Yang Hansen returns to face Venezuela, Guo Shiqiang faces the challenge of forward line
11:15am, 23 July 2025Basketball
After the end of the intense and intense European training, the Chinese men's basketball team is working tirelessly and is about to usher in new challenges. At 19:30 on July 24, the Chinese men's basketball team will have a passionate warm-up match with the Venezuelan men's basketball team at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium. This game has attracted much attention from fans, and CCTV CCTV5 will also broadcast the entire process live.
This warm-up match is of great significance to the Chinese men's basketball team. This is their last important training opportunity before the Asian Cup held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from August 5 to 17. By competing with opponents of different styles, the Chinese men's basketball team can further integrate the lineup, find and make up for their own problems, and meet the challenges of the Asian Cup in the best condition.
What is exciting is that after experiencing the NBA Summer League, Yang Hansen's strength has improved. Not only does he have solid inside skills, excellent defensive awareness, but his outside shooting ability has also improved, adapting to the fast-paced game style. This time, Yang Hansen is expected to shine in the game with Venezuela and join forces with Zhou Qi to build a solid inside barrier for the Chinese men's basketball team.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team is also facing considerable difficulties, especially with serious injuries in the front line position. Currently, only a few forward players are available, including Zhu Junlong, Wang Junjie, Zhang Ning, etc., which makes head coach Guo Shiqiang stretched his strength when deploying troops. How to formulate effective tactics under limited personnel allocation has become an urgent problem that Guo Shiqiang needs to solve.
The Chinese men's basketball team's opponent this time, although this time, did not send out all the main lineups, and mostly young players, it should not be underestimated. As a South American strong team, Venezuela has always been famous for its tough style of play and its aggressive "death-wrapped" defense. In the American game, they averaged 11.2 steals per game, which is a huge test for the Chinese men's basketball team's ball-control ability and offensive organization. Moreover, the Venezuelan men's basketball team ranks 25th in the world, only 5 places higher than the Chinese men's basketball team (30th in the world). The overall strength of the two sides is not much different, and this game is destined to be very anxious.
For head coach Guo Shiqiang, this game is an excellent opportunity for him to further examine the players and run in the lineup. At present, the Chinese men's basketball team has not announced the final 12-man Asian Cup roster. The list will be finalized after the warm-up match with Venezuela and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Guo Shiqiang needs to observe the players' status and tacit understanding in these games, and find the most suitable tactical system and personnel combination for the team.
The warm-up match between the Chinese men's basketball team and Venezuela is full of highlights. CCTV5's live broadcast also allows fans to cheer for the men's basketball players at home. Can the Chinese men's basketball team withstand Venezuela's tough defense and make a smooth attack? What wonderful performance will the inside combination of Yang Hansen and Zhou Qi be? Let's wait and see together!
Summary, the Chinese men's basketball team will also play the second warm-up match with Venezuela on July 25, and will play two warm-up matches in Nanjing and Bosnia and Herzegovina. I believe that under the polishing of a series of warm-up matches, the Chinese men's basketball team will embark on the Asian Cup journey in the best state.
