China News Service, March 12th. The American Basketball Association recently announced the new men's basketball team for the Olympic training list. A total of 57 athletes were selected, 15 more than the previous period.
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and others are all listed.
These 57 people come from 24 NBA teams, many of which are basketball superstars.
The three giants of the Nets Durant, Harden and Irving led the team with six selected, and the Lakers were led by James and Damei.
In addition to these familiar faces, Griffin, Jr. Jordan, Van Fleet, Zion and others are all newly shortlisted players.
However, the final list of 12 people to participate in the Tokyo Olympics has not yet been determined.
The Tokyo Olympics is scheduled to open on July 23 this year, and according to the current plan, the NBA finals have just ended at that time.
This also makes many stars remain uncertain about whether they can participate in the Tokyo Olympics.
Previously, Curry said in an interview: "This is a very open question, I really don't know. This is my answer."
Another All-Star guard, Lillard from Portland, said: "I don’t know 100%, I will depend on the situation. Next year’s finals will be on my birthday (July 15). I hope our team can reach the finals. If we reach the finals and win the championship, then I will not participate in the Olympics."
Judging from the current situation in the NBA, the Nets, Bucks, Lakers and Jazz are all favorites in the East and West Finals and even the Finals.
If the NBA Finals enters the tiebreaker by then, the players on the squad of these teams may miss the trip to Tokyo.
