King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 183 The Asian Championship Begins

Soon, the [-]-day closed training ended, and Deng Huade was also full of confidence in the team's victory in the Wuhan Asian Championships this time, and he also confidently boasted about Haikou in front of the media: "This section of the Asian Championships? No problem, no problem at all, we will win the Asian Championships this quarter."

However, such words did not arouse the slightest waves in the hearts of Chinese fans. In their hearts, China is the hegemony of Asia. The last time they lost the championship in Tianjin was just a nap. Now the Chinese team has woken up. , coupled with an NBA super giant He Yixiang, it is nothing more than Deng Huade, who has always been cautious, made such a confident declaration this time.

"Cut, isn't it right to win the championship? We were the quarterfinals of last year's World Championships. We can't lose the championship this time, right?"

"In addition, He Yixiang is a superstar who can almost turn the tide of the game by himself at this level. If we can lose to Iran again, I think we can really consider changing coaches."

"We must win the championship. The champion of this year's Asian Championships can get a direct ticket to London. Although the NBA is still in the lockout period, I don't think the world's number one professional basketball league will disappear. So I don't want to watch He Yixiang and Yi Jianlian have to fight more and more for an Olympic ticket after the busy NBA, and Dayao is a lesson from the past."

Soon, on September 9th, the Wuhan Asian Championships officially opened. As the host, the Chinese team was placed in Group D, and the same group consisted of the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.The competition system this time is a bit painful. The first is the first round of the group stage. The 15 participating teams will be divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D.The following are the competition rules of the Men's Basketball Asian Championship: the top three teams in each group in the first stage of the group stage will advance to the second stage of the round robin. The 16 teams in the second round will be divided into two groups for a round robin. The teams that have played against each other in the group stage will no longer play against each other. In this way, after the first two rounds, the top four teams with the best records in the two groups will enter the quarter-finals.Then a new single elimination match will be launched according to the ranking of the two groups.

This kind of helpless competition system is unprecedented. Although I understand that this will make the Asian Championships less upset, but to be honest, this competition system is dispensable for the Chinese team of.

At 9:15 on September 20th, the host China played the first game, and the team in the first game was Bahrain, the weakest team among the teams of the same family. The total population of this country is only about 00 million, which is not as good as In a larger county in China, not to mention that there are more than 120 foreigners among the 120 million people, so the combat effectiveness of this Bahrain team can be imagined.

However, the opponents are not strong and China is still playing with the main force. The starting lineup of He Yixiang, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi made the Wuhan Sports Center Gymnasium roar as soon as they came out. Among them, He Yixiang can obviously hear the most names. , Yi Jianlian couldn’t help being a little apprehensive, and teased He Yixiang: “Not bad, I have only played in the professional league for one year and already have such a big appeal. I think I played in the CBA for five years at least, and it was two The winner of the mvp of the finals, why is your voice not as high as yours?"

He Yixiang shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm an NBA All-Star starter." Yi Jianlian had nothing to say in an instant, and walked to the court in annoyance.

At the beginning of the game, just as the Chinese fans thought, the Bahrain team was completely unable to stop the Chinese team's offense. To be precise, it was unable to stop He Yixiang's offensive. Facing the opposite Bahrain point guard who was only 183 tall, He Yixiang directly used his long The arm separated him and easily broke into the inside line. Facing the center's supplementary defense, he still took off directly. However, although both sides took off at the same time, the Bahrain center's jumping ability was obviously weak. He Yixiang didn't know how much. , He Yixiang was still soaring in the air, and scored the ball with a light pull-back reverse basket.

"This is really He Yixiang's personal ability. Bahrain's defense is completely useless to He Yixiang." Today's commentary is guided by Zhang Weiping and the editor-in-chief of Sports Weekly Yang Yi, and Zhang Weiping just sighed.From being looked down upon in high school, to being surprised at entering the NCAA, to doubting whether the Turkey World Championships can replace Dayao as China's new core, to NBA commentating nearly [-] Kings games to today, He Yixiang has been step by step Conquered this former Chinese basketball player.

Yang Yi also nodded at the side: "Indeed, this game is not a level battle. It is difficult for a team like Bahrain to win even against the Chinese provincial team!"

The scene was the same as they ended. The first quarter became the performance time of the Chinese team. He Yixiang's personal sharp breakthrough made Bahrain's continuous shrinking defense line still unstoppable. When Bahrain shrinks the defense line to the extreme, almost no matter what Sometimes when there are two people standing in the restricted area, the four turrets on the outside line start to go crazy. Yes, you read that right, there are four turrets. The three-point ability of Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian is not bad at all. In just 5 minutes, China The team dropped 5 three-pointers.35:16 in a single quarter, leading by almost 20 points in just one quarter.

If you usually support a team, but the team you support directly kills the game in the first quarter, then you will feel that this basketball game is a bit boring, but today, the first quarter The 19-point lead in the quarter still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the entire stadium, and the fans still cheered for the Chinese team loudly.This kind of cheering made Bahrain's head coach a little embarrassed. In the first away game against an Asian overlord like China, a loss of [-] points would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the team's morale.

Deng Huade didn't mean to kill them all. With a big lead of 19 points, he also made an interesting five-up and five-down. Su Wei, Ding Jinhui, Yi Li, Liu Wei, and Zhang Bo played directly in the second quarter, but it is possible Deng Huade overestimated the fighting power of the Bahrain team a bit. Even facing the second team of the Chinese team, they played without any resistance. Deng Huade simply decided to let the main force rest for more time. The fans were also full of joy watching the match between China's second team and Bahrain.

In the end, the Chinese team got off to a good start with a 92:51 victory over Bahrain with 41 points. The next game is the focus. For the Chinese team, their real goal is the 09 champion Iran.
