With Hu Mingxuan's three-pointer at the buzzer, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated La Liga team Juventute 65-62, ending the previous record of 11 consecutive defeats in warm-up games with a hard-won victory, and also drew an end to this summer's training camp. The players have returned to their respective clubs one after another to prepare for the new season of the CBA League, which will start on October 12, and the Chinese men's basketball team still has many problems to solve.
Since Guo Shiqiang replaced Djordjevic as head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team this summer, the team has only won one win in the internal training match against the Macau Black Bears on June 30, and has not won any of its 11 games since then, ending this embarrassing record with Juventute. According to statistics, the Chinese men's basketball team did not score more than 70 points in 9 of the 13 warm-up games this summer, and only scored 42 points in a single game. In the two warm-up games with Juvent, the Chinese men's basketball team scored 65 points, of which the three-point shooting rate was only 22%, and only 9 three-pointers were made in the two games, and the free throw shooting rate was only 70%. With just 18 assists and 30 turnovers in the two games, the team's attacking system still needs to be polished.
Guo Shiqiang said: "I put forward two goals with the whole team, in the future, if our national team wants to win the game in the World Series, the first offensive shot is close to 70 times, and the second score is more than 80 points, so that we can have a chance to win the game." "The Chinese men's basketball team only took 52 and 57 shots in these two games, and scored only 65 points, which is obviously far from what the coaching staff envisioned. It is a long process to make a qualitative leap, and the Chinese men's basketball team still has to work hard, Guo Shiqiang said: "Although we are still far from this goal, our team must work towards the goal and get close to it." ”
This is the end of the Chinese men's basketball team's training camp this summer, and the players have returned to their respective clubs to prepare for the new season of the CBA League. In the two phases of intensive training, the Chinese men's basketball team adheres to the scientific training principle of "three from one big", so that the players are familiar with the team's tactical play, offensive and defensive systems and principles, constantly improve their physical fitness, and prepare for the Asian Cup qualifiers in advance. The coaching staff felt that the players were pretty much up to the mark.
According to the schedule of the CBA League, after the 10 rounds of the regular season, the first window will be ushered in. The Chinese men's basketball team will play the Asian Cup qualifiers against Guam and Mongolia on November 21 and November 24 respectively. These two games do not pose any challenges or difficulties for the Chinese men's basketball team, and the real big test is the Asian Cup qualifier against Japan in February next year. At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team will sit at home to face Japan. In the second round of the Asian Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 73-76 to Japan away, ending the 88-year unbeaten record against the opponent.
Guo Shiqiang once said that the short-term goal of the Chinese men's basketball team is the two Asian Cup windows in the near future, the medium-term goal is the Asian Cup finals next year, the Asian Games the year after next and the six windows of the 2027 World Cup, and the ultimate goal is the 2027 World Cup finals, which is related to the ticket to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The Chinese men's basketball team will strive to play against the world's top teams in the future training camp, so as to find problems and find gaps, "In the future, we will still have to combine competition and practice, train for a period of time and play a few warm-up games, and then summarize the problems." A game of this intensity and a game of this pace like this summer is what we lacked. It's not often that we play against international teams before and this kind of intensity is exactly what we need as a young team. ”
