Although United States futsal is unique in the world, it does not mean that United States basketball is dominant in any field.
For example, in 3x3 basketball, so far in the Olympics United States both men's and women's teams have won and won all of them.
After losing 14-22 to Serbia, United States men's 3x3 basketball lost 17-19 to Poland.
The United States women's team lost 15-17 to Australia, KD came to the scene with a smile before the game, and looked confused after the game.
Of course, it is undeniable that this is the reason why United States does not attach importance to 3x3 basketball.
For example, in the men's team, the players who are put on the line-up are Cannon Barry, Dimmer Fredette, Karim Maddox and Dylan Travis.
Except for the lonely god, I have never heard of anyone else's name, and there is not a single active NBA player.
After seeing the embarrassment of 3x3 basketball at the Paris Olympics, the United States Basketball Association may really pay attention.
From now on, we may see active NBA players appearing in 3x3 basketball.
There are so many local talents in the NBA, and picking a few of them is enough to dominate three-a-side basketball like five-a-side basketball and strengthen the weakest link of United States basketball.
Let's talk about the Chinese team, after the big upset defeat to Serbia, the outside world paid unprecedented attention to men's 3x3 basketball.
Unfortunately, the Chinese team failed to continue the momentum of beating Serbia, and recently lost 8-22 to defending champions Latvia.
Zhang Ning played poorly in this game, hitting only 3 of 11 shots, including 1 of 4 one-pointers and 2 of 7 two-pointers, scoring 6 points and 4 boards.
In other words, one of the points that everyone is more curious about is why the Chinese team did not recruit Hu Jinqiu for the Paris Olympics.
In the 21st Tokyo Olympics 3x3 basketball, Hu Jinqiu is the existence of the big devil, and the total score can rank second among all participating players.
If the Chinese team can form an internal and external combination of Hu Jinqiu + Zhang Ning, it may really be able to impact the medal of 3x3 basketball at the Paris Olympics.
It is worth mentioning that during the World Cup last year, when the then Chinese men's basketball coach Djordjevic talked about why he abandoned Hu Jinqiu, the reason given was that Hu Jinqiu's habit of playing 3x3 basketball was not applicable to 5x2......
However, Qiao Shuai still swallowed the above words back, and Hu Jinqiu became the best inside line for him to coach the Chinese men's basketball team.
Finally, continue to bless Chinese 3x3 basketball, they are more hopeful and worthy of respect than 5x3 basketball!
