The Chinese men's basketball team suffered a heavy defeat against the Japanese team, and head coach Djordjevic became the first sinner in people's mouths. As the leader of the team, his stubbornness and mistakes became more and more obvious. The limited ability to control on the field raises doubts about Djordjevic's tactical skills. He stuck to the original lineup and did not make changes, which caused the team to be at a loss at critical moments. In the match against the Mongolian team, Zhao Jiwei, who was stubbornly in a sluggish state, insisted on his own opinions regardless of the realistic performance, and his coaching style was worrying. In the final 20 seconds of the game, Djordjevic's absence gave the opponent an opportunity, and the lack of command on the sidelines left the team confused. This tactical mistake and stubbornness made the team's situation even worse.
In addition, Djordjevic has also been criticized for the use of players. His obsession led to Zhao Jiwei and other players still playing in poor condition, and his employment principle is debatable. As the leader of the team, Djordjevic's stubbornness caused the team to miss a good chance to win the championship and struggled to move forward at a crucial moment.
As one of the captains of the team, Zhao Jiwei's performance in the game was also questioned. He failed to step up at crucial moments, leading the team through comebacks, lacking a true leader. Zhao Jiwei played 25 minutes in this game, but failed to bring victory to the team, and the 3-point shot was completely lost, which undoubtedly brought a huge setback to the team. As a scorer for the team's important offensive points, he repeatedly missed at critical moments and could not take his due responsibility. When Hu Mingxuan made a key mistake, Zhao Jiwei failed to appear on the field in time to support, showing an obvious lack of leadership. His form has been sluggish more than once, and his suitability for the national team has been controversial, and Zhao's leadership is questionable.
Yang Hansen, who was supposed to play a key role on the field, had a dismal performance against Japan. He fouled a succession of fouls and made frequent mistakes during the game, which led to a reversal of the situation. Compared to his previous excellent performance against Mongolia, his performance in this match was undoubtedly a big disappointment. Yang Hansen's technical and tactical level and stability have been questioned, and it is difficult to undertake the important tasks of the team in a short period of time. His performance in the game can be described as volatile, and NBA scouts are waiting to see him, which poses a certain threat to his future development. Failing to play stably at critical moments, Yang Hansen became a major factor in the defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Yao Ming, as a leading figure in Chinese basketball, has also become the focus of attention for his gambling and mistakes. His blind trust in Djordjevic put the team in a difficult position at a critical moment. Yao Ming had certain flaws in the management and scheduling of the team, and his "big gamble" and persistence failed to bring victory to the team, but instead led to consecutive defeats. Yao Ming's stubborn style and obsession prove that he needs to improve at the management level, and behind the big gamble is the direct cause of the poor record of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The loss of the Chinese men's basketball team in this game has exposed many problems that need to be rectified in time. Djordjevic and others were worrisome in their performances, and their lack of tactical adaptability cost the team its competitive edge at key moments. Players such as Zhao Jiwei and Yang Hansen failed to achieve overall planning at critical moments, and frequent mistakes led to damage to the team's record. Yao Ming's gambling and persistence have made the team lose consecutive games, and there is a long way to go to revive its strength.
The Chinese men's basketball team needs the whole team to work together to solve the problems of lack of pillars and leaders, so as to achieve better results in the future. The adjustment of management, the improvement of the state of the players, and the adjustment of tactics all require continuous efforts to make the Chinese men's basketball team regain its former glory. In the face of setbacks, unity and common progress are the key to the future development of the Chinese men's basketball team.
