good opportunity, favorable geographical location and support from the people
I missed one opportunity after another.
China Men's Basketball Team is the host of the 20 19 Basketball World Cup. Under the background of FIBA's great reform of world basketball events, when other teams are tired of dealing with intensive preliminaries, the China men's basketball team takes exercise at ease, and the red and blue teams take turns to participate in the preliminaries, the Asian Cup and the Asian Games, which makes some outstanding young players emerge quickly. Winning the Asian Games last year made the outside world full of confidence in the world cup prospects of China men's basketball team.
In March this year, the group opponents of China Men's Basketball Team were released, C? te d 'Ivoire, Poland and Venezuela, which was almost the best group that the host could get. China men's basketball team has enough confidence to shout out before the game that the minimum goal is Olympic qualification and strive to reach the top 8 of the World Cup.
The victory over C? te d 'Ivoire in the first game once made the China men's basketball team the Asian team with the best chance to qualify for the Olympic Games. However, after that, the China team made a series of mistakes, and lost to the Polish team in overtime due to continuous low-level mistakes. In the face of the Venezuelan team, it was "kicked 7 inches" by the opponent, and it lost this life-and-death battle.
"Everyone is eager to win this game, but it reflects that the mentality on the field is too anxious, and the performance in the first half is too different." Together with the Venezuelan team, Fang Shuo scored the highest score of 65,438+03. After the game, he said: "It's a pity to lose the game, but I have no time to regret it for the time being." Then there is the competition. We should try our best to maintain the best results we can achieve. "
The internal advantage disappeared.
The rebound in the last game was completely exploded.
In the past, whenever China men's basketball team was mentioned, the absolute inside height was the first thing that people thought of. In a series of warm-up matches before the World Cup, Yi Jianlian, qi zhou and Wang Zhelin are still the pillars of the team. Even in the face of Brazil, the world's traditional basketball power, the China men's basketball team has not played less.
However, when the World Cup officially started, opponents in the three group matches frequently mentioned China's inside height and deterrence, which was a kind of respect. From another point of view, they also made an in-depth study of China's style of play and made full preparations in combination with their own characteristics.
The Polish team did not have two inside experts, Gortat and Lampe, but they still played against China's inside with the combination of Gryka Nuuk and Bar Cselovszky. Venezuela is one of the teams with the shortest average height in this World Cup. They won 2 1 rebound against China.
At the press conference after the game, the rebound gap between China and Venezuela was repeatedly mentioned. Opponents lead 49-28, especially in the frontcourt, and Venezuela leads 20-/kloc-0-0. In Li Nan's view, the problem lies in many aspects. "After the opponent shot, our response was not fast enough and our vigilance was not high enough. In addition, our opponents take off many times in a row, so we are not dominant in confrontation. We talked a lot before the game, but it was good and bad in practice. "
Two key players are absent.
The problem of weakness is completely exposed.
One is the MVP of the regular season, and the other is the captain of the China men's basketball team for many years. Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Peng are the absolute main force of the team. In the past few games, the coaching staff often relied on these two "sharp knives". However, the former's knee injury and the latter's foot injury near the competition put the coaching staff in a dilemma and buried the hidden danger of "weakness before".
Undeniably, as the main striker of the China men's basketball team at present, Zhai Xiaochuan played extremely hard even though he was injured, especially when he defeated the Ivory Coast team in the first game, Zhai Xiaochuan contributed a lot. However, in the position of striker, the coaching staff did not give Abdul Salamu and Koran White too many opportunities, but instead made China's original dominant position a weakness.
The five defenders are controversial.
The gap with the top teams is too obvious
Sun Minghui got on the last bus of the 12 list. At that time, some media predicted that the configuration of the five guards might surprise the China men's basketball team. The reality is that in front of the world's top defenders, no matter how many guards rotate, the team's advantage in the backcourt cannot be guaranteed.
Slaughter, the former naturalized defender, and Riente, the latter, played against Poland and Venezuela successively, which taught China's defender a good lesson. Fang Shuo said that several defenders of the China team also have their own characteristics. Some are good at organizing, some have strong breakthrough ability, and some are good at shooting. "In the team, we are always looking for ways to be more team-oriented. Playing against the top defenders of the world's top teams is also a learning process, and we really have a long way to go. "
Li Nan also admitted that there is a big gap between China's defenders and their opponents. "In addition to height, players need to improve their physical fitness. We do have a gap in speed, strength and confrontation. Everyone has been trying to change the status quo, but they can't make up the gap. "
In addition to the realistic gap between players, the formation of the coaching staff is also controversial. Although Guo, Zhao Jiwei, all had wonderful performances in individual competitions or for a certain period of time, the frequent rotation also affected the team's tactics to some extent, and the performance outside the three-point line fluctuated, which eventually led to the embarrassing situation of the China team.
