The results of the China-Japan Women s Basketball Confrontation reflect the current development status of Chinese basketball

On July 19, in the semi-finals of the Women's Basketball Team, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Japanese women's basketball team 81 to 90, and missed the Women's Basketball Team's Asian Cup final!

This game exposed the biggest problem. Chinese basketball and the world were disconnected for too long. The Japanese women's basketball team made various fast whirlwinds, making 16 of 34 three-pointers, with an astonishing 47%, while the Chinese women's basketball team made only 6 of 23 three-pointers and had a shooting percentage of only 26%!

Faced with such a three-pointer, the Chinese women's basketball team cannot win. Looking at the whole game, the Japanese women's basketball team defeated the Chinese women's basketball team with fast advancement three-pointers!

The Chinese team is still superstitious about the big center and wants to fight the opponent with the position. If the opponent's three-pointer is not accurate, we may win the game, but after we worked hard to score 2 points, the opponent easily hit back with three-pointers. Even if we hit two more points, we couldn't catch up with the opponent.

In this game, although Zhang Ziyu, a Chinese women's basketball player, made 7 of 14 shots and contributed 17 points and 9 rebounds, compared with the previous shooting rate of more than 80%, Zhang Ziyu is actually not efficient today, because she can't get out of the penalty area, and the opponent can almost shoot in the open space on the outside!

To put it bluntly, even though the Japanese women's basketball team lost to the Chinese women's basketball team twice before, it is obvious that their coach has really found a way to deal with the Chinese women's basketball team.

On the other hand, the Chinese women's basketball team could not make the inside, and the outside shots were not made, and it was reasonable to eventually lose to the opponent in an upset!

In addition to the women's basketball team, the same is true for the Chinese men's basketball team. They believe that they do not have a technical big center and think that they can win with their absolute talent like height!

Little do you know that in the world basketball world, big centers have evolved into technical centers, such as Wenban Yama, who must be highly and flexible, and for example, Jokic's technical flow, whether inside or outside, you can't find a point to defend them.

And the Chinese team, although we have the first round pick Yang Hansen, he was only the third center in the Chinese team last year. Even if he was selected this year, it is unlikely that the Chinese team will let him hold the ball and control the field.

There are also physical problems. In the summer league, Yang Hansen's physical strength was swelled by his opponent, and the national team should also pay attention to it!

We also need to have more advanced basketball coaches, and we should not be superstitious about those old coaches!
