In recent years, every time it is the CBA offseason, I believe some news will always appear in the ears of fans. That is, in the summer, which mainland team went to Taiwan to play and lost by 50-60 points, and then there was a huge wave of public criticism of China's youth training. For example, the women's basketball team of a middle school in Liaoning recently skipped level 3 to compete, but after losing by 120 points, it was ridiculed by online public opinion. It has to be said that online comments are indeed too harsh for these young players.
However, not everyone in the domestic youth training circle is willing to be ridiculed by the Taiwan Youth Team. In the recent Straits Cup exchange match, the Zhejiang Guangsha Youth Team proved with practical actions that mainland basketball youth training is not as good as everyone imagined. So bad.

In this game, the opponents of the Zhejiang Guangsha U19 Youth Team can be said to be very strong. They faced the representatives of Taiwan Province who are about to participate in this year's U18 Asian Youth Championship team, so how strong is this Taiwan Provincial team? In the U16 Asian Youth Championship held the year before last, the Taiwan Youth Team ranked fourth and entered the U17 World Youth Championship the following year. Therefore, this group of players actually far exceeds the Guangsha team in terms of experience and ability. Among this group of players from Taiwan, there are even players like Wu Yongsheng who play in the first-level league of NCAA. It has to be said that Guangsha faces great difficulties in this game.

However, in this game, the Guangsha team showed amazing energy in the face of a strong opponent. Not only were they not as vulnerable as everyone imagined Instead, they led the way in the game. Under the leadership of Zhao Jiayi and Wu Yujia, the Guangsha team relied on a wave of momentum in the second half to defeat the U20 Taiwan representative team 84-67. It is worth noting that Wu Yongsheng, who played for Sacramento State University, only scored 6 points and 8 rebounds in this game. It can be said that he was completely suppressed by the Guangsha team's outside line during the game.

Many fans may wonder why the mainland teams have suffered miserably in so many previous games, but the Zhejiang Guangsha Youth Team was able to win the Taiwan U20 representative team? In fact, this is really a problem caused by the differences in the youth training systems between the two places. The biggest difference between Taiwan's basketball youth training and that of mainland China is that their talents are concentrated in Taiwan's education system, so the strength of Taiwan's school teams is very strong. On the mainland, most of the youth training resources are concentrated in club youth teams and youth teams under the Sports Bureau, while the strength of the education system teams is very weak.
Therefore, the "big victory" achieved by Taiwan Province in recent years was actually achieved under the situation of unequal power. Because mainland school teams can only be regarded as amateur teams, and the real professional teams still have to look at club youth teams like Zhejiang Guangsha and Shenzhen New Century.
Shenzhen New Century also won the Changyao Cup championship in 2016
So whenever a Taiwanese team encounters a mainland professional team, there is nothing they can do. This was the case for the Changyao Cup held in 2016. At that time, the Shenzhen New Century Team passed all the way. The top four teams in Taiwan were Nengren Jiashang, Nanshan High School, Taishan High School, and Songshan High School. Only Nengrenjiashang took advantage of the Shenzhen team as they got off the plane. Just one game was won, and the Shenzhen team won all other games without exception. Therefore, domestic public opinion can really stop talking about youth training teams, because they really need to have a comprehensive understanding of Chinese youth training.
