Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 366 Advancing to the Final Four of the Asian Championships

Zhou Yu's amazing performance made Liu Yudong envious. He jumped up and down, hugged his neck and patted his back, and praised with all his might:
"Big Zhi, you are too good. You almost defeated the entire Lebanese team on your own. I think you are almost becoming a 'Dugu Defeat'."

"Brother Dong, my praise is due to your careful guidance and care back then to achieve what I am today."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"That's right. When you first came to the Bayi team, you couldn't even shoot. I taught you by hand. Also, you didn't dare to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I accompanied you all the way."

Liu Yudong smiled proudly.

Zhou Yu looked at him with a dark face, and secretly complained, was he really that unbearable back then? Liu Yudong had no bottom line when he was bragging.

Liu Yudong didn't finish this, he turned around and looked around at his teammates, and said proudly:

"Did you see that Dazhi came from our Bayi team, and his level is different."

"What does it have to do with him if his level is different? It depends on how he is embarrassed."

"Yeah, look at the shape of his head, it's shaved like a flat shovel, and he's ashamed to come out and fool people."

Wu Qinglong and Wu Naiqun curled their lips and vented their dissatisfaction in a low voice.

It didn't take long for the Chinese team to enter the third quarter in a cheerful and festive atmosphere.

In the third quarter of the game, Gong Luming sent all the substitutes to play.

Point guard: Ah Dijiang, shooting guard: Wu Qinglong, small forward: Li Nan, power forward: Liu Yudong, center: Wu Naiqun.

The Lebanese team naturally also sent a substitute to fight, but when the two sides met, people suddenly discovered that the strength of the Chinese team's substitute was not much different from that of the main force, while the Lebanese substitute was really a substitute, and the strength was very high.

Wu Qinglong, who had been holding back for a long time, came up with a explosive three-pointer, which went into the net hollowly, and the Lebanese team suffered a "head blow".

The Lebanese team's subsequent offense was disorderly. Under the defense of the Chinese team, they finally made a hasty mid-range shot. As a result, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

After Wu Naiqun grabbed the rebound, he threw it to Ah's Jiang. Ah's Jiang galloped all the way with the ball, which was unstoppable. In the end, he used a wonderful "one-stop" layup and gently sent the ball into the basket!

"61:39", at the beginning of the third quarter, the Chinese team extended the lead to 22 points in one fell swoop with lightning speed!
"Hurry up and tell the players on the field for me to relax and play freely. We will lose this game."

The head coach of the Lebanese team slowly closed his eyes and spoke weakly to the interpreter beside him.

"Coach, the players on the field are all from the local area. They can understand what you say."

The translator blinked in surprise and reminded.

"What nonsense! I know they can understand. Didn't I say I'm tired? Can't I take a break!"

The head coach of the Lebanese team immediately became furious.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The translator stuck out his tongue, and immediately got up and shouted at the field:
"Listen well, the coach asked me to tell you, stop doing unnecessary resistance, we will lose this game!"

"Stupid! I want you to tell them to relax, who made you disturb the morale of the army!"

The head coach of the Lebanese team immediately got up in a rage, slapped the translator on the back of the head, and directly slapped his glasses away.

With the Chinese team's sudden shots from inside and outside, and blossoming from all sides, the third quarter of the game immediately turned into an exhibition match. The fans from Saudi Arabia were eye-opening and finally saw what the real "Asian glory" is. They soon became Fans of the Chinese team cheered for the Chinese team in blunt Chinese.

After the third quarter, the score between the two sides became "91:63". The Chinese team led the Lebanese team by as many as 28 points, and the game completely lost suspense.

In this section of the game, the Chinese team made 10 of 7 three-pointers. Among them, Wu Qinglong, the "Random Cannon", hit 4 three-pointers, and "Little Li Feidao" Li Nan hit 3 three-pointers.

In the fourth quarter, the game was reduced to "going through the motions".

When the electronic long sounder sounded at the end of the game, the score was fixed at "123:88". With a huge advantage of 35 points, the Chinese team easily won this "competition for the top of Group A".

After the game, the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation personally called to congratulate the Chinese team, saying that the wonderful performance of the Chinese team has made important contributions to promoting the level of Asian basketball to a new level.

The media from various Asian countries also published the headlines on the front pages of the newspapers, detailing the super strength of the Chinese team, especially Zhou Yu, saying that he is not only China's "Moving Great Wall", but also "the number one basketball player in Asia".

After all the group matches were over, the top eight list of the Asian Championships also clearly surfaced.

Group A: The Chinese team ranked first in the group with 9 points and a record of three victories; the Lebanon team ranked second in the group with 6 points and a record of two wins and one loss.

Group B: The South Korean team has won all three games, with 9 points, securing the first place in the group; the Qatar team has two wins and one loss, with 6 points, ranking second in the group.

Group C: Iran won all three games, with 9 points, ranking first in the group; Singapore had two wins and one loss, with 6 points, ranking second in the group.

Group D: The Japanese team and the host Saudi team both had two wins and one loss, with 6 points each. The Japanese team ranked first in the group due to their advantage in point difference, and the Saudi team ranked second in the group.

The quarter-finals will adopt a cross-knockout format, with China VS Qatar, South Korea VS Lebanon, Iran VS Saudi Arabia, and Japan VS Singapore.

It should be said that the Chinese team still has a greater psychological advantage against the Qatar team. They have basically never lost in their previous games, and they have led by more than [-] points every time.

The Qatar team is equivalent to the smaller Lebanon team. The players have good physical fitness and good jumping. However, the overall tactical awareness is not strong, and their basketball skills are mediocre.

Before the game, Gong Luming and Wang Fei still emphasized the overall cooperation to the players, using Zhou Yu's inside containment and Hu Weidong's breakthrough with the ball to activate the outside firepower and use the three-pointer to get rid of the opponent.

The three-point shot has always been the magic weapon of the Chinese team. As long as it can be shot, it will not be a problem to win the opponent.

The next day, the eight-to-four match between the Chinese team and the Qatar team came as scheduled.

As the Chinese team has just gone through a contest with the Lebanese team, the Chinese team is more adapted to physical confrontation, and it is more handy to play the game.

In the first quarter, the Chinese team led Qatar by as many as 28 points with "18:10".

In the second quarter, the Chinese team pursued the victory and continued to expand their lead. At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led the Qatar team by 57 points with "41:16".

In the third quarter, the Chinese team made persistent efforts and led the Qatar team by "83:57", directly allowing the fourth quarter to enter "garbage time".

At the moment when the final electronic buzzer sounded, the Chinese team scored another 106 points, and finally defeated the Qatar team with "79:27", a huge lead of [-] points, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Asian Championships.

In this game, although Zhou Yu only scored 21 points, he grabbed 15 rebounds and sent out 12 assists. He scored an astonishing "triple-double" data, and it was achieved in the case of "clocking out of work" in two quarters. The strength can be called terrifying.

Another terrifying statistic is that the Chinese team made 26 of 19 three-pointers in this game, setting a new record for three-pointers in a single game in the Asian Championships, and shot Qatar into a sieve from beyond the three-point line.

本场比赛结束没多久，另三场淘汰赛的结果也新鲜出炉：韩国队以“93:81”击败黎巴嫩队；伊朗队以“85:83”险胜东道主沙特队；日本队以“87:68”轻松搞定新加坡队。

The semi-final matches are as follows:
Chinese team VS South Korean team; Iranian team VS Japanese team.
