WhenZhang ZhenlinWhen he used the air cut dunk to score two three-point shots and started the whole court shouting, he seemed to be back in the past in an instant.In a twinkling of an eye, four years later, the Chinese men's basketball team came to this stage again after leaving Yi Jianlian alone in the men's basketball team in Guangzhou on September 8, 2019, leaving countless regrets for the fans.Even in the past four years, the Chinese men's basketball team has missed for the first time since 1984Olympic Games；Even in the past two years, the Chinese men's basketball team has stumbled against opponents who once won easily with big scores;Even in the past year, both the CBA league itself and the domestic players have made countless chicken feathers;Even a month ago, the Chinese men's basketball team had the first naturalized player in history, and at the same time, it only turned out a 3-9 answer in the warm-up game;Even a week ago, in the face of the reporter's hasty question that "Serbia did not exert all its strength", the new foreign teacher Joe forcefully asked why.Realize that the past is not remonstrated, and know that the future can be pursued, or say... The smelly daughter-in-law will see her mother-in-law sooner or later.Before the game,Zhou QiAppear together with Luca Doncic, Taketa Watanabe and Jordan ClarksonWorld CupIn the promotional video, it appears in the warm-up poster of FIBA;And Lee Kyle was rated as the 27th player in this World Cup.All this shows that in Manila, a place that has carried too many memories of Chinese basketball since ten years ago, and in the basketball World Cup, a game with too many stories, Jorjevich and the Chinese men's basketball team started a new journey.As a game with huge strength gap, the focus is on whether the Chinese men's basketball team can respond to powerful opponents and show a dazzling state as the team whose goal is to win as much as possible in the group game.In fact, today's Chinese team almost played a perfect start. Zhou Qi did not play back to back with his traditional start, turning left to hook the start, but instead picked the ball from the right corner and scored directly from the middle distance.When Zhou Qi scored the first goal, Li Kaier and Zhao Rui opened at 45 ° and arc top respectivelyZhou PengAt the free throw line, Zhang Zhenlin was ready to cut in, waiting for the pass on the weak side and rushing to the board at any time - in the past warm-up games of the men's basketball team, this sense of movement on the weak side was rare.But as far as this game is concerned, it is not a fluke.In the subsequent round, it was Zhang Zhenlin who used Zhou Qi's cover to directly shoot three points into 3+1 - at the same time, Zhao Rui and Zhou Peng on the weak side formed a three point open position without the ball.Just like Zhang Zhenlin's dunk after receiving Zhou Qi's pass, the threat of players' running at the non ball end and the cooperation between high and low positions were the highlights of the Chinese men's basketball team at the beginning.These are the highlights of the Chinese men's basketball game.Later, the familiar Chinese team expected to arriveMaybe Joergevich has his idea. China's rotation is deep and fast. Soon almost the whole team went on the court and slipped around, but strangely, Cui Yongxi and Hu Jinqiu were temporarily hidden.At that time, I might think it was a strategy, but in any case, the effect of the second team of the men's basketball team was very poor, especially when Zhao Jiwei and Wang Zhelin played high and low positions together, which was really hotSo the difference soon opened... When Malinkovich threw three points into the open to catch up with the counter attack in the transition, the difference came to nearly double digits.In the first half, Bogdanovic was more of a bait on the offensive side. When Jovic and Milutinovic scored in a row, Serbia continued to make a point on the defensive side.As early as a week ago in the warm-up match, the Serbs proved that their strategy of high position pressing+unlimited exchange and defense pressing Lee Kyle is impossible for the Chinese men's basketball team to break through at present.This leads to the second question of the game: how does Lee Kyle use it?In fact, in the past competitions, Lee Kyle's use has always had some problems, but whether playing in Germany or New Zealand, Lee Kyle can solve problems with his own way.However, today, both the Chinese team and Lee Kyle were caught in the evil. The whole team seemed like a novice magician, who could not pronounce the "80! 80!" mantra to swing the sledgehammer while summoning the Great Demon King through all kinds of hardships (of course, playing Serbia Lee Kyle in the Unity Cup was also hard).In this game, Joergewicz pushed Lee Kyle to the first round (the first time), and put him in a more swinging way close to the number two or three positions, but perhaps due to the ankle injury a week ago;Maybe it was too much physical exertion in the high-intensity rush to break through Serbia, and Lee Kyle's performance at both ends of attack and defense seemed too bad.This is not only because he recreated the reserved program that the men's basketball court was empty before, but also because today his lateral movement was too slow - even he failed to find the right player in time in several offensive transitions.So the frightening situation happened: when Zhou Peng broke through the Serbian restricted area and passed the ball to the empty Zhou Qi, who scored in double figures, but Li Kyle only had three assists in the "Ben Simmons" type data.The Great Demon woke up to dominate the attack and defense, but it seemed that the sledgehammer with only one thigh had fallen asleep before... We could see the situation of the Chinese team's naturalized players perfectly integrated into the segmentation in the second place outside the football field.Just like the warm-up game, the game went into garbage time early in the second half.Yes, we can't deny the highlights of the Chinese men's basketball team in this game.Whether it is the continuous running of players from the weak side to the basket, or the passing and cutting cooperation at high and low positions (even though Zhao Jiwei and Wang Zhelin really played in the third quarter), this is a progress of the Chinese men's basketball team on the basis of the original tactics.At the same time, even though Hu Mingxuan, who was hot in the warm-up game, was not in good condition, Zhao Rui still continued the hot state of the last warm-up game, and can be called the best defender of the Chinese team - not to mention Zhou Qi, whom he changed alone not long ago, also played well today.
Zhao Rui scored 17 points, which is a good signal
However, it seems like self consolation to put it here, because in the other group game just now, Sudan and Puerto Rico experienced a ups and downs of the game before and after comparison, we will find that it is also difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve a victory in the group game:
If faced with South Sudan, which is good at physical confrontation, the substitutes of the Chinese men's basketball team who have no scores in double figures will be a big cover after the loss of main strength;If facing Puerto Rico, which has excellent offensive ability, how to break the opponent's screen at the defensive end and withstand high position closing at the offensive end will become another big problem.At the same time, Lee Kyle was too depressed and consumed too much money with the ball;The Chinese men's basketball team will make intermittent mistakes if it leaves Lee Kyle to control the ball;They can only make sporadic use of high and low position coordination, but can't make an easy fast break and fast empty cut of the defense opponent... These will be the problems of the next two group games.A digression is that Lee Kyle's face was full of reluctance when he was on the bench in the third quarter. Jolkovich replaced him in the last quarter to try to make him find his form, but Lee Kyle still didn't score and even became very serious when he played - this is the first time since he joined the national team.Perhaps, at this time, he realized that this was a particularly severe test for domestic players, coaches and naturalized players.PS: The 42 points lost by the Chinese team today is the biggest difference in a single game since the World Cup began
