In the first game of the Chinese Men's Basketball Warm-up Tournament on the evening of July 27, the team defeated the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team, which had the middle and upper reaches of Europe, with a precise three-point offensive of 90-70, and expanded the record of winning streak in the warm-up match to three games. However, behind this relatively stable warm-up match trend, the Chinese men's basketball team also exposed problems during the sprint stage of the Asian Cup preparation, which means that the team is not 100% prepared.

Compared with the Venezuelan men's basketball team that had previously played against the Venezuelan men's basketball team, which came to China with most of the main lineups, although the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team failed to adjust their game state to the best due to time difference and other reasons, their physical strength of confrontation and tactical execution have put more significant pressure on the Chinese men's basketball team.

This intensity has become a touchstone for testing the true combat power of the Chinese men's basketball team. In the first half of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team only completed 8 assists, but made as many as 11 mistakes. Especially in the second quarter, the team's intermittent performance on the offensive end was prompted to overtake 4 points in a single quarter.

"We all understand the characteristics of the cooperation between the opponents on both offense and defense before the game and the characteristics of the players. The most important thing is that our players did very well in this game in the game." After the game, Guo Shiqiang, assistant coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, said that in the second quarter of the match against the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team, the team did have some fluctuations. "The team had some problems in the second quarter, and their concentration decreased a little."

In fact, after confirming that many main players or main players such as Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo, and Zhang Zhenlin were absent from the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team did face considerable pressure in lineup matching, especially the rotation of insiders. It can be clearly seen from the first warm-up match with the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team that whether Hu Jinqiu, the only inside player who can rely on, has a significant impact on the inside of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In response to this, Guo Shiqiang admitted: "The team has many injuries and few insiders, so it is indeed difficult to rotate." The team is also relying on the strength of the team to make up for the difficulties and challenges brought by factors such as injuries. For example, in this warm-up match with the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team laid a solid foundation for the final victory with nearly 50% of the three-point shooting percentage of the game. More importantly, this is the second time that the Chinese men's basketball team has shown a very impressive three-point shooting performance in the past three warm-up games. "We have always grasped the shooting and free throws tightly. As long as we have time, the intensity of our practice is still relatively high. Another thing is that I have always emphasized that players must be determined whenever they have the opportunity (shooting) on the court." Guo Shiqiang said.

On July 29, the Chinese men's basketball team will also play the second warm-up match with the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team. After that, the team will prepare to set off to Saudi Arabia and embark on this summer's men's basketball Asian Cup.
