Taking advantage of the home field, being able to defeat the strong Chinese team and lift the championship trophy will definitely be a big event for the whole of the Philippines. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 So the players of the Philippine team, including their fans, are looking forward to this match.

On the night of the game, the MOA Stadium in Manila was lit up as the final of the 2013 Manila Men's Asian Men's Basketball Championship was to be staged. In order to help the host country, the scene can be described as star-studded. Jose, a well-known artist in the Philippine entertainment industry? Pascal, K.C. Compsecion, Kim? Domingo and the others sat on the sidelines. What made the audience even more boiling was that the national hero boxing champion Pacquiao also came to the scene to cheer for the Philippines.

Filipinos are arguably one of the most sporty countries in Asia, cheering for Pacquiao knocking out opponents time and time again, as well as applauding the scoring spree of their own players in the PBA. Of course, as long as it is involved in national honor, it is enough to make the Philippines go crazy from politicians to civilians.

……

In the face of the Philippine team's favorable time, place and people, the Chinese team is not easy to play this game. Although the overall strength of the Philippines is slightly inferior to that of the Chinese team and the Iranian team, no one can know what kind of energy they can burst out of the home game.

In an interview with Chinese media before the game, Giannakis mentioned the tone of the game, saying: "We will start this game with the word steady, they are now thinking about how to eat us in one bite, this is their home stadium, there will be a lot of Filipino spectators on the spot, they have everything to do, we have to play steadily at this time." ”

The starting five of the Chinese team: point guard Guo Allen, scoring guard Wang Shipeng, small forward Sun Xiaotian, power forward Yi Jianlian and center Wang Zhelin.

Giannakis put Sun Yue, who had performed well before, on the bench, mainly to absorb the problem of poor ball operation of the substitutes in the last game against Iran, and of course, to increase the thickness of the bench lineup.

Sending Wang Shipeng is more out of experience and the threat of outside shooting, although Wang Shipeng's three-point shooting rate in this Asian Championships is only 31%, but the shooter is like this, and the feel needs to be fed by the ball. In addition, with Sun Xiaotian and Yi Jianlian, two super points on the court, the Chinese team will definitely have many opportunities to shoot in the open position, and Wang Shipeng must seize the opportunity at that time.

To say that the only bad thing about the Chinese team's lineup is the height of the lineup, especially the inside, the average height of the Philippine team is much lower than that of the Chinese team, but their movement speed is very fast, which will also test the movement ability of the Chinese team players.

The head coach of the Philippine team is Vincent Reyes, who is an extremely emotional coach. In the first stage of the match, the Philippines "unexpectedly" lost to the Chinese Taibei team, at least that's what they thought. In this game, almost the whole game, Vincent was in an extremely high mood, in the last moments of the game, the backward Philippine team had an inexplicable foul, and sent Lin Zhijie to the free throw line again, when he saw the strange mistake of the team, Vincent fell to his knees and clubbed the ground with his head.

At the post-match press conference, Vincent was the first to enter the press conference hall, and as soon as he sat on the podium, he put his hands on the table, buried his head between his arms, and kept his head down without saying a word. After a while, Vincent raised his head and saw that Xu Jinzhe, the head coach of the Chinese Taibei team, had not yet appeared, and he suddenly slapped the table in anger and asked the press officer of the Asian Basketball Federation to urge.

However, commenting on the game, Vincent's words were simple and his emotions returned to calm, "I want to apologize to the Filipino fans, this is our home game, we are under too much pressure. We suddenly forgot how to play when we were attacking smoothly and it was too late for our players to wake up. ”

In the final against the Chinese team, Vincent's starting five were: point guard Tenorio, scoring guard Jeff Chen, small forward Norwood, power forward Aquila and center Dohit.

Point guard Tenorio was well-known in college, he came from the University of Atlanto, a prestigious school in the UAAP league, and was selected by the San Miguel Beer team with the fourth pick in the PBA draft in 2006. In addition to his short stature (176cm), Tenorio's speed, outside shooting, interception ability, and passing vision are all highly regarded and have the characteristics of a traditional Filipino point guard. In terms of offense, Tenorio can shoot from the outside, dribble in, or launch a fast attack, or run first to play the attack arrow, play comprehensively, no accustomed position and shooting range, and often make people unguardable, the Chinese team must pay more attention to Tenorio's on-the-spot situation, and he can't have the opportunity to go crazy.

Shooting guard Jeff Chen, who entered the PBA Draft in 2008, was selected only with the 7th pick in the second round. This year's league won the Best Advance Award with the Governors\'Cup overall champion MVP. Jeff Chen is a left-hander, best known for his passing and shooting abilities, and often plays brilliantly with his teammates. The physical condition is not eye-catching, but the offensive skills are diverse and the style of play is comprehensive. Outside shooting is his main offensive weapon, and he has a very high weight, and he is used to shooting at a 45-degree angle on both sides to the baseline.

Small forward Norwood, who was born in the United States, studied and played in the United States when he was a student. In 2003~2007, Norwood studied at George Mason University in the first division of the NCAA, and in 2006, he reached the final four of the NCAA Championship with the team. After graduating from college, Norwood was drafted by the Philippines and became the top pick in the 2008 PBA draft. Norwood's talent is quite outstanding, with speed, mobility, bounce ability and passing vision at the top of the pack when compared to a Filipino player of the same height. However, Norwood's lackluster offensive approach, coupled with his shooting touch, are what marginalize Norwood. Vincent included him in the starter, and the main purpose was to let him keep an eye on Sun Xiaotian.

Power forward Aquila, like Norwood, was born in the United States, played in the United States, and after graduating from college in 2009, he returned to the Philippines to participate in the PBA draft and was selected as the top pick. With a height of 205 cm, which was originally a minority in the Philippines, Aquila also has the talent and physical fitness that these long people do not have, and the bouncing ability, mobility and agility are excellent, but his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the body is thin and the confrontation is insufficient, but he can shoot, and the usual offensive means is to dribble and cut through and shoot at the top of the arc in the middle and long distance, the range can be close to the three-point line, and the style of play is biased towards the front line. As for letting him defend Yi Jianlian, it is really difficult for him.

The center forward Dohit is more well-known to Chinese fans. Dohit has been playing for the Philippines since 2010 and has traveled with the Philippines and has competed in many international competitions. In the last Wuhan Asian Championships, Dohit averaged 21.9 points and 12.2 rebounds, ranking the double champion of the conference. Dohit's good performance at that time also gave him the opportunity to join the Chinese CBA Foshan team. Dosit has speed and mobility, can attack and defend well, and has a fairly well-rounded technique. Dohit can rely on his long arms in the restricted area to grab rebounds, use his feet to play singles, and he can also stand high to help his teammates respond, block and cover, and shoot from mid-to-long distance. In addition, he has accumulated a lot of international experience in recent years, and he has gradually become familiar with the playing style and characteristics of Asian teams, and has been able to fully integrate into the team system of the Philippines. The only downside is that as you get older, your physical condition may not be as good as before. However, even so, he is still the target of the Chinese team's focus.

Each player in the starting lineup on both sides is single-handed, and the Philippines has less than half a advantage in each position, but the charm of basketball lies in this, 1+1+1+1+1 can always be greater than 5, and you can never guess what will happen in the game. (To be continued.) )
