On July 7, Beijing time, the U17 Men's Basketball World Cup being held in Turkey entered the last day, and the Chinese men's basketball team faced the Guinean men's basketball team in the 13-14 qualifying match. The Chinese men's basketball team and the Guinea men's basketball team are in the same group, and the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the first game is the Guinean men's basketball team.
In that game, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 28:57 rebounds by 29, and frontcourt rebounds lost by 11 rebounds at 4:15, and finally had no choice but to lose. But in the game, Xun Sinan played well, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds and 7 blocks, and Feng Yubo also scored 23 points. In this game, Xun Sinan and Feng Yubo were both unable to play due to injury, and the Chinese men's basketball team lost the two strongest offensive points. But what did the Chinese men's basketball team rely on to win in the end?
1. The Chinese men's basketball team was not in good shape in the first half, but at this time Zhang Boyuan stood up and carried the whole team by himself, he used his accurate three-point shot to firmly bite the score, so that the Chinese men's basketball team, which was completely inferior in the first half, only fell behind by a three-point difference of 45:48, which brought hope for the counterattack of the Chinese men's basketball team in the second half. In the half, Zhang Boyuan hit 6 three-pointers and scored 21 points, and Zhang Boyuan hit 8 three-pointers to score 32 points in the whole game.
Second, in the second half of the game, Li Yuezhou gradually took over the game, and in the third quarter, Li Yuezhou and Zhang Boyuan both played wonderfully, especially Li Yuezhou, who shook the opponent 5 meters away with the ball and led the Chinese men's basketball team to overtake the score. In the fourth quarter, Li Yuezhou led the Chinese men's basketball team to continue to expand its lead, leading by up to 13 points, although the Guinean men's basketball team fought back frantically in the last two minutes, but time was not enough, and the Chinese men's basketball team finally won the game. Li Yuezhou shot 5-of-7 from the field, including 1-of-2 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free throw line, scoring 15 points and 8 assists.
3. In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team paid attention to the rebounding rush, the Chinese men's basketball team's protection of rebounding was significantly strengthened, and all the players were very active in rebounding, and they only lost 3 rebounds at 27:30 in the whole game. Although Guinean men's basketball player Toure scored 50 points on 21-of-26 shooting, he still lost in the end.
Fourth, the three-point shooting of the Chinese men's basketball team in this game was very stable, and they shot 16 of 32 three-pointers in the whole game, and basically grasped the empty three-point shots, showing good shooting basic skills. Among them, Zhang Boyuan made 8 of 13 three-point shots, and there were ultra-long three-point shots two meters away from the three-point line, and strong three-point shots facing the defense, all of which showed Zhang Boyuan's solid basic skills.
5. The Chinese men's basketball team has a very high free throw shooting rate in this game, they made 18 of 20 free throws in the whole game, and the shooting rate reached 90%. In particular, Zhang Boyuan's free throws are not only 5 of 5 free throws, but his free throws are basically hollow into the net, and free throws and three-pointers are worth learning from the big brother of the Chinese men's national basketball team.
6. The Guinean men's basketball team in this competition is not an African team in the traditional sense, because none of the players in their team are from the African continent, eight of them are from the United States, and two from Canada and France. Most of the Chinese men's basketball players are from China, and under normal circumstances, domestic players will only get worse and worse.
To sum up, if you want to win the game, you must have a positive attitude, have the courage to fight, fight for every ball, and at the same time have solid basic skills to ensure it, otherwise it will be difficult for us to win without a physical advantage. The main disadvantage of this Chinese men's basketball team is the poor ability to break the press, which is also a common problem of national teams at all levels, indicating that there is a problem with our youth training. Only through continuous training to overcome this shortcoming, can the Chinese men's basketball team become a world powerhouse.
