Chapter 534

"What? Foul?"

The Australian player who whistled was a little helpless, holding his head in his hands, chattering endlessly, and kept arguing that he didn't make a foul and that it was Ye Lin who was flopping.

The referee watched the game video from multiple angles repeatedly, and finally maintained the original penalty.

Tens of thousands of spectators felt that the penalty of this ball was completely correct.

Ye Lin lay on the ground and raised her arms high. Not only did he fool the audience, he even fooled the camera.

"Get up, free throw." The teammate pulled Ye Lin up from the ground, and smiled as she passed by the Australian team.

"You liar." The opponent's player gritted his molars and said viciously.

"To each other." Ye Lin shot back.

The referee returns to the table by playback for 0.5 seconds.

"We still have a chance." Australia is ready to use the remaining 0.5 seconds to create a "miracle".

"No, you have no chance." Ye Lin said in a cold tone.

Ye Lin hit the first ball steadily at the free throw line, and he deliberately missed the second ball. After the basketball knocked twice on the basket, it just used up the last 0.5 seconds, and the basketball finally popped out of the basket.

40 points, no more, no less, 40 points won.

Australia tried their best but still failed to stop the Chinese team.

And something even more murderous happened.

"No. 1, No. 4, No. 7, No. 11, No. 17!" Australia suddenly discovered that the numbers of the five Chinese players who played the last quarter together were exactly "40".

This is definitely not a coincidence, it must have been intentional.

This is indeed Fang Tianzheng's arrangement, the purpose is to completely win the game and restore everything that the Chinese team lost.

After the game, the Chinese team shook hands with the Australian team, but the Australian team rejected the Chinese team's handshake in such a disrespectful way with their hands behind their backs.

They want to embarrass the Chinese team.

At this moment, Mu Chenfeng immediately clasped his fists and "saluted" the opponent in the most representative way of China.

This action caused roaring applause from the audience, while the performance of the Australian team drew boos.

In this campaign, a total of 5 players from the Chinese team scored in double figures. Mu Chenfeng contributed a game-high 19 points, while all 12 players from the Chinese team scored in the account.

Balanced scoring points have already become a major feature of the Chinese team's current competition. Compared with the previous concentrated scoring, this year's Chinese team has shown unprecedented team basketball and selfless basketball.

The semi-finals of the Asian Cup were officially born.

Team China, Philippines, Japan, New Zealand.

The semi-final match took the form of drawing lots. As the captain of the host Japanese team, Fuji Kudo drew lots as a player representative, and his divine hand pushed the Japanese team to the edge of a cliff.

"Team China!" The name of the Chinese team was written on the tag in Kudo's second-hand possession.

This is the signing. The Chinese team is the strongest team among the top four teams, and the Chinese team has always been the nemesis of the Japanese team. The two teams have confronted a total of 17 times in international competitions. The Chinese team has a record of 15 wins and 2 losses, occupying an absolute advantage.

When the Japanese team learned that their opponent was the Chinese team, they were greatly suppressed in terms of momentum. Although the hosts played at home, the game was played by the players after all. Although the home court advantage was there, the Chinese team was much stronger in terms of hard power.

The Japanese team defeated Chinese Taipei with a score of 95:63 in the quarter-finals, winning by 32 points.

The Japanese team even hit the confidence of the Chinese Taipei players with a fierce attack when the game lost suspense for a while, which was very infuriating.

The Chinese team watched the second half of the game almost in a very angry state in the stands and witnessed the disastrous defeat of Chinese Taipei. As one of the Chinese teams, the Chinese national team has reason to help Chinese Taipei win back the "dignity" that belongs to the Chinese team.

"Take the lottery." Mu Chenfeng smiled after confirming his opponent.

Among the remaining three teams in the semi-finals, the Japanese team is the opponent that the Chinese team most hopes to meet, so that they can avenge Chinese Taipei.

"They beat Chinese Taipei by 32 points."

"Then we will win them by 64 points! Repay them double!"

Semifinal matchup:
Chinese team vs Japanese team.

Philippines vs New Zealand.

Just after the lottery ended, the United States also finished the last regular season game.

The Miami Heat finally defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in double overtime, creating a 74 wins and 8 losses in a single season.

The game was extremely fierce. The Clippers played a total of 12 players. In the end, only five players were left. The rest of the players were tired and injured. Fortunately, the Heat did not suffer from injuries.

The Heat ended the regular season perfectly and announced a deal with Seattle as soon as the playoffs ended. Gaia came to Miami in a "7 for 1" manner.

This is the first transaction after the opening of the trading window. The champions made up their last shortcoming. Their remaining task is to make up for the global team before the playoffs.

Mu Chenfeng will return to the team after completing the Asian Cup, just in time for the playoffs.

The Heat's first opponent in the playoffs is the Washington Wizards, while Los Angeles will stage a city derby in the first round.

The Chinese team has two days to rest and adjust to prepare for the semi-final two days later.

Having nothing to do, several members of the Chinese team decided to play in a nearby park for entertainment, but they happened to meet the players of the Japanese team.

After Kudo Fuji saw Mu Chenfeng and others, he took the initiative to say hello to the Chinese team, and the Chinese team members responded.

But Kudo Fuji was immediately called back by his teammates.

"They are our opponents in the next game. It is best not to have too much contact with them before the game." Teammate reminded.

"I'm just saying hello." Kudo Fuji explained.

"That's not okay, we are opponents and there is no need to be so friendly."

"That's right." At some point, Mu Chenfeng and others had come behind the Japanese team members, "We are opponents."

"Do you still remember what you did to Chinese Taipei in the last game? It doesn't matter if you don't remember, we all saw it, and we will pay double for the game the day after tomorrow." Mu Chenfeng said seriously.

Although the Chinese team and the Chinese Taipei team are two teams, they also represent China in the competition, and the bad behavior of the Japanese team is undoubtedly a provocation to Chinese basketball. Although the "little brother" lost the game, the "big brother" must help him get back his face.

"Double return?" The Japanese team members laughed disdainfully, "The double of 32 is 64."

"I don't need you to teach me how to count, just wait." After Mu Chenfeng said the last sentence, he walked away with the Chinese team members.
