Chapter 404 The new goal of the Asian Championships
Since the Asian Games will be held in Changsha, the China Men's Basketball Team's special training camp will be set up in Changsha, which will make it easier for the men's basketball team to train and become familiar with the venue.
As the host organizer, it is natural to enjoy such advantages.
On September 23, 2015, Beijing time, teams from 14 countries participated in the opening ceremony held at the gymnasium of Changsha Civil Affairs Vocational and Technical College. (Sixteen teams participated, including Taipei and Hong Kong, as you know.)
A total of 16 teams participated in this competition and were divided into four ADCB groups for the group stage. Each group will conduct a round robin. The top three teams with points will enter the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be divided into two groups and the same round robin will be conducted.
The two teams with the lowest points are eliminated, and 8 teams are finally selected for the finals in a single-elimination tournament.
As the organizer and currently recognized as the strongest team in Asia, during the public draw in June, the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team was something that all teams wanted to avoid, but there were always a few out of the fifteen teams.
An unlucky guy.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team was divided into Group C and competed in a group round-robin with South Korea, Jordan, and Singapore.
Wang Xiao felt that when the draw results were announced, the three teams must have been in despair.
Although there are three qualifying rights in the same group, the group in which the China Men's Basketball Team is located will almost certainly give up one of the qualifying rights.
…
The opponents in Group C made the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team completely uninterested. The opponents were too weak and there was no way they could compete.
Faced with this situation, Wang Xiao had to increase the difficulty of the competition.
So after the opening ceremony, he gathered the team members together.
"This Asian Championship championship must be ours, there is no doubt about it." Wang Xiao had already booked the Asian Championship championship as soon as he started, but no one thought there was a problem with this sentence.
"But do you think this is enough? In my opinion, the Asian Championships are just an appetizer before next year's Olympic Games. Our real opponents are those powerful enemies in the international arena! So on the stage of this Asian Championships
What I hope to see is not just a victory, but I also want to see the birth of an invincible team in Asia!"
"Now, I will give you a task!"
Looking around the team members, Wang Xiao's voice did not hesitate. "In all the games in the next Asian Championships, your points difference must be above 50 points!"
Listening to Wang Xiao's words, the players of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team felt a rush of blood rushing to their brains.
Arrogant! So arrogant! In all games of the Asian Championships, we beat our opponents by more than 50 points!
As expected of coach Wang Xiao, he may be the only one in the world who dares to say this.
But if compared with previous Olympic champions, this goal is not an exaggeration.
You know, defeating the American team in the Olympics is much more difficult than defeating the weak Asian team!
For the Chinese men's basketball team, it is not difficult to beat other teams in Asia, and winning by more than 50 points is just a slightly more difficult challenge! If you can't even do this, what qualifications do you have to compete with the American team for the Olympic championship next year?
?
…
I don't know if it was an illusion or something else, but the Singaporean players felt an inexplicable chill covering their whole bodies. Originally, their spirits were not particularly high today. It was unlucky enough to face the China Men's Basketball Team in the first game of the opening game.
That's right, the opening game of Group C group stage is the Chinese Men's Basketball Team against Singapore.
The Singapore men's basketball team is already at the bottom in terms of strength in Asia.
Wang Xiao was very impressed. In another time and space, the opponent of the China Men's Basketball Team in the group stage of the 2015 Asian Championships was the Singapore Men's Basketball Team. The score of the two sides in that game was 91:42. The Singapore Men's Basketball Team was defeated by the China Men's Basketball Team.
Basketball 49 points!
You must know that there was no Wang Xiao in the Chinese men's basketball team, no Cheng Jie, Wang Meng and Hao Peng, but even so, they almost completed the task Wang Xiao gave to the current Chinese men's basketball team, which shows how weak the Singapore men's basketball team is.
Soon the Chinese men's basketball team started a game like beating a child.
Facing the offense of the Chinese men's basketball team, Singapore was completely unable to defend itself, and facing the defense of the Chinese men's basketball team, Singapore was unable to fight back!
In the first quarter, the two sides played a score of 33:5, and the point difference instantly reached 28 points. Then in the second quarter, it was 26:7. At the end of the half, the point difference between the two teams reached 47 points.
There is no way. The Hua Xia men's basketball team's zone defense has begun to bear fruit. The zone defense with Hao Peng as the core is airtight. Apart from using long-range three-pointers to open up the situation, relying on defenders to attack the frame or attacking inside can't get past Hao Peng.
Peng this level.
But it is not that easy to shoot a three-pointer from a long distance. In the zone defense, Cheng Jie and Wang Meng are responsible for perimeter defense. They will guard against the opponent's most accurate shooter.
The ultimate defense almost suffocated Singapore, which also prevented them from scoring in double figures in two quarters. They only scored 12 points in the half, which was a disaster.
At halftime, before the game started, Wang Xiao first received a call from the Basketball Association.
On the phone, the boss of the basketball association seemed very embarrassed.
"Xiao Wang, the following competitions should be played appropriately. In sports, friendship comes first and competition comes second. This is not conducive to the establishment of friendly relations..."
Wang Xiao was a little speechless, but he agreed with dignity.
Killing them all is not a very moral thing, not to mention that he has no grudge against Singapore. It is better to do less than to do more.
So at the beginning of the second half, Wang Xiao replaced all the main players and replaced them with a pure substitute lineup. But even so, Singapore was still no match for the China Men's Basketball Team.
Helpless, Wang Xiao could only stand on the sidelines and give instructions loudly.
"Hey! Zhao Jiwei! Don't rush so fast! Wait for the defensive players!"
"Hey! Zhou Qi, what are you doing? Everyone has already rushed to the basket, so just let him score the goal. Why cover him?"
"Everyone, listen, shrink to the basket. If the opponent shoots a three-pointer, shoot it for them. Don't go up and interfere! You have to play steadily when you get the rebound. Don't rush to the fast break. Why are you playing so fast?"
The players of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team were sitting on the bench listening to Wang Xiao shouting loudly and were overjoyed. Especially Cheng Jie, Wang Meng and others, they almost burst out laughing. After playing for so long, this was the first time they saw the head coach instructing the players to let loose.
of.
The assistant coaches looked embarrassed.
I don’t know if the players and coaches in Singapore can understand Chinese, but it seems that they can’t understand it. Otherwise, Wang Xiao would be so angry that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage?
Chapter completed!
