Live Bar, June 17 -on Chinese basketball media day, Yao Ming, chairman of the Basketball Association, talked about China’s U19 basketball team.
China’s men’s basketball team II will participate in the U19 men’s basketball World Cup in Hungary from June 24 to July 2. The Chinese team with the best record in the history of this event will face three strong teams in France, Canada and Spain in the group match. China’s women’s basketball second team will participate in the U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup on July 15-23.
For the young players of the second team who are about to challenge the strong players, Yao Ming encouraged them with his experience of participating in the World Series at the age of 17: “I played the World Championship for the first time and lost 79 points in the first game, didn’t you survive later? For the members of the youth team, winning the game is a key link in their growth, but it is definitely not the only one. In addition to winning, they have other links to grow. What we value is whether some of these players can be added to the national team in the next two or three years.”
