At 17:30 Beijing time today, the young Chinese men's basketball players led by Guo Shiqiang will play against the powerful Australian men's basketball team in the warm-up game. In the absence of many main players such as Zhou Qi, Zhao Rui, and Hu Mingxuan, the Chinese men's basketball team played against Australia, which has many NBA experiences.
Recalling the previous warm-up game of the Chinese men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Macau Black Bears won 1 win and 1 loss. The Chinese men's basketball team, which is mainly composed of young players, will undoubtedly face an uphill battle.
In the recent contest with the Macau Black Bears, Guo Shiqiang's starting lineup did not immediately open up the situation, and today against a stronger Australia, Guo Shiqiang may consider changing the lineup. Facing the Australian team, it is expected that Guo Shiqiang will send Yu Jiahao, Zhu Junlong, Du Runwang, Cheng Shuaipeng and Zhao Weilun's starting lineup, Yu Jiahao's confrontation and rebounding ability on the inside, Du Runwang's shooter image on the outside, and Zhu Junlong's positive performance on the defensive end are all important weapons for the Chinese men's basketball team to impact the opponent. The backcourt combination of Cheng Shuaipeng and Zhao Weilun means that the Chinese men's basketball team will seek a breakthrough in speed and organization.
On the bench, Liao Sanning, Yang Hansen and other players are ready to inject new vitality into the team at a certain moment in the game. Liao Sanning, the favored substitute wonder, is expected to shine in the second team, and his breakthrough and outside threat will be a turning point for the Chinese men's basketball team in the game. On the inside, Yang Hansen, an 18-year-old player, is highly anticipated. He's nimble on his feet, good at blocking, and excels in defending in the box. As Yao Ming's successor, he has more expectations and responsibilities on his shoulders.
Of course, as a warm-up game for the Chinese men's basketball team in the summer, in the absence of many main players, there is little suspense about the outcome of the game. For today's Chinese men's basketball team, it is more important to hope to see the cohesion of the team and the implementation of tactics. The Chinese men's basketball team needs to play its own characteristics and play its own rhythm in the game. At the same time, they also need to remain calm and patient, and in the face of the strong strength of the Australian team, they cannot rush and give up. Especially when young players face strong opponents, they should not be afraid psychologically, and give full play to the drive and hard work that young people should have.
This summer with the Australian men's basketball team and the future NBA Summer League is a valuable learning opportunity for the Chinese men's basketball team. By competing against the world's best teams, it is hoped that young players can better understand their own shortcomings and areas for improvement. At the same time, it is also an opportunity to train young players, let them show their talent and strength on the international stage, and also see what kind of basketball the young people are playing outside.
