Alas.

Perhaps it's time to really re-examine the strength of the Japan men's basketball team.

If the first game 77-97 Germany is a dumpling, then the second game in the first half of the second game only lost to the host France by 5 points, which shows that it is really capable.

In the second quarter, the Japan men's basketball team even outscored France by two points.

This is France, which has the most luxurious twin towers in the world, but the Japan men's basketball team can compete with it.

Seeing that Hachimura can score a jumper on Wembanyama's head, I know that I think it is just a fantasy to lock him up with Zhang Zhenlin, Zhou Qi and others.

The good news is that considering that Hachimura only plays in international competitions and does not play in Asian competitions, the Chinese men's basketball team has no chance to meet him at all, so naturally there is no need to have a headache for defending him.

The bad news is that Yuta Watanabe, who has returned to the Japan B League, will play next year's Asian preliminary round if he is not injured or sick;

In the same way, Yuki Kawamura will go through the Olympics and will become stronger after joining the Grizzlies for the G League experience.

Therefore, the Japan men's basketball team without Hachimura, the Chinese men's basketball team that will fight at home next year and go out of the nest, is still not sure to win against them.

In particular, Yuki Kawamura, in a way, is more difficult to deal with than Hachimura, because he can also lead his teammates, especially with naturalized center Hawkinson, who can tear through the opponent's defense the most.

Back to the game.

After entering the second half, the Japan men's basketball team did not collapse as expected, and once again overtook the score.

Yuki Kawamura also contributed a famous scene, with a height of 1.72m, throwing a super long three-point on the head of Wembanyama, who is 2.26m.

After the third quarter, the Japan men's basketball team was still only 5 points behind France.

This is a result that no one imagined before the game, a one-sided game, and a suspenseful game.

Fortunately, Hachimura gave the hosts face, and at the beginning of the final quarter, he used a vicious offense Gobert to expel himself from the game.

However, even without Hachimura as the offensive core, the Japan men's basketball team will not collapse, because they still have Yuki Kawamura.

Yuki Kawamura, who was outside the three-point line, became a nightmare for France, and any interference became his sight.

In the middle of the final quarter, Yuki Kawamura single-handedly led the Japan men's basketball team to successfully overtake.

When Yuki Kawamura turned off the fire, his teammates were able to step up.

The Japan men's basketball team was supposed to win the game, but France had a stroke of genius, and player 85 hit a controversial 3+1 and dragged it into overtime.

In overtime, the momentum completely fell to France's side, although the Japan men's basketball team hit three points in succession in the last tens of seconds to no avail.

In the end, the Japan men's basketball team almost created a miracle, losing 90-94 to France and suffering two consecutive defeats at the Paris Olympics.

Kawamura scored six three-pointers and scored a game-high 29 points, plus seven rebounds and six assists, while Hachimura scored 24 points and three rebounds.

On the France side, no one scored 20, including Wembanyama, who had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Japan men's basketball team is absolutely defeated, and it is worthy of being the new hegemon of Asian basketball.

We should not be afraid of failure, we can praise our opponents, and most importantly, we should not be accustomed to failure and indifferent to failure.

As long as you can walk on the right path and find a path that suits you again, I believe that the Chinese men's basketball team will one day return to the top of the mountain!
