This is Du Feng's "first show" in the international arena after he was ordered to become the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team“ Since I entered the national team as a player, the current Chinese men's basketball team is the most difficult period I have experienced As a matter of fact, from the beginning of the national training team's training at beiti University, Du Feng pointed out the difficulties in this preparation and competition

Most of the players took part in the qualification competition of the National Games on behalf of their respective provinces and cities after the 200 day CBA League. The average rest time of the training players was less than one month.

However, from May 25 to June 12, without the basic training to adapt and recover the physical condition, the time for real technical and tactical training and confrontation training is less than two weeks.

After just three weeks of training, many key players and rotation players, including Yi Jianlian, Guo Allen, Wang Zhelin and sun Minghui, left the national team because of injuries. In the final list of 14 players, only Zhou Qi, Zhao Jiwei and Ren Junfei have three players with international competition experience. What's worse, Zhou Qi, the core of the inside line, had to fly to the Philippines to join the national team after laser eye surgery because he suddenly felt eye discomfort in the last training session.

And in the first game before the big list, Zhou Qi finally did not enter the 12 people's Congress list.

Zhang Zhenlin is a Japanese player. Japan, on the other hand, lacks NBA players akimura and Junichiro Watanabe, as well as Australian league players majestic racecourse. This set of plastic surgery for Japanese men's basketball team to participate in the Asian Cup qualifier is mainly "naturalized players + mixed blood". They include Gavin Edwards, an inside player from the University of Connecticut who graduated from the NCAA First Division League, bendram Leeson, a Brazilian half breed, and Zhang bentianjie, who was born in Liaoning, China.

Before the game, Japanese coach Julio liamas was quite confident: "I hope to finish the game well and try to win as much as possible."

Interestingly, before the match, the attitude of Chinese and Japanese fans towards their home team was quite similar. Many Chinese fans doubt whether the Chinese men's basketball team can successfully win, while Japanese fans also said on the social network, "look at the history of the two teams, the Chinese men's basketball team is really much better than the Japanese men's basketball team, and the physical quality is not in the same level."

The Japanese players made amazing mistakes. The Japanese fans' comments are reasonable. Judging from the history of the two sides in the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team has won all the previous 14 games. At the beginning of the game, both sides didn't enter the state quickly. Wu Qian and Zhou Peng made two shots on the outside line, but they didn't score. But Shen Zijie didn't hit the basket when there was no defense under the basket.

It's not difficult to see from several offensive and defensive rounds that the lack of experience in international warm-up matches, coupled with the hard work, has a great influence on these young players.

About three minutes after the start of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team got two points from Shen Zijie's free throw. This score also sounded the attack horn of the Chinese men's basketball team. Hu Mingxuan then made a breakthrough to get two points, while Zhou Peng also scored three points from the outside.

The Japanese men's basketball team is too dependent on outside shooting, players in all positions on the field are constantly trying to get three points, but they can't find the handle. However, after Japan called out a pause, they began to try inside attack, and gradually found the feeling of outside line, reducing the difference to single digits.

Du Feng expressed dissatisfaction with the team's excessive mistakes. In the second quarter of the match, Zhao Yanhao, who came on as a substitute, showed remarkable performance. He not only felt stable, but also actively rushed for the front court rebounds. Although the Japanese men's basketball team tried to get close to the score by relying on quick counterattack, the Chinese men's basketball team, which has the advantage of inside line, continued to cause damage in the inside line. What is slightly insufficient is that due to the insufficient training and cooperation time, the Chinese men's basketball team made too many mistakes in the game. At the end of the half-time, the Chinese men's basketball team made 13 mistakes, even five more than Japan's. It's no wonder that the coach Du Feng still solemnly instructed the players how to organize the attack after the midfield whistle.

In the second half, the Chinese men's basketball team once opened the difference to 16 points, but the Japanese men's basketball team, with a wave of small climax, narrowed the difference to less than 10 points. At this critical moment, Captain Zhou Peng stood up and hit the key three points, showing the responsibility of the veteran team members.

In the last quarter, the difference was once widened to about 20 points, but the Japanese team pursued the points tenaciously in the last four minutes, which also made Du Feng's guidance very angry and directly told the players to stop and wake up.

Fortunately, then the Chinese team made fouls one after another, stabilized the situation on the field, but also held the victory. However, Zhao Jiwei suffered another technical foul at the end of the game and was directly expelled

At 18:00 on the 17th, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the Chinese Taipei team.
