Lao Qiao commanded China’s second battle in men’s basketball, first suppressed and then promoted, and finally won 86-74.
Failed in the first half and got full marks in the second half.
The biggest difference between the upper and lower half is that the outside line liberates the hands and feet and no longer relies on internal attacks. With strong defensive support, the Chinese team first frozen the Iranian team’s outside shooting, then dared to shoot outside, speeding up the conversion speed, and finally released the offensive energy in the second half of the third quarter, after chasing 57-57 at 4 minutes 48 seconds, the score was opened all the way, leading up to 15 points at most.
The key to this change was Zhao Jiwei, who was the first to take the initiative to attack and used the excellent transduction ball to mobilize the outside fire of the Chinese team. Finally, he scored 12 points and assisted 8 times, the positive and negative value of the whole team +21 is the highest, and the efficiency value +16 is the third in the whole team.
Another key figure is also the defender, who was Wu Qian, the pitcher who was elected as MVP. Last time Du Feng led the team to play Iran, Wu Qian also participated in the team and started the game, scoring 13 points, plus or minus +3. This time Wu played a substitute before, and played 4 minutes less, but he scored 18 points, plus or minus +15, and the efficiency value +23 was the first in the team.
The principle of Old Joe’s team formation is that the lineup is high and the inside line is forward, but why are the two most beautiful sections played from the defender?
The reason is that the Chinese men’s basketball cannot be shot, that is, the shooting is not good, and several links related to shooting-China investment center, tossing and free throws are not good.
The biggest change in Old Joe’s selection this time was the increase in the height of the front line. At the same time, he left qualified defenders: Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin, Zeng fanbo, Zhu Xuhang and Zhu Junlong. The defenders also chose those who were tall and capable of defending: Cui Yongxi, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Cheng Shuai. The exceptions are Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen, two core players of ball control, and Wu Qian, the pitcher known as China Curry.
After the average height increased, Hu Jinqiu’s use of the Chinese team in Iran’s World War I changed, making him the center of the second group, which was not seen before.
The requirement of old Joe is that when the shield is removed, the center and the forward can be mentioned and pressed. In fact, it is in line with the international trend, that is, it can be infinitely relieve a garrison. In the second half of the war between China and Iraq, these big men successfully met the requirements, making it difficult for the Iranian team to shoot comfortably.
In the first half, the Iranian team scored 5 in the 12th three-pointer, so the Chinese team played very passively. You should know that when they played for the first time, the Iranian team only scored 3 out of 11, and their three-point shooting rate in FIFA World Cup qualification was only 5.6 out of 20.
After the adjustment of defense, the Iranian team scored 1 in the 14th three-pointer in the second half.
In terms of attack, Old Joe is familiar with the Chinese team, so there is a process.
First of all, the three-point goal of the Chinese team is not good, which is not truly reflected by CBA. The three points he picked were all good, such as Zeng fanbo, Zhu Xuhang, Zhang Zhenlin and Zhou Peng. However, the strength of CBA was not comparable to that of China and Iraq, so it did not play the expected three points in FIFA World Cup qualification. Du Feng used the very successful Gu Quan, and old Joe might worry that his defense could not meet the requirements.
Therefore, Zhao Jiwei and Wu Qian’s three-point decisive shot saved the second half of the Chinese team. Wu Qian’s height is very easy to be targeted during the defense, but Wu Qian took out the kind of hard work when playing in Chouzhou, Zhejiang, and unexpectedly did not suffer any losses. When attacking, he even took out the spirit of MVP.
Generally speaking, the Chinese team’s forwards in these two games failed in three aspects: Zhou Peng, Zhu Xuhang, Zhu Junlong and Zhang Zhenlin in the first battle, Zeng fanbo, Zhou Peng, zhu Xuhang and Zhang Zhenlin add up to 8 middle and 3, of which only Zhang Zhenlin’s 3 middle and 2 are good.
The striker has no 3 D, but meets the requirements of defense, and the projection is far from qualified.
If it weren’t for the two defenders in the second half to act decisively, Old Joe might regret it and didn’t sign up for Guo Allen in the second.
We know that Zhou Qi and Zhao Jiwei are perfect matches. In fact, Guo Allen and Hu Jinqiu can also cooperate quite well. Especially after Hu Jinqiu changed to No. 5, he could take advantage of Allen’s breakthrough threat, combined with the next threat of autumn harvest. Guo Allen is good at fighting chaos, like the scene of the first half against the wind, which is most suitable for Allen to break the deadlock.
However, the decisive use of Cui Yongxi in these two battles made the tall defender, who was less than 20 years old, quickly adapt to the international competition. He didn’t score in the first battle, which was widely questioned, but he played very well without a ball against Iran. During the defense, his 25cm wide hand was even more troublesome for his opponent. The growth of Cui Yongxi posed a challenge to Zhao Rui, and the competition on position 2 became more intense.
After the two games were played on FIFA World Cup qualification, we had a preliminary understanding of Old Joe’s thinking and enabled the newcomers Cui Yongxi and Zeng fanbo (jiao poqiao was registered first and did not enter the rotation), it has established the basic characteristics of the high level of the national team forward, and also put several questions on the table:
First, improving shooting stability and penalty accuracy has become a top priority. From the European Cup to FIFA World Cup qualification, we can find that shooting has become an essential foundation for winning at the same time as the speed is faster and the competition is more intense. There is no winning goal without a winning shot, three points or free throws. In another year, can several of our tall strikers practice shooting?
Second, Zhou Qi must have a ball to play, and can no longer be abandoned as in the past two years. Zhou Qi is the tactical core of the Chinese team. Only when he restores his ruling power can he make the outside play more comfortable. Otherwise, the attack will stagnate as in the first half of Iran.
Third, the defensive height is up, the defensive strength is maintained, and the offensive and defensive conversion (including fast attack) should be practiced well. The Chinese team scored 17 points in the second world war, exceeding 11 points in the first world war. Especially after the opening of the second half, Zhao Jiwei launched a beautiful fast attack, the striker grabbed the rebound and knew to find the team-mates who were quick to get off at the first time. But compared with the international trend, this kind of competition with high strength is so fast, which is obviously not enough.
There is still one year left, and the time for old Joe and the team members is very tight.
