News on August 30, in the final game of the just-concluded men's basketball World Cup group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Puerto Rico 89-107, and lost all 3 games to the round of 16. In this game, backup center Wang Zhelin performed badly, only getting 4 points and 5 rebounds, but Qiao Shuai still did not give Hu Jinqiu any chance. At the post-match press conference, head coach Jordjevic remained stubborn when asked if he didn't use Hu Jinqiu.
Wang Zhelin's performance was epic and bad, playing 12 minutes, scoring 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls on 2-of-6 shooting, with a plus-minus of -17.
Hu Jinqiu only got 4 minutes and 25 seconds of playing time, shooting 1 of 1, 1 of 1 free throws, 3 points and 2 assists, plus or minus +4.
In the case that Zhou Qi's physical strength is not enough to support the whole game, Wang Zhelin's state is sluggish, and Qiao Shuai still stubbornly uses him instead of using Daqiu, which is also incomprehensible.
After the game, Chinese coach Jordjevic was interviewed at a press conference. The Chinese reporter asked Qiao Shuai: "In this game, Hu Jinqiu basically sat on the bench, Hu Jinqiu suffered a foul in the first half, but why did he not get a chance to play in the second half of the game?" ”
When talking about why Hu Jinqiu is not used much in this game, Qiao Shuai said: "This is your understanding of the game, according to my understanding of the game, I think Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin need to lead us through that time, our other two big men, Wang Zhelin is more suitable than Hu Jinqiu." Tomorrow is a new game, he still has a chance to play, I hope he will be ready”
Reporters from Serbia's local media said that Jordjevic found a lot of good seedlings when coaching the Serbian men's basketball team, and whether he will also do it in China.
When talking about why Hu Jinqiu was not used much in this game, Qiao Shuai replied to the reporter with some displeasure: "This is your understanding of the game, but (you know the ball better than me?) Based on my understanding of the game, I think Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin need to lead us through that time, and our other two big men, Wang Zhelin is more suitable than Hu Jinqiu. Tomorrow is a new game, he still has a chance to play, I hope he will be ready”
In this regard, netizens have said, "In the fourth quarter, Jorgevich still did not trust Hu Jinqiu enough, and let the king play on the court, and the effect was very bad." Dawang's few balls include free throws, and if they can be hit, they may actually greatly improve the momentum of the Chinese men's basketball team, and vice versa. Old Qiao does trust Zhou Qi and Dawang more, but in fact, sometimes Daqiu has different mobility and on-field roles. ”
"People can't imagine that Wang Zhelin will not enter the empty basket, and it is not expected to change Popovich, our player level is not good is the domestic basketball environment, the overall level of CBA is not good, give Tyronn Lu a junior brother he can't use James."
"Teacher Joe took Qiao Shuai to a height that did not belong to him"
"To be honest, Wang Zhelin is a league MVP, how do others think about it"
"Hu Jinqiu: Coach I want to play basketball"
"I think Djordjevich must have a strong rebellious mentality, and the more people let him use Hu Jinqiu, the less he listened."
