In the peak matchup between Japan men's basketball and Brazil in the men's basketball group stage of the Paris Olympics that just ended tonight, the Brazil men's basketball team defeated Japan 102-84, while the Japan team suffered three consecutive defeats in the group stage and missed the Olympic men's basketball quarterfinals in advance! According to the full-court performance and post-game statistics, the Japan team's side, the first three quarters can also play back and forth with the Brazil team, but in the fourth quarter, it completely collapsed, and was taken away by the Brazil team in a wave to win, 25-11 in a single quarter, Japan lost 14 points, no way, hard power is not as good as others!
On the Brazil side, the best player today was Caboclo, who played 29 minutes, shot 13 of 19, scored a game-high 33 points and 17 boards, incarnated Durant, and became the biggest contributor to Brazil's victory! In addition, Bennett and Huertas scored 19 and 13 points respectively to help Brazil defeat Japan in one fell swoop!
And on the side of the Japan team, today's biggest flaw is that the main player Hachimura can't play, he missed this life-and-death battle because of injury, so that the strength of the Japan team is seriously frustrated, if Hachimura can play tonight, it is estimated that he can really win Brazil, although he lost, but the performance of two players in the Japan team is worthy of recognition, they are Hawkinson and Kawamura Yuki, Hodkinson played 35 minutes today, 8 of 13 shots, including 5 of 6 three-pointers, and efficiently cut 26 points and 10 boards, while Kawamura Yuki played 30 minutes, 19 shots 7, He had 21 points and 10 assists, and Yuta Watanabe and Yudai Baba scored 14 points, 9 rebounds and 11 points, respectively.
But no way, if the Japan team did not have naturalized player Hawkinson tonight, it is estimated that it would have lost a long time ago, Kawamura Yuki is not as divine as the legend, it seems that the Chinese men's basketball team does not have to be discouraged, the Japan team is not as strong as imagined, their rise depends on naturalized players, on the strength of local players, the Chinese team can still hang Japan!
Some fans said that the Japan team only scored 11 points in the final quarter tonight, full staff, only defense + shooting skills package + two short guards can dribble, after Hachimura does not play, no player can control the ball, the strong team really when he is the opponent respects, targeted defense, directly collapsed, it seems that it is nothing more than that, the light of Asia was beaten back to its original shape tonight!
