Zeng Lingxu: Bogdan s healthy Serbia may not win the championship, but the team and Jokic have not been able to combine well

In a knockout match ending today, the Serbian men's basketball team lost to the Finnish men's basketball team 86-92 and stopped in the quarterfinals.

Former CBA player and current commentator Zeng Lingxu commented: "I looked back at Serbia's loss to Finland. I feel a little bit like that modern basketball emphasizes human ability. Look at Germany, Turkey, Greece, and Slovenia, these teams have stars. Of course, Serbia has Jokic, the world's number one player today, but what basketball has Serbia played over the years? It's its own system, it's fast transfer of the ball, pick-and-roll, and running without the ball. In short, the playing style is very team, but why is Jokic participating in the game? What results did not meet expectations, you can also say that Bogdan's injury caused all this, but if Bogdan had, he would definitely win the European championship? I don't think so! I think it is Serbia's basketball philosophy that has not been combined well with Jokic's personal abilities, and he has never found a best way to combine. He won the runner-up without Jokic in the 23 World Cup! So, when strong personal abilities are in front of them, their basketball philosophy has also fallen into deep thought. How to play in the future? They seem to be stopping at the intersection of an era."
