In this Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team sent a red team to participate. With the return of Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang, as well as the strong joining of Li Yang, this team has been in excellent form recently, which makes people see a great possibility of winning gold.

As the Philippine men's basketball team, which previously announced its withdrawal from the Asian Games, returned to the Asian Games and was in a group with the Chinese team, the Chinese men's basketball team will play this strong opponent for the first time on the afternoon of the 21st.

The withdrawal of the Philippine men's basketball team is inevitably reminiscent of a recent unprecedented incident of violence on the court.

In the previous men's basketball World Cup qualifiers, in the match between the Philippines and Australia, a large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides, and the scene was quite hot.

In the end, FIBA issued a fine, and 10 Filipino players were banned for different games for unsportsmanlike behavior. Reyes and assistant coach Joseph were also suspended, and the Philippine Basketball Association was also fined.

However, as the first opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage, the strength of the Philippine national team this time is also very good. At the beginning of July, FIBA announced the latest men's basketball world rankings, and the Philippine men's basketball team followed the Chinese team, ranking fourth in Asia and 30th in the world.

Therefore, the obstacles on the way to the championship of the Chinese men's basketball team are destined to be no less, but fortunately, this time the Philippines did not send the strongest lineup.

Twenty minutes before the opening time, the Philippine men's basketball team was on the bench.

Philippine Basketball Association President Al? Pan Lillo stood in front of the bench with a smile on his face, and said to his players in high spirits: "Comrades, the exciting moment is coming, and you are about to usher in the first game of this Asian Games, and I wish you victory in advance." ”

"At the same time, I have to remind you that your opponent is the former Asian hegemon, although our main purpose in this competition is to train troops, and for some reason we have not been able to send the strongest team, but I believe you are also the strongest !!"

"Therefore, we have to take the game seriously, show our heroism, and have a good hand with the Chinese team and give them some color. Okay, remember to let go of the fight, then I won't bother you to prepare for the game! ”

The president of the Philippine Basketball Association stepped aside, while members of the Philippine team's coaching staff stepped forward, and head coach Yeng Guiao (salt?) Gui Ao said: "Regarding your old rival Chinese team, we have also watched their games, and we should know them well. ”

"Not to mention, in the men's Asian Cup last summer, the blue team representing the Chinese men's basketball team met us in the first game of the group stage, and finally we defeated the Chinese blue team 96-87.

The Chinese team has the presence of Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi in the inner line, which is their strongest point, you and Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi have played against each other many times in previous games, and you must be more familiar with them than me. In other words, China's internal strength is definitely the top in Asia. ”

Speaking of Zhou Qi, everyone looked at Jordan? Clarkson. Jordan? Clarkson is now a Cleveland Cavaliers player and should be aware of several NBA players in the Chinese team.

Jordan? Clarkson continued: "The Chinese team has Ding Yanyuhang on the front line and Zhou Qi on the inside, but the strength is also the rotation level of the summer league. ”

"There are a few good pitchers on the perimeter, but they are obviously not very physical, and they are also a problem in terms of physical strength, so I think if you put a lot of defensive pressure on them, they will make mistakes."

"In general, apart from me, I think our strength is half as good as the opponent, but I believe that under my leadership, it is certain to win against the Chinese team, the question is how many points we will win." Clarkson said confidently patting his chest with a honeyed face.

Everyone laughed, hearing the boss say this, they had the bottom in their hearts, and even if they lost, he would stand up to him, so what were they afraid of.

"Finally, I have to mention one person." Clarkson said in a somewhat solemn tone: "That's Li Yang." ”

"Li Yang? I've heard the name. Ye Lizhong (JS Yap, a Chinese player) whispered.

"It's the No. 13 rookie this year, and it's said that the speed is very fast!!" Chris Tiu couldn't help but remind.

"I'll guess it's him! The new face of the Chinese men's basketball team is him! "Paul? Paul Lee said with no surprise at all.

"Hey, I just like to abuse these rookies, this time it's a lottery show, it's said that he is also called "Little Curry", so let me, "Harden", meet him, it's so exciting to think about! "Stanley? Stanley Pringle's eyes lit up.

Stanley? Pringle is an American naturalized player with very good individual technical ability, known as the Philippine Harden because of his strong scoring ability.

"Who is Li Yang, what the hell? How come I haven't heard of it!! "Maverick? Maverick Aha****i muttered in a whisper with a question mark on his face.

"Aren't you paying attention to this year's NBA Draft? Li Yang participated in this year's NBA Draft and was selected by the Clippers with the 13th pick in the first round. Clarkson patiently explained, while looking at the other party speechlessly, and secretly complained in his heart, "This is definitely a pig teammate, and suddenly I feel a little untouchable." ”

"Oh, 13th pick, I don't care about anything other than the top three." Maverick? Adamici replied faintly, and then shook her head seriously under Clarkson's expectant gaze.

"Uh, are you so awesome? I don't pay attention to the top three and the following, where do you put me in the face of a player with the 46th pick in 2014!! ”

Clarkson just wanted to scold the other party angrily at the moment, "Why don't you go to the NBA to mix up with you so awesome, what kind of fairy teammates are this!" I suddenly regretted the big words I just released, I'm still too young!! ”

The atmosphere in the Philippines is still relatively active on the whole, and there is no shortage of muscular men who can fight well in the team, and because Clarkson has just arrived and just joined the Philippine family this year, Clarkson's position as the boss is not very stable.

After several main players finished discussing, Clarkson said: "You are right, it is the No. 13 rookie Li Yang, I witnessed the whole process when he came to the Cavaliers for tryout, in short, there are a few brushes, which is a few levels worse than me!" ”

"Oh, oh......" The crowd exclaimed, very cooperative with the boss's speech, and some even made more pompous expressions.

"For Li Yang, I have very limited information, judging from the video of only two summer league games, we don't know his style of play, his technical characteristics, only that his three points are very sharp."

But based on Li Yang's performance in the Summer League, our coaching staff made a few basic judgments. "Coach salt? Gui Ao flipped through the information and continued: "First of all, Li Yang's height announced in the draft report is 1.90 meters, but judging from the comparison between him and other guards in the summer league, the height is obviously inconsistent, at least above 1.93 meters. ”

"At this level, he is likely to play in the number one and number two positions, but it is not ruled out that he will appear in the number three position."

Coach salt? Gui Ao said as he looked at several defenders to remind them to pay attention, and then he looked at the record book in his hand and said: "The official Li Yang weighs 85kg, and in fact it should be 92kg. Wade, and Li Yang's speed is also very fast, no one should question this. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, judging from Li Yang's height and weight data, it is indeed similar to Wade, and everyone understands the meaning behind this, Wade's physical confrontation ability is in the forefront of the NBA, which also shows that Li Yang's physical confrontation should not be much worse.

"Li Yang's height and weight data should not be very accurate, I have met him, and his real person looks thinner and taller than Dwyan." Clarkson spoke.

"Clarkson is right, and that's the second point I'm going to make." Salt? Gui Ao continued: "Li Yang is very different from the Asian players we remember. Our impression of Asian players is either too thin and lacks the ability to fight, or although they have weight, they have lost their flexibility. ”

"Li Yang is not only physically strong, has excellent confrontation ability, fast speed, and relatively good explosiveness, but also should not lose a single inch in physical flexibility and flexibility of movement, and his body is more inclined to American players!"

This time, everyone's expressions finally became serious. The strength of American players is undoubtedly their physical talent, and Americans value muscles, and an opponent with both physical and technical talents will obviously attract everyone's attention.

"The third point I want to make is the choice of play." Shashewski continued: "We don't know what Li Yang is good at, but after the analysis of our coaching staff, we are more inclined to choose Li Yang's three-point shooting. ”

"While speed is undoubtedly a big advantage for Li Yang, once he's on the field, keep an eye out for his quick breaks. But in comparison, the most terrifying thing is his accurate three-point shooting skills. ”

"As I said earlier, Li Yang is very fast, and when someone blocks him, we need other players to help defend quickly."

Salt? Guio said as he looked at Poy E

AM) and Christian Standhardinger. In this edition of the Philippine national team, salt? The only interior defenders that Guiao can count on are these two people.

Both of them are black players who have been planned back from the United States and Germany, and their one-on-one defensive ability and co-defense ability are among the best in the team.

……

Next, salt? Guiao highlighted a few more issues, then disbanded the team and the players began to warm up for the upcoming game.

"Mike, aren't we a little worried?" Salt? Guiao turned his head and asked the assistant coach beside him.

I saw Mike smile slightly and said, "To be honest, I'm really looking forward to Li Yang's performance to see if our Clarkson is better or if he is better!" ”

The game is about to start, and at this time, the stadium is already full of spectators, and countless balls are waiting for it.

In fact, the reason why there are so many fans is largely because of Li Yang.

You must know that Li Yang is a promising star in this year's NBA lottery show and about to land in the NBA, and his first game in the national team naturally attracted the attention of countless fans.

Thousands of spectators, a large part of whom came for the showdown between Li Yang and Clarkson.
