Incredible! 13-for-23 in two games! China's top attacking guard on the men's basketball team

The FIBA International Solidarity Cup four-nation invitation tournament, two consecutive wins~

First game: 113-79 over Cameroon, then back-to-back second game: 74-63 over Georgia.

In the second game, China's shooting touch was far from the explosive level of the first game (16-for-31 from three), with only 4-for-22 from three (about 18% accuracy) and even free throws at 16-for-23 (about 70%).

Georgia men's basketball team stats as follows:

In this game, three Chinese players scored in double figures: Li Hongquan with 14 points and 6 rebounds (4 offensive), contributing through his energy despite not hitting from outside; Liao Sanning efficient with 18 points; Pang Zhenglin came off the bench for 12 points, and also scored 13 as a substitute in the previous game, already like a sixth man of the year.

Special mention for Liao Sanning – he may hold the ball a bit, but his ability to drive and finish is absolutely top among domestic players, and he never gets intimidated by any opponent.In these two games combined, he went 13-for-23 for a total of 36 points, leading the team in scoring in each game.

In short, the Chinese men's basketball team needs a distinct player like Liao Sanning. Under Guo Shiqiang's coaching system over the past two years, he has indeed been a starting guard, and we have seen him making waves in previous Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers.

Because the Chinese men's basketball team has completely suspended naturalization, they can only tap into internal potential.

If Liao Sanning can improve his shooting consistency, passing vision, and playmaking ability in the future, he might be the long-sought answer for the guard position.

This guy was born on January 29, 2001, a combo guard at 1.92m tall with a 1.98m wingspan, and has spent five years in the CBA all with the Beijing Royal Fighters. His stats are as follows:

Regular season: 30.3 minutes per game, 12.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals, shooting 45.1%, hitting 0.7 three-pointers per game at 31.1%;

Playoffs: 33.1 minutes per game, 14 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals, shooting 41.7%, hitting 0.9 three-pointers per game at 29.2%.
