2022 is definitely an unbearable year in the history of Chinese basketball.
7, Chinese men's basketball finally won only the second worst place in history in the Asian Cup in Jakarta. If the premise is "the main force plays", then the eighth place this time should be the worst in history. At the same time, including 2017 Fifth, as the most successful team in the history of Asian Cup - no one, the Chinese men's basketball team has failed to reach the semi-finals of Asia twice in a row.
The World Cup is next year. If you want to return to the Olympic family, you must become the best Asian team in the World Cup next year. But judging from the latest record in Asia, perhaps Lebanon is the most promising team. , the Chinese men's basketball team may once again create a greater shame - failing to participate in the Olympics for two consecutive times. The regression of the adult team is disappointing, while the devastating defeat of the younger generation is simply desperate.
8, the U18 Men's Basketball Asian Championship was staged in Tehran, Iran. Without participating in Australia and New Zealand , the Chinese U18 Men's Basketball Team was regarded as the biggest favorite to win the championship. The last U18 (i.e., 2000) was Xu by Leading by Jie , Guo Haowen, Jiang Weize and Wang Quanze, they lost to New Zealand in the semi-finals and finally won third place. This result is obviously quite satisfactory.
But this time, the U18 men's basketball team, which gathered many young domestic players such as Yang Hansen, Liu Jinyu, Li Jiangzhe, Liu Lijia and Sun Yahui, was defeated by the South Korean team in the semi-finals. The little defenders hesitated and made frequent mistakes in the final quarter, and the final ranking was also third, but they were definitely not the same as the third one 4 years ago.
Because this time it was not defeated by the two teams of Oceania , but by the Asian team. At the end of the event, two Korean defenders were selected for the best team, among which Lee Joeyong even won the MVP of this event. And Yang Hansen became the last fig leaf of the Chinese U18 men's basketball team.
The pessimistic fans have given up the Chinese men's basketball team, but they still have the only window in their hearts. This window is the expectation for the young players and the new generation of the Chinese men's basketball team. However, they played Such an embarrassing performance simply makes these fans more autistic. men's basketball adult team has no hope, there will be no chance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and there will be no hope at the U18. Should it be time for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics?
is OK, men's basketball cannot do it, women's basketball is OK, right? They are the backbone of Chinese basketball! At present, the Women's Basketball World Cup has not started yet, and I don't know the result, but the current performance of the U18 Women's Basketball Team in today's Asian Championships may also make fans worry about the future of the entire Chinese Women's Basketball Team .
U18 Women's Basketball Asian Championships kicked off today. China, Japan, provincial teams and Indonesia are in the same group. As the "Big Sister" and the most undisputed strong team in the history of the Asian Championships (12 competitions and 11 championships) , this group stage was ruthlessly defeated.
in the third quarter, the provincial team played a crazy 21-0 wave. It was during this period that the U18 women's basketball team performed very much like the scene when the U18 men's basketball team lost to South Korea a few days ago. The girls in the women's basketball team were holding the ball and handing them out on the line. As soon as the provincial team's defense intensity increased, the guards did not dare to dribble. In a hurry, they had to quickly collect the ball, let alone the offense. They only knew how to do it. The ball is given to the big man in the inside, and no one can break into it.
And more importantly, under this high-intensity defense, the women's basketball team kept making mistakes, and the provincial team made many very easy counterattacks. The reason for it was easy was that the defenders often concede the ball, and the defenders were What? Not only are the players who hold the ball to deal with the offense, but also the team's last line of defense. After passing this line, their own basket becomes as big as the sea.
Chinese basketball has always been "big". The glory of men's basketball in history depends on "China's three mobile Great Walls". The glory of women's basketball depends on FIBA Hall of Fame player big center Zheng Haixia . This time, U18 women's basketball team is also There is no shortage of height, the average 12 players in the competition reached 183, while the provincial team only had 174.
Our first height reaches 2 meters, the second height is 191, while the first height of the provincial team is only 184, and the second height is 179, which means that our second height is higher than the first height of the provincial team. 7 cm, the team is 9 cm higher than the provincial team on average.
You see, our players are tall and strong but they just can't win. The U18 men's basketball team is the same. South Korea's U18 is also very short, but their guard is very outstanding and can still defeat China, which has two inside players, Yang Hansen and Liu Lijia. U18 Men's Basketball Team.
So, what exactly is the problem? It is obvious that this is no longer an individual phenomenon, but a naked collective regression. I was wondering where these girls and boys usually play, what leagues they participate in, who are their coaches, and why they don’t show any technical action? Why are they all countdowns from the same mold? The so-called difference is just a difference in physical talent, that's all, as for technology, consciousness, and philosophy.
A player who has been very popular in the basketball world recently is 16-year-old Zhao Weilun. He is only 180 in height, average wingspan and average bounce, but he can become the leader in the Italian U series. Now he has been promoted to Varese two years ahead of schedule. The first team of the club is about to start their career.
He is very skilled in using technical movements such as dribbling, breaking through, shooting on the court, just like the ones engraved in his bones. The shooting movements such as backward jump shots and emergency stop jump shots are simply good things, but on the other hand, our players, even the national team, are simply good at shooting actions. Few players can make such shots.
But you may not believe it. If a player like Zhao Weilun has been in China, he may have been persuaded to withdraw, and even the youth training team will not be able to enter, let alone CBA. Conversely, if the most powerful peers in China go to Italy, can he achieve Zhao Weilun’s achievements? The answer is certain - impossible!
So, after saying so much, what I want to express is that the training and education model of Chinese basketball has lagged behind, not only lagging behind the world, but also lagging behind some Asian countries. The backward model is only one of them, and the level of grassroots coaches is too low. It is also a difficult fundamental problem. He is too short - eliminated, dunk during fast attack - criticized, personal singles - criticized, confident 3 points - criticized...
Generations of young geniuses may be castrated in this way In the budding stage, you didn't know him, nor did you hear of him, but he could have become a hero of the men's basketball team, which is the reality of Chinese basketball.
is OK. The U18 Women's Basketball Asian Championship has not been completed. I hope they can learn from their mistakes, reflect on themselves in time, and prove themselves again in the subsequent games.
