the chinese u18 men's basketball team missed the asian youth championship in jordan. they lost to new zealand 71-86 in the semifinals and stopped in the semifinals, but also won the ticket to the 2025 u19 world youth championship. there are many reasons for the chinese team's loss in this game. the main inside player xun sinan was injured and absent, which had the greatest impact. as a result, the chinese team's ability to protect the inside line was insufficient, and they lost 26 rebounds to new zealand. at the same time, the outside core zhang boyuan insisted on playing in this game despite having a fever. he shot 4 of 15 shots and performed abnormally. in the end, it was not surprising that the chinese u18 men's basketball team lost.

losing always causes public opinion. after this young team missed the asian championship, the team's head coach qu shaobin was criticized by many domestic netizens for having no tactical system and poor on-the-spot command. the guangdong youth training coach was under pressure from public opinion.

specifically, the netizen said: "this new zealand team is not strong at all and is fully capable of winning. this coach is really bad. the u19 world youth championship should quickly change the coach, and the youth team should preferably have a foreign coach. in this team, except for chen jiazheng, duan ruiqi, xun sinan, and zhang boyuan, they will be retained for the world youth championship next year. including the head coach, everyone else must be cleared out."

"the coach has taught so many players in guangdong hongyuan, but the two players he brought to this game have no three-point shooting and no organization. the three-point shooting rate and free throw rate of the entire team are both low. how did this coach choose them?"

"if the coach doesn't know how to use the players coming back from the united states, just change the coach. now there are so many people playing in american high schools, and then they come back and they don't know how to use them?"

the goal of this u18 men's basketball team is to win a place in the world youth championship, and it has achieved its expected goal. however, injuries and illnesses of core players are unpredictable. from this perspective, the coach should not be the only one to bear the responsibility. in recent years, every coach of the national youth team has been under pressure, and public opinion has not been kind to them. from han deng to li xiaoyong, and now qu shaobin, these coaches will be criticized as long as the results are not good.

but in fact, in recent years, many outstanding players have emerged in the national youth team. yang hansen, the best player of the last national youth team, is already a cba all-star starter. the other two main players, wang junjie and zhao weilun, are striving to impact the nba in the united states. wang haoran, ma mingkun and others have also played in the cba and become professional players. together with zeng fanbo, cui yongxi and yu jiahao of the 2003 national youth team, the talent pool of the chinese men's basketball team is no worse than in the past. it just depends on whether these players can fully realize their talents. for example, zeng fanbo, who plays for beijing shougang, has not performed at a star level after two seasons in the cba.

objectively speaking, the chinese men's basketball team can still produce outstanding talents in the youth team stage, but whether the players' future development can meet expectations is more critical. the inability to make continuous progress is the biggest problem facing chinese players at present. compared with the past, today's post-00 players are generally more talented, but they have not reached the ideal level.

do you think there are many talented players in the chinese men’s basketball team?
