Chapter 523
As the biggest opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage, it is also difficult to parry when facing the five starters of the Chinese team.

The point difference was stretched to double digits at the end of halftime. This is the first time in the past five years that the Chinese team has led the Iranian team in the top Asian competitions, and the balance of victory has tilted towards the Chinese team.

However, the tenacity of the Iranian team continued the suspense of the game. In the third quarter, even under the joint performance of Mohammad and Kamrani, the Iranian team led the Chinese team in single quarter scoring.

After running wild in a single quarter and scoring 13 points, Kamrani seemed to have used up his touch. He played extremely badly in the fourth quarter. He took 5 shots in a single quarter but failed to score a single goal. The Iranian team could only rely on Muhammad to support the team.

In the past few years when the Iranian team dominated Asia, the Iranian team has always relied on internal and external integration and a tough style of play to win. But this time they met their nemesis. The Chinese team used flexible movement and excellent overall defensive ability to dismantle the Iranian team. They scored more than 103 points in international competitions, and while they played an unsolvable attack, they also completely restricted their opponents. The 75 points also allowed the Iranian team to create the lowest score in recent years.

The Chinese team defeated the Asian overlord Iran with a big score. The group qualifying is very good, and the Iranian team is regarded as the favorite to win the Asian Cup. This victory made the former king of Asia, the probability of winning the championship of the Chinese team directly climbed to the first place among the 16 participating teams.

Although he lost the game, Muhammad was able to leave the field with his head held high. He made 25 shots and hit 13 of them, with a shooting percentage of more than 50%. He scored a double-double of 32 points and 11 rebounds.

Mohammad is indeed the absolute core of Iran. Under the restrictions of the Chinese team, he can still get such data. Kamrani also played well, scoring 20 points and 9 assists. However, his teammates played too badly, causing the team to collapse and lose the game.

After the game, Muhammad skipped the final handshake and chose to leave alone.

In the standings of Group A, the Chinese team temporarily ranks first. If the Iranian team wants to appear, it must win the next game against Pakistan and Myanmar.

Pakistan is not a big threat in Group A. Their basketball level is not high, but the team is very united. This temporary team made up of various professions is very similar to the Iceland team in the World Cup.

They don't even have a formal basketball training hall, and they gather and train on the open-air court.

In the afternoon, in the match between Pakistan and Myanmar, the players of the national team chose to watch the match on the spot. They wanted to see the strength of the team assembled under the open air.

50:14! ! !

It is hard to imagine that this is the score of the two teams before half-time, and the leading side is Pakistan.

"No matter how bad Myanmar's strength is, it won't be able to score only 14 points." Ye Lin said slowly.

The point is that the 14 points scored by the Myanmar team did not even have a single sports goal, all of which came from free throws.

"Compared to the Burmese team, I care more about Pakistan. Their performance is simply too unexpected." Su Miao's face was not so relaxed, and his expression was a little serious.

As the next opponent of the Chinese team, Pakistan's performance is enough to make the Chinese team pay attention to it.

Pakistan is not as weak as the outside world imagined. This temporary team is much inferior in ability, but their love for basketball is no less than anyone else.

"Don't underestimate Pakistan, the next game will not be easy." Mu Chenfeng reminded the players that this Pakistan team's ability to score such points has an inseparable relationship with the opponent's strength, but in the final analysis, their desire to win is stronger, and Pakistan has no clear core, and everyone's scores are average.

In the end, the Pakistan team defeated the Myanmar team 88:32. The score was very different. However, due to physical reasons, the Pakistan team's state declined at the last moment, but what they had built before was enough to support them to win the game.

After the game, the team members danced their battle dance excitedly.

The result of this game forced the Iranian team to temporarily rank third in Group A. The next opponent they will face is the Myanmar team that just lost to Pakistan by a big score. This time they have fallen into a veritable death group and can only become the experience babies of other teams.

The score of the group stage is based on the win-loss ranking. In the case of the same win and loss, the net difference will be sorted. Because winning the opponent by 50+ points, Pakistan defeated the Chinese team in the group standings and temporarily ranked first in Group A. This is a situation that no one expected.

The Chinese team ranked second.

Pakistan's big victory also forced Iran to win as much as possible in the following games, so that in the case of a tie, the net difference will be judged.

In the group stage of the international arena, the most regrettable thing is that the team with the same win and loss loses to the opponent in terms of point difference.

When the Chinese team faces Pakistan, there is a high probability that they will win the game, but because of the friendship between China and Pakistan, the coaching staff of the Chinese team will definitely put forward "requirements" to the team before the game. Even if the Chinese team wins, the point difference will not be too big.

Therefore, if the Iranian team wants to qualify for the group, it must win as many points as possible in the next two games to make up for the difference between Pakistan and Myanmar.

No matter how the opponent plays, the form of the Chinese team's group qualifying is still very clear.

The two games on the first match day of Group A were finished, but Mu Chenfeng did not go back to the hotel with the team, but was silently watching the situation on the other side of the ocean. Today, the Miami Heat will challenge the Dallas Mavericks in an away game. They have just won 28 consecutive victories and want to launch an impact towards the 29th consecutive victory.
