The Chinese men s basketball team sent troops to Hangzhou to fight against Venezuela in a warm-up match. The performance of the two is worth looking forward to

According to the report of sports blogger "I'm watching the game", the Chinese men's basketball team has set out to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province to prepare for a warm-up match with Venezuela. The team's performance ahead of the new season is exciting.

According to the latest plan released by the Chinese Basketball Association, the Chinese men's basketball team has recently completed training camps and overseas training. It will play two warm-up matches in Hangzhou, Zhejiang on the 24th and 25th of this month. Then move to Nanjing on the 27th and 29th to play two warm-up matches with Bosnia and Herzegovina teams. Then they will set off to Saudi Arabia to prepare for the upcoming Asian Cup.

Since the training camp started on June 13 this year, the Chinese men's basketball team has been in a closed training state and has not released any training pictures to the public. However, some careful fans still captured their training outside the training hall. It was not until July 16 that the Chinese men's basketball team finally made a public debut in the warm-up match between the Netherlands, and finally defeated the opponent 84:76 and achieved a gratifying victory.

In the next two warm-up matches with Venezuela, the performance of the two players Yu Jiahao and Wang Junjie is highly anticipated. In the match against the Netherlands, Yu Jiahao played on the court for 22 minutes, achieving exciting data of 16 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. With Zhou Qi absent due to injury, Yu Jiahao performed well in the interior, both able to protect the frame and score, so he was still regarded as a key pillar of the interior when playing against Venezuela.

Another player who attracted attention was Wang Junjie. He played for 16 minutes with the Netherlands and scored 13 points and 6 rebounds. The three-pointer performance was quite eye-catching, and he made two goals in three shots, becoming one of the biggest surprises on the Chinese men's basketball forward line. Wang Junjie's offensive performance was very strong, and he also actively fought on the defensive end. Although his lateral movement is a little slow and he needs to strengthen this aspect in the future, his comprehensive ability still adds highlights to the team.

In this domestic warm-up match, the Chinese men's basketball team faces a considerable test for the absence of forward players Zeng Fanbo and Zhang Zhenlin. At the same time, it is still unclear whether Zhou Qi, who went to the United States for treatment due to a waist injury, can participate in the Asian Cup. If Yang Hansen can return smoothly, it will undoubtedly improve the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team. Despite this, judging from the current performance, Wang Junjie is still a relatively stable member of the front line on both offense and defense.

According to the latest world ranking released by FIBA FIBA in March 2025, the Venezuelan men's basketball team ranks 25th, while the Chinese men's basketball national team ranks 30th. The confrontation with this South American powerhouse will provide valuable training opportunities for the Chinese men's basketball team. After the warm-up match, the 12-person roster will be gradually determined.

Overall, in the warm-up match against the Netherlands, due to the fierce defense, the defenders of the Chinese men's basketball team failed to fully utilize their advantages, but this is also a positive signal for the team, allowing them to adapt to the defensive intensity of the international arena earlier. In the upcoming Hangzhou warm-up match, Yu Jiahao from the inside and Wang Junjie from the front line are worth paying attention to, especially if Wang Junjie can maintain his consistent stability, he is likely to become an indispensable part of the Chinese men's basketball team's future forward line.
