In one game, stripped off your underwear! Win 5 points from Saudi Arabia, can Chinese basketball be considered a talent blowout?

In the previous group stage of the men's basketball team in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team narrowly defeated the host Saudi Arabia 93-88 after a hard battle, achieving a good start in the group stage.

Through this game, we can basically see the current level of the Chinese men's basketball team and even Chinese basketball. The so-called explosion of Chinese basketball talents among many media people has disappeared, and I believe these reporters will not be embarrassed to say similar things in the future. In the Asian Championships of the Men's Basketball Team 20 years ago, the Chinese team at that time defeated Saudi Arabia 98-10 88 points. 20 years have passed, and the 88-point lead has become just 5 points. Of course, Saudi basketball has made great progress, but Chinese basketball has also made great regressions.

Many people use the inconsistent lineup of the Chinese team as an excuse to try to show that it is understandable that the Chinese team narrowly defeated their opponents. The Chinese team lacks players such as Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Zhenlin, Cui Yongxi and Lin Wei. Judging from the actual situation, Zhou Qi's physical condition has become worse and worse in recent years. His actual age is over 30 years old. After a season of high-intensity competition, he needs to have a good rest, otherwise he may experience major injuries at any time. The two young players, Yang Hansen and Lin Wei, are not valued at all in Guo Shiqiang's hands. Even if they appear in the team's lineup, they will still play substitutes for Hu Jinqiu and Hu Mingxuan. Yang Hansen may still get some playing time, and Lin Wei, who Guo Shiqiang doesn't like, may not even be able to make any playing time. Zeng Fanbo and Zhang Zhenlin are still a question mark. As for Choi Yongxi, a player who scores single digits in the national team all year round and scores 1 point, 2 points, and 3 points if he doesn't score, really expects him to save the team? Once Yang Hansen arrives, Yu Jiahao may not be shortlisted. Then I will hype the strength of Yu Jiahao, who joined the countdown team in the Segunda League?

Look at the lineup of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi team actually only has one naturalized player, Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman. He scored 32 points on the Chinese team, and the Chinese team has no way to effectively restrict him. Abdul Lackman was born in September 1994 and is 30 years old. He is 193cm tall and weighs 86kg. He is the undraft in the 2018 NBA Draft. In the 2019-20 season, Abdul Lackman made a total of 42 appearances for the Cleveland Swordsmen, a subordinate team of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and averaged 21.2 minutes per game, with averaging 7.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.3%, his three-point shooting percentage was 36.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 85.1%. Last season, he played for La Liga team Bilbao. He played 53 games in all competitions, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, averaging 10.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 1.6 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 38.9%, three-point shooting percentage 35.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 82.2%.

Lackman's strength is not as foreign aid in most CBA teams. He can only average 6 points and 7 points per game in the NBA Development League, and his performance in the NBA summer league is even worse. His shooting percentage is less than 40% in the weak team, which can be said to be unable to even understand the data. Last year, Rackman also played for Saudi Arabia in the Asian Cup qualifying match. He only scored 10 points against Jordan and 23 points against Palestinian, but he scored 32 points against China, which can also show how bad the defense of the Chinese outside players is. Abdul Lackman is mediocre. Many of the other players of the Saudi team are veterans over 30 years old. They have never performed outstandingly and have almost no chances for major competitions. However, facing the Chinese team, many people actually performed well, which is even more outrageous.

We can see how some media people cleaned the floor after this game. For example, the Saudi team's naturalized players are very strong. Facts have proved that the level of this naturalized player is very mediocre. Even naturalized players of this level cannot be defended. What should I do if there are a few naturalized players with stronger strength? In international competitions, which player in the European team will be at a worse level than Abdul Lackman? Some people say that the Chinese team's uneven lineup leads to insufficient competitiveness. The fact is, even if all the players play, how many points can the Chinese team win their opponents? Some people also hyped the strength of other Saudi players. Saudi Arabia lost to New Zealand two years ago, and lost to Jordan by double-digit score difference this year. When he could only win teams of the Palestinian, Iraq or India, no one seemed to be hyped how strong Saudi was? Won the Saudi team by 5 points, and media people are embarrassed to boast about the boom in Chinese basketball talent? If you don’t look back, how poor the CBA’s strength is and how poor the domestic basketball environment is?
