On February 25, Beijing time, the Asia-Pacific World Preliminary Tournament continued to start, Chinese Taipei defeated Australia 61-98, naturalized player Artino scored 14 points and 8 rebounds in his debut, Zhou Yixiang, who had just announced his farewell to the CBA, scored 4 points, CBA draft Lin Bingsheng scored 12 points and 3 assists, former CBA Xinjiang youth player Bai Yaocheng scored 8 points, and Zhou Guiyu scored 11 points and 4 assists.
From the level of comprehensive strength, the gap between the Taipei men's basketball team is too obvious, many college players even have extremely difficulty in holding the ball normally through half, in the face of Australia's oppressive defense, there are too many non-technical mistakes, and, in terms of confrontation, termination efficiency, shooting percentage, rebounding, even if it is the Taipei men's basketball team plus naturalized player Artino, the overall gap is still visible to the naked eye, not to mention, other college players, want to achieve the possibility of creating advantages, it is almost impossible.
Among The local players in Taipei, Zhou Yixiang, who was once pushed by fiba to play in the poster, is about to return to Taipei after he ended his contract with Beijing Shougang Club in the CBA League. Representing Taipei this time is to some extent an important battle for self-proof value, but the whole game only scored 4 points, from physical confrontation to ball-holding offense, offensive and defensive conversion, completely without the style of a home star, and even poor lateral movement, becoming a key breakthrough in Australia, it is clear that he is not a Taipei player who has the ability to be independent.
As for the interview before the departure of foreign coach Parker, he said: The speech of confidence in leading the Taipei men's basketball team to win 3 consecutive wins is probably a very heavy blow to the face. In the case of being completely suspended in all aspects, there is also a menacing Japanese men's basketball team, which also has a number of naturalized players, Parker wants to win the game, and this group of Taipei men's basketball players needs to play at a super level.
From the situation of the entire group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team have the opportunity to advance, the advantage is extremely obvious, and the competition for the third place in the group stage, if Taipei is the main force to play, let the P League and a number of CBA players play, may have the capital to compete with the Japanese men's basketball team, but this group of college players is the main framework, reduced to a fish belly team, it is inevitable.
