Held on! Another thrilling comeback! The Chinese men's basketball team won.

The Chinese men's basketball team, once trailing by double digits, staged a 100-93 comeback against the provincial team in Manila.

Securing two consecutive wins in this window period, they regained the initiative to advance to the World Cup—a commendable outcome from the results.

This weekend's game was truly a perilous victory.

Brother Di briefly shares three points.

1. Why was it so difficult? It feels like the Chinese team underestimated their opponent.

After defeating Japan, they seemed overly relaxed, with substitutions in the first half being quite casual.

Have you ever seen a 12-man rotation in two quarters without foul trouble? He Xining was hot from the field but got substituted out.

Substituting Jiao Boqiao in for the last possession of the first half, which led to a turnover and conceding a three-pointer...

Zhao Rui and others were also reckless on offense; even after being blocked three times by the tall center Gao Bokai, they kept forcing drives.

We scored 100 points, but I'd only give the process a 65...

2. For most of the game, we played at the opponent's pace.

Recalling Brother Di's preview from yesterday: For the Chinese men's basketball team, the three key defensive focuses are Chen Yingjun, Lin Tingqian, and the interior presence Gao Bokai.

As expected, pick-and-rolls and defending them would remain central themes.

How to defend Chen Yingjun (Coach Guo Shiqiang's top disciple from Guangzhou)? Refer to how Wang Bo of Guangsha handled him in last season's finals.

Double-teaming, hard hedging, applying physical pressure—his passing speed is actually average.

How to defend Lin Tingqian?

Gao Shiyan can take on this task: deny three-pointers and force him into isolation plays.

However, in this game, the Chinese men's basketball team did not apply strong pressure on the opponent's two key guards from the start.

Our guards didn't bring the same intensity they show against foreign players in the league.

Once Chen Yingjun and Lin Tingqian got into their rhythm, they became like "foreign players".

All sorts of miraculous shots, even banked-in three-pointers appeared.

Outshoot them? They're not afraid!

Outrun them in transition? That's even more their forte.

Fortunately, our outside shooting was accurate today, especially Zhu Junlong, who was almost playing like Klay Thompson...

If we couldn't hit those open shots, the situation would have been truly dangerous.

3. How did the Chinese men's basketball team turn it around?

On one hand, the opponent used a 7-man rotation and genuinely ran out of gas by the end.

From our own perspective, we finally leveraged our physical advantages in the end, with Li Hongquan's defensive efforts in the final quarter being crucial.

The offense from Zhao Jiwei and Zhu Junlong, Hu Jinqiu's diligence...

By the way, special thanks to Comrade Lu Junxiang for his offensive decision-making in the final moments.

When you come to Shenzhen, Brother Di will treat you to trotter rice...
