When summarizing the team’s overseas training, coach Du Feng said that the team had overcome many difficulties and completed the task of the game. There were ups and downs in the process and they needed to continue to improve.

After the CBA league ended last season, China men’s basketball immediately participated in the training preparation for international events. From the end of June to Melbourne, Australia to participate in the third window of FIFA World Cup qualification, to the Asian Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia, and then to the just-concluded fourth window competition, China’s overseas training competition in men’s basketball lasted for two and a half months, it is also the longest overseas training time in the history of the team.

After the end of the third window of FIFA World Cup qualification in Melbourne, China men’s basketball suffered severe injuries. Due to the epidemic, many important players failed to participate in the Asian Cup. Although the national team urgently transferred five players from home, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin returned to the team one after another after the start of the Asian Cup, the status of many players was greatly affected and the results of the Asian Cup were not satisfactory.

After the Asian Cup, China men’s basketball went to Spain, France and other places for more than a month of overseas training. While adjusting the state, China prepared for the fourth window of FIFA World Cup qualification, and finally defeated Kazakhstan and Balin in in a row, completed the goal of the competition.

In the face of the risk of the epidemic and difficulties such as the lack of military generals being unable to practice together, the whole team has always adhered to the belief that national interests are supreme, facing difficulties and fighting tenaciously on the field, and went all out to fight for victory. Zhou Qi got the highest score in the team in many games, which was the absolute core of the inside line. Zhao Jiwei postponed the reduction of nasal bone fracture in order to stick to the competition. Zhu Junlong, Jiang Weize, zhu Mingzhen and other young players who first represented the national team in the international arena performed equally impressive, and these experiences will help the team continue to grow.

“From the beginning of the training of the national team after the end of this year’s league, every member has experienced a lot of difficulties and we have all persisted.” After the match with Barin, Du Feng expressed his gratitude to the whole team. He said that when he was a member of the national team in 2006, he had a month and a half of overseas training, but this time was longer, it is a great test for every member’s body and mind. Finally, everyone overcame many difficulties and won.

Although the Kazakhstan team and the Balin team were defeated in a row, the Chinese team also exposed some problems. In the third quarter of the match against Kazakhstan, the whole team only scored 7 points, and the opponent once reduced the difference between the two digits to 3 points; In the fourth quarter of the match against the Barlin team, the Chinese team only got 1 point by free throw in 4 and a half minutes, and the opponent also took the opportunity to score points continuously. In addition, China’s three-point shot percentage should do better in controlling mistakes and improving men’s basketball. Du Feng said that he would further improve and improve the problems on the field through training and competition.

Next, China will return to China men’s basketball to prepare for the CBA league. The new season CBA league will start on October 10.
