If Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen were not absent, Yu Jiahao's single-stand-stand-stand-style inside line might not have been included in the final 12-man roster in the Asian Cup. Previously, the Bilbao Club of La Liga officially announced that Yu Jiahao would join, but he would be loaned to the Segunda League team in the first season, so this Asian Cup, Yu Jiahao's performance has also attracted much attention. In the first match against Saudi Arabia, although Yu Jiahao scored 15 points and 7 rebounds in 14 minutes of playing time, his weaknesses of poor core strength were fully visible, especially when he was confronting several Saudi insiders at a low post. Although Yu Jiahao was intending to use his low post skills, his movements were too clumsy and he was blocked by the opponent many times. In the second game, when facing the weak team India won 31 points, Yu Jiahao once again exposed this flaw. After the game, Yu Jiahao made 2 of 6 shots in 17 minutes of playing time, with only 4 points and 4 rebounds, and made 2 mistakes.

Because the Chinese men's basketball team's inside position is too thin this time, Guo Shiqiang let Hu Jinqiu play the No. 5 position most of the time, and Li Xiangbo rarely gets a chance to play in the third inside. Therefore, as the second center, it can even be said to be the only genuine center of this Chinese men's basketball team. Yu Jiahao failed to show his dominance on both offense and defense facing a weak team like India, which is really sad.

On the offensive end, like before the previous match against Saudi Arabia, the confrontation at the basket was softer, and even several balls were empty, they failed to make a basket, instead of choosing to end with a dunk. On the defensive end, Yu Jiahao performed at a disaster level, and was repeatedly beaten by the inside line who was shorter than him.

Like the last game against Saudi Arabia, Yu Jiahao's data seems to be good in this game, but I believe that fans who have paid attention to the game should know what his role in this Chinese men's basketball team is. With more than 7 minutes left in the final quarter, Guo Shiqiang directly replaced Yu Jiahao with Li Xiangbo. Although it was indeed a substitution strategy with a big score lead, to some extent, he might still be dissatisfied with Yu Jiahao's performance on the court.

Although Yu Jiahao was able to join La Liga and he carried the hope of fans, he couldn't even understand the Asian Cup. Yu Jiahao's European trip may not be optimistic. Fortunately, his first season was spent in the Spanish Second Division. Although it was not La Liga, it was at least a European league. This also allowed a young center like Yu Jiahao to adapt to the atmosphere of playing in Europe first.

However, he was defeated in the Asian Cup, and fans may also have to make the worst plans for Yu Jiahao's European League trip next season. If Yu Jiahao cannot improve his abilities and develop offensive diversity, he may not be able to get too many opportunities even in the Spanish Second Division.
