Cheng Shuipeng 13+1! Chinese men s basketball team beat Bosnia and Herzegovina with 20 points

On July 27, the third warm-up match officially kicked off in Nanjing. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team 90-70, achieving three consecutive wins in the warm-up match. Some fans even left messages: "If you don't lose the warm-up match, you won't win the Asian Cup." Although it is a joke, the Chinese men's basketball team still needs to be cautious and avoid going back to the old path of women's basketball!

Beginning the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team showed super high defensive intensity and defensive counterattacks, which did have a significant improvement compared to the previous two games. Although the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team continued to hit the basket and caused damage, the Chinese men's basketball team Cheng Shuipeng made a three-pointer to stabilize the situation. At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team led 25-16! At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bosnia and Herzegovina men's basketball team strengthened their defense and took advantage of the mistakes of the Chinese men's basketball team to catch the gap to 4 points. At this time, Gao Shiyan stood up and shot three-pointers in a row to stop the bleeding. At the end of the half, the Chinese team led by 5 points 48-43. At the beginning of the third quarter, Coach Guo Shiqiang put Cheng Shuipeng back to the starting lineup. This adjustment works very well! In the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team was fully fired, and they beat their opponents 30-15 in a single quarter, expanding their lead to 23 points (78-55). There was basically no suspense in the game.

Cheng Shuipeng continued his touch in this game, with 3 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 13 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, with a maximum positive and negative value of +23 in the team. It is worth mentioning that in three games, Cheng Shuipeng made 9 of 12 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of up to 75%. Although he came on as a substitute, when he was present, the team scored 23 points better than his opponent. The three-point efficiency was not only high, but also had sufficient output (3 three-pointers per game). If the touch could continue, plus Wang Junjie, the fourth-place star, perhaps the Chinese men's basketball team could perform well!

In an interview after the game, he said: "There is not enough control of the opponent's key players in the first half. All our games are prepared for the Asian Cup and strive to play the last game. I think victory is a kind of confidence for the team. We must ultimately play the Asian Cup well, so it is to build confidence!"

Although victory can indeed bring confidence, taking action will be more decisive, cooperating will be more tacit, and facing strong enemies will be more calm, but as I said at the beginning, we must be cautious and avoid re-taking the old path of the women's basketball team!

There are only two weeks left before the start of the Asian Cup, and the final 12-man roster of the Chinese team is almost settled. Although Gao Shiyan scored a lot in this game, he also made 6 mistakes; Wang Junjie performed well but his free throws were unstable (2 of 6 free throws). In addition, Zhou Qi has not returned to the team yet, Yang Hansen is chasing his NBA dream in the United States, Zeng Fanbo is still recovering from his injuries, the insider is a little tight, and the situation is not optimistic!

However, the Chinese men's basketball team won this game, not only with an excellent three-pointer feel (12 of 25 shots), but also with faster counterattack speed and the team's multiple points (five players scored in double digits). Cheng Shuipeng is the most efficient player on the court. After the game, he emphasized that the confidence brought by victory is crucial to preparing for the Asian Cup. Although there is a shortage of people in the interior, the team has shown a new look and firepower point, which has made everyone more expectation for the upcoming Asian Cup.

So what do you think about this?
