392 The Opener!
In the eyes of many Chinese people, the World Cup is held at home, and this is an opportunity for the men's basketball team to rise again, and for the new men's basketball leadership team, it is indeed time to see the results after so long of reform.
After all, no one wants to hear perfunctory words like "the men's basketball team is still in the throes of the old and the new" after the World Cup.
However, competitive sports can sometimes be unsatisfying, so the pressure is unprecedented, and the best way to minimize it is to prepare for it.
began to prepare for the World Cup a month later, Jin Feng disappeared from the public eye again, because this national team adopts an absolutely closed training camp, so even those reporters who have "a lot of methods" are difficult to collect any news from Jin Feng.
On the one hand, he is familiar with the tactical system of the national team and the tacit cooperation with his teammates, and on the other hand, this is not the recovery of his own strength.
During this period, Jin Feng's ability in training also completely conquered the teammates of the national team, after all, Jin Feng is indeed more than one grade higher than their ability, so invisibly, Jin Feng has truly become the absolute core of the national team.
As for Jin Feng himself, he did not shirk this kind of honor that was invisibly added to himself, after all, he knew very well in his heart that the more honors, the more responsibilities he would bear, and from his point of view, he naturally did not want to see the World Cup trip a month later.
…………
Overall, the closed training camp has achieved good results.
On August 7, Beijing time, the Basketball Association officially announced the final 12-member roster: Jin Feng, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Guo Allen, Ding Yanyuhang, Zou Yucheng, Zhai Xiaochuan, Zhou Peng, Zhao Yanhao, Hu Jinqiu, Liu Xiaoyu, Li Gen!
After all, no matter from which point of view, this 12-man squad is the strongest team in the Chinese men's basketball team at this stage.
This final squad still inherits the tradition of the Chinese men's basketball team focusing on the inside line, and the four big inside lines led by Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi are also relatively strong among all the teams participating in the World Cup.
The first is Yi Jianlian, whose personal ability is recognized, and before Jin Feng, the United Arab Emirates also took on the responsibility of the leader of the men's basketball team alone.
followed by Zhou Qi, although he did not get too many opportunities to play in the Houston Rockets for two seasons, his ability to improve is still great, coupled with his height advantage, on the defensive end, he will be the strongest barrier on the inside of the Chinese men's basketball team.
As for Hu Jinqiu and Zou Yucheng, these two are also among the top insiders in China.
In the position of small forward, there are two consecutive MVP winners Ding Yanyuhang, supplemented by Beijing Shougang Zhai Xiaochuan, which is also relatively competitive, Ding Yanyuhang also officially signed a 1+1 contract with the NBA team Mavericks this offseason, and his strength has been NBA level.
In the point guard position, Guo Allen, known as "China's Wei Shao", has strong physical fitness, tough ball style, and suddenly sharp, and has now grown into the first point guard in Asia, and it is also the best choice to have him as the commander of this national team.
As for the position of the final scoring guard, it is undoubtedly the most reassuring point of the five positions, and it is also recognized as the strongest point.
On the whole, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Jin Feng does have a certain gap with the super strong teams of the American men's basketball team, but it is also the strongest national team of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past ten years.
Jin Feng is the absolute star and core leader of this national team, but in the same way, Jin Feng's performance also determines the ceiling of this national team.

This is a good group for the Chinese team playing at home, after all, avoiding top teams such as the United States and Spain in the group stage, which invisibly increases the ease of appearing in the group.
In the same group, in addition to Mexico, there are also African teams Senegal and European team Slovenia.
