On the evening of July 1, according to the latest news from the media person "Inspector Zhao of the ball circle", the Chinese men's basketball team, which has arrived in Melbourne, Australia, will play a warm-up match with the Australian national team tomorrow, but unfortunately, the men's basketball training squad will be reduced by 1 again, and Zhao Weilun decided to temporarily leave the national team and return to Italy.
According to last week's training camp with the Macau Black Bears, the list was 21 people, and then Chen Guohao, Lin Wei, Liu Jiali and Duan Angjun were eliminated to become a 17-man squad. Zhao Weilun, who is now playing in the Italian league, also left the national team for personal reasons, so that there is only one 16-man squad left for the warm-up match with Australia, and there is one less available player.
Referring to the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team, there are still 6 players in the guard line, they are Gao Shiyan, Wang Lanyan, Cheng Shuaipeng, He Xining, Cui Xiaolong, Liao Sanning and other 6 people. Since Australia is ranked 5th in the world and the Chinese men's basketball team is ranked 29th, the gap between the strength of the two sides is quite large, especially Australia has a veteran guard like Mills, and the guard line of the Chinese men's basketball team needs to deal with it.
Let's talk about Zhao Weilun, Zhao Weilun, 18 years old this year, 1.85 meters tall, mainly playing point guard, currently playing in the Italian league, her skills are very comprehensive, holding the ball to break through, three-point shots are proficient, it can be said that the template is a bit like Guo Allen, last year he was also selected for the Chinese national youth team, participated in the U19 World Cup, his performance is not bad. As long as he continues to improve his strength in this way, he will have a good chance to enter the NBA in the future, and at the same time, in the next few years, the men's basketball team will replace the old and new in the guard position, and Zhao Weilun is an ideal reserve force.
However, since Zhao Weilun joined this training team, only in the first internal confrontation against the Macau Black Bears, Zhao Weilun appeared for 5 minutes and 23 seconds, scoring 6 points on 2-of-3 shooting, which is obviously not enough. It can be said that Zhao Weilun's strength is still good, but he acts more as a spectator, and Guo Shiqiang does not use it much. It is understood that Zhao Weilun will meet with the national team in the United States in the future, and is expected to continue to participate in the NBA Summer League.
For the warm-up match with Australia, if nothing else, Guo Shiqiang should send Gao Shiyan and Liao Sanning's backcourt partner to start, one is a veteran he trusts, and the other is a very good post-00 generation, if Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie and others are not there, Gao Shiyan's starting point guard should be stable, I don't know if such a backcourt partner can deal with the Australian backcourt?
Fans, what do you think?
