In a recent warm-up game, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Kings by an eye-popping 51 points. The loss of this game undoubtedly surprised many fans and media. It's especially puzzling why we're so sluggish on the offensive end, scoring just 50 points, which simply shouldn't have happened. So, what's the problem? Is it the player's poor form, or is the coach's strategy wrong? Today, we're going to uncover the secrets behind this fiasco.
The first to be questioned is head coach Guo Shiqiang. Many fans and media have expressed their dissatisfaction with his employment strategy. In this game, Guo Shiqiang's lineup did not seem to have the desired effect, but hindered the team's play on the offensive end. Especially for the use of young player Yang Hansen, it is even more confusing. The up-and-coming star has a lot of time on the pitch, but he rarely has the ball and seems to have been forgotten in the corner.
Speaking of Yang Hansen, what happened to the young player is truly poignant. He showed excellent offensive and defensive ability many times in the game, but the passing of the defender was always not in place, resulting in him not being able to give full play to his strength. A fan recalled: "At that time, Yang Hansen had already succeeded in the basket position, but unfortunately the guard line just didn't give him the ball, because they couldn't pass it, and they didn't have such ability." Such a scene undoubtedly makes people question Guo Shiqiang's employment strategy even more. Could it be that he really didn't see Yang Hansen's potential?
However, despite the limited possession, Yang was widely recognised for his performance in the game. He has both offense and defense, which has made many media and fans see his potential. The American media is full of praise for him, believing that if he can improve on the offensive end, he is expected to stand out in the draft in the future. Such an evaluation undoubtedly makes people full of expectations for Yang Hansen's future.
In the final quarter of the game, a highly affirmed lineup combination appeared, that is, Liao Sanning + Wang Lanyan + Yang Hansen. The three players played together and the overall fluidity was very good, as if they had found the key to winning. In contrast, when Yang Hansen was present with Gao Shiyan, his position was a little awkward. Such a comparison undoubtedly raises greater questions about Guo Shiqiang's employment strategy.
Regarding the loss of this game and Guo Shiqiang's employment strategy, netizens also had a lot of discussions. Some netizens said: "Guo Shiqiang should really reflect on it, why is such a good player not used?" Another netizen said: "Yang Hansen obviously has more potential than some players, why can't he be reused?" These doubts and questions undoubtedly point to Guo Shiqiang.
Looking back on this game, it is not difficult to find that the defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team is not accidental. The slump on the offensive end and the mistakes in the personnel strategy were all important reasons for this fiasco. And for the burial of Yang Hansen, a potential star, it is even more sad and regretful. We hope that in future competitions, Guo Shiqiang can pay more attention to the potential and strength of the players, and give them more opportunities and trust. At the same time, we also expect Yang Hansen to continue to show his strength in future games and contribute to the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In short, the issues behind this fiasco are worth pondering. Whether it is the coach's employment strategy or the player's state adjustment, we need to take it seriously and summarize. Only then will we be able to avoid similar mistakes and setbacks in future games. At the same time, we also hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can get out of the trough as soon as possible and regain its former glory and glory.
