The current CBA league is entering the offseason! The clubs are also actively preparing for the competition! The Chinese men's basketball team has also recently launched a training camp to warm up. In fact, such actions should be more normal! Before the epidemic, although the Chinese men's basketball team did not have many opportunities to participate in the World Series, in the offseason, we all had a major competition - the Stankovic Cup. Although it was an invitational tournament, the strength of the invited teams was good. For the Chinese men's basketball team, it is a kind of experience and a kind of growth! And after the epidemic, this competition that has been inherited for many years has been broken! The Chinese men's basketball team has to use other methods to train the team!
Because the Chinese men's basketball team failed to get a ticket to the Olympics in last year's World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team did not have a major tournament for a long time in the future. But there will certainly be no shortage of warm-up games. According to the arrangement, the Chinese men's basketball team will play two warm-up games with the Australian men's basketball team. The first warm-up match will be played at 17:30 pm on July 2. The Australian men's basketball team has already entered the Olympics and they will also be hoping to regain their form through warm-up games. After all, the Olympics are getting closer and closer! Of course, Australia is a giant in their own right, they are ranked 5th in the world! According to media reports, they have 10 players from NBA teams!
Let's talk about the situation of the Chinese men's basketball team. After the departure of head coach Djordjevic, the Chinese men's basketball team did not appoint a new head coach, but continued to lead the team under the guidance of assistant coach Guo Shiqiang! And this training camp is also dominated by young players! Many veterans like Zhao Rui, Zhao Jiwei, Hu Jinqiu and others did not enter the training list. It can be seen that the purpose of the Chinese men's basketball team is to train the team and train newcomers! Earlier, in Jiangsu, the Chinese men's basketball team played a warm-up game with the Macau Black Bears. As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team lost by 5 points. And this matchup with the Australian men's basketball team is estimated to be a tragedy! Although there are a number of rising stars such as Yang Hansen and Liao Sanning, the difference in experience and strength is too great! Of course, since it is a warm-up, it is estimated that I will not care too much about the result, but will be a technical and tactical drill during the game!
As an assistant coach, Guo Shiqiang guided and led the team. Why not announce that Guo Shiqiang will be the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team? Personally, I have three opinions! First, the Chinese men's basketball team has no major tournament until November. So the head coach is still in the works; Second, Guo Shiqiang still has a contract with the Guangzhou Dragon and Lion men's basketball team! We all know that as the head coach of the national team, you are not allowed to work part-time in a local club. Before, Director Du Feng also left because of this; Third, Guo Shiqiang is reluctant to take over the Chinese men's basketball team! The main reason is that the public opinion environment is too poor! In a warm-up match that ended recently, Guo Shiqiang's guidance was accused of attaching importance to his lineage! Of course, it's hard to say why! I also hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can train well and have a better performance in the game!
