The Japanese men's basketball team lost its first game in the Olympic qualifying tournament by 36 points to the European powerhouse Italy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The loss of this game can be said to be all-encompassing.

And basketball is less fortuitous, and the chances of an upset are really slim.

The first game can be regarded as accumulating experience, and the next game will be a real opportunity for the Japanese pair.

Because their opponent is Angola, which is the closest in this group.

However, after the opening of the game, the Japanese team did not show their tactical superiority, but the opponent Angola played with momentum and played their favorite "hot basketball"

Fortunately, Amu is in good shape here, so that the Japanese team does not fall behind too much.

And in this game, it seems that the Japanese team made a lot of mistakes.

"Smack~!!"

As he spoke, Sler's long pass was cut off in the air by the Angolan striker.

The Angolan point guard holds the ball and waits for his teammates to intersperse.

The defender is pointing the ball directly towards the basket.

“duang~！！！！”

"Ah~!!!!"

The Angolan small forward received the ball in the air and smashed it directly into the air.

Nice air relay.

The momentum of the Angolan team is wave after wave, and this kind of momentum is created by their hard work, and it is also cultivated by the Japanese team's mistakes one by one.

"Toot ~ !!"

Coach Hashiba called a timeout, and the Japanese team played a little panicked.

Although Yu Chai said before not to think about winning or losing, however, when you have the opportunity to win the game, as a head coach of competitive sports, you should still have some ambitions~!!

"Brush~!!!"

After the pause, it was Amu who hit a long shot from the outside, and the best state of the entire Japanese team was Amu.

However, Angola also took advantage of this side, and once again used their strong physical fitness to crush into the interior line and cause a foul.

"Brush~!!"

"Brush~!!"

Hit both free throws.

Angola still maintain the lead on the field, and the Japanese team must reduce their mistakes, otherwise, Angola's morale is getting higher and higher.

Angola's side is still dominated by individual offense, the team's momentum is there, and the individual offense is still quite sharp, if the attack is not smooth and the hit rate drops, that person's offense will become Angola's weakness.

"Bell~!!"

Sure enough, now this weakness has slowly manifested, and the small defender comes to the front court to throw, and the ball is ringing again.

However, Angola is fighting for rebounds in the frontcourt very fiercely, and the gap between the two teams in terms of physical fitness is still relatively large.

"Bell~!!"

After the Angolan small forward grabbed the rebound, he wanted to make a basket directly in the air, but the ball came out of the frame.

Because Uchiyama is a long weaver here, it looks a little messy.

Uchiyama has completely lost his rebounding position.

Here, the Angolan big forward once again rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, and threw a small shot directly near the baseline.

“，，，，”

However, he threw a bridge.

The Angolan players are indeed rough in terms of technology.

But they can just grab it~!!

After the ball reached the other side of the basket, the Angolan center once again took the frontcourt rebound.

Japan has already conceded three rebounds in a row.

“duang~！！！！”

This time, Angola did not waste another opportunity, the big center directly dribbled the ball, and the violent clasp of both hands was heavy.

Losing three rebounds in a row is something you shouldn't have.

Coach Yuchai was also shaking his head on the sidelines, not very satisfied with the performance of the players.

The Angolan team regained their familiar feeling and their momentum ball was played again, which allowed them to play quite easily again in the following time.

Sure enough, in the following game, Angola maintained the lead on the field with wave after wave of small climaxes.

Although the lead was not much, the Japanese team was always suppressed on the field.

On the Japanese side, only Amu can relieve the scoring pressure for the team, and the rest of the team does not seem to be in good shape.

It's not so much that I'm not in shape, but that I'm scared of my opponent, and the air operations again and again make the players of the Japanese team a little desperate.

In the fourth quarter, the Japanese team tried to fight back, but they all failed.

The Angolan team, which sees the hope of victory, is difficult to beat.

They are such simple players, if there is a chance to win, they will go all out to hold on to the victory, and if they are beaten by the opponent, they will even want to quit the game outright.

The final score was fixed at 70:79.

The Japanese team did not take advantage of the Angolan team, which is closest to the strength of the same group, and the next game will be really difficult, and the Japanese team, which has lost two consecutive games, can make many changes.

But in fact, the defeat against Angola was an absolute blow to the young Japanese men's basketball team, who sleepwalked throughout the game against Puerto Rico in the Americas, making as many as 28 turnovers.

In the end, they lost the third game with a disparity of 56:102.

The 46-point difference may have reflected the most real gap between the Japanese men's basketball team and the world's strongest teams.

Perhaps such a fiasco can make the players recognize themselves, put down their burdens, and fight hard.

Forget about winning and focus on the game.

As for entering the Olympic Games, the Japanese men's basketball team, which has lost three in a row, can be said to have said goodbye in advance, and it takes too many factors to create a miracle.

In the fourth match, Japan played against the strongest team in the group, Serbia.

Although Serbia does not have a few players with NBA backgrounds, they are all among the best in the European league.

Compared to other teams, the Serbian team has a very high degree of cooperation.

Teodosic, known as Europe's No. 1 point guard, Markovic, a stable point on the front, and so on.

And they have won three consecutive games in the previous game, the team's morale is high, and they have a good chance to win the first place of Xiaozu and directly lock in a place that appears.

Therefore, this game is extremely difficult for the Japanese team.

Coach Hashiba made some changes to the team's starting lineup before the game, elevating Akagi to the starting position.

Such considerations may be due to Serbia's strong physical confrontation ability.

Mikami has gone through the previous three games, and there are more or less deficiencies in physical fitness, after all, he has just played a season.

After the start of the game, it was really difficult for the Japanese team to deal with the opponent's attack, not only could not make any performance on the defensive end, but it was even difficult for the opponent to shoot on the offensive end.

The first quarter of the game was almost halfway through, and the Japanese team had not yet scored.

"Brush~!!"

Finally, Akagi picked up a leak on the inside and put the ball in.

The first point of the game was obtained, but the opponent had already scored 23 points.

The Japanese team was really powerless in the whole game.

"For a team like the Japanese team, most of the players are in the domestic league, and they rarely have the opportunity to participate in international competitions, so they are always so self-contained, and they are gradually separated from world basketball, so it is normal to come to such a world tournament coldly, and they don't play well~!!"

The guests who commented on the Olympics sighed as they watched the one-sided game.

Indeed, as he said, this is not only the environment of Japanese basketball, but also the whole of Asian basketball.

If you have the chance, you can only come back again. (To be continued.) )
