In the warm-up game between the men's basketball team and Australia on July 2, Beijing time, the first quarter of this game was a huge surprise, we were resolute on the offensive end, and the opponent's defensive intensity did not match, which also allowed us to win by 7 points in a single quarter. However, in the second quarter, the score plummeted due to high-intensity dumb fire, and there was still trouble in the defense in the third quarter. In the end, Australia scored three consecutive points to open up the difference, and finally the men's basketball team lost to Australia 87-107, but it was already good.
Even so, the performance of the big four players is still remarkable. Yu Jiahao can stabilize his advantage on the inside. Because the inside line of this game is almost relying on him to dominate the inside and outside lines. On the offensive end, he was 6 of 6 in the first half and scored 14 points in the game, even if there was a gap in the confrontation, but he could still rely on soft tactics to put the ball in, and score with his back, which was a surprise. He has continued to prove himself, but rebounding and defense still need to be strengthened.
At the same time, both defenders are also giving substantial help. Especially for Liao Sanning, in the case of Australia's continuous improvement of defense, Liao Sanning can score consecutive points in the third quarter, whether it is three points or breakthroughs, he can score in various ways, and this wave of special training in the United States is very big for his improvement. scored 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the game, which is the absolute core of the guard line, which is too inexplicable.
Wang Lanyan was also a big surprise. He didn't have much status before, but in this game he was very clear in his thinking on the pitch and very clear in his tactical execution. Especially when it comes to three-point shooting, he can also keep it up. He scored 20 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field.
And Jiao Poqiao's performance is not bad. He can block opponents on the defensive end, he can score difficult goals on the offensive end, and he can be a good substitute. He scored 6 points on 2-of-3 shooting, which can barely be watched.
It's just that Cheng Shuaipeng still hasn't adapted to the intensity. With 3 steals from a high post defense while holding the ball, and a poor three-point shooting percentage, he had better give up as soon as possible, he couldn't help the team.
