In the hot June, the Chinese men's basketball team is staging an exciting youth assault! The training camp has entered the fifth day, and in the high-intensity confrontation, a new force has risen rapidly, and the prototype of the two main lineups in Guo Shiqiang's hands is gradually taking shape. Let's cut straight to the heart of the topic and look forward to the infinite possibilities of this young army in the future!
As the core and leader of the team, Zhou Qi's importance is self-evident. No matter which style of play, the "enhanced version of Jiao Poqiao" on the inside line is the best choice. Recent public training photos show that Zhou Qi's back injury has completely healed, and sweat reveals his determination to be ready to go. Once healthy, Zhou Qi's deterrent power will surely make opponents fearful.
Keeping pace with it are three young players, Zhang Zhenlin, Hu Mingxuan, and Zhu Junlong. They happen to form the backbone of the first squad. This lineup flexibly draws on the Guangzhou team's running and bombing tactics, and goes all out to speed up and break through is its biggest feature. Zhang Zhenlin will gallop into the power forward position, with his proud height of 208 cm, agile speed and tough confrontation, he will tear apart the defense line to form a dislocation advantage; Hu Mingxuan is the core of scoring in the backcourt, and he is comfortable at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends; Zhu Junlong is the top 3D striker in the country, and while revitalizing the outside line, he also has full control over the inside line, and this time he is expected to become a defensive leader; Although Zhao Weilun is not physically advantageous, he is old enough to compete overseas all year round, and he has long been accustomed to high-intensity games under heavy pressure, and they will do their best to build a mobile attacking weapon.
The second set is the traditional three-forward lineup, Zhou Qi is naturally still the main center, but his responsibilities are not only limited to the inside competition, but also need to help bring young players from Qingdao and Zhejiang Yang Hansen and Yu Jiahao to grow as soon as possible. In the No. 4 position, Guo Shuai used the space-based Du Runwang. Although he is of average height but active and brave, his tactical awareness and mid-range shooting ability are the representative style of today's forwards, and he has proven himself in the Asian Games and Asian preliminaries.
The second and third positions are jointly guarded by Zhang Zhenlin and Zhu Junlong, and they will continue to show the difficult drama of infinite defensive changes. In addition to sharing more offensive firepower, Zhang Zhenlin also has to create fouls by immediately cutting into the air; Zhu Junlong can focus on his ability to defend. As for the backcourt, Liao Sanning will be an all-round guide, he has already performed well in the warm-up games, Guo Shuai hopes that he can continue the ball-holding and long-range shooting form that he improved in overseas special training in the past season, and truly become the core of the team's dominant position.
In the blink of an eye, the first matchup against the Black Bears on June 26 will begin. Although the opponent's foreign aid strength is not bad, with Zhou Qi and other national players joining, Guo Shuai has the opportunity to practice two sets of main lineup tactics. Winning is important, but it's also important to get together. As an old rival, the Black Bears' lineup is no stranger, but it has become an excellent litmus test for the new roster and new lineup. Tickets will be available to fans, so let's wait and see what the new generation of young soldiers will do on the official stage!
To sum up, the newcomer is gradually emerging! Players of different sizes and characteristics may present completely different offensive concepts, making the lineup more flexible and changeable. Some people say that a new beginning is always full of unknowns and challenges, but we have reason to believe that the once glorious men's basketball team will eventually rekindle the fire of war in the hands of a new generation!
Fans and friends, let us cheer up together with the new forces that are ready to go, and look forward to the Chinese men's basketball team regaining its vigor and creating brilliance!
