In the opening thriller, we were only narrowly ahead, 20-19, and the game was tied at 33 at the end of the half. However, the tide turned in the second half and we fell into a hole and eventually lost. The reason for this was that our offensive line was too thin and the players were making a lot of mistakes. Joe's strategy didn't seem to work and this series of mistakes eventually led to our loss. The loss exposed not only our shortcomings on the offensive side of the ball, but also the lack of teamwork. For example, in the last offense, the guard players even missed the opportunity to receive the ball on the field, which led to Zhu Junlong being alone, helpless and confused to shoot that three-pointer.
We were down by 3 points at the very end of the game, and it was a decisive margin. Zhu Junlong is not a three-point shooter in the traditional sense, and the last possession should not have been made by him. Judging from the performance on the court, he seemed to be the passive choice. More critically, Qiao's clinical command strategy was puzzling. Why didn't we go for the foul play at the last minute in the face of Japan's free throws? All this is puzzling. Before this game, the two topics that public opinion is most concerned about are: since 1936, our men's basketball team has not lost to Japan in 1988, can this time to break the curse? As well as, is this the last game of Qiao Shuai? Now that the first topic has become a humiliating reality, what about the second? Should we continue to focus on Yao Ming's performance or question Qiao Shuai's decision-making? In my opinion, it's all over, and it's time for the era of Qiao Shuai to come to an end. Farewell, Mr. Qiao. Farewell to the man who is no longer a good fit for the Chinese men's basketball team. Djordjevic, the worst head coach in the history of men's basketball, bar none. He proved it through consecutive losses in the World Championships, the Asian Cup, the Asian Games, and the Asian Preliminaries. And, there are only three things he can do! I would like to say that Qiao's behavior really proves the following points: first, Yao's vision is short-sighted, and hiring Qiao was the biggest failure of his tenure. Although he stands tall, he doesn't see far, and it's even less true. Second, Qiao Shuai is one of the worst coaches in the history of men's basketball. The so-called world-famous coach, Jorjevic, is really just a charlatan. We don't see his talent, and naturally, we don't give a damn about his existence. The problem is that Marshal Joe and President Yao Ming are going to stick around and shamelessly rely on each other. The men's soccer team has already changed its manager, and the men's basketball team, which is a difficult team, is still waiting for what?
