Live Bar, May 8th recently, Liu Xiaoyu, a men’s basketball player in North control, received an exclusive interview with the program “The Player.
Q: There are men’s basketball World Cup this year, and men’s basketball groups have also been released. Have you ever paid attention to it?
Liu Xiaoyu: I am not familiar with the team of South Sudan, but I heard some other people’s comments, and then Puerto Rico is a difficult opponent. I don’t think grouping is good or bad, but we need to see the game status and team cohesion, and how to face the unexpected situation on the court, including the response at critical moments, which are the most important.
Q: Can you look forward to this men’s basketball World Cup?
Liu Xiaoyu: I certainly hope that the Chinese team can qualify smoothly and get tickets for the Olympic Games, because it is indeed a very important event for our entire basketball community and the children who love playing basketball. It is also crucial to be able to enter the Olympic Games so that Chinese players can show their level on the stage of the Olympic Games and then let the fans all over the country see it.
Q: Did Yuge’s national team career match Serbia?
Liu Xiaoyu: we played against Serbia in the summer and played two games with them. At that time, I remember that I might have lost more than 30 points and they were also the main players, we are trying our best to fight with us, and the level is indeed very different.
Q: Was it Joe Shuai?
Liu Xiaoyu: it was him at that time. I remember it should have been 15 years at that time. After the World Cup and the Olympic Games, I also saw him coaching on the field. I still had a deep impression.
The draw for the men’s basketball World Cup in 2023 has ended. The Chinese team was divided into Group B, with Serbia, Puerto Rico and South Sudan in the same group.
