National Youth narrowly defeated Cameroon 81-77, comments after the game: Two joys and two sorrows!

In the U19 Men's Basketball World Cup qualifying match, the Chinese team defeated Cameroon 81-77. The competition process was ups and downs, and the two sides continued to take the lead alternately. In the last quarter, the Chinese team once took the lead, but then made a mistake and was tied by the opponent. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Chinese team stabilized the situation and finally won the battle with difficulty. After the game analysis, the National Youth Team showed two major joys and two major worries.

First of all, Chen Jiazheng's prospects are relatively clear. He has been in a hot state recently. If Qu Shaobin had not restricted his playing time, Chen Jiazheng would have the chance to shine in every game. He scored 25 points in just 20 minutes in this game. If he gets more opportunities in the second and third quarters, his score may reach 30 or 40. In addition, Chen Jiazheng has shown excellent levels on both offense and defense, and he seems very calm when handling key balls. He is very likely to be selected for the national training team in the future.

Secondly, Zhu Zheng’s role in the team cannot be ignored. In the case of Yang Yi's poor offensive form, Zhu Zheng stepped forward and sent a key pass at the last moment to help the team rebuild the lead. He scored 11 points efficiently throughout the game, and he performed particularly well when he fought with injuries. If he can continue to improve, he will definitely have the potential to enter the national team and may become a core player in the backcourt in the future.

However, Qu Shaobin's decisions on employment are puzzling. On the one hand, he used Chen Jiazheng inappropriately. On the other hand, Wang Hongze scored consecutively in the final quarter and helped the team widen the gap, but was accidentally replaced. Wang Hongze's ability to protect rebounds is obviously trustworthy, and the coach's adjustment at this time is really puzzling. What's even more interesting is that he sent Yang Yi back at the last moment. Considering that Yang Yi's defense has hidden dangers, this choice is quite questioned, and Qu Shaobin's adjustment ability needs to be improved urgently.

Finally, Zhang Boyuan's performance was also disappointing. He lacked a tough attitude when breaking through and easily chose to pass the ball, which led to his offensive performance being unsatisfactory. As the team's main scoring force, he should have led the team, but his shooting score was only 2 of 9 shots, and his three-point firepower was insufficient. In addition, the foul at the end of the game almost led to a loss. Zhang Boyuan really needs to deeply reflect on his performance.
