After three games, it can be confirmed: The Asian Cup of the Chinese Men s Basketball Team is expected

In the warm-up match of the Chinese men's basketball team before the Asian Cup, Venezuela won 44 points in two matches, but it still couldn't get away from the doubts in the hearts of fans. After all, the opponent is just the second team. After defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 20 points, quietly looking at the "remnant formation" Chinese men's basketball team in front of them, the fans' eyes began to be different.

When Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Zhenlin, Cui Yongxi and other main players of the front line and inside line support Yang Hansen were absent due to injuries or tasks, and Zhou Qi's prospects were unknown, the Chinese men's basketball team had been labeled as "remnant formation" by the outside world before embarking on the Asian Cup journey. The sharp drop in front line height and athletic ability and the weakening of traditional advantages in the inside line seem to cast a shadow on the team's Asian Cup journey ahead of schedule. However, after three warm-up matches, the outbreak of new players such as Wang Junjie, Liao Sanning, and Yu Jiahao, and the tactical polishing of coach Guo Shiqiang's "training newcomers and looking at the future" is allowing this young army to show an anticipated edge in an unfavorable situation. The stadium of the

warm-up match has become a stage for young players to declare their strength. The performance of the US striker Wang Junjie is particularly impressive. This college player conquered fans in two games. The modern forward characteristics he showed on both offense and defense are a surprise - he can not only shoot accurately on the outside, but also hold the ball and break through the inside strongly. This is the vitality urgently needed by the men's basketball forward. On the back line, Liao Sanning's transformation is also eye-catching, but domestic universities produce American style of playing. Not only is the breakthrough sharp and sharp, but it also shows a calm field beyond age.

In terms of the inside, Yu Jiahao, who is 2.21 meters tall, shoulders the burden in the crisis. His solid sense of positioning and height advantage make him a reliable barrier to the penalty area. When watching Yu Jiahao's game, there will be such an idea in his mind that this kid has increased the ball. The "two towers" rotation formed by him and Hu Jinqiu has already supported the team's rebound lifeline.

In just three games, we can already see that what Coach Guo Shiqiang injected into this team is not only the concept of "training new players", but also a tactical system that allows young players to grow rapidly. Faced with the reality of large-scale absence of the main force, he did not choose to conservatively shrink, but boldly activated newcomers and polished team cooperation. The rotation and tightening ability of the back line, the coordinated defense of the inside line "two towers", and the interweaving and running of the forward line all show a tacit understanding after systematic training. More importantly, the fighting spirit exudes this team. When the opponent puts pressure, the players never give up easily; when the offense and defense transition is deadlocked, there are always people who stand up to break the balance. Wang Junjie's flying steal on the defensive end, Liao Sanning's self-sacrifice confrontation when he broke through, and Yu Jiahao's hard position in the inside, what is hidden in these details is the young players' desire for victory and the most valuable spiritual inheritance of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In this Asian Cup, strong teams such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other teams also have core absent, which is good news for this men's basketball team.

is not favored, perhaps it is the best soil for growth. Although this Chinese men's basketball team, with young players as the backbone, does not have a luxurious lineup, they have the spirit of youth, determination to fight and a tactical system that is becoming increasingly formed. Perhaps it seems that there is no starting point for expectations, but it will burst into greater surprises.
