Editor’s note:The Hangzhou Asian Games opened on September 23 and will end on October 8. The Chinese sports delegation recently announced the overall goal of participating in the Hangzhou Asian Games – to achieve double harvests in sports performance and spiritual civilization.
Jiefang Daily·Shangguan News City Affairs Channel and the School of Journalism and Communication of Shanghai Sport University jointly launched the column “Approaching the Hangzhou Asian Games” to experience the five major features of the Hangzhou Asian Games: “green, intelligent, humanistic, simple and beneficial to the people” and witness Asia The style of athletes, experience the “rhythm of the high school entrance examination” of Chinese athletes preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On September 25, the three-man basketball team of the Hangzhou Asian Games ushered in its first competition day. The Chinese three-man men’s basketball team defeated the Macau team of China 21-16 and got off to a good start. On the evening of the 27th, the Chinese team will face the Malaysian team.
Three-person basketball is an emerging sport. It appeared in the Asian Games for the second time after the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. The three-person basketball event of the Hangzhou Asian Games was held at the basketball court of Deqing Geographic Information Town, Huzhou City. During the period, a total of 2 gold medals were produced.
The biggest highlight is the Chinese three-person basketball men’s and women’s teams striving to defend their titles. With the help of the “east wind” of the Hangzhou Asian Games, China’s three-person basketball continues to “grow against the wind.”
Look at the players: they come from different places and embrace all rivers
The selection of players for the Chinese three-person basketball team reflects the characteristics of being open to all rivers. At the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, Huang Wenwei, Xiao Hailiang and other grassroots players represented the Chinese team and won the first three-person basketball Asian Games history.
The three-person basketball players who represent the national team in the Asian Games have gradually diversified their identities. The Chinese women’s team fielded a lineup led by Wan Jiyuan (WCBA Zhejiang Women’s Basketball Team), paired with Chen Minngling (WCBA Xinjiang Tianshan Women’s Basketball Team), Wang Xinyu (WCBA Jiangsu Women’s Basketball Team), and Wang Jiawui (Peking University Women’s Basketball Team); the men’s team fielded Zhao Jiaren (CBA Zhejiang Guangsha Men’s Basketball Team), Liu Yuxuan (Super Three Wuxi Huishan), Zhou Yanxu (Super Three Zhejiang Pulai), and Lu Pengcheng (Super Three Hubei Jiang Sturgeon).
Three-person basketball has the characteristics of high intensity, fast transition, and strong contingency. The difference between “professional” and “non-professional” in this project is weakened. The unique competitive method allows athletes from different origins and identities to fight side by side and serve the country.
Look at the schedule: 81 games in 7 days, “the town is busy”
During the Hangzhou Asian Games, the three-person basketball court in Huzhou Deqing Geo-Information Town was “a little busy.” The world’s first fixed three-person basketball venue will hold 81 three-person basketball games in seven days, with a maximum of 15 games in one day, lasting about eight hours without interruption. The audience can feast their eyes on it.
The intensive schedule is partly due to the large number of teams. There are 19 men’s teams and 15 women’s teams in the three-person basketball event of the Hangzhou Asian Games, divided into 8 groups based on international rankings. China’s three-person men’s basketball team is in Group C with China’s Macau team, India team and Malaysian team; China’s three-person women’s basketball team is in Group A with India team and Uzbekistan team.
On the other hand, time is tight. The regular time of a three-person basketball game is 10 minutes, and each attack time is only 12 seconds. The first team to score 21 points or more wins, so the outcome of a basketball game can be decided in less than half an hour.
The Chinese three-person basketball national team must be fully prepared for these 10 minutes. According to FIBA’s latest rankings, the paper strength of China’s three-person men’s national basketball team (No. 1 in Asia and No. 5 in the world) and China’s three-person women’s national basketball team (No. 1 in Asia and No. 1 in the world) is better than that of the same group. The opponent is much higher. However, there is great uncertainty in three-person basketball, and the Chinese three-person women’s basketball team has temporarily changed its players. In the round-robin stage, the Chinese team will strive to qualify for the top spot and directly advance to the quarter-finals, and prepare in advance for strong Asian teams such as Japan and Mongolia.
The three-person basketball game is not only a competition for the Chinese team, but also a venue for the organizers of the competition. The reason behind “the town is busy” is that China has the professional hardware facilities to host an international three-person basketball event with a dense schedule. This is not only the highlight of the Hangzhou Asian Games, but also the highlight of China’s three-person basketball.
Watch the events: The Asian Games effect is blooming everywhere
During the Asian Games cycle from the Jakarta Asian Games to the Hangzhou Asian Games, Chinese three-person basketball has blossomed everywhere. At the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, China’s three-person basketball team reached the top of Asia; in 2019, China’s three-person women’s basketball team won the World Cup; at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, China’s three-person women’s basketball team won the third place.
The development of three-person basketball in China has entered the fast lane. Professional competitions and folk competitions are in full swing across the country. In 2022, China’s three-person basketball competition officially kicked off; the FIBA 3X3 Masters Tournament was held in many places; the 3X3 Golden League continues to provide a stage for grassroots basketball enthusiasts to show themselves.
At the same time, various provinces and cities actively promote three-person basketball. Shanghai continues to use actions to promote the development of three-person basketball in China.The head coaches of the men’s and women’s three-person basketball teams in this Asian Games, Wang Zhanyu and Xu Jiamin, are both outstanding talents from Shanghai. The Chinese three-person basketball national team training match was also held at Shanghai Sport University.
In terms of events, Shanghai has three professional teams in the Super Three League (Shanghai Jiushi, Shanghai Shanghai Shishi, and Shanghai Hengsha Yumin), has created independent IP events such as the MAGIC3 Shanghai Youth Three-on-Three Super Basketball Game, and introduced international Top-level events such as the Basketball Federation 3-person Basketball Shanghai Challenge.
Sports projects often need popular events to inject vitality into their growth. With the help of the “east wind” of the Hangzhou Asian Games, China’s three-person basketball may be able to enter a new development cycle and “grow against the wind.”
