"Guo Shiqiang faces the most difficult challenge! The Chinese men s basketball team is fighting tonight with Venezuela."

CCTV5 live broadcast: The Chinese men's basketball team is facing Venezuela, and Guo Shiqiang faces the "most difficult start test"

Tonight, the Chinese men's basketball team will once again embark on a warm-up match with Venezuela. This "destined battle" not only touches the hearts of countless fans, but also symbolizes a real test of the team in difficulties. As an important part of the preparation for the Asian Cup, this game is not only a panoramic display of technology and tactics, but also a tempering of team spirit in the battle. The confrontation between the Chinese men's basketball team and Venezuela's "divorce" will inevitably become the focus of fans' attention. The absence of the lineup is severely damaged: the four core players miss the battlefield

This game was almost labeled as "half of the strength". The Chinese team was troubled by injuries, and affected by personnel flow, and lost four key players in a row, which directly weakened the depth and tacit understanding of the lineup. The center position was the first to be the center. The rush was hit hard: Zhou Qi was unable to play due to injury, while the young insider Yang Hansen failed to return to the team due to participating in the NBA Summer League, and the "reinforced concrete" in the inside collapsed instantly. According to authoritative statistics (FIBA official data), the two have contributed nearly half of the team's rebounds and blocks in the past year, symbolizing the mainstay of the defensive system.

What is also difficult is that two strong players on the front line, Zhang Zhenlin and Zeng Fanbo were absent due to injury. These two players were once the Chinese team's fast attack And the core weapons during the conversion, their absence means that both offense and defense will face tremendous pressure. Coach Guo Shiqiang has to readjust the lineup in this game and a huge demolition and construction process from the tactical board is full of difficulties.

"Disciple" reappears: Venezuela's physical impact hits again

Venezuela is not just an opponent, but more like an insolvent psychological disaster for the Chinese men's basketball team. The Chinese team lost 59:72 to the team in the 2019 World Cup group stage. Now that game still comes to the minds of fans. This South American powerhouse is known for its physical strength and high defensive aggressiveness. This style just restrains the shortcomings of the Chinese team's existing lineup. Zhou Qi's absence makes the inside defensive loopholes obvious, while the outsiders are still in the gradual growth stage. Faced with Venezuela's rapid counterattack and oppressive play, how to find a breakthrough point has become a problem.

Possibility of a comeback: The challenge of "no-mi-clever" Guo Shiqiang and the new crowd image

Although the lineup is not complete, there are still some players in the team who hold hope. Guo Shiqiang shoulders the important task of revitalizing the national team in the next stage after being ordered in danger, but this game can be said to be his most severe test. He needs to coordinate the lineup under the condition of a lack of soldiers, and also needs to activate some potential energy points through the game.

- Zhao Rui, the core of the backcourt: As the "key key" to solving the problem, Zhao Rui's comeback injects the veteran's stability into the inexperienced team. His performance not only improves the overall rhythm, but also effectively connects both offense and defense.

- The performance of the newcomer is worth looking forward to: Wang Junjie, who returned from the NCAA, showed a good feel in the previous warm-up match. In this game, facing higher intensity pressure, whether he can surprise fans again is a big highlight.

- The breakthrough point of the front line and the backcourt: Zhang Ning and Raymond's "tough guy forward combination" will become the shield for the Chinese team to resist the oppression. Their physical confrontation and firepower output may be the highlights of this game.

- Huge pressure on the inside: Hu Jinqiu will take the lead and face opponents with physical talent. How he performs is directly related to the quality of the inside defense of the Chinese team.

In addition to the victory and loss: The moment of tempering the iron army spirit

Compared with the results, the more important significance of this Central Committee Warm-up match may be to discover problems and shape the team temperament. How to adjust the lineup, train newcomers through such a match, and test the adaptability of the technical system are all invisible goals behind this game. Under the difficulties, showing the spirit of struggle and holding up the pressure is the expectation of the Chinese team by many fans.

How bright can the iron blood and tenacity of this team shine in adversity? The answer will be revealed by tonight's arena. Regardless of the result, we look forward to seeing the beating Chinese red flag and fighting basketball soul, and cheering for the new generation of Chinese men's basketball.
