In a men's basketball Asian preliminary tournament that just ended, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated its old rival Japan men's basketball team 66:57 and achieved the opening of the event.
In this competition, the three teams of China, Japan and Taiwan are in the same group, and according to the promotion rules, the two teams with the best records will directly qualify for the Asian Cup.
Therefore, after winning the first game, the men's basketball team has already achieved the initiative to qualify.
Take a look at the technical statistics for this campaign:
Hu Mingxuan 6 points, 3 boards and 3 assists, Lu Wenbo 4 points, Ren Junfei 6 points and 3 boards, Xu Jie 6 points and 2 boards, Zhou Peng 16 points and 2 assists, Shen Zijie 11 points and 5 boards, Wu Qian 4 points 5 boards and 4 assists, Zhang Zhenlin 3 points and 7 boards, Zhao Jiwei 6 points, 4 boards and 7 assists, Zhao Yanhao 4 points and 4 boards!
Zhang Bentianjie 11 points and 6 boards, Shin Hieshima 12 points, Kosuke Kanemaru 12 points and 5 boards, Edwards 8 points, 6 boards and 3 assists 2 breaks!
In this game, in the lineup of the Japanese men's basketball team, I saw an old acquaintance: Zhang Tianjie. From Shenyang, Liaoning. (Wearing the number 88 shirt during the match)
Since he is Chinese, why did he play for Japan?
That's because he became a Japanese citizen at the age of 16 and then played for Japan.
At the same time, he also changed his name: Zhang Bentianjie.
At the age of 16, Zhang Bentianjie represented Japan in the 2008 Asian Youth Championship, becoming the first Chinese men's basketball player to be naturalized by the Japanese national team.
Judging from today's game, Zhang Bentianjie's performance is still more amazing.
He had 11 points plus six rebounds, and both teams shot lower on the offensive end.
However, because this time, Yamura and Watanabe in the Japanese front, they did not play in the game.
If it is the main force, Zhang Bentianjie is difficult to get the opportunity to be selected for the Japanese men's basketball team, so from his point of view, if he wants to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games, it is basically a small probability event...
However, as far as today's performance is concerned, the young forwards of the Chinese men's basketball team should really work hard.
Zhang Zhenlin, a player also from Liaoning, really can't play with Zhang Bentianjie.
Kim played 12 minutes and 28 seconds and scored 3 points on 1-of-6 shooting. The offensive end can't shoot, and the defensive end actually has a lot of problems.
This is where the young striker needs to improve...
