74% of the three-pointer in the finals, but failed to take action in the national team. Fans: Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen quickly returned

In the past two seasons, Hu Jinqiu has been intentionally increasing his shooting frequency on the outside during the CBA League. After increasing the average number of three-point shootings to 2.3 times last season, Daqiu's 33.3% three-point shooting percentage is actually quite good for an inside player.

In the finals, Hu Jinqiu was the most accurate three-pointer in the team. After 6 games, he averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 72.7%, the team ranked first in the fault team, and at the same time, he had a beautiful data single average of 22.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

I thought that in this Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team would have Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen, two pure 5 positions, and Hu Jinqiu could play a space-type 4 position. As a result, both of them were absent, and Hu Jinqiu could only continue to play the No. 5 position. Since spending most of the time in the paint area, Hu Jinqiu did not have the opportunity to use his three-pointer skill package in the Asian Cup, which made fans feel a little regretful. After three group matches, Hu Jinqiu scored 14.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game during 21.3 minutes of playing time, with a shooting percentage of 74.1%, but he did not take any action outside the three-point line. It is worth mentioning that among the 12 players of the Chinese men's basketball team, only two did not shoot on the outside. In addition to Hu Jinqiu, the other is Li Xiangbo, who averaged only 3.4 minutes of playing time per game. Even Yu Jiahao, who was criticized for his performance in the Asian Cup, shot once on the outside (unable to hit).

Considering the next knockout match, the Chinese men's basketball team must work hard to achieve an ideal ranking, so Hu Jinqiu may not easily take action from the outside. After all, the team is not short of outside players now. Hu Mingxuan, Cheng Shuipeng and others have good outside stars, and what Hu Jinqiu has to do is to play a decisive role in the inside with both offense and defense.

In fact, tall players like Hu Jinqiu who have the ability to shoot outside and have certain ball-holding ability are very popular in today's basketball world. Take the most typical Wagner Brothers for example. These two people not only have a good time in the NBA, but also can give the German team sufficient help with their height, shooting and ball-holding advantages in the international arena. If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to return to the ranks of world-class teams, a big man like Hu Jinqiu should not be limited to being a No. 5 position, but should also do something about holding the ball and shooting from outside.

However, if Hu Jinqiu wants to truly return to the No. 4 position he is familiar with, he may have to wait for Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen to return. If he can show his skills both inside and outside during his partnership with these two, and the outside shooting of the Chinese men's basketball team can maintain the level of this Asian Cup group stage, then the Chinese men's basketball team's return to the right track is definitely just around the corner.
