World Cup preliminaries, Chinese men's basketball team lost 69-76 to Australian men's basketball team . It can be said that this was an ups and downs game, with the maximum score difference once reaching about 20 points. However, the Chinese men's basketball team showed excellent resilience in the third quarter and even tied the score at one point. However, after entering the final quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team encountered targeted defense from the opponent and encountered some physical challenges. In the end, it was a pity that they lost the game.
This is not the most powerful Australian men's basketball team. Players like Patty Mills, Joe Ingles, Aron Baynes and other players did not participate in the war. However, the Australian men's basketball team is one of the top three teams in the world, and it is reasonable for the Chinese men's basketball team to lose the game. Even if they lost the game, the Chinese men's basketball team still has something worthy of praise, especially the performance in the second half, which showed the hard work of the Chinese men's basketball team. And this is what the Chinese men's basketball team should be like.
The most outstanding performer was Zhou Qi. He made 7 of 12 shots and 2 of 5 free throws, scoring 16 points and 17 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds among the 17 rebounds. You must know that the Australian men's basketball team only grabbed 6 offensive rebounds. Zhou Qi is strong enough in fighting for offensive rebounds. Of course, offensive rebounds are only one aspect. Zhou Qi gave people the impression of comprehensive improvement during the game. In the last quarter of the game, the Australian men's basketball team's frequent double attacks were the best proof. In this regard, many fans lamented that in one season of playing in the Australian League, Zhou Qi completely became the devil that fans expected.
Speaking of which, Zhou Qi was able to make such obvious progress because of the Chinese men's basketball team's "accidental success". Due to contract issues, Zhou Qi does not have many options after the 20-21 season. As long as the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team offers a maximum salary contract, Zhou Qi must stay in the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team. Since the relationship between the two parties was already tense, Zhou Qi finally chose to play in the Australian League. It has to be said that the Australian league is more intense than the CBA league . In order to better compete in the Australian league, Zhou Qi has significantly improved his personal strength, skills and tactics. And his improvement is the best gain for the Chinese men's basketball team. As the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Du Feng is actually the biggest beneficiary.
Just imagine, if Zhou Qi ends up staying in CBA, considering the overall competitive level of CBA, Zhou Qi may not make such obvious progress. After all, Zhou Qi before playing in the Australian League can already dominate both offense and defense in CBA. . Therefore, Zhou Qi's progress is a "mistake." Policy factors led Zhou Qi to leave the CBA league. In order to adapt to the intensity of the Australian league, Zhou Qi worked hard to improve himself, and then came back to "feed back" the Chinese men's basketball team. This is somewhat similar to when Yao Ming competed in NBA . In 2008, the Chinese men's basketball team could compete with the world's strongest team , and the key was Yao Ming's existence.
A long time ago, Luis Scola, a meritorious figure in the Argentine men's basketball team, made it clear in an interview that the competition in the CBA league was insufficient, which was not conducive to the improvement of player standards and league standards. Therefore, it is best for young local players to go to higher-level leagues for experience. The NBA is the highest goal, but in addition to the NBA, some European leagues , and Australian leagues can also achieve good results. Zhou Qi is the best example. Basketball Association Chairman Yao Ming will also feel the same way. He should actively promote the CBA to introduce relevant policies to allow young and talented players to compete in higher-level leagues. In this way, the overall level of the Chinese men's basketball team will be further improved.
