The Chinese men's basketball team was disbanded on the spot after losing to Japan, and the players returned to China according to their respective schedules
On February 25, it was reported that in the Asian Cup qualifiers that ended on the 25th, the Japanese men's basketball team defeated the Chinese men's basketball team 76-73 at home, which was also the first time that the Japanese team defeated the Chinese team in a FIBA match since 1936. According to domestic media reports, the Chinese men's basketball team will be disbanded on the spot after playing this game and will return to China.
In this game, the Japanese team sent the strongest lineup except for overseas players, just to break the long-term winless record against the Chinese team.
At the beginning of the game, the men's basketball team played a 14-3 start with a three-point shot in succession, and the Japanese team was taken care of by the referee in the first half, but the Chinese team's own shooting rate was not high, and the men's basketball team drew 38-38 with the Japanese team at halftime.
In the second half, the shooting rate of both sides declined, scoring was difficult, and at the last moment, the Japanese team made 1 of 2 free throws, while the Chinese team did not make a foul in the last 20 seconds, and the last attack in the last 6.6 seconds was not executed, Zhu Junlong missed the three-point draw, and the men's basketball team lost 73-76.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time since the 1936 Olympic Games that the Chinese men's basketball team has lost to the Japanese men's basketball team in the FIBA system at the Asian level and above since the 1936 Olympic Games.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked if head coach Djordjevic would be his last game in charge of the Chinese team.
Because the next official game of the men's basketball team is in November this year, and Qiao Shuai's contract ends at the Paris Olympics this year, following the disastrous defeat of the men's basketball World Cup last year and the Paris Olympics, the Hangzhou Asian Games only won a bronze medal at home, and lost to the Philippines, Japan and other Asian opponents in a row.
After the game, according to the basketball media person "Three Soil Thorns", the Chinese men's basketball team will be disbanded on the spot after the game.
Next, the third phase of the CBA will restart, and the national players will be involved in club competitions, but the future of the national team is overshadowed.
In this regard, netizens said, "Disbanding on the spot will not really be over, and I plan to travel in Japan for a few days to see where the sushi is delicious and come back."
"It's okay to go on a tour, but if you dare to go there a few days after the loss, you can still be photographed... I can't figure it out, that is, I deserve to be drowned in saliva."
"Don't you come back collectively for a summary meeting?"
"After the World Cup and Asian Games, players are playing CBA, in fact, players have not grown up in the CBA, and they can improve very much after two weeks of training, how is it possible?"
"Just reimburse the Erhu for the air ticket, and others buy it themselves"
"Make your own arrangements, and the voiceover is that you can play in Japan"
"Winning or losing does not affect these incompetent sons in the slightest, shopping, drinking and traveling. After all, life is bigger than basketball."
