After the 2017-18 NBA season, the 2018 Men's Basketball Asian Cup rematch, the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup Qualifying Tournament, and the Tokyo Men's Basketball Olympic Trials are about to begin! Due to the importance of this event, all Asian countries sent their strongest teams to participate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the Asian Cup first has to be a qualifying round, in the case of not being difficult to qualify, the Chinese men's basketball team only sent players such as Yi Jianlian to participate, and did not send a few Chinese players to play in the NBA, and the Chinese men's basketball team also advanced to the semi-finals as the first in the group.

There are 12 teams in the semi-finals of this Asian Cup, and it is worth mentioning that Australia and New Zealand have also joined the Asian quota for the first time to participate in the rematch of this Asian Cup, and finally 12 teams will decide 7 places to participate in the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup held in China with 32 teams!

Being able to represent the Chinese national team in the Asian Cup is undoubtedly the greatest honor for young people like Ye Hai, Che Yicheng, Xu Zhibin, and Liu Hao! And back to the national team, Ye Hai was surprised to find that the head coach of the national team turned out to be Zhang Hong, his head coach in the national youth team!

Under Zhang Hong's tutelage, the national team, which has been training for one and a half months, officially started the journey of the men's basketball Asian Cup!

The list of players for the country is as follows, with a large number of young but capable players, including the Four Tigers of China (the title given by Chinese fans in this playoffs) who are playing in the NBA:

Center: Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Rui Zhiwei

Power forward: Xu Zhibin,

Small forwards: Ye Hai, Liu Peng, Zhou Peng

Scoring guards: Liu Hao, Guo Allen, Liaoyuan

Organizational defenders: Che Yicheng, Zhao Jiwei

Before the game, Zhang Hong first clarified the team's starting list:

Center: Yi Jianlian, 2.13m;

Power forward: Xu Zhibin, 2.08m;

Small forward: Ye Hai, 2.01m;

Shooting guard: Liu Hao, 1.98m;

Organizational defender: Cha Yicheng, 1.91m.

In the semi-final grouping, the Chinese team is not bad in the group, avoiding Australia, the strongest team in this Asian Cup, and Iran, the old rival of the Chinese national team, and only South Korea, New Zealand and Jordan are likely to pose a threat to China in the same group.

Group A:

China, South Korea, New Zealand, Jordan, Qatar, Oman.

Group B:

Australia, Iran, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates.

In the first game, China faced the weakest Oman team in this group, the starters of the Chinese team only played the first quarter and did not play again, and the game became the performance of Rui Zhiwei, who played the longest time in the game and was about to join the NBA, and he proved his strength to the Rockets with a score of 28 points and 16 rebounds. China defeated Oman with a score of 118-45.

In the second game, the Chinese team faced a relatively strong Qatar, but the Chinese team still did not encounter any resistance, the players played very relaxed, and various cooperation and counterattacks emerged in an endless stream, and once again defeated the opponent with a 115-54 breakthrough.

In the third game, China faced Jordan, Jordan has increased its strength after naturalizing several American players, and has become a frequent visitor to various major competitions in Asian basketball, but this game is not as Chinese reporters imagined, the game is still one-sided, Liu Hao hit 5 three-pointers in the opening game, which scared Yi Jianlian! At 120-77, Jordan's score was much stronger than the first two teams, but there was nothing they could do about the Chinese team's offense.

In the fourth game, China met New Zealand, an Oceanian team participating in the Asian Cup for the first time, and the players of the New Zealand team had hoped to rely on the strong bodies of the Oceanian players to create difficulties for the Chinese team, because they heard from their next-door neighbors, the Australian team, that the Chinese players were particularly afraid of physical confrontation and full-court pressing tactics. Who knows the first offense of the opening, they were shocked by the Chinese team's low attack under the basket with a big forward with a beard, when their starting big forward was bounced away by a turn of Xu Zhibin, Xu Zhibin immediately dedicated a basket with strong hands to the basket, and after the goal, he glared angrily at the New Zealand center who was ready to make up the defense, this powerful aura made the players of the New Zealand team tremble!

Is this really the Chinese team that Australia describes? With this question, the New Zealand team suffered the biggest defeat in this Asian Cup, losing to the Chinese team with a score of 72-109!

In the fifth game of the group stage, China faced the second seed South Korea team in the group stage, all the media thought that this game would be the most important battle for the Chinese team in the group stage, Yi Jianlian was even a little nervous before the game, but when it came to the game, Yi Jianlian was completely surprised!

Ye Hai almost single-handedly completely destroyed the defense of the South Korean team with offense, Che Yicheng's sharp breakthrough and assist, Liu Hao's three-point shot, Xu Zhibin's strong attack and rebound, plus Yi Jianlian's long-range shot, this game of the Chinese team is like the American team playing the Copa America! 103-71, the Chinese team swept South Korea with a 32-point advantage, and the first place in the group qualified strongly!

And on the sidelines of this game, Ye Hai once again met Kim Naxian, who had never forgotten in his heart, and from the statement of her friend Hong Yizhen, Ye Hai knew that the scandal between Kim Naxian and TOP was just hype. At this time, Ye Hai and Danielle have broken up for almost 2 months, and when they meet Kim Na-hyun again, Ye Hai and the other party no longer suppress the team's emotions for each other! But because Ye Hai is in the Asian Cup, although the two are in love, they still haven't crossed the last thunder pool, especially when Kim Naxian said that she hasn't had that kind of experience, which makes Ye Hai feel that the first time between the two can't be hasty!

At this time, Kim Na-hyun's SONAMOO group has become a new force in the Asian women's group, and Kim Na-hyun has also become a well-known female star in South Korea and even in China.

To get back to the point, judging from the situation in the group stage, the basketball level of the Chinese team has far surpassed that of South Korea, Jordan and other countries, which are also Asian countries!

After five rounds of the group stage, the qualifying rankings and knockout matches of the two groups are as follows:

China(A1)--Philippines(B4)

South Korea (A2) – Iran (B3)

New Zealand (A3) – Japan (B2)

Jordan (A4) – Australia (B1)

China VS Philippines:

In the first game of the knockout round, the Chinese team faced the Philippine team, without giving the other party any face, the Chinese team abused the opponent on the court, even if the opponent had a naturalized player Bletcher, but the Chinese team used Xu Zhibin to defend, which limited Blecher's play very well, and in addition to Bleccher, the other players of the Philippine team had almost no threat, and for some reasons, the players of the Chinese team did not have any retention on the court, 134-42, the Chinese team almost achieved a sensational record of a net score of more than 100!
