Zhang Ning, finally entered the national team!

The Chinese Basketball Association plans to organize a training camp at the Training Bureau of the General Administration of Sports of China from November 4 to November 20, and at the same time announced the training list.

Defenders: Wang Lanyan, Cheng Shuaipeng, Lu Wenbo, Xu Jie, Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, Zhang Ning, Gao Shiyan.

Forwards: Fu Hao, Du Runwang, Zhu Junlong, Liu Lijia, Zeng Fanbo.

Inside: Yu Jiahao, Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hansen, Zou Yuchen, Jiao Boqiao.

Head coach Guo Shiqiang talked about the selection criteria: "In the new Olympic cycle, in addition to preparing for the 2025 Asian Cup, we also need to take a long-term view and prepare for the 2027 Men's Basketball World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. We comprehensively considered the multi-faceted quality of the athletes and the objective injury situation, and combined with the needs of the overall position of the team, we formulated the list of this training camp. ”

Judging from the latest list of 18 people, the most discussed point is undoubtedly the selection of "veteran" Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning was selected for the five-man men's national basketball team for the first time, which is a matter of expectation.

At the same time, it is also a recognition of his recent form.

This season, he averaged 15.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and was the top scorer for Shanxi team.

"Hard" is his label.

Especially after the 3x3 basketball experience of the wandering earth, the ball has risen.

From cardiopulmonary ability to individual offensive ability, there has been an improvement, which can be seen through CBA competitions.

From my personal feelings, the national team should really give a try to such a player.

He is playing basketball with ruthlessness, emotion, and "hatred", which is especially needed to play continental games.

Zhang Ning is a passionate player in our own league.

It's not that he's going to be able to make a difference, but he can make sure he's on the floor for a minute and fighting for 60 seconds.

So, give it a try, who knows.

The short-term goal of this training camp is Hefei at home against Guam on November 21 and away against Mongolia on November 24.

Wait until February next year, and face the Japanese men's basketball team.

At that time, Yuta Watanabe will most likely play, which is what I am looking forward to the most.

After all, teams like Guam and Mongolia, no matter who they bring and how much training value the competition can bring, everyone who understands it.

But playing Japan is different, one is personal emotions and emotions, and the other is that you still need to play against the best teams in Asia at this stage to look at the problems and understand the gap.

Even if the game is only the Asian Cup, Hachimura and Kawamura are not there.

Thinking only from the perspective of the nature of the game, the current Asian Cup is a chicken rib event, and the Japanese team will not be the main force.

Why? The Asian champions are no longer tied to the Olympic quotas.

In the past, the Asian Championships were won directly to the Olympics, and we targeted teams such as Iran, South Korea, Jordan, and Japan.

Now, you need to get the best results in Asia in the World Cup to get through, this is the only way...

There are a lot of blind fans in the Chinese circle.The FIBA restructuring is not considered in the slightest。

Then let Yao Ming carry all the pots...

When he opened his mouth, a similar voice came: "We will go to the Olympics in 2016, Da Yao, you will be the chairman of the Basketball Association in 2017, we will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games, you are not responsible?" ”

I didn't even know that the qualification for the Olympics was based on the performance of the World Cup, and the best team in Asia went.

In last year's World Cup, Japan won against Finland and took the absolute initiative.

So, now I see it: if the Asian team wants to go to the Olympics, then the European team (or the African team) will have a chance to win the World Cup.

Japan did it, and we lost South Sudan and Puerto Rico ourselves, so we can't blame anyone else.

It is an indisputable fact that the strength of the men's basketball team has declined under Da Yao's tenureAfter all, there is no even the United Arab Emirates in the last edition, let alone the World Series, and the competitiveness in Asia has seriously declined.

But Da Yao really didn't catch up with the good times...

In the past, the Asian Cup (Asian Championships), which was related to the qualification for the Olympic Games, had to be held in China. （2011/2015）

Sitting on the home field, you can really take advantage.

If you don't believe it, you can go and see how the referee blew Jordan in Wuhan in 2011... By the way, in the Asian Cup that year, Yao Ming still commented.

From the latest list, let's talk about history, it seems to be far away, but combined with Yao Ming's resignation, I want to say: It's unnecessary to scold when you open your mouth.

Some people spray without even understanding the most basic rules...

Indeed, outrageous.
