Yesterday Chinese men's basketball team defeated Chinese Taipei with a big score. Coupled with the previous double defeat of Japan, we entered the World Cup with a record of three wins and one loss. But yesterday's game, despite a nearly 40-point victory, aroused concerns both inside and outside the circle. Why is this?
The first half of the game against Taipei exposed many problems. First of all, the division of labor on the outside is unclear, and there is no main attack point. Anyone with the ball can do it. It can be seen from the first game against Australia that we suffered too much from the physical confrontation against a strong team. For example, Zhao Rui 's physical fitness is the only one in CBA, but facing Australia, we obviously couldn't make it. The only defenders who can get inside to complete the kill are Guo Ailun , which is also very difficult. When facing Taipei, we had almost no smooth tactical coordination in the first half and relied entirely on personal ability. It's okay to face a weak team, but it's absolutely not okay to face a strong team.
Guo Ailun
When we face Australia again, the two main points of attack, one internal and one external, must be clear, namely Guo Ailun and Zhou Qi. The protection of these two points is also an issue that needs to be solved urgently. When we had Yao Ming before, the one who protected Yao Ming was his eldest brother Yi Jianlian , helping Yao Ming rush for rebounds. This can achieve the performance of one plus one being greater than two. Now we are short of people who do the dirty work, and everyone is eager to express themselves. People like Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan should do a good job of protecting Guo Ailun. Why Xu Jie plays well is that he has a clear positioning and a certain ability to finish outside. . Several big players ( Wang Zhelin , Shen Zijie ) in the inside line must also prepare good moves for Zhou Qi. This way the division of labor is clear, and I believe the Chinese men's basketball team will have a higher combat effectiveness.
We have already played against Australia once. The opponent's targeted defense will be stronger next time we meet. First of all, can , Gu Quan, , this unique weapon, continue to play in the next game? Zhou Qi's targeted defense will definitely become more intense, and the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely play harder. Although we are at a disadvantage, we will never give up. We hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can play its own characteristics. Come on, Chinese men’s basketball team.
