Men's Basketball Centers
Since 2000, the Chinese men's basketball team stepped into the brilliant years of the three centers, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Bartel, the three giant towers, in the next ten years, sitting on the throne of the leadership of the Chinese men's basketball team. In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team broke into the world's top eight, at that time, they are the top pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team.
A new chapter in the Big One and the A-League
In 2011, Yao Ming said goodbye to the NBA and the Chinese men's basketball team due to an injury, and the Chinese men's basketball team entered a new era of Da Zhi and Yi Jianlian. Big Lizhi retired in 2015, and in the five years before his retirement, A Lian, who partnered with Big Lizhi, helped the Chinese men's basketball team dominate in Asia. However, after the retirement of the big Lizhi, A Lian is difficult to support, the performance of the national team is slightly lackluster.
Yi Jianlian's solo
After the retirement of Dahi in 2015, Yi Jianlian became the new leader of the national team, supporting the period from 2015 to 2021. Compared to the era of the three major centers, Yi Jianlian became the sole pillar of the national team. Although the national team centered their tactics around him, Lian was unable to support the team on his own, and the Chinese men's basketball team lost the Asian Championship to South Korea, missing out on the Asian title. Until Gong Luming helped China regain the Asian title in Changsha. However, in the 2019 World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Poland and missed the Olympics, and Allian's status in the national team seems to be less than his predecessors.
Zhou Qi and Guo Allen's Challenge
From 2022, Ah Lian will no longer play for the national team, and the Chinese men's basketball team has ushered in the era of Zhou Qi and Guo Allen. They were supposed to lead the Chinese men's basketball team back to the Olympic Games and the World Cup, but now Guo Allen's status is up and down, Zhou Qi is alone in the interior, and the Chinese men's basketball team lacks prominent fresh blood, which leads to the results of the team coached by Li Nan and Du Feng to be difficult to satisfy.
Zhou Qi is 26 years old and Guo Allen is 29, and they are still the core of the Chinese men's basketball team until the next Olympics. Whether or not they will be able to make another mark in the World Series during their tenure is still unknown.
