FIBA Asia official website is not final list, it is rumored that Xu Jie has not yet been eliminated, and the Chinese men s basketball roster will be announced two days later

The Chinese men's basketball team played the last warm-up match before the Asian Cup with the Bosnia and Herzegovina Men's Basketball Team on July 29. This warm-up match was one of the few opportunities for Guo Shiqiang to adjust the lineup and inspect the players. Everyone's consensus is that the basic main framework of the Chinese men's basketball team's Asian Cup has been determined, but it is only between Xu Jie and Gao Shiyan that you may have to consider it.

After the game, according to Guo Shiqiang's statement at the press conference, "The Chinese men's basketball team is preparing to set off for Saudi Arabia on July 30." He thought that the final 12-man roster of the Asian Cup would be determined before this, but the Chinese men's basketball team decided that 14 players would go to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia together, including Xu Jie, Gao Shiyan and Zhang Ning.

Just before the Chinese men's basketball team set out for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, news suddenly came out that the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team had been confirmed, and the focus was on mentioning that Gao Shiyan was selected and Xu Jie was defeated, and he used the FIBA Asia official website list as a basis. Before the Chinese men's basketball team set out, the roster was confirmed? In fact, there are two points that are enough to prove that this news is not reliable:

First, on July 30, the Chinese men's basketball team announced that 14 players were heading to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Before the team set out, they announced that two players could not make the roster. This would have hit the players' confidence. It would be better to announce that it would be Saudi Arabia.

Second, on the list of the FIBA Asian official website, the top 12 players do not have Xu Jie, but there are actually 12 players behind, including Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo and Zhang Zhenlin.

According to the competition rules of the men's basketball team in the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team needs to submit the final 12-man roster to the official within 48 hours before the start of the game. That is to say, the Chinese men's basketball team will finally determine the 12-man roster in the Asian Cup on August 3, and that list is accurate.

As for why the Chinese men's basketball team brought 14 people to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, it should be because they are afraid that the players will be injured unexpectedly. Taking these two more is to prevent accidents from happening, but this can only be replaced within 24 hours before the start of the game.

I believe that the Chinese men's basketball team will make the right choice in line with the interests of the team based on the actual situation of the team and the competitive state of the players. No matter where the two are in the end, they are worthy of admiration for fans. After all, regardless of personal gains and losses, for the sake of the national team's honor, they have persisted in participating in the national team training for a long time and have done everything a professional player should do.
