After Yao Ming and Wang retired, the China men's basketball team has been at a low ebb, and its dominance in Asia cannot be maintained. South Korea, Iran and Japan have a trend of exceeding. After Yao Ming became the president of the Basketball Association, he also carried out many drastic reforms. He divided the China men's basketball team into two teams, the red team and the blue team, with head coach Li Nan and head coach Du Feng as the head coaches respectively. Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Peng both played under Du Feng, but this time they failed to join the China Men's Basketball Team due to injuries. China men's basketball team showed great shortcomings in the forward position.
The absence of Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Peng is a great loss for China men's basketball team. Qi zhou and Wang Zhelin also occupied their positions, but in the Nigerian game, qi zhou and Wang Zhelin did not show strong inside dominance. It lost to Nigeria with 18 rebounds, which is 18' s attack opportunity. If Wang Zhelin and qi zhou can win the 18 rebounds, China is fully capable of beating their opponents.
The performance of China men's basketball team in the World Cup can be said to be the worst performance of China basketball team in recent years. It's really a pity not to enter the Olympic Games. At that time, Yao Ming also left sad tears. Many fans are very sad. Basketball in China is facing great problems and needs a lot of reform.
