Chapter 189: Match-fixing?
On the 29th, all the members of the Chinese team were stuffed in the hotel, and in the morning news they already knew that the Chinese team had become the public enemy of all Japan, and no one dared to challenge the limit of Japanese patience.
At present, the Chinese team has won all 5 games, and the United States team is in the first place, and the game on the 30th will determine the first place in the Japan International Invitational Tournament.
For this game, the world's attention can be said to be very high, and the NBA live broadcast of the day The central five sets were also changed to the live broadcast of this game, which shows how high the expectations of the Chinese people are for this game.
For Huang Xiang's super data of 51 points, 19 rebounds, 18 assists, 16 assists and 8 blocks in the last game, China has set it as a "god's performance".
It is because of yesterday's game that Huang Xiang's status in China is more stable.
A lot of people in Japan don't want to talk about yesterday's game, for the simple reason that no one likes to reveal their scars.
At this time, the biggest highlight of yesterday's game, the Chinese men's basketball team, was taking a bath in the hotel's own Houshan Hot Spring, not to mention how comfortable it was.
"It's really cool today, and I can't be more cool." Liu Chuan just bare his upper body, lying in the hot spring, said lightly.
Everyone glanced at Liu Chuan and showed a smile of agreement, yes, it was really cool today.
"Did you hear that, the U.S. team is still training us at this time." Huang Xiang took a sip of the red wine in his hand, and then began to shake the cup arbitrarily.
"No problem, this championship, there can be no one else but us." Wang Tao also said proudly.
After listening to Wang Tao's words, everyone nodded again, champion? That's not a very difficult thing to do.
"Captain, which guy do you think is the strongest tomorrow?" Huang Zixiong said to Huang Xiang.
"To be honest, they're all very strong." After thinking for a while, Huang Xiang replied seriously.
After listening to Huang Xiang's words, everyone fell into deep thought, Huang Xiang usually doesn't take any team in his eyes, but this time he admitted that everyone in the American team is very tough, which is indeed rare.
"Boss, don't you think we can't win?" Hu Yunlong asked suspiciously.
Glancing at his team members, Huang Xiang thought of the American team members on every profile, although he didn't have a lot of hope, but he couldn't let everyone lose confidence.
"What's the matter, it's a little meaning, hehe, wait for the refueling tomorrow." Huang Xiang said lightly, but the flicker in his words was still captured by some people.
As for the U.S. team's view of the Chinese team, it is similar to the Chinese team, except that they do not believe that they may fail.
At this time, the U.S. team was starting a special training session on the basketball court on the second floor below, and no one of them complained.
"Captain, how are you preparing for tomorrow's game?" Walker walked over to Johnson and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's been ready for a long time, little meaning." Johnson put the dumbbell in his hand on the shelf and looked at Walker with a smile.
Really? Others don't think so.
The members of the US outside line led by Johnson are very worried, worried about the consequences of opposing Huang Xiang, of course, they are worried that after that, they only have the fighting spirit to soar into the sky.
On the 30th, the match between the United States team and the Chinese team came as scheduled, and the two sides came to the stadium early.
After the two sides met, they shook hands and expressed polite greetings, and today is the appearance of the championship and runner-up battle, so many people are looking forward to the next game.
"Huang Xiang, how many points do you think we will be ahead of you in today's game?" Johnson asked, holding Huang Xiang's hand, his black skin showing off his white teeth.
"Really? Don't be so happy, today's game, hehe, I hope you don't lose too badly. Huang Xiang's fluent English floated out domineering again.
The two looked at each other and smiled, punched each other in the shoulder, and got up to defend themselves.
Both sides began to warm up nervously, after all, this is the strongest opponent that both sides have encountered, and they have to pay attention.
Looking at the players who were seriously warming up, the smile on Huang Xiang's face was even worse, and slapping the basketball in his hand was a three-point shot, and the basketball hit steadily.
"Everyone cheer up, today's game is a battle for us to make a name for ourselves, and the American team has always been on the head of the Chinese team, so we can't lose anything this time." Huang Xiang shouted at his teammates beside him, holding the basketball firmly in his hands with both hands.
"Don't worry, Captain, I've been looking forward to this battle for a long time." Blowing up the muscles on his body, Liu Chuan looked at Huang Xiang confidently.
"yes, that Walker heard it's the new generation of Chris in the United States. Paul, I'm going to get to know him well. Hu Yunlong also said arrogantly.
Yes, which one is not the best of the NBA generation, but with their own strength, can they really compete with them? Everyone's hearts are full of questions, they don't know, they don't want to figure it out, and when their confidence is not very clear, this feeling is still very enjoyable.
Before the start of the game, both sides returned to the bench and waited for the final tactical deployment.
"Any thoughts?" Feng Delun looked at everyone and asked.
"What's the matter, just defeat them." Hu Yunlong said with a smile.
After Hu Yunlong finished speaking, everyone else also responded to his call and nodded yes.
Feng Delun and Zhang Guijiang glanced at each other, and then stared at everyone for a few seconds, as if they had made some painful decision.
"Today, our mission is to ...... Huang Xiang, don't be too obsessed with attacking, assist your teammates a lot, even if you lose, you don't care, after all, we will enter the finals and play again with the American team in this game, so this time we mainly study the appropriate tactics, not necessarily to win. Feng Delun looked at everyone and said solemnly.
What the? Everyone looked at the coach in disbelief, is this true? How can a coach who has always been good at winning say that?
"Coach, what does that mean?" Huang Xiang stood up and yelled at Feng Delun.
"Huang Xiang, you sit down first." Zhang Guijiang said to Huang Xiang.
"Give me an answer, did you collect black money and want to play match-fixing?" Huang Xiang looked at Feng Delun angrily, his eyes full of anger.
After listening to Huang Xiang's words, the others also stared angrily, not understanding why there was such a request.
Seeing that Feng Delun, who was extremely excited, was not angry, he smiled, and pulled Huang Xiang to his side and sat down.
"Don't worry, it's actually quite simple. Didn't I say it, this game is mainly about studying tactics, except for Huang Xiang, everyone else can do their best, of course, it's better to win this way, and it doesn't matter if you lose, after all, the official game between the two sides is still the one in the finals, do you understand? Feng Delun looked at everyone gently, and slowly explained to everyone like a father.
This time, everyone's excitement slowly eased, and Huang Xiang was no longer angry, but he was still a little dissatisfied with the coach's request, after all, he had been looking forward to this game for a long time.
"Coach, but, but, I don't want to fail." Huang Xiang looked at Feng Delun with dim eyes, puzzled, aggrieved, and angry......
"I understand your feelings, but, for the sake of the overall situation, Huang Xiang, you really can't go all out this time." Feng Delun resolutely rejected Huang Xiang's opinion and insisted on his own tactics.
"Okay, then I won't play in this game." After speaking, Huang Xiang turned around and walked to the locker room.
What the? All the team members looked at Huang Xiang in surprise again, the captain played too much this time, how can I say that it is not a good thing to offend the coach.
And Zhang Guijiang smiled proudly at Feng Delun, what does it mean, I knew that this guy would come here.
"Alas" Feng Delun sighed, then glanced at Zhang Guijiang with a wry smile, and motioned to your old man to hurry up.
Zhang Guijiang also got up and followed Huang Xiang to the locker room, and everyone on the scene, even the members of the American team, couldn't help but look in the direction of the locker room.
"What does this mean? Is there any discomfort in Huang Xiang? Johnson looked at Huang Xiang's back in confusion.
Many Chinese fans at the scene were very nervous, after all, many people came for Huang Xiang, and if something happened to Huang Xiang today, it would be quite bad.
Two minutes later, the game began, and Huang Xiang still did not return to the court.
Let's take a look at the lineups of both sides.
Chinese team: Hu Yunlong, Wang Tao, Liu Chuan, Miao Zizhu, Ding Han.
Huang Xiang did not appear in the starting lineup, which made many people stunned, where is this super genius at this time?
Team USA: Walker, Johnson, Jones, Perry, Browns.
The two sides walked to the middle of the court to stand in each other's positions, and Ding Han and Minas walked to the midfield position to prepare to jump the ball.
"Hey, why didn't you perverted guy come?" Zunas looked at Ding Han coldly and said jokingly.
"What are you talking about? Babble." Ding Han, who basically couldn't understand English, didn't understand the words of Minas at all.
He slapped his forehead and glanced at Ding Han depressedly, is this guy a college student? Why is the English language so poor?
At the beginning of the game, the referee threw the ball high, and Ding Han and Naas jumped at the same time, this time, Ding Han realized what a real center is, and the basketball was directly dialed to Walker.
Walker slowly slapped the basketball in his hand, and rushed over in the face of Hu Yunlong's defensive feet with two consecutive false shakings, Hu Yunlong could only secretly sigh helplessly.
Team America's point guard sure enough; Awesome, I can't prevent him at all, where is the boss? Why should I deal with this guy?
After that, Hu Yunlong Walker threw the ball into the interior with a backhand and handed it to Minas, who caught it steadily.
After receiving the ball, Nas stepped back, raised his hand, and faced Ding Han's defense, which was a steady shot.
The high shooting angle of "Huh" failed to give Ding Han a chance to defend at all, and the basketball brushed the net.
It's amazing, Feng Delun looked at the American team players who were high-fived and celebrated, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that the Chinese team without Huang Xiang is not the opponent of the other party at all.
Hu Yunlong also saw the strength of the opponent, and after dribbling the ball through the half, he steadily dribbled the ball in his hand, watching Walker not dare to be careless at all, and the rhythm was instantly suppressed between his hands and feet, and his sense of rhythm was also surprising.
There was no way, in the end, Hu Yunlong still handed the ball to Liu Chuan, and he couldn't guarantee to pass the opponent at all.
After receiving the ball, Liu Chuan habitually took a step back and prepared to attack.
(Today's three watches, top up, hehe, Shark's new book is still in preparation, kung fu basketball will rise to a height, I hope you will support a lot.) )
