Li Nan draws lots.

On August 17, Beijing time, FIBA officially announced that the draw ceremony for the 2023 World Cup qualifiers will be held at August 3 1 day 18, Beijing time. This World Cup will be jointly hosted by Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines. This is the first time that many countries have jointly hosted it, and it is also the second World Cup after the restructuring.

As we all know, in the 20 19 Basketball World Cup, the China delegation won the contract with YCY's koi fish attribute, but unfortunately, the China men's basketball team failed to qualify for the Olympic Games in a good situation, which was controversial. After Li Nan resigned, Du Feng returned to coach the national team. In the face of Canada and Greece, it is obviously difficult to form a competitive situation.

However, after director Du Feng took office, there was a very important adjustment, that is, 20 19 basically gave up the main lineup. Except for Zhao Jiwei, qi zhou and Ren Junfei, other veteran players did not appear in the lineup of the losers of the Asian Cup qualifiers and the Olympic Games in China for various reasons. Jeff after 00, He in 1999, Shen Zijie and Zhao in 1997, Hu in 1998, and so on, entered the China men's basketball team in large numbers, gained recognition from the coaching staff through practical actions, and gained their playing time and opportunities through subsequent preparations.

Judging from their rise, it must be around the key direction of the future. As far as the old players are concerned, it is basically impossible for the 20203 World Cup preliminaries to appear in the lineup. Among them, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Han Dejun, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhai Xiaochuan and Colanbeck, if there are no special accidents, refer to the younger China men's basketball team, most of which will not be the key training direction, and even Zhou Peng, who quit the men's basketball team, will only rise when Zhao, Zhou and Zhou once rose.

Last time the China men's basketball team failed to qualify for the Olympic Games, chinese basketball association Yao Ming once said: If I find a person in charge, I should bear the loss. However, considering the actual situation, the ceiling of this group of men's basketball teams is almost visible to the naked eye, stronger than Yi Jianlian and He, and they have not proved their ability to lead the team on the world stage, while Guo, Zhou Peng and Wang Zhelin are more confined to the Asian arena.

In this regard, Yao Ming wants to train a group of competitive young players in the basketball World Cup, or in the next competition cycle, and it is bound to focus on the young players of 1997-03, so that they can take the lead and take on more important roles, rather than the old players of previous cycles.
