Chinese women's basketball played back and forth with the US team in the World Cup that ended yesterday. Although he lost 14 points in the end, he did not give up until the last moment of the game. The suspense of the game has always been there, especially the Chinese women's basketball team played very well in the second half, which also attracted the attention of fans, including many basketball media people. Former CCTV-famous basketball commentator Yang Yi commented on this game on his personal social media.
She said that the turning point of the Chinese women's basketball team in this game should have occurred in a substitution in the third quarter. In the first half, the Chinese team was already pulled away by nearly 20 points. We could not defend the opponent's defense, and our speed could not keep up with the opponent's counterattack. We were about to be beaten to death in this game. However, in the third quarter, the Chinese women's basketball team still insisted on its double-high tactics, but only took down the relatively slow Li Yueru , and then asked Han Xu to match Dilana, a very young but able to keep up with the inside line. In the end, the Chinese team reversed the situation in the third quarter. Although we were unable to fill in the pit in the first half in the second half, we won the US team by five points in the second half, which proves that the head coach's adjustment was very successful.
At the same time, Yang Yi also said that basketball is always in the same way in terms of tactics. It is about playing high and fast. If I am not as fast as you, then I will use height to hit you. This is the most basic idea of tactics. And at the end, it was noted, why don’t we try to continue using this method? In fact, although the point she mentioned is the point that ends, everyone understands what she is talking about, referring to Chinese men's basketball . Because the Chinese women's basketball team has already adhered to the tactic of playing double highs and played to our traditional advantages. But our Chinese men's basketball team, including in the previous World Cup qualifiers, including in the Asian Cup games, the head coach of Du Feng gave up the tactic of using double height, either playing three defenders, or two forwards were similar to players with the third position like Gu Quan and Zhu Junlong . In short, it was not playing double height tactics, and it also gave up the traditional height advantages of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia in the past, so the Chinese men's basketball team only achieved one-level achievements in the Asian Cup.
Although there are many objective factors in it, Du Feng's tactical adjustment did encounter great criticism. Among them, I think the most unfair, or the most regrettable thing is that the Liaoning team won the championship last season, inside Fu Hao . Fu Hao has always existed in the team in both the World Cup in the previous World Cup and the subsequent Asian Cup. However, as long as it is Zhou Qi , Wang Zhelin , Fu Hao basically can't get a minute of playing time. There is no standard number four position in the tactics used by Du Feng . She has always liked to use such number three players to top the number four position, which makes Fu Hao's position in this lineup very embarrassing, and it can't help but arouse doubts from fans.
Why is Fu Hao wronged? Since she doesn't plan to play the double-high tactic, why do she waste such a precious place on Fu Hao and fly around with Fu Hao, but she doesn't give her a chance to exercise. Fortunately, it's better to bring a small forward or defender. Will the effect be better if this happens? Personally, I don’t think that the tactic of the three-guard cannot be played. In fact, this tactic has indeed been successful in the past. In the 2019 Men’s Basketball World Cup, although the Chinese team played poorly in the group stage, especially in the game against Poland, why can they compete with the World Cup quarterfinals, the semi-finals of the European Championship, and one of the world’s top teams, and even suppressed their opponents in the whole game. If it weren’t for our own mistakes, the Chinese team would have won that game. A very important reason is that Li Nan also played the tactics of three defenders at that time.
So, no matter whether Yang Yi said this, whether the Chinese team should pick up the double-high tactics, at least it means one thing. If you really want to stick to your tactics, you really don’t need to balance the interests of various places for some other reasons and choose to bring a player who is worthless to you. I think this is also a waste for Fu Hao. He has a full enthusiasm for serving the country, but he will not be valued at all in the team, which seems very, very embarrassing.
