The Chinese men s basketball team beat Venezuela, and there are four major surprises hidden behind it! Xinjiang men s basketball team wins

On July 24, a men's basketball warm-up match just ended. The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Venezuela 77-49 with the huge advantage established in the first half.

Venezuela ranks 25th in the world, and the Chinese men's basketball team ranks 30th. These two teams have faced each other five times in previous World Championships, but the Chinese men's basketball team has never won.

This time, Venezuela is not the main players, and the core players of the Chinese men's basketball team: Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, and powerful forward teams: Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Zhenlin, and Cui Yongxi did not participate in this warm-up match.

The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Venezuela, and the four hidden surprises were fully reflected in this game:

Surprise 1: The tough defense throughout the entire game, the Chinese men's basketball team showed a very good competitive state, especially on the defensive end, and the defensive energy displayed is worthy of praise.

Although it is not tall enough, strong confrontation and strong strength have always been the main characteristics of South American teams. But in this game, the Chinese men's basketball team defended Venezuela's three-pointer to only 3 of 20 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 15%. Moreover, Venezuela only scored 9 points in the second and fourth quarters!

In modern basketball, in pursuit of the ultimate three-pointer, the Chinese men's basketball team has such excellent outside defense capabilities. In this Asian Cup, if you meet teams such as Japan and South Korea, the Chinese men's basketball team will also have full confidence in defending their three-pointers!

Surprise 2: Young players performed more than expected

In this training camp, Guo Shiqiang reused potential young players. People like Peng Shuaicheng, Yu Jiahao, Wang Junjie and others have obtained a lot of playing time in this game. And these young people dare to play and shoot, and show the momentum of a new generation of men's basketball team.

Among them, Cheng Shuipeng scored 14 points and 3 assists, and Wang Junjie scored 8 points and 4 rebounds. Especially Yu Jiahao, after leaving the national team for a while, Yu Jiahao, who successfully lost weight, performed far beyond expectations on both offense and defense. In this game, I scored 13 points and 8 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds, and had excellent franchise protection. Yu Jiahao can completely replace: Wang Zhelin's position in the national team in the past!

Surprise three: The three-point shooting percentage of the three-pointers of China's men's and women's basketball teams has always been a serious criticism. Especially for the men's basketball team, since top pitchers such as Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng retired, there has never been a player who has made excellent shooting in international arenas.

Although Wu Qian, Fang Shuo and Zhao Yanhao have made good three-pointers in the CBA, they cannot play at all when they are in the international arena.

In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team's three-point shooting rate was accurate. Not only did they defend Venezuela's three-point shooting rate to only 15%, they could also shoot 43.4% of three-point shooting rate! In the past, this was difficult to see in the men's basketball team.

Perhaps, coach Guo Shiqiang integrated Gong Luming's "10,000 shot plan" in advance.

Surprise 4: Guo Shiqiang can score 90 points in this game

Guo Shiqiang has been taking over the Chinese men's basketball team for a year. Judging from the deployment of troops in this game, Guo Shiqiang has basically grasped the situation of the Chinese men's basketball team. Many small details of the competition were well grasped.

Especially in the third quarter, with dozens of seconds left in the game, the two consecutive application challenges demonstrated Guo Shiqiang's pursuit of game details. Moreover, the use of captain Zhao Rui was very moderate, and Zhao Rui only made him play for 13 minutes.

Another thing that must be mentioned is that seeing Zhao Rui's performance, I have to say: Xinjiang team won a lot!

Although Zhao Rui was in the Xinjiang team last season, he was unable to help the team go further due to injury. But the healthy Zhao Rui is undoubtedly still the core guard of the Chinese men's basketball team and the only double-athlete defender of the Chinese men's basketball team!

In this game, Zhao Rui only played for 13 minutes, efficiently scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, including 3 of 4 three-pointers. It was Zhao Rui who helped the team in the first half that he had the more confident other players in the second half.

Xinjiang fans can rest assured that Zhao Rui has recovered completely now. He is one of the players he needs to rely on most in this men's basketball Asian Cup.

The opponent in the next warm-up match of the Chinese men's basketball team is still Venezuela, and the game will be held at 19:30 p.m. on July 25.
