Chapter 406 The Asian Championships
There is basically no suspense in the F match. The Chinese Men's Basketball Team still swept all opponents with invincible force and successfully entered the finals with the first score in points.
In the three games against Qatar, Kazakhstan and Lebanon, the scores were 99:49, 87:45, and 103:48 respectively.
There is no exception to any team, all score differences of more than 50 points.
The media couldn't help but say bluntly that the Chinese men's basketball team is really crazy, and it's all over whoever they love you.
Looking at the entire group stage and the rematch, Hao Peng, the most luxurious figure in the Chinese men's basketball team, averaged 20.5 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks per game. As long as he is on the court, it represents the dominance of the inside.
Cheng Jie averaged 26 points per game and was the team's top scorer.
And when people focus their attention on the data statistics of the entire Asian Championship, they will be shocked to find a situation.
The number one in the scoring list is Cheng Jie of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, with 26 points.
The first rebounding list is Hao Peng's average of 16 rebounds per game.
The first in the steal list is Wang Meng's average of 3.3 steals per game.
The top blocker is Hao Peng's average of 4 blocks per game.
Except for the assist list, all the lists are completely occupied by the Chinese men's basketball team.
Seeing this list, people began to understand why the Chinese men's basketball team had such a crushing performance in this Asian Championships.
...
Wang Xiao was very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team before the finals. They exceeded their goals. If the Basketball Association had not always called to harass him during the halftime break, the score gap would have even been even larger.
After the group stage and the rematch end, the rest is the final.
The teams entering the quarterfinals of the final are China Men's Basketball Team, South Korea, Japan, Iran, Qatar, India, the Philippines and Lebanon.
The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 1-point final is India.
The three and the three looked sad, while the F countries who played with the Chinese men's basketball team in the rematch were gloating.
The benefits of being abused in the early stage finally emerged at this time!
In the finals, countries that are in the same group as the rematch will not meet in the 1/4 finals, so it is time for the guys in Group E to experience the painful process of fighting against the Chinese men's basketball team.
The three Indian brothers became the first victim.
In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team had a full range of outsiders. Cheng Jie made 5 of 7 three-pointers, Wang Meng made 4 of 5 shots, Yi Jianlian made 2 of 2 shots, Guo Ailun and Zhou Peng and others also scored three-pointers.
India was killed with a three-pointer, and the final score was frozen at 117:61, with a score difference of 56 points.
On October 2, the semi-finals, China Men's Basketball Team VS Iran.
As an opponent, Iran may be the strongest opponent facing the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Championships.
Of course, this is only relative.
In terms of strength, Iran and South Korea have been somewhat similar in recent years. The two teams have won and lost each other when they meet on the field. In the 1-point final, Iran and South Korea met and finally eliminated South Korea at 75:62 to advance to the semi-finals.
For the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, this game is still a bit difficult... The difficulty lies in how to win over 50 points, after all, the opponent is not an ordinary person.
To this end, Wang Xiao gathered the players to have a small meeting the day before the game and arranged tactics against Iran.
On the semi-final day, the Chinese men's basketball team strictly followed Wang Xiao's tactical arrangements from beginning to end.
In fact, that was not a very exquisite tactical arrangement, on the contrary, it was very simple... Let Hao Peng play singles.
The Iranian men's basketball team is good at joint defense, and there are many ways to deal with joint defense. Strong external firepower is one aspect, while a pillar of the inside line is another way.
The joint defense position does not allow two inside players to stand at the basket on the same side to defend, so whenever Hao Peng receives the ball, he faces an inside player from the opponent.
With his current ability, there is no difference between playing an Iranian inside player alone and playing games.
Hao Peng used all his talents to fully display Lingli, and scored 37 points in just half a game, helping the team build a huge advantage.
The consequences of letting Hao Peng score casually are very serious. David Robinson, as a center, has won the scoring champion, and in the NBA league's single-game scoring ranking, his 71 points ranks second in the league, second only to Kobe's 81 points. (The NBA's single-game scoring record has started in the 1985-86 season, so although Chamberlain admitted to 100 points in a single-game, the official did not record it.)
In the second half, the Iranian team, which had lost the can, began to double-team Hao Peng to limit Hao Peng's score, but this liberated the outside firepower of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the score gap was further widened.
When the game ended, the score between the two sides was 98:47 and 51 points, which was a bit thrilling. If Qian Chengjie had not made a strong shot and made a three-pointer at the end of the game, he would have probably ended in the semi-finals with a 50-point difference.
...
After eliminating Iran in the semi-finals, only one team was left behind in front of the Chinese men's basketball team, the Philippines.
The Philippines, which defeated the Japanese team and entered the finals, was not particularly happy, but was a little sad.
Is it finally our turn? Why do we have to endure the pain that we shouldn't have at this age?
If the game can be abstained, the Philippines may choose to surrender as soon as possible. Who wants to play against this monster team that averages 50+ points per game in the Asian Championships?
But surrender is impossible, and it is impossible in this life. If the Philippines really dares to do this, it will definitely be blacklisted by the Asian Championship Organizing Committee. It will be difficult to join in the fun in the future.
So, on October 3, under the gaze of everyone, the Philippines and the Chinese Men's Basketball Team held a final without any suspense and the audience had no hope.
The entire game took only 5 minutes to decide the winner, and the next 35 minutes were just boring beats and scores.
The final score was frozen at 111:56 points, and the Philippines lost 55 points in the finals, which was quite shameful to win the runner-up of the Asian Championships.
The Chinese men's basketball team, which won the championship, received a ticket to the 2016 Rio Olympics as they wished.
Wang Xiao, who successfully completed the mission, did not even have time to hold a celebration banquet with the players. As soon as the competition ended, he rushed to the United States.
Other NBA players such as Cheng Jie, Wang Meng and Yi Jianlian are also available.
The finals of the Asian Championships are October 3, while the start of the NBA new season is October 9.
Time is very tight.
After returning to Milwaukee without stopping, Wang Xiao immediately devoted himself to the players' pre-season recovery training, and also had a list of players for the team's new season.
The facts proved that the Bucks' general manager was not a fan. When discussing the contract with Klay Thompson's agent, he showed great sincerity and gave a maximum salary quote without any hesitation.
