The Chinese men’s basketball team won the championship by sheer luck
Thread Content
The Chinese men’s basketball team narrowly defeated Jordan 70:69 to win the 2011 Asian Basketball Championship and secure a spot in the 2012 London Olympics. Today’s match was intense and stressful; the team started poorly and failed to capitalize on its advantages from the first round. The fans in Wuhan even contributed to China’s loss by committing a technical foul. In the end, China managed to win by just one point, thanks to some lucky breaks – it was a tough battle that kept everyone on edge. Is it the fact that the Chinese men’s basketball team is not good enough, or did Jordan perform well today? ———————————————————————— Taking advantage of the festive atmosphere surrounding the championship, I would like to wish all the colleagues at our Vibration Machinery Company a happy National Day in advance.

Jordan really performed above their usual level. The Chinese men’s basketball team still has an advantage in Asia. As for games, winning is winning – there’s no such thing as luck. If the original poster keeps watching the NBA, they won’t think that winning by 1 point is a fluke. On the contrary, from the audience’s perspective alone, a close score is what makes something entertaining; in any competitive sport, a one-sided outcome lacks much excitement, as is the case with pingpong. . . . .
Good luck doesn’t come often; it’s better to improve one’s skills so as not to keep the fans in constant worry.
Reply to 3# solomono: I don’t understand why you keep saying that the Chinese team has an advantage in Asia In my opinion, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are absolutely top-tier players in Asia. The veteran Wang Zhizhi is the \"war god\" of this team. What about the others? There really is no advantage at all. Other teams can definitely find more ruthless members than these. (Zhu Fangyu and Dapeng are good, but it’s difficult for them to compete against the absolute strongest teams in Asia in their positions) ； Liu Wei, who lets things down at critical moments. . . . ) Those who have played basketball or watch it regularly know that a game involves at least five players, and in intense matches, it’s necessary to consider at least 3-4 substitute players who can take control of the game. Winning this competition was to some extent due to favorable circumstances and luck. Currently, **the team is still afraid of teams with superior strength, and even more so of those that combine strength with a certain level of skill; facing a team like Iran is really tough. Let’s take a look back at the match against the Russian university team in the warm-up games, and also consider Russia’s performance in the Universiade. I’m really worried about how far the Chinese team will go in London. If backup talent does not step in in a timely manner, as people gradually get older, these weaknesses will become more apparent.
Well said, especially when seeing someone with the Liu surname on the field – it’s really a test of one’s psychological endurance~~~
Reply to 5# pzhmotor: There are differences in understanding; perhaps what you consider an advantage is that feeling of being far ahead of the rest. The Chinese team does have many problems. There is no doubt that the Iranian men’s basketball team is strong in this Asian Championship; based on the statistics, their performance is also better than that of the Chinese team. However, the core team composed of Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, and Liu Wei remains the best in Asia.

Actually, I’m also an NBA fan, but not the type who focuses on skills. The Chinese team has players who are very old, while there are also newer players; they use nerve knives as well. It’s undeniable that they do have strength, but it still makes people worried.
The Chinese team is facing an issue of transition between new and experienced players, with a huge gap in skill levels between the starters and the substitutes. Compared to the competitions in the past two years, has there been quite a lot of improvement now?
