The men's basketball team played away against Australia, another post-00 left the team, Gao Shiyan Du Runwang started or will lose miserably!
On July 2, Beijing time, the Chinese men's basketball team will continue its warm-up game journey this summer, and at half past 5 in the afternoon, they will challenge the Australian men's basketball team away! As the Olympics are approaching, the Australian national team will send their full main lineup, including a number of NBA active players, so there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and what awaits the Chinese men's basketball team will undoubtedly be a fiasco!
In the case that the result cannot be changed, the only significance of this game for the Chinese men's basketball team is to train the newcomers, because at the beginning of the formation of this new national team, it was to prepare for the World Cup in three years and the Olympic Games in four years, and the basketball association spent so much manpower, material and financial resources to help these young players grow as soon as possible! I hope they can help the Chinese men's basketball team return to the Olympic stage in four years!
But judging from the recent situation, Guo Shiqiang's employment ideas do not seem to conform to this logic! In the first official warm-up game, all 12 people registered by the Chinese men's basketball team appeared, but Yang Hansen, who is known as the successor of the men's basketball team, only appeared for 8 minutes, and Cui Xiaolong, who was in a hot state among the outside players, only appeared for 10 minutes, and was suddenly replaced in the fourth quarter when he completed consecutive scores!
In addition, the potential new stars who are generally optimistic about the outside world, including Lin Wei, Chen Guohao and Zhao Weilun, failed to enter the 12-man squad! Then there was news that Lin Wei and Chen Guohao had been cut in advance after the first warm-up game and missed the next warm-up match with Australia, including the subsequent summer league! Before the match with the Australian team, the media revealed that Zhao Weilun had also left the training team for personal reasons, which means that another post-00s left the team!
Why did Zhao Weilun suddenly leave the team at this time? I think the probability is related to not getting the opportunity to play, in the internal test match with the Macau Black Bears, Zhao Weilun got a short playing time at the most popular moment, and then he did not enter the squad, and now he suddenly returned to Italy after following the team to Australia, most likely because he has felt that it is difficult to enter the 12-man squad in these two games, and he can only play the role of a little prince who picks up the ball! I haven't improved myself too much!
After several newcomers left the team one after another, some fans have called this national team the U28 men's national basketball team, because there are 28-year-old Zhu Mingzhen and Gao Shiyan in the team, 27-year-old He Xining, 26-year-old Zhao Jiayi, and 26-year-old Wang Lanqin! And among these people, except for Wang Lanqin, they are the players most used by Guo Shiqiang! In the first warm-up game, 28-year-old Gao Shiyan and 27-year-old He Xining started the game, and although 28-year-old Zhu Mingzhen said that he came off the bench, he ranked second in the team in terms of playing time, and he was also one of the three players in the team who played more than 20 minutes!
If nothing else, Gao Shiyan will continue to appear in the starting lineup in this game with the Australian team, according to outside speculation, only Gao Shiyan's defensive ability of these defenders in the team can satisfy Guo Shiqiang! But the problem is that this game is not to win, it is to let young players find gaps and help them grow as soon as possible, and we can't win, if Gao Shiyan can help the Chinese men's basketball team win, then it's okay!
The result of this is that several older players get a lot of playing time, and the young players who are expected to do so can only wave towels on the sidelines, which is called overseas training, and as a result, they come back after a lap of practice and lose all the games, and the purpose of training young players has not been achieved!
It's not that Gao Shiyan can't do it here, the main thing is that his age does not meet the idea of building the men's basketball team, because he will not be in the men's basketball squad in the World Cup in three years and the Olympics in four years, what is the point of you giving him a lot of playing time at this time!
In addition, there is Du Runwang, although his empty three points are indeed very accurate, but there are a few opportunities to shoot in the international arena, and several strong teams in the league have found ways to limit him, not to mention the international arena! As long as he is not given the opportunity to open a big vacancy, Du Runwang is completely a side effect on the court, because his defense and rebounding ability are huge holes once he misses three points!
Personally, I think Du Runwang can be used, but he can't be used as the main force, and it's easy to dig a hole for him to start! Therefore, in these two games with the Australian team, in the case of a fiasco that there is no suspense, don't rely on a few veteran players to struggle, give more opportunities to young players, let them feel the feeling of playing against NBA players, after all, the Chinese men's basketball team will have to rely on them if they want to touch the floor of the Olympic Games in four years!
