Although the Chinese and Japanese men's basketball teams successfully won the first game, the experience on the court was quite embarrassing.
At the beginning of the match, both China and Japan tried to put on a good performance, but in the course of the game, there were some undeniable awkward scenes.
Although the Chinese team successfully won the first game of the competition, they experienced some unsatisfactory moments in the process. There were some incongruities in the team's performance on the pitch compared to expectations, which was very impressive.
Japan, meanwhile, also won their opening match, but the awkward moments on the field were also impressive. There seemed to be a brief dissonance between the players, which was evident during the game.
Overall, although both teams won, the awkward moments during the game also made one wonder if there was room for improvement in terms of chemistry and performance. Hopefully, in the next games, the two teams will be able to work better together and show a better competitive form.
The Chinese men's basketball team relied on its height advantage to occupy 52% of the shots under the basket, and with a staggering 41A 4% second offensive rebound beat the Mongols to an 80-49 score. It was a resounding victory, and it is worth mentioning that the tallest player in the Mongolian team is only 2.04m, and we still have a clear height advantage against Asian teams, which coincides with Djordjevic's philosophy.
However, the situation is very different for today's European basketball system. Nowadays, most teams adopt a 1-on-1 strategy, fully emulating the NBA, and the small-ball tactic has become the mainstream of world basketball. Without accurate outside shooting, it will be extremely difficult to win the game. Just as our phones are constantly being upgraded, the world of basketball is constantly changing. However, it has always been a mystery to create a system with independent intellectual property rights of Chinese basketball according to the technical characteristics of Chinese players. Maybe we never really think about it, just mechanically imitate, plagiarize, copy.
The ** before the game was almost fulfilled like a prophecy, and the scene shown in the first quarter of the game was really unbearable to look at. At the beginning of the game, tension was pervasive, shooting percentage was sluggish, backcourt rebounding protection was ineffective, mistakes were frequent, and the passing and shooting of the guard line was at a low point. These problems were still evident against a weaker Mongolian side, who won by a big margin but were still tactically difficult to perfect. The propaganda of the so-called European system and the five offensive initiation points of the whole team seems to be just an empty game, like a bowl of bland and tasteless ecstasy soup, or a pair of ineffective *** that does not help the overall improvement of the team. In the league, we still seem to be playing by inertia and there are no tactical adjustments to speak of.
The players drawn from each team did not show any tacit tactical coordination, as if they could not form a whole at all. Imagine if you picked one of the 20 teams in the CBA league to play against Mongolia, perhaps the game effect and tactical experience would be better. It's not because the time is too short that the run-in is insufficient, think about Qiao Dashuai has been coaching for more than a year, right? It's not because we played well, it's because our opponents were too weak. Despite the joy of winning, we haven't seen any positive changes.
Our back line is really worrying, with four defenders playing together, which is lackluster. It's unbelievable that their man-and-ball skills are not even as good as those of Mongolia. If there is no Hu Jinqiu, what kind of predicament will the Chinese team fall into! Hu Jinqiu's efficient offensive rebounding and scoring ability under the basket, as well as Du Runwang's high-bay, unguarded three-point shot, coupled with Abdul Salamu's rebounding protection at the No. 4 position, and Zhu Junlong's blue-collar 3D performance, their respective roles are crucial, and even the key to this game. Although the "Little Prince of Abuse" Yang Hansen has a slightly higher error rate and poor accuracy in mid-to-long range shooting, his winning mentality and willingness to perform, coupled with his ability to push the attack, do bring huge highlights to the team. With a height of 2.18 meters, he showed confidence and relaxation on the field, which is amazing, which is exactly the vigor and vitality that a young player should have.
The Japanese men's basketball team will face off against the Chinese men's basketball team at 13:00 on February 25 in Tokyo. The Japanese team lacked NBA players to join, and the first game against the ** team was extremely poor, and even fell behind the ** team by one point at halftime. Comparing the three-point shooting data of the Chinese and Japanese teams, we only made 19 shots, accounting for 30%, and the shooting rate was only 26%; The Japanese team made 45 three-point shots in last night's game, accounting for 62%, but they frequently hit iron. This is the biggest difference between the two teams. It is worth noting that although both China and Japan won their first matches, the game was embarrassing.
When the two teams were facing each other, we were not only at a disadvantage at the back, but also at the centre. If Japan decide to field Harrelson and Hawkinson as a naturalized center, our inside advantage will be greatly diminished and the battle for offensive rebounds will increase dramatically. In this case, we may not be able to easily gain an advantage on the inside line. For outside defense, we have to limit the penetration, breakout, and projection led by players like Kawamura and Yuki Tomiya, as that will directly determine the outcome of the game. With such a challenge, our back line will need to show a better performance than this game quickly to hopefully change the course of the game.
In the forward line, if you want to break the deadlock, you may need to rely on the performance of players such as Abdu, Zhu Junlong and even Du Runwang. Although we still have an advantage in terms of height, it doesn't mean an easy win given Japan's home advantage.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese men's basketball team has a certain psychological advantage. According to the official data provided by FIBA, since 1936, the Chinese men's basketball team has never lost to Japan in Asian competitions at the FIBA level. Even on the most prominent front page of FIBA's official website, there is an article titled "Why Japan is likely to make history and beat China." In the face of such a **, do you have doubts about whether this record will be broken?
