The Chinese men's basketball team has arrived in Tehran, Iran, and is ready for the final preparations for the fifth window of the World Cup. On November 11, Beijing time, the Chinese men's basketball team will usher in a strong showdown with Iran. This game is crucial to the Chinese men's basketball team and determines whether the men's basketball team can qualify in advance and qualify for the World Cup main match.
For head coach Du Feng , these two games of are also a great test for him. After all, the injury situation of the main members is extremely difficult. It remains to be seen whether this discounted national team can withstand the offensive of the Iranian men's basketball team.
According to the official announcement of Chinese Basketball Association , the 12-man roster against the Iranian men's basketball team was released, namely:
- inside line: Zhou Qi , Wang Zhelin and Shen Zijie ;
- forward line: Zhou Peng , Gu Quan , Zhu Junlong , Ren Junfei ;
- guards: Zhao Rui , Xu Jie , Wu Qian , Wang Yibo , Jiang Weize .
Among them, Zhou Qi, who had been rumored to not appear on the stage, appeared on the roster, but this time the coaching staff will still take his health as the first consideration factor. Whether he will appear at that time depends on Zhou Qi's recovery.
If Zhou Qi is absent, then the men's basketball team's game against Iran will be in danger. After all, Zhou Qi has a great impact on both ends of the men's basketball team's offense and defense; once is absent, the men's basketball team's inside defense is a very big problem. Wang Zhelin or Shen Zijie alone may not be able to shock the penalty area, and even a good frame protection cannot be formed, which is a very big blow to the men's basketball team. Zhou Qi is on the list this time and may not be able to play, but it is also a threat to Iran.
Du Feng fought back, or put on a magical lineup to win
For coach Du Feng, these two games are crucial. On the one hand, this is a key game for the men's basketball team to get World Cup tickets. On the other hand, Director Du has suffered too many doubts this summer. Whether it is Asian Cup , or the two games against Kazakhstan and Bahrain in the World Cup qualifiers, everyone has a little doubt about this Chinese men's basketball team, and he is also full of doubts about the coach of the national team. Therefore, in these two World Cup qualifiers, coach Du Feng had no way out and could only fight back.
We have never seen any national team in history with such a serious absence of the main players. Guo Ailun , Zhao Jiwei , Zhang Zhenlin , Hu Jinqiu , Sun Minghui , Abdu Shalamu and many others are absent. In addition, Zhou Qi may not be able to play due to injury; now this men's basketball team is probably only 50% of the strength of the entire lineup, which is really too difficult!
However, for the head coach, we cannot consider the objective situation, we can only try our best to lead the team to victory. After all, competitive sports have no sympathy. In this context, I think coach Du Feng will take a unique approach and set up an unconventional lineup to face Iran. The general idea is as follows (assuming Zhou Qi does not appear):
Starting lineup is: Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, Gu Quan, Zhao Rui and Xu Jie. Why do starting defenders use Xu Jie? On the one hand, Xu Jie's ball holding and tandem connection are very online, and can be matched with Zhao Rui to form two ball holding points; on the other hand, Xu Jie's outside shot and throwing shot are very important, which can help the men's basketball team open up space; on the other hand, Du Feng's guidance is easy to use. What about the
connection segment? You can use Wu Qian and Wang Yibo to partner with the outside line. This group is old teammates, and they have a more tacit understanding of each other. Moreover, Wu Qian has always been a substitute this season and will be very adapted to the rhythm of the connection. Ren Junfei can be used to match Zhu Junlong on the front line. I hope these two national players who have performed poorly in the first stage can perform well.
fight against the enemy, come on, the Chinese men's basketball team!
