1. Wang Junjie's amazing success is finally thankful for his colleagues.

Because of the true nature of the Chinese summer tour group of the three teams of Venezuela, the Chinese men's basketball team's first Asian Cup warm-up match basically did not achieve much warm-up goal.

Because Yang Hansen, Zhou Qi, Zhang Zhenlin, Cui Yongxi and Zeng Fanbo are all absent, coach Guo Shiqiang's positioning for the game is to gather the 12-man lineup of the men's basketball team in the Asian Cup.

During the entire game, Coach Guo had three biggest gains.

First, Zhao Rui's return of health means that he is still the starting guard of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Second, Yu Jiahao's performance in the face of a short and strong opponent shows that the Chinese team is not afraid of large-tonnage centers.

Third, the 20-year-old No. 3 and 4 swingman Wang Junjie's offense and defense versatility shows that he is one of the answers to the future front line of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In fact, from the perspective of most fans, Wang Junjie was the only gain of the Chinese men's basketball team yesterday. He could basically perfectly tie Zeng Fanbo.

From the national youth scoring champion to the NCAA blue-collar worker, to the national team's omnipotence, behind Wang Junjie's amazing success, he kept his low profile for five years. As for his glorious years three years ago, not many fans are willing to remember because of his teammate Yang Hansen's soaring sky.

In fact, objectively speaking, Wang Junjie's data of 2 of 4 three-pointers with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 of 4 three-pointers were far from outstanding, but compared to the 3D function of his ex Gu Quanfu Hao and Du Runwang, Wang Junjie is a perfect man who can hold the ball, protect the basket, run, return to defense, and shoot three-pointers.

2, the biggest crisis of the Chinese men's basketball team is that their scoring ability is far from enough.

At the end of the third quarter yesterday, when he was 30 points behind, Venezuela played a full-game press, and the Chinese team immediately made continuous mistakes. Guo Shiqiang once sent three defenders, but it was still useless.

The biggest highlight today is what correct answer can the Chinese men's basketball back line give when facing Venezuela's inevitable high-pressure defense. At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team lost consecutively in the inside line. Yu Jiahao and Wang Junjie then appeared together and overtook after a 10:0 wave.

The fundamental reason why the main players of the Chinese team are completely different from the substitute in two consecutive games is that they are the height of the inside line, and the other is that they lack the strong points like Wang Junjie.

It is Wang Junjie's magic weapon that has continuously emerged that has enabled the Chinese men's basketball team to maintain an advantage of around 10 points in the second half, and finally defeated the enemy without fighting.

Wang Junjie scored 16 points, the Chinese men's basketball team's affirmation of the fourth position in the future, and the combination of Ding Yanyuhang and Gong Xiaobin.

Compared with the first game, Venezuela did improve its external defense today, but they made far more mistakes than China, which shows that this team is indeed limited in ability. The Chinese men's basketball team chose such a rookie to warm up the tires in the competition, which is pure amateur.

But facing such a rookie, the score of less than 80 in two games means that the Chinese men's basketball team is also not much better.

The next two warm-up matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina will be the final test for the Chinese team's marginal players, because compared with the Bosnia and Herzegovina women's basketball team, the reduced version of the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team will still make the Chinese men's basketball team lose their grief behind them.

I hope that the Asian Cup experience of the Chinese men's basketball team, a civilian team, will allow Chinese fans to face it rationally.
