htmlThe 114-man roster includes a full 6 defenders. The Chinese men’s basketball team ’s lineup for the World Cup preliminaries surprised most fans. With the flexibility and speed of the defenders, whether they can compete with a strong team like Australia has become everyone’s question. issues of greatest concern. Yesterday, the Chinese men's basketball team, which has been training for nearly a month, officially set off for Australia, where they will participate in the Asian qualifiers for the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup. They will compete with the Australian men's basketball team and the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team respectively. A two-round fight.
There are a total of 14 players left in the men's basketball roster for this expedition, including Guo Ailun, Zhao Jiwei and Fu Hao from the Liaoning men's basketball team. The Guangdong Men's Basketball Team also has three players selected, namely Zhao Rui , Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie .
It is worth mentioning that CBALiao and Guangdong teams alone have already selected 5 defenders. In addition, the main point guard of the Guangsha team that reached the finals this year Sun Minghui has been selected. This time he went to China in Australia. There are as many as 6 guards in the men's basketball lineup. This ratio is not common in previous training rosters, so it has also caused some controversy among fans.
In fact, the controversy over the selection of 6 defenders at the same time is not only due to doubts about the ability of the defenders, but also concerns that the entire team's lineup structure is unbalanced. Too many defenders will inevitably lead to The lineup is weak in other positions, and the most worrying thing about this lineup is the thinness of the forward personnel.
Because in terms of the inside, Zhou Qi, who played in the NBL league in Australia last season, is the leader, bringing together many inside players in the CBA league , Wang Zhelin, Shen Zijie, Fu Hao and Ren Junwei has a total of 5 players supporting the team's rotating lineup at positions 4 and 5 inside.
As for the No. 3 small forward position, 3 spots are cautiously left. These include experienced pitcher Gu Quan, Zhu Junlong who made outstanding progress last season, and Lu Wenbo, who was finally selected to the list at the buzzer. Among them, Zhu Junlong and Lu Wenbo are both young players and are selected for the Chinese men's basketball team for the first time. Therefore, their performance in the international arena still needs to be tested.
Because of this, the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to use a three-guard lineup in this world preliminaries. It can also be seen from the formations of the previous men's basketball warm-up matches that Guo Ailun, Zhao Jiwei and Zhao Rui often appears on the court at the same time, allowing Zhao Rui, who is taller and stronger among the guards, to take the small forward position.
It's just that in the past international competitions, the three-guard lineup did not leave a very outstanding performance. Instead, it left very painful memories for Chinese fans in the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup. Therefore, the Chinese men's basketball team's lineup of up to 6 guards this time has naturally aroused concerns among some fans, fearing that the Chinese men's basketball team will suffer losses again due to the weakness of the forward line in the world preliminaries.
