center yang hansen's positioning screen created a good shooting opportunity for teammate hu mingxuan. the new captain of the chinese men's basketball team was obviously very clear about the position of the players guarding him and the little time left in the game. after a fake shot, he made a three-pointer with an abnormal rhythm, helping the chinese men's basketball team to defeat the visiting spanish club team juventus on september 20. the chinese men's basketball team also ended this summer's training camp with a victory.
"during the one and a half month training camp, the team achieved the goal of improving physical fitness and helping athletes become familiar with the offensive and defensive systems and technical and tactical play. the team's level of effort, training attitude, and discipline management are all good, and the warm-up matches are of great training value. regardless of victory or defeat, the players' style, attitude, and cohesion on the court are worthy of recognition." chinese men's basketball head coach guo shiqiang summed up the training camp.
this is definitely not the longest training session for the chinese men's basketball team, but it should be the one with the closest end of training to the start date of the new cba season. the 2024-2025 cba league will kick off on october 12. in order to balance the interests of the club and the national team as much as possible, the chinese basketball association announced that after the two warm-up matches with juventus, the chinese men's basketball team will be disbanded on the spot, which is one week earlier than the original end date of september 28.
to some extent, hu mingxuan's buzzer-beater and the two games against juventus have reduced the controversy surrounding the chinese men's basketball training camp.
according to the previous plan, the chinese men's basketball team conducted a 20-day physical reserve in kunming, yunnan from august 5 to august 26. in the match against juventus, the players' switching and rotation speeds have improved to a certain extent, and in terms of physical confrontation, they are not afraid of european teams at all.
only with the guarantee of physical function can the improvement of technical and tactical level be supported. it is gratifying that the chinese men's basketball team has realized the need to catch up with the world's advanced playing style and has put it into practice to a certain extent.
"this time the national team has made a concentrated request that we must increase the number and speed of our counterattacks during offense. i have set two goals for the team. if the national team wants to win the game in the world series, the first is that the number of offensive shots must be close to 70 times, and the second is that the score must exceed 80 points. only in this way can we have a chance to win the game." guo shiqiang said.
although the chinese men's basketball team did not take more than 60 shots or score more than 70 points in the two games, it can be seen from the course of the game that the chinese men's basketball team is trying to seize some transition offense opportunities. in the positional battle, the players are also trying to seize the first opportunity to attack, rather than blindly looking for better offensive opportunities, which makes the offense stagnant and procrastinating.
on another level, guo shiqiang is also working hard to establish a "ball-holding core" style of play, that is, initiating offense with pick-and-rolls and thereby extending the team's offensive system.
in the two games against juventus, the two core guards hu mingxuan and liao sanning started at the same time. both of them are offensive engines in their respective club teams. they not only have good ball-handling offensive ability, but also belong to the first echelon in the league in terms of organization and connection. liao sanning scored 16 points in the first game and made a key attack under the basket in the second game. hu mingxuan then made a three-pointer to win the game. in the first game before that, hu mingxuan contributed double-double statistics.
the chinese men's basketball team has already shown signs of catching up with the world's advanced playing style, but there are still many technical aspects that need to be improved, and one of the most important is shooting.
in the two warm-up games, except for hu mingxuan's decent performance outside the three-point line, other players rarely provide enough help to the team in long-range shooting, the most important offensive method in modern basketball. data shows that in the first match against juventus, the chinese men's basketball team made 5 of 23 shots from the outside and 16 of 26 free throws; in the second match, the free throw rate improved, but the outside line was still 4 of 18, with a hit rate of only 22.2%.
another thing is the control of mistakes. in the first match against juventus, the chinese men's basketball team had a chance to win the game, but they made three consecutive mistakes at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. as for the second game, although there was a wonderful buzzer beater, the team still made 16 mistakes throughout the game.
"we still have room for improvement in terms of concentration and execution, and the improvement in shooting ability in training has not been well transferred to the game." guo shiqiang actually knows the direction of further improvement of the team in the future. in mid-november, the chinese men's basketball team will usher in the window period of the asian cup. by then, with the foundation of this training camp, the team is expected to catch up with the trend of world basketball.
