On September 1st, the International Basketball Peak Match continues with Beijing VS Barcelona.
The Beijing men’s basketball team has been relatively stable this summer, achieving a record of 4 wins and 2 losses in the past 6 Summer League games. In the last game against Nanjing Tongxi, Beijing won by a large margin of 101-73. The core domestic players such as Zhai Xiaochuan, Fan Ziming, and Lei Meng have shown a high level of competitive state, especially Fan Ziming who has taken on the crucial role in the paint. In the Summer League games, he has almost reached the position of an absolute interior core. In the game against Barcelona, Fan Ziming’s performance in the paint will be a direct factor in determining the team’s rebounding and interior defense.
In terms of hard power, Zhou Qi, Chen Yingjun, and Zeng Fanbo have not yet joined the team for training, and the foreign players are also not fully confirmed. Beijing playing against Barcelona with domestic players certainly has some gaps, but considering they are playing at home, the Beijing men’s basketball team attaches great importance to this opportunity to exchange with a strong European team. Fans can look forward to what sparks will fly between Beijing men’s basketball and Barcelona.
According to media reports, Barcelona’s main player Vasiljevic is with the team due to appendicitis but will not play in the game. Players like Willy Hernangomez, Juan Nunez, former NBA No. 2 draft pick Jabari Parker, new signings Kevin Punter, Justin Anderson, Chimezie Metu, and Youssoupha Fall are all part of the lineup, which is considered luxurious and shows the seriousness with which Barcelona men’s basketball team is taking this match.
This is the second time in history that the Barcelona basketball team is traveling to Asia. The purpose of this trip is to increase the visibility of European basketball. They are likely to field their core lineup to face the Beijing men’s basketball team.
If they maintain normal performance, Barcelona’s core players could basically be positioned as foreign players in the CBA. For Beijing men’s basketball team, which is playing with domestic players, defeating the opponent will be quite challenging overall. Such a rare opportunity to compete, how Beijing men’s basketball team arranges its lineup to achieve the expected training value is believed to be the key focus of Xu Limin and Li Nan’s observation.
