Basketball is a sport full of personality and diversity, and on the court, each player has their own strengths and roles. Instead of pursuing all-round, it is better to give full play to personal advantages, which is also the reality that the Chinese men's basketball team is currently facing. In this topic, we focus on players who are known for their specific features, unlike the all-round Allen Guo and Zhao Rui, who may not be as eye-catching, but play an integral role in the team.
Zhao Jiwei is known for his organizational skills and excellent big-picture vision. He's not an all-around player, but he's better at watching the situation on the pitch and creating the best scoring opportunities for his teammates. However, despite his excellent performance in terms of organization, he is still lacking in scoring. In the recent Asian qualifiers, his scoring statistics were not ideal, and whether this will affect his status in the team has become the focus of attention.
Jiang Weize is known as a skilled three-point shooter, and his excellent shooting ability has brought a lot of points to the team. However, he is not tall and relatively weak on the defensive end, which makes opponents tend to use the height advantage against him. Despite this, in the last Asian Cup, Jiang Weize showed amazing scoring ability, which also proved his importance on the attacking end.
Fu Hao has been described as a scoring machine on the bench, and his offensive ability has added a lot of firepower to the team. However, at the same time, his performance on the defensive end was not as good as it could be, which became an obstacle for him to be selected for the national team. Although he has a tacit cooperation with Zhao Jiwei, he needs to further improve his defensive ability if he wants to gain a foothold in the national team.
Du Runwang is known for his shooting ability and tactical value, especially for the Guangdong team. However, in the national team, his performance was not as good as it could be, especially in the defensive end, there were certain problems. Although he has a certain advantage in shooting, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to establish himself in the national team.
Zhu Junlong is regarded as a big gate in the front line defense, and his performance on the defensive end is widely recognized. However, at the same time, there is still room for improvement in his performance on the offensive end, especially when it comes to decision-making in key moments. His shooting ability needs to be further strengthened to cope with the various situations in the game.
Lu Wenbo is considered a defensively specialized player, and his performance on the defensive end has been impressive. However, compared to Zhu Junlong, his performance on the offensive end is relatively weak, especially in the ball-carrying attack, and his ability needs to be improved. To establish himself in the national team, he needs to develop his skills more comprehensively.
In the Chinese men's basketball team, the role player status is also indispensable. While they may not be as visible, it is their specialties and features that have contributed significantly to the team's victory. However, to establish themselves in the national team, these players also need to constantly improve their abilities, especially in terms of all-round development. I hope that in the future, they can do better in their own fields and contribute to the development of the Chinese men's basketball team.
