Beijing time on August 29, 2023 men's basketball world cup qualifiers Asia region fourth window period, after 4 quarters of competition, the Chinese men's basketball team finally 80-67 victory over Bahrain, won 2 consecutive wins, the qualifying situation is very good, but after winning, there are still many fans are still dissatisfied with the Chinese men's basketball players, in addition to Zhao Jiwei, who scored 0 points and 0 rebounds in 4 shots, the performance of the inner double tower Wang Zhelin and Shen Zijie can also be described as disastrous, they only played for less than 12 minutes in total, A total of 2 points, but received as many as 9 foul data, if it were not for Zhou Qi's all-round performance of cutting 22 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, the final result is really difficult to say, the three major centers at the same time have 2 people play the most soft egg combination in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, they are afraid to completely withdraw from the national team.
Zhou Qi cut down 22 points and 7 rebounds to save the Chinese men's basketball team
As we all know, the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team has been able to dominate the Asian basketball world over the years has always been to rely on the huge advantages of the internal line, starting from Mu Tiezhu in the 80s, and then to Shan Tao in the 90s, and then there is the "Mobile Great Wall" composed of Yao Ming, Battle, wang Zhizhi, and then There is Yi Jianlian carrying the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team, it can be said that we are most worried about the internal line seedlings, after all, with 1.4 billion people, it is still easy for the inside players to dig. However, with the aging of Yi Jianlian, although the current Chinese men's basketball team still has Zhou Qi struggling to support, in addition to him, others really help him too little. This year's Chinese men's basketball team Du Feng recruited 3 centers, according to theory, a position of 3 players is enough, Wang Zhelin is the CBA regular season MVP player, Shen Zijie is also the best defensive player in the CBA last season, a good attack, a good defender, do not expect them to help Zhou Qi carry the Chinese men's basketball team inside line, at least let Zhou Qi rest more should be no problem.
Wang Zhelin couldn't help Zhou Qi too much
However, such a small request is difficult for them to do, Wang Zhelin in the second quarter substitute Zhou Qi on the court, but he is too soft on the defensive end, 3 consecutive times by the opponent to get 3 fouls early, which is also for the second quarter of the Chinese men's basketball team quickly accumulated 5 fouls to lay the groundwork, in addition to the catastrophic performance of the defensive end, the offensive end is also a famous scene that can not be put under the basket, Du Feng saw such a Wang Zhelin, can only let him come down, replaced by the Chinese big bird Shen Zijie. And Shen Zijie also did not help much, especially in an attack, there was a cover foul, resulting in the subsequent three-point shooting of Hu Mingxuan scored invalid, but also disappointed everyone that in the fourth quarter Zhou Qi was obviously tired, Shen Zijie played although he got 2 rebounds, it was another offensive foul, and then the defensive foul also said something to the referee to eat a technical foul, only played 4 minutes and 53 seconds to eat 5 fouls, foul graduation.
Shen Zijie received 5 criminals in 4 minutes
The performance of Wang Zhelin and Shen Zijie is undoubtedly unsatisfactory to all fans, and they are also called the softest internal combination in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team by fans. Wang Zhelin did not show the role of the offensive end, on the contrary, the shortcomings on the defensive end were exposed to the fullest, and the plus-minus of the whole game -8 can reflect his disastrous performance; It is normal that Shen Zijie did not get a chance on the offensive end, but the role of the defensive end was not obvious, especially the 2 offensive fouls showed that he was not in the state. If it weren't for Zhou Qi's 28 minutes and 11 seconds, 8 of 12 shots, 6 of 10 free throws, 22 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, the result of this game is really difficult to say. After all, in the Asian Cup competition a month ago, the Chinese men's basketball team only relied on Gu Quan's quasi-kill 1 point to win the opponent at the last moment, if this game is lost, the World Cup qualification right may be variable, so if you get the right to participate in next year's World Cup, Wang Zhelin and Shen Zijie should not bring it, choosing Yu Jiahao and Yang Hansen obviously helps more, not to mention that they are also younger and more cultivating value.
