China's opponent in the semi-finals is Iran, an Asian powerhouse that has risen in recent years.

Deng Huade's side naturally attached great importance to it, and poured chicken soup into the national players on the day of the game.

If you want to talk about the level of chicken soup, Deng Huade is definitely the first in the world, the kind of first without any competitors, which is almost equivalent to Yi Dun's status in the track and field circle.

Under his chicken soup offensive, a group of young players in the team are like chicken blood, ready to try their hands and ready to appear at any time.

Yi Dun is definitely not one of those stunned youths, he has seen too much of the world, and with Deng Huade's chicken soup, he obviously can't make his heart touch.

When three o'clock in the afternoon, Deng Huade directly brought a translator and found Yi Dun, saying that he wanted to talk to Yi Dun.

Yi Dun did not refuse, and chatted with Deng Huade for a while with the help of a translator.

Deng Huade mainly told Yi Dun about the playing time, hinting that Yi Dun might not be given a lot of playing time.

Yi Dun definitely didn't take it to heart, this "dedication" spirit, Yi Dun still has.

In fact, Deng Huade made such a decision, which was also risky.

The current Deng Huade is also difficult to ride a tiger.

If he can lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win a streak until the end of the Asian Games in the next game, then everything is easy to say, even if Yi Dun is not allowed to appear for a second, no one can find fault.

But if Eden didn't get much playing time, he lost and failed to win the Asian Games.

Then it can be said that Deng Huade's position as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team has come to an end, and he will definitely be pulled down by angry fans at home.

Fans are only consequential, Yi Dun's strength is at least quite strong in the CBA league, but you Deng Huade did not let Yi Dun appear, resulting in not even winning the Asian Games championship, who will get out of class if you don't get out of class.

So now Deng Huade can only hope that the team can continue to win until he wins the Asian Games.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the semi-final matchup between China and Iran began.

The entrance of Eden made the atmosphere of the scene directly enter the climax, and whether it was the fans or the fans of other projects of Eden, they all stood up and cheered for Eden.

"Your popularity is really terrible, good guy, I don't think Yao Ming's admission is as sensational as yours." Yi Dun's golden partner Zhang Zhaoxu said enviously.

"No, you have to know that it's not just basketball fans, there are some spectators who aren't interested in basketball at all, they're interested in Edom."

"By the way, Eden, do you have any thoughts about playing in the NBA?" Wang Zhizhi asked abruptly.

After this question was asked, everyone suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Yi Dun to hear how Yi Dun answered.

If Eden wants to enter the NBA now, it is likely to take the path of the draft, but the draft is more about potential than immediacy, and Eden's draft pick will definitely not be high.

Don't look at Eden's data in the CBA is quite luxurious, but due to his height, Eden is likely to enter the NBA as a second-round pick.

There are still a lot of college players in the NCAA who have extravagant stats and are not high in the draft because of their poor physical fitness, or they are simply not selected.

Yi Dun's height of 190 is really too short in the current era when point guards have to be 1.9 meters tall.

Everyone was curious about whether Yi Dun had the idea of playing in the NBA.

"Nope." Yi Dun replied crisply.

"Or not for the time being, who can say for sure what will happen in the future, at least I can't find a reason to play in the NBA right now."

Everyone nodded, and that was true.

Playing in the NBA is either for fame or profit, and of course, there must be a desire to hone your skills.

This is like a foreign table tennis player, who has been practicing in China for ten years, and his skills will definitely be greatly improved.

With Eden now famous, is it necessary to play in the NBA for the sake of fame? There is no need for this at all.

For profit? NBA players do make a lot of money, but their main sources of income are divided into salaries from teams and commercial endorsements.

And now those NBA stars have signed commercial endorsements, Yi Dun has also signed, at most less than those people's salary.

However, Eden has some tournament bonuses, so in terms of income, it must be no less than an NBA star.

To hone your skills? This is even more impossible, anyway, in the eyes of everyone, Yi Dun's current skills really don't have to be honed in the NBA.

So Yi Dun said that he did not plan to play in the NBA at present, which was completely unexpected.

In the eyes of these national players, if they were Yi Dun, they would definitely not go to the NBA.

He is now a big athlete in track and field, weightlifting and wrestling, earning a lot and being famous, so there is really no reason to go to the NBA to be a pawn.

"Well, yesterday Da Yao called me and asked about your situation, saying that if you want to play in the NBA, let you contact him, and he will help you at any time." Wang Zhizhi said with a smile.

Yi Dun nodded, just like he said, if nothing else, he would definitely not go to the NBA to play, so Yao Ming's kindness can only be appreciated by himself.

……

Eden sat down on the bench and waited for tonight's semi-final to begin.

"Doot toot!"

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the starters of both sides began to come on.

The audience was dumbfounded, Yi Dun was not in the starting lineup?!

What do you mean? Does Eden have to guard the water dispenser?

If it was left in the CBA league, the fans would definitely be dissatisfied and boo, but now that it is the Asian Games, no matter what, you have to take care of the country's face, and the audience can only refrain from it.

At the beginning of the game on the court, the strength of the Iranian team has been really strong in recent years, but the Chinese men's basketball team, under the leadership of Wang Zhizhi, is obviously stronger than the Iranian team.

In the words of the CCTV commentator, the current Wang Zhizhi has become a fine.

Wang Zhizhi is not very good to describe the position he plays on the court, he may appear in any position on the field at any point in time.

In particular, the accurate basket made Iran's interior miserable.

If you pull it out to defend Wang Zhizhi, the basket is empty, and it is easy to score under the basket of the Chinese team's strong outside lineup.

There may be fans wondering, can China's ghost outside line be considered strong?

At present, because of the existence of Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng, the overall level of China's external line is really the top existence in Asia.

Wang Shipeng said that the fans' evaluation is relatively high, but Sun Yue is definitely an underrated domestic outside player.

Enough height to play in the No. 4 position, excellent speed and bounce, so that Sun Yue has a great innate advantage in the No. 2 position.

can shoot suddenly, and the defensive enthusiasm is high, because of his presence, the outside defensive intensity of the Chinese team has directly improved by more than a notch.

The current era is indeed the most fantastic era of Chinese basketball, with many talented people and outstanding players in all positions.

However, some fans also have a great sense of crisis in their hearts, because judging from the current situation of the new generation of players in China, there is no player who seems to be able to carry the banner.

This is likely to lead to a talent gap in the future of the Chinese men's basketball team.

"Pop ......" on the field, Sun Yue directly rewarded the opponent with a big hat, and the ball was grabbed by Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was still quite stable on the court, did not rush back, but controlled the ball steadily, waiting for his teammates to settle in the front court.

Outside the three-point line, Liu Wei transferred the ball to Dazhi, who passed to Datang under the basket at a tricky angle at the moment of receiving the ball, who stood on tiptoe to complete a violent dunk, which caused the audience to applaud.

It's hard to believe that a big man seven feet away can be so flexible on the court, and if you don't look at Dazhi's height, you may think that this is a small forward player who takes the all-round route.

At present, Dazhi and Datang are playing at the same time on the field, Dazhi is a big forward position, and in the previous ten games, Deng Huade has been arranged like this in many games.

Yi Dun sat on the sidelines, watching with relish, although he couldn't appear, but what does it matter, anyway, as long as the Chinese team wins.

As long as the Chinese team wins, he will not appear even for a second, and he will have no complaints.

In this game, Dazhi and Xiaoding took turns to play the position of power forward, and Datang and Zhang Zhaoxu allocated the playing time of the center position, so Yi Dun could not get playing time for the time being.

With three minutes left in the game, the Chinese team had a huge lead, and Deng Huade put Yi Dun on the field.

Yi Dun finally appeared on the stage, and the fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, they thought that Yi Dun would sit on the cold bench all the time tonight.

Although there are complaints, it is naturally impossible for fans to say it, after all, the team has won, and there is no reason to blame a winning team for not using a certain player.
