Gap Between China Basketball And International Basketball From The London Olympics Basketball Games

When Chinese team appeared in Olympic Games Opening Ceremony of London Olympics, the commentator said "Chinese team will join in all the games except football, equestrian and handball." We felt grateful that basketball, the group event, was not excluded.Though Chinese men’s basketball team was lucky to obtain their tickets for the London Olympics, London Olympics told us "luck doesn’t always work, strength is the absolute principle." The scene in Wukesong Indoor Stadium four years ago in Beijing Olympics seemed like only yesterday. Now in London, how did Chinese men’s basketball team make you feel?Probably most fan didn’t have great expectations of this Chinese men’s basketball team, failure was not a surprise, but reasonable. Chinese men’s basketball team Always keep the first in Asia, top eighth in the world. We had to admit that this Chinese men’s basketball team without Yao Ming is the weakest one in London Olympics. We were familiar with most of the players, but meanwhile the future stars were not taken to London such as Wang Zhelin, Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhu Yanxi. Unfortunately, the first opponent of Chinese men’s basketball team in the group stage was Spain, which won the second place in Beijing Olympics and was the only one able to contend with the America. Such an encounter made Bob Donewald and his players confused. They didn’t know the reasonable condition in which to face the game. Conserving your strength may make the only confidence destroyed by the opponent; struggling hard may not gain good results. Fortunately, Spain didn’t attach too much importance to china like four years ago. The game was not pulled away; on the contrary, china was powerful. Maybe after Yi dunk Gasol most fans didn’t feel pity.This is a match loosing game but winning hearts, Yi proved himself in the international game again. He got30points and12rebounds in the key defense from Spain. The Chinese men’s basketball team gained unexpected confidence and praise. But during the following match made the Chinese fan absolutely disappointed, almost each match was a fiasco.The thesis uses video observation, literature survey, mathematical statistics, case analysis and logical analysis to make analysis of both of the attack and defense of Chinese men’s basketball team. In terms of attacking China’s only advantage is the high hit rate of three point ball in the exterior lines. The interior lines scoring ability is not strong or enough. In the match of Russian, there were only three free throws from interior lines; it is also the obvious change without Yao Ming. The interior lines scoring ability is not strong or enough, then the opportunity for the exterior is tiny.In defense, we can find from the scores that the opponents averagely scored80. In both interior and exterior lines, china scored little from the opponents’ errors.The main causes of the gap are the weaker counterforce compared with the opponents, the lack of basic basketball skills, the single method of scoring, the slow attack and defense, the lack of excellent point guard, the physical ability needs further strengthening. In the micro ways, on the contemporary stage of Chinese men’s basketball team, the main problems lie in the attack skill, the scoring ability, the scoring way, the activity area, the counterforce and coordination ability etc.
