The Chinese men's basketball team won all three games in the group stage, eliminated South Korea and defeated New Zealand. The game was strong, and Australia also "prospered all the way" in the semi-finals, facing Iran, "successfully defeated" the opponent 44 points. The "peak showdown" of this Asian Cup will be between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team. The men's basketball team "Guo Jiajun" faces a real test. CCTV5 will broadcast this game live. Can the Chinese men's basketball team successfully "topped the peak"?

The quarter-finals faced South Korea, and the old opponent fought. The Chinese men's basketball team won 79:71, and faced New Zealand in the semi-finals. The test was upgraded. Guo Shiqiang successfully changed the team and established a nine-point lead in the first quarter. However, the opponent did not give it for nothing. After the three quarters, he lost to the Chinese team only two points. In the key quarter, the opponent made a "bad move" and almost "provocative" foul on Zhao Rui. Fortunately, the captain of the men's basketball team was calm enough. He used this violation to make both free throws. Looking back, he scored another three-pointer. Hard, the Chinese men's basketball team also used the offensive climax of 30:12 in the second half of the fourth quarter to truly widen the score gap, "set the tone" for the game to win 98:84, and advance to the finals. This is the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Cup in the past 10 years. In the last quarter, Zhao Rui and Liao Sanning led the team to a "wave of flow" offensive climax. Gao Shiyan's "entanglement" on the defensive end made the two major backcourts perform abnormally, with only 1 of 8 shots. Gao Shiyan's role on the offensive end was limited, but his efficiency was able to enter the top three of the team, mainly relying on strength. With the momentum defense, Zhao Rui scored the highest score in the game, Hu Jinqiu performed well, this team lacked Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Zhang Zhenlin, and Zeng Fanbo's "remnant formation" men's basketball team. 9 players participated in the international competition for the first time and were able to advance to the Asian Cup finals. Accurate three-point shooting, stable free throw shooting rate, and powerful defense is the key to victory. Basketball commentator Su Qun, the Chinese men's basketball team of Sheng Zhan is the strongest in many years, keeping up with the world trend. We need to thank Guo Shiqiang. Guidance Guo's improvement of the Chinese men's basketball team is obvious to all, whether it is technical and tactical or exquisite. The spirit of energy is completely different. "

The Australian men's basketball team on the other side beat Iran 92:48, and lost suspense almost halftime. Since participating in the Asian Cup for the first time in 2017, the Australian men's basketball team has won 17 and lost 0. Its strength is the "unique existence". Basketball reporter Mai Suifeng also said that the Asian Cup championship and the Asian Olympic champion are a confrontation between the Asian champion and the Oceania champion. There is a gap in strength between the two sides. This is an opportunity to exercise. You should keep a calm mind and try your best to play your own things.

Australia belongs to the Oceania team, "high man and strong defense" against force, and has advantages in competition under the basket. It is almost "no bloodshed" against Iran. The Chinese men's basketball team has just experienced "hand-to-hand combat" with New Zealand. The physical fitness will be facing a test. Australia is not an "indestructible" Chinese men's basketball team's "back group" can maintain defensive intensity, limit the performance of the Australian men's basketball team's backcourt, do a good job of running without the ball, play the offense and defense connection, handle mistakes well, make cooperation more tacit, try to cut off the internal and external lines of the Australian men's basketball team, maintain stable shooting efficiency outside the three-point line, make quick moves, instant defense movements, and accurately predict steals. Facing this "strong dialogue", you may have a chance to win. At 0:00 on August 18, the "peak showdown" of the Chinese and Australian men's basketball team in the Asian Cup was staged as scheduled. CCTV5 will broadcast this game live. This late-night basketball feast is worthy of fans' attention. Facing a severe test, what kind of answer can the men's basketball "Guo Jiajun" deliver? Thanks to the fans for their wonderful comments...
