The Chinese men s basketball team lost with one point, Liu Yuanjing smiled: "It s very different" from previous years, find yourself

In the early morning of August 18, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Australian men's basketball team with one point and won the runner-up in the Asian Cup. Even though they were defeated, they were still honored! After the final, the coach laughed, the players laughed, and the fans laughed...

On August 18, in an interview, Liu Yuanjing, the former mentor of the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the 77-year-old former head coach of the Liaoning Youth Men's Basketball Team, also laughed, "This is the best Chinese men's basketball team in ten years! It is 'very different' from previous years'. It has a new mental outlook, and its tactical style is in line with the world trend. New players and veterans are united and find themselves. This is what the national team should be."

Guo Shiqiang led the team to play "different spirit"

" a team Whether there is cohesion and whether the potential of each player is stimulated is the key. "Liu Yuanjing believes that Guo Shiqiang is the number one hero for the Chinese men's basketball team to regain confidence and find themselves. "The first few head coaches of the Chinese men's basketball team failed to stimulate the true strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the team's fighting spirit is difficult to satisfy. Guo Shiqiang said that the most important principle for him to choose a person is to be able to work hard and dare to play hard. In fact, every player of the Chinese men's basketball team played hard after playing in this Asian Cup and played a different spirit. "

Whether it can stimulate the subjective initiative of the players is an important criterion for measuring whether a head coach is excellent. Liu Yuanjing said: "Zhao Rui was troubled by injuries for a long time and performed poorly in the league and national team. However, in this Asian Cup, he performed at such a high level and became the number one hero in the semi-finals to defeat New Zealand. He himself said that it was the coach Guo who talked to him many times and made him regain his confidence. There is also Hu Mingxuan, who did not score a single point in the first two games, but Guo Shiqiang still used people in the finals and gave him full trust, making him the best in the team in the finals."

Liu Yuanjing also specifically mentioned Gao Shiyan: "Before the game, many people questioned Guo Why Shiqiang chose Gao Shiyan, who lacks scoring ability, the game gave the answer. Gao Shiyan's "biting" close-fitting tough defense is crucial to the Chinese men's basketball team. Without his close control of the key guards of the Korean men's basketball team, New Zealand men's basketball team, and Australian men's basketball team, it would be difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve the current results."

insist on team basketball

playing "different good tactics"

In addition to the mental outlook, the biggest change of this Chinese men's basketball team is to keep up with the world trend, play advanced skills and tactics, and truly interpret team basketball. Liu Yuanjing said: "Everyone can see that the Chinese men's basketball team's offense and defense speed is very fast. The defense is aimed at people, substitutions, supplementary defense, and assisted defense. The players are willing to be physically close and confront. On the offense, they pass quickly, break through quickly, and take quick moves when they have a chance without hesitation. This changes a lot from the previous standing style of the Chinese men's basketball team. They no longer blindly pursue tallerness, but emphasize the team cooperation, high-speed rotation, and the success rate of offense and defense in confrontation. The Chinese men's basketball team scored 600 points in each game in the intercontinental competition in the past few years, but the average score of nearly 90 points per game in this Asian Cup, which is the embodiment of efficient offense and defense."

Speaking of another major change in the Chinese men's basketball team, Liu Yuanjing said bluntly: "The shooting percentage of the players has significantly improved. In the previous intercontinental competition, the Chinese men's basketball team's free throw shooting percentage was more than 60%, and three The shooting percentage of the ball is more than 20%, which is too low. In this Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team's shooting percentage is 49.1%, the free throw percentage is 80.3%, and the three-point shooting percentage is 39.9%, ranking first among the 16 participating teams in all three data. The significant improvement in shooting ability makes me most gratified. Solid basic shooting skills are the heirloom of Chinese basketball. In this Asian Cup, we have found it back. Behind this is the embodiment of the scientific training of this Chinese men's basketball."

The newcomer performed well

The newcomer showed "different new vitality"

Due to injuries and other reasons, seven main players missed the Chinese men's basketball team. Guo Shi was brave enough to use new players, Wang Junjie, Liao Sanning and other newcomers lived up to expectations and performed well, and Liu Yuanjing praised the young Chinese men's basketball team for new vitality. "Of the 12 players of this Chinese men's basketball team, only 3 have participated in the Asian Cup, and 9 have no experience in intercontinental competitions. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, especially the 20-year-old Wang Junjie, who is calm in the face of danger and dares to fight. His playing style is modern, his difficult turn and jump shots are so beautiful, and he also has singles at the basket, with high shooting percentages and three-point shooting, and he can launch attacks at any position. This is his biggest feature. On the defensive end, his blocking area is large and his rebounding ability is good."

Liu Yuanjing also mentioned Liao Sanning, "This player has good skills, fast breakthrough speed, and his performance is eye-catching. Compared with the Australian men's basketball team, he has a good blocking area and good rebounding ability."

Liu Yuanjing also mentioned Liao Sanning, "This player has good skills, fast breakthrough speed, and his performance is very eye-catching. Compared with the Australian men's basketball team In the final stage of the game, he had a breakthrough and had already shaken off the defense but failed to invest. If he made the shot, the game would probably be another result. Of course, facing a world-class team like the Australian Men's Basketball Team, he could perform so well in the first time in the competition. Several newcomers have done a good job."

Liu Yuanjing said bluntly: "This Chinese Men's Basketball Team has not concentrated the best players. When the NBA players return and injured players return, the team will continue to polish under the leadership of Guo Shiqiang. In time, when the Chinese Men's Basketball Team plays in the World Cup and Olympics with the strongest lineup, the future is promising! "
