Losing Iran in the group stage, losing the top spot in the group, and being forced to enter the playoffs. In the

play-off, he defeated Lebanon 73-97 and missed the quarterfinals, and the Japanese men's basketball team ended the Asian Cup.

Reason for losing? In the whole game, he made only 5 of 27 three-pointers.

Yes, it is related to the absence of personnel.

Hamura Shizuo, Watanabe Yuta, and Kawamura Yuki did not participate in the competition.

Hachimura withdrew from the national team due to a discord with head coach Hovas; Watanabe was absent due to injury; Kawamura is preparing for the new NBA season, and the team's major core members are only supported by naturalized center Hawkinson.

Remember Brother Di said before that the Japanese men's basketball team's awesome pick-and-roll from Kawamura and Hawkinson. If one of these two people is absent, it will be like taking out the biggest killer move.

For example, Kawamura Yuki's Olympics' share of France's fourth quarter leg was as high as 63.5%, which is a proof of the team's lack of second ball holding point.

But there is no need to make excuses for this loss, if you lose, you will lose.

What "This is the Japanese Men's Basketball Team X Team", this is all about the silly, and the opponents are all the main players...

If, I mean, if the Chinese Men's Basketball Team loses South Korea tomorrow, I will not make excuses for the main players to be absent, and if I lose, I will admit it honestly. (Preview, game time, 7 o'clock tomorrow night)

What I want to express today is: Japanese basketball has natural shortcomings, not as powerful as the so-called "Japanese blow" outside, and Asia is invincible.

Japanese football is world-class, I admit that.

After all, there are too many players in the five major leagues, including Misato, Kamada Odi, Dorae, Endo Ko, Suzuki Aiyan... The total number of players in the five major leagues is more than 20, covering all key positions.

Takumi Minamio admitted: "There are five major league players in every position, and no one can replace them." The national team selection has entered hell mode. ”

We can’t use football thinking to watch Japanese basketball. Their basketball is far less dominant.

Nowadays, Hachimura is the only one who truly gained a foothold in the NBA. He has conflicts with the head coach. If the basketball team works together to protect Hovas, Hachimura will not wear national team jerseys anymore.

If Yang Hansen can play steadily in the Trail Blazers, wouldn’t we also have real NBA players...

As for Yuhui Kawamura and Hawkinson, they can only say that they have their own characteristics, but The shortcomings are also very obvious. Hawkinson is so awesome. Why don’t he go to the NBA and why don’t he go to the European League?

It can be seen in the Asian Cup that he is difficult to deal with the impact of a small defender when defending the pick-and-roll. His pace is slow on the outside and is easily targeted. On the defensive end, he is far less dominant than Zhou Qi.

As for other insiders in Japan, his ability is even worse... Is there any level of Hu Jinqiu?

No.

Japan lost this time Iran and Lebanon are typical.

They are characterized by "little fast spirit + three-point rain", but they rely heavily on three-pointers. Once they encounter a tall team like West Asia, it will be very difficult.

From Iran to Lebanon, their defensive principles are very simple and rough:

It is impossible to give you an open three-pointer easily. If you have the ability, you will kill me in the inside. If you can't kill me, I will protect the rebounds and resolutely use my physical ability to fight back.

Think about it, is this the way to defeat Japan?

To put it directly, modern basketball has more stringent requirements for comprehensive physical talent.

What is the trend? It emphasizes body confrontation and infinite defense switching.

The physical ability defects of Japanese basketball are mainly reflected in height disadvantages and weak tactical system fragility derived from insufficient confrontation capabilities.

I saw a data before that Japanese local players generally lack height, and the B1 league (Japan top There are only 16 local players with a height of more than 2 meters in the league), and most of them are marginal roles.

The local league centers are scarce, and the youth training system is difficult to make up for the physical talent gap.

This is a major reason why they need to work hard to naturalize the inside and train mixed-race athletes.

However, Japan requires naturalized players to live for 5 years, which leads to mostly naturalized players being veterans at their peak.

Basketball is still a confrontational sports after all.

But I wonder if my brothers have discovered that our current basketball circle cognition seems to be "good health" and "using the body to play basketball" have become derogatory terms, which is quite nonsense.

Those who have played 5V5 a little will understand that the body can solve many problems in basketball games.

When the national team plays intercontinental games, you use players who are over 1.7 meters or 1.8 meters, if you can't attack, it will be very difficult.

So you can see the game against Lebanon, once the intensity is increased. , Funaga Kisho, who is known as "Japan Curry", cannot even touch the ball.

I always believe that the physical confrontation ability of us Chinese people is not at a disadvantage in Asia. There is no need to underestimate ourselves and look down on ourselves.

When playing against East Asian teams such as Japan and South Korea, we must strive to give full play to our physical advantages. This is our strength. When Chinese basketball is at its peak, we also play South Korea like this.

Give two direct examples, you let Japan Those guards can't match Zhao Rui's assault; Zeng Fanbo's athletic ability is not the same as that they don't have.

"If you have the ability, you can kill me in the inside", this defensive principle applies to most Asian games, including the Chinese women's basketball team.

In other words: 2025, our coaches should not be too stubborn.

Tomorrow to play South Korea, you must believe that the opponent's three-pointer can kill us...
