Recently, the Chinese men's basketball team announced the fourteen-man squad for the Asian preliminaries, Qi Lin unfortunately lost due to injury, as one of the best small forwards this season, Zhang Zhenlin was absent, Qi Lin ushered in the best opportunity to correct his name, the result was quite unlucky, compared to Zhang Zhenlin, Qi Lin, who is also excellent in physical fitness, has a stronger projection ability, which is more in line with Djordjevic's requirements, the local young forward is growing slowly, Qi Lin is also expected to be high, but unfortunately fell in front of injury again.
This time against Mongolia and Japan, obviously the confrontation with Japan is more valuable, and Japan brought a quasi-first team this time, in addition to Yuta Watanabe, basically came, like the Olympic hero and core Hawkins, the four main players in the backfield, Yudai Kawamura, Shin Ejima and Yuki Tomiyasu all played, and the sixth man Tominaga Keisei did not come, but the other substitute styles are also close, overall the strength is good, and the training of young Chinese players is of great significance, before the game, the Japanese coach also emphasized that he lost to China in a row before, and this time he wants to take revenge, It can be seen that Japan attaches great importance to it.
Back to China, the performance of Yang Hansen and Liao Sanning is worth paying attention to, the former is regarded as the next Chinese player to enter the NBA, at present, it is acceptable, and there is a chance to be selected, and the opposite Hawkins, is one of the best inside lines in the World Cup, Yang Hansen will get the opportunity to directly opposite him, compared to Yu Jiahao, the more comprehensive Yang Hansen has greater potential, before Da Yang proved himself in the World Youth Championships, suppressed several NBA high picks hot rookies, this time it is the big competition to play the senior national team, the test of Yang Hansen is greater, If he can play well against Japan, this convincing performance will surely improve Dayang's ranking.
Liao Sanning is the representative of China's young defenders, but also the leader of high defenders, Djordjevic has always wanted China to have high defenders, but except for Zhao Rui, almost no one can be trusted, the embarrassment of the World Cup is still in front of him, this time Xu Jie was recalled, it is not clear whether Qiao Shuai has been shaken, Japan has known as one of the strongest defenders in Asia, Kawamura Yonghui, this is another good touchstone, although his level is not as good as Araki, but it is enough, Liao Sanning has played well this season, can it be done in the competition, The first battle was known.
To say a little more, in the past, Du Feng guided the face of Japan, all of them won the victory, this time Qiao Shuai led the team, maybe the lineup is not neat, it is not impossible to lose, but if the loss is ugly, and the content of the game is not there, I am afraid that Qiao Shuai's position will really be in trouble, or that the Chinese men's basketball team, which has performed sluggishly in the recent warm-up game, can easily win Mongolia is still unknown.
