Chapter 258 - Winning the Asian Championships
After Director Guo's announcement, the atmosphere of the entire Chinese men's basketball team has changed, but the atmosphere of talking and laughing has directly become solemn, and the training attitude has also changed a lot, and everyone is very serious.
After seeing this, Li Yao also had to admire Da Yao's set, not only kicked Zhu Fangyu, who was unhappy with him, out of the team, but also played an example for the other players, but also mobilized the enthusiasm of the remaining players, because no one wants to be the second person to be kicked out of the national team, and no one knows the importance of the national team members to them better than them, so under the threat of quitting the team, the remaining players are unprecedentedly focused on training. No one dares to do it as casually as before.
Even Da Yao nodded with satisfaction on the side, to be honest, in fact, he had long been dissatisfied with some members of the team, so when Li Yao proposed a substitution in anger, Da Yao was moved, and now he is taking this opportunity to drive him out of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In fact, Zhu Fangyu is not the only candidate in Da Yao's heart, but who would have thought that only Zhu Fangyu stood up today, which made Da Yao feel a little happy in distress.
Anyway, the matter within the Chinese men's basketball team has finally come to an end.
In the afternoon of the same day, when the Chinese men's basketball team faced Li Yao's friend again, the competitive state it showed surprised everyone, and yesterday's Chinese men's basketball team was not in such a state.
Not to mention Li Yao's group of friends, even Li Yao himself was frightened by the super high competitive state of his teammates.
In today's game, Li Yao also relaxed after seeing the competitive state of his teammates, and began to mobilize other teammates as much as possible in addition to attacking, and finally the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Li Yao's friends again in this game, but it is worth mentioning that the difference between the two sides in this game is not large.
After the end of this training game, the members of the Chinese men's national basketball team were also the first to take the plane back to China, while Li Yao stayed, after all, the summer league is about to start, he not only has to compete in the summer league, but also have to train with his teammates in advance to run-in.
After the end of the summer league from July 11th to July 20th, Li Yao rushed back to China non-stop and joined the Chinese men's basketball team.
On August 6, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in their first game of the Asian Championships, and the opponent was the Indian men's basketball team.
You must know that the contradictions between China and India have always existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since they repeatedly violated China's territory in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and vainly attempted to become independent in the west, which made Li Yao's impression of this country very unfriendly.
Originally, Li Yao actually didn't plan to play when facing such a weak team, but when he learned that the opponent was India, Li Yao abandoned this idea and directly asked for his life to go on the expedition.
Coach Guo and Da Yao are still very puzzled by Li Yao's request, in their opinion, Li Yao has no need to waste his physical strength like this, isn't it just an India, the Chinese men's basketball team is not winning in minutes.
When Li Yao told the two of them his thoughts, Director Guo and Da Yao finally understood, Li Yao had already said so, what reason did they have to stop Li Yao?
So in the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team against the Indian men's basketball team, Li Yao appeared as the starting point guard.
You must know that the influence of the men's Asian Basketball Championship held in Tianjin in China is still very huge, and the tickets are also very popular, but only this game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Indian men's basketball team is far less popular than other tickets, because everyone thinks that players of Li Yao's level should not appear in this game, so the popularity is definitely far less than other games.
The Indian men's basketball team is also confused, they originally came to the Asian Championships to mix up the scene, so they didn't think about who they could win at all, as long as they didn't lose too badly.
But who would have thought that the Chinese men's basketball team actually sent their strongest scorer, Li Yao, to them, and they suddenly had a bad premonition.
And their hunch is so correct, as soon as the game began, Li Yao directly turned on the crazy state of the day, and slashed the Indian men's basketball team like a god without fighting back.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team led the Indian men's basketball team by as many as 43 points at 47-4, especially the starting point guard of the Indian men's basketball team who was opposite Li Yao, and his expression was almost crying at this time.
Just when everyone thought that Li Yao should clock out of work in this situation, at the beginning of the second quarter, Li Yao returned to the court again and continued his journey of slaughter.
When the game ended, the entire basketball arena was stunned, and all eyes were glued to the huge scoreboard.
137-24!
The Chinese men's basketball team actually beat the Indian men's basketball team 137-24 on its home court by 113 points, which also created the largest point difference in the men's Asian Basketball Championship since the start of the tournament.
Looking at all the members of the Indian men's basketball team sitting on the floor, the audience couldn't help but choose to observe a 0.5 second of silence for them.
In this game, driven by Li Yao, the Chinese men's basketball team finally swept the Indian men's basketball team with a crazy 10-man score.
After the end of this game, on August 7, the Chinese men's basketball team once again ushered in its second opponent, the Kazakhstan men's basketball team, Li Yao did not choose to play in this game, but the Chinese men's basketball team still easily won the game 94-56.
On August 8, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Qatar men's basketball team 92-61 again.
On August 10, after a day of rest, the Chinese men's basketball team won the UAE men's basketball team 87-51.
On August 11, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Lebanese men's basketball team 104-68 under the leadership of Li Yao.
On August 12, the Chinese men's basketball team won the Jordan men's basketball team 106-74.
On August 14, the Chinese men's basketball team faced Chinese Taipei, and in this game, Li Yao once again scored 53 points and led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the game 127-64.
After the game, Da Yao and Guo Gui couldn't help but ask Li Yao, you must know that in all the previous games, except for the time against the Indian men's basketball team, Li Yao broke out, and in the rest of the games, Li Yao almost didn't participate in the offense, more in tandem with his teammates.
So they are very curious about why Li Yao will break out again when facing his own compatriots.
"I just want to tell them a truth, that is, there is only one China, what bullshit Chinese Taipei team, when will a provincial team be able to participate in this kind of national competition? In the future, as long as it is an international tournament in basketball, they will participate in it once, and when they meet me, I will slaughter them once until the name of the provincial team of Chinese Taipei does not appear on the international stage. Li Yao said with a serious face, when he heard the name of the Chinese Taipei team, the whole person was not good, when will the provincial team be able to participate in the national competition?
Li Yao, who was furious, made up his mind to teach this provincial team a good lesson in this game, and let them know that a provincial team should not think too much all day long, otherwise they will definitely see a lesson in the future.
After hearing Li Yao's explanation, Da Yao and Guo Gui glanced at each other, and they understood that Li Yao, the young captain, was not ordinary and serious, it was simply at the level of an angry youth.
After they looked at each other, they couldn't help but mourn for the Iranian men's basketball team for a second, they clearly remembered the provocation from Haddadi after the Iranian men's basketball team won the men's Asian Championship last year, and they still remembered that during the Beijing Olympics, Li Yao had complained more than once that he could not play against the Iranian men's basketball team, otherwise he would have to teach them to be people.
After defeating the provincial team strongly, on the night of August 15, the Chinese men's basketball team once again faced the old acquaintance Lebanese men's basketball team in the semifinals.
In this matchup, the Chinese men's basketball team still did not give the opponent the slightest chance under the leadership of Li Yao, and the rhythm of the whole court was completely controlled by the Chinese men's basketball team, and finally the Chinese men's basketball team won the semifinals 107-82 and successfully advanced to the finals and the Iranian men's basketball team.
At 9 o'clock on the night of August 16, the finals of this year's men's Asian Basketball Championship finally started.
The Chinese men's basketball team, under the leadership of Li Yao, firmly controls the rhythm of the game, and the point guard of the Iranian men's basketball team is completely restricted by Li Yao in the opposite position with Li Yao, and the Iranian men's basketball team at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has been greatly troubled.
Although their star Haddadi took the initiative to stand up when the team was in trouble, but he was forcibly restrained by the space Yi who was bent on revenge, and the space Yi who broke out with unprecedented power told Haddadi what is called Chinese power, under the mobilization of Li Yao, Space Yi also exploded at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and was still clamoring for Haddadi to defend the men's Asian Basketball Championship before the game.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team won the final victory of the men's Asian Basketball Championship 97-74, and the successful revenge was successful, and it returned to the top of Asia again.
"How can we talk about revenge if we just get back what we left behind? Who in Asia is worthy of letting our Chinese men's basketball team bear the name of revenge? After winning the championship, Li Yao said domineeringly when facing an interview with reporters.
And when Li Yao's post-match interview was reported, all Chinese fans were excited, what is domineering? Our Chinese men's basketball team is not here for revenge at all, we just pick up the championship that we forgot here the year before last.
Suddenly, Li Yao's name once again spread throughout the land of China.
