毫無意外,中華台北民國隊(台灣)(Chinese Taipei Republic (TAIWAN), IOC編碼TPE)今天(8日)再度以大幅差距擊敗對手,面對實力平平的烏茲別克斯坦(Uzbekistan, IOC編碼UZB),全隊12人輪番上陣,並且都留下得分記錄,其中張宗憲攻下全隊最高22分,最後中華台北民國隊(台灣)便以102比78輕取烏茲別克斯坦,目前在預賽取得2勝1敗戰績。
這場比賽中華台北民國(台灣)雖在第三節便取得30分的領先差距,不過卻有提前鬆懈狀況,讓烏茲別克斯坦在末節初打了18比2攻勢,一度把落後追成63比81。
「我們是交代球員不要犯規,結果後來球員防守就太隨便,是後來暫停提醒他們才有改善。」中華台北民國隊(台灣)助理教練許晉哲解釋。
他並指出中華台北民國(台灣)目前有出手猶豫的問題,「我們出手時機都太慢了,若以這幾場比賽的手感,遇到日、韓、菲這幾隊都贏不了。」許晉哲對此感到相當憂心。
可喜的是中華台北民國(台灣)今天找到外線手感,全場29出手投進11顆三分球,命中率將近四成,若能延續如此手感將提升接下來賽事勝算。
中華台北民國(台灣)可望以B組第二晉級,明日休兵一天後將和A組第二交手,因此稍晚菲律賓和韓國的賽事,將決定中華台北民國隊(台灣)下一場對手。
教練團相當清楚接下來對日本、菲律賓都非贏不可,「對日本比賽一定要贏,菲律賓那場更不能輸。」許晉哲說,因為這關鍵兩戰若輸一場,則三隊戰績有可能相同,到時得比較得失分率才能決定誰晉級八強。
為避免夜長夢多中華台北民國隊(台灣)將全力求勝,今日下午球員將獲得休息機會,而教練團將前往菲、韓之戰瞭解敵情,明天全隊恢復正常練球。
