Chapter 406: Asian Championship Cup
There was basically no suspense in the F match, and the Chinese men's basketball team still swept all opponents with an invincible momentum and successfully entered the finals with the first point score.
In the three matches against Qatar, Kazakhstan and Lebanon, the scores were 99:49, 87:45 and 103:48 respectively.
There is no exception for any team, and all of them are more than 50 points apart.
The media couldn't help but say bluntly that the Chinese men's basketball team is really crazy, and whoever you love will abuse you.
Throughout the group stage and rematch, the most luxurious data in the Chinese men's basketball team is Hao Peng, averaging 20.5 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks per game.
The highest scorer in the team is Cheng Jie, who averages 26 points per game and is the team's top scorer.
And when people focus on the statistics of the entire Asian Championships, they will be shocked to find a situation.
The first place in the scoring list is Cheng Jie of the Chinese men's basketball team with 26 points.
The first rebounding list is Hao Peng's average of 16 rebounds per game.
The first steal list is Wang Meng's average of 3.3 steals per game.
The first block on the list is Hao Peng's average of 4 blocks per game.
Except for the assist list, all the lists are completely occupied by the Chinese men's basketball team.
Seeing this list, people also began to understand why the Chinese men's basketball team had such a crushing performance in this Asian Championship.
……
Wang Xiao was very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team before the finals, they exceeded their goal, if it weren't for the fact that the Basketball Association always loved to call and harass at halftime, and even the score gap would be even greater.
After the group stage and semi-finals, all that remains is the final.
The teams that reached the quarterfinals were the Chinese men's basketball team, South Korea, Japan, Iran, Qatar, India, the Philippines and Lebanon.
The Chinese men's basketball team's opponent in the 1/4 finals is India.
The three were full of sadness, and the countries in Group F who were playing with the Chinese men's basketball team in the rematch were gloating.
The benefits of being abused in the early stage are finally showing up at this time!
When it comes to the finals, the countries that are in the same group as the semi-finals will not meet in the 1/4 finals, so it is also time for the guys in Group E to experience how painful it is to play against the Chinese men's basketball team.
The three Indian brothers became the first victims.
In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team blossomed across the board, Cheng Jie shot 5 of 7 three-pointers, Wang Meng shot 4 of 5, Yi Jianlian shot 2 of 2, Guo Allen, Zhou Peng and others also scored three points.
India was killed by a three-point shot, and the final score was fixed at 117:61, a difference of 56 points.
On October 2, the semifinals, Huaxia men's basketball team VS Iran.
As an opponent, Iran may be the strongest opponent faced by the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Championships.
Of course, this is only relatively.
In terms of strength, in recent years, Iran and South Korea have been somewhat close, and the two teams have won and lost each other when they meet on the field, and in the 1/4 finals, Iran and South Korea met, and finally eliminated South Korea 75:62 to advance to the semifinals.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, this game is still a little difficult...... The difficulty is how to win by more than 50 points, after all, the opponent is not an idle person.
For this reason, Wang Xiao also gathered the players for a small meeting the day before the game and arranged tactics against Iran.
On the day of the semifinals, the Chinese men's basketball team strictly followed Wang Xiao's tactical arrangement from beginning to end.
In fact, it is not a very elaborate tactical arrangement, on the contrary, it is very simple...... Let Hao Peng play singles.
The Iranian men's basketball team is good at joint defense, and there are many ways to deal with joint defense, strong outside firepower is one thing, and a one-pillar interior line is another.
The position of the joint defense does not allow two interior players to defend under the same side of the basket, so whenever Hao Peng receives the ball, he is facing an interior player of the opponent.
With his current ability, playing an Iranian interior player alone is no different than playing a game.
Hao Peng gave full play to his talents, scoring 37 points in just half a game, helping the team establish a huge advantage.
The consequences of letting Hao Peng score casually are very serious. Robinson has won the scoring title as a center, and his 71 points in the NBA league are also the second highest in the league, second only to Kobe's 81 points. (The NBA single-game scoring record has been recorded since the 1985-86 season, so while Chamberlain's 100 points per game are recognized, there is no official record.) )
In the second half, the Iranian team, which broke the jar, began to wrap Hao Peng to limit Hao Peng's scoring, but in this way, it also liberated the outside firepower of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the score difference was further widened.
When the game ended, the score between the two sides was 98:47, a 51-point difference, a little thrilling, if it wasn't for the end of the game Cheng Jie hit a three-pointer, I'm afraid that the goal of a continuous 50-point difference will end in the semifinals.
……
After eliminating Iran in the semifinals, there was only one team left in front of the Chinese men's basketball team, the Philippines.
The Philippines, which defeated Japan to reach the finals, was not particularly happy, but a little sad.
Is it finally our turn? Why do we have to endure pain that we shouldn't have at this age?
If the game can be abstained, the Philippines may choose to surrender at the first time, who wants to play against this monster team that averages 50+ points per game in the entire Asian Championships?
But surrender is impossible, and it is impossible in this life, if the Philippines really dares to do this, it will definitely be blacklisted by the Asian Championships Organizing Committee, and it will be difficult to join in the fun in the future.
So, on October 3, under the watchful eyes of the public, the Philippines and the Chinese men's basketball team launched a final without suspense, and the audience had no sense of expectation.
It only took 5 minutes to decide the winner of the whole game, and the next 35 minutes were just boring hanging and scoring time.
The final score was fixed at 111:56, and the Philippines lost 55 points in the finals, which was quite a humiliating runner-up in the Asian Championships.
The Chinese men's basketball team, which won the championship, won the ticket to the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Wang Xiao, who successfully completed the task, didn't even have the time to have a celebration banquet with the team members, and hurried to the United States as soon as the event ended.
There are also NBA players such as Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, and Yi Jianlian.
The finals of the Asian Championship are on October 3, while the start of the new NBA season is on October 9.
Time was tight.
After returning to Milwaukee non-stop, Wang Xiao immediately devoted himself to the players' pre-season recovery training, and also had a roster of the team's players for the new season.
It turns out that the general manager of the Bucks is not a rice bucket, and Klay. When Thompson's agent discussed the contract, he showed great sincerity and did not hesitate to make a maximum salary offer.
4 years and $70 million, this sky-high contract allowed Thompson to switch from the Wizards to the Bucks.
