The world of basketball

Chapter 120 32 Team
August 12st is the training time for the national team. At this time, all the [-]-man rosters in the lineup are present.

Zhao Jiwei, Guo Ailun, Xiaoding, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Zhao Rui, Abdul Saramu, Li Gen, Mu Xiaobei, Zhou Peng, Han Dejun and Wu Qian.

The most regrettable thing among them is Wang Zhelin. This once extremely talented insider was squeezed out of the list by Mu Xiaobei. It's not that he is not strong. The toe injury also made Wang Zhelin really unable to play in the World Cup. It's a pity.

In this lineup, Mu Xiaobei, Zhao Jiwei, Han Dejun and Guo Ailun were all former Bengang team players, and everyone has a good understanding.

During the training camp, Director Gong Luming and Yao Ming both came to the scene. Although Director Gong has retired, he still pays close attention to the dynamics and situation of the national team.

Li Nan came to the training camp as the coach of the national team and assistant coach Li Ke. Everyone played CBA together, but they also have connections in daily life, even the newcomer Mu Xiaobei also has connections with everyone.

Among them, Guo Ailun and Yi Jianlian have the best relationship with him. The former is his big brother who has always taken care of him when he was in Bengang, and the latter is one of the mentors who taught him his own experience.

But now Li Nan has a very sweet trouble, and that is the combination of insiders.

Mu Xiaobei, Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian are all very good insiders, including Han Dejun's strength and confrontation are also very important for the national team. Now the question is, how should they combine to maximize their power?
In addition, the starting double guns in the backcourt are confirmed. They must be the Liaoning twin stars Zhao Jiwei and Guo Ailun. At the beginning of this season, Zhao Jiwei was plagued by injuries, and he was not able to return to the court until mid-December , the current state is hot.

Li Nan was a little hesitant in the position of the third position. Zhou Peng, as the old captain of the national team, was a bit unreasonable not to start. It also seems to be very good to be placed in the third position.

Li Nan decided to keep calm and think about this issue after half a month of training, because it also involves chemical reactions and what kind of lineup is the best.

In the NBA, the crazy offseason is still going on, and the results of the draft have come out. The Spurs used their No.17 pick to select a No. [-] named James Monto, who is [-] meters tall and has a wingspan Two meters one two, the wingspan is not outstanding, the body is relatively thin, the jumping ability is not strong, and the lateral movement speed is excellent.

Looking at this physical talent, he is not considered outstanding, but he has an excellent shooting ability. In college, he was able to shoot 30.00% of the eight field goals, which made his draft template be Channing Frye.

It can be regarded as a tall three-point fort with average defensive ability. It can be seen that the process of chasing Cousins ​​​​is not particularly smooth for the Spurs, so they chose a fourth position.

But the arrival of Monto can be regarded as filling a large part of the vacancy on the Spurs' offensive end. After all, Kuzma is relatively familiar with the third position now.

During the training camp, the relationship between the players and coaches of the national team has become closer and closer, and the tacit understanding among the players has also begun to come back.

After all, everyone often plays games together. Now, Mu Xiaobei is the rookie who has just integrated in. But the brothers of the national team all bring Mu Xiaobei, so Mu Xiaobei's integration into the lineup is also very fast.

After the qualifiers, all 32 teams came out.

Among them, in addition to the host Chinese team, five teams from seven teams from the Asia-Pacific region, [-] teams from Europe, seven teams from the Americas, and five teams from Africa.

Among them, in addition to China, the other teams are South Korea, Australia, Iran, the Philippines, New Zealand, Japan, and Syria in the Asia-Pacific region.

The twelve European teams are: France, Lithuania, Spain, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey, Germany, Greece, Finland, Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia.

Americas: United States, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Canada, Mexico, Dominica.

The African regions are: Tunisia, Angola, Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon.

Since then, all 32 teams have been assembled. Since the number of teams participating in the World Cup has changed from 24 to 32, the competition system has also been adjusted.

First, the 32 teams will be divided into eight groups, with four teams in each group. The top two teams in each group will enter the next round, and the bottom two teams will enter the 17th to 32nd qualifying round.

The sixteen teams that advanced to the next round will enter the group stage again, and will be divided into four groups according to the results of the group stage in the first stage. The top two teams in the group stage in the second stage will enter the quarterfinals, and the remaining teams will be ranked 9 to 16. qualifying.

Then the top eight teams will compete in a cross-elimination method, and finally produce the 2019 World Cup champion.

The most important thing is that the results of this year's Men's Basketball World Cup are related to the men's basketball quota for the 20 Tokyo Olympics. Among them, seven teams directly qualified for the competition, and the remaining four places were selected through qualifying competitions.

The group that the Chinese team was assigned to in the first round of the group stage was relatively easy. The four teams in Group C were the Chinese team, the Japanese team, the Australian team and the Philippine team.

Coincidentally, they are all teams from the Asia-Pacific region. The four teams from the Asia-Pacific region were assigned to the same group. It is a repeat of the Asian Games. Among them, the Japanese team is the weakest team, but they don’t need to be too good Ranking can directly enter the Olympic Games.

Australia is undoubtedly the strongest team, among which Mills, Ingles, Ben Simmons, Bogut, Dellavedova, Exum, these are all teams in the NBA can play Very important rotation position players.

There is no doubt that this Australian team is a strong team that can wrestle with the US team. It is not to say that they worship foreigners. To be honest, the chances of winning against the Australian Chinese team are very small.

Clarkson finally chose to play for the Philippines. There are two old and strong players in the Philippine men's basketball team, Blatche and Castro. But to be honest, the lineup of the Philippines is stronger than that of Japan. The Chinese team is still a bit weaker. The main reason is that the Philippine team is too young to pick up. The veterans are too old, and the young players have not yet grown up. The core is naturally Clarkson.

This time luck is good, there are two relatively weak teams in the group stage, so it seems that the Chinese team should be relatively stable in the first round of the group stage.

During the training camp, Li Nan trained with the players while studying the team characteristics of the two teams in the group stage and thinking about how to play their own characteristics.

In the end, Li Nan made a choice and determined the starting lineup of Zhao Jiwei-Guo Ailun-Xiaoding-Mu Xiaobei-Zhou Qi.
