The inner core of the Chinese men's basketball team is Hu Jinqiu, who has excellent finishing ability and a clear mind. He has been outstanding at the World Cup and is one of the most attacking players in the team. Hu Jinqiu will be 100 percent selected for the national team.
Yang Hansen is one of the most promising rising stars in the Chinese men's basketball team, and he has shown a very high level in the Qingdao team and has become a top center. He has excellent offensive and defensive ability, so he has already booked a place for the national team.
To be on the safe side, the national team usually brings three interior players to prevent injuries or foul troubles. Therefore, even if Yu Jiahao's ability is average, Qiao Shuai will bring him as a spare tire. Doing so will ensure that you are prepared in the event that no one is available during the match.
In the forward position, five players will be selected to stay. Among them, Qi Lin is the best forward this season, he has the ability to break through and shoot, and the scoring ability is extremely strong, which meets the needs of the national team as an offensive forward.
Zhu Junlong is already a regular in the national team, and although his offensive ability is not very stable, his defensive ability is excellent, and he is able to make the opponent feel at a loss, no matter what the opponent is. This desperate spirit is commendable, which is why he was selected for the national team with his defensive ability.
Abdul Salamu has been excellent in both scoring and rebounding, and he can also play well in the No. 4 position. He performed well individually, and the results of the Xinjiang team were also very good, which is also a strong proof of his selection for the national team.
The last two spots will be a four-man battle for two. Du Runwang and Fu Hao have both been selected for the national team, while Zhao Jiayi and Wang Ruize have been selected for the first time. Du Runwang is known for his three-point shooting ability, which is also his only role, although other aspects are not too prominent, his shooting ability has a certain value for the national team.
Fu Hao's performance in the national team is relatively unoutstanding, he has played very little time in the World Cup, and his performance is relatively poor. The Asian Games were directly ignored and had almost no chance to play. His offensive ability is okay, but his defensive ability is not satisfactory, and compared to other defenders, he does not have much advantage.
In the defender position, the national team needs to keep two of the four people left. Choi Yong-hee has always been one of Djordjevic's most valued players, he has been excellent on the defensive end, and he also dares to shoot when attacking, and he has already been confirmed on the list.
Zhao Jiwei has had excellent performances in the Asian Games, but there have also been slump moments. However, his handling and passing ability is the best, he is good at three-point shooting, and he is valuable in organizing the team, so he will definitely be selected.
Hu Mingxuan has a certain ability in both offense and defense, and can attack the basket. Although his performance was not consistent, none of the other defenders could break through consistently, and his position was relatively stable.
Cheng Shuai Peng has explosive scoring power, but his problem is that he can only attack, not good at **. He is prone to impatience and unbalanced mentality when he doesn't play well, so he still needs to work hard to improve his skills during the training camp.
Xu Jie performed well in the backcourt with Guo Allen in the World Qualifiers, he is fast, good at three-point shooting, and is suitable for fast break and offensive and defensive transitions. His weaknesses lie in confrontation and defense, which is due to physical limitations.
Liao Sanning showed a certain talent when he was in the youth team, daring to play and dare to work, and his offensive ability was relatively good. However, there are times when he behaves a little recklessly, like a free-range wild horse and needs to be more calm and consistent. Therefore, there is no guarantee that he will stay.
The 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team has been confirmed, including interior players Hu Jinqiu and Yang Hansen, forward players Qi Lin, Zhu Junlong and Abdusalam, guard players Cui Yongxi and Zhao Jiwei, as well as Hu Mingxuan, Cheng Shuaipeng, Xu Jie and Liao Sanning.
During the selection process, head coach Djordjevic took into account the player's comprehensive ability and contribution to the team. Players in each position have their own strengths and weaknesses, and ultimately the final roster needs to be decided based on performance during training and ability to adapt to international competition. It is hoped that the Chinese men's basketball team can give full play to the potential of the players during the training camp and achieve good results.
