"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, but despair is not the heart of a warrior." This sentence seems to have been given a different meaning in the just-concluded NBA Summer League game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Charlotte Hornets. 62:93, the cold number on the score board is not only an intuitive reflection of the strength of the two teams, but also a microcosm of the current situation of the Chinese men's basketball team - miserable, miserable, four words are enough to summarize the perception of this game.
Yang Hansen's honesty is like a mirror, reflecting the cruel truth of the current situation of the Chinese men's basketball team. His self-criticism, without evasion or prevarication, shows a young player's desire to win and a clear awareness of his own shortcomings.
This spirit of courage and responsibility is a precious asset for the future of Chinese basketball, and even in the current predicament, it also makes people see a glimmer of light. Basketball is a team sport that requires the joint efforts of every position and every player to gather into a strong fighting force.
Du Runwang's struggle is not only an abnormality in his personal ability, but also a microcosm of the Chinese men's basketball team's lack of experience and unstable mentality in the international arena. From the top of the CBA to the fringe of the international arena, this gap reminds us that the highlight performance of the domestic league is not directly equated with the competitiveness of the international stage.
How to help players cross this gap is a question that Chinese basketball needs to think about. And head coach Guo Shiqiang's employment strategy has caused widespread controversy. At critical moments, whether it should be more flexible, give more opportunities to young players, and make the team more diverse and dynamic has become the focus of heated discussions among fans.
The comprehensive suppression of the Hornets is not only a reflection of the technical advantage, but also a demonstration of team spirit and tactical literacy. Every pass, every run, every defense they made seemed so tacit and so efficient.
In contrast, the looseness and disorder of the Chinese men's basketball team is more like a group of individuals who fight alone, and they are powerless in the face of the opponent's tight defensive system. It's not just a matter of individual players, it's also a gap in the tactical system, the quality of training and even the cultural concept.
The heated discussion on social media is a reflection of the deep love that Chinese fans have for Chinese basketball. Their criticisms and doubts, although sharp, are full of expectations. What they want to see is no longer occasional flashes of light, but consistent and steady progress; What they desire is not only victory, but also the inheritance and development of the spirit of Chinese basketball.
These voices are the driving force for the progress of Chinese basketball, and they are also the source of strength that spurs the team to constantly innovate itself.
Looking back on the whole game, although the defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team is painful, it is more important to learn lessons from it and find a way forward.
We need to face up to the gap with the strong teams, start from the basics, start from the details, and comprehensively improve the overall strength of the team. At the same time, we should also give more trust and support to young players, so that they can grow rapidly on the international stage and become the future stars of Chinese basketball.
Finally, let's conclude with the words of Yang Hansen: "It was a terrible fight, but we will continue to work hard." It's a short but powerful statement. It tells us that in the face of failure and predicament, the Chinese men's basketball team did not choose to give up, but chose to persist and struggle.
It is this indomitable spirit that will lead Chinese basketball to a more brilliant tomorrow. Here, I also call on fans and friends to continue to support the Chinese men's basketball team, cheer for them with our enthusiasm and encouragement, and witness the rise and glory of Chinese basketball together!
The two games of the Chinese men's basketball team in the NBA Summer League undoubtedly sounded the alarm for fans. In the face of the huge gap with the world's strongest teams, Chinese basketball needs to do not only short-term technical and tactical adjustments, but also deep-level institutional reform and talent training model transformation.
Only by fundamentally solving the problem can we gradually narrow the gap with the world's basketball powers and regain the glory and glory of Chinese basketball. Although the road ahead is long and difficult, as long as we maintain confidence, have the courage to change, and persevere, I believe that Chinese basketball will be able to usher in a better tomorrow.
