Chapter 328: The Conquest of Asia Is Just the Beginning (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
September 2, Fukuoka International Sports Center, Japan.
This gymnasium, which has been very poor in attendance before, is rarely full today because the Chinese and Japanese teams met in advance in the quarterfinals of the Asian Championships.
In the 90s, although Inoue Yuhiko's "Slam Dunk" became a precious memory for countless Chinese post-80s and 90s generations, even if "Slam Dunk" was repainted, it could not solve the fact that basketball had a small audience in Japan.
In addition, after the Chinese men's basketball team opened the era of dominating Asia, the Chinese men's basketball team has monopolized the Olympic tickets for nearly 20 years, so the status of Japanese basketball in the Japanese sports circle has not been high.
And in this Asian Championships, don't believe it.......
In addition to the Chinese team's games, even the Japanese team's own games, the attendance rate is difficult to exceed 50%.
And the reason why the Chinese team has a high attendance rate in the game is ......
It's not because Japanese basketball fans want to come to see the Asian galaxy battleship.
Purely because of the local Japanese girls in Fukuoka......
I'm very interested in Su Feng, a handsome guy who came out of the comics.
In other words, on the court, it was when the players of the two teams were warming up before the game......
On the commentary seat, reading the roster of the Chinese men's basketball team, Japanese commentator Takeda Hikosheng said enviously:
"The main players of this Chinese team are not only experienced in many battles, but even the alternates are all well-known players in Asia."
On the side, the guest commentator Hikosuke Nakamura sighed and said, "What a terrible team!
Can you believe it, their trump card in the formation......
Are players like Yao Ming and Su Feng only 19 and 21 years old this year? ”
Hearing this, Takeda shook his head and said: "In the next ten years, it will be difficult for Asian basketball to have a team that can compete with this Chinese team!" ”
It is worth mentioning that before the start of this game, when he noticed the local promotional slogan about this game in Fukuoka, Su Feng was almost not killed by "thunder" at that time......
Because although Su Feng can't speak Japanese, looking at the Japanese written on the poster, Su Feng can still roughly understand it.
Like what imperial Tyrannosaurus rex......
How dare you believe that this is a nickname given to Xiaoyao by the Japanese?
What else is the strongest active from the galaxy......
Hong Kong Zhen, for a second, Su Feng felt that he was just about to transform immediately, incarnating as a saint seiya to save Athena.
However, although these slogans are extremely middle-two, from the side, you can also see the worship of the strong in the bones of the Japanese.
As the first game of the knockout round of the Chinese men's basketball team, compared with the previous group stage and semi-finals, the whole men's basketball team also showed a "high degree" of importance to this quarterfinals.
For example, in order to investigate the strength of Michael Takahashi, a naturalized player in the Japanese team, Hu Weidong went to the scene to watch the previous Japanese team games.
And then......
If Hu Weidong's evaluation of Michael Takahashi is translated into the Internet language commonly used in the future......
That's roughly the following:
That's it?
Such a player also deserves to be called "Japanese Jordan"?
No way......
If you want the men's basketball team to go all out in Asian-level competitions, then you can't do it until the Koreans naturalize Kobe.
Of course, although Michael Takahashi's level is not very good in Hu Weidong's opinion, after watching the Japanese team's game, Hu Weidong believes that the Chinese men's basketball team should still pay a little attention to a scoring guard of the Japanese team.
And this shooting guard will also be one of the legends of Japanese basketball in the future.
———— Shigehiko Taketake.
The 29-year-old is 190 centimeters tall and weighs 77 kilograms, and has a very accurate shot.
And for his name, Su Feng will not be unfamiliar.
Because of the future, this gentleman played until 2020, and at the age of 50, he ended his career.
And in 2011, Shigehiko Oritake was expelled from the Japan Professional League because his team went bankrupt.......
So, in order to continue his career, Shigehiko Oritake took out all his savings and established a new basketball club.
I have to say that Shigehiko Oritake is indeed an avid basketball enthusiast.
And on the court, when he noticed that the Japanese team was being marked by Shigehiko Oritake tonight, Su Feng couldn't help but look at the goods for a few more seconds.
"Su Fengjun, although my strength is far inferior to yours, I will definitely let you see that I am not inferior to you......
Love for basketball! ”
And after noticing Su Feng's gaze coming to him, he looked up at Su Feng, and suddenly said to Su Feng in his very non-standard English.
Su Feng: "......"
Crooked, that's enough!
Labor and management are not the male protagonists of shonen manga!
Ahem, let's get down to business.
Different from the previous games, tonight's Chinese men's basketball team sent an inside combination composed of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi for the first time in the starter.
On the front line, Su Feng and Hu Weidong are partners.
In addition, in terms of point guard, it is still Li Xiaoyong who bears the blame.
"I used to think that Takahashi was a tall, muscular player.
But this time I stood with Yao Ming of the Chinese team, and I felt like Takahashi was a middle school student. On the commentary bench, when noticing Yao Ming and Takahashi who were about to jump the ball in the center of the court to start the game, Takeda Hikoo said with emotion.
"This is exactly what is terrible about the Chinese team!
Not only do they have a height above you, but in terms of mobility, Yao Ming's mobility is far superior to that of other interior players in this tournament! Hikosuke Nakamura added.
"Speaking of which, Su Feng hasn't played much in this competition, is it because the Asian-level competition is no longer in his eyes?" Takeda Hikoo said curiously.
"Maybe this is the arrogance of the NBA emperor, if you want me to do my best, then at least you have to have that kind of qualification!" Hikosuke Nakamura said.
On the court, just as the two Japanese commentators were explaining to Japanese fans, Xiao Yao easily defeated Takahashi in the jump ball.
The Chinese men's basketball team played the first offense, and Li Xiaoyong was responsible for dribbling through the half.
Before the start of this game, although public opinion in Japan generally believed that the Japanese men's basketball team could knock out GG in advance, it was clear that the Japanese players on the court tonight still wanted to try to create a miracle.
It's just that......
On the field, at the moment when Li Xiaoyong passed the ball to Su Feng, Shigehiko Zhiwu, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Su Feng, didn't even have time to react, and Su Feng had already disappeared in front of him.
After many years in the future, Shigehiko Oritake once recalled in an interview that he had this confrontation with Su Feng back then.
"It's really like a gust of wind, you just feel a light breeze blowing in front of you, and Su Feng has disappeared without a trace."
Bang Dang——!
In the penalty area, a one-handed split buckle from Su Feng after breaking through!
At this moment, Mount Fuji seemed to have been split in two by Su Feng!
"In Toronto, Canadians once said that Su Feng was the light of their north!
And today, as soon as it opened, Su Feng's 'light of Asia' shone brightly! On the commentary seat, Hikoo Takeda explained.
(Canadian fans: Why don't we remember saying such a second-class thing?) )
"It's such a powerful performance, even in the comics, I've never seen such a powerful dunk!" On the side, Hikosuke Nakamura also sighed.
In the stands, this sports center, which can accommodate more than 5,000 people, was already immersed in the spiritual shock brought to them by Su Feng's opening slam buckle.
And looking back, it was when the Japanese team was about to play a three-point strategy through passing and cutting cooperation......
As the core of the Japanese team's outside attack, he originally thought that he had thrown off Su Feng's Shigehiko Oritake, but when he was about to make a move, he ......
Saw that terrifying figure again!
This is......
Shigehiko Oritake, who chose to force his shot, watched Su Feng just like this, and directly confiscated the basketball he threw from the air!
And then, after landing on the ground, Su Feng directly strode up and crossed the court like lightning.
Usually in the Japanese team, Takahashi, who is a naturalized player, performs the so-called "aesthetics of violence" for these Japanese players with average physical fitness.
However, on the court, the moment he noticed that Su Feng jumped directly two steps before the free throw line and dunked with both hands......
Even Takahashi himself felt the huge gap in talent between him and Su Feng......
Bang Dang——!
"Is he really human?" Japanese commentator Hikoo Takeda asked.
"I feel like compared to Su Feng, our outside players are as weak as babies." Hikosuke Nakamura said.
And on the court, after two consecutive violent dunks, hammering his chest, Su Feng felt that the sweat he had shed in the summer devil special training was really worth it.
Because now, he is already a real "Toronto Raven"!
On the field, it was the turn of the Japanese team to attack.
Through the passing and cutting run, the Japanese team found their naturalized player Takahashi this time.
However, just when Gao Qiao was about to turn around and go to the basket, Xiao Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, directly invited him to eat Shanghai Haidilao.
"It's a wall of sighs, can we really jump over such giants and score in this game?" Japanese commentator Hikoo Takeda, who saw this scene, said in surprise.
"It is worthy of the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Empire, in the face of Yao Ming, Takahashi has no power to fight back!" On the other side, Hikosuke Nakamura added.
On the field, after Xiao Yao's hat fell off Takahashi, Hu Weidong grabbed the second landing point, and then immediately launched a counterattack by the "Chinese Jordan" dribbling himself.
In this life, because of the relationship that he has honed in the NBA, compared to the strength itself, the current old Hu, in Su Feng's opinion, what has really become stronger is his confidence and ability to fight under high-intensity games.
After Hu Weidong quickly dribbled the ball past half court, he didn't care if there was anyone in front of him, he just raised his hand and threw it away.
And his sniper, in a sense, you can even understand it as a blind sniper.
Because with Hu Weidong's eyesight, it is impossible for him to see the basket frame clearly.
Hmmm——!
Hu Weidong got up and down with a knife in his hand and scored another three points for the Chinese men's basketball team.
7 to 0!
In front of the TV, the ghost knows how happy Chinese fans are in this era......
Because don't look at it, they all dominate Asia, but the Chinese men's basketball team in this life, in terms of playing style, is called a free one.
In the first half of the game, under the joint efforts of the "Suhu" combination, the outside line that the Japanese team has always relied on for survival was soon completely blown up by the Chinese men's basketball team.
Under FIBA's rules, because FIBA's three-point line is shorter, when shooting three-pointers, people like Su Feng and Hu Weidong are thrown around in the NBA itself.......
What are the concerns?
Coupled with Xiaoyao's rebounding guarantee, the Chinese men's basketball team's playing style tonight can be completely understood as:
———— Natsuhime fights.
Only 8 minutes into the game, the Chinese men's basketball team has stretched the score of the two teams to 25-7.
And then, under the impact of Wang Zhizhi, Bather, Xiaoyao and others......
Because of the fear of the Chinese team's outside firepower, the Japanese team's already short interior players can only be described as collapsing at the touch of a button.
At halftime, looking at the desperate score, Japanese commentator Hikoo Takeda said with emotion:
"Although this statement is unfair to the players on the court who have not given up, I think we must celebrate the Chinese team in advance to reach the semi-finals."
"This is the strength of the strongest representative of Asian basketball!
Maybe the score of this game will be very humiliating, but losing to such a strong player is not a very shameful thing in my opinion. On the side, Hikosuke Nakamura said.
"That's true, after all, in the NBA, even a monster like Shaq O'Neal has never defeated Su Feng even once." Hikoo Takeda continued.
"Yes! Seriously, at this moment, even as an opponent, I can't help but start looking forward to the performance of this Chinese team in the Olympics next year. Hikosuke Nakamura said.
"Sydney Olympics?
Well, I think after King's Landing in Asia, the next target of this Chinese team should be the American Dream Team that has always been at the top of world basketball, right? Takeda said.
"It is said that Asians are not suitable for basketball, but whether it is Su Feng or Yao Ming, they have shown us that Asians can also succeed in basketball.
Therefore, the Chinese team, please continue to move forward with the love for basketball of all Asian teams! ”
After the break, because the score gap between the two teams was too large, the result of this game was obviously out of suspense.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Japanese players on the field fought until the last second.
It's a pity that competitive sports, after all, have to look at strength.
In the end, 106-65, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully advanced to the semifinals with a 41-point victory.
In the whole game, Su Feng played 19 minutes and got 18 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and 2 assists.
Yao Ming brushed up a dominant record of 24 points, 21 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 5 assists.
Then, the next day, in the semifinals with Chinese Taipei, the men's basketball team won 105-64.
Before this semi-final with the Chinese Taipei team, Taiwanese fans were looking forward to "Taiwan Jordan" Zheng Zhilong being able to fight Su Feng......
But after the game, even Zheng Zhilong himself admitted that he and Su Feng were not players of the same level at all.
But don't say it, in terms of strength, Zheng Zhilong is indeed the closest player to Hu Weidong in Asia during this period.
It's just that in this game, under Su Feng's marking, Zheng Zhilong didn't even think it was going to score, and he even felt that it was very difficult to shoot.
And on the 4th, in the final with the South Korean team, the Chinese fans who were very expected that the South Korean team would be able to force Su Feng's strongest form......
They were disappointed.
Because, in this final, the Chinese men's basketball team only took less than 10 minutes to successfully kill the suspense of the game.
In the end, 109-59, the Chinese men's basketball team won a 50-point victory and once again reached the top of Asia with seven wins.
And CCTV, Director Zhang also sighed for the first time: "This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and coincidentally, the Chinese men's basketball team also won the South Korean team by 50 points in the final finals. ”
On the side, Director Sun smiled and said: "There is a providence in the dark.
The Asian Championship this time is the best gift from the boys of the men's basketball team to the 50th birthday of the motherland.
Let's congratulate the Chinese men's basketball team once again, they successfully won the championship of this year's Fukuoka Asian Championship and got the ticket to the Sydney Olympics next year! ”
On the court, when he was about to lift the Asian Championship trophy with his teammates, he looked at the total 135 million iron worth in his mind......
Su Feng knows that for the Chinese men's basketball team, next year's Sydney Olympics will be the real test.
Therefore, the conquest of Asia was not a joy in Su Feng's opinion.
And next......
How the Raptors should defend their title next season is also a headache in Su Feng's opinion.
In short, the road is long, and there is only honor as a companion.
For Su Feng, who is only 21 years old, his career has just begun......
……
PS: Good morning!
