In the basketball world, when mentioning Hanson Yang, don't forget that there is another rising star, Liu Lijia, who is also attracting attention. He is the son of former national player Liu Daqing and has inherited his father's exceptional physique. Among the second generation, there is no shortage of players who have surpassed their parents, such as Fu Hao, Yu Jiahao and Zhang Zhenlin, and Liu Lijia is looking forward to following in his footsteps. For the future of Chinese basketball, we do not need to worry too much, with the popularization of national fitness, amateur basketball enthusiasts are springing up. In particular, the boom of the Village BA is a sign that there is plenty of reserve power. However, the national team needs to form a playing style in line with Chinese characteristics, without blindly imitating Europe and the United States, and remain cautiously optimistic about the future. 18-year-old Sun Yahui, from the Beijing youth training, 1 meters 81 meters tall, weighing 75 kilograms, as a ball-control guard. As the main force of the national youth team, his attack is quite bright, solid defense, quite impactful, the organization needs to be improved. If all goes well, he is expected to become the next Zhao Jiwei. But can Sun Yahui surpass Eddie Fan, who seems to be better in terms of overall ability.
At 181cm tall, he does look a bit short on the basketball court, and unless he possesses extraordinary skills, his prospects are worrisome. Guangdong's youth training seems to have gone astray in guard development. With a height like Sun Minghui, he will be at a disadvantage in defense and confrontation in the international arena. As for Yang Hansen, his arm length limits him from becoming the next Zhou Qi. The traditional center lacks dribbling and shooting skills, but big centers don't need much dribbling; soft hands and shooting skills can be acquired through training. In the past, flexible centers like Zhou Qi have gradually transformed into heavy centers, where height, confrontation and low-post skills are key. Yang Hansen is especially lacking in the area of confrontation, and this gap becomes more and more obvious as he gets older. As a Qingdao fan, I don't think Yang Hansen is as good as Zhou Qi in his age group, but in Qingdao's system, he can still play with great energy.
