On the evening of October 4, in the semifinals of the men's basketball team of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team suddenly lost power in the last quarter, and suffered a 76-77 reversal of the Philippine men's basketball team and missed the final of the Asian Games.

In the battle of the right name, the opponent shows weakness
In the men's basketball World Cup 32 days ago, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Philippines 75-96, ending the World Cup journey with a record of 1 win and 4 losses. The 21-point defeat to the Philippines also became a footnote for the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup.
"We just give it our all and try to have no regrets." Before this game against the Philippine men's basketball team, Zhao Jiwei showed the team's attitude.
Although the team's answers did not mention much information about the opponent, Zhao Jiwei and Hu Mingxuan walked on the court an hour and a half early to warm up, which is enough to see the special meaning of this game for the Chinese men's basketball team.
'It's going to be a tough game for us, we met in the World Cup, they played very well in the third quarter, we have to put pressure on the defence. After a victory over South Korea the day before, coach Jordjevic looked ahead to a showdown with the Philippines.
Jordjevic coaches Zhao Jiwei on the sidelines.
But compared to the World Cup, the Philippines sent their second team at the Asian Games - not only Clarkson did not play, but even the players who participated in the men's basketball world a month ago were only four players: Fajardo, Jemar Perez, Earl Scotty Thompson and Japeth Aguilar.
Even former Philippine coach Reyes announced his resignation after the World Cup tour, and the new Philippine men's basketball coach Earl Timothy had less than a month to prepare for the Asian Games.
Therefore, before the match against the Chinese men's basketball team, Earl Timothy has already begun to show weakness: "After the men's basketball World Cup defeated the Chinese team, the coaching staff joked that no matter which coach leads the team to meet the Chinese men's basketball team again in the Asian competition, there will be many challenges." In the end, I became the manager who led the Philippines team to meet the Chinese team again. ”
"The Chinese men's basketball team is sitting at home and is strong, we are not the same team compared to the World Cup, and it is very difficult to beat the Chinese men's basketball team this time."
Hu Mingxuan broke through in the game.
The battle for revenge, the fourth quarter suddenly loses power

In the quarterfinals against South Korea, the Chinese men's basketball team led by more than 20 points most of the time and eventually won the game 84-70.
After reaching the semi-finals, Djordjevic said of the players: "As a coach, I can clearly feel that from the first day of this competition, the efforts and focus of the young players have not compromised in the slightest. ”

In the men's basketball World Cup, Clarkson hit five three-pointers in the third quarter of the China-Philippines battle, scoring 24 points in a single quarter, and a wave of flow took away the victory.

Throughout the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team had only five turnovers, but completed seven steals, leading the opponent 17-3 on the fast break and 15-4 on the turnover.
In the second half, the Philippine men's basketball team replaced Fajardo and used Angelo Kwame, who was more mobile, as the inside, and the Philippine men's basketball team hit consecutive shots after speeding up, playing a score of 20-14 in a single quarter to chase the score to 50-62.
In the fourth quarter, the Philippines hit consecutive three-pointers, at one point bringing the gap closer to two points. Then Zhao Jiwei missed two free throws, and the Philippines hit three points again, surpassing the Chinese men's basketball team by 1 point!
