Beiqing: Chinese National Basketball Team Assigns Homework to Young Players; Liao San’ning Needs to Increase Bench Press by Kilograms

On September 23, @Beiqing Sports updated their Weibo post discussing the homework assigned to four young players by the Chinese National Basketball Team and the need for Liao San’ning to increase his bench press by 10 kilograms. The original text is as follows:

The Chinese National Basketball Team has concluded its summer training camp this year. Before disbanding, the team conducted a summary meeting. According to a report by Beiqing Youth Daily on the 23rd, the coaching staff of the Chinese National Basketball Team assigned “homework” to four young players including Liao San’ning from the Beijing Control Team and Yang Hanshen from the Qingdao Team, emphasizing the need for them to strengthen their physical training. When the next national team window period arrives, the Chinese National Basketball Team will inspect their progress.

The Chinese National Basketball Team did not have any major competitions this summer, allowing them relatively ample time to train young players. In the previous month, the Chinese National Basketball Team underwent high-altitude physical training and closed training camps. The players’ physical reserves were strengthened, and their shooting confidence improved, which was evident in the two games against the Spanish team Joventut Badalona. After these two matches, the Chinese National Basketball Team completed its summer training camp, and the players returned to their respective teams.

In the summary meeting before disbanding, many players talked about their physiological reactions and even physical discomfort during their first high-altitude training, with some players also dealing with injuries. However, they all persevered to complete the training tasks assigned by the coaching staff. Reflecting on this experience, everyone had many feelings, believing that high-altitude training not only enhanced their physical fitness but also tempered their willpower and strengthened the team’s cohesion.

In the summary, the coaching staff required the players to maintain high standards after returning to their clubs, strictly adhering to the standards of national team players, bringing the good habits developed during the national team training camp back to their club training sessions, and continuously improving themselves physically, technically, tactically, and psychologically, always ready to contribute more energy to the Chinese National Basketball Team.

According to reports from Beiqing Youth Daily, the coaching staff of the Chinese National Basketball Team also provided detailed requirements for young players such as Liao San’ning and Yang Hanshen, including requiring Liao San’ning to increase his bench press weight from 80 kilograms to 90 kilograms by the next national team training camp.

In fact, the Chinese National Basketball Team has had similar practices in the past. For example, when Du Feng led the Blue Team, he left “homework” for each player, setting higher training goals for them during the league season, encouraging them to continuously improve themselves.
