Men's Basketball Asian Cup group stage continues, Chinese men's basketball team completely defeated the Korean men's basketball team in the first game, but in the words of teacher Su Qun, the tenacious fighting spirit of the Chinese men's basketball boys deserves respect. In the second game against Bahrain , Zhou Qi has returned to the team. In an interview, he said that his physical condition is better, but whether he can play depends on the coach's arrangements. There is not much suspense about the outcome in the battle with Bahrain. Statistics show that the Chinese men's basketball team has won all 6 games against Bahrain, with an average margin of 42.7 points per game over its opponents. There is a huge gap in strength. Du Feng slightly adjusted the starting lineup: Zhao Rui + Fan Ziming + Hu Mingxuan + Gu Quan + Sun Minghui . From the beginning of the first quarter, Gu Quan was on full fire and the Bahrain team was defeated. However, the expulsion of Zhao Rui and Sun Minghui in the second quarter became a turning point.
In the beginning, both teams started to feel good from the outside. After Gu Quan hit a three-pointer, he caused another three-point foul on his opponent. Then Hu Mingxuan scored a mid-range shot. When Bahrain overtook the Chinese men's basketball team, Gu Quan hit two consecutive three-pointers, plus Fan Ziming's layup. Basketball, Bahrain was forced to call a timeout. After the timeout, Gu Quan still hit three-pointers. Jiang Weize's jump shot and Hu Mingxuan's three-pointer opened the point difference to 13 points. The Chinese men's basketball team's defense was a little lax in the second half, but Jiang Weize's three-pointer allowed the Chinese men's basketball team to maintain a double-digit lead. In the first quarter, the Chinese team led the Bahrain team 29-18. Gu Quan scored 15 points in a single quarter, while Hu Mingxuan, who had a poor performance in the previous game, also played proactively. What makes the fans happy is that Wang Zhelin also played in this game.
Back in the second quarter, Wang Zhelin received a pass from Gu Quan to eat the pie, but then committed two consecutive offensive fouls, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Du Feng's coach and was immediately replaced. Gu Quan hit another three-pointer to stabilize the situation. The referee blew the whistle for a defensive foul too late, which caused dissatisfaction from the Chinese team. Sun Minghui received a technical foul first. Zhao Rui was dissatisfied and kept pointing at the referee. As a result, he received two technical fouls and was expelled. . Sun Minghui was subsequently expelled, and the Chinese men's basketball boys seemed to be in a bad mood today. After the two backcourt players were expelled, the Chinese men's basketball team was hit by a 17-7 climax by the Bahrain team. The Bahrain team chased the Chinese men's basketball team 41-45 at halftime. In fact, the Chinese men's basketball team had every opportunity to widen the point difference early and seal the victory in advance. However, judging from the players' emotional control, including their defensive attitude after taking the lead, they did not do their best.
At the beginning of the second half, Wang Zhelin was called for an offensive foul again. The referee was obviously targeting the Chinese team. Fortunately, Zhai Xiaochuan and Jiang Weize stepped forward and hit consecutive three-pointers to stabilize the situation. But the Bahrain team, which had already shown confidence, blossomed inside and outside and clung to the score. With his opponent controlling the rhythm, Jiang Weize's performance is worthy of praise. He hit consecutive three-pointers and mid-range floaters and played very aggressively. At the end of the quarter, Jiang Weize committed another three-point foul on his opponent. After three quarters, the Chinese men's basketball team led the Bahrain team 66-61. To be honest, the Chinese men's basketball team lacks offensive methods. Fortunately, today's three-pointers were generally very accurate. Gu Quan was there in the first quarter, and Jiang Weize was there at the critical moment in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, after Xu Jie hit a three-pointer, Hu Mingxuan made two free throws. Bahrain relied on Rashid to continuously attack the basket to bite the score, and the two teams fell into a tug-of-war. Hu Mingxuan attacked the basket to cause damage, and then assisted Wang Zhelin to attack and eat the pie. However, the Bahrain team became more and more unreasonable and even threw long three-pointers. In the last 3 minutes, the Chinese men's basketball team only led by 1 point. Gu Quan and Xu Jie made consecutive passing errors and were overtaken by Bahrain. In the last minute, the two teams made consecutive three-pointers. Jiang Weize held the ball to press the time, and then missed the three-pointer. At the critical moment, Gu Quan scored a tip-in, but missed the extra free throw and then went out of bounds. In the last 5 seconds, the Bahrain team failed to complete the attack. Wang Zhelin stole the ball. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated the Bahrain team 80-79!
data, for the Chinese team, Jiang Weize had 20 points, Gu Quan had 22 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Hu Mingxuan had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Xu Jie had 8 points and 3 rebounds, and Wang Zhelin had 8 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals. For Bahrain, Rashid had 15 points and 4 assists, while Chisim had 23 points and 14 rebounds.
It’s so hard to win! It must be said that the referee's decision was completely in favor of the Bahrain team. The Bahrain team is weak and at a disadvantage in height confrontation, which in the eyes of the referee becomes an advantage when blowing the whistle. Zhao Rui received two technical fouls in a row, and his temper should really be controlled. When Zhao Rui and Sun Minghui were both ejected, the entire rotation of the Chinese team was obviously in a mess, and Xu Jie was a bit difficult to control the court. In addition, although the Chinese men's basketball team has advantages in size and confrontation, it does not do a good job in rebounding protection and lacks enthusiasm for rushing. Wang Zhelin, who has just come back, has become the focus of the referee's attention. Rushing to the basket with the ball is an offensive foul. Overall, the remnant Chinese team played in a rather awkward manner, or Du Feng's guidance has reached the point where no one is available, but the performances of Jiang Weize and Gu Quan deserve praise.
hopes that Zhou Qi can come back in the next game against Chinese Taipei . At present, the Chinese men's basketball team lacks an offensive fulcrum and cannot expect to maintain such a high shooting rate from the outside every game. Secondly, I hope Zhao Rui can control his temper. This is not the first time, but I hope it will be the last time. Again, there is nothing wrong with standing up for teammates, and the referee's whistle is obviously biased. But if you still blame the referee and scream after receiving a technical foul, then it is your own problem. The best way to respond to your opponent and referee is to win by a big score, rather than acting on emotion.
