Chapter 310 Save face
After the first training, Tianyang has conveyed the importance of self-confidence to his teammates very vividly.

In the next few days, he stopped talking with Guo Ailun and other defenders as a 'master'.

According to the plan, he only designed a few sets of relatively simple tactics based on the technical characteristics of the blue team players and considering the tight time, mainly covering outside without the ball to create space for him.

In addition, Tianyang also made special adjustments for the audience who seemed to need no training.

He is not afraid of the three-man double-team, but worried that the ball will be passed out and the processing speed will be too slow.

……

On August 8th, Tianyang and his teammates embarked on a journey to the Asian Cup.

At the airport, on behalf of the blue team, he was interviewed by reporters from CCTV and CCTV.

Reporter: "After nearly a week of joint training, what is your biggest feeling?"

Tianyang: "The feeling is that our training system is still very backward, far from the highest level league in the world, but I believe that under the leadership of Chairman Yao, we will become stronger and stronger."

Reporter: "Then, what is our goal for this Asian Cup?"

Tianyang: "The main thing is to test the training results and win a championship by the way."

Reporter: "Then who do you think is the biggest opponent on the road to winning this time?"

Tianyang: "An opponent? There is no opponent. At most Australia will cause us a little trouble."

What Tianyang said, after being reported by reporters, instantly aroused heated discussions on Weibo.

Favorite Fanfan: "Last time in the Toronto All-Star Game, Fanfan shared his basketball experience with SkyOcean. This time, he should be able to win the championship. Well, my family, Fanfan, is 2cm shorter, otherwise he would have gone to the NBA. "

Mr. Hehe: "It is recommended that you play the Philippines lightly in the first match and save some face. After all, I was a teammate with Xiao Ke."

So much: "Just do it and it's over. What's the face? The Philippines has relied on planning foreign players to achieve some results in the past few years. It's almost crazy. This time, we need to let them know what crushing is!"

……

After a long flight, SkyOcean and his team landed in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, where the Asian Cup is held.

After staying in the hotel arranged by the organizer, considering the complicated local social environment, Tianyang took advantage of his privileges and asked for a separate room for Farage to live with him.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to August 8, the official opening of the Asian Cup.

The first game of the Chinese team was scheduled at 4:30 pm, against the Philippines.

After arriving at the Nofal Stadium, SkyOcean found many Filipino fans holding various banners, big and small, supporting their home team in a big way. He entered the stadium to warm up and was booed a lot.

You can see that Filipinos really like basketball.

Tianyang has read some reports that the entire social class in the Philippines, from the president to the children in the civilian areas, are all fanatical basketball fans. Even boxing champion Pacquiao often participates in basketball activities.

In addition to love, the Philippines has also introduced many wonderful regulations to improve the level of basketball.

For example, restricting the height of foreign players, although a bit funny, can indeed ensure that their level will improve.

Unlike some leagues, all of them rely on foreign aid to play, and it is quite difficult for local players to train.

……

At 4:40, the game between the two teams officially started.

"CCTV, CCTV. Good afternoon, viewers and friends. Now we are broadcasting the first round of Group B of the 2017 Men's Basketball Asian Cup. The match between the Chinese team and the Philippines. I am the host Yu Jia."

"Hi everyone, I am the commentator Overflowing."

"Good afternoon everyone, I'm the commentator Su Qun."

"Okay, thank you both for coming, let's take a look at the lineups of both sides first."

"For the Chinese team, point guard Guo Ailun, shooting guard Li Tianyang, forwards Ren Junfei, Li Gen, and center Han Dejun. Director Su, what do you think of coach Du Feng's formation?"

"There's nothing to say about the defenders. It must be the two of them. The striker and the center are both big men. They should all serve as pick-and-rolls for Tianyang. I think it's okay. We can properly train the lineup in the group stage."

"Yang Yi, what do you think?"

"Hey, if you want me to tell you, the Philippines is our opponent. We already have a big lead in height, but now there is another Tianyang who scored 60 points in the playoffs. Let's just fight!"

"Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Philippines. They are point guard Romeo, shooting guard Gebe, forward Akila, Christie, and center Fajardo. The average height of this lineup is indeed a bit short. The point guard is only 179, and the center is only 205. , I want to see how they fight."

……

On the court, the referee kicks off.

Han Dejun didn't grab it, and the Filipino fans cheered loudly, as if he had won.

Romeo dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and his left hand kept directing the movement, but Guo Ailun suddenly pressed, and the Philippine plan was interrupted.

Under pressure, Romeo wants to pass the ball, but his teammates, except Akira, are all defended forward.

Romeo made a quick shot, but just as the basketball flew out, Tianyang snatched it.

The Chinese team made a fast break, Tianyang hit the ground with a long pass, Guo Ailun received the ball from the three-point line, and took advantage of his height to force Romeo.

"Good shot! I thought Ren Junfei didn't defend well just now." Yu Jia shouted.

"We have an old saying, a trapped beast is still fighting, you let Araki catch the ball, but you avoid the possibility of Romeo's strong attack, and if you let him attack, you might even pay a foul." Su Qun explained.

"I guess, this is a tactic designed by Tianyang, and it's the same as the Lakers. It's just as effective for our Chinese team!" Yang Yi said, knocking on the table.

……

The Philippines attacked again, and Romeo protected the ball sideways at the top of the arc, beckoning for a pick-and-roll.But Fajardo couldn't get around, and Han Dejun was completely stuck.In desperation, Gebe rushed to the top of the arc to do a pick-and-roll, and Tianyang switched defenses.

Just as Romeo was about to break through, he found two huge figures standing in front of him. He couldn't go to the left, and he couldn't go back to the right. He wanted to retreat, but four hands reached out to him.

After some pressing, Tianyang stole the ball, picked it up, quickly rushed to the basket, and scored an easy layup.

"Hey! I don't deduct a single one, people all over the country want it." Yang Yi laughed.

"This kind of game, you can win as long as you can save your energy to deal with Australia."

"Just now, Guo Ailun didn't want to snatch the ball just now, but Tianyang's eyes reminded him. Romeo's height is indeed a bit disadvantageous, and he didn't even have time to pass the ball." Su Qun analyzed.

……

In the Philippines' third attack, Romeo dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and without waiting for the pick-and-roll, he hurriedly passed the inside line.

Akila received the ball on the left side and hit with his back. Ren Junfei couldn't stand it.

Seeing Akila turn around, Tianyang immediately swooped in from the left corner, got stuck in a blind spot, and took off to block the shot.

"Crack!", with Tianyang's hat on the side, Filipino players and fans shouted foul, but the referee didn't blow it.

The basketball flew to the top of the arc, Guo Ailun was not polite, and used his physical advantage to squeeze Romeo away and get the basketball steadily.However, the Philippines returned to the defense actively, and the fast break failed. Guo Ailun had to slowly dribble the ball to the top of the arc, and then passed it to Tianyang.

As soon as Tianyang took the ball, the Filipino fans booed instantly.

But as soon as they uttered the first syllable, Tianyang pulled out his hand, and Gebe was still in place.

Hollow into the net, the Chinese team played a 7-0.

The Philippine team attacked again, and Fajardo made a pick-and-roll ahead of time. Romeo rushed to the basket and failed to make a layup.

Han Dejun got the rebound and passed it directly to Tianyang.

Tianyang dribbled the ball across the center line, glanced at Gabe who was standing on the three-point line ahead of time and was ready to defend, then glanced at the ring, decisively collected the ball and took off, and made a two-stage shot.

"Shua!", a super long three-pointer hit, and the Chinese team led 10-0.

On Twitter, Clarkson updated and wrote: "@天洋, I'm going to join the Philippines next year, you are so bullying, you actually play in the Western Conference Finals, I can't stand it anymore."

Xiao Nance: "You can't do it if you go, why don't Tianyang save some face for your hometown team."

Kuzma: "@Hart Come see your big brother perform!"

Hart: "My big brother is really good! Only the US team can stop him!"

　It seems that it makes sense to write about basketball and not about CBA and China. After these few chapters, I lost a lot of favorites.

　　Of course, it may also be that I didn't write it well.
