Chapter 348: Despair!

In this battle, the Iranian team went from Farah defense, to Bahrami's defense, to the double bag, and finally led the defense by one person, and the whole team made up for the defense, trying all the methods, but it couldn't limit Tang Hao's play. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's not that there's something wrong with their strategy, it's that they're just too poor in ability.

Theoretically, basketball is a team sport, a sport of five people on the court, but in practice, when one of the players is far more capable than all the players, he becomes a one-person sport.

Tang Hao can shoot, fast, powerful, and can pass the ball, if these abilities were not well demonstrated in the previous game because of the lack of playing time, then this time, he showed a thorough display in Incheon's home stadium, in front of more than 4,000 Chinese audiences and more than 2,000 Korean audiences.

Seeing the end, those Korean audiences were already full of joy at this time.

Luckily!

Fortunately, the Chinese team is the first in the group, otherwise, it would be a problem for the South Korean team to enter the final!

In the end, Tang Hao contributed a game-high 30 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks in 20 minutes, and under his leadership, the Chinese team led the Iranian team by 20 points in the first three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Tang Hao did not play, and the boys of the Chinese team held on to their advantage, and finally defeated the Iranian team 90-79 and successfully won the first place in Group G.

The big score victory over the Iranian team has made the country boiling, and the attention to the men's basketball team has also risen to a new height.

Tang Hao's outstanding performance also attracted the attention of Lakers general manager Kupchak, who posted a video of Tang Hao's game with the title of Show No. 7.

Although this tweet did not get much attention, it can be seen that Tang Hao's performance has naturally impressed the management of the Lakers.

At the end of this battle, the semi-finals of the Asian Games were also released.

The top two teams in Group G are China and Iran, while in Group H are South Korea and the Philippines.

In this way, the semi-final matches are China vs the Philippines and Iran vs South Korea.

The semifinals of the Asian Games are about to start, and at this time, a major event happened in China.

The Philippines sent troops to Scarborough Shoal, the Chinese island, and almost sparked an armed conflict.

The impact of this incident was so great that even the players who competed in the Asian Games were affected.

During the daily training, the Filipino players were asked relevant questions by South Korean reporters.

Generally, in this case, the players are avoiding talking about this kind of problem, but the players of the Philippine team do not seem to shy away from this, Romeo, the core of the Philippine backfield, when asked this question, said bluntly: "Although our Philippines is a small country, but patriotism is the common denominator of every Filipino, Scarborough Shoal has always been the territory of the Philippines, it was, it is, and it will be in the future." ”

"The Chinese claim that this is their territory, and there is a relevant historical basis. ”

When asked by the reporter, Romeo said with a smile: "History can be fabricated, in fact, a very intuitive thing is that Scarborough Shoal is closer to the Philippines than China, is there a more intuitive fact than this?"

Romeo's answer caused an uproar, but because it was in South Korea, South Korea and the Philippines are among the allies of the United States, the mainstream media expressed support for Romeo's statement, believing that China was engaged in hegemonism.

On this day, there was only one day left before the start of the semifinals, and after Tang Hao and his teammates finished training, they were quickly arrested by South Korean reporters.

"Don, can you give us your opinion on the recent Scarborough Shoal incident?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't talk about that kind of thing. Tang Hao waved his hand and refused the reporter's question.

"Is it because you know that you are wrong?" said the South Korean journalist sharply.

"Be careful with your words. Tang Hao glanced at the Korean reporter coldly.

"I'm sorry, but now the news is reporting on this issue, and the words of the Filipino player Romeo have caused widespread coverage and support from the mainstream media. ”

"What did he say?" Tang Hao frowned.

He said that Scarborough Shoal is the territory of the Philippines, and some of the historical evidence of the Chinese is fabricated. ”

Tang Hao's face became more and more ugly, but the reporter did not stop talking, he continued: "Because geographically speaking, Huangyan Island is closer to the Philippines. ”

Hearing this, Tang Hao suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" the reporter asked curiously.

"The Philippines, it's quite close to China, right?" Tang Hao said lightly.

The Korean reporter was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Tang Hao with shock.

This sentence is very plain, but the meaning of surprise is chilling.

If Scarborough Shoal is close to the Philippines and belongs to the Philippines, then the Philippines is close to China, that is, the Philippines is Chinese?

Tang Hao's answer was soon written into the news report by the Korean media, and as soon as this was broadcast, it can be said that it caused another uproar.

Philippine Qiuyan was angry, and domestic fans even wanted Tang Hao to apologize for his remarks.

However, after learning of the incident, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed with Tang Hao's statement for the first time, which surprised everyone.

However, this has made domestic fans unprecedentedly excited, which shows that the national team sports are unprecedentedly important at this time.

Because of this, the influence of the Asian Games can be said to have reached a peak of attention.

After knowing that the next semi-final will be against the Philippine team, on the hotline, whether it is domestic, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan fans, and even overseas Chinese, they all expressed their support for the Chinese team.

It can be said that because of this incident, this ordinary basketball game, his meaning has long gone beyond the game itself.

In fact, the players of the Chinese team are also very excited about the upcoming game, and they are full of energy to perform well in front of the people of the whole country.

In the same way, the Filipino players are determined to win this game and prove that they are right by winning.

On this night, more than 3,000 Chinese fans, more than 2,000 South Korean fans and Filipino fans gathered in the basketball stadium.

Because of the unusual background of the game, the South Korean government dispatched police to the scene to maintain order.

Gong Luming did not dare to slack off on this game, he ranked Tang Hao in the team's starting lineup for the first time, and the other four players were Zhao Jiwei, Zhai Xiaochuan, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi, which was completely arranged around Tang Hao.

It can be seen that the old coach Gong Luming hopes to make the Philippine team feel desperate at the beginning.

On the Philippine side, the starting center is Andre Blecher, and his interior partner is Randier Ocampo.

The small forward is Matt Rosser.

On the back line, there are Filipino rising stars, Romeo with all yellow hair, and veteran defender William.

The game started immediately, and the starting players from both sides followed onto the pitch.

At this time, the most embarrassing thing is Blatche, who is about to jump the ball, this American, who has a Philippine nationality and plays on behalf of the Philippines, has just signed a contract with the Xinjiang team of China's CBA.

What's even more unfortunate is that the Chinese team has his former teammate Yi Jianlian when he was on the Wizards, and it will be his teammate Zhou Qi who will jump with him immediately next season......

The referee's whistle sounded, accompanied by the earth-shattering cheers of the spectators on the sidelines, and the game officially began.

Blachet pressed Zhou Qi to push the ball back into the Philippine team's half, and this goal seemed to illustrate the attitude of his professional player.

The ball was in Willian's hands, and he held the ball and pushed forward.

Romeo played with Ocampo at this time, and directly received the ball and rushed inside.

He was very decisive, looking at the posture, he was holding back his strength to perform well at the head of the Chinese team.

He was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was under the basket, and he started with a small throw.

"Bang!"

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he shot the ball, Tang Hao, who was defending him, didn't say a word, and took a big blow to bring him back to reality.

The basketball was in the hands of Zhao Jiwei, Zhao Jiwei advanced to the front court with the ball, and he was not in a hurry to attack, and when everyone was in place, he beckoned his teammates to run.

Tang Hao borrowed Yi Jianlian's block and ran out.

Romeo's reaction was quite fast, dodging Yi Jianlian's block, and directly in front of Tang Hao.

However, after Tang Hao received the ball, he directly treated him as air, and then jumped directly.

"Huh!"

A mid-range shot hit steadily.

Because the starting shot was so fast, Romeo didn't even have time to make defensive moves.

The Chinese audience at the scene was excited.

Cool.

Tang Hao's rash throw was to give the Philippine team a solid dismount at the beginning.

The Philippine team's attack, Romeo was still unconvinced, and when he came to the front court, he went around and asked for the ball again, taking advantage of his fast speed and low center of gravity, and continuously changed direction to get rid of Tang Hao's defense, and then made a beautiful emergency stop.

"Smack!"

His movements were very beautiful, but in fact, he didn't get rid of Tang Hao at all, and as soon as he came out, he was fanned out of the field by Tang Hao from the side.

Whistles rang out from the sidelines.

Romeo had such an arrogant attitude before the game, and he took two big blows from Tang Hao on the court, which really couldn't be mixed up.

Romeo gritted his teeth and looked at the posture, he was really a little angry.

The players of the Philippine team are basically all veterans, relying on the planning of Blecher to briefly step into the ranks of the top teams in Asia, Romeo is a rare young talent player in their country, and now I saw him being completely blown up by Tang Hao, and the veteran player Ocampo took the initiative to block him.

Romeo was ready to break through from the right flank with Ocampi's pick-and-roll.

But he's just coming out of the pick-and-roll.

"Smack!"

Tang Hao's eyes were quick, and he directly cut off the ball in his hand, and before he could react, he took the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.

The other Filipino players reacted too late, and could only watch Tang Hao rush to the backcourt with a desperate ride.

Tang Hao was intent on performing, he didn't choose a direct violent dunk, after jumping, he pulled the ball down to his crotch, then lifted it up, and slammed the ball into the basket with a glide.

Crotch slam dunk!

When Tang Hao completed this amazing scene, the scene was silent at first, followed by explosive cheers.

Crotch slam dunk, there are Asians who can complete the crotch slam dunk in the game!

This is definitely a historic moment!

It happened in the match between China and the Philippines, and it appeared at the beginning of the game.

The media reporters on the sidelines were so excited that the scene they had just captured was definitely going to become the headline photo of all major media.

After the dunk, Tang Hao looked very casual, didn't do anything, and ran back directly.

The audience at the scene couldn't help but smile and shake their heads at this time, Tang Hao was silent at this time.

Vincent Reyes replaced Romeo with Handy Frost at this time, and was opened by Tang Hao with two caps plus a steal***** Once, he already saw a hint of despair in the eyes of the team's new hope.

After replacing Romeo, the Philippines began their last Asian Championship final, handing the ball to Blece.

Although Blecher signed with a CBA team, his quality is no problem in the NBA, which is why he was able to lead such a Filipino team to qualify for the World Championships.

Blache caught the ball and hit Yi Jianlian with his back, and after a few beautiful foot shakes, he squeezed Yi Jianlian away and scored a basket, fully demonstrating his scoring ability under the basket.

Looking back, Tang Hao turned around and made a layup that caused Candipo's defensive foul, and he went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Bleche was also not far behind, and played Yi Jianlian again under the basket, but he didn't score the first shot, but quickly grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a rebound.

After experiencing Tang Hao's dominant performance in the opening, Tang Hao and Bleche began to fight each other inside and out.

After Romeo left the game, the two sides played 5 rounds, and Bleche played 5 rounds, scoring a total of 8 points, fully showing his individual ability while also helping the Philippine team to bite the score.

Gong Lu called a timeout.

During the pause, Yi Jianlian wiped the sweat on his forehead and faced Bletche, an NBA rotation-level insider, which made him feel a little difficult.

Gong Luming replaced Yi Jianlian at this time, ready to let Zhou Qi defend alone, Tang Hao said at this time: "Gong Gui, let me try to defend." ”

Hearing Tang Hao's words, even though they had already seen Tang Hao's ability, the others, including Gong Luming, all looked at Tang Hao in disbelief.

Bleche, that's a big man of 2.11 meters, Tang Hao's height of 1.90 meters, a height difference of more than 20 centimeters, defense?

But soon, they realized that they weren't joking.

Gong Luming also showed his courage at this time: "Okay, try it!"

This decision made the other players stunned, but Tang Hao's play along the way made them finally believe in this "thigh".

The timeout came back to the offensive round of the Philippine team.

After Bletche came on the court, he still went inside, ready to continue his inside singles journey.

But he was stunned as soon as he arrived on the inside line.

Don't talk about him, there was an uproar at the scene.

At this time, the one who was holding Bletche under the basket turned out to be Tang Hao, who was a whole head shorter!
