China men's basketball coach Guo Shiqiang outlines goals for the team following Asian Games progress

China's men's basketball head coach Guo Shiqiang said the team, after advancing to the Asian Games semifinals in Nagoya, is focusing on 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with two main goals: Olympic qualification and developing young players. The squad features seven players born in 2000 or later, the youngest in 2007, and the team aims to provide growth opportunities and experience for these newcomers. Three players are sidelined by injury, and Guo noted weaknesses in three-point shooting, offensive choices, and defensive rebounding that need to be addressed.
