Zhao Rui took the initiative to respond to the controversy after the game, and the two details will help him conquer the foreign coach and sit firmly as the main point guard of the national team!
The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Bahrain men's basketball team again 80-67, although the process of the game was a bit tortuous, but from the results, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team is still worthy of recognition, winning 8 of the 10 World Preliminary Rounds, as long as they lost two games against the world-class team Australia!
The victory of these two games can be said to be inseparable from Wang Zhelin's efficient performance and Zhou Peng's amazing performance, but at the same time, it is also inseparable from the heroic performance of the main defender Zhao Rui!
In the final moments of the game against the Bahrain team, Zhao Rui shot a long-range three-point shot when the victory was decided, and this goal also caused strong dissatisfaction from the Bahrain men's basketball team, and even wanted to rush over to find Zhao Rui for a reason!
After the game, Zhao Rui also explained this shot in time, saying that the World Cup has points, and the more you win, the better it is for the ranking and grouping, and there was a similar situation when Canada and Greece played before! It can be seen that even at the end of the game, Zhao Rui's mind is still very calm, and everything he does is for the Chinese men's basketball team to have a better group in the World Cup!
In these two games, due to the absence of Allen Guo and Sun Minghui, Zhao Rui became the first choice on the guard line, and Zhao Rui also lived up to expectations to help the Chinese team win two consecutive victories, at the same time, the two details of these two games fully prove that even if Sun Minghui and Guo Allen return in the future, or even replace Du Feng, Zhao Rui is still the first choice on the guard line of the national team!
First of all, the first point is in terms of tandem teams, facing Iran, Zhao Rui played 31 minutes and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, facing Bahrain, Zhao Rui scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, scored double-doubles in two games and gave 16 assists, while the Chinese men's basketball team only had 39 assists in two games, and Zhao Rui alone on the guard line had more assists than others combined!
In fact, in the past, Zhao Rui was known for his physical strength, and he could withstand the opponent's tough defense to complete the score on the inside line on the offensive end, and in the defensive end, due to the advantage of height and weight, he was the first choice to defend the opponent's arrow figure, but in these two games, Zhao Rui once again proved that he can not only attack and defend, but also organize attacks, and can use his sharp breakthrough and broad passing vision to lead the team!
The second point is the control of emotions, in the last window game, Zhao Rui was expelled because he could not control his emotions on the field, including in the league, Zhao Rui has been expelled or affected his performance more than once for similar reasons!
But this time Zhao Rui has obviously improved, in the match with the Iranian team, the other party took the initiative to step forward to provoke Zhao Rui after completing the block, the purpose was to provoke him, but Zhao Rui directly chose to ignore the other party, so that the other party's provocation ended in embarrassment!
These two details can be said to be the weakest point of Zhao Rui before, and now they have been improved, I believe that Zhao Rui will continue to make progress in future matches, and will soon become the face of the national team defender!
