Chinese men's basketball team
A game that leaves people speechless! In the first stage of the Asian Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese men's basketball team 73-76 away. You must know that this is the first time since the 1936 Olympics that the Chinese men's basketball team has lost to the Japanese men's basketball team in FIBA Asian and above competitions since the 1936 Olympics. Once again, it made Chinese fans uncomfortable, but this time it was not the men's football team, but the men's basketball team.
Both teams won a big victory in the first game, among them, the Chinese team defeated Mongolia, and the Japanese team defeated the ** team, which did not have much reference value, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious. As for the focus of the Chinese team and the Japanese team, the Japanese team must want to win, after all, this is their home stadium, and they have also won the Olympic ticket before, and their morale is high. Neither team fielded the strongest lineup.
In the first quarter, both teams each played a wave of offensive mini-climaxes, and the point difference did not widen. In the second quarter, the scene was still relatively seesawing, and after halftime, the two teams played 38-38. In the third quarter, the Japanese team once led to 9 points, and the Chinese team blossomed to chase points. In the fourth quarter, the two teams were still white-hot, and in the final stage, Cheng Shuaipeng forcibly continued his life, but Zhu Junlong missed the three-point draw, and the Chinese team lost.
Except for disappointment or disappointment! The Chinese men's basketball team should really reflect on it.
Of course, the referee in this game blew penalties, which was indeed obviously biased in favor of the Japanese team, but fundamentally speaking, the Chinese team itself did not play well, taking free throws as an example: the Chinese men's basketball team made 13 of 15 free throws in this game, and the Japanese men's basketball team made 21 of 27 free throws. Of course, after the loss, head coach Djordjevic will inevitably be questioned again: Should he be sacked?
