Recently, the new Chinese men's basketball team is training and warm-up games, Guo Shiqiang recruited more than 20 players in the first batch, and played two games against the Macau Black Bears in China. At present, the men's basketball team has arrived in Australia and played against stronger opponents.
4 players were eliminated in advance on this overseas expedition, including Lin Wei, Chen Guohao, Liu Lijia, Duan Angjun, and Guo Shiqiang's team of 17 people is also relatively large. According to media sources, the young Zhao Weilun temporarily left for personal reasons and will miss the two games in Australia, but he will meet with the men's basketball team in the United States.
I have to say that Guo Shiqiang's return to coach the Chinese men's basketball team this time received some support and caused a lot of controversy. On the bright side, after experiencing the trough period of Djordjevic's leadership, the men's basketball team has returned to the thinking of local coaches, and there will be no problem with communication and tacit understanding with players; However, Guo Shiqiang was critical of the use of personnel in the game against the Macau Black Bears, giving the Mesozoic players more time, which was not the same as the purpose of training newcomers that everyone predicted at the beginning.
But in any case, the head coach of the team has his own ideas for building a team, especially now that the Chinese men's basketball team is at a low point, there are not many competitions in the future, only next year's Asian Cup is an important game, and Guo Shiqiang still has time to adjust.
In the two games with Australia this time, the men's basketball team may have to make changes, and it is expected that Jiao Boqiao, Zhu Junlong, Cui Xiaolong, Liao Sanning, and Du Runwang will take the lead.
On the inside, Guo Shiqiang gave Yang Hansen and Yu Jiahao some opportunities, these two are also very good in the domestic CBA, but the biggest problem exposed in the face of international matches is that they are slow and can't keep up with the rhythm of their opponents, which will also bring their team's offense to a standstill. Conversely, the more maneuverable Jiao Po Qiao clearly had to adapt to the outside game. Of course, Yang Hansen has greater value to tap in the future, but Yu Jiahao's prospects in the national team are indeed not optimistic.
In terms of forwards, because of Zhang Zhenlin's absence, Zeng Fanbo took leave to return to the club, Zhu Junlong is a more experienced player in the national team now, and he did perform well in the first two games, and he can definitely win a chance to start. Zhu Mingzhen has to play as a substitute even if he enters the squad, and his previous performance is disappointing.
In the No. 4 position, Guo Shiqiang will also give Du Runwang a chance, even if his three points are unstable, as long as he finds a feeling, he can help the team. On the bench, fans are very much looking forward to Zou Yang of the Fujian team entering the squad, and this player from the draft was praised by Zhu Fangyu defensively.
In terms of defenders, Cui Xiaolong's outbreak in the last game became a surprise soldier, and he is the sharpest breakthrough among the existing guards, and his role is comparable to Guo Allen, and he will definitely be reused by Guo Shiqiang. The No. 1 ball carrier will reuse Liao Sanning, and Gao Shiyan will be more effective when he returns to the bench.
