Live broadcast, May 14-U16 Guoqing men’s basketball is currently conducting training in Qinhuangdao. Coach Li Xiaoyong has been interviewed by the media recently.
When talking about the next U16 Asian Championship, Li Xiaoyong said: “The goal is only one aspect, and more importantly, we strive to get the best result in the Asian Championship through training. China does not lack good athletes, especially good seedlings, these players now, the rear guard line is relatively mature, including inside, height, strength, actually no less than U18. Especially in the front line, fast, physical and defensive steps are very good, which can be said to be the top in U18.”
In last year’s U18 Asian Championship, China U18 defeated South Korea in the group match men’s basketball, but lost to South Korea in the semi-final. When talking about the introduction of Korean coaches in the coach team, Li Xiaoyong said: “(last year) it’s a pity that I lost to South Korea. After that, of course, I thought about a question, if we re-establish this year, we must find a South Korean coach to learn the changes of South Korea’s offensive movement and defense thoroughly. Learn their things and combine them with our own height advantage. In the past, South Korea was small and fast, and we were the development direction of high and fast, which was of great benefit to the development of Chinese basketball.”
