Men s basketball team s inside change! Guangdong s "new center" has steadily entered the 12-man roster, and may be reused by Guo Shiqiang

On July 4, the long offseason of the CBA League continues. In the just-concluded NBA draft, Yang Hansen, the absolute core of the Chinese men's basketball team, was selected by the Western Conference Powerhouse Portland Trail Blazers with a 16-pick in the first round. As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team once again had an NBA-level local core insider. However, Yang Hansen needs to strive for a center rotation position in the Trail Blazers in the new season, and the next NBA Summer League is likely to be unavailable. In this way, Yang Hansen basically cannot support Guo Shiqiang in this year's men's basketball team Asian Cup group stage. At this critical moment, Zhou Qi, the former inside player of the Chinese men's basketball national team, was exposed to have a relapse in a waist injury. After going to the United States for treatment, he is very likely to miss the Asian Cup group stage that will start next month.

In this way, the entire Chinese men's basketball national team only has Hu Jinqiu, Yu Jiahao and Xu Xin. As the strongest insider weapon of the Chinese men's basketball national team, Hu Jinqiu is likely to become the number one center under Guo Shiqiang. However, Hu Jinqiu was unable to play his advantage in the previous Asian games when facing inside players with stronger heights. Although Yu Jiahao is a heavy center with a height of 2.23 meters, his movement speed and mobility are easy for his opponent to target. On this basis, Guangdong's talented center Xu Xin has the opportunity to take the lead, and he will be the surprise soldier who can be entrusted with important tasks in this Asian Cup men's basketball game.

Since Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen are unable to play, it is very difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to rely solely on one inside player to guard the No. 5 position. Unless it is an NBA-level main center like Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen, it is possible that Hu Jinqiu and Yu Jiahao will be targeted by their opponents alone. Under such circumstances, many fans called on Guo Shiqiang to restart the inside double tower lineup, putting Hu Jinqiu in the No. 4 position with Xu Xin and Jiahao will definitely achieve good results. This season, Hu Jinqiu has developed the ability to shoot three-pointers from outside and has become a regular scoring method in the CBA league. Under such circumstances, Hu Jinqiu can completely swing to the No. 4 position to match Yu Jiahao and Xu Xin, and form a good inside advantage.

And Guangdong team's main center Xu Xin has a very good chance of being brought to the 12-man roster by Guo Shiqiang because he also showed signs of rising in the CBA league this season. Although Du Feng is not good at cultivating traditional centers, Xu Xin has played a role in turning the tide many times in many games of the Guangdong team this season. Under the control of absolute talent, Xu Xin's blocking ability is already the top presence in the CBA league. As long as he can strengthen his ability to eat cakes and protect the frame in the inside, Xu Xin has a chance to become a better domestic insider in China than Hu Jinqiu and Yu Jiahao.

In short, Xu Xin is still in the stage where her talent is not fully developed, and she may be further strengthened and built under Guo Shiqiang's command. In the future, once Xu Xin realizes her talent, she will definitely have a chance to become the top center of the Chinese men's basketball national team. As long as Guo Shiqiang is willing to give Xu Xin enough growth space and development opportunities, he will have a chance to become the strongest existence after Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen.
