On July 17, Beijing time, in the second warm-up match between the just-concluded men's basketball team and the previous Olympic runner-up Croatia, the Chinese men's basketball team lost the game again. Although this has something to do with Zhou Qi's withdrawal due to injury, in addition to the state of the men's basketball team in the first quarter, the second three quarters of the game often have a collective "power outage" situation, directly suppressed by Croatia, such a result is indeed difficult for Chinese fans to accept.
In the first round of warm-up games, the three guards staged the embarrassment of collective hanging zero, Fang Shuo played 15 minutes, shot 0 of 6, Sun Minghui played 13 minutes, only got 4 shots, the same zero points scored, Hu Mingxuan played a little shorter, a shot did not score. I thought that after a game of adaptation, the form of the back line could return, and it was obvious that the fans thought too much.
The lineup of the backline for the rematch was Zhao Jiwei, He Xining, Fang Shuo, Cheng Shuaipeng, Cui Yongxi and Zhao Rui, and the six of them got a total of 18 shots, but embarrassingly, only Choi Yongxi scored four points, and the other five defenders hung up again.
It is worth noting that in this game, the old captain Zhou Peng actually achieved a violent walk, shooting 6 of 9 in the game, and got a total of 13+4 data, which is not easy for Zhou Peng. It can be seen that although Zhou Peng's age does not dominate, Zhou Peng is a player who plays with his "brain", and his rich court experience is still the top existence of the men's basketball team.
In addition to the old captain Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin's performance is also remarkable, cutting 20 points in the game to win a single MVP, whether it is offensive or defensive performance is very balanced, it can be seen that Zhang Zhenlin's special training in the United States has indeed played a great role. At present, Zhang Zhenlin can be regarded as the absolute core of the men's basketball team.
Although Zhou Qi was accidentally injured in the game, before that, Zhou Qi performed well and scored 13 points. It can be seen that even if Zhou Qi has not had a regular game for a long time, his state is still full. The only thing that worries fans is Zhou Qi's physical state, suddenly to deal with such a high-intensity game, which puts forward high requirements for Zhou Qi's body.
