The short stature that was ridiculed by everyone in the world, in the face of the home whistle, was comparable to the predicament of 5 to 8, and played a shock that attracted the attention of the whole world! Let all those who love basketball feel their blood boiling!
The excitement and enthusiasm shown by the Japan team on this night far surpasses the plot of Yuhiko Inoue's slam dunk.
If the first three quarters, the Japan team mainly relied on the France team to change defenses, allowing Hachimura's low-post strong eating and naturalized center Hawkinson's long-range shooting to continue his life. Then in the fourth quarter, when Hachimura was evicted, when the whole world thought that the suspense of the game would be closed at any time, Kawamura seemed to bring our memories back to last summer.
Kawamura has previously said that his favorite guard now is Trae Young; And in Paris tonight, we do see Trey in him. Young's shadow. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kawamura Yonghui chose to take the initiative again and again to challenge the two-meter-16 Gobert and the two-meter-23 Wembanyama. Even in the end, under the opponent's targeted arrangement, Kawamura Yonghui's strong attack efficiency declined; But the world witnessed that a 1.72m player carried Japan's attack on his shoulders, which is the real Yayi control.
In the final stage of regular time, when France tried to attack the basket with the twin towers, the Japan team used their tenacious and bloody performance to give Wembanyama and Gobert big hats! The Japan team used the way the whole team contracted, protected the penalty area very well, and protected the backcourt rebound. With a huge height disparity, they only lost 8 rebounds, and their tenacity was awe-inspiring.
Japan put a pre-match match with an expected margin of about 20 points, and the victory was almost 98% in the pocket; And the magical 3+1 of the France team is largely thanks to the blessing of the home whistle (to emphasize my personal opinion, I don't think the final body hair whistle should be sounded).
It dragged to overtime, when Batum turned on the full-court man-marking against Kawamura Eiki, and when naturalized player Hawkins cramped off the field, the Japan team really couldn't play until the end; But even the bloody Japan team still dragged the game to the countdown stage with tenacious fighting spirit and won the respect of the host!
Although it lost, the performance of the Japan team in this game was magical enough, which brought tears to the eyes of the female fans of the Japan team at the scene, and I am afraid that it will also make countless Chinese fans sigh.
Since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, in the past 16 years, the Chinese men's basketball team has never played such a passionate game on the international stage.
Seeing the Japan team still showing a very high level of competition at the home whistle may also make many Chinese fans feel cold.
If you can break through from home last year, you still think that Japan has the home advantage. If the anxiety ahead of this game is because France underestimates the enemy. Then it was the second half; France has no reason to underestimate the enemy, and it is inconceivable that the Japan team, which has almost achieved the best of its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses, can still push the host into a desperate situation.
Trying hard to grab rebounds, breaking through the block and making decisive shots, such a Japan team that dominates the light of Asia, is pressing the Chinese men's basketball team to the ground and rubbing it in the air, and is pumping the face of the Chinese basketball fiercely.
When will we have another one, a dreamer like Yuta Watanabe and Yudai Baba, who give up a privileged life in China for the sake of their dreams?
Dare to fight, solid technology, and such a good combination of projection and passing, Kawamura Yonghui is our ideal Asian defender template. Ironically, if he lived in China, Kawamura's height doomed him to not be on the professional team at all. Even if he is now playing in the CBA as an outside aid, facing the opponent's scrubbing defense, and his teammates' no-ball habit of playing four looks, I am afraid that he will soon be labeled as a parallel import.
But on the international stage, his 3+1 that pulled back and turned around, no Chinese player can do it; And what we have more is to dribble for 18 seconds and throw the pot to the defender of the teammate.
Of course, what is even more ironic is that Kuai Zhun Ling was originally the specialty of the Chinese men's basketball team, but now the Chinese men's basketball team, is there still Zhu Ling?
When we lose our housekeeping skills and become the magic weapon of the Japan team to compete against strong teams in the Olympic Games, do you feel heartache?
Although the home whistle ruined a game that Japan basketball could blow for more than a decade, the Japan team brought us a passionate game, both after the young football players, the Japanese also brought the slam dunk masters into reality.
Thanks to the Japan team, all friends who care about Chinese basketball have completely woken up in the Olympic Games.
Chinese basketball is getting farther and farther away from world basketball, and we should no longer always think about whether to learn from United States, Serbia, or Spain; Our role models are all around us!
