Let's talk about the recent hot topic - the game of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian preliminaries. Hey, this game is like a movie with big ups and downs, with ups and downs in the plot, which makes people feel like a roller coaster together. In the end, the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team by 3 points away from home. At this point, I can't bear to continue, but in order to complete the story, we still have to talk.
It was a bit of a surprise that the match was characterized as a "fiasco". After all, in terms of scores, it is normal to lose three or five points in a basketball game, but in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, this is an indelible stain. Think about it, losing to Japan for the first time in 88 years was not only a loss of one game, but more like breaking a psychological advantage.
Talk about the coaches and the players. The result of the change of coach does not seem to be satisfactory, and it can even be said to be a complete failure. We've also changed our squad and we're missing someone who can step up when it counts. Although Hu Jinqiu's performance is excellent, basketball is a team sport after all. In particular, Guo Allen's absence has greatly reduced the outside attack power of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the outside shooting rate is only 25%, which is jaw-dropping.
Allen Guo, he's not just a player. On the Asian level, he's the game-changer. Unfortunately, he had to go to Spain** due to injury, leaving the team struggling in the firing line.
This reminds me of what Yao Ming once said: "Instead of looking forward to the appearance of the next Yao Ming, it is better to look forward to the appearance of the next Guo Allen." This is not wrong at all, modern basketball is more and more important to the outside line and the ability of the ball handler, although the inside line is important, but without strong outside support, no matter how strong the interior line is, it is difficult to stand alone.
Therefore, this game is not only a failure, but also a wake-up call for the Chinese men's basketball team. The team has a long way to go in the future, and it needs to find more players who can carry the team forward at critical moments like Guo Allen. The trend in modern basketball is already clear that we need more than just individual flashes, but overall improvement and progress.
So the question is, how can the Chinese men's basketball team get out of the current trough and regain its glory? Should we continue to rely on traditional interior strengths, or should we develop our outside attacking power, or do we need to make fundamental changes in tactics and team building? Everyone is welcome to express their opinions in the comment area, and let us make suggestions for the future of the Chinese men's basketball team. 2 times the points invite you to post in the New Year
