On July 24, the Chinese Basketball Association announced that Li keel had completed the citizenship procedures and would follow China’s men’s basketball to prepare for the men’s basketball World Cup in 2023. Since the results of the men’s basketball World Cup are linked to the direct quota of the Paris Olympic Games, how much help will Li keel bring to the team? Specific to the World Cup, how much can it play in the face of South Sudan, Puerto Rico and other group matches? This will affect the prospect of China’s men’s basketball impact on the Paris Olympic Games.

Function: rich tactical system, excellent front line organization ability

Fans who are familiar with men’s basketball of China must still remember it. In the men’s basketball World Cup in 2019, Chinese men’s basketball who fought at home missed the opportunity to go straight to the Tokyo Olympics.

From the arrangement of the head coach to the on-the-spot play of key games and the short lineup of individual positions, there are many reasons for the team’s “defeat”, and the insufficient thickness of the front line is one of them. In preparation for the men’s basketball World Cup in 2019, Ding Yan Yuhang and Zhou Peng withdrew from the two main fronts one after another due to injury. The coaching staff had to temporarily recruit Ke lanbai Ke, who only played for 7 seconds, the appearance opportunities of aludu salad Wood are also very limited.

With the addition of Li keel, the thickness of China’s men’s basketball attack line has increased significantly. From primary school, middle school to university, from No. 1 to No. 5, Li Kelle can be competent. After landing in NBA, Li keel can also play from No. 1 to No. 4. In addition to attack line defense and external projection, he also has excellent ability to organize attacks. Although the scoring ability is not outstanding, the data such as rebounds, assists and steals are very impressive.

Compared with the current 16-person training list in China men’s basketball, Li Kelle is 2.06 meters tall, only shorter than five players such as Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Hu Jinqiu, Fu Hao and Zeng fanbo, the height is the same as Zhou Peng. Under the leadership of jolevich, Li keel can still play the familiar position of small forward.

In addition, with excellent rebounding consciousness and physical quality, Li keel can share the pressure of Zhou Qi, Wang Zhilin and others in the internal defense. As for the backguard line that fans often question, Li Kael, who has excellent organizational skills, can also make guest calls. When the game enters a critical moment, Li keel can not only stabilize the rhythm, sort out the team’s attack, but also have the opportunity to end the game with his personal ability.

Whether considering personal ability or competition experience, Li Kele undoubtedly greatly enriched China’s men’s basketball tactical system. Of course, in the process of training, how to formulate tactics around Li Kael and which position to let Li Kael appear in the official competition, I believe that coach Qiao erjievic will make the most reasonable arrangement.

Outlook: “sledge-hammer” is crucial to the battle between China and Poland.

The men’s basketball World Cup record in 2023 is linked to the seats of the Paris Olympic Games, and 7 teams can go straight to the Paris Olympic Games. Seven direct places will be allocated to teams with higher World Cup rankings, including two in Europe and America and one in Africa, Asia and Oceania. Similar to the men’s basketball World Cup in 2019, China will compete with five other Asian rivals for an Olympic ticket men’s basketball.

In terms of six Asian teams in China, Japan, Philippines, Jordan, Iran and Lebanon, the grouping situation is not optimistic, and it is difficult for the group to qualify. If you want to go straight to the Paris Olympics, the most ideal situation for China’s men’s basketball is to become the only Asian team to qualify from the group in the men’s basketball World Cup.

According to the lottery results, China men’s basketball was in Group B with Serbia, Puerto Rico and South Sudan. Considering that Serbia is a traditional strong team, the more realistic goal of China men’s basketball is to compete with Puerto Rico and South Sudan for the second seat.

South Sudan is currently ranked 62nd in the world. It made its debut in the men’s basketball World Cup this year and is regarded as the weakest team in Group B. However, South Sudan not only owns NBA players such as Gabriel and Bohr, but also CBA Tongxi foreign aid achur, whose strength cannot be underestimated. In the competition with South Sudan, China must win men’s basketball to keep the hope of going straight to the Paris Olympics.

If the war against South Sudan is the premise, the fight against Puerto Rico will become the “life and death battle” of China men’s basketball. Winning will lead to a big increase in the hope of Paris, and the hope of losing will be slim. This “life and death War”, the dialogue between the two active NBA players, “sledge-hammer” Li keel and “rogue” Alvarado will be the biggest attraction.

Currently, Puerto Rico ranks 20th in the world and is a traditional strong team in America. The absolute core of Puerto Rico is Pelican player Alvarado. As the 2021 NBA drop draft, Alvarado tenaciously established himself in the NBA field and quickly became an important role player of Pelican. He also won the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Challenge in February this year.

In addition, there are many former NBA players and NBA drop-off talent shows in Puerto Rico. The main defender Waters, who played short-term roles in the Raptors and Warriors, played for the French metropolitan 92 last season and was the teammate of the NBA champion of the new science NBA, banyama. Claville has played for a short time as a lone ranger, and most of the other players have the background of playing in NBA Development League and summer league.

In January 26 this year, the Timberwolves defeated Pelicans 111-102, “sledge-hammer” and “Grand Theft” had a direct fight. The former started at 33 minutes 27 seconds and contributed 10 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. The latter made a substitute at 24 minutes 22 seconds and got 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Although the positions on the court are different, who will play better in Li Keer and Alvarado will largely influence the outcome of China’s men’s basketball and Puerto Rico, and will also determine the qualifying situation of Group B, it even affects whether China’s men’s basketball can be directly connected to the Paris Olympics.
