Is the prospect of the men s basketball semi-finals optimistic by CCTV? CCTV5 will not broadcast the third place game: Is the Chinese team really stable?

On August 16, the Asian Cup semi-finals of the Men's Basketball Team will officially begin, and the Chinese team will face New Zealand, which is also a focus battle that has attracted much attention from Chinese fans. CCTV naturally dares not neglect this focus battle. CCTV5 will be broadcast throughout the two semi-finals of the Asian Cup. However, it is quite special that according to the CCTV program trailer, they will also broadcast the men's basketball team's Asian Cup final battle in the early morning of the 18th, but CCTV5 does not plan to broadcast the third place battle. Does this mean that CCTV is also optimistic that the Chinese team can eliminate New Zealand and advance to the finals? Is the Chinese team really stable?

In recent years, the Chinese men's basketball team is in a trough, and the team has suffered two consecutive defeats in the World Cup and missed the Olympics twice. As the former Asian basketball overlord, the performance of the Chinese team is indeed disappointing. However, after Guo Shiqiang took over the Chinese team, the men's basketball team has started to get on the right track. In the past two years, the Chinese team has also accelerated the speed of renewal. A large number of talented players such as Wang Junjie, Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo, and Cui Yongxi have gradually emerged, which has also injected new blood into the Chinese team.

This time in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team was able to reach the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, but in fact they have achieved the set goals. After all, main players such as Zhou Qi, Yang Hansen, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, Zeng Fanbo and Cui Yongxi are all absent due to injuries or special reasons. At present, this Chinese team can only be regarded as half of the national team lineup. It is no longer easy to be able to win 3 wins and 0 losses in the group stage and advance to the first place in the group. In the knockout stage, the Chinese team also withstood the pressure and finally narrowly defeated their opponents with an advantage of 8 points. After 8 years, they reached the semi-finals of the Asian Cup again.

And for the two semi-finals, CCTV is also particularly powerful. The Chinese team's match against New Zealand was scheduled to be held at 19 pm on the 16th, and CCTV will broadcast the entire process. For another game at 0:00 a.m. on the 17th, Iran will also broadcast it against Australia. However, it is quite interesting that for the two final matches of the men's basketball team's Asian Cup, CCTV5 finally chose to broadcast the championship battle held at 0 a.m. on the 18th. As for the third place third place competition that started at 19:00 on the 17th (arranged on CCTV5+), CCTV5 has no broadcast arrangements.

Can you see from this subtle details that CCTV is actually optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team. After all, according to previous practice, CCTV will definitely broadcast the Chinese men's basketball game. However, CCTV5 did not choose to broadcast the third place competition. Whether this indirectly shows that CCTV is actually optimistic that the Chinese team will eliminate New Zealand in the semi-finals. After all, from the current strength, the Chinese team is very close to New Zealand, and the two teams have their own strengths. Although the Chinese team is at a disadvantage in the back line, their inside advantage is advantageous. If Hu Jinqiu, Yu Jiahao and Wang Junjie can beat their opponents in the inside, the Chinese team will have a chance to overturn their opponents.

However, for the current Chinese team, we still cannot be careless. Although the Chinese team does have hope of defeating New Zealand. However, considering that New Zealand was able to perform a big reversal when it was once 22 points behind Lebanon, the Chinese team should be thriving when facing them and not giving their opponents any chance. As the team's head coach, Guo Shiqiang should also reduce the pressure on the players appropriately. Never let players bear the psychological burden of wanting to win and afraid of losing. In this way, players' performance will be extremely prone to abnormalities.
