The final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 77-87, facing the East Sunshine team, Liaoning team could not withstand the opponent's attack, and finally lost unfortunately, losing 1-2.
This game, the reason for the loss, undoubtedly has a lot to do with the absence of Allen Guo, Asia's No. 1 point guard. But there is also a personal performance, in fact, it can only be said that it is very general, he is Zhao Jiwei.
As a world-class guard, last season's finals MVP Mr. Zhao Jiwei, although he scored 11 points and 10 assists in this game, in fact, in the crucial fourth quarter, Zhao Jiwei did not score a point, only gave 2 assists, it was his dumb fire that brought the team's offense to a standstill.
Of course, many people may not recognize, in this game, Zhao Jiwei played 45 minutes, shooting 4 of 10 and 3 of 8 3-pointers. Perhaps, in the fourth quarter, he lost his strength. But compared to the opposite Sun Minghui, his performance is undoubtedly not enough, in this game, Sun Minghui scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, completely controlling the game.
As we all know, Zhao Jiwei is the starting guard of the national team, and is placed on high hopes by NBA legend Yao Ming, you know, Yao Ming hopes to use Zhao Jiwei as the core guard, NBA player Zhou Qi as the core of the inside, Cui Yongxi, Zhang Zhenlin and others as role players, plus the newly naturalized Li Kyle to impact the Olympics together.
But now, Zhao Jiwei does have some shortcomings, his organizational ability is very good, but the offensive end is still not stable enough, especially after leaving Guo Allen, he has no dominance.
For Yao Ming, if the men's basketball team wants to impact the Olympics, it must have world-class guards, and Zhao Jiwei's current strength is undoubtedly still some gap with the world-class.
Of course, locally, Zhao Jiwei is still the strongest guard, and we hope that he can adjust as soon as possible, overcome his shortcomings, and strive to become a world-class guard and lead the Chinese men's basketball team to the Olympic Games.
