Good news is coming out of the Chinese soccer scene, as Shandong Taishan wrote a brilliant page in the AFC Champions League by defeating Japanese champions Kawasaki Frontale with a brilliant 4-2 scoreline in an away match. Ask yourself, isn't the challenge that Shandong Taishan encountered much more daunting than what you've experienced? Especially an away game, it is not easy to win by 2 points.
Turning to table tennis, the Chinese women's ping pushed Japan to a 3-2 victory in the women's team final of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, which ended yesterday, defending their championship honor. In contrast, isn't the adversity faced by the women's ping-pong team more severe than that suffered by your men's basketball team? Sun Yingsha got off to a perfect 3-0 start, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi trailed for a while in the subsequent games, but Shasha eventually sealed the win with a 3-0 scoreline, while Chen Meng came back to win 3-1 in the fifth game. Such a feat, winning a sixth world title for the national women's table tennis team, isn't such an achievement more dazzling than anything you've mentioned?
The men's soccer team was able to beat Japan, and the women's ping pong team was able to beat Japan, however, in the men's basketball team match, we suffered an unexpected loss against the Japanese team. The team was passive in the second half and ended up with a defeat, which was undoubtedly a great shame. Coach Dufeng had led his team to two battles against Japan with a total score of over 50 points and a single game win of 33 points, so why couldn't another coach replicate such splendor?
In the face of such a result, attribution of responsibility is inevitable. Some people ask who is missing from the Chinese men's basketball team. Less Zhou Qi and Guo Allen. Indeed, the absence of Guo Allen and Zhou Qi had a huge impact on the team. So, did the Japanese team suffer a similar situation, such as the absence of Yuta Watanabe and Hachimura? Why did we still fail to beat them? Such a result is really unacceptable and doubly disappointing.
