After losing the World Cup battle of the Chinese men's basketball team to Serbia and South Sudan respectively, the Chinese men's basketball team only had theoretical hopes of qualifying, and the final game had to beat Puerto Rico by 35 points to qualify. However, the Chinese team, which averaged only 66 points per game, wanted to win Puerto Rico by 35 points, which is difficult to imagine.
Judging from the first two Chinese men's basketball games, the problems are not ordinary, the attack is not good, the defense is not good, the organization is not good, the defense is not good, the defense strategy is delayed, and the coach has no tactics to deal with it. Pinning hopes on naturalized player Li Kyle obviously does not change the trend of the Chinese men's basketball team.
As mentioned in the previous article, Li Kyle is not a playmaker, his style of play is very slow-paced, and although he has good passing ability, according to his style, he is at most a scorer, and can step up at some point to help the team score. It doesn't take on the task of organizing and connecting the teams. And this foreign coach often let him become a playmaker, but it slowed down the Chinese team's offensive rhythm.
There was a clear statistic in the last game, the Chinese team scored 0 points for fast attack! There were three fast offensive counterattacks, and the ball was in Li Kyle's hands, either too slow to be caught up by the opposing defender, or chose to stop the ball instead of directly killing the basket to attack.
Basketball is a team competitive sport, this year's Chinese men's basketball team on the court to bring the CBA's "fish" style to the court, no fighting spirit, lack of impact on the offense, defense is also very loose, in the case of backwardness, did not see any tearing defense, can still make the opponent easily shoot three points or hit the inside.
More importantly, the Chinese team lacks team awareness, and there are almost no other tactical arrangements on the field other than simple ineffective blocking. Players don't even have some no-ball blocking opportunities on the court, and the Chinese team has no shortage of pitchers, with Zhao Rui, Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin, Zhao Jiwei and Hu Mingxuan all having good three-point performances. In the first game, Zhang Zhenlin made two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, feeling hot, but did not get many shots after that. In the second game, Zhao Rui made 3 of 4 from three-point range and Zhao Jiwei made 2 of 3 from three-pointer, both of which performed well.
In the final game against Puerto Rico, the Chinese team is bound to go in the direction of a big victory, so the defensive end must change. Compared with South Sudan, Puerto Rico is stronger, a number of players have a three-point projection level, Pineno, Howard, Thompson, Ford and Waters and others are very strong three-point ability, think about the last game made South Sudan shoot 15 three-pointers, how should the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team respond to this game?
The Chinese team is more advantageous that Zhou Qi and Li Kaier are still the strong points of the Chinese team and can help the team open up the situation, but how to use them as a breakthrough and further drive the team's attack depends largely on coach Jordjevic.
In fact, from the third quarter of the first game against Serbia and the second quarter of the game against South Sudan, during the period when Zhou Qi and Li Kaier were not present, the Chinese team had some good performances, but played some team basketball performances.
When Zhou Qi is on the field, he should cooperate more with his teammates, and only when the inside line has an advantage can he create opportunities for other teammates. Judging from the organizational ability and explosive ability of the Chinese men's basketball team's current outside players, it is obviously very difficult to find a breakthrough from the outside. Therefore, in terms of tactical significance, Zhou Qi is more critical than Li Kaier. If Giorgević can also let Li Keldo ask for the ball in the low post, instead of letting him break through with the ball at the top of the arc, then the Chinese men's basketball team will be more relaxed on the court.
With the current state of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is difficult to win a victory, let alone win by 35 points. But dreams still have to be, what if they come true! Come on, Chinese men's basketball! Come on, Team China!
