Entered the top four of the Olympic qualifiers. Regardless of the results, the performance of the Chinese team has brought great pride and pride to the Chinese people.
This battle against Angola can be described as a tough battle. Although Angola is strong as an African champion, the Chinese team is not weak. After all, they are the number one team in the Asian zone and have a team that cannot be underestimated. The competition on the pitch is fierce and tough, and every player gives it their all, unwilling to give their opponents the slightest chance.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team showed strong attacking power. The players quickly got into shape, working closely together and shooting accurately. Angola, on the other hand, showed the characteristics of African teams, showing strong physical confrontation and speed advantage. Whether they are offensive or defensive, they have created a lot of trouble for the Chinese team by virtue of their physical advantages.
In the first half of the game, the Chinese team was slightly passive. They did not find good rhythm and cooperation on the offensive end, and the defensive end also suffered from the fierce impact of the opponent. Angola took advantage of the situation to pull the score apart, leaving the Chinese team in a difficult situation. The Chinese team did not give up, and they gradually found a solution to the problem.
In the second half of the game, the Chinese team implemented a series of changes to strengthen the ability to attack on the inside, while laying out defensive tactics more closely. The players showed strong fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and they used their tenacious willpower to fight steadily and steadily, resisting the onslaught of the Angolan team. They remained calm in pinching moments and played to their strengths at critical moments.
In the end, China defeated Angola from Africa 83:76 and won a valuable victory. This victory not only provided confidence and motivation for the Chinese team, but also gave the Chinese people more expectations and hopes. The Chinese team's road to the Olympics is still bumpy and difficult, but at least they have a theoretical chance to fight for it. In addition to continuing the hope of entering the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team has at least three good news to celebrate.
First, the Chinese team played better than the group stage in terms of momentum, and more imposing than the previous three group games. Although the Chinese team was ten points behind their opponents in this game, the players still wanted to win and fight for breath. This is a very critical point.
Second, Jordjevic finally changed his stubborn thinking on the use of people and no longer stuck to the two interior players Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi. In previous games, the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team was always undisputed. Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi, as interior players, are almost regulars in the starting lineup. Today, things have changed dramatically. Not only players like Fu Hao entered the starting lineup, but even players with poor form like Hu Jinqiu got a chance.
The shift was not unexpected. After all, even players who are in poor form are part of the team and deserve a certain opportunity. And in today's game, Hu Jinqiu is a living example. On the pitch, he showed an excellent play that perfectly matched Giordjevic's tactics. Such changes have made the Chinese men's basketball team more dynamic and won them more opportunities in the game.
Third, the next match against the Philippines is very important for the Chinese men's basketball team. This competition is not just about qualifying, but about whether we can keep our hopes of entering the Olympics. The Chinese team played qualifying first, which gave us favorable conditions for physical reserve. Compared to the four hours late start of the Philippine game, these four extra rest periods are very important for our fitness reserve. After the previous game, we have more time to recover and adjust to make sure we are in the best shape for the next game.
It's not enough to win this game, we also need to win the match against the Philippines to have a chance to keep our hopes of reaching the Olympics. This match is not only a battle for victory and defeat, but also a battle for places. Only by winning the battle against the Philippines can we qualify for the Olympic Games and continue the glory of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic arena.
Although this is only a qualifying match and we are facing a weaker team, we have to see that the level of the Chinese team is already such that for the top 16 teams, there is really no chance of the group stage. Now let's get into qualifying and get to the Olympics. Even if you go to the Olympics and lose people, at least there are a few opportunities to play against the world's best teams, which is an opportunity that we need very much now.
