The Asian Cup qualifiers are currently underway, and the Chinese men's basketball team previously defeated Guam with a score of 101-53. With two wins and one loss in three matches, it is only a matter of time before they advance to the main event of the Asian Cup. After Guo Shiqiang became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he has heavily relied on a group of young players, including Zeng Fanbo, Hu Mingxuan, Yang Hanshen, and others, who have not disappointed. Especially Zeng Fanbo, who displayed his extraordinary talent in the game against Guam, effortlessly making three-pointers and dunks, scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block in the game, which is quite puzzling as Zeng Fanbo is not even the core player of Beijing Shougang. Next, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Mongolia, with a very high chance of securing a second consecutive victory. The official announcement from the Chinese men's basketball team also revealed that three players have temporarily withdrawn and returned to their clubs, namely Zou Yuchen, Lu Wenbo, and Liu Li Jia. Guo Shiqiang will lead a squad of 14 players into battle. The lineup for the Chinese men's basketball team against Mongolia is expected to include the following: Guards: Gao Shiyan, Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, Wang Lanqin, Cheng Shaipeng, Xu Jie Forwards: Zhang Ning, Zhu Junlong, Zeng Fanbo, Fu Hao, Du Runwang Centers: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hanshen, Yu Jiahao The Chinese men's basketball team is expected to field a starting lineup of Liao Sanning, Hu Mingxuan, Zhu Junlong, Zeng…

The second phase of the CBA regular season is about to come to a close, and the main event that follows will be the men's basketball Asian Cup qualifiers. The rematch against Japan on February 20th is a crucial match that cannot afford to be lost. In the first match against Japan, the Chinese men's basketball team suffered a defeat with a score of 73-76, which was also the first time in 88 years that China lost to Japan in the FIBA system. The second match sees the Chinese team at home, determined to avenge their loss, and tensions are high as both sides prepare for battle. However, Coach Guo faces difficulties, as choosing the right lineup has become a tricky issue. Here's an estimated list of the strongest 14 players: Many national-level players are currently dealing with injuries, including Liaoning's Zhang Zhenlin and Zhao Jiwei, Guangdong's Hu Mingxuan, Beijing's Zhou Qi, Zhejiang's Yu Jiahao and Wu Qian, Beikong's Liao Sanning, and Guangzhou's Jiao Boqiao. It's unlikely that these players will be able to participate, leaving Coach Guo with limited options for his roster. However, the Chinese men's basketball talent pool is rich, and Coach Guo has multiple choices available. The projected 14-man roster should look like this: Frontcourt: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hansen, Li Yanzhe, Liu Chuanxing (or Zou Yuchen, Xu Xin) Wings: Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Ning, Qi Lin, Cheng Shaipeng, Li Hongquan Backcourt: Xu Jie, Zhao Rui, Lin Cang, Sun Minghui, Gao Shiyan These players are considered the strongest from various domestic clubs. Playing against Japan should not be…

The main event for the Chinese men's basketball team in 2025 is the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup. The third window period of the Asian Cup qualifiers will be held on February 20 and 23, with matches against Japan and Guam respectively. The official tournament dates for the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup are August 5 to 17, and it will be held in Saudi Arabia. It is now mid-January, and the Chinese men's basketball team will reconvene in February to prepare for the Asian qualifiers after the New Year. The men's basketball roster will also be announced soon, but this time it is different from previous rosters because three national players have been ruled out due to injuries and will not be able to participate in the Asian qualifiers. They are Zhang Zhenlin, Hu Mingxuan, and Jiao Boqiao. Zhang Zhenlin and Hu Mingxuan have suffered a recurrence of old injuries, while Jiao Boqiao has a confirmed ligament tear. Whether he undergoes surgery or not is yet to be determined, but regardless, he will miss the February Asian qualifiers. Therefore, Coach Guo Shiqiang has no choice but to look for new talent. He has even gone to the United States to observe new stars such as Zhao Weilun, Wang Junjie, and Xun Sannan. The purpose is clear; Guo Shiqiang wants to cultivate them for the future. Although these individuals are the hope for the future of the men's basketball team, they cannot solve the urgent needs of the team. Coach Guo Shiqiang's main priority now is to find players who…
