The competition is here again! In the qualifiers of the Chinese Men s Basketball World Cup, 4 players need to return, and 4 players can be eliminated!

With Hu Mingxuan missing a three-pointer, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Australia by 1 point and won the runner-up of the Asian Cup. This is the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in international competitions in the past 10 years. We would like to congratulate the Chinese men's basketball team and coach Guo Shiqiang. But the journey has not ended here, and the Chinese men's basketball team is about to usher in a big test again, that is, the World Cup qualifiers in November. The importance of the game is self-evident. Combined with the performance of players during the Asian Cup, the author believes that 4 people need to return and 4 people can be eliminated. As early as May 13, the Asian division group of the World Cup qualifiers had completed the draw. The Chinese men's basketball team, the Japanese men's basketball team, the Korean men's basketball team, and the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team were jointly assigned to Group B. This group of opponents is not weak, especially Japan has NBA-level athletes like Hachimura Ai and Kawamura Yuki. They represented Asia in the Paris Olympics last year. According to the rules of the event, although the top three in the group can advance to the second round, the points in the group stage must be accumulated to the second round, so every game in the group stage is very important. Starting from November 28, the Chinese men's basketball team will start the first window of the 27-year World Cup qualifiers. On November 28 and December 1, the Chinese men's basketball team will play against South Korea. As we all know, the level of the World Cup qualifiers is far higher than that of the Asian Cup. At that time, all countries will send the strongest lineup to play, and the Chinese men's basketball team will naturally give full play. Specifically, there are four people who must return to the Chinese men's basketball team, namely Yang Hansen, Zhou Qi, Zeng Fanbo and Cui Yongxi in the inside.

Yang Hansen was originally an important pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team's inside line. This 19-year-old talented center is not only comprehensively skilled in offense and defense, but also has outstanding support and passing vision. I believe that after the NBA experience, Yang Hansen's personal ability will enter a new level, and his joining will surely enrich the tactics of the Chinese men's basketball team; Zhou Qi was originally on the team's roster this Asian Cup, but in the end he was helplessly absent due to injury. Zhou Qi's characteristic is outstanding rebounding and rim protection skills, which can complement Hu Jinqiu and Yang Hansen. If he can return to the team in time, the Chinese men's basketball team will have no shortcomings in the interior.

Zeng Fanbo, like Zhou Qi, did not participate in this year's Asian Cup due to injury. Zeng Fanbo's characteristics are excellent physical fitness, both internal and external, and both scoring explosiveness and defensive flexibility. He is an indispensable offensive and defensive force in the Chinese men's basketball forward line. If he can return to the team in time, he will definitely make up for the shortcomings of the Chinese men's basketball forward line. Although Cui Yongxi suffered a serious knee injury, he has been training in the NBA for a long time. Not only did he have outstanding shooting ability, but he is also comprehensive on the defensive end, with fast moving speed and strong stealing ability. His return to the team can make the Chinese men's basketball team's offense and defense even more like fish in the outside.

With the return of the above four players, four will inevitably face elimination. If nothing unexpected happens, these four people should be Yu Jiahao, Zhao Jiayi, Raymond and Li Xiangbo.

Although Yu Jiahao is 2.21 meters tall, he not only lacks the ability to independently attack in the inside, but also has a strong ability to finish with cakes. What is even more incomprehensible is that he can't grab rebounds. With Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen's return to the team, the Chinese men's basketball team is full of insiders. It can be foreseeable that Yu Jiahao will almost certainly lose the position of the substitute center; while Raymond is due to his age, after all, he is already 30 years old, and his functions are too single. His performance this Asian Cup is still a bit lower than expected, so his position will be replaced by Zeng Fanbo.

As for Li Xiangbo, his tactical status in this Asian Cup has been declining, his playing time is limited and his performance is mediocre. His hardness and mobility are not very good on the court, and he even lost his chance to play. It should be reasonable for him to be eliminated. From playing as a starting player to playing as a substitute, to being abandoned, Zhao Jiayi is also a gradually marginalized player. He lacks the ability to break through the ball and lacks defensive and confrontation. The long-term single technical problem has always been difficult to solve, and it is expected that his elimination will be a matter of time.
