Before the warm-up match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team, almost everyone was not optimistic about the Chinese men's basketball team, believing that in the face of Australia, which is almost the main force, the Chinese men's basketball team will not only have no chance of winning, but it will even be difficult to score, and it will be conservatively estimated that the Chinese men's basketball team will lose by more than 30 points.
It can't be helped, because Australia is so good, they have 10 NBA players, and this time, they are preparing for the Olympics, so they sent the strongest team. You know, their goal at the Olympics is to compete for medals.
Of course, Australia will not take the Chinese men's basketball team lightly, they know very well that the Chinese men's basketball team once had NBA legend Yao Ming, and they also know that the Chinese men's basketball team is often the Asian champion. In this game, both sides attached great importance to it, and Yao Ming also went to the scene to watch the guidance.
In the final result, Australia naturally won, and won a lot of 107-87 defeated the Chinese men's basketball team, and got the expected victory. But for the Chinese men's basketball team, this is a valuable learning opportunity, and they have also shown their style, so to speak, out of the shadow of the previous defeat to the Macau Black Bears.
In the whole game, the Chinese men's basketball team's offense was extremely sharp and smooth, and the whole team scored very well, Yu Jiahao got 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Wang Lanqin got 20 points and 2 rebounds, Cheng Shuaipeng scored 10 points, and Liao Sanning scored 19 points.
Although we lost in the end, in the first quarter, we won by seven points. At half-time, we were just three points behind. In the third quarter, our physical strength slipped and the opponent launched a 23-1 attack wave, thus collapsing. In fact, this is mainly a matter of basic skills, and we believe that under the guidance of Guo Shiqiang, these problems will definitely be solved slowly.
Seeing such a Chinese men's basketball team, everyone praised Yao Ming and Guo Shiqiang. You know, when Djordjevic was in charge before, these players didn't get any chances. Now that Guo Shiqiang has been replaced, he has a discerning eye, and the young players he selected have played their own style, dare to fight, and everyone has played their own strengths. From this point of view, Guo Shiqiang is obviously more suitable for the Chinese men's basketball team than Djordjevic. It can be said that if the Chinese men's basketball team maintains such a state, it should not be difficult to return to the Olympic stage in the future.
