On June 19, the Chinese men's basketball team in the Philippines held the Asian Cup qualifiers, the second time in four days against the Japanese men's basketball team, and finally with the outstanding performance of the fourth quarter, 90-84 again defeated the Japanese team, won three consecutive wins at the same time, but also locked in the first place in the group, advanced to the final round of the men's basketball Asian Cup held in Indonesia at the end of August this year. In this game, in addition to zhou Qi, who returned from the line of fire, still became the focus of outside attention, Zhang Bentianjie, a member of the Japanese team of Chinese descent, also became a topic figure in the game, although he only scored 3 points and 1 rebound in the whole game, but in the time of playing, it set off a lot of waves, and even caused a conflict on the field.
In the first meeting between the Chinese and Japanese teams three days ago, Zhang Bentianjie became one of the few bright spots for the Japanese team, contributing 11 points and 6 rebounds, but still could not save the Japanese team's defeat, and finally lost 57-66. In the second battle between the two teams, Zhang Bentianjie's performance was more desperate, although he did not make much contribution to the scoring and rebounding on the court, but he became an unstable factor in the Japanese team to interfere with the overall offensive and defensive system of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In a confrontation in the first half, Zhang Bentianjie snatched the ball from the Chinese team, but when facing Zhao Jiwei rushing over to prepare to intercept, Zhang Bentianjie made a fake action of raising his hand to pass the ball, tricking Zhao Jiwei into jumping high to block, and as a result, Zhang Ben Tianjie deliberately went to the top of Zhao Jiwei, who had lost his center of gravity in the air, and almost put the latter to the ground, and the referee also blew Zhao Jiwei's foul. Judging from the slow release of the scene at that time, Zhang Bentianjie's small action was very dangerous, if Zhao Jiwei landed unsteadily, it was likely that there would be serious injuries, light injuries, heavy career waste.
Just after Zhang Bentianjie made this small move to Zhao Jiwei, Shen Zijie of the Chinese team could not see it anymore, and went forward to theorize with it, but he did not expect that as soon as he raised his hand, Zhang Bentianjie fell backwards and fell to the ground very exaggeratedly, as if he was knocked down by Shen Zijie. Fortunately, at that time, the referee was in front of him, and everything in front of him was clear, and Zhang Bentianjie's clumsy "acting skills" did not deceive the referee, but just went forward to persuade both sides to open up, and did not give any foul punishment. In addition, Zhang Bentianjie's defensive action range in the game is also quite large, and when he chased back against a backcourt steal in front of Wu Qian, he directly used a malicious pulling action and finally ate a technical foul.
Seeing Zhang Bentianjie like a "mad dog", some people will feel that such a desperate team member is the degree of dedication to the game, but unfortunately, this is not the case. You know, Zhang Bentianjie, as a naturalized athlete, has a great hatred for his former hometown motherland, and even before that he had repeatedly said that what he wanted to defeat most was the Chinese team. Although he was born in a Chinese sports family, he failed to make a difference in China, immigrated to Japan with his family early, and eventually represented Japan, for more than ten years, although he accumulated a certain popularity, Zhang Bentianjie's personal level and ability were still average, and his "notoriety" had always been outside, which was disgraceful.
