Chapter Eighty-Nine: How did the good Strange Soldier become the starter?

In a blink of an eye, on the 27th, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in their first opponent in the knockout round, but Li Yang still failed to break through, so he could only put it aside for the time being and focus on the game with the host Indonesian men's basketball team four days later.

Facing tonight's host Indonesian team, the Chinese men's basketball team is determined to win, winning is certain, the key is to see how many points it can win, after all, from the Chinese men's basketball team's record against Indonesia, the Chinese team has maintained an undefeated golden body for 43 years.

And in the game on August 26 the day before, the Chinese women's basketball team just bloodied the host Indonesian women's basketball team with a score of 141:37, with a single game of 104 points, which is simply appalling, and the Chinese women's basketball team entered the semifinals with an invincible posture and domineering.

In the past history of warfare, the Chinese men's basketball team and Indonesia have never met in the Asian Games, and the most memorable is the Kuala Lumpur Asian Championships, where the Chinese men's basketball team slaughtered Indonesia 138-31 in the group stage by 107 points!!

Indonesia faces the Chinese team that is determined to win the championship and is fierce, and in the case of the disparity in strength between the two sides, there is obviously no suspense in tonight's game, which can be used as the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team to prepare for the semifinals.

Today is the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team to enter the 14 finals, and the opponent is the host Indonesian men's basketball team, which is ranked second in Group A.

The game didn't start until half past seven, but the Chinese men's basketball team arrived at the arena early, and the Indonesian men's basketball team is not a strong team, which can be known from the fact that they only ranked second in Group A and barely advanced by relying on a narrow goal difference.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, it is not difficult to win this game, but no one will take it lightly, their goal is the championship, and this is a knockout match, a game of life and death, no one dares to take it lightly, and anyone may be eliminated.

At half past seven in the evening, the game began.

On the Chinese men's basketball team's side, Li Nan began to select the starters: "Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Abudu Salamu, Ding Yanyuhang, and finally ...... Li Yang, a few of you go up together. ”

Hearing that there was still his own name, Li Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he was about to start, shouldn't he start again in the last game?

Others were also instinctively stunned, and then they showed a kind smile to Li Yang encouragingly, in fact, with Li Yang's strength, there was no suspense at all when he entered the starter, it was a matter of the coach's words.

In fact, after playing so many games before he started, everyone already felt a little sorry for Li Yang's super ability and the identity of the lottery show, but it was just because of the coach's arrangement that he couldn't speak.

"What are you doing stupidly, are you still unwilling?" Li Nan glared at Li Yang.

"How is it possible, I am willing, a hundred willing, who does not agree with me to be anxious with him." Li Yang replied.

"But, coach, I don't have to be a secret weapon anymore? I'm ready to come out at the last minute to turn the tide and ride the Savior alone!! Li Yang asked suspiciously.

Hearing Li Yang's question, Li Nan couldn't help but kick his foot anymore, and explained with a smile: "Stinky boy, why do I feel that you are a little floating, I have even thought about the script, and I still want to learn from Changshan Zhao Zilong to ride the savior alone!! ”

"But you don't have this chance, now that you're in the knockout round, you can't have any mistakes in every game, your miracle career is over, and you don't need to hide your strength anymore, so I'll let you play the starter today, and you will give me a good fight, I won't peel your skin if you don't look good!!"

"Also, I have only one request for you, that is, to give me enough strength, show your strongest strength, let those people in the outside world see the strength of our Chinese defenders, and let them see the confidence of our Chinese players, you know?"

Hearing this, Li Yang did not hesitate at all, Li Nan did not say that there was only one request, even if there were ten, he agreed without hesitation.

"I'll do something, don't worry! Coach, you can take a look, see how I dominate the crowd and dominate the crowd. Li Yang was shocked when he heard this, his blood boiled, and he hurriedly patted his chest hard, swearing and reassuring.

After a while, the whistle blew and the starters began to play.

Seeing Li Yang start the game, the Chinese fans in the audience were immediately excited, it was a surprise, this is the rhythm that is about to explode at the beginning.

Especially Li Yang's fans, their faces turned red with excitement, and some female fans began to scream loudly, and even held their best friend's hand and shouted: "Oh, oh, look, Li Yang has started, this is his first time as a starter." ”

At this time, Li Yang felt the sudden hot atmosphere of the scene, and the eyes of all the fans fell on him.

He looked up at the crowd, his eyes wandering back and forth at the fans who supported him, and his heart was very moved, and everything was self-evident. can only return a sincere smile, and only with an outstanding performance on the field can we live up to these lovely fans.

……

In the other half, the Indonesian players who were fighting at home were also a little surprised, they didn't expect Li Yang to be so popular with the home fans, and suddenly there was a feeling of dominance, and their hearts were like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and suddenly there was a feeling of mixed taste, and then they immediately reined in their minds, and they were cowardly before the battle, but the stadium was taboo.

For Li Yang, an NBA lottery rookie, no matter which team has a deep fear, and today he actually started to start, which gave Indonesia a sense of a storm.

The game is about to start, and now the arena is full of people, almost full.

Just yesterday, because the Chinese women's basketball team strongly crushed the Indonesian women's basketball team's explosive performance, it directly attracted the attention of countless local fans and Chinese fans.

Therefore, the matchup between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Indonesian men's basketball team in this game was the main reason why they rushed to watch the scene.

"Indonesia's starting lineup is: small forward Jabbar Johnson (naturalized), power forward Mohamed Hart, center Ingravan, point guard Gmerang, and point guard Pravedo."

"The Chinese team adjusted the starting lineup of the starting lineup, they are Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang, Abdul Salamu, Liu Zhixuan and Li Yang."

"Judging from the books, the Chinese team obviously occupies an absolute advantage in all positions, with a large and four small exquisite configurations, Zhou Qi is responsible for guarding the basket; Ding Yanyuhang broke through with the ball; Abdul Salamu air cut follow-up; Liu Zhixuan can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position, and has a reliable three-point hand; Not to mention Li Yang, he is accurate in three points, flexible in running, and can also connect the team well. ”

"The Indonesian men's basketball team, as a generally short man, even the center is not more than 2 meters tall, the inside line is very weak, mainly with naturalized player Jabbar Johnson as the offensive core, this Asian Games to reach the quarterfinals has completed their set goal, this time to meet the Chinese men's basketball team aspiring to win the championship, if you want to go further, the hope is basically zero......"

In Tencent's live broadcast room, Coach Ma was talking and analyzing the lineups of the two teams.

"Toot Toot !!"

The game is on, and the ball is ready to jump.

Zhou Qi and Ingravan (a short and stocky center forward less than two meters tall) jump the ball.

Although Ingravan has the advantage in weight, the gap between the two is obvious in the face of Zhou Qi, who has both height and super long arm span.

"Smack!" , Zhou Qi easily won the jump ball and directly gave the ball to his teammate Li Yang in the backcourt.

Li Yang took the ball and accelerated directly, and a dribble behind his back without slowing down passed the Indonesian defender Pravedo who was blocking in front, and quickly rushed towards the front.

The last serve came first, chasing the ass of the Indonesian player to play the fast attack, and the opponent has not completely fallen into the defensive camp, he has stepped on the Hot Wheels to reach the free throw line.

"Be careful!"

On the sidelines, Indonesian coach Mark Dicker shouted to the players on the pitch that it was too late.

Before Indonesia came over, Li Yang had already completed a layup quickly, caught Indonesia off guard with amazing speed, and took the lead in scoring two points!

“2:0!” The Chinese team took the lead.

Li Yang's opening one-stop layup ignited the entire arena, and the entire arena suddenly boiled like boiling water! Countless fans in the audience have already begun to cheer excitedly.
