No one expected that Zhao Rui would be the last fig leaf of the men's basketball team.
The Chinese men's basketball team lost 18 points to Puerto Rico, suffered three consecutive defeats, and missed the round of 16 of the World Cup. After the game, the morale of the Chinese men's basketball team was very low, and Zhao Rui, who performed well, said in an interview after the game that he was not willing at all, and he still wanted to play in the Olympic Games, even if it was a game.
When Zhao Rui said this, his eyes turned red, participating in the Olympics is Zhao Rui's wish, and this wish was said and promised by him with tears, which can be described as tearful words, which makes people look very distressed.
In the three group games of this World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team played a mess. Before the game, we all felt that the Chinese men's basketball team might not be able to qualify, maybe it would not win three games, but it was a miserable defeat every game, and this kind of loss really could not be accepted by anyone.
In the past, the Chinese men's basketball team played external battles, the inside line is our biggest advantage, from the three mobile Great Walls led by Yao Ming, to the later Yi Jianlian single-core team, although the Chinese men's basketball team won more and lost less in the World Series, it has never been so humiliating out, losing 80 points in three games, which is too humiliating.
Even if it was the World Cup four years ago, even if Li Nan led the team, the Chinese men's basketball team against Poland was also defeated because of a service error, against a muscle group like Nigeria, our UAE League can also fight in and out, although it is a loss, but there is always hope.
But after this World Cup, we have a kind of despair, we and the world basketball level gap is getting bigger and bigger, we are regressing, others are running at full strength, even the Japanese men's basketball team that we looked down on back then is moving at a turtle speed, although it is turtle speed, but people are also moving forward. Also, don't laugh at Lebanon, which lost 100 points in three games, people beat France to lead in the first three quarters, really play with us, not necessarily what, how did last year's Asian Cup lose? Forgot?
In three games, our inside line was completely exploded, if we play Serbia and South Sudan, our inside players are not talented, even if the whole team in Puerto Rico is short, their interior core Romero is only 2.03 meters, just reaching the average height of the Chinese men's basketball team. Our whole team is a head taller than them, and in such a physical comparison, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin, two centers with a height of more than 2 meters and 10 meters, combined to grab 10 rebounds, Romero alone grabbed 10. The score is miserable, and the mistake is even more spicy to the eye.
Not to mention our internal superiority, even basic offense and defense are problematic. Free throws are not stained, empty baskets under the basket do not score, it is really not our fans hypocritical, scold players as soon as they lose, such players, such performance, if they are used to it, can the Chinese men's basketball team still have hope?
In previous games, the Chinese men's basketball team dragged the inside backwards from the outside, especially after the retiring of sharpshooters such as Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng, as well as talented guards such as Sun Yue and Chen Jianghua, the backcourt of the Chinese men's basketball team has been green and yellow, and it is impossible to shoot if there is a vacancy, and it is difficult to dribble through the half, making people look anxious to get on fire.
In this World Cup, under the background of the disastrous performance of the inner line, the outside line of the Chinese team has become a beautiful landscape. Especially Zhao Rui, the performance is very good, 17 points against Serbia, 13 points against South Sudan, 16 points against Puerto Rico, please note that the 16 points against Puerto Rico were obtained by Zhao Rui due to foul troubles and limited playing time, and if Zhao Rui controlled the foul, the score would set a new high.
In the 3 group games, Zhao Rui averaged 15 points per game, becoming the scoring champion of the Chinese men's basketball team, which is the only point where the Chinese men's basketball team has not been exploded in this World Cup. It's surprising and pleasantly surprised. Zhao Rui showed the fans in the game not only to score, but also his courage to frequently use his body to enter the opponent's penalty area to score, and the courage and confidence to dare to hit the three-point shot.
These are difficult to see in the guard line of the Chinese men's basketball team in recent years. This can't help but think of Allen Guo, who was not selected, if Allen is there, he partners Zhao Rui, such a Chinese men's basketball backcourt combination, dare not say to win Serbia, at least with South Sudan and Puerto Rico, can fight.
Some people don't like Zhao Rui and think that he has a hot personality, but in this World Cup, Zhao Rui obviously feels a lot more mature, and in the face of many controversial penalties, Zhao Rui did not get angry, but turned these emotions into strength and put them into attack. This is Zhao Rui's biggest change, a mature Zhao Rui is terrifying and rare.
#Hundred Schools Viewing Team #He is the only highlight in the Chinese men's basketball World Cup, and from him, we can still see that there is still a glimmer of hope for the Chinese men's basketball team.
It's just that looking at it now, Guangdong is a bit of a loss by replacing Zhao Rui for Zhou Qi?
What do you think, friends?
