In the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team took the lead in scores. Although the Australian men's basketball team was able to narrow the gap, it was still difficult to tie. At the beginning, the Chinese men's basketball team made active preparations on both the offensive and defensive ends. In contrast, the Australian men's basketball team has experienced ups and downs in shooting percentage. This game is like a rising and falling existence.

2. Hu Mingxuan was completely alive.

In this game, Hu Mingxuan only played 21 minutes, not the player with the most playing time in the team, but with his shooting feel, Hu Mingxuan scored the highest score of 26 points in the team, plus three rebounds, three assists, and also contributed a block. He made 7 of 10 shots in the whole game, and his performance on three-pointers was even more eye-catching, with 7 shots and 5 hits.

Hu Mingxuan brought a lot of foul pressure to his opponent. He got 7 free throws by himself. However, 7 free throws were made and 7 hits were made. The free throw shooting percentage reached 100%, and from this we can see that Hu Mingxuan was in a very hot state throughout the game.

3. Rebounding is not inferior.

At the momentum, according to the statistics of the Asian Basketball League, the Australian men's basketball team averaged 10 more rebounds per game than the Chinese men's basketball team. Under such circumstances, the Australian men's basketball team can get more second offensive opportunities. However, in this game, according to post-match statistics, the Chinese men's basketball team scored 32 rebounds, while the Australian men's basketball team scored 36. There is only 4 rebounds.

In the first half statistics, the Chinese men's basketball team's rebounding was higher than that of the Australian men's basketball team. Everyone should know that the Australian men's basketball team is tall and big, and has a tough physical confrontation. It is not easy for the Chinese men's basketball team to grab rebounds in their hands and not lose their disadvantages.

During the Asian Cup schedule, the Australian men's basketball team's proud three-pointer was hit by the Chinese men's basketball team. In this game, Cheng Shuipeng hit two three-pointers, Wang Junjie hit one, Hu Mingxuan hit five, and Raymond hit one.

5, the winner is decided in the last second.

Before the game, many fans predicted that it would be good for the Chinese men's basketball team to lose less than 10 points, but they never expected that the Chinese men's basketball team would only lose one point to their opponents in this game, and the winner was decided in the last second. In the post-match interview, Hu Jinqiu expressed his regret. Until the interview ended, I was still immersed in this regret. It is not difficult to see from this point that the Chinese men's basketball team can beat their opponents, but their luck is slightly worse.

Let’s look at 4 indisputable facts.

1. The three-point shooting percentage is comparable

According to post-match statistics, the Australian men's basketball team made 8 of 24 three-pointers, and the Chinese men's basketball team made 9 of 27 shots.

2. There are many mistakes.

In this game, especially in the first quarter, Zhao Rui contributed two mistakes, allowing the Australian men's basketball team to seize the opportunity to overtake. Throughout the entire game, the Chinese men's basketball team made a total of 11 mistakes. The Australian men's basketball team only made 6 mistakes.

3. The opponent is physically in good health.

In the last three minutes of the 4th quarter, the head coach replaced Hu Jinqiu and did not send Yu Jiahao to form a double tower formation. Through the rebounding battle, Hu Jinqiu's physical fitness fluctuated roughly. He faced the opponent's 2 to 3 players at the last moment and failed to defend the rebound. According to the post-match statistics, Hu Jinqiu is the player with the longest playing time among Chinese men's basketball players, with a total game of 27 minutes and 52 seconds. This game is a huge test for Hu Jinqiu's physical fitness.

4. Chinese men's basketball players have more balanced skills.

In this game, 9 players from the 12-man roster of Chinese men's basketball players scored, and all 12 players appeared on the court. On the other hand, for the Australian men's basketball team, only 10 players played in the whole game, and only 7 players scored points. Two of the players played for more than 30 minutes. Therefore, it is not difficult to see through the data that the Australian men's basketball team is more inclined to the ability of individual stars, while the Chinese men's basketball team is blooming in full swing.

Although the Chinese men's basketball team only won the runner-up in this game, this result is acceptable because everyone really tried their best to show the spirit of the Chinese men's basketball team and the valuable spirit of the Chinese men's basketball team to dare to draw their swords. There is no Zhou Qi in the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team, and no Yang Hansen who competes in the NBA. If these players join, I believe that the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team will be higher.
