The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Japan in 88 years of victory in the international arena, and Qiao Shuai was afraid of getting out of class
The Chinese men's basketball team got off to a good start in the Asian preliminaries, beating the Mongolian team by 31 points, and the result of the game was not surprising, after all, in last year's Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team beat Mongolia by 39 points. For the Chinese men's basketball team, the first test will be ushered in, the opponent is the Japanese team, the Chinese men's basketball team is playing away, and for coach Djordjevic, it is even a life-and-death battle.
In an interview, Djordjevic said that the next game against the Japanese team is very important, the whole team will play with the highest enthusiasm, they have home advantage, and have already played a game with the Guam team in that stadium, they will definitely continue the good form of the World Cup, and they have qualified for the Olympic Games, I believe that the Chinese men's basketball team will do better.
Previously, it was reported that the performance of the team in 2023 was terrible and did not complete the task, and once the Asian preliminary round against the Japanese team lost, Djordjevic is likely to be out of class. In this Asian preliminaries, Yao Ming served as the team leader, accompanied the team and supervised the battle on the spot, which is enough to see the importance attached to the Chinese men's basketball team.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese men's basketball team has not lost to the Japanese team for 88 years, the premise is that under the FIBA system competition, the last time the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese team was in the distant 1936 Olympic Games, when the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese men's basketball team 19-35, and then 88 years, mainly under the FIBA system events, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the Japanese team to maintain a full victory.
Of course, the Asian Games are not FIBA games, and the Chinese men's basketball team coached by Gong Luming was once reversed by the Japanese team when they had a maximum lead of 15 points in the Asian Games.
At present, the gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Japanese team is still relatively large, first of all, the Chinese men's basketball team is not the main force, although there are Zhao Jiwei, Hu Mingxuan and Abdusalam in the team, but Zhou Qi, Zhao Rui, Sun Minghui and others are absent, and they are in a residual formation, so even if they lose, it is not impossible for Djordjevic to accept. At the same time, the progress of the Japanese team is obvious to all, especially in last year's World Cup, which performed extremely well and qualified for the Paris Olympics, so the strength of the Japanese men's basketball team itself is not worse than that of the Chinese team.
The match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Japanese team will be played at 1 noon on February 25, looking forward to the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team, striving to get good results away from home and occupying the initiative to go straight to the Asian Cup.
