Chapter 345 Korean Asian Games(1/2)

"I'll go... This bounce! Is it still a human..." Sun Tonglin, who was off the field, opened his mouth wide.

Substitute offense.

Li Gen, who recovered from his senses, was still not convinced. As soon as Li Muhao sent the ball on the sidelines, he signaled his teammates to pull away and force Tang Hao to take action.

Li Gen is short, has a low center of gravity and changes direction quickly. He sways continuously to try to get rid of Tang Hao.

But just as he changed direction, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and then with a "pop", he cut the ball away from his hand.

Li Gen couldn't control his gravity and almost fell out. Zhao Jiwei reacted and chased after him.

Zhao Jiwei's characteristic is that his pass is good and his speed is fast. He is now suppressing his center of gravity and chasing Tang Hao hard.

However, something that surprised the teammates again happened. Tang Hao used the ball and threw Zhao Jiwei away in an instant.

Then, in the surprised expressions of the players, he rushed to the position of the substitute team's free throw line in the backcourt, and jumped up with the ball in his right hand.

"Bang!"

With a heavy dunk that hit Huashan, Tang Hao pressed the ball hard into the basket with his right hand.

The entire arena became quiet all of a sudden.

A dunk across the board, a big shot in front of you, a ruthless steal, a one-handed buckle...

If Tang Hao hadn't stood in front of them, they would never have believed that Asians could have such a performance.

And it still looks so casual and wandering around in the garden.

This is simply incredible!

They also began to understand why Gong Luming had to arrange Tang Hao as a small forward as soon as he came up, because there was no need to hesitate at all. Even if someone's grandmother was replaced to lead the team, he would not be so stupid that he would not let Tang Hao play!

In the subsequent training, Tang Hao not only showed the physical fitness that an Asian player, even most American players did not possess, but also showed his accurate shooting ability, which completely defeated this group of teammates of the national team in an instant.

After finishing this training class, you can clearly feel the enthusiasm of these team members.

Gong Luming brought a lot of pressure to form such a completely younger team, but in fact, the pressure on the players' shoulders was never too low. It was reflected in the stadium, which was timid and looking forward. However, Tang Hao's appearance made them relieve their burdens in their hearts at once, and they were not afraid of making mistakes on the court, and they were more bold and proactive in playing.

It can be said that Tang Hao's joining has allowed the construction of this new team to enter the formality early.

The two-month training time was very fast, and the tacit understanding between Tang Hao and this group of players improved rapidly.

Time is fast, and the new Asian Games are about to open in a blink of an eye.

The venue for this Asian Games is Incheon, South Korea, which is the third time in South Korea that it has won the right to host the Asian Games.

Going to South Korea is a very stressful thing for other Asian countries, not for anything else, just because South Korea is world-class at home.

This world-class does not mean that it is at a high altitude home court like Denver, or as majestic as Bayern at home, but its referee.

The most famous Korean-Japanese Football World Cup in 2002. With the help of home referees, the South Korean team eliminated the favorite Italian and Spanish teams in succession, and entered the semi-finals of the World Cup and created the best results of Asian teams in the Football World Cup.

What happened in the past is still vivid in my mind. The last time I experienced this world-class treatment was the top football teams who entered the World Cup, and this time, it was the Asian team's turn.

Tang Hao's main identity is an athlete of the national team of men's basketball.

This is his second time to participate in the Asian Games. The last time he participated in the Asian Games, he participated in archery and swimming competitions. This time, he signed up for three events: basketball, swimming and track and field.

Basketball is the main event, and the reason he participates in track and field and swimming is because he needs to accumulate honor points to upgrade his strength to the drum flea.

The opening ceremony of the Asian Games is on September 19, but the basketball and football events, because the schedule is very long, are held before the opening ceremony.

The teams also resisted Incheon in advance.

Incheon is one of the most developed cities in South Korea. On the streets here, there are all kinds of artificial beauties everywhere. You can see advertisements for plastic surgery and beauty treatments in just a few steps on the streets, as well as various performance announcements from Korean men and women groups. Koreans are the most leading position in Asia in entertainment.

Of course, whether it is the prosperous plastic surgery culture or the women's group culture, Tang Hao and his teammates have no time to feel it.

After resisting Incheon, the Chinese men's basketball team, like the men's basketball team in other countries, devoted themselves to training early.

Although the Asian Games are not directly linked to the World Championships and the Olympics, as one of the highest-level basketball events in Asia, countries attach little importance to the competition.

Iran, South Korea, Island Team, Philippines Team, China Team, and other popular teams have sent all the main players to play.

Before Yao Ming was injured, the Chinese men's basketball team had an absolute dominance in Asia. However, with Yao Ming's injury, he suffered a crushing defeat in Iran in the Asian Championships and the Manila tragedy. The Chinese men's basketball team was not dominant, while other countries took advantage of the situation to rise, the most representative of which were the Iranian team and the Philippines team.

The Iranian team is determined to win the Asian Games as the champion and runner-up of the last World Championships.

Haddadi, the core of the Iranian team, known as the "No. 1 center in Asia", resisted Incheon, after he was interviewed by South Korean media, he said without hesitation that the team came to Incheon to win the championship, and he did not think that there was any team in this Asian Games that could prevent the Iranian team from winning the championship.

Haddadi is full of confidence, and the Philippine defender Romeo is also determined to win.

When the reporter asked whether the Philippines could continue its World Championships in Manila, reach the finals, or even win the championship, Romeo used a rhetorical answer, why not?

Romeo admitted that after the Spanish Men's Basketball World Championships, the team's ability has been greatly trained and morale has been greatly improved. No matter the host South Korean team or Iran team, they cannot stop their confidence in going further (winning the championship).

When the Korean reporter asked whether the Chinese team would pose a threat to them, the small defender showed a fascinating smile, and then said with a smile on his lips: "The Chinese team is now like an elephant trapped in the mud. Who would think it would cause trouble?"

An imagery metaphor has revealed the true thoughts of the Filipino player.

The Chinese team has not achieved outstanding results for many years. For such a team, there is no need to treat them as their main competitors.

In addition to Iran and Philippines, the Koreans, who have always felt good about themselves, also issued a declaration of winning the championship before the game.

In an interview with the media before the game, the team's core insider, Kosuke Takeuchi said that the team missed the championship in the last Asian Games. This time they played at home, winning the championship was their only goal.

It can be said that the competition for champions in this Asian Games is no less fierce than that of the Asian Championships.

In contrast, is the Chinese team low-key? Apart from holding a mobilization meeting before going to war, there is no big news.

Coach Gong Luming also said in an interview with the media that the Chinese men's basketball team is a new team, and winning the championship is the ultimate goal, but compared to winning the championship, playing every game well is what you should consider now.

The opponent's arrogance is unprecedentedly low-key. Even in China, this team is generally despised. If Tang Hao had not joined, no one would have glanced at it.

This invisible pressure from the outside world did not make these young men in the men's basketball team feel angry. On the contrary, they were trying their best to prove it to themselves.

This time, the Asian Games competition system has undergone some reforms, and 16 teams are divided into four groups, the Chinese team is divided into Group C, and the opponents in the same group are Taipei and India.

The other three groups are:

Group D, South Korea, Jordan, Kazakhstan.

Group e: Iran, Philippines, Hong Kong, China.

Group f: Island countries, Qatar, Mongolia.

Four groups, the top 2 will be divided into 2 groups, and the quarterfinals will be played.

Both groups were round-robin. Although the competition system has changed, the principles are basically the same. The higher the ranking in the group stage, the smoother the progress will be in the knockout stage.

The opening match of the Chinese team is against the Indian team.

India's basketball is far behind China and has not yet formed a system. The Chinese team has fought with their opponents several times, and basically beat their opponents every time. However, in July this year, the National Olympic Team lost to their opponents 58-65, and that game almost uncovered the last fig leaf of the men's basketball team.

Although they were not the same team, Zhao Jiwei and Zhou Qi both participated in previous competitions. It can be said that these young men are working hard for the Printing Team.

In this game, Gong Luming did not arrange for Tang Hao to play, and chose to let him watch from the wall.

The first group match of the Chinese team was held in the afternoon, with pitifully few spectators present. There were probably only about one hundred people in the whole game, most of whom were Chinese.

However, this did not affect the young men's fighting spirit.

After the game started, the Chinese guys who played showed the Chinese fans a perfect and different style of competition. They actively fought and shared selflessly. There were even many tactics in the game, giving people a refreshing feeling.

In the end, with Guo Ailun's 21 points and 3 assists, the Chinese men's basketball team scored 6 double-digit points, defeating their opponents 87-54, and successfully taking revenge.

Although he did not play, Tang Hao still applauded the players one by one after the game.

He was still very pleased with his teammates' positive performance.

In this game, the Chinese audience watching the game live was very happy, but there was not much report in China. It defeated the weak team, and there were not many things worth showing off.

In the game held at the same time, Iran defeated China's Hong Kong team 105-21, creating its biggest score difference in intercontinental competitions.

When the game was interviewed by South Korean reporters at the end, Haddadi also joked about the results of the game, saying that this is China's current basketball level and other countries are improving, but the Chinese suddenly cannot play after losing Yao Ming.

After a day off, the Chinese men's basketball team will welcome another opponent in the group, the Chinese Taipei team.

The Chinese men's basketball team's record of 23 wins and 5 losses against the Chinese Taipei team. Three of these 5 losses were concentrated last year. It started in Manila. The men's basketball team defeated Taipei team in nearly 20 points and stopped in the quarterfinals. Since then, the Chinese team has become the weaker side in the battle between the two sides and has suffered three consecutive losses so far.

This time, the fight again, let alone the fans and players, even the coach Gong Luming also attaches great importance to it.

He arranged Tang Hao on the activation list, but he did not arrange it, but instead substitutes.

In this game, there were still not many spectators, only four or five hundred, and basically all of them were Chinese spectators.

However, compared with the audience on the scene, the audience on the hotline is extremely active. The fans discussed the hotline in a tit-for-tat way, which made the audiences received by the game rise sharply.

With the attention of Chinese people, the competition between the two sides was staged at the Sanshan World Stadium in Incheon, South Korea.

The Chinese team sent their strongest lineup besides Tang Hao. On the back line are Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang, on the forward line are Zhou Peng and Yi Jianlian, and on the inside line are Zhou Qi.

The Taipei team also played all the main players, Lin Zhijie and Yang Jingmin on the outside, Liu Zheng on the small forward, Zeng Wending and Davis on the inside.

In terms of paper strength alone, the Chinese team is stronger than the Taipei team, but the players who have lost three consecutive times dare not take it lightly at all.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game between the two sides.

Zhou Qi obtained the first offensive ball for the Chinese team, and Guo Ailun carried the ball to the frontcourt.

The Chinese team started running. Gong Luming brought the biggest tactics to the team. Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Peng ran from the right wing to the left wing around the bottom line. Ding Yanyuhang restrained the defense, and Zhou Peng came out got a good chance to get out of the mobile phone.

Guo Ailun's pass followed, and Zhou Peng took the ball and shot it.
