The accompanying pictures have a deep meaning! Gao Shiyan: Being able to wear the national team s jersey is something that I feel particularly glorious in my life

On October 2, during the National Day, national player Gao Shiyan of men's basketball team shared the topic of "My Basketball and Me" on social media, and made more comments on the first time this summer in the men's basketball national team to compete in the Asian Cup. He has a profound meaning and a picture with coach Guo Shiqiang.

Gao Shiyan said: For me, being able to wear the national team's jersey is something that I feel particularly glorious in my life. Thank you very much to Director Guo for your trust in me, for allowing me to play my role in this united collective.

On the basketball court, it is useless to say too much. For me, the first thing I have to do is to defend well when I go on the court. No matter how strong the opponent is, I have to do my best to do every match. As an old player, I will always keep this responsibility and responsibility in mind, continue to practice and play well, and spare no effort for the Chinese men's basketball team and the motherland. In 6 Asian Cup games, Gao Shiyan averaged 3.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per 13.9 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 25.0%, shooting percentage of three-pointers was 20%, and shooting percentage of free throws was 100%.

This data is quite close to most fans' minds. Average of more than 10 minutes of playing time per game is more valuable in the defensive end, and shooting has never been Gao Shiyan's strength.

The topic of Gao Shiyan, who is close to 30 years old, was actually controversial. His most peak age group was undoubtedly Li Nan, Du Feng, and Joeljevic era, but he did not use Gao Shiyan as a regular recruitment target, but was selected for the men's basketball training team many times in the era of Guo Shiqiang. It is essentially difficult for Gao Shiyan to be a key training target in the 2028 Olympic cycle. This selection is obviously directly related to Guo Shiqiang's coaching.

Since this Asian Cup match, Gao Shiyan's defense is indeed very good at playing the role of a surprise player. He has performed well in the matches against South Korea and New Zealand, which well reflects his value as a defensive player.

But whether it has truly reached the point of completely dispelling the outside world's doubts is a matter of opinion.
