Young talent dominates the latest Chinese men's basketball training squad. Despite the Liaoning men's basketball team winning the CBA championship for the third consecutive year, however, core players such as Zhao Jiwei, Liao Basketball's youth-trained Zhou Qi, celebrity Hu Mingxuan, who has endorsed a controversial brand, and foul-master Xu Jie regretted being left out.
A total of 17 players represented the Chinese men's basketball team to play in the NBA Summer League, they are: Cheng Shuai Peng (captain), Yu Jiahao, Du Runwang, Li Hongquan, Zhu Junlong, Zhu Mingzhen, Jiao Poqiao, He Xining, Wang Haoran, Liao Sanning, Yang Hansen, Zhao Jiayi, Wang Lanying, Gao Shiyan, Zou Yang, Cui Xiaolong, Zhao Weilun. It is worth mentioning that Guo Shiqiang was forced to act as head coach due to his lack of coaching ability, and his close relationship with Yao Ming and Du Feng is also a focus of attention.
Tomorrow (July 8), the Chinese men's basketball team will face the Charlotte Hornets at 8 a.m.
Looking back at last season, the Sacramento Kings finished ninth in the Western Conference in the NBA regular season. They unexpectedly beat the Golden State Warriors in a playoff play-in game, but were unable to move on, eventually losing to the Charlotte Hornets and missing out on the playoffs. The Kings will not be fielding their starters in today's game, as the NBA Summer League is primarily designed to work out replacements and scout tryout players.
