The inside line is in a hurry! Guangdong s "new center" will be promoted by Guo Shiqiang, which is Du Feng s trump card for the championship

The warm-up match on the eve of the 2025 Men's Basketball Team's Asian Cup officially started, and a fierce battle was held between the Chinese men's basketball team, which was in a remnant team, and the Venezuelan men's basketball team. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team, which is more powerful, defeated the Venezuelan men's basketball team with excellent performances such as Hu Jinqiu, Yu Jiahao, Wang Junjie, Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui, and Cheng Shuipeng without any suspense. It is worth mentioning that although the Venezuelan men's basketball team did not send all the main lineups to participate, the Chinese men's basketball team also lacked Yang Hansen, Zhou Qi, Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Zhenlin, Cui Yongxi and other players with the strongest forward and inside lines. With almost two teams playing, the Chinese men's basketball team easily defeated their opponents with a large score with the newly created tactical system by Guo Shiqiang, and achieved a good start in the warm-up match.

There is no doubt that the Chinese men's basketball team was able to defeat Venezuela with a huge advantage of 28 points in this game, showing the training results during this period. Judging from the game, the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team was able to suppress their opponents in various positions was officially because of the traditional inside height advantage. Although Hu Jinqiu's height and wingspan are not enough to play as dominant as the CBA league in international competitions, another main center Yu Jiahao is in very good competitive state. According to statistics, Yu Jiahao played in this game for a total of 16 minutes, made 5 of 9 shots and 3 of 6 free throws on the offensive end, and efficiently scored 13 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist. After the NBA League main player Yang Hansen confirmed that he would not play in the Asian Cup, Zhou Qi was injured and might not be able to catch up with the Asian Cup. At this time, Yu Jiahao supported the inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team, which surprised many fans.

As the head coach who is very good at using centers and inside players, Guo Shiqiang not only fully utilized the advantages of Hu Jinqiu and Yu Jiahao in the game, but also played his own characteristics in the insides including Li Xiangbo and Wang Junjie. However, if Yang Hansen and Zhou Qi cannot guarantee that at least one person will play in the Asian Cup, then Guo Shiqiang will likely promote Xu Xin, the main center of the traditional powerhouse of the CBA league, the Guangdong team. Although Yang Hansen did not play and Zhou Qi was injured, the Chinese men's basketball team, which was in trouble in the interior, was still able to play two large centers with a size of more than 2.2 meters tall. As the trump card for the Guangdong team in the new season, Xu Xin has the opportunity to have his national team debut in the second warm-up match.

From the Basketball Association's approval of Yang Hansen not to play in the Asian Cup, it can be seen that the layout of the Chinese men's basketball team must be looking forward to the future. In addition to Yang Hansen who must be strengthened enough in the NBA league, young insiders including Yu Jiahao and Xu Xin will definitely be able to get more opportunities in the future. Some fans also predict that after Xu Xin was guided by Guo Shiqiang in the Chinese men's basketball national team this summer, she will have the opportunity to play the first-level insider in the league in the new season. With the Guangdong team's full support, Xu Xin gradually ushered in the peak period of her personal career.

To sum up, Xu Xin will inevitably appear in the next warm-up match of the Chinese men's basketball national team. As for whether Xu Xin is likely to squeeze into the 12-man roster of the Asian Cup of the Chinese men's basketball national team in the end, it depends on Zhou Qi's injury recovery.
