Yu Jiahao Shares Asian Games Accommodation Photos of Container Rooms; Fans Say 'No Different from Living on a Construction Site'

To prepare for the 2026 Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team, led by head coach Guo Shiqiang, has already arrived in Japan. The team will now enter the final stage of preparation.

However, unfortunately, after arriving in Nagoya, the Chinese men's basketball team encountered heavy rain. Under these circumstances, the team was unable to conduct training for the entire day yesterday.

At the same time, the team's accommodation conditions have also drawn attention, as they are staying in rooms converted from containers, with three players sharing one room.

According to reports, a player said that because basketball players are relatively tall, the beds in the rooms were not long enough in some cases. In addition, the rooms could potentially be flooded during rainy weather, leading some players to worry that the container rooms could be washed away by water...

Just now, Chinese men's basketball player Yu Jiahao also shared photos of the team's Asian Games accommodation environment through his personal online platform. Judging from the photos, the rooms look no different from construction-site containers. It is no wonder that some fans commented: 'It is no different from when I lived at a construction site back then...'

Speaking frankly, judging from such accommodation conditions at the Asian Games, this also shows that the organizers have done a very effective job in controlling costs, keeping spending under control and saving wherever possible. The principle seems to be that as long as athletes have a place to stay, whether it is comfortable is a separate matter.

In fact, this type of accommodation situation has occurred before. For example, at the previous Olympic Games, many athletes' dormitories did not have air conditioning installed, and participating teams could only install air conditioners themselves. Of course, they could also pay for hotels on their own. For example, like the U.S. men's basketball team, they did not stay in the hotels arranged by the event organizers but instead stayed on a luxury cruise ship at their own expense.

Here, we also hope that the Chinese men's basketball players can maintain a positive mindset and not let the accommodation environment affect their mood. Stay happy and stay focused.

According to the Asian Games schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team will play its first Asian Games match on September 11, with Kazakhstan's men's basketball team as the opponent. It is hoped that the Chinese team can deliver a strong performance and secure victory.
