Aim for the top in Asia, and beyond.
On October 20, Beijing time, the Japan men's basketball team officially released the promotional poster for the second stage of the Asian preliminary round.
At the beginning of the article, there is the copy of their poster.
Seeing this, many fans have said that they finally know why the Japan men's basketball team can improve so fast.
First of all, they really have a purpose.
Asia's top, and beyond.
This is the most genuine idea of the Japan men's basketball team at the moment, first to become the top existence of Asian men's basketball, and then rush out of Asia to play against the world's top teams in Europe and the United States.
Speaking of which, some fans may not understand very well, isn't the current Japan men's basketball team the top in Asia?
Well, at the moment, it's not quite yet.
Although, they are the only team to represent Asia at this year's Paris Olympics.
However, their position in Asia is not yet so strong.
Putting aside other teams, let's compare them with our Chinese men's basketball team.
Even in the past two years, we have been in a situation where we have won and lost each other.
In the 2021 World Cup qualifiers, we won two games in a row, and both of them were big wins.
Most importantly, it was played on their home turf in Japan.
Then, in the following time, they chose the right Hawkinson, a naturalized player, which instantly strengthened their interior strength, and the gap between them and us was no longer so great.
This is the first stage of the previous Asian Cup qualifiers, defeating our Chinese men's basketball team.
So, let's be humble.
The current Japan men's basketball team is also at most in a five-five situation with the Chinese men's basketball team.
Therefore, they can only be regarded as the "quasi-top" in Asia at present, and they are not really the top yet.
As far further afield, the gap is even greater.
After all, everyone has seen the performance throughout the Olympics.
Therefore, the Japan men's basketball team is quite appropriate.
Having said that, as long as there is a goal, it is a commendable thing, and our current Chinese men's basketball team is a little confused.
Secondly, give the greatest support to players who have dreams.
If you look at this poster, you can see that there is no image of Yuki Kawamura in it.
This is a bit strange, as the first person in the guard line of the current Japan men's basketball team, and even the entire Asian guard is the top existence, how can he be missing?
However, on second thought, since the Asian qualifiers are scheduled for November, Kawamura should still be actively training and playing in the NBA, given that he has just signed a two-way contract with the Grizzlies.
If he comes back to participate in the Asian preliminaries, it will inevitably delay his original plan.
In addition, the Asian preliminaries are not important competitions at all, and even without Yuki Kawamura, they still have no problem qualifying for the competition.
However, if this matter is put on the Chinese men's basketball team, it may not be easy to say.
Choi Yong-hee is also currently signing a two-way contract with the Nets, and he should also be actively training and playing at the start of the Asian preliminaries.
I don't know if he will come back then.
In fact, the reason is the same, he doesn't have to come back at all, our existing players can be selected at will.
If you are not sure about this, then you can really disband on the spot.
In the final analysis, it is not necessary to go through this "form".
Hopefully, this time the Chinese men's basketball team can also have the same pattern and vision as the Japan men's basketball team.
In other words, this kind of thing doesn't need to be said at all, it's normal.
After all, we've already suffered too much in this area before.
