Recently, Zhang Bin, the director of youth training of China Basketball Association, was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency and talked about the performance of U18 men and women’s basketball in the Asian Youth Competition. Zhang Bin said that on the one hand, the U series competition should strive for good results, on the other hand, it is also a review of reserve talents. In his view, some of the two teams participating in this competition and the players of the same age group have good potential. “Men’s Basketball of these players, Yang Hansen’s performance exceeded the level of his peers. He could pass the ball in the center position and had a very good vision. He hoped to partner with Zhou Qi in the national team in the future. In addition, Liu Lijia, Liu Jinyu and Zhang Junhao also have strong plasticity. In female team members, Li Qingyang’s overall feeling is also good, and there is hope to enter the national team in the future.” Zhang Bin revealed that due to some reasons such as the epidemic, some players failed to participate in the U18 men’s basketball training and competition with the team. During the training, the coaching staff found that the position of the defender was relatively weak and once contacted Zhao Weilun, a young general who had emerged in the Italian league. However, Zhao Weilun failed to make a trip for various reasons later. When the Chinese team prepares for the U19 men’s basketball World Cup in June next year, Zhao Weilun may join the team. In addition, there are some children who exercise and play basketball overseas, and will also be called up and inspected when the team prepares for war next year. Among the 12 players participating in the U18 Men’s Basketball Asian Championship, Chun-Hao Chang from Shenyang No. 2 Middle School is the only high school student player. Zhang Bin said that 45 people participated in the U18 National Team training, 10 of whom came from high school, accounting for no less. However, due to the large overlap between the team training time and the Chinese high school basketball league, several good children finally failed to be selected. Shenyang No. 2 Middle School, where he was in Chun-Hao Chang, failed to reach the finals of the High School League, so he quickly returned to the team for training and was finally included in the 12-person list. Overall, his performance in this U18 Asian championship is still remarkable. “Although he was a little nervous about the second match in South Korea, he was good as a student player, including physical quality, three points tossing, hard work, defense, etc, it is not bad to put it in the youth team. His shortcoming is that there is still a lack of overall view, and his organizational ability and ability to break through with the ball during the journey need to be strengthened. He will go to Xiamen University immediately. He does not know whether the characteristics and advantages can be maintained. He still needs to weigh the specific development path himself.” (Xinhua News Agency)
