In Asia, the Chinese men's basketball team is still a top existence, and China has participated in the previous Olympic Games. And this year, judging by the forecasts, it is clear that it is no exception. The Chinese men's basketball team, which has a number of NBA players and NBA champion coaches, is unstoppable, and the other participating teams seem to be more like supporting roles.

There are a total of 16 teams in this year's Asian Championships, and according to the format of the Asian Championships, the 16 teams are divided into four groups, while China is in Group C, and the opponents in the same group are South Korea, Singapore and Jordan. In terms of the strength of the teams in this year's Asian Championships, Iran and China are the strongest, followed by South Korea, the Philippines and Japan. And this group is not bad for China, at least in the group points stage, China does not have to meet Iran.

The three group stage matches took place on the 23rd, 24th and 25th, against Singapore, South Korea and Jordan.

The Singapore men's basketball team is absolutely at the bottom of Asia, the overall height of the team is too low, and China has an absolute advantage in the height of the lineup. The performance of the Chinese team in the first game was amazing, the team's smooth offensive coordination and defensive cohesion have never appeared, especially the point guard Guo Allen and a group of outside players played the characteristics that each position should have, which made everyone marvel that in just half a month, a group of players actually had a reborn performance. In this game, the main players only played for about 20 minutes, while the rest of the time Chu Xuan practiced the substitute lineup on the field. Even so, the Chinese team still won a big victory, beating the Singapore men's basketball team by 62 points 104:42. In this game, Zhang Yang made 6 three-pointers and contributed a total of 22 points, and Yi Jianlian scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks in 22 minutes and was elected the best player.

The first game highlighted the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the second game against South Korea did not seem to be particularly suspenseful. The South Korean men's basketball team, which originally thought that it was expected to threaten the Chinese men's basketball team, also appeared to be vulnerable. However, the South Korean team is a strong team in Asia after all, and this is a good opportunity to practice. Chu Xuan paid a certain amount of attention to this ball, he arranged a variety of tactics, and let the main players play for nearly 30 minutes, it can be said that the Chinese team used almost most of its strength to play South Korea. In this way, the Chinese team relied on the players to fully blossom and won by 26 points at 94:68. Allen Guo scored 21 points, 8 assists and 5 steals, becoming the best player of the game.

The game was played in South Korea, and Lim Yuna naturally watched the game from the sidelines. Seeing Lin Yun'er again, Chu Xuan's heart had a special emotional fluctuation, which he couldn't tell. Lin Yuna broke up with her boyfriend Lee Seung-gi after returning from the United States last time, and the reason for this makes people can't help but speculate. However, after being single, Lin Yuna has not had any emotional scandals with anyone, and it is rumored that she is ready to quit the group and take a break for 2~3 years. Lin Yuna's matter has attracted great attention from the Korean entertainment media, and everyone is curious about why she made such a decision, knowing that she is so young. As the saying goes, there must be a reason for everything, so finding out Lin Yuner has become one of the biggest tasks of the paparazzi. In this meeting, Chu Xuan and Lin Yun'er didn't communicate much, the two of them just exchanged a greeting like friends, and then there was no follow-up. Chu Xuan was surprised by Lin Yun'er's indifference, which made him feel that a woman's heart was really complicated. For the paparazzi and the Korean media, Chu Xuan and Lin Yuna are not the objects of their speculation, because Chu Xuan's proposal in front of fans all over the world has been well known to everyone, and a Chinese with a fiancée, under the deep-rooted traditional thinking, seems to have no scandals.

After the trip to South Korea, Chu Xuan took the Chinese team back to China to face the last opponent in the group stage, the Jordan team. The Jordanian men's basketball team has always been a good team, but this grouping is not very favorable to it, and after losing to South Korea in the first game on the 23rd, the Jordanian team is almost impossible to qualify. Because no one is optimistic that it will be able to beat the Chinese team. In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team also showed a certain strength, establishing a 20-point lead in the first half. Then into the second half, Chu Xuan changed to a small lineup with amazing projection ability, which was his first attempt, and the result was quite successful, and finally the Chinese team defeated Jordan 105:71 by 34 points! Yi Jianlian once again played the style of a brother, with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks. And Zhou Qi, who played for Georgetown University in the NCAA last year, played a good game, contributing 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 blocks in 13 minutes of playing time, which began to attract a lot of attention from draft websites.

Speaking of Zhou Qi, we have to mention that he joined Georgetown University last year, which is an excellent opportunity for him to grow. Although in the first season, Zhou Qi was only used as a substitute, but his ability was still affirmed. In this year's Crazy March, Zhou Qi had an excellent performance of 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks as a substitute. Although it was only a one-time incident, Georgetown University, with its tradition of center, has already expressed its expectations for him. Head coach John Thompson III said he would give Zhou Qi more time in his second season, which is a very good sign.

Won 122 points in three games, with an average of 40.7 points per game, the dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia was fully revealed, and Chu Xuan's prestige was even greater, everyone knew that the Chinese men's basketball team was about to take off, and in the next 10 years, it would be the golden age of Chinese basketball.

With the first place in Group C, the Chinese team became one of the top 8.

This was followed by Group E and Group F matches, with a schedule of three days on the 27th, 28th and 29th, and the three opponents of the Chinese team were Kazakhstan, Lebanon and Qatar. Naturally, these three teams could not pose any threat to the Chinese team, and in the end, the Chinese men's basketball team also ended with three big wins and started the best qualifying match.

Qualifying is a great test for China, as Iran and South Korea are in the same group, which means that China will likely play against Iran. And sure enough, after beating India by 70 points, the Chinese team faced Iran, which defeated the South Korean team in the semifinals.

Iran has always been regarded as the best team in Asia besides China, and even surpassed China at one point. In this Asian Championships, the biggest potential opponent of the Chinese team is the Iranian team. When the two teams meet this time, it is natural that there will be a big battle. Experts in the Asian Championships column have collected articles to predict and report on this game, and many people feel that the Iranian team still has the possibility of defeating the Chinese team led by Chu Xuan, thus burying the Chinese men's basketball team's dream of playing in the Rio Olympics next year.

However, Chu Xuan told everyone who had this kind of thought, what a ridiculous idea it was.

"There is no doubt that the Chinese team will win. If I lose, I don't think I need to go back to the Lakers for coaching. ”

Confident and slightly rampant.

Such a sentence set the atmosphere of the game, and the Iranian team felt underestimated, and they played the game with the smell of gunpowder.

However, the gap in strength cannot be filled after all, and Chu Xuan told the Iranian team what NBA-level coaching and playing style are.

In this game, Chu Xuan imitated the Warriors' small-ball style and let Yi Jianlian, who has long-range shooting ability, play as the No. 5 position. It was a very successful game, and the Chinese team defeated Iran by 33 points 113-80, showing terrifying strength. ESPN reported on the ball, and a group of experts showed a strong interest in Chu Xuan's small-ball tactics, and the Warriors head coach was even more surprised, saying that Chu Xuan actually mastered the essence of the ball, which he did not expect, and he wanted to watch the ball to learn. It was as if Chu Xuan's ability had been affirmed again, and no one knew how much basketball-related stuff he had in his head.

In the big win over the Iranian team, Zhang Yang, Sun Yue, He Tianju and Zhu Fangyu showed the style of outside shooters, and the four scored 17 points, 14 points, 12 points and 12 points respectively. The four contributed more than half of the team's firepower, which no one expected before the game. Under the full flowering of the outside line, Guo Allen also benefited greatly, he handed out 15 assists, which has never been seen in his playing career.

Because of the limitation of tactics, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin did not get much playing time, but in the limited playing time, the two still played very well, and everyone could see the improvement from them.

Final!

The opponent is the Philippine team, and if the Chinese team wins, then it will be the champion of this Asian Championship, and will also have a ticket to the Rio Olympics and become a team participating in the Olympic men's basketball.

In this game, Chu Xuan made a change of formation, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and Yi Jianlian appeared in the starting line at the same time, in addition to Guo Allen and Zhang Yang.

This kind of arrangement is clear at a glance, this is an imitation of the Lakers' style of play, and it is also what Chu Xuan is best at.

In this way, there is naturally no suspense in the result of the game, and the Chinese team defeated the Philippines with a score of 100:59. Zhou Qi scored 14 points, 16 boards and 8 blocks, Wang Zhelin had 12 points, 12 boards and 4 assists, Yi Jianlian had 20 points and 10 boards, Zhang Yang had 27 points, and Guo Allen had 11 points and 10 assists.

After winning the championship, Chu Xuan's task is over, and the Chinese team successfully enters Rio.

After the Asian Championships ended, countless praises were also shrouded in the head of the Chinese team, and the media from all over the world expressed their attention and expectations for the Chinese team. You must know that in this Asian Championships, China's average winning points per game reached a terrifying 42.8 points. And the fewest wins was 26 points against South Korea in the group stage, what a horrible record? ESPN spoke highly of Chu Xuan: "The only one who can turn an Asian powerhouse into an Asian dream team is Chu Xuan, and this guy will become the most amazing head coach." Maybe next year's Rio Olympics, we can see the Chinese Dream Team reach the semi-finals. ”

Absolute strength, excellent performance, and devastating dominance, it seems that the Chinese Dream Team is indeed worthy of its name. (To be continued.) )
