Losing is due to inferior skills, which comes from the fact that the level of the league is inferior to others.
After halftime of this game, most fans thought that the game might be wasted because we were 16 points behind at one point and could not prevent our opponents from high-quality pick-and-rolls. However, our pick-and-rolls were all feints, and we seemed to lose. In terms of outside three-pointers, in fact, in terms of defensive details, the Chinese men's basketball team was completely defeated.
Defense is a contest of strength and movement speed. Unfortunately, compared with Australia, the Chinese team is at a disadvantage in both of these two areas. Every time our defender goes around to catch the ball, he is faced with a shadowy defense that cannot move away. There was always a stagnation in the movement of the ball if there was no squeezing, but the Australian team played smoothly.
is inferior to others as a whole, but when it comes to individual abilities, it is not inferior to others.
Fans all said that in this game Zhou Qi was excellent at both ends of the offense and defense. Guo Ailun was the only defender who could break through and score. Gu Quan was an unexpected surprise. Xu Jie was a stable one, but there were still people on the Internet before. It is said that Du Feng is nepotistic, and Xu Jie should not be selected. After watching this game, will you still say the same?
At 16:30 on June 30, Beijing time, in the men's basketball World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 69-76 to Australian men's basketball team . The scores in the four quarters were 15-17, 19-26, 21-14, 14-19. .
was evenly matched with
. Judging from the score, 15 to 17, the two teams were evenly matched in the first quarter.
encountered world-class defensive intensity at the beginning. The Chinese team's two open three-point shots from the outside were blocked. Fortunately, Australia's first four shots were all missed. The opponent's outside touch was not good, and the inside attack was blocked by Zhou Qi in the basket. With high pressure and the help of Shen Zijie , the score was not widened.
Although this Australian team is the second team, their defense is really strong, their strength is strong, and they move fast. I thought that the Chinese men’s basketball team could use Guangdong’s fast-playing tactics, but in the face of the opponent’s defense, how could we be faster than our opponent? when.
In the first quarter, the opponent scored several times in transition, but the Chinese men's basketball team didn't seem to have a single one, which was restricted by the opponent's quick retreat.
Gore has been immersed in CBA for many years and is wary of Du Feng's playing style.
Three-pointers rained down
In the second quarter, it was 19 to 26. It seemed that the Chinese team scored quite well, more than in the first quarter. However, in the first half of the game, with a lucky three-pointer, Australia started to rain three-pointers. The score difference widened to 16 points, which once made Chinese fans feel that the game would be taken away early.
Fortunately, veteran Gu Quan stepped forward in time and responded with a three-pointer to prevent the point difference from widening further. Finally, he hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to control the point difference within a catch-up area.
The maximum single-digit score in the FIBA ​​ game is already a relatively large point difference, which makes the Australian players a little slack. This gave Gu Quan relatively ample opportunities to take action. Otherwise, with Gu Quan's relatively slow movement speed like the first quarter, it would be easy to be interfered with.
Jedi counterattack
The third quarter is Guo Ailun's performance moment. Anyone who often watches CBA knows this.
In the first two quarters, Guo Ailun didn't do much in guarding. He also hit open three-pointers and missed the basket. He didn't even have a strong breakout. There was also the embarrassment of a rear-end foul.
In the CBA, Guo Ailun, like Zhao Rui, is known for his strong confrontation strength. However, when facing Australian players, this has become their shortcoming. They cannot squeeze out their opponents at all. Instead, they lose because their strength is used in confrontation. Controlling the ball, this was the craziest and most frustrating game for Zhao Rui, because his layups were always blocked by his opponents. In the CBA, there was a high probability that he would be penalized for blocking, but international referees did not care. In this set, they regarded the first establishment of the defensive zone as the only criterion, which gave the Australian players the upper hand. When Zhao Rui and Wang Zhelin dribbled the ball to the baseline, they were both squeezed out of the field and made mistakes.
Du Feng's method of using a high guard as a small forward seems to have failed.
But Guo Ailun refuses to admit defeat. His pick-and-roll quality is not high, so he controls the ball in singles. The third quarter has always been his best period. He is still relatively advantageous in one-on-one situations. He can get into the paint or get stronger or come from behind. Step-back jumper, scoring skyrocketed.
Zhou Qi also maintained a stable output, especially a layup from outside the three-point line, which greatly boosted the team's morale. When Gu Quan hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, the score was 55-57, and Australia lost from the outside in this quarter. Edge, 21 to 14, the Chinese team won back 7 points. When
entered the final quarter, the two-point gap made the game full of suspense.
failed
In the first half of this quarter, the Chinese team tied the score twice. Wang Zhelin scored 2+1, and then Guo Ailun hit a jumper from the free throw line. However, just when they were about to take the lead, they could not guard their opponents on the defensive end. An unfavorable penalty was passed. Gu Quan blocked the shot and was sentenced to a foul. This ball was exactly the same as Wang Zhelin's previous block. The referee thought that there was no problem with the block, but thought that the opponent had dived and gave the Chinese team a free throw. This one was given to the opponent. Three free throws.
Afterwards, Guo Ailun was a little impatient. When accelerating in the midfield, the opponent intercepted the ball and counterattacked. With Australia's two corner three-pointers to stop the bleeding, he finally failed and could not recover.
Overall, the fans thought the team played well, which made the Australian second team break into a cold sweat at home.
Zhou Qi scored 16 points and 17 rebounds, which is worthy of the core performance of the team. After playing in NBL for more than a year, the improvement in confrontation ability can be seen with the naked eye. He does not wander around shooting from the outside. He plays tougher and has great power on the defensive end. , if the opening few throws are more accurate, and if the skills at the basket and passing vision are better, it is still possible to return to NBA.
Guo Ailun played like he was in the league in the third and fourth quarters. Except for being a little reckless with the ball before the end, he behaved very calmly at other times. When he didn't feel good on the outside, he used inside jump shots, and his scoring efficiency was obvious. improve.
Xu Jie's calmness was compared to Zhao Jiwei . The most disappointing thing was Hu Mingxuan. He still couldn't regain the feeling he had when he was elected FMVP last year. After all, he was the sharp edge in Du Feng's hands during the losing game. , is not afraid to play against European teams.
Zhao Rui's powerful style of play makes it difficult for teams to take advantage of European teams, which is expected.
