The Japanese men's basketball team clamored to rewrite the history of the Chinese men's basketball team that had not won in 88 years, and Qiao Shuai's 12-man list left hidden dangers
The Asian preliminary match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Japanese men's basketball team was held in Japan. This is the second game of the Asian preliminary round of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The Japanese men's basketball team defeated Guam 77-56 in the first game. In order to prepare for the game against the Chinese men's basketball team, they called on the strongest lineup almost except for the two NBA players Hachimura and Yuta Watanabe, Yuki Tomiya, Yuki Kawamura, Shin Ejima, Yudai Baba and other famous players, in addition to the naturalized players who shined in the World Cup - an average of 21 points and 10 rebounds per game, and contributed to the Japanese men's basketball team's qualification and entry into the Olympics - white center Hawkinson.
The Chinese men's basketball team also defeated the Mongolian men's basketball team 80-49 in the first game. However, this time, many of the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team were absent, and the team was dominated by young players, and there was only less than 2 weeks of training time. Is the team really running in perfectly, and do the players really understand the tactics of the foreign coach Djordjevic? Judging from the slow and backward in the opening stage of the first game against the Mongolian men's basketball team, I am afraid that it may not be ......
The Japanese men's basketball team wants to avenge the 88-year undefeated Chinese men's basketball team:
On the one hand, the World Cup is 1-4, creating the worst result in team history;
On the one hand, it won 3-2 in the World Cup, defeated Finland, Venezuela, and Cape Verde, successfully qualified and qualified for the Olympics.
The Chinese men's basketball team and the Japanese men's basketball team, one is at a low point, and the other is at the top.
It is no wonder that the outside world is unanimously optimistic that the Japanese men's basketball team can break the long-standing winless history of the Chinese men's basketball team (in FIBA-level competitions, the Japanese men's basketball team has almost never won). Even the official FIBA power rankings in this Asian preliminary tournament put Japan in second place, while the Chinese team only ranked seventh.
Japanese men's basketball coach Horvath was full of confidence in an interview: "I have been coaching this Japanese team for several years. Two and a half years ago, we lost (from 2021 to 2022, the Japanese men's basketball team lost to the Chinese men's basketball team coached by Du Feng in the Asian preliminaries and the world preliminaries). At that time, there were many players in the Chinese team who were more than 2 meters tall, and the game was very difficult. ”
"But now we've found a solution. We'll try to make the game as fast as possible. ”
"The Japanese team has lost for 88 years (the Japanese team has not won the Chinese men's basketball team in 88 years in official matches under the FIBA system), and now is the time to rewrite history. ”
It's incomprehensible! Qiao Shuai's 12-member roster of the Chinese team is self-defeating martial arts with short hits and long hits?
At the same time, the Chinese men's basketball team also announced the 12-player roster against the Japanese team:
Center: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hansen
Forwards: Fu Hao, Wang Ruize, Abdul Salamu, Du Runwang, Zhu Junlong
Defenders: Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Jiwei, Xu Jie, Cheng Shuaipeng, Cui Yongxi
Compared with the lineup in the first game, there is only one change: the 2.08-meter big forward Fu Hao replaces the 2.21-meter center Yu Jiahao.
Another player who traveled with the team, Liao Sanning, did not get a chance to play in two games and was reduced to a sparring partner.
Although it is understandable to continue to use the lineup that won the first game, men's basketball coach Djordjevic's 12-man roster selection has caused a lot of controversy:
(1) did not give Liao Sanning a chance, and continued to trust Zhao, Hu, and Cui:
Although it won a big victory against the Mongolian team, the starting guard trio Zhao Jiwei, Hu Mingxuan, and Cui Yongxi played a mess, and the men's basketball team even fell behind the Mongolian team 1-8 in the opening 6 minutes. Later, Xu Jie, Cheng Shuaipeng and other substitute players came on to turn the situation around, but after the big score lead, the performance of Zhao, Hu, and Cui did not improve much.
Liao Sanning may not be as good as the three of them in terms of ability and experience, but in the case of the three of them being extremely sluggish, Liao still didn't get a chance, so it seems that Lao Qiao is a little eccentric. Maybe Old Joe still believes that they can get back into shape.
(2) Replace Yu Jiahao with big forward Fu Hao:
Fu Hao is also one of Old Qiao's favorite generals. He is characterized by his ability to score points in just a few minutes off the bench and can be used in difficult scoring stages, but his defensive weaknesses are also obvious, and they can be used occasionally, but not all the time.
And the biggest hidden danger of Yu Jiahao's defeat is that there are only Hu Jinqiu and Yang Hansen left, and in case of injury or foul problems, no one will change them. And Hu Jinqiu is 2.08 meters tall, playing the No. 5 position in the No. 4 position, and I am afraid that he will suffer when facing the naturalized center Hawkinson (the same height) of the Japanese team, and Yang Hansen Although he has the advantage in height, there is also a gap between him and Hawkinson in terms of athleticism, and the 18-year-old is far inferior to the 28-year-old Hawkinson in terms of experience.
The most important thing is that Lao Qiao seems to change his strategy after hearing that the Japanese team wants to play fast, and replace the "slow" Yu Jiahao with the relatively "fast" Fu Hao to deal with the Japanese team. The question is: how fast can you outperform the already small Japanese team?
And what the Japanese team is most afraid of is our overall height and interior advantage, why should we abandon our martial arts and use short strikes to long?
