Tonight, the Chinese men's basketball team is about to usher in a heavy opponent, they are the Nigerian team. This is also the final battle for tickets to the Tokyo Olympics, and the Chinese team has only two paths. The first won Nigeria directly to get the ticket to the Tokyo Olympic Games, and the second lost to Nigeria.
If you lose to Nigeria, you need to look at Iran's face. Because tonight Iran will fight the Philippines. If Iran wins, China will lose the record and draw. Both sides will judge who is the first in Asia by the goal difference.
In other words, the Chinese team can lose to Nigeria, but only if the score of the Iranian team wins against the Philippine team plus the score of the Chinese team losing to the Nigeria team is less than 16 points.
Although on the surface Nigeria's strength is definitely above the Chinese team, after all, there is the Timberwolves Gate Okoji. In addition, there is magic 3d player Aminu, spurs Meitu is also a tough player.
All three players are NBA players, in addition to Yudu and Diogu, two tough players with NBA strength. It is really difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to win, and the strength of the opponent is too strong.
In addition, Ike Diogu, who has played in the CBA for many years, also told his Teammates of Nigeria the "intelligence" of the Chinese men's basketball team. Diogu Everyone knows who it is, yi Jianlian's teammate in the past, who has played in the Guangdong team.
When Diogu talked about facing the Chinese team, he also shook his head because he really didn't want to play. But for the sake of the country, he has to provide some intelligence in the team's favor. Diogu smiled happily when talking about the UAE.
Diogu said: "It is a pleasure to be back in China, I won the championship in Guangdong and had a happy time in the CBA. I can still meet my old teammate Yi Jianlian, and we will have a good chat. In addition, I have played against every player in the Chinese team, so I have to tell my teammates about their characteristics. ”
In fact, even if Diogu did not leak the intelligence of Chinese players, Nigeria still had the absolute upper hand in this battle. The only chance the Chinese team can win is that the general discipline of African teams is not very good. The opening game will be very brave, but it is easy to follow up with lack of attention.
This is also the reason why Nigeria wants to play qualifying with the Chinese team, it is undeniable that their strength is very strong, and the confrontation is not comparable to the Chinese team, but there is still a glimmer of life in the overall cooperation with China.
In addition, Okoji also invisibly revealed their tactics tonight to Li Nan, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In today's training process, the entire Nigerian team is practicing a killing move, that is, a quick attack counterattack. In addition, Okoji also revealed that he practiced breakthroughs and free throws.
Obviously, Nigeria is still hoping to hit the inside line with the Chinese team's basket, and they may aim at the lineup of three defenders. 3 defenders we all know is Li Nan's big move, but also the core of all his tactics.
But the 3-guard also has a flaw, that is, the offense is prone to constipation, almost only breaking through the three-point shot and unreliable. Once Nigeria contracted the basket, the Chinese 3 defenders could not break in at all, and could only pass around on the outside line and could not finish.
Also is the height. The Chinese team's front line will not let go, Abu + Kolan Baike will be hidden in the snow, and Ren Junfei will not reuse it. What should such a Chinese team do under the basket? Relying only on Yi Jianlian + Zhou Qi + Wang Zhelin is obviously not enough, and the defender is easily beaten by big and small. The rim and rebounds will also be in a disadvantageous position.
Okoji showdown when talking about the Chinese team: "We are now in control of our own destiny, we will devote all our energy to the game against the Chinese men's basketball team, we must qualify for the Olympic Games!" ”
