Super upset, 1-2! On the night of shame for the national football team, 3 people were dyed red, and they were reversed by the 150th in the world!
The 2024 Asian Cup is about to start, and the Chinese men's football team has held its final training camp and warm-up match in the United Arab Emirates. Their third opponent was Hong Kong, ranked 150 in the world, and it was a seemingly easy match, but something shocking happened. The Chinese men's football team was sent off three times in a row while leading, and finally lost 1-2 to Hong Kong, China, which was an incredible reversal and a game that disappointed the national football team and fans. This article will analyze this painful defeat from three aspects: the process, causes and effects of the game.
The process of the competition
After the start of the game, the Chinese men's football team showed a strong offensive, in the 9th minute, Wu Lei received a pass from the opponent in the middle, the shot was saved, Tan Long followed up with a supplementary shot, broke the deadlock, and took a 1-0 lead for the national football team. The national football team continued to control the rhythm of the game and looked for opportunities to expand the score, but in the 34th minute, Wu Xi unfortunately strained his leg when fighting with the opposing player and was replaced by Wang Qiuming. This is the first loss of the national football team, Wu Xi is the core of the midfield of the national football team, and his absence has a certain impact on the organization and passing of the national football team. Hong Kong, China, relied mainly on defense to resist the attack of the national football team, and they rarely had the opportunity to threaten the national football goal, and the national football team still led 1-0 at half-time.
In the second half, the situation of the game changed dramatically, the national football team was sent off with red cards three times in a row, because the game is a closed game, the specific situation is not known for the time being, but it is reported that the three people who were sent off were Wang Shangyuan, Wu Shaocong and Liu Binbin, they are the defenders, midfielders and wingers of the national football team, their absence has seriously weakened the defense and attack of the national football team. Hong Kong, China, seized the opportunity, and in the 65th minute, Poon Pui Hin received a cross from a teammate and scored with a header to equalize the score. In the 78th minute, Pan Peixuan once again took advantage of the mistake of the national football team, single-handedly entered the penalty area, calmly hit the ball into the far corner, and scored a brace, helping Hong Kong, China overtake the national football team 2-1. The national football team was unable to recover from the disadvantage of numbers and scores, and finally lost the game with a score of 1-2.
The reason for the competition
The result of this match is reminiscent of a match in the 2018 World Cup, when Germany lost 0-2 to South Korea in the final game of the group stage and missed out on qualifying. Germany were the defending champions at the time, while South Korea were bottom of the group, in an unexpected comeback. So, what do the Chinese men's football team and the German team have in common? The answer is that they both lost to opponents who were weaker than themselves when they had too much self-confidence and underestimated their opponents.
Before this game, the Chinese men's football team had played two warm-up matches, winning 1-0 against Jordan, ranked 97th in the world, and losing 0-1 to Iraq, ranked 72nd in the world. These two games, although the results are different, both show the progress of the national football team, their defense is more solid, the attack is also a certain threat, and the overall state of the team is relatively good.
Therefore, the national football team is naturally full of confidence and even a little contemptuous of the opponent of this game, Hong Kong, China, ranked 150th in the world. They may think that this is a game without suspense, and as long as they play at their own pace, they can easily win. This mentality has led to the laxity and pride of the national football team, who do not regard Hong Kong, China as a real opponent, but as a sparring partner. Instead of giving it their all, not respecting their opponents, not being calm and sane, they made some unnecessary moves and clashes on the field, which eventually led to the three being sent off and losing control of the game.
Hong Kong, China, is driven by inferiority complex, showing a tenacious fighting spirit, they know that their strength is not as good as the national football team, but they did not give up, but use their own way to challenge the national football team. On defense, they showed great struggle and sacrifice, on offense, they showed great agility and decisiveness, and psychologically, they showed great calmness and tenacity. They were not crushed by the lead of the national football team, but waited for the opportunity, and when the national football team made a mistake, they did not hesitate to seize the opportunity and complete the reversal. They proved their worth with their own performance and taught the national football team a profound lesson.
Why did the Warriors trade Wiggins? A three-way trade could send him to the 76ers
The Warriors' dilemma
The new NBA season has begun, but the Warriors are not showing the momentum to win the championship. Their main players, Curry, Thompson and Green, are no longer young and have experienced multiple injuries. Their rookie Kuminga has a lot of potential, but it will take time to adjust to the pace and intensity of the league. Their other players also don't bring enough support and consistency to the team. Among them, Andrew Wiggins is a controversial player.
Wiggins' performance
Wiggins was traded to the Warriors by the Timberwolves in February 2020, when he was expected to be the Warriors' Big Three, or at least a reliable scorer and defender. However, Wiggins didn't live up to expectations, averaging points per game from 22.4 for the Timberwolves to 18.6 for the Warriors, and his shooting percentage dropped from 45.8 percent to 43.9 percent. His defense has improved, but it is still not enough to offset his inefficiency and passivity on the offensive end. Wiggins' performance left both Warriors management and fans disappointed and dissatisfied.
Possibility of three-way trading
According to Warriors reporter Tim Kawakami, the Warriors are now open to trading Wiggins as far as he knows. It is reported that if Kuminga can become the Warriors' No. 3 pick, the Warriors are willing to negotiate a trade for Wiggins with other teams. According to the American media "Fadeaway World", it is very likely that the Warriors management is currently brewing with the 76ers and the Rockets, and a three-way deal will send Wiggins away. The deal is as follows: The Warriors send Andrew Wiggins for Nicholas Batum + Jock Landale + 2 future first-round picks + 2 future second-round picks. The 76ers sent Nicholas Batum + Robert Covington + a 2026 Thunder first-round pick + a 2028 Clippers first-round pick to get Andrew Wiggins. The Rockets sent Jock Landale + 2024 Warriors second-round pick + 2024 Thunder second-round pick to get Robert Covington.
The impact of the transaction
If this deal does happen, it will have different implications for all three teams. For the Warriors, they could move away from Wiggins' hefty contract and free up more salary space while acquiring two experienced role players and multiple draft picks to add depth and flexibility to the team. For the 76ers, they can get a young scorer and form a big three with Embiid and Simmons to improve the team's offensive firepower and roster balance. For the Rockets, they can get a good 3-and-D player who can form an interior combination with Wood and Green to enhance the team's defense and rebounding capabilities.
conclusion
To sum up, this three-way deal may be a plan that is beneficial to all parties, but whether it can be actually realized depends on the willingness of the teams and changes in the market. Whether the Warriors are willing to give up Wiggins, whether the 76ers are willing to give up Covington, and whether the Rockets are willing to give up Landale are all factors to consider. Regardless, we're looking forward to seeing the Warriors get back to the top, the 76ers break through the bottleneck, and the Rockets rebuild successfully.
