Australia defeated Iran with a 92-48 victory, and the Chinese men's basketball team's opponent in the Asian Cup final was also officially confirmed. However, the joy of qualification for the finals has not yet completely dissipated, and head coach Guo Shiqiang has to face two serious real situations and get two bad news. First of all, the overall strength shown by the Australian team in the semi-finals is vigilant. All 12 players of their team scored points, and the offensive firepower points are extremely scattered. Rebound only allowed Iran to grab 23, with only 8 free throws in the game. This means that the Chinese men's basketball team will face tremendous pressure on the defensive end and can no longer limit their opponents by focusing on one or two core players like before. The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Guo Shiqiang, who is still working overtime, appears on the sidelines of the game against Iran. I believe he knows better than anyone else. Another more difficult news comes from the core guard of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhao Rui.

As the first half of the semi-finals with New Zealand was approaching, Zhao Rui accidentally sprained his knee in a fight, and the scene of falling to the ground in pain made everyone sweat. Although he returned with an injury in the second half and had a key performance, the high-intensity continuous battles obviously overwhelmed his body. What's even more unfavorable is that the finals started in less than 20 hours. Such a short recovery period was obviously a drop in the bucket for his injury, and his offensive state in the finals was full of uncertainty. Once Zhao Rui's attack power is affected, the Chinese team's outside line will urgently need new scoring points to come out. Whether Hu Mingxuan, who has performed well in previous games, can share the offensive responsibility at critical moments may become an important variable that affects the game's trend.

Faced with strong opponents and unfavorable factors in the team, coach Guo Shiqiang must be prepared for both ways and formulate a careful response strategy for this ultimate showdown. First of all, on the offensive end, the team needs to control the rhythm of the game as much as possible, avoid falling into a fast attack with the opponent, fall into positional battles more, organize every attack patiently, and continue the effective playing style in the semi-finals, make full use of Hu Jinqiu's height and technical advantages in the inside, and use it as a stable attack strength point. Secondly, on the defensive end, you must give enough strength from the beginning of the game to limit the Australian team's outside shooting, especially when facing the No. 6 defender with full attack power, Gao Shiyan needs to take out a "bite" close-fitting defense. In addition, in view of the Australian team's obvious height advantage, the whole team must do their best to protect the backcourt rebound, which is the lifeline to curb the opponent's rapid counterattack.

Although there are many difficulties in the future, in the eyes of many fans and observers, this Chinese men's basketball team has achieved success regardless of the final result. It should be faced with the fact that this team went on a serious disorganization of the lineup. After missing Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Zhang Zhenlin, Zeng Fanbo, Cui Yongxi, Zhao Jiwei and other core players, the overall strength and starlight of the team have been greatly discounted. Being able to pass the Asian Cup finals with such a lineup has surpassed the general expectations of the outside world. After ten years of hard work, Frost Blade has never tried. Regardless of the victory or defeat, the young man from the Chinese men's basketball team deserves everyone's applause and encouragement.
