Although everyone was looking forward to it, this list was not announced by the men's basketball team until one day before the opening game of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Yi Jianlian, An Luo, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Guo Ailun, Fang Shuo, Zhao Jiwei, Sun Minghui, Abdul Saramu, Ren Junfei, Ke Lanbaike and Zhai Xiaochuan were finally shortlisted for the competition.
It can be seen that the candidates for the inside and backcourt are the same as most people think.But the weakest striker has a bigger problem. Zhou Peng accidentally fractured his toe during training a few days ago and was unable to compete with the team for this World Cup.This is a big loss for the men's basketball team.But at this time, there is nothing to do. We can only hope that players such as Zhai Xiaochuan, Abdul Saramu, and Kolan Bek will work harder.
An Luo joined the training camp in early August, but other players have been training under the leadership of head coach Li Nan for two months.Since the concentration in early May, the Chinese men's basketball team has gone through more than three months of training and preparations, and finally selected the final 12-man roster.During this period, they played a total of 17 warm-up matches, with a record of 12 wins and 5 losses.The brand-new lineup formed with Yi Jianlian and An Luo as the core of the inside and outside, let everyone see infinite possibilities.
"For the coaching staff, it is very difficult to determine the roster, because each player has their own characteristics. This summer everyone has practiced very hard, and we must choose carefully. In addition, during training and games , the team will inevitably have some injury problems, in order to prepare for unexpected events, we did not announce the list until today."
At the press conference after the training camp, the men's basketball coach Li Nan shared with everyone about the national team training camp.
"From the beginning of the training camp to the present, we have been plagued by injuries. Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Peng are both very good players, especially on the front line. They can play a big role. At present, our front line manpower will indeed be a little bit Tight. However, I believe that other players can make up for this problem to the greatest extent, and we will also adopt different combinations for different opponents and situations on the field. I hope that the upcoming World Cup will keep injuries away from players. Secondly, this year The Men's Basketball World Cup is held at the 'doorstep', which is motivation and pressure. There are too many young players in this team, and many of them are playing in the World Series for the first time. They need to convert the pressure into motivation."
Li Nan also made great contributions to the men's basketball team.Of course, that was when he was a player.He is still a rookie in the role of head coach of the national team.The game at home is not only an opportunity not to be missed for the players, but also a rare opportunity for Li Nan.As long as good results are achieved in this World Cup, it will be a great mark in Li Nan's coaching career.However, in the face of opportunities, there is greater pressure.He said that the pressure should be turned into motivation well, not only for the players, but also for himself.
Among the twelve players on the squad, there are three centers, four forwards, and five defenders.Regarding such an arrangement, in fact, everyone has doubts.The national team now has a star backcourt pair of An Luo and Guo Ailun, so there is really no need to hoard so many players.But Li Nan's explanation is: These five players are very distinctive.In the World Cup, he will make different combinations of these players and use them to different degrees according to specific situations.
It seems that it still makes sense.
This men's basketball national team has a very obvious feature: young.The average age of the team is only 25 years old, the oldest is Yi Jianlian born in 1987, the youngest is An Luo born in 1997, Zhou Qi and Abdul Saramu are only one year older than An Luo; the rest of the players Most are between the ages of 25 and 29 and are at the peak of their careers.
It can be seen that Li Nan really wants to play aggressively and aggressively.This is exactly the advantage of young people, and it is also the need to build the men's basketball team in a longer-term direction.Young people just want to get more exercise. The current men's basketball team has just passed the fault period, and there are more and more young people in the team. This kind of opportunity is very much needed.Li Nan and his coaching staff must have considered this aspect in selecting such a lineup.
"No matter how many difficulties and challenges there are, we must get the best ranking we can while ensuring that we qualify from the group, and play the characteristics and attitude of our young men's basketball team."
Li Nan's statement was exactly what everyone expected.
On August 8, the national team's training camp officially ended, and the players got a rare day off.Of course, everyone didn't go anywhere that day. After all, if they ran out, it would be too eye-catching.At the moment of the war, keep a low profile.
"Come back from victory and celebrate!"
In order not to be slapped in the face, it is natural to "show off" after having achieved results.This point, the domestic players are deeply touched.Don't look at those fans who are all very cute before the game, but if they play an ugly game, they will definitely be sprayed to pieces.These players who are well-versed in China naturally understand this.
In fact, Li Nan didn't give them that chance either. On the afternoon of the 29th, he took the players on the plane to Beijing.That night, this group of people got together and repeatedly watched the game video of the Ivorian men's basketball team.
It is a good habit to study opponents before the game.But in An Luo's view, Li Nan was a little too fussy.The Côte d'Ivoire men's basketball team is not a strong team, and An Luo has never even heard of the name of this country before.After watching the video of the opponent's game, An Luo's attitude became serious.Judging from the video, the Ivorian men's basketball team is not bad.The players have excellent physical fitness, like confrontation, and defend fiercely.The Côte d'Ivoire men's basketball team is definitely a tough opponent!
While watching the video, Li Nan explained to the players what needs to be paid attention to during the game.He was definitely the most serious person in the room.He will be very detailed, every point that can affect the progress of the game will be paused, carefully analyzed and explained.More importantly, as a person who has transformed from a player to a coach, Li Nan knows what he should give these young players.
This works very well.After watching the last video, all the players were full of confidence in the first game of the group stage.One by one is eager to try, wishing to fight with each other right away.An Luo even felt that the Ivorian men's basketball team had become weaker.
