In an interview on the morning of the 22nd, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Djordjevic, confirmed the 12-man list of the Asian Cup qualifiers between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Mongolian team, of which guard Liao Sanning and forward Fu Hao were absent. The Chinese men's basketball team retained the equipment of five guards in the first game against the Asian preliminaries, and it is obvious that they are deliberately training in advance for the second game against the Japanese team.
The 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team against the Mongolian team includes: Zhao Jiwei, Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie, Cui Yongxi, Cheng Shuaipeng, Zhu Junlong, Wang Ruize, Du Runwang, Abdul Salamu, Hu Jinqiu, Yu Jiahao, Yang Hansen. Due to the large gap in the strength of the two teams, it will be difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to encounter too many challenges, and they will most likely win by a large score. Most of the Mongolian team are student players, and they are far inferior to the Chinese men's basketball team in terms of personal ability, technical and tactical literacy, and competition experience. In the face of such an opponent, the Chinese men's basketball team is more about honing the lineup and allowing the players to find a better state through the game. It can be expected that the back line will be the position that Qiao Shuai hopes to focus on through this game.
During this window, the Chinese men's basketball team will go to challenge the Japanese team away after facing the Mongolian team at home. Japan's squad consisted of six players who competed in last year's World Cup, including naturalized player Hawkinson. Japan are the strongest team in this group. The overall height of the Japanese team is on the short side, and the back line is their dominant position. In this regard, the Chinese men's basketball team has long focused its training on the tough battle against the Japanese team. The Chinese men's basketball team has made great changes in the direction of selection in this training camp, among which the guard line chose Xu Jie, who is only 1.78 meters tall, which is also to deal with the guard line of the Japanese men's basketball team. At the same time, the Chinese men's basketball team has practiced many times in the previous training camp.
It is foreseeable that the Chinese men's basketball team will use more guard players in the game against the Mongolian team to make them find a better feeling and condition. At the same time, the Chinese men's basketball team will also maximize their center advantage, and Yang Hansen's first debut for the Chinese men's basketball team is worth looking forward to.
