In the warm-up game with Australia, the Chinese men's basketball team lost unexpectedly, 87-107, although it lost by 20 points, but this time, almost no one blamed them, and everyone praised it.
Why? On the one hand, the opponent Australia is a world-class team, and this game is also full of players, with 10 NBA players, such a lineup can be said to be able to compete with the existence of the American men's basketball team. On the other hand, it was the Chinese men's basketball team itself that played a wonderful performance, playing style and momentum.
And the reason for such a performance is undoubtedly inseparable from a person's outstanding performance, he is Liao Sanning. Liao Sanning, who was born in 2001, is undoubtedly still a teenager, and this is also his first time representing the national team. In February, he was named in the 14-man squad under then-coach Djordjevic, but he was not selected and kicked out of the team before the game against the Mongolian men's basketball team.
And in this game, Liao Sanning repaid the trust of acting coach Guo Shiqiang with his performance. In the whole game, Liao Sanning played 22 minutes, shot 11 of 16, hit 4 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 26 points, and his performance was extremely eye-catching.
Seeing Liao Sanning like this, everyone sighed with emotion, Djordjevic should really blush. You must know that although Liao Sanning is a young player and is not so experienced, in fact, compared with Zhao Jiwei and other previous excellent defenders, Liao Sanning has a lot of offensive means, and his breakthrough ability is very strong. Although Zhao Jiwei is known as the Paul of China, in fact, his offensive ability is sometimes too average to pose a threat to opponents on the outside.
Now, under Guo Shiqiang's tutelage, the guard line of the Chinese men's basketball team is actually more alive, and in the face of Australia's NBA guard group, it is not particularly at a loss, at least it still has to play. Especially Liao Sanning and Wang Lanyan, the two of them staged the accuracy of Chinese basketball outside the three-point line, which made people see the future of the men's basketball team.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, there is no player as dominant as NBA legend Yao Ming, if you want to have a status in the world basketball world, you need to have your own style, play your own accuracy and speed, and play your own defensive characteristics, only in this way can you have your own place in the more fierce competition. Especially when choosing players, it is necessary to choose players with characteristics who can play international matches, and from this point of view, Guo Shiqiang is obviously better than Djordjevic.
