Chapter 696: Entering the Quarterfinals

In the men's Asian Basketball Championships this time, the lineup of the Chinese team is similar to the lineup in the Asian Games, and it is still a team with Yi Jianlian as the boss.

There are a total of 16 teams in the Asian Championships, divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D, and the Chinese team is divided into Group D, along with the Philippines, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

After the top three teams are determined, the top three from Group A and the top three from Group B are combined to form Group E, and the top three from Group C and the top three from Group D form Group F.

In the group competition, the top four teams in each group will fight each other to enter the final quarterfinals.

The schedule is very complex and a test for all the national teams.

Because the Chinese team won the championship in last year's World Championships, the Chinese team has actually won the ticket for the London Olympics.

The champion of the Asian Championships will also get an Olympic ticket, the Chinese team does not value this London Olympic ticket, but it does attach great importance to this championship, after all, this is the Chinese team has not won the championship for two consecutive Asian Championships, this local championship, if it can no longer be obtained, it must be scolded by many fans.

So the Chinese men's basketball team is now holding back its strength to win this gold medal.

In Group D, in the eyes of the Chinese team, the strongest is the United Arab Emirates, the strength of the Philippines is still good, and Bahrain should be the ATM of their three teams.

The first game of the Chinese team was against the Bahrain team, and the strength of this team was really not good.

In the end, the Chinese team, which played with all the main forces, beat the Bahrain team by 52 points by 101 to 49 and made a good start.

Sun Shine did not appear on the field in this game, and he did not even enter the bench, Deng Huade still let Sun Shine be rested.

The second round opponent of the Chinese team is the Philippine team.

Don't look at the Philippines is not very big, but the strength of the team is not weak, and he also has a lot of international players.

Despite two players being banned for nationality, the Philippines beat the UAE by 40 points in a match against the UAE.

And in this second game, these two players who were banned because of nationality issues can continue to participate, and their strength will definitely be improved.

The strength of the Chinese team is still slightly better than that of the Libin team, so when Sun Shine did not play, they took the lead and won the second victory in one go.

Two wins are enough to ensure that the Chinese team qualifies for Group D, and judging from the current situation, the Chinese team can still sit in the first place.

According to the rules, the top three teams in Group D will be divided into the top three teams in Group C, and then the top three teams in Group D will play against the top three teams in Group C, and the opponents in Group D will not be competitive.

The results of the two groups are added together to determine the final ranking.

So for the Chinese team, every game is crucial.

In the last game, the Chinese team played against the UAE team, and the two teams played each other three times, and the Chinese team won all of them.

In this game, Sun Shine still did not play, not only that, Deng Huade also rotated the lineup, Wang Zhizhi was replaced and rested, and Ding Jinghui replaced Wang Zhizhi into the starting lineup.

In this game, the Chinese team still won with a score difference of 15 points.

The Chinese team won all three games and won the first place in Group D, the Philippines won second with two wins and one loss, the United Arab Emirates won third with one win and two losses, and Bahrain did not win a single game and missed the top 12 matches behind.

In this case, the three teams in Group D will be placed in Group F with the three teams from Group C, Jordan, Japan, and Syria, and will play the round of 12.

Syria's strength is only average, and they only have one win and two losses in the group stage, which is incomparable to the Chinese team that has won all three games.

In the game, the Syrian team did not pose much threat to the Chinese team, and the Chinese team still sent the main lineup, and Sun Shiner did not play.

In the end, the Chinese team won the game with a score difference of 19 points, and the Chinese team still maintained an undefeated record.

The second opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals is the Jordan team that won two wins and one loss in the group stage, the Jordanian team lost to the Philippine team in one game, and their promotion pressure has become very great, so this game is also a game that the Jordanian team must strive for.

Moreover, many members of the Jordanian team play in the CBA in China, also known as the CBA Army, and they know many of the players of the Chinese team.

However, it is a pity that the Chinese team did not give the Jordan team the slightest chance, they ushered in their five consecutive wins with a big victory, and the 33-point difference also allowed the Chinese team to advance to the quarterfinals.

In the other game, the Philippine team actually beat the top team in Group C, Japan, and in this way, the Philippine team won four wins and one loss.

The Japanese team that lost the game also had a record of four wins and one loss, and with one round left in the game, the two teams also managed to advance to the quarterfinals.

Of the six teams in Group F, three have confirmed their advance to the quarterfinals, while the remaining three teams, Jordan is two wins and three losses, Syria is also two wins and three losses, and the United Arab Emirates is one win and four losses, and all three teams retain their hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals.

The final round of the Round of 12 has begun, and everyone is going all out because this round will determine the qualification of each team.

Group F started with Jordan vs the UAE, with Jordan winning the game to turn their record into three wins and three losses.

The second game is the Philippine team Syria, the Philippines has reached the quarterfinals, but he wants to reach the quarterfinals in a higher position, and Syria wants to win, and it is impossible to see if they can enter the quarterfinals.

The two teams played very closely, the UAE team took the lead in the first half, but in the second half, the Philippines found a rhythm, took Syria away in a wave, and won their fifth victory in this Asian Championship, and the five wins and one loss were also the final results of the Philippine team.

In this way, the Philippine team is basically locked in second place in the group.

The final round is the matchup between the Chinese team and the Japanese team, and the matchup between these two teams has always been very interesting.

The Chinese team wants to win all, but the Japanese team wants to fight for second place in the group.

This time Sun Shiner still did not play, the Chinese team's performance was still very good, the whole game suppressed the Japanese team, in the last minute, the Chinese team had a lead of 22 points, and finally the Chinese team won six consecutive victories with 84-58, and entered the quarterfinals as the first in Group F.

In the quarterfinals, China's opponent will be Lebanon, who are fourth in Group E.
