The Chinese men's basketball team 73-76 Japan's three players performed sluggishly and became a key factor in the loss
Asian Cup qualifiers, Chinese men's basketball VS Japanese men's basketball team, before the game, many people are not optimistic that the Chinese men's basketball team can win, after all, in the past year or so, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team is too poor, on the other hand, the Japanese men's basketball team has performed very well, through the 2023 World Cup, got the Olympic Games, it can be said that fans are worried about the Chinese men's basketball team, it is understandable. After four quarters of competition between the two sides, in the end, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese men's basketball team by 3 points 73-76, so that the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese men's basketball team for the first time in nearly 88 years, obviously, this is an embarrassing thing for the Chinese men's basketball team.
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team entered the state very quickly, especially the inside fierce Hu Jinqiu, who continued to score under the basket, helping the Chinese men's basketball team to play a dream start with 14-3, however, after the Chinese men's basketball team has undergone personnel adjustments, the offensive efficiency has declined, and the Japanese men's basketball team has also seized the opportunity to continue to narrow the difference, and by the end of the first quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team is only 1 point ahead of the Japanese men's basketball team 20-19.
In the second quarter of the game, Hu Mingxuan scored 5 points in a row to help the Chinese men's basketball team expand its lead. With Abdul Salamu hitting 2 free throws, the Chinese men's basketball team led the Japanese men's basketball team by 8 points at 30-22. However, the offensive efficiency of the Chinese men's basketball team declined, and the Japanese men's basketball team overtook the Chinese men's basketball team by 2 points at 35-33 after a wave of scoring climaxes. Maba Xiongda's three-pointer was re-hit, leading the Chinese men's basketball team by 4 points at 38-34, forcing Djordjevic to make personnel adjustments, and with Hu Mingxuan scoring continuously after coming on the court, the Chinese men's basketball team tied the score, and the first half of the game was over, and the two sides fought to a 38-38 draw.
In the second half, the Chinese men's basketball team did not score for 4 minutes, and of course, the Japanese men's basketball team was not much better, scoring only 2 points, leading the Chinese men's basketball team by 2 points at 40-38. As the game deepened, the Japanese men's basketball team played a wave of scoring climaxes, leading the Chinese men's basketball team by 9 points at 55-46. During this time, the offensive efficiency of the Chinese men's basketball team was good and poor, especially the three-point shot, and I didn't find a feeling at all. Fortunately, at the critical time, Hu Mingxuan stood up and played 2+1, narrowing some points difference, and by the end of the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team was 51-55 behind the opponent by 4 points.
In the final quarter, the Japanese men's basketball team went 5-2 and extended its lead to 7 points. Next, the two sides entered a stalemate, Yudai Baba made 2 free throws and 2 hits, and the Japanese men's basketball team led the Chinese men's basketball team by 8 points at 71-63. Next, although the Chinese men's basketball team played very tenaciously and once narrowed the difference to only 2 points, at the end, Zhu Junlong missed three points, and the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese men's basketball team by 3 points and suffered a humiliating defeat.
So, why did the Chinese men's basketball team lose to the Japanese men's basketball team? Judging from the analysis of the game, it can be said that it is closely related to the sluggish performance of the three people, one is the team's main guard Zhao Jiwei, in this game, Zhao Jiwei started the game and played for 25 minutes, however, he performed very badly on both the offensive and defensive ends, shooting 2 of 7, including 0 of 4 three-pointers, and only scored 4 points. In the final moment, Zhao Jiwei's defense was full of holes, allowing the opponent to hit consecutive three-pointers, and there is no doubt that Zhao Jiwei's performance was disappointing.
The other is the men's basketball superstar Choi Yong-hee, in this game, Choi Yong-hee came off the bench, but on the court, Choi Yong-hee was like sleepwalking, and he couldn't play the offensive feeling at all, shooting 1 of 4 and only scoring 2 points. There is no doubt that Cui Yongxi did not play at the level he should have, and as a superstar of the Chinese men's basketball team, Cui Yongxi's performance was disappointing.
There is also an 18-year-old teenager Yang Hansen, as we all know, everyone regards Yang Hansen as the future hope of the Chinese men's basketball team, however, judging from his performance in this game, he still looks very tender, in the game, many singles are not scored, shooting 4 in 0, only relying on free throws to get 2 points. It can be said that if Yang Hansen performs a little better on the offensive end, then it is very likely that the Chinese men's basketball team will win. Here, I also hope that Yang Hansen can be brave after shame. Be able to learn lessons and make great strides in the future. Come on!
