As for another young African-American player, Chen Jamie, he was not selected for this list.

It is indeed the original intention of the Malaysian Basketball Association to “join” the U18 national youth team to participate in the Heads of State Cup to prepare for international competitions.Looking back at the four games in Group B, the National Youth Team won the most thrilling victory against Selangor yesterday (23rd) (84 to 82). Matsui Yasuhito revealed that he saw the young players’ faces pale during the game. “They were scared when they heard that their opponent was Selangor.” Perhaps it was as Selangor has dominated the U15 and U17 national competitions for many years.

Asked about the performance of the national youth players, Matsui Yasuhito shook his head immediately and replied, “It’s not good enough.”

Matsui Yasuhito and his assistant yuisho Hanada have been in contact as August last yearstarted with the Negeri Sembilan Jinqunli Youth Army, and then assisted the National Youth Men’s Basketball Team in training, cooperating with local sports school coach cai Guoquan.

Matsui, who is from Kyoto, has rich Japanese basketball coaching experience. He was active in the Japanese B3 league and served as assistant coach, acting head coach and management. he has a profound background in the japanese professional basketball system.
