Chapter 369 Dream Team?
When the Japanese team scored the first goal, the Japanese team coach's back was already soaked with sweat!
Everyone knows that this is a matchup with completely unequal strength. The Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team is led by an NBA dynasty head coach, Yi Jianlian is still playing in the NBA and maintains a high competitive level, and there are three people who were personally selected by Wang Xiao
talented players.
But fans in Japan won’t care about this!
It is not a problem for the Japanese team to lose to the Chinese team. After all, since the Japanese men's national basketball team began to participate in various basketball events, it has never defeated the Chinese men's basketball team on the basketball court.
But this does not mean that Japanese fans can tolerate the Japanese team's humiliating loss of the game with a huge gap. This is not just about winning or losing a game, but also about the reputation and dignity of the Japanese men's basketball team.
However, this kind of thing is beyond his control.
He spent the entire first quarter of the game in a state of exhaustion.
When the first quarter ended, the score between the two teams was 28:7, and the Japanese team failed to even break double digits in the first quarter!
The terrifying dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team made everyone on the Japanese men's basketball team, from the coach to the players, feel despair from the bottom of their hearts.
This is an absolutely unbeatable opponent!
…
"Nice job."
On the other side, Wang Xiao smiled and encouraged the players who were coming off the field: "I am very satisfied with your performance, but next, I hope you can have some reservations. This is not to save face for the Japanese men's basketball team, but to save face for the Japanese men's basketball team."
I will protect you better, be careful when acting on the field, protect yourselves, and try to avoid injuries."
It is too demoralizing to kill everyone, and a sport like basketball that involves direct physical contact and collision can easily lead to physical conflicts or even escalate to more serious situations.
Wang Xiao has always attached great importance to the health of players on the court.
There is no need for Wang Xiao to emphasize how serious an impact injuries can have on a professional basketball player.
Roy and Oden of the Trail Blazers, Rose of the Bulls, and even Yao can be said to have been destroyed by injuries.
Wang Xiao does not want the players he coaches to get injured. Since the victory has been determined and the Japanese team has been suppressed and humiliated enough in the first quarter, he does not want to do things too badly.
If you get angry and the opponent uses some despicable means when your players are unprepared, such as tiptoeing, etc., then the gain will outweigh the loss.
…
In the second quarter of the game, the Chinese team replaced all the main players and sent in a full substitute lineup. This made the entire Japanese team breathe a huge sigh of relief.
At this time, they had completely lost their will to fight. Even though the game was not even halfway to the end, few people in the Japanese team had the idea of winning this game.
In the second quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team still suppressed the Japanese team, but without the main force, relying only on the performance of Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and others, they could only maintain the point difference and slightly expand the lead.
At halftime, the score between the two teams was 63:35, with the Huaxia Men's Basketball team leading by a full 28 points.
In the following two quarters, the Japanese team still failed to make any waves, and did not even set up an effective point-chasing offensive.
92:56.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team easily defeated the Japanese men's basketball team with a 36-point advantage.
Although the point difference in this game was not as big as when the China Men's Basketball Team played against Kazakhstan, it was enough to make the Chinese fans feel unusually satisfied.
After winning both games, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team's next game against Iran seems irrelevant, because no matter what, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team has already guaranteed a qualifying spot and entered the semi-finals.
However, for Wang Xiao, since he has coached the China Men's Basketball Team, he will not allow his coaching career to be stained. During the entire Incheon Asian Games, he is not prepared to lose any game.
Moreover, because it is a qualifying competition based on group points, the match against Iran will also determine who their opponent will be in the semifinals.
China and Iran are in Group B, and in Group A, according to the memory of another time and space, there should be two teams, South Korea and Kazakhstan, with South Korea first and Kazakhstan second...
Wang Xiao couldn't help but wonder, if the Chinese men's basketball team faced Kazakhstan again in the semifinals, how big of a psychological shadow would the opponent have?
After all, in the qualifiers, the Chinese men's basketball team bloody massacred Kazakhstan, which did not give them any face.
If Kazakhstan does not want to face the China Men's Basketball Team in the semifinals, it must defeat South Korea and win first place in the group, but this is really difficult for Kazakhstan, which is not strong in basketball.
South Korea has always been one of the strongest basketball countries in Asia. It has repeatedly threatened the dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team. It even staged a huge comeback in the 2002 Busan Asian Games men's basketball finals, defeating the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Yao to win the championship.
Take a gold medal.
This time South Korea is fighting on its own soil again and has no reason to lose to the weak force of Kazakhstan.
Therefore, Kazakhstan can only work hard silently while praying that Iran can explode into a small universe and overturn the Chinese men's basketball team. In this way, the two teams will not meet in the semifinals even though they are also second in the group.
Of course, such prayers are in vain.
On September 28, the China Men’s Basketball Team faced its last opponent in the group stage, the Iranian team.
This is the only decent opponent in the entire Asian Games, but it is also not good enough for the Chinese men's basketball team.
In the first quarter of the game, relying on Hao Peng and Cheng Jie's internal and external coordination of the offense, Iran's defense was torn to pieces.
Hao Peng's strong lethality on the inside forced Iran to shrink its defense line to restrict Hao Peng, but the contraction of the defense line gave Cheng Jie an opportunity to play on the outside.
As a result, Cheng Jie made 8 of 11 three-pointers in the entire game and scored 37 points, leading the Chinese men's basketball team to easily defeat Iran with a score of 88:69.
Although the 19-point difference was not too big compared to the previous games, the fact that the Iranian team could be crushed so easily still made everyone silent for a while.
"This Chinese men's basketball team can be called Asia's dream team!"
This is what the head coach of the Iranian team couldn't help but say in an interview after the game.
What is a dream team?
The United States, which did not attach much importance to Olympic results at the time, finally became angry after successive defeats in world events. They assembled the strongest players in the NBA at the time, including the god of basketball Jordan, Magic Johnson, Bird, and Pippen.
Barkley, David Robinson, Ewing and others.
This classic dream team lineup of 1992 went through bloody battles in the Olympic Games that year, with an average margin of victory of 44 points per game. They completely defeated the children and swept all the way to win the Olympic gold medal.
Because of this, the dream team represents invincibility.
