Serbian coach Jorjevich officially became the head coach of China men's basketball team at the end of 2023. Immediately after arrival, I went to Zhuji Division, Zhejiang Province to watch the CBA League, inspect the players in each league and select the training list of 18 people.
There is no doubt that, Guo, Zhao Jiwei,, and others from CBA were selected as scheduled, and many young players such as Zeng, Jiao Boqiao, Cui Yongxi and Cui Xiaolong also appeared in the big list. I hope that through this call-up, more talented young players will realize what qualities the national team needs.
