Asian Cup Qualifiers - Hu Jinqiu 23+13, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Japan 73-76. Hu Mingxuan scored 20 points and Abdul Salamu scored 7 points.
In the past 16 games against the Japanese men's basketball team, the Chinese team has not tasted defeat. It should be noted that there are still hole cards, and there are two who played in the United States and have not returned. We have a clear card, and hatred of iron is not steel! Shuanghu (Hu Jinqiu and Hu Mingxuan) actually played well, but unfortunately the shooting rate was poor in the first half of the third quarter. Hu Mingxuan played well normally, and the last mistake should not be. Zhao Jiwei didn't dare to catch the ball later.
In the last two minutes of the game, the Japanese men's basketball team missed three free throws in a row, giving the Chinese team a chance to equalize. Unfortunately, the Chinese players made mistakes in the process of advancing and were counterattacked by Japan to score two points. Subsequently, the Chinese team paused, and at the critical moment, made a three-point shot. Later, there was another foul, and there were only six seconds left in the game. The Japanese player missed the first free throw, and the Chinese team fell behind by three points. The coach arranged tactics and attacked the bottom line, but the ball was not passed, the Japanese players followed too closely, and the ball-holding personnel advanced directly, and the three-point shot did not score, and unfortunately lost.
The game has to continue, and I hope that the Chinese men's basketball team will adjust its state in time, learn from the Chinese women's basketball team, impact the next games, and play with momentum.
