As the Asian Cup of the Men's Basketball Team approaches, the Chinese team's roster is about to emerge. Although the Chinese team has two warm-up games left in the next, judging from the current personnel configuration of the men's basketball team, the 12-man roster of the Chinese team is actually very clear. With Xu Xin and Liu Jinyu leaving the team early, there are only 16 players left in the Chinese team. After Yang Hansen was confirmed to miss the Asian Cup, Zhou Qi definitely needed to return, and Hu Mingxuan, Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Rui and others were also selected for Worry-free. Xu Jie, Raymond, Liu Lijia and Li Xiangbo are likely to be eliminated.

Let's take a look at the current roster of the men's basketball team. After Xu Xin and Liu Jinyu left, the Chinese team was left with Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui, Xu Jie, Cheng Shuipeng, Liao Sanning, Gao Shiyan, Zhu Junlong, Zhang Ning, Zhao Jiayi, Raymond, Liu Lijia, Li Xiangbo, Hu Jinqiu, Wang Junjie, Yu Jiahao and Zhou Qi. After Yang Hansen was absent and Zeng Fanbo and Zhang Zhenlin were absent due to injuries, these 16 people are now the strongest lineup that the Chinese men's basketball team can send. This group of players will also be the main players in the future World Cup and Olympics.

Inside, Yang Hansen is sure not to play in the Asian Cup. This means that Zhou Qi must return to the team, otherwise the Chinese team will appear very weak at the No. 5 position. In addition to Zhou Qi, the remaining two players in the inside will definitely appear in the Asian Cup. In this warm-up match, Yu Jiahao was in good shape and became the most stable player in the Chinese team's No. 5 position. Born in 2003, he is only 22 years old this year. For a long time in the future, he may become a good helper for Yang Hansen.

At the front line position, with the withdrawal of Zhang Zhenlin and Zeng Fanbo, the competition on the front line is not so fierce. Zhu Junlong and Zhao Jiayi, the positions of these two are already very stable. They are one of the starters in Guo Shiqiang's lineup. As for young player Wang Junjie, he was the biggest discovery in this warm-up match. Without Zhang Zhenlin and Zeng Fanbo, he became one of the most talented players in the men's basketball forward position. In addition, Cheng Shuipeng's recent performance has also been extremely eye-catching, which also allows him to get a quota for the front line. The remaining seat is likely to be a choice between Zhang Ning and Raymond. At present, Zhang Ning has a greater advantage. In terms of the back line, there is no dispute that Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui and Liao Sanning are selected. They are also the strongest guards in the men's basketball team, and Guo Shiqiang has no reason not to take them. The remaining two defenders, Xu Jie and Gao Shiyan, are obviously better than Gao Shiyan in terms of age, organization and scoring ability, but the latter also has an advantage in defensive end and height. Moreover, Gao Shiyan is Guo Shiqiang's direct player. If nothing unexpected happens, Gao Shiyan will eventually squeeze out Xu Jie and take the last bus on the Asian Cup roster.

For the Chinese team, the pressure of this Asian Cup is quite large. On the one hand, the opponents are very strong. On the other hand, the Chinese team currently lacks manpower, and Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo and Zhang Zhenlin are absent. This is still a huge blow to the Chinese team's inside and forward line. Moreover, although Zhou Qi returned to the team after recovering from injury, he was really indefinitely in his condition. At present, he is the only person who can handle the inside of the men's basketball team.
