Preface
In the California Classic of the NBA Summer League, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Kings Red Team with a score of 50-101. In this game, the men's basketball team showed no way to fight back, and the opponent was continuously counterattacked in the first quarter of the game, and the offensive efficiency in the next few quarters was inefficient, and the defense in the second half declined significantly, causing the Kings to continue to widen the score gap, and finally the Chinese men's basketball team suffered a heavy defeat.
First half of the game
In the first quarter of the game, the Kings opened the game with a 5-0 start. The Chinese men's basketball team opened the scoring with Liao Sanning's breakthrough, but the Kings then extended their advantage through Ellis's mid-range hit and Yu Jiahao's second offense. The Kings counterattacked in a row and completed a dunk, and Liao Sanning tried to throw and score.
Ellis scored 5 points in a row, and Cheng Shuai Pengli broke through and scored 6 points outside to narrow the difference. However, the Kings then hit three straight three-pointers to pull away. Wang Lanyan's mid-range shot and Jiao Poqiao's hook shot added points to the Chinese men's basketball team, but they still trailed the Kings by 18-31 by 13 points at the end of the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Yu Jiahao's back-to-back singles scored the first point for the Chinese team. Ellis then made a steal and hit a three-pointer to tie the lead to 20 points. China's Gao Shiyan responded with a three-pointer, Yang Hansen turned and scored a layup, and Ellis broke through to score. Jones hit another crucial sideways three-pointer, causing China to call a timeout.
Jiao Poqiao grabbed a basket under the basket and caused a kill, while the Kings scored on an open spot on the counter. Wang Lanyan responded with a mid-range score after a quick stop, but Achuer's hook throw made it possible for the Chinese men's basketball team to trail the Kings 29-52 at halftime.
Cheng Shuaipeng scored 8 points in the first quarter and had a relatively high shooting percentage. With two minutes left in the first quarter, Lee failed to play to his level in the CBA league. Wang Haoran missed an empty basket in the fast break, and such scoring opportunities are usually something he can grasp.
Overall, the attack in the first half relied almost entirely on the performance of defenders and centre-forwards, with the forwards appearing too slow and lacking in skill. For example, a player like Du Runwang can basically only shoot in the open position, and he still fails to hit. They didn't keep up with the pace on the defensive end, didn't develop an effective defense, and couldn't be in a good position when it came to rebounding.
After entering the second quarter, the Chinese team's offense scored only 11 points, and their own offense failed to open effectively, while the problems on the defensive end were even more prominent. The Kings didn't put too much pressure on the defense and didn't use a wrap-and-wrap strategy to limit the ball carriers. Once the Chinese team is caught in the bag, the defenders can't even pass the ball, which is likely to be a mistake. At halftime, China trailed 29-52, which once again highlighted their difficulty on the defensive end and their inefficiency on the offensive end.
In the second half of the game, Cheng Shuai Peng performed well
After the break, the team fell into a scoring drought again. Four minutes have passed and they have yet to score. Cheng made a three-point foul from the outside, hitting 2 of 3 free throws from the free throw line to contribute 2 points to the team in the third quarter. But Zou Yang made two mistakes as soon as he came on the court, and clashed with Yang Hansen while defending, causing Zou Yang to foul. However, on the court, the Chinese team did not effectively use Yang Hansen's advantages to organize tactics, but relied on his personal second rebound score.
On the offensive side, the Chinese team missed several opportunities, and chose to pass the ball instead of shooting in the face of a 5-on-4 situation, and finally let the opponent's defense meet it neatly, resulting in an increase in errors. The rebounding failed to solidify the defense, and the shooting and free throw shooting percentages were not high, making the game seem hopeless. The holes on the defensive end are even more obvious, and opponents score easily. At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team trailed the Kings 36-77.
The fourth quarter was even worse, with the players' fitness clearly not keeping up with the intensity of the game. The ball was passed back and forth and eventually back into the hands of the defenders, and the forward line lacked the ability to handle the ball. Zhu Mingzhen held the ball after a steal, but made another mistake. Cheng Shuaipeng's two-point shooting rate in the game was only 50%, and the rest of the players were mediocre.
Gao Shiyan scored on a jumper, but the Kings then made back-to-back steals. They unleashed a 14-0 attack wave to extend their lead to over 50 points. After Cheng Shuaipeng hit the board successfully, the Chinese team's inside shot also successfully caused damage, with two free throws and one hit. Next, Cheng Shuai Peng counterattacked and hit a three-pointer, scoring 6 points in a row. Yang Hansen stepped up and down the basket under the basket, and successfully dribbled and threw the ball alone, contributing 2+0.
The Kings continued to fight back, scoring back-to-back points. In the end, the game was over, and the Chinese team suffered a heavy defeat, 51 points behind the opponent. Jones hit a three-pointer and Ellis scored 2+1 on a mid-range shot. The 8-0 scoring spurt allowed the Kings to stretch a 31-point lead again. Cheng Shuaipeng hit two of three free throws from the free throw line, and Achuer scored on a frisbee in the air.
Zhu Mingzhen also hit by throwing, but Jones' step-back three-pointer showed his scoring ability. The Kings extended their lead by hitting two three-pointers in a row. Jiao Boqiao scored a layup, and Wang Lanyan scored a point from the free throw line in the breakaway. In the end, the defeat was 51 points, and the players inevitably felt frustrated in their hearts.
Only Cheng Shuaipeng dared to try to disrupt the rhythm of the game, but even if each quarter was only 10 minutes, their physical fitness was difficult to support. In this case, even if the CBA adjusts the pace of the game from 12 minutes to 10 minutes, the challenge for the Chinese men's basketball team to be in line with international standards is still arduous.
Cheng Shuaipeng's (perfect score) competitive form is very good. After he appeared as a substitute player, he scored 8 points in a row with his excellent touch, and his performance was very eye-catching. In the first half, he scored eight points on 4-of-6 shooting. In the second half, he remained aggressive, shooting 6 of 10 shots and contributing 16 points and 1 rebound.

conclusion

In the face of the strong strength of the opponent and the high level of the pace of the game, the Chinese team seemed powerless. In the game, although Cheng Shuai Peng scored 16 points, he still couldn't change the trend of the game. Overall, this fiasco provided an important opportunity for reflection and learning for the Chinese men's basketball team.
