Prediction of the 12-man roster for the Men s Basketball World Cup preliminaries, Zhou Qi returns, Yang Hansen is absent, Guo Shiqiang faces the challenge

The clarion call for the Chinese men’s basketball national team to assemble is about to sound. At the end of November, the Chinese men's basketball national team will usher in the 2025 Men's Basketball World Cup preliminaries. For the Chinese men's basketball team, this game is of great significance. It is not only the debut of the new men's basketball team. It is also Zhou Qi's comeback game after recovering from injury. Yang Hansen may be absent from the lineup in the NBA. Wang Junjie cannot escape from the NCAA campaign, and coach Guo Shiqiang faces a new challenge.

According to the schedule, the Chinese men’s basketball team will play against the South Korean team twice on November 28 and December 1. These two games will comprehensively test the strength and competitive status of the new Chinese men’s basketball team.

Although the Chinese men's basketball team has not formed a team for training, each player is training through games, and everyone is competing for the National Games schedule, which is held every four years. After the National Games, the Chinese men's basketball players have less than half a month to assemble. The itinerary is compact! Therefore, extremely high requirements are put forward for head coach Guo Shiqiang's selection requirements and team formation tactical arrangements. According to the previous grouping, the Chinese men's basketball team is in Group B with Japan, South Korea, and Chinese Taipei. This competition can only achieve the set goal by advancing. The Korean men's basketball team has always been known for its tenacity. In these two games, the Chinese team cannot afford to lose anything.

Big prediction of the 12-man roster

With the end of the National Games preliminaries and the warm-up matches of each team. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the players' performance and status in the team, the 12-man roster for the Men's Basketball World Cup preliminaries is about to be announced. Personnel predictions are made here.

Zhou Qi's return in the paint is undoubtedly the most anticipated scene. The last time he went to the United States for treatment due to injury, he missed the Asian Cup. Many fans believe that if Zhou Qi joins the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team is likely to defeat the Australian men's basketball team. Won the Asian Cup championship. However, it backfired! There are not so many ifs. Zhou Qi's return from injury has greatly enhanced the Chinese men's basketball team's defensive and rebounding capabilities inside. But before this competition, Zhou Qi needs to represent the Sichuan team in the National Games.

I also hope that Zhou Qi will not be injured during the National Games schedule. If Zhou Qi is injured again during the National Games schedule, Zhou Qi will continue to be absent from this world preliminaries, which may even affect the Beijing Men's Basketball CBA schedule.

The insider combination this time is likely to be Hu Jinqiu's partner Zhou Qi. During the Asian Cup, Hu Jinqiu averaged 16 points per game, plus 9 rebounds and shot over 75% from the field. He can be called the backbone of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In terms of defenders.

Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan are in hot shape and can basically lock in two positions. The next ones who need to fight for their spots are Liao Sanning and Gao Shiyan.

Although Liao Sanning made frequent mistakes in the final Asian Cup championship, Liao Sanning's breakthrough also left a deep impression on everyone.

On the front line.

Wang Junjie is currently competing in the BCAA league and has missed this competition, so it is very likely that he will continue to recruit players such as Zhu Junlong, Zhao Jiayi and Lei Meng. Zeng Fanbo, who failed to make it to the NBA, is also expected to join. The backup choices are Zhang Zhenlin and Cui Yongxi.

Cui Yongxi is currently preparing for the National Games in the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, but Cui Yongxi's name is not seen in the 12-man roster. Therefore, the injury status of Zhang Zhenlin and Cui Yongxi is not clear, and there are also variables in the selection.

What do you think of this combination of personnel?
