Guo Shiqiang s 12-man roster in the Asian Cup was exposed. Only 11 people in the Netherlands appeared and left a place for him

On July 16, the Chinese men's basketball team held its first public warm-up match in Europe, and it was also the first public match since the training camp this summer. The opponent is the Dutch men's basketball national team, of course not the complete Dutch national team, but basically the Dutch second team. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the opponent 84:76. Based on this warm-up match, we can judge the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team this year.

The Chinese men's basketball team has a total of 17 players. The 12-man rosters registered for this game against the Netherlands include:

Center: Hu Jinqiu, Yu Jiahao

Forwards: Zhu Junlong, Zhao Jiayi, Wang Junjie, Li Xiangbo

Defenders: Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, Gao Shiyan, Zhang Ning, Cheng Shuipeng

5 other people did not enter the 12-man roster, namely Xu Jie, Xu Xin, Leimon, Liu Lijia, and Liu Jinyu. However, in this game that has nothing to do with the victory or defeat, Li Xiangbo and one person who registered for the 12-man roster did not appear. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Xiangbo will eventually lose to the 12-man roster of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team Asian Cup.

Most likely, Guo Shiqiang felt that Li Xiangbo had no value for investigation, and his height was only 2.01 meters. Li Xiangbo was obviously not tall enough to play in the inside, so he simply refused to let him play. In addition, Yang Hansen, who is far away from the ocean, will come back to play the Asian Cup, so Guo Shiqiang has a better candidate in the inside. In other words, the 11 players who played in this game against the Netherlands + Yang Hansen is the 12-man roster in this Asian Cup this year. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is injured in the later warm-up match, so that adjustments can be made in individual positions.

If the above 12 people are included in the final Asian Cup roster, there is nothing particularly surprising. Except for Wang Junjie, the other 11 people are all old faces. They were also selected for Guo Shiqiang's national team last year. If these 12 people entered this year's Asian Cup, they would definitely have a great advantage in the inside height, but their forward ability is a bit weak. Do you think these people can help the Chinese men's basketball team win the Asian Cup?
