071 Youngsters
The young Chinese team.
But after all, it was the youth of the Chinese team that reversed the 16-point deficit and defeated the Iranian men's basketball team.
Reclaiming Asia's hegemon? It's too early to tell.
But the Asian Games champion is enough for this group of young people to celebrate tonight!

Ding Yan Yuhang.
The CBA's four-word foreign aid restricts Iran's sharp knife Bahrami.
Ding Yanyuhang gave up his sharpest attack in this game, and devoted all his energy to watching and defending Bahrami. may be the head coach of the red team, and the words of Li Nan, the "Little Li Flying Knife" of the year, stimulated him. When he fell behind by 16 points, Coach Li Nan called a timeout, and Coach Li Nan, who has always been able to get along with the players, really reprimanded for the first time since this game - even if the first game with the Philippines was overtaken by the opponent, his pause conversation was mainly based on patience and encouragement - but this time Xiao Li Feidao really pierced the heart: "Be tough, the defense is up to the end, and it doesn't matter if the offense is covered, it just has to be tough." Can you prove it to me, who is a soft egg, and who can be hard?! ”
After training the whole team members, Coach Li Nan called Ding Yanyuhang alone, and his ears were killed. He used a trick to provoke the general, and said to Ding Yanyuhang: "Can you prevent him?" Coach Li Nan pointed to Bahrami's back and asked, "Don't you want to enter the NBA, Xiaoding?" You know, he's the strongest striker in Asia, and he's only gone to Europe. If you still have the luxury of setting foot on American soil, you must at least beat him today—"
As soon as these words came out, Ding Yan Yuhang's eyes that were originally wet Liuhai became more gloomy and terrifying, and a trace of blood-colored red light faintly revealed. Sure enough, when the game restarted, he stuck to Bahrami as soon as possible, and until the last second of the game, he never separated!
Bahrami finally took advantage of the front and back of his inner partner Haddadi's two off-ball covers, just stuck Ding Yanyuhang behind him, ran out of a half-meter gap, received a pass from his teammates and turned around and was about to shoot directly, but found that Ding Yanyuhang had quietly eaten this half-meter gap like a ghost, and his only shooting opportunity. Bahrami changed his shot to a dribble breakthrough, but Ding Yanyuhang would rather pay for the foul than let go of Bahrami's step, and the attack was interrupted.
Although Ding Yanyuhang paid for a foul, he had the upper hand in Bahrami's defensive tug-of-war. The opponent's attack did not succeed, and his mentality and physical strength were reduced, and Xiao Ding's momentum became more and more vigorous. The more momentum he has, the tighter he sticks to it, and the more aggressive his defensive moves become, which makes the "old" Bahrami more and more breathless. Ding Yanyuhang clamped Bahrami tightly, the latter barely scored in the second half, and the Iranian team could only rely on Haddadi to move forward on one leg!

But one of the legs of the Iranian team Haddadi was also tied to two weight-bearing sandbags of Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin. Haddadi is really the last hope of the Iranian team, the super pillar of the interior line, he opened the open hanging mode after he had contacts with Zhou Qi at the beginning, and constantly relied on his body and experience to beat the basket.
As a junior who has played against Zhou Qi for many years in the CBA arena, Haddadi almost completely understands Zhou Qi's defense. Zhou Qi is tall and has long arms, covers a large area, and has an amazing bullet speed, and can often come first after the second. However, his body is thin and his ability to fight is weak, and he can often play more role as a co-defender than as a first defender. But Haddadi also knows this, almost as soon as he has a one-on-one chance for Zhou Qi, he will take the initiative to ask for the ball to play alone, in order to directly target the opponent's weaknesses and not give any chance to assist in defense.
Haddadi played Zhou Qi, completely relying on his weight and experience, and he could occupy an absolute advantage with just a few feints, shaking Zhou Qi to a lot of meat, so that he could stuff the ball into the basket without hurry.
But there is only one Haddadi in the Iranian team after all!
Zhou Qi suffered a loss, and the Chinese team could put Wang Zhelin on top. But Haddadi was tired of fighting, and the Iranian team had no one to replace at all. And when Bahrami was restrained by Ding Yanyuhang, and the Iranian team could only bet on Haddadi, they became more and more timid.
Here's the chance for the Chinese team!
But no one expected that the people who stood up first were not Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang, let alone Yang Yiming, a member of the NBA's new championship.
It's Fang Shuo and Abdul Salamu!
Although Fang Shuo has grown extremely fast in the CBA, he has hardly caught any opportunities to play in the previous Sino-US confrontation match where the red and blue teams merged. In this Asian Games, he has been tepid, but Dong Hanlin in the same position has had several highlight performances, and there have been many discussion posts on the Internet, only talking about Dong Hanlin's overall situation and ball control skills, and some fans directly sent the name of "China Kidd".
But when he was not optimistic at all, Coach Li Nan sent Shang Shuo at the end of the first quarter, and the latter returned the favor and immediately broke through and scored 2 points. The Iranian team relied on the advantage of rebounding, coupled with the continuous mistakes of the Chinese team, and set off a wave of 7-3 to stretch the difference to 7 points. 18-25 in the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team always trailed by 7 points and entered the second quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Haddadi exploded and scored 6 points, plus a three-pointer from inside and outside, and the Iranian team extended its lead to a game-high 16 points. It was this 16 points, Coach Li Nan called a timeout, and after the pause, Fang Shuo's shots hit one after another, sounding the horn of the Chinese team's counterattack!
Fang Shuo hit a mid-range shot in his own vacancy, and then attracted the opponent to stare at the fire force, and assisted Zhou Qi in a row (Fang Shuo's 8 assists were the highest in the team in this game), the latter first won the air relay, and the second ball was repeated, even if the opponent paid for the foul, Zhou Qi still made up the basketball when he fell. Zhou Qi's penalty also came, and the Chinese team chased the difference to single digits with 7-0.
At this moment, the lineup of the Chinese team on the field is Zhou Qi, Zhao Rui, Fang Shuo, Liu Zhixuan, and Abdul Salamu.
Coach Li Nan has not used Yang Yiming so far, obviously wanting to refer to the Sino-US match, use him as the ultimate weapon, and save it for the final to give the Iranian team a fatal blow.
But it is imminent, this lineup on the field, in addition to the strange soldier Fang Shuo, someone has to stand up first and continue to narrow the gap for the Chinese team...
Abdul Salamu!
He gave Iran a big hat to a layup, then turned around and threw in a three-pointer. The Iranian team is also cunning, seeing that this Xinjiang guy has a touch, attacking against attacking, Bahrami and another defender specifically found him to do a two-on-one blocking and dismantling cooperation. didn't expect the Xinjiang guy Abdul Salamu to start faster, and Bahrami's jump pass was directly seen through by him, truncated, and a dragon layup!
Bahrami, who was already unprepared by Ding Yanyuhang, saw that the pass was still wrong in the hands of the white-faced youngster, and he didn't think about it in the offensive round, and directly threw out a three-point shot. The three-point basket came out, Zhou Qi protected, Liu Zhixuan grabbed the defensive rebound, Fang Shuo dribbled and advanced, Abdul Salamu ran in advance and fell into the bottom corner vacancy, and then opened his hand to shoot the basketball -
Another three-pointer, hollow hit!
One person scored 8 points in a row, and in less than half a quarter, the Chinese team was only 1 point behind Iran in the blink of an eye!
