According to the original plan of the Chinese Basketball Association, the Chinese men's basketball team will compete for the Asian Cup championship. However, the team's situation has unexpected events. According to media reports, 7 players are stranded in Australia, especially Zhou Qi once fainted at the airport. Fortunately, according to reports from media person Shao Huaqian, Zhou Qi's physical condition has improved and there is nothing serious. In addition, the Chinese men's basketball team is also preparing to put Zhou Qi into the 12-man roster for the Asian Cup, but he may miss the first few games. Du Feng did this to retain the hope of winning the Asian Cup. He did not want to give up any opportunity!
According to what we know so far, there are only two centers Wang Zhelin and Fan Ziming among the players of the Chinese men's basketball team who can participate in the Asian Cup. Although many fans believe that the Asian Cup can be abandoned, the Chinese Basketball Association will be under tremendous pressure if the results are not good. According to the rules of the game, once the 12-man roster is determined, adjustments cannot be made. In the past two days, Du Feng has been constantly communicating with the players to understand their physical conditions, especially Zhou Qi. After all, he is the current number one player in the Chinese men's basketball team.
According to Shao Huaqian's report, several players who had colds before have improved, and some have even met the registration requirements, including Zhou Qi. In addition, Zhou Qi is very critical to the Chinese men's basketball team, so after consultation with Du Feng and Zhou Qi, the Chinese Basketball Association decided to include Zhou Qi in the 12-man roster for the Asian Cup. Of course, there is a high probability that Zhou Qi will not play in the first few games, or even arrive at the stadium. Once he meets the criteria for playing, Zhou Qi can still bring great help to the Chinese men's basketball team.
Since the registration deadline for the Asian Cup is on the 11th, the Chinese men's basketball team still has the opportunity to adjust players, including the five players who joined the FireWire, and they may not necessarily appear in the 12-man roster. After all, there will be more players in the Chinese men's basketball team in the future. Plans for overseas training and the third window period. Du Feng has recently been motivating his players not to give up in difficult situations. I hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can compete for the Asian Cup championship while being healthy!
