On July 2, Beijing time, the first warm-up game of the Chinese men's basketball team's overseas training will be officially launched in Australia. This morning, after the end of training, the Australian men's basketball team also deliberately updated its official media, revealing to the outside world that they are very much looking forward to the warm-up match with the Chinese men's basketball team. In this game, the Australian men's basketball team also sent all the main forces, including Ingles, Giddey and dozens of other NBA stars are in the lineup, this game is also a very valuable training opportunity for the Chinese men's basketball team, it is reported that the Chinese team's squad and starting five tigers in this game will have great changes compared with the previous game.
Compared with the two warm-up games with the Macau Black Bears in China, the core and main body of this overseas training is mainly used to train young players, so they can perceive the real situation of the world's high-level basketball, so as to better prepare for the 2027 World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games.
Therefore, in tomorrow's game with the Australian team, the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to use a large number of young players in the starting list, and it is predicted that the team's starting center will be served by Yang Hansen, the best rookie in the CBA league last season. The 19-year-old Yang Hansen can be described as the hope of the entire Chinese basketball, and he himself is very eager to hit the NBA next year, so this overseas training, the coaching staff will give Yang Hansen a lot of playing time, which can not only allow him to get exercise, but also help Yang Hansen have the opportunity to show himself in front of the international media.
In the forward position, Zhu Junlong and Zhu Mingzhen may appear in the starting three or four positions, these two are also considered to be the current Chinese men's basketball young generation of players, two of the more bloody and hard, especially Zhu Mingzhen, as a mixed-race player, his physical fitness is very good, what is lacking is that the technical aspect is not delicate enough, and at the same time the experience in the international competition is insufficient.
On the high-profile guard line, the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to choose Liao Sanning, who performed well in the last game, and partner with Zhao Weilun, a young player in Europe, in this warm-up game. Liao Sanning himself plays very spiritually, and his personal offensive methods are also flexible and diverse, and his shortcomings are that he is physically weak and insufficient. As for Zhao Weilun, this 19-year-old player is in the stage of rapid personal improvement, playing in the Italian league all the year round, so that he is more adaptable than other local defenders in terms of game confrontation, and this time facing Australia, Zhao Weilun will also play the role of former captain Zhao Jiwei in the Chinese men's basketball team.
For tomorrow's warm-up game, fans and friends should look down on the results of the game, pay more attention to the quality of the game itself, this ball for the Chinese men's basketball players, winning is not the primary goal, how to learn from the opponent the international advanced basketball skills and tactics, find their own shortcomings, is a more critical point.
