympic joint team to participate in the competition. In the adult group of the women's basketball team that ended not long ago, the Olympic united team was invincible and won the championship without suspense.
In the adult group of the three-person men's basketball team, the Olympic team composed of Gao Shiyan, Yan Peng, Li Haonan and Hu Jinqiu is also a big hit, but it is not like the women's basketball team, and their gold-winning opponent strength can not be underestimated.
Outside of the Olympic team, Fujian is the most optimistic, this team consists of CBA Fujian men's basketball team Wang Zhelin (who has transferred to Shanghai), Chen Linjian, Jiang Huai, youth team Fang Xiaoqiang, as well as Xiamen University Sun Lichen and former Huaqiao University Zheng Yi. The king is undoubtedly the absolute inner pillar of this team, in the qualifiers, he averaged 8.1 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, and shot 78.6% of the shots within the three-point line (2 points outside the three-point line and 1 point inside the line).
Wang Zhelin and Hu Jinqiu are both outstanding interior players in the league, Dawang won the regular season MVP in the 18-19 season, and Daqiu has also been an MVP candidate and the best team member in the past few seasons. At this year's Tokyo Olympics, Hu Jinqiu's performance was very good, facing Wang Zhelin, who had better strength but a slight lack of movement speed and scoring methods, there must be a big battle between the two.
As the CBA's top three-point shooter, Chen Linjian is also successful in the three-person game, he averaged 2.3 2-pointers per game in qualifiers, and the shooting rate was stable at 38.1%. His true shooting rate is also ranked third among all players, by the way, on the efficiency list, Wang Zhelin is firmly ranked first, and Fujian has won 7 games, but the qualifiers have not participated in the Olympic joint team, less reference.
In addition to this internal and external double core in Fujian, the rest of the players can not be ignored.
At the three-person basketball national team training tournament held last year, Fujian teamed up with Chen Jianghe, Fang Xiaoqiang, Sun Lichen and Zheng Xiaohui, and this unpromising team reached the final all the way to the final, beating the national team 21-18 to win the championship. These four people were also in the Fujian big list at the time of the qualifiers, but Chen Jianghe and Zheng Xiaohui were not among the finalists.
In that tournament, the national team defeated by Fujian has the main force of the current team, Zheng Yi, who is extremely well-known in three-person basketball, as early as Huaqiao University, he almost gave up CUBA for the sake of the three, and this year because of his failure to win the Olympic Games, it has caused wide discussion among fans. He is 196cm tall, won the third place in the Asian Cup in 19 years, and earned Olympic tickets for the men's basketball team, but the national team captain still did not go to Tokyo.
The Fujian squad is deep, and Zheng Yi's defeat in the national team is undoubtedly a supplement to the Fujian squad, from the inside line to the backcourt, Fujian can compete with the Olympic joint team in all aspects. It is a pity that Jiangsu, led by Zhao Lizhou, failed to enter the final circle, otherwise the revenge of these two losers should be a major attraction for the three baskets of the whole game.
Another popular Guangdong team sent Guangdong Chimelong to the match this time, and the 4 players were Huang Wenwei, Liu Kangneng, Liu Xucheng and Zeng Bingqiang. When it comes to fame, it is still based on Dongguan Mayong, who won the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, huang Wenwei and Zeng Bingqiang are the members of the championship, as well as head coach Liu Weihao, Xiao Hailiang is still in the qualifiers, but the final list does not have him.
Guangdong's final roster was only 4 people, Chen Guohao, Xiao Hailiang, Zeng Fanri, and Li Yingbo were not able to catch the shuttle, which made the overall thickness of the team drop a lot. Guangdong's strength lies in the experience of veterans, and in the sport of three-person basketball, which has officially entered the national games, their championship base may be a weapon that can help them not be afraid of any opponent.
In contrast, Beijing's lineup is much younger.
Fang Jiachen, Hu Zhongqi, Ma Xuepeng, Wen Song, Zhong Xiaoyang, Zou Yang, this is actually a Tsinghua University team, they just defended the CUBA championship this year. However, the main point guard Wang Lanlan did not participate, but was led by Fang Jiachen, a talented high school student at Huipu Middle School who did not play well in CUBA, but as early as 2015, in the Chinese three-on-three basketball league, he had already won the youth championship and had a lot of experience.
The absolute core of the Beijing team is Zou Yang, known as "Tsinghua Ingram", with a height of 198cm and an arm span of 213cm. In Tsinghua he played the third position, in the three-person field, his role is even greater, both in the interior line to supplement the defense, but also to hold the ball impact, in addition to the long shot slightly worse, he is really a good seedling of three-person basketball. His projection is not good, but teammates Wen Song and Zhong Xiaoyang have good long-range shooting ability, and their biggest advantage is actually the tacit understanding of playing together all year round.
The low-key competitors are none other than Shandong, Guo Hanyu, Liu Hengyi, Liu Zhenhuan, Wang Jiayi, Wang Xuefeng, and Wang Yaofeng. Among them, Liu Hengyi and Zheng Yi are from Huaqiao University, he has countless fans in "This is a Slam Dunk", and is also the earliest batch of three-person basketball full-time players in China, winning the championship in the 2018 World University Three-on-Three Basketball League Finals, winning the asian Cup third place with Zheng Yi and others in 2019, and he was also selected at the last moment for this year's Olympic Games.
This Shandong team is also a CUBA team, Wang Jiayi is the captain of Huaqiao University, Wang Xuefeng graduated from Shandong University of Science and Technology, the two have teamed up as early as 2015 to play three-on-three events, Liu Zhenhuan and Guo Hanyu are from Zhejiang University. Wang Yaofeng, the only player from the Shandong youth team, has been playing for Anhui Wenyi before, and in 2019, together with Liu Hengyi, he helped Shandong Chuangyun win the national three-person basketball championship.
After Guo Hanyu, known as "Zhejiang University James", left CUBA, he is now also a three-person basketball champion, and in last year's NBA 3X three-person basketball challenge, he played for the Shanghai Chongming YM team and won the national championship with a long-range shot. Shanghai Chongming YM is currently the hottest club for three-person basketball, and Guo Hanyu is not only one of the core of the team, but also selected for the national training team. His combination with Liu Hengyi is probably Shandong's most low-key but deadliest weapon.
The last 3 teams are slightly weaker, but there is no shortage of CBA players.
Shanghai sent Huang Xu, Li Zhi, Luo Xudong, Zhou Yanxu, Zhu Yuanbo, Huang Xu is a Shanghai men's basketball player, he played a three-person basketball game in the last National Games, Luo Xudong is a veteran, Zhou Yanxu is a young player born in 1999. Zhu Yuanbo was once the NBL dunk king and a player of Shanghai Chongming YM. Li Zhi is from Hunan Civil Affairs College, was a former CUBA player, also played for the famous three-person basketball club Shangshi Longchuang, and is also a signed player of the famous street ball event Passerby King.
Sichuan is led by Chen Haonan, a former three-member basketball national team player, assisted by Guo Zhihan, Meng Tianyi, Mo Mengchen, Wang Haotian, Zuo Xunnian and others, except for Wang Haotian, the other 5 are from the Sichuan men's basketball team. Wang Haotian played for the three-person basketball club Chengdu Chengti- Hezhong Sports, in 2019, he scored 4 consecutive 2 points in the semi-finals of the National Three-Man Basketball Club Elite Tournament, and finally sent the team to the final.
The host Shaanxi does not have a CBA team, but Xi'an's ball market is quite hot, the famous basketball team Wild Ball Emperor's base camp is here, Shaanxi three-person basketball is also based on this group framework, He Yuxiang, Lai Yiye, Lei Pengfei, Li Guanyang, Qu Yang, Xu Chuan'ao, You Shuyu, Zhou Jiahao, not members of the Wild Ball Emperor, is Xi'an CUBA player. They may not be the best, but they may be the most popular team on the Internet.
Next year, the three-man men's basketball professional league will begin, take advantage of the national luck to get to know it first.
