On August 12, 2000, the Chinese national basketball team departed from Beijing to Seoul, South Korea, where it will play a friendly game against the South Korean men's national basketball team, and then travel to Tokyo to play a friendly game against the Japanese men's national basketball team, and then go to Australia to participate in this year's Olympic Games.

The Korean men's basketball team is also a traditional powerhouse in Asia, and once reached the top 8 of the Olympic Games, but that was more than 50 years ago, with the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 70s, South Korea was inevitably pressed by the Chinese men's basketball team. Basically all basketball events in Asia, the final is between China and South Korea, and South Korea is basically beaten by the Chinese men's basketball team, last year's Asian Championships, known as the strongest South Korean men's national basketball team in 20 years, lost to the Chinese men's basketball team 45-63 in the final, and the dream of impacting the Olympic Games was once again extinguished by China, and after the game, Xu Zai, who was called South Korea's Jordan, the scene of crying and tears, is also a microcosm of his 10 years of national team career facing the Chinese men's basketball team.

Originally, the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team was very reasonable, and the combination of the old, middle and young was basically perfect, but with the two pillars Liu Yudong and Hu Shiqiang affected by injuries, the current men's basketball team is also in a situation of internal and external difficulties, and the younger generation can not provoke the beam, and at the same time, after May this year, several warm-up games of the Chinese men's basketball team were lost miserably, in this case, in order to build confidence for the young men who are about to play in Sydney, the Chinese Basketball Association contacted several of their own defeats, the South Korean men's basketball teamThe Japanese men's basketball team played a few warm-up games, and while building confidence, they also took the opportunity of the game to maintain their corresponding condition.

On August 14, after the Chinese men's basketball team arrived in Seoul, after a little rest, it was time to start a friendly match with the South Korean men's basketball team.

Due to last year's Asian Championships, the South Korean men's basketball team thought that it was really wronged to lose, and it has never been able to swallow this breath, so in this game, the long-legged Oba of the South Korean men's basketball team is also riveting, wanting to teach the Huaguo men's basketball team a lesson that lacks major generals.

At 5 p.m. Korean time, the largest basketball stadium in Seoul, which can accommodate 13,000 people Seoul Jamsil Indoor Stadium, is now full, because 10 days in advance, South Korea's media began to promote this "revenge war", so the loyal supporters of the South Korean national team rushed to the capital from all over South Korea two days in advance to support their home team. If you don't know it, you think this game is the final of a major event.

At half past 6 o'clock in the evening, the friendly match of the Chinese men's basketball team VS the South Korean men's basketball team officially kicked off, and the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team was center Wang Zhizhi, big forward Battle, small forward Li Nan, scoring guard Zheng Wu, and organization guard Li Xiaoyong. Since entering the Huaguo men's basketball team, Meng Xu has found a very strange point, in this Huaguo men's basketball national team, there is only Liu Yudong as a big forward, not even a substitute power forward, plus his total of 12 Chinese basketball national team, there are 6 of them are swing guards, originally Meng Xu thought that this national team was going to play a big and four small tactics, after all, the current Wang Zhizhi is already a center with strong dominance in the CBA, and Wang Zhizhi's ability to respond is also very good. It's just that Meng Xu was a little surprised that the Huaguo men's basketball team is now playing a double-tower tactic, but fortunately, Meng Xu's Spurs are also playing a double-tower tactic, so in the national team, Meng Xu did not show any discomfort, and even without the guidance of Coach Jiang Quan, he already knew his tactical position and what he should do on the court.

Compared with last year's Asian Championships, the starting lineup of the South Korean men's basketball team has basically not changed at all, namely center Xu Zhangxun, big forward Park Jae-sub, small forward Zhao Chengyuan, scoring guard Xu Zai, and organization guard Lee Sang-min. And in this game, there was also a big man on the bench of the South Korean team who was a little taller than Wang Zhizhi, a big man named Ha Seung Town, who was not yet 17 years old this year, but he was already selected for the Korean men's national basketball team and became the youngest player ever in the Korean men's national basketball team. And he is the man who continues to be expected by the entire Korean basketball community to break this humiliating hat.

Compared with last year's Asian Championships, the strength of the Huaguo men's basketball team after losing Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong has been greatly reduced, but relying on its height advantage, it can also be inseparable from the South Korean team.

And now after seeing the situation on the court, Coach Jiang Quan also shook his head, and then glanced at Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong who were sitting on the bench in civilian clothes. Battle and Li Nan, who replaced the two in this game, are both young people with great potential, but potential is not equal to strength, Battle's offensive ability and Liu Yudong are too far away to be a core in the twin tower tactics, and Li Nan also lacks Hu Weidong's comprehensiveness, Li Nan, who has always served as Hu Weidong's substitute, has always been a very reassuring substitute player, but Li Nan, who started this game, did not perform well, Not only did he lose his accurate 3 points in the past, but he also frequently lost his position defensively.

"Their defense is terrible." Looking at the game between the main players of the two teams on the court, Meng Xu said in his heart that whether it is the Chinese men's basketball team or the South Korean men's basketball team, their defensive level is worse than that of the NBA, and perhaps their defense is much worse than those strong teams in the ACC league. Especially the players of the South Korean team, their defense is not to mention the system, they don't even have basic rules, they are basically one-on-one mad dog defense, not to mention defensive rotation, packing, and even the basic card position when grabbing rebounds.
