Beijing On February 26, the World Cup qualifier, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Iranian men's basketball team 86-74, completing the final battle of the World Cup qualifier. In this game, the Chinese team Cui Yongxi and Zeng Fanbo The performance of young players is also concerned.
In this Chinese men's basketball team, the new coach Jorjevich selected young players such as Zeng Fanbo and Cui Yongxi, which injected new vitality into the national men's basketball team. Cui Yongxi, who failed to score a point in the national team's debut, quickly adjusted his status in this battle. He started for 25 minutes, hit 4 of 6 shots, got 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, plus or minus+9, and both sides of the attack and defense had good performances. And Zeng Fanbo, the high-profile player, also made his national team debut. He came on as a substitute for seven minutes, hit one of two shots, got four points and one rebound, and also received three fouls, with a positive and negative value of - 14 being the lowest in the game.
Cui Yongxi, who has super physical talent, is a young player appointed by Jorjevich, and also put him in the first team. Compared with his naivety in the first game, Cui Yongxi obviously dared to fight in this game. The first race, Zhou Qi Take the rebounds, Cui Yongxi, quickly answer, get Zhou Qi The quarterback's long pass completed the flying dunk, showing outstanding physical quality. In the third quarter of the game, Cui Yongxi and Zhou Qi once again had a tacit cooperation, cutting from the bottom line to catch Big Brother's pass and eating cake and dunking easily. Last game, Zhao Jiwei After the long pass, Cui Yongxi was alert to catch the ball and dunked it with both hands again. As a young player, Cui Yongxi is very clear about his position. As long as you are diligent enough and appear in the right place, there will always be good returns.
In contrast, Zeng Fanbo has obviously not found the match feeling of the national team. As a newcomer, Zeng Fanbo is very eager to play at the national team stage, and is also very active in fighting, but he still lacks tacit understanding with his teammates. In the game, Zeng Fanbo collided with Zhou Qi twice in rebounding and lost the rebounds.
At the same time, Zeng Fanbo still lacks experience. At the last moment of the last quarter, he came on as a substitute, but he sent out three fouls in a short time of 40 seconds, and even was caught pushing people under the eyes of the referee. Of course, this game is Zeng Fanbo's first national team show. I believe that he will play better and better as he slowly enters the stage.
