The Chinese men's basketball U17 lost the first game of the World Youth Championship, losing to Guinea with a total score of 92-101. Li Xiaoyong said: Because there are fewer competitions in American high schools after March, the young man has not trained and competed systematically in the past two months, and his state is average, very, very soft.
Li Xiaoyong's evaluation of Xun Sinan also caused heated discussions, because in this game, Xun Sinan played 26 minutes and shot 8 of 15, got 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 blocks, and all three statistics were the first in the team. Li Xiaoyong said that it is not recommended that the national youth players should not play abroad at this age during this period, so how to improve if they stay in China? There is no stronger opponent to sharpen, just like Diane, the Guinean center who was not favored before this game, almost single-handedly broke the inside line of the Chinese team.
Objectively speaking, the Chinese team is indeed not tough enough in this game, with fewer fouls than the opponent and only half of the opponent's rebounds, but it is by no means Xun Sinan's problem, and he and Feng Yubo are excellent performances in the whole game, and other players Li Xiaoyong did not focus on it. Although he lost, it is indeed a bit unobjective to say that the best player on the field performed softly.
