After a day's rest, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the second battle with the Australian team. In the previous match, the Chinese men's basketball team tied with its opponents at 45 in the first three quarters. However, unexpectedly, in the fourth quarter, the offensive end of the team suddenly failed, and only one sports game scored. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Australian team 48-71. The team will usher in the last game of the third window of the World Cup preliminaries tomorrow afternoon. The opponent is Chinese Taipei team .
refreshed the lowest single quarter score in team history
3 to 26. After a good performance in the first three quarters, the Chinese men's basketball team performed incredibly in the fourth quarter, relying only on Wang Zhelin 's free throws and Ren Junwei 's mid-range shot scored 3 points, and also set a new low in team history for points scored in a single quarter. "First of all, I think this game was better than the last one. Although we are playing away from home, there are many unfavorable factors. But in the first three quarters of our game, this young team played very passionately and hard, leading the opponent in most situations." As head coach Du Feng said, although the score difference is not big, the Chinese men's team has played very hard. The Basketball team was in the lead in the first three quarters, but surprisingly, the team suffered an unprecedented collapse in the final quarter. "The problem still occurs in the fourth quarter. Maybe after everyone's physical fitness declines, there will be some problems in the choices and judgments in the offense." problems, resulting in some unnecessary mistakes, including errors in baseline and sideline balls, allowing the opponent to directly counterattack, and the defensive process was not clear enough, allowing the opponent to hit some open three-pointers. "
is participating in the World Preliminaries and Asia. Cup , the Chinese men's basketball team recruited a total of 14 players, but Sun Minghui, Zhao Jiwei and Fu Hao were all unable to play due to injuries. This resulted in the team having only 11 players available for the game against the Australian team. , coupled with the fact that Ren Junwei and Shen Zijie sat on the sidelines for almost the entire game, it was equivalent to the team adopting a nine-man rotation strategy. "In this kind of high-intensity game, everyone's physical energy consumption is indeed relatively large. In fact, in the first half We defended very well and allowed the opponent to make only one three-pointer. However, in the second half, our physical exhaustion caused some problems in personnel rotation and defense. I think it is a pity. Everyone can persist and push forward, which will be different for the growth and progress of the team. "
Throughout the game, Wang Zhelin, who came off the bench, scored a team-high 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 rebounds. He also became the only player in the team to score in double figures after stealing the ball. "This was a very difficult game. Everyone worked hard in the first half, but some problems occurred in the second half. In the fourth quarter, Due to the decline in physical fitness, we failed to implement the tactical intentions of the coaching staff well on both offense and defense, which led to the collapse. "Wang Zhelin said that through the two games against the Australian team, the team is also constantly learning and improving." We have indeed learned a lot from our opponents. We still have a game ahead and need to go back and summarize and prepare.”
The state of the back line is worrying
The Chinese men’s basketball team played against Australia when Sun Minghui and Zhao Jiwei were exempted from the game due to injuries. In the team's game, the "three defenders" of Guo Ailun , Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Rui were sent as starters, but the answers given by the three throughout the game were difficult to satisfy the fans. According to statistics, the three made a total of 6 of 32 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 18.7%, and even 0 of 11 from beyond the three-point line. This is not difficult to explain why the team only scored 48 points in the entire game. "I I felt that everyone was too shackles on themselves and too nervous. I saw Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie’s lips turned white. I kept telling them to just enjoy the game and not worry about winning or losing. Losing is a problem of our coaching staff. The players don’t need to worry about this. We have been emphasizing this with them, but we were still too nervous during the game."
As one of the last defenders in the country at this stage, Guo Ailun's performance in the world preliminaries has also been criticized a lot. Du Feng also rarely criticized him after the game, "Guo Ailun, I have always told him, you are in the domestic competition. He is a very good attacker, but when it comes to international competitions and encountering high-intensity teams, he made 3 of 16 shots in the entire game and only had 6 points. This efficiency is really horribly low. I wonder if we can better share the ball with our teammates. Playing basketball is not something that can be done alone. His breakthrough is very good and he can create some opportunities for his teammates. "According to statistics, the Chinese men's basketball team only sent out 7 assists, while the opponent Australian team had 18. "We played too simple on the offensive end. He didn't do a very good job in moving the ball or mobilizing the opponent's defense. Losing is not terrible for this young team, but you must know why you lose in order to make better progress. We can't forget how we lost the next day. This is terrible. Our coaching staff and players all need to summarize better, learn from better teams, and share the ball better. This is what we need to do. "
Perhaps it was out of preparation for the last game against the Chinese Taipei team that the coaching staff did not send Zhou Qi to play again when they were trailing by a big score in the final quarter. Compared with the 16 points and 17 rebounds in the first game For example, Zhou Qi only scored 5 points and 9 rebounds in this game, but his role on the court is obviously not simply reflected through the data level. "The role of a player does not depend on how many points he scores. As long as Zhou Qi is on the court, he will affect the opponent's defense. This is the greatest help to the team. On the two strong points of Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin, the opponent adopted a flanking tactic. Based on this situation, we also made some arrangements and requirements, but we failed to achieve any of them on the playing field. "Du Feng said, "So I say that the execution ability of the players is very important. The requirements we put forward in the preparation meeting and the things we practiced in training were not reflected on the court. This is a big trouble. In terms of focusing on executing the coach's intentions, everyone still needs to work together and make changes. "
