A few days ago, the head coach of the men's basketball national team, Guo Shiqiang, went on a business trip to the United States. He went to San Francisco to visit Wang Junjie and Zhao Weilun who played there, and brought some requests and blessings from the leaders of the Basketball Association. As the "strongest summer vacation worker", Wang Junjie has proved himself in this year's Men's Basketball Asian Cup. He not only helped the Chinese team reach the Asian Cup final, but also was selected into the strongest lineup of the Asian Cup, with an unlimited future. Although Zhao Weilun politely declined the invitation from the Asian Cup national team, his strength is obvious to everyone and will become one of the main guards of the men's basketball team in the future.

In the Asian Cup of Men's Basketball Team this summer, players such as Chinese team, Yang Hansen, Zhou Qi, Zhang Zhenlin, Zeng Fanbo, Cui Yongxi, Zhao Jiwei, etc. were unable to play due to injuries or other reasons, but at the same time, they also gave young people like Wang Junjie a chance. He also seized this opportunity and became famous in one battle. However, this national team performed extremely tenaciously and tenaciously. They reached the finals without being favored. They faced the Australian men's basketball team until the last moment, and were still honored even if they lost. The unity and upward spirit shown by this national team has given fans hope. In the 2027 Men's Basketball World Cup cycle and the 2028 Olympic Games cycle, they will bring more surprises to the national team and fans.

Yesterday, Wang Junjie posted and shared the photo album on his personal social media account, and wrote "Thank you, Director Guo and Director Li for taking the time to visit us." Some netizens commented, thinking about the head coach of the national team came to see you in the school, other students probably would never dare to imagine such treatment in their lives. Wang Junjie spoke with the microphone and thanked the coach Guo Shiqiang and Li Ang for visiting him and Zhao Weilun. The teammates next to him were very envious. It is indeed rare to treat such treatment. Even Jordan and "Son of America" ​​Anthony Davis may not have such treatment.

Wang Junjie just turned 20 years old this year, with a height of 2.06 meters and an arm span of 2.08 meters. In theory, there is a possibility of further increase in height. Wang Junjie played in all 6 games in this year's Asian Cup, averaged 23.5 minutes per game, and scored 13.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists. His shooting percentage was 56.1% and his three-point shooting percentage was 47.8%. After the game, Wang Junjie and Hu Jinqiu were selected into the best team of this men's basketball team in the Asian Cup. The University of San Francisco also sent a congratulatory message to congratulate Wang Junjie on his excellent performance in the Asian Cup. Wang Junjie has been promoted to a junior in the new season and should be able to start firmly in the school team. There is still a lot of hope in the next step of the NBA.

This summer, Zhao Weilun also entered the roster of the men's basketball national team training team, but because he had just entered the NCAA University of San Francisco, he had a lot of things to do, such as cultural score points, language, team tactical cooperation training, so he asked for leave from the national team and Guo Shiqiang, but did not participate in the training camp. In fact, Zhao Weilun’s advantages and disadvantages are both obvious. The advantage is that the game is good, as a point guard, he has a big view of the situation, and his shooting choice and shooting percentage are also good; the disadvantage is that he is too short and his height of 1.83 meters is at a disadvantage against tall guards in Europe and the United States. This is also the main reason why he is not valued in the National Youth Team.

The NBA has many short guards. All-star guards like Paul and Lowry are all 1.83 meters tall. They have also achieved great success, but this is an example after all. Both Paul and Lowry are both players with strong body, long wingspan, active defense, and strong offensive strength. The simple height comparison is meaningless. If Zhao Weilun wants to join the national team in the future and become the main defender, he must at least achieve the abilities of Xu Jie and Zhao Jiwei, otherwise it will be difficult for him to get more opportunities in the national team.
