Nie Weiping: Yao Ming's performance was the best, and the biggest problem for China's men's basketball team is physical fitness.

The confrontation between Chinese and German men's basketball teams can be described as wonderful. Under the dangerous situation of only leading 2 points in the fourth quarter, the boys did not repeat the mistake of losing to Spain. They stood firm psychologically and eventually won the game.

Due to uneven player levels, it was indeed not easy for the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat Germany today. Yao Ming performed the best in this match, scoring 25 points and grabbing 11 rebounds alone. However, I feel that the coach overly relied on him, which led to his exhaustion at the last moment. Liu Wei also improved significantly in this game. Although young Yi Jianlian seemed a bit inexperienced, he still has a lot of room for improvement. As for Chen Jianghua, I am not very optimistic about him. He lacks a good sense of the overall game situation on the court, is too ball-sticky, and overly focused on shooting. There are many areas where his coordination and cooperation with teammates are less than satisfactory. In my view, he is not up to the task of being a starter.

The biggest problem currently facing the Chinese men's basketball team is physical fitness. In the first two quarters, whether against Spain or Germany, we played quite well. But as the game went on, physical fitness became a major hindrance for the Chinese team. I firmly believe that the Chinese men's basketball team has reached its limit in this Olympic Games. If they can improve their physical fitness in the future, they may still have potential to rise, but not in this Olympic Games.

On the other hand, Germany lost mainly due to their weak inside play, as China's defense created significant trouble for their breakthroughs. However, the Germans' three-point shots and their momentum shown in the final reversal left a deep impression. Dirk Nowitzki indeed has the demeanor of a superstar, and his skills are truly pleasing to the eye.
