On June 26, the warm-up game of the Chinese men's basketball team began, and the opponent was the Macau Black Bears. After the start of the game, both teams tried to win, and the Chinese men's basketball team was average in attack and defense in the first half, trailing the Black Bears by 4 points at halftime. In the second half, the Chinese men's basketball team improved, leading by 6 points at the end of the third quarter, but it slipped again in the final quarter and finally lost 78-83. After the game, the game caused heated discussions, mainly because of the loss of the Chinese men's basketball team, and three major problems appeared again.

First, the number of mistakes.
Looking back on the game, there were many inexplicable mistakes in the process of the Chinese men's basketball team. Gao Shiyan dribbled and lost, Zhu Mingzhen broke through very well, but the pass was gone, and Yu Jiahao was stolen by the opponent in the middle circle. There was even a famous scene of passing the ball to Guo Shiqiang in the game, which was funny to watch. The Chinese men's basketball team's attack power in this game is average, and now there are many mistakes, how to win.
Second, rebounding is weak.
The Chinese men's basketball team has always been tall, but this has not translated into an advantage in international competitions, and rebounding always loses to opponents. In the game, the Chinese men's basketball players lost backcourt rebounds many times, and the Macau Black Bears just shot and grabbed, although they did not have a height advantage, they were full of enthusiasm, and they rushed to the frontcourt rebounds many times, and most of them were converted into scores, which is terrible. Even with a tower like Yang Hansen, the Chinese men's basketball team's rebounds are still not well protected, which is difficult to win.
Third, the free throw + three-point shooting rate is low.
The Chinese men's basketball team caused many fouls in this game, but the free throw shooting rate was average. We saw that many people hit one of the two free throws, and two missed the free throws, and the free throws became an insurmountable difficulty for the Chinese men's basketball players. Aside from this warm-up game, in the past, the Chinese men's basketball team always had problems with free throws in international competitions, and how to solve this is still unknown. There are also three-point shots, Du Runwang only hit 1 of 9 three-point shots, Zhu Mingzhen even shot 0 of 5, almost the whole team hit iron, how can this win.
To sum up, the above are the reasons for the loss of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the three problems are also old problems, and there is no solution to them so far. The interim head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team in this training camp is Guo Shiqiang, although there has been no official announcement, but he still has a long way to go.
