On October 4, Beijing time, the men's basketball competition of the Hangzhou Asian Games has come to an end, and the Chinese men's basketball team has successfully reached the final four, and will face the Philippines in the semifinals. This opponent is also very familiar, in the men's basketball World Cup that ended not long ago, we lost miserably in the qualifying match, and this matchup became a battle of revenge. Although we have many fewer players, including Clarkson, our goal has not changed, which is to beat the opponent.
After losing the men's basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team also entered a trough and missed two consecutive Olympic Games. In this Asian Games, we have no way back, only winning the championship can restore the confidence of the players. In the previous games, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team was still remarkable, except for some nervousness in the first game, there was a stable performance after that, and the three-point shooting also improved significantly.
In the 1/4 final, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the old rival South Korea, occupying the initiative on the court early, and took a 20-point lead in the half of the inside and outside, but unfortunately the second half was slack, unable to further open the point difference, and finally won 14 points. The Chinese men's basketball team successfully reached the final four, and in the semifinals welcomed an old opponent, the Philippines, the two teams just met in the World Cup, we lost miserably, this time it became a good opportunity for revenge. For this match, CCTV5 also chose to broadcast it live, which can be witnessed by more fans.
In the other quarterfinal, the Philippines narrowly beat Iran by one point, in which naturalized player Justin Brownlee played well, 12-of-21, 5-of-7 from three-point range, 36 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. The quality of Brownlee's play will determine the direction of the Philippines, and we also need to pay attention to tightening the restrictions on him. Judging from the Philippines' previous performance, we still have a good chance of winning the game, and we are expected to win a big victory and advance to the final.
After the win over South Korea, coach Jordjevic also spoke about the Philippines as an opponent, praising his opponent's performance, "Although they are missing Clarkson this time, the Philippines is a very experienced team. "It is still necessary to remind the team that there can be no slackness, we don't have that absolute strength now, we need to win step by step. This semi-final will be played at 20 o'clock, when CCTV5 will broadcast live.
