Three consecutive wins qualify for the first time, the Chinese men s basketball team showed three major changes, Guo Shiqiang is stronger than Du Feng

Men's Basketball Team Asian Cup, because the main lineup lacks Zhou Qi, Zeng Fanbo, Yang Hansen and other players, the Chinese men's basketball team was not favored before the game. However, after three group matches, the new Chinese men's basketball team still brought surprises to fans and won the first place in the group three consecutive victories. The last time the Chinese men's basketball team scored this result was traced back to the Asian Championships ten years ago. 2015 Changsha Asian Championships: At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated South Korea, Jordan and Singapore respectively to lock in the first place in the group. But compared with the Chinese men's basketball team back then, the Chinese men's basketball team has undergone gratifying changes.

First of all, the improvement of scoring ability. This trip to West Asia is not friendly to the Chinese men's basketball team. It was far from being taken care of by the referee in various ways. In the first match against the host Saudi team, the Lebanese referee almost made a shot. However, while stabilizing his emotions, the Chinese men's basketball team did not suffer much impact on the offensive end and still maintained a stable firepower output, scoring 93 points in the first game. This also laid the offensive foundation for the next two games.

In the second game, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the weakest opponent in the group, the Indian team. Most of the time, the main lineup played in the first two quarters. Even so, the Chinese men's basketball team still scored 100 points, with stable offensive firepower. Comprehensive suppression. The third Indian brothers had no room for fight back.

In the third game, facing the Jordan team, the strongest group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team opened fire at the beginning and played a 17-0 attack wave of the opponent. Although some of the players led by Yu Jiahao in the substitute lineup were in poor condition, they all lost their offense and defense. This resulted in a little twists and turns in the content, but in the end, the Chinese men's basketball team still scored 90 points through the efforts of the second half.

Average 94 points per game in three games, which is rare in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball team's offense has improved their naked eyes.

The second outside shooting has steadily increased

Although the Chinese men's basketball team's three-pointers improved significantly in the warm-up match, the majority of fans who have been deeply harmed by the Chinese men's basketball team's three-pointer iron still do not optimistic about their stable output. But after three group matches, when the Chinese men's basketball team's three-point shooting rate really maintained above 40%, the surprise came as expected. In three group matches, the first match between Saudi Arabia, the team made 8 of 22 three-pointers and a shooting percentage of 36.4%. Although it seems not very good, it is not easy for the Chinese men's basketball team. But in the second game, our three-pointer turned into a perfect long-range strike, making 15 of 28 three-pointers in the game, and the shooting percentage reached a terrifying 53.6%. With such terrifying outside firepower, no wonder the Indian team raised their hands early to surrender. In the third game, facing the Jordan team, which has the best outside defense, the Chinese men's basketball team made 12 of 31 shots, with a shooting percentage of 38.7%. With this stable three-point output, Jordan's defensive system was completely disrupted. And finally won a big victory.

The third free throw line has made significant progress. After three games, the Chinese men's basketball team's free throw shooting rate averaged 75% and 50 free throws of 67 free throws. On the surface, this shooting rate is not particularly outstanding, but if Hu Jinqiu's accidental free throw was 2 of 9 free throws, and he dragged it back a little, then if the Chinese men's basketball team's free throw in this Asian Cup was not Hu Jinqiu's accident, the shooting rate would reach 80%. This should be an excellent transcript.

In the past, the Chinese men's basketball team had two major problems, one was a three-pointer and the other was a free throw. Now these two problems have basically been solved.

Guo Shiqiang made an indelible contribution to the progress of this year's Chinese men's basketball team. Although he has been criticized for his team selection, his human relationships are more obvious. But this is a common problem for domestic local coaches, and nepotism is the inheritance of local coaches.

But in the overall construction of the Chinese men's basketball team, he is far better than his predecessors, especially after taking over the team for the second time, Guo Shiqiang obviously got rid of the shackles of thinking. These changes in the Chinese men's basketball team are essentially because the Chinese men's basketball team is gradually getting out of the dilemma of building behind closed doors. With the appearance of modern basketball, the offensive speed has increased, and it is rare for guards to dribble the ball and wait and see. More often than establishing the core of the offensive and defensive system with the front line, no longer obsessed with traditional inside singles, steadily improving outside shooting, etc., all of which give the Chinese men's basketball team a refreshing feeling.

You can compare Guo Shiqiang and Du Feng. Both like to use three defenders, but Du Feng is obsessed with the little one and likes Xu Jie and Zhao Jiwei. Guo Shiqiang is obsessed with hard work, using Zhao Rui, Cheng Shuipeng, and Gao Shiyan at the lowest. Du Feng is obsessed with Du Runwang on the front line and is determined. But Guo Shiqiang focused his attention on young players, using Zhao Jiayi as Wang Junjie.

To put it simply, Du Feng wished to move the entire Guangdong team to the national team. Guo Shiqiang also appointed a nepotism but was definitely not so arrogant.
