Media person: It is a pity that Zhang Ning and Xu Jie lost the election, but the goal of the men s basketball team is the World Cup & Olympics

Hupu, August 5th, the official social media of the Chinese men's basketball team published an article announcing the 12-man roster of the Asian Cup: Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan led by Xu Jie and Zhang Ning were not selected.

In response to this, media person Jiang Fan commented: "It's really a pity for Zhang Ning and Xu Jie at the last moment... I have always seen more balanced performance this time. From many people who were in the year of playing due to injuries and Yang Hansen did not enter the NBA because they needed to gain a foothold in the NBA. I think it was the right decision, because the goal is to enter the next World Cup and work hard to enter the Olympics. This time it is more about whether they can establish their own characteristics and train existing young players to provide more possibilities in two years."

The 12-man roster is as follows: Gao Shiyan, Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, Cheng Shuipeng, Zhao Rui, Wang Junjie, Yu Jiahao, Zhao Jiayi, Hu Jinqiu, Zhu Junlong, Li Xiangbo, and Lei Meng.

Men's Basketball Team's Asian Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia from August 5 to 17, and the Chinese men's basketball team will play against the host Saudi Arabia for the first time at 23:00 tonight.
