Just 1 point away! Guo Shiqiang lost his bet! But he won the future! The last 3 minutes of this one person s success and failure

Guo Shiqiang led the Chinese men's basketball team to the runner-up in this Asian Cup, achieving the best record of 7 in the past decade, and his overall coaching performance was remarkable. Although the loss to Australia by one point in the final left some regrets, the new look presented by the team makes people look forward to the future.

Tactical system innovation, pursuing speed and space, emphasizing the outside serving and shooting, three-point shooting percentage (39.9%) and free throw shooting percentage (80.3%) are both ranked first in the tournament. This is also the most obvious improvement in the Chinese men's basketball team. It is indeed not easy for the much-criticized free throw to rank first among all 16 teams in this game. The team culture of "dare to fight and fight to the end" was successfully created. The players encourage each other on the court and compete for every goal.

Guo Shiqiang uses a "three-back" lineup in the game, especially in the final against Australia. The intention is to speed up the offensive rhythm and strengthen external conduction and projection. Although it played speed to a certain extent, the back line does have disadvantages in height and defense, especially when facing Australia's strong forward impact, the defensive pressure is high. Several choices at the last moment of the finals sparked some discussion after the game, such as insisting on putting Liao Sanning on the court and pressing Wang Junjie on the bench. In the end, the defense lost many people, and Liao Sanning became a burden on both offense and defense. Hu Mingxuan made five three-pointers in the final and scored 26 points, but his playing time in the first half (7 minutes and 30 seconds). In fact, if many details are improved, we will have a chance to win this championship, which is really a little bit short. Moreover, it seems that taking Zhao Jiayi now is not a good choice, and he can't play in the knockout round at all.

The experience of running-up in the Asian Cup this time is a valuable growth for the Chinese men's basketball team: defeating New Zealand and fighting with the world's strong team Australia until the last moment greatly enhanced the team's self-confidence. The "Little Kuai Ling" displayed by Guo Shiqiang and the team building idea that emphasizes shooting and defense seem to be in line with the trend of modern basketball. This lineup is not a complete lineup, and there are many main players such as Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen. As the main players return in the future and the lineup is further adjusted, the team's combat effectiveness is worth looking forward to.

In general, coach Guo Shiqiang's coaching in this Asian Cup has been widely recognized. He brought the team advanced tactical concepts, tenacious defensive style and significantly improved mental outlook. He boldly used people and successfully stimulated the team's combat effectiveness. He led a team that was not very optimistic before the game to achieve results that exceeded expectations.
