The National Games, held every four years, is the top sports event in China. Therefore, the provincial sports bureaus attach great importance to this event, which is also an assessment of their achievements. In order not to miss every chance to win the gold medal, Liaoning Sports Bureau took out the strongest team to participate in the U22 project of men's basketball team and strived to win the championship again. Last time, Liaoning men's basketball team won the first championship in team history under the leadership of Guo Shiqiang. This time, Yang Ming is the coach.
Liaoning team is divided into Group A, with Beijing and Hubei as opponents and Shaanxi or Tianjin as the other opponents. Although the National Games set a certain age limit for players and set up U22 groups, four over-age players were allowed.
Liaoning team has a strong lineup. Han Dejun, qi zhou, Zhang Zhenlin, Guo and Zhao Jiwei are all members of China Men's Basketball Training Team, among which Guo and Zhao Jiwei are probably the starting trio of China Men's Basketball Team. Even if this lineup is placed in CBA league, it is also a top configuration, and the team with foreign aid is not a loss. Several opponents of the Liaoning team group can't pose a threat to them. The big chance is to win lying down. Yang Ming has no sense of existence. The first place in the group has been booked in advance.
In contrast, the situation of Guangdong team is not optimistic, they are in the group of death, while Zhejiang team is not weak, and its playing style is similar to that of Guangdong. Although Guangdong has gathered outstanding players from three CBA teams and many national players, these national players play an auxiliary role in the national team, and their greatest advantage is head coach Du Feng.
The Zhejiang team is very strong this time. Janice, the MVP of CBA regular season, won the championship, with Lu Wenbo, Zhu Xuhang, Zhang Dayu, Liu Zeyi, YiBo and other main players, and Yu Jiahao, a potential center of 2.22 meters. Yu Jiahao was originally in the U 19 group and advanced to the U22 group. It can be seen that the Zhejiang team is going for the champion this time and will compete with Guangdong and Liaoning.
The group stage does not rule out the possibility that Zhejiang unexpectedly beats Guangdong. If so, Guangdong will face Liaoning in advance in the semi-final. After losing the CBA Finals, Liaoning team aims to win the National Games. Even though Guangdong has more national players, Liaoning's national players are of higher quality. Guangdong has no super foreign aid like weems and Ma Shang, and there is no Yi Jianlian. If the Liaoning team loses again this time, Yang Ming will really be ashamed to meet his fellow villagers in Liaoning.
