In the midst of criticism, the Chinese men's basketball team also made a big difference in the third game against Puerto Rico. In terms of spirit and work style, there have been many improvements.
However, they lost 89-107 to Puerto Rico and lost by another 18 points. The Chinese team lost all three games in the World Cup and finished at the bottom of the group and missed the round of 16.
They will compete in qualifying against Angola and the Philippines.
Throughout the game, just like in South Sudan, the Chinese team fell behind throughout the game, kept catching up, but never overtaken.
In this process, we see what is powerless, although Zhao Jiwei broke out, although Zhao Rui continued to have a fiery feel and state, but every time the Chinese team got up, the Puerto Rican team responded with accurate shooting. Seeing the tricks and dismantling moves defused the crazy chasing of points by the Chinese team.
After watching the entire game, I clearly felt that the fundamental reason for the failure of the Chinese men's basketball team was not a mental factor, but a skill inferior, but ability, whether it was projection ability, defense and cooperation.
In this case, no amount of hard work is difficult and useless, as the saying goes, in the face of machine guns, what kind of fists and feet and not afraid of death are in vain, what kind of spear and knife is probably difficult to do.
It is precisely because of the huge gap in strength that the men's basketball players are shrinking. Wait a minute.
The reason why I say this is to clarify the fact that the men's basketball team is not not fighting, not tough, not not not working hard, but being limited by the other party's helplessness, so it shows inaction.
The reason why the men's basketball team collapsed was more because of the huge, generational gap between it and its opponents, rather than some other spirit, style, etc. And this is the root cause of the men's basketball team's weakness.
