After the women s basketball team defeated Japan, Guo Shiqiang became anxious! The men s basketball team recalled three players overnight: Yang Hansen and Zhou Qi returned to the team

In the semi-finals of the women's basketball team in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team finally collapsed in the second half under a good situation and was reversed by the Japanese team. They lost the game by 9 points and missed the championship and runner-up. After the Chinese women's basketball team lost this key battle, the outside world criticized head coach Gong Luming, and was questioned in all aspects of the use of people, tactics and playing styles. After seeing the Chinese women's basketball team defeat, men's basketball coach Guo Shiqiang was also anxious. According to people familiar with the matter, after the women's basketball team lost, the men's basketball team recalled three main players overnight, Zeng Fanbo, Yang Hansen and Zhou Qi. All three will represent the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.

For the Chinese women's basketball team, the loss to the Japanese team is indeed unexpected. After all, the Chinese team was in very good shape in the previous group stages and warm-up matches. During the warm-up match, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team twice, and at the psychological level, the Chinese team has a certain advantage. In the group stage, the Chinese team was also in a state of unstoppable fashion, beating Indonesia, South Korea and New Zealand in succession without much obstacle. Perhaps it was because the winning was too easy, or perhaps it was because of carelessness that the Chinese team eventually plummeted in the semi-finals and was overturned by the Japanese team.

In the past two or three years, the Chinese women's basketball team has achieved good results in international competitions. First they won the runner-up of the World Cup in 2022, and then in 2023, they won the Asian Cup and Asian Games championships one after another, and both defeated the Japanese team in the finals to win the championship, achieving revenge against the Japanese team. The current Japanese team has not changed much compared to the Japanese team two years ago. The Chinese team lost to their opponents in this battle, rather than to their opponents, they lost to themselves. The team itself has aging tactics, players are slack, defensive strength is insufficient, and the outside line is not accurate enough. The back line does not even have a defender who passes the ball accurately to Zhang Ziyu. These are the reasons why the Chinese team lost.

At the Asian Women's Basketball Championship ten years ago, the Chinese team lost 35 points in the final and lost the championship. After losing this game, the Chinese women's basketball team caused a huge shock. Obviously, the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team at home this time, and the follow-up problems caused are quite a lot of problems. They will all pay for this defeat, including Gong Luming, Huang Sijing, Yang Liwei, Li Yuan and others. People like Huang Sijing, Yang Liwei, Pan Zhenqi, etc., are very likely to say goodbye to the women's basketball national team after losing this game. The Chinese team will also enter the update ahead of schedule within the next one or two years.

After seeing the women's basketball team defeated the Japanese team, the Chinese men's basketball team also felt much pressure. As we all know, in the Asian basketball arena, the Chinese men's basketball team is quite good. In the past, when the women's basketball team had good results, the men's basketball team would not be paid much attention. Now that the women's basketball team has failed in the Asian Cup, the rest depends on the men's basketball team. Especially for Guo Shiqiang, who just took over the Chinese men's basketball team, he needs a big victory to prove himself. This Asian Cup, even if the Chinese team cannot win the championship, the Chinese team will at least strive for the semi-finals, otherwise they may be treated the same as the women's basketball team.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, according to people familiar with the matter, the men's basketball team has recalled three fierce generals Zhou Qi, Zeng Fanbo and Yang Hansen overnight. Due to injuries and the NBA, all three of them have temporarily left the national team. At present, Zeng Fanbo has successfully returned to the team, and Yang Hansen will set off in the near future. After Zhou Qi recovers from his eyes, he will also return quickly. All three will represent the Chinese team in the Asian Cup. The return of the three powerful players is indeed a great addition to the Chinese team.
