At 8 p.m. Beijing time on August 30, the third game of the Chinese team in Group B of the Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Puerto Rico by 18 points, and lost three consecutive games in the group stage. Next up will be qualifying for one of Asia's best performances to advance to the Paris Olympics. However, judging from the trend of three consecutive defeats in this group stage, it is not an easy task for the Chinese men's basketball team to beat the Philippines and Angola in the qualifying round. Throughout the match, defined by player ratings, 3 performed well, 5 passed, and the other 3 failed.
First, three men are good, and the back three are outstanding
Zhao Jiwei: After coming off the bench, the layup actually did not score. There is no offensive threat, only hard passes, resulting in consecutive clipping mistakes on the receiver side. After shooting a three-point shot, he made a mistake directly when switching offense with the ball, and scored directly after being tackled by his opponent [covering his face]. In the second quarter, he finally made two consecutive three-pointers, and these two goals were very morale-boosting. He made a three-point shot before the end of the third quarter and shot beautifully. But it's a pity that Zhao's job as an organizational defender is unqualified, and the whole team's organizational tandem is very chaotic, otherwise his home game can be rated as excellent. In the whole game, Zhao Jiwei shot 5 of 12, scoring 14 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists
Zhao Rui: The starter, he strengthened his breakthrough in the first quarter, and made 5 of 6 free throws to stabilize the position for the Chinese team. The attack was decisive in the second quarter, breaking through the inside line to continue to make fouls, making 2 of 2 free throws. Then directly shot three points, hit directly, hit too hard [like]. A difficult 2+1 hit at the end of the second quarter helped the Chinese team narrow the score to 4 points. In the third and fourth quarters, Zhao Rui broke through the inside and scored well, but the cooperation with his teammates still needs to be improved. In the whole game, Zhao Rui scored 16 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, performed well, and was the only trusted member of the Chinese team in this game.
Zhao Rui was as desperate as ever
Hu Mingxuan: 2 mistakes directly after starting the game. Multiple open shots missed. But with 2 assists, defense and jump shots in the third quarter, he slowly recovered his form and saved some face. Hitting two three-pointers at the end of the fourth quarter helped the Chinese team narrow the gap to less than 20 points. In the whole game, Hu Mingxuan shot 4 of 9, scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, which was much better than the previous two games.
Xiao Hu's series and projection of the field have improved
2. 5 passes
Zhou Peng: Starter, good defensive performance, very hard. A crucial 3-pointer hit in the third quarter helped China chase the score to 13. In the whole game, Zhou Peng shot 2 of 3, scored 5 points and 1 rebound, and his performance met expectations.
Zhou Qi: The starter, the attack and aggression are too weak. Played not resolutely enough, defensively OK. The third quarter came up and finally played one on the inside, but the whole game looked at it, there were not many shooting opportunities, the desire to attack was not strong, the inside singles repeatedly shot opportunities but they couldn't get up, they didn't dare to gouge in, either made mistakes or passed out, and only had a slight presence when blocking. He shot 3 of 5 from the field, scoring 8 points, 5 boards, 4 assists and 2 blocks.
Hu Jinqiu: It was not easy to substitute Zhou Qi in the first quarter. After coming up, I played very tough, and directly came to an inside 2+1 score, beautiful! But unfortunately, Hu Jinqiu only got 3 minutes of playing time, 3 points and 2 assists. Why only 3 minutes of playing time???
Fu Hao: Came off the bench for 1 minute at the end of the second quarter and scored on the basket. In the third quarter, there was a ball that wanted to be forced, but he missed the ball; Then I scored 3 points, which was very morale-boosting. In the limited time of the bench, he shot 5-of-9, 11 points and 4 rebounds, playing at a good level.
Li Kyle: After playing in the first quarter, he missed two free throws, and NBA players were finally infected by the low level of 60% of the Chinese team's free throws. The attention to grabbing the rebound was not enough, and the ball in his hand was actually directly taken away by the opponent. The active aggression is not enough, and after the inside line gets the ball, he is actually blocked by the opponent, he is too hesitant to play, has no desire to shoot, and his state is not hi at all. In the second quarter, he finally broke through the inside and dunked to score his first two points of the first half. In the third quarter, China scored 2+1 for two fouls on the inside. In the whole game, he shot 4 of 5, cut 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and the performance returned to a flat level.
This dunk 2+1 is one of the few highlights of Li Kyle's game
Third, 3 people did not meet the standard
Zhang Zhenlin: Starter, came up in the first quarter to shoot a three-pointer. Zhang Gongzi's strength is definitely overestimated, and his performance in this World Cup can be seen. The desire to attack is not strong, the shooting front sight is too poor, and this game faces the muscle group confrontation of Puerto Rico, obviously afraid to break through or shoot. Only 3 points were on 1-of-3 shooting, and all other statistics were 0. That is, he saw his only 3-point shot in the first half.
Wang Zhelin: After coming off the bench in the second quarter, the inside line was directly covered by the opponent. The only time in the first half was an inside layup that saved a little face. In the third quarter, Zhao Rui assisted, and the inside line dunked another one. There was a ball that could be 2+1 in the fourth quarter, but the inside line of the king was still too soft, and he missed two free throws [laughing and crying]. In addition, the old problem of the king attacking and adding arms has never been handled well, and the intensity of the confrontation in the World Series will be stopped. 2-of-6 shooting, 4 points and 5 boards.
Choi Yonghee: After coming off the bench in the first quarter, he made a direct return error, and scored 4 points and 1 assist on 1-of-1 shooting in the game, basically stealth.
In addition, only 1 person in this game, Zhu Junlong, did not get playing time, so he will not be evaluated.
Head coach Jorkovic: Failed. The timing and arrangement of starters and substitutes is confusing. Knowing that the height and strength of the Chinese team's interior line have obvious advantages compared with Puerto Rico, it is not to play double height and focus on chiseling the inside line. In the use of Hu Jinqiu, it does not look like a high-level arrangement of a professional coach; Wang Zhelin is so soft, why has he played on the field for so long. Puerto Rico made 16 three-pointers from the outside, and our players couldn't PK at all, really using their own shortcomings to fight each other's strengths, making a serious strategic mistake. Although the guard line has improved, it is far from enough, and the problems of organization, mistakes, and tandem are still very serious. In addition, the whole substitution is also quite problematic, I don't know how to say it.
The stubborn and inflexible old Joe really regards the Chinese team as a European powerhouse?
It must be noted that it is not South Sudan and Puerto Rico that are strong, but the Chinese men's basketball team itself is too weak. Passing basics, speed, physical confrontation, low shooting and free throw percentage, etc. are weak. The Chinese team's internal advantage was not well utilized, and it was also an important factor in the loss. Fighting with Puerto Rico was clearly an ill-advised decision.
The loss of this match means that the Chinese team has been eliminated early in the group stage. 接下来16个小时之后、在明天下午4点的排位赛，将对阵安哥拉。
In order to compete for the best record of the Asian team and win the ticket to the Paris Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team, come on!
