Fighting against European and American teams to seek a taller lineup

  Djordjevic's transformation of the Chinese men's basketball team is in progress

  The Chinese men's basketball team is actively preparing for the sixth world preliminaries window at the end of this month.

According to the plan, the Chinese men's basketball team will usher in several warm-up matches in the near future. On the evening of the 13th, the Chinese men's basketball team beat the Tongxi team 108 to 67, and Zhang Zhenlin scored the team's highest 20 points.

According to the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily, the Chinese men's basketball team has stepped up their lineup during the nearly two weeks of training. They have practiced nearly 30 sets of tactics.

At the same time, they will arrange a lineup of different personnel combinations every day.

It can be seen that the head coach Djordjevic is still looking for the most suitable lineup and allows the players to quickly establish a chemical reaction.

At the same time, Qiao Shuai puts great emphasis on the communication between the players on the field, and he pays attention to the details of the players.

  victory is not guaranteed

  but will do my best

  The Chinese men's basketball team is headed by the famous Serbian coach Djordjevic, and will start preparing for the two world preliminaries at the end of this month from February 1.

Since the Chinese men's basketball team has qualified for this year's World Cup ahead of schedule in the fifth window period, there is no performance pressure for the next two world preliminaries, which creates conditions for Qiao Shuai to run the lineup.

Qiao Shuai said in an interview with the media before that the Chinese men's basketball team may not be able to guarantee a complete victory in the next two world preliminaries, but they will definitely go all out.

Obviously, Qiao Shuai left some leeway for himself. After all, he took over for a short time. It takes time and process for the coaches and players to get familiar with each other and produce chemical reactions.

This is the biggest problem facing the Chinese men's basketball team: time is short and tasks are heavy.

  Less than two weeks of training

  Nearly 30 sets of tactics have been practiced

  According to the current strength and preparation time of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is obviously very challenging for them to qualify for the Paris Olympics in this year's World Cup.

What's more, Djordjevic still needs time to understand players, establish a team system, and so on.

The Chinese men's basketball team is also taking the time to try to shorten this process. It is understood that the Chinese men's basketball team has practiced nearly 30 sets of tactics in less than two weeks of training.

Some players revealed to a Beijing Youth Daily reporter that Qiao Shuai has high requirements for players to respond to each other during training. This is an important way to hope that they can master tactics as soon as possible and increase tacit understanding.

In addition, Qiao Shuai has high requirements for details, such as the timing of assisting defense, etc. Qiao Shuai is very meticulous.

Veteran Zhou Peng said: "European coaches pay more attention to details, and the training intensity is very high. Although the training time is not very long, we still need to adapt to the intensity in advance, and there will be some changes to our previous basketball rhythm."

  In an open class of the Chinese men's basketball team, the reporter noticed that the 18 players were divided into three groups: red, white and black. The red group: Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, Cui Yongxi, Cui Xiaolong, Zhao Jiwei; the black group: Hu Jinqiu, Zhu Xuhang, Zhang Zhenlin, Cheng Shuipeng, Zhao Rui, Wu Qian; white group: Zhou Qi, Jiao Boqiao, Zeng Fanbo, Zhu Mingzhen, Hu Mingxuan, Guo Ailun.

According to the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily, this kind of grouping is only the training grouping arrangement of the day. In fact, in the past few days, the Chinese men's basketball team will have different grouping arrangements every day. Qiao Shuai has been looking for the most suitable lineup combination.

  various positions

  Prefers to choose tall players

  Qiao Shuai's coaching style and characteristics still need follow-up games to be gradually understood by the outside world, but there is no doubt that he has his own opinions and persistence in choosing and using players.

Qiao Shuai likes to choose taller players in various positions, which is obviously different from when Du Feng led the team before.

According to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, Zhao Jiwei did not have an advantage in terms of body type when he initially selected the 18-man training list, but the opinion put forward by the coaching staff is that Zhao Jiwei's golf quotient is extremely high, which largely offsets it. Get rid of his height disadvantage.

  Qiao Shuai explained the principles and standards for selecting players. He said: "Our goal is not the trees in front of us, but the forest behind us. The Chinese men's basketball team must grow into a team that can compete with the world's top teams. It can be seen from this that Qiao Shuai's goal in building a tall Chinese men's basketball team is to be able to compete against European and American teams in the future, and his vision is not only in the Asian field.

At the same time, Qiao Shuai will definitely use players differently. He will use young players more, at least in the next two world preliminaries.
