As Guo Shiqiang reiterates the 2028 Olympic goals, Guo Zhenming and the Basketball Association are very likely to make three major changes

After the end of the Asian Cup of the Men's Basketball Team, the Chinese men's basketball team, who returned home with a lot of money, also accepted an interview with reporters after returning to China.

Men's Basketball Coach Guo Shiqiang clearly reiterated in an interview with reporters that the main goal of this men's basketball national team is to advance to the 2028 Olympics, and the first step is to advance to the 2027 World Cup. It can be said that it is a clear "two-step" strategy!

Obviously, if you advance to the World Cup and then enter the Olympics, this goal is much more difficult than playing in the Asian Cup. Related work not only requires the efforts of coaches and players, but also requires the Basketball Association to promote related work.

This article believes that with the excellent performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Cup, Guo Zhenming and the Chinese Basketball Association are very likely to make three major changes.

1. Actively promote the naturalized small foreign players

The Chinese men's basketball team wants to rush into the World Cup and play well in the World Cup. It is difficult without small foreign players of Clarkson's level. It is OK for defenders such as Zhao Rui and Liao Sanning to play in the Asian Cup, but their ability to solve the problem is still insufficient.

To promote naturalization from CBA foreign players is a "shortcut". Goodwin's naturalization by Qatar is an example worth learning from. Of course, our ideas can also be broader, and we can also naturalize foreign players from the European League and African League.

2. Promote the "normalization" of CBA competitions

In this Asian Cup, 7 Chinese men's basketball players did not participate in the game due to injuries. The excessive physical confrontation in the CBA league is actually an important factor in player injuries.

With Yang Hansen going to the NBA this season, the CBA's physical confrontation scale was too big and it was spread overseas. So, from the perspective of the Basketball Association, it is very necessary to strengthen the management and guidance of the CBA league game standards!

3. Actively promote the discovery of U17 and U19 players Wang Junjie's outstanding performance in this Asian Cup proves that "heroes have been young since ancient times." The Basketball Association actively explores young players of U17 and U19 around the Olympics, which is particularly important for the 2028 Olympic strategy in three years!
