In the warm-up match that ended earlier, the Chinese U18 men's basketball team lost to Georgia 63:93.
First, the strength of the national youth men's basketball team and the men's basketball team's United States seven consecutive defeats have led to the topic that Chinese basketball may not be good when it is young.
The U17 national youth men's basketball team has just won the 13th place in the World Cup, which has allowed Chinese fans to really get to know Xun Sinan, Zhang Boyuan and Li Yuezhou.
In order to prepare for the U18 Asian Cup, Zhang Boyuan and Liu Li also skipped to the U18 national youth team, and against Serbia, the young outside of the national youth men's basketball team played vitality and completed the reversal with three-point shots.
The strong performance of the two national youth men's basketball teams has made the Chinese men's basketball team, which suffered 1 win and 10 losses this summer, and the United States has even decided to start a second training camp.
A very important reason is that compared with white and black, yellow people do have physical bottlenecks after the age of 18, which is irrefutable.
However, for Chinese basketball, from men's basketball to women's basketball, guards have all become the biggest shortcomings, which clearly shows that there are indeed huge problems in the selection of materials and youth training for Chinese basketball.
On the one hand, the deformed aesthetic of taking the big as the beauty and focusing on short-term results makes good dishes not served on the table.
On the other hand, the separation of sports and education and the involution of learning and employment have made excellent seedlings choose to say goodbye to basketball early from the beginning of their childhood.
Second, from Guo Shiqiang to Qu Shaobin, the small point guards of the Chinese men's basketball team have received more and more attention, which shows that fast and accurate spirit is the real future of Chinese basketball.
In the game against Serbia, Zhang Boyuan, who hit a three-pointer in the last moment, made the first reaction of old fans be the new Ding Yanyuhang.
But what Chinese fans are more excited about is the eye-catching performance of the back line, especially the Hongyuan three defenders of Yang Yi, Zhang Huafei and Chen Jiazheng, which can't help but remind people of Xu Jie, Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Rui.
The national youth men's basketball team's winding defense, quick conversion and divine three-point shooting made Qu Shaobin, the godfather of Guangdong youth training, officially come to the forefront.
In the past year or so, the biggest reason why the Chinese men's basketball team has continuously hit a wall is that Djordjevic, the basketball guard who is a big guard, has completely become an anti-dog after cutting his feet and landing on his face after being a toddler in Handan.
From Guo Shiqiang to Qu Shaobin, these stalwart local coaches love small point guards in the face of reality, which shows that fast and accurate spirit is the right path for Chinese basketball.
Third, the complete defeat of a basin of cold water in the head ripped off all the fig leafs of the national youth.
At the beginning of today, the Chinese team's offense stagnated, Yang Yi came out, and the offensive problem was slightly alleviated.
But the second stagnation that came soon, and even Zhang Boyuan's appearance did not help.
At the end of the first quarter, Georgia led 25:15, and the Chinese team was completely passive.
First, the inside line was indeed too thin and had to be finished with consecutive fouls, and if it weren't for the opponent's poor free throws of 5 of 12, the score would have been pulled apart.
Second, the collapse of the interior line allowed the opponent to get a lot of open space, so the opponent threw 4-of-5 three-pointers.
Third, the Chinese team's offense is unqualified, except for strong three-point shooting and single-handedness, there is basically no routine.
In the second quarter, as Georgia's outside defensive intensity increased further, the difference between the two teams continued to widen to 20 points.
scored only 27 points in the half, Qu Shaobin pouted off the court, the other party was indeed prepared, they found the traditional valve and seven inches of Chinese basketball.
The second half became garbage and training time, and the 30-point point difference hovered down all the fig leaf of Chinese basketball youth training.
Compared with European teams such as Serbia and Georgia, the overall national youth men's basketball team does need to be polished, although the continuous split dunk shows the physical talent of the new generation of men's basketball, but the Chinese team's defeat today gives people the feeling that it is a band with a lead singer and musician who walks the tone, leaving only the guitarist to play the flashy SOLO to cover up the ugliness.
What Chinese basketball needs most is still the envy of the pond, so it is better to retreat and close the net.
