Chinese men s basketball team is blooming, four domestic players want to compete in the NBA, and some coaches are also preparing

Although I missed the championship in the Asian Cup that ended not long ago, the spirit of the Chinese men's basketball team showed in the game, allowing the outside world to see the team's re-rise. Driven by this positive atmosphere, many young players and coaches want to launch an attack on the NBA, the world's highest-level basketball league. After Yang Hansen, Cui Yongxi and Zeng Fanbo, the pioneers who have long been certified in the NBA scouting system, more new forces have begun to show a trend of blooming flowers. There are currently 4 players in China preparing to compete for the NBA, and some coaches are also preparing! (The article ends with a photo of the coach)

In this trend of travel abroad, Wang Junjie, who has made a fortune in the Asian Cup this summer, is undoubtedly the best among them. He has played the title of the strongest summer worker. After finishing the national team's journey, Wang Junjie has quickly returned to the United States to prepare for the new NCAA season and has hope to participate in the NBA draft next year. As a player in the fourth position, Wang Junjie has little advantage in the NBA system, but this has not shaken his determination to reach a higher level. At the same time, his alumnus Zhao Weilun also joined the same team, and the two's joint efforts in NCAA's new season attracted much attention. In addition to the two of them, the 17-year-old guard Zhu Zheng has also been invited by the NCAA Alabama A&M University and has recently become Curry's spokesperson. The two have had in-depth exchanges in China. He has also integrated into the Chinese national youth team system and is regarded as a potential star that takes 2-3 years to cultivate patiently, showing the echelon construction of China's basketball talent reserves. In addition to climbing up through the American university sports system, local stars who performed outstandingly in the domestic CBA league have also attracted overseas attention. Lin Wei, 21 years old, is currently the local scoring champion in the CBA league, and can contribute 21 points per game. His strong scoring ability has attracted the attention of some NBA and NCAA scouts. Recently, he and Hu Mingxuan participated in the China tour series of NBA star Edwards. Although his current draft prospects are still unclear, age is his greatest capital, and he still has plenty of time to continue polishing his skills and improve himself. While the players are struggling, some off-court factors are also considered potential positive signals. With He Youjun becoming a shareholder of the Boston Celtics and Cai Chongxin, who has long been the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, the Chinese capital power of the NBA is increasing. This change is undoubtedly creating more convenient conditions for the landing of Chinese players.

It is worth noting that this craze for the NBA is not limited to athletes. Li Ang, who served as Guo Shiqiang's assistant in this Asian Cup, is also walking on a road to the top coaching hall. Li Ang's personal resume is extraordinary. As a top student at Tsinghua University, he decisively gave up his financial work in Paris and went to the United States to study for a master's degree in sports management, and joined the Columbia University basketball team, and began to systematically learn the technical and tactical system of American basketball. After returning from school, he first joined the Beijing Shougang Club in charge of the youth training program, and was later promoted to the CBA first-team assistant coach. In 2024, Li Ang officially signed a development league team under the NBA Atlanta Hawks and became the first Chinese coach in the history of the NBA Development League. His various experiences clearly show his determination to hit the NBA coaching position.
