BJ time, September 23, 2015! The Asian Championships officially started under the spotlight!
The 16 national teams participating in the event were divided into four groups by drawing lots for the group stage and semi-finals.
As the organizer and one of the seed players, the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team was assigned to Group C in the draw.
In the same group as the Chinese men's basketball team, there are South Korea, Jordan and Singapore.
Among these three teams, the greatest threat to the Chinese men's basketball team is the South Korean men's basketball team.
At last year's Incheon Asian Games, the Korean men's basketball team narrowly defeated Yin Lang to win the championship, while the Chinese men's basketball team only ranked fifth.
Although it is well known that the South Korean team's combat effectiveness is extremely "robust" when playing at home, whether it is basketball, football or other sports, they will almost go to the point of losing face in order to win.
But even so, I have to admit that the Korean team has indeed made great progress in recent years. Looking at the entire Asia, it is also at the top level!
In the absence of Wang Feng, according to the original historical process, the Korean men's basketball team met with the Chinese men's basketball team and staged a battle in the group stage! The score of the direct confrontation between the two teams was 76:73! The Chinese men's basketball team narrowly won by 3 points!
This is also the smallest score difference among the Chinese men's basketball teams who have gone all the way to win the championship in this Asian Championship.
Of course, all of this is based on Asia, and the Chinese men's basketball team is in a state of insecurity.
At least in Wang Feng's view, it's just that there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king.
For Wang Feng, the Asian Championship is a side dungeon mission that he encounters accidentally when completing the main mission, and it is not a particularly difficult dungeon.
As long as you play a dozen of them, you can successfully pass the level, and there will be a reward bonus based on the performance rating of the dungeon... and that's it.
Therefore, during the entire group assignment process, he was very calm, even a little listless and absent-minded.
…
The schedule for the first day of the group stage starts at 9 a.m., with sixteen teams competing one after another until all games are over.
The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the first round is the Singapore men's basketball team, and the game time is 19:30 in the evening.
The Singapore men's basketball team can be considered a relatively weak team among Asian teams. Even in the darkest two years of the Chinese men's basketball team, it has never lost to the Singapore men's basketball team.
In this Asian Championship, if nothing unexpected happens, the Singapore men's basketball team will eventually be ranked fifteenth, which is second to last.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, this is equivalent to a warm-up match before the match against the Korean men's basketball team, a game that builds confidence for the players and helps them get familiar with each other.
Before the game started, head coach Gong Luming submitted the starting list.
The starting five of the Chinese men's basketball team have been decided in the previous daily training!
Point guard: Guo Ailun.
Shooting guard: Zhou Peng.
Small forward: Wang Feng.
Power forward: Zhou Qi.
Center: Arab League!
This starting lineup can be regarded as the strongest lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team at present. While it has both internal and external offensive firepower, Zhou Qi and Ah Lian are both relatively mobile inside players and can switch offense and defense quite quickly.
good.
It stands to reason that there is no need to be so serious when dealing with an opponent of the level of the Singapore Men's Basketball Team, but this Asian Championship is really too important for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team! Gong Luming does not dare to neglect at all, he must
Lead the team to win the championship and get a ticket to the Rio Olympics!
The result of having all the main players on board was that the suspense seemed to have been lost before the first quarter was over.
The strength gap between the two sides is really too big!
Regarding the level of the Singapore men's basketball team, we can actually make a simple comparison.
Putting this Singaporean men's basketball team into CUBA, if it were in a stronger division, it might be difficult to reach the national competition.
There is no way, even though the Chinese men's basketball team is not ranked internationally, but in Asia, it is an absolute giant for most Asian countries!
Wang Feng: "..."
As soon as the second quarter started, Wang Feng sat off the court and put on a mask of pain.
He thought this might happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams directly played 36:7!
The Singapore men's basketball team couldn't score more than 10 points in a single quarter, and the Chinese men's basketball team really couldn't bear to beat the opponent. They almost watched the opponent's layup with defensive eyes...
This is exactly like an adult hitting a child.
Wang Feng only played the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, shooting 2 of 2 from beyond the arc and scoring 6 points.
Then he was taken off the field and sat on the bench with the main players such as A Lian, Zhou Qi, Guo Ailun, and watched other players play with the Singapore national team.
Play...Wang Feng thinks this adjective is very appropriate.
Even if the Chinese men's basketball team had a full substitute lineup, those players were holding back and barely defending the opponent throughout the game.
Wang Feng has no doubt that if they are willing, it will be no problem to score 100:20 in one game.
Looking at the results alone, a big victory in the first game is a good thing for the Chinese men's basketball team.
But for Wang Feng, this is not good news!
Garbage time comes so early! How can he refresh the data?
Wang Feng has not forgotten that this Asian Championship is a side dungeon mission of the system! He will be rated and rewarded based on his performance!
Fortunately, Gong Luming also knew that not only should he win this first game, but he should also take this opportunity to polish his lineup.
Therefore, in the second half, Singapore finally found some sense of scoring under the loose defense of the Chinese men's basketball team. When the Chinese men's basketball team started to play "back and forth" on the scene, Gong Luming looked at the bench.
Wang Feng, who played the last two quarters of the game.
"Wang Feng, please go on the court and play for a while."
Gong Luming's words made Wang Feng's eyes light up.
In this game, there is no question of winning or losing at all.
The score gap between the two teams is now 30 points!
If Wang Feng takes the field, there is only one thing to consider - how to brush up data as quickly and efficiently as possible! brush up ratings!
After a short period of dead ball, Wang Feng was replaced.
Seeing Wang Feng on the stage, all the teams paying attention to this game were shocked, including the South Korean team!
"Wang Feng is on the court! Be sure to pay attention to his technical style and playing style! He is the most dangerous player in this Asian Championship!"
The head coach of the Korean team said to the players while frowning and shaking his head.
"Damn it! The Singapore Men's Basketball Team is too weak and cannot compete with the full strength of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team. Wang Feng only played for less than 5 minutes before and basically had no performance!"
"Tomorrow we will meet the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage. We must defeat this Chinese men's basketball team! Smecta!"
