The new list of Chinese men's basketball team has been released: the Chinese Basketball Association announced a list of 29 trainees, and only three of the former four major players from Guangdong made the cut.

Global Basketball Network news, Beijing time, May 4th - The Chinese Basketball Association announced a new 29-player training roster for the upcoming Chinese men's national basketball team, including Yao Ming. Surprisingly, Du Feng from Guangdong team, an eight-year veteran of the national team, was not included in this list. This is the first time since 2002 that Du Feng has not been selected for the national team without being injured. As a result, only three of the rumored four major players from Guangdong remain. Hu Xuefeng from Jiangsu team and Wang Lei from Bayi team were also not selected. Chen Jianghua and Liu Xiaoyu from Guangdong team did not make it to the big list either. In addition to head coach Bob邓 Spivey (assuming 邓华德 translates as Bob Spivey) and Chinese coaching group leader Guo Shiqiang who were previously confirmed, Li Nan and Fan Bin from Bayi team are also part of the coaching staff.
