The Chinese men s basketball team s quarterfinals are no surprise, Guam has no intention of fighting to help South Korea, Koreans only release half of the smoke bombs

In the first round of the Asian Cup knockout round, the South Korean team's opponent was Guam. In the end, the South Korean team defeated Guam 99-66 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. The match between the eight-to-four is our Chinese men's basketball team. The two sides had a total of 20 matches at the Asian level, which is an absolute old opponent. With the Japanese team, which is also located in East Asia, the Chinese men's basketball team and the South Korean team seem to be more likely to meet. The last time the two sides met was in the 23rd Asian Games, when the Chinese men's basketball team defeated their opponents 84-70 and advanced to the semi-finals.

It should be said that the Korean team defeated Guam and entered the quarterfinals. He should be the opponent prepared by the Chinese men's basketball team. However, it is not that Guam's strength is too poor when he can defeat Guam so easily. The main reason is that they have long been unwilling to fight. After the group stage, the two core cores of the main lineup left the team, and the whole team couldn't get together for more than ten people. This team is basically a team composed of amateur players. Many of them are taking leave to participate. They are anxious to go back because of insufficient balance during the holidays. They should not have expected that they could enter the knockout round. In the end, it was only cheaper for Koreans.

This game is actually a good opportunity for the Chinese men's basketball team to understand their opponents in advance. The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Guo Shiqiang, watched the game on the spot. At least one piece of information is proven, that is, the Korean media previously reported that the team's two main players Lee Jung-hyun and Lu Junxi will both miss the knockout round, which is a smoke bomb, because Lu Junxi not only played in this game, but also was in good condition. She made 4 of 4 shots on the bench, and the so-called lack of injuries is obviously fake news.

From the current perspective, the South Korean team's smoke bombs are both true and false, which is half-half. This kind of true and false is reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, Lee Jung-hyun is indeed injured and has left the team to return to China for treatment. On the other hand, Lu Junxi, who said she would be injured for two weeks, has been following the team and has not left the team. In this game, Lu Junxi played in the game and released half of the smoke bomb. According to the strength of the South Korean team, such smoke bombs should not be released on Guam. But if it is a smoke bomb released by the Chinese team, then Lu Junxi will play on the bench when it has nothing to do with the victory or defeat in this game. Wouldn't the South Korean team release this smoke bomb against the Chinese team?

In fact, it can be seen from the final lineup of the South Korean team that the South Korean team cried and shouted that the lineup was not in a complete way, but in the end it still played with a complete main lineup. It is really different from the Chinese men's basketball team's main lineup without Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo and others. This time the Chinese men's basketball team played a Korean team with a complete lineup. Their main core players Lee Hyun-chung, Lyu Junxi, and Liu Ji-kyung all played.

So the Chinese men's basketball team is really not careless when facing the South Korean team this time. Because this Korean team does not naturalize the inside, the highest configuration is Kim Jong-kyu at 207, so the inside is basically the weakness of the South Korean team. The offensive firepower is mainly concentrated on the outside shooting. When facing the South Korean team, the Chinese men's basketball team mainly does two things well. The first is to fully attack the opponents in the inside, attract their defensive attention, create sufficient projection space for the outside, and give full play to our stable external skills in this Asian Cup.

The second is to use your height advantage to rebound and defend three-pointers. Although the South Korean team mainly relies on outside shooting to score, its three-pointers are not stable at all. Except for the explosive shots against Lebanon, they have hit less than 30% of the three-pointers in the other games. In this game, they faced Guam, which had a very amateur defensive system. In the first quarter, they made 0 of 11 shots. Fortunately, Guam's defense was really not on the table, which allowed the Korean team to gradually find the feel. Therefore, there will be a lot of defensive rebounds in the game, so the Chinese team must be perfect in the competition for rebounds.

The Chinese men's basketball team's outside personnel reserves are mostly defensive players, such as Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Cheng Shuipeng, Zhu Junlong, Gao Shiyan, etc. Their defense should not be comparable to that of an amateur team like Guam. As long as the defensive effect reaches the intensity of the group stage, the Korean team will basically lose half of it.
