Chapter 51: A Storm of Victory
At 19:30 on the evening of September 23, the first day of the Asian Men's Basketball Championship began, and the match between the host China and the Syrian team also kicked off at the Harbin Tianrun Gymnasium.
With more than an hour to go before the start of the game, fans poured into the stadium one after another, and reporters began to squat in the spot, ready to interview.
When the bus marked with the Chinese team appeared in the stadium, reporters also flocked up, and the fans behind also followed, blocking the parked bus...... The above people are all important ministers of the Chinese men's basketball team, but the reporters are not willing to disperse, who are they waiting for?
When the reporter saw the tall and thin Cao Jian getting off the bus, the reporter also opened the clip:
"Your name is Cao Jian? I heard that you joined the Cleveland Cavaliers as a free agent this year, I wonder if that's true? ”
"At the age of 18, what does it feel like to join the Chinese men's basketball team?"
"What do you think is the purpose of the Chinese men's basketball team's choice of you?"
"I haven't heard of you before, where did you come from?"
"Against Syria, it was your first game in the Chinese men's basketball team, do you have anything to say?"
……
As soon as Cao Jian got out of the car, he was besieged, and being pointed at by long guns and short guns, Cao Jian was also difficult to adapt to for a while. Before encountering this series of things, Cao Jian had fantasized about this kind of scene, but when this happened, Cao Jian also felt depressed, and it felt terrible to be surrounded by a large group of people. I felt terrible, but I still had to force myself to smile.
If he didn't answer the questions, he wouldn't be able to leave at all, and seeing that there was still some time, he thought about it and stood still, smiling and saying to the media: "I can't answer all of your questions, you come one by one, okay." Although Cao Jian feels terrible surrounded by so many reporters, Cao Jian knows that these people don't see that they are powerless, but their pen is infinitely powerful.
Cao Jian has seen a lot of things in this regard, so he is very cautious about this aspect.
"First of all, thank you for your support, I'm honored. Yes, my name is Cao Jian and I am eighteen years old......"
"I'm joining the Cavaliers and playing for the Cavaliers next season."
"I don't know why the Chinese men's basketball team takes a fancy to me, I know that since the Chinese men's basketball team has chosen me, then I must do my best."
"As for what I have to say before the game, in fact, I have a lot to say, but all this will have to wait until the Chinese men's basketball team returns to the top of Asia."
Cao Jian answered a few questions, at this time, the security guard also opened the way for him, Cao Jian knew that this was a good opportunity to slip away, and under the escort of the security guard, Cao Jian was able to leave safely.
……
In the Chinese men's basketball team's match against Syria, Harbin Tianrun Stadium was also crowded with spectators, and the players were warming up before the game, but the cheers and shouts of the fans made the game not start, but the arena had reached the top.
"Come on, Chinese team! Come on, Chinese team! Come on ...... Chinese team"
"Boom!! Thundered!!!! Thundered!!! ”
Before the game began, the fans shouted and the banging sound of the sticks filling the stadium.
The time was fixed at 19:30 in the evening, and the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Syrian men's basketball team officially kicked off.
At the beginning of the game, the starting players of the Chinese team were Yao Ming, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Zhang Jinsong and Li Ke. Cao Jian was not a starter, so he didn't have to play.
Cao Jian, who was on the bench, was not in a hurry, or did not want to play at all. If this Asian Championship can be called the opponent of the Chinese team, there is only one South Korean team. Helping the Chinese men's basketball team defeat the South Korean men's basketball team is also the sole purpose of Cao Jian's trip.
For Cao Jian, now that helping the Chinese men's basketball team defeat the South Korean men's basketball team is not just because of a systematic task. Another point is that he really wants to beat South Korea, and for every Chinese fan, the shame of Busan has left a deep imprint in the hearts of fans.
Cao Jian wants to help the Chinese men's basketball team remove this brand.
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team jumped the ball successfully, although Li Ke and Zhu Fangyu missed the jump shot, but the Chinese team grabbed the front court rebounds twice in a row, Liu Wei shot the first point of the game, and then Li Kezhong hit the shot.
Due to the presence of Yao Ming, the offensive success rate of the Syrian men's basketball team is not high, and the Chinese team played a round of 8-0 after the opening.
With seven minutes left in the first quarter, Syria scored the first point of the game. Then the Syrian men's basketball team asked for a timeout when it was 4-13 down, and Zhu Fangyu scored a layup, and the Chinese team expanded the score gap to more than 10 points. The Chinese team frequently uses inside shots to score, and Yao Ming's backcourt defense is also very good.
At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team led the Syrian men's basketball team by 23 points 32-9. Yao Ming had 12 points, seven rebounds and four blocks.
In the second quarter of the game**, Sun Jun and Guo Shiqiang substituted Yao Ming, Zhang Jinsong and Liu Wei. Cao Jian still didn't play, but sat on the sidelines and watched steadily, whenever there was a wonderful goal, Cao Jian would jump up from his seat directly like a fanatical fan, applauding and shouting and cheering.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Sun Jun received an assist and put in three points, and then the Syrian men's basketball team returned the color. Sun Jun and Li Ke frequently shot three points from distance, but neither hit.
With 6 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, China led 37-15 and Jiang Xingquan called a timeout.
The Chinese team was also replaced by Cao Jian, and the on-site reporter also gave Cao Jian a close-up.
Although this is Cao Jian's first game of the Chinese men's basketball team, Cao Jian does not have the slightest nervousness, nor does he have too much enthusiasm, he completely regards the game as a very ordinary training game, and the game is more about passing.
As soon as he came up, he directly assisted the basket ** basket and caused the opponent to foul and add penalties.
Syria requested a moratorium.
After the pause, the two teams were in a stalemate, and the two sides went back and forth.
At such a moment, Cao Jian stood up again, and delivered five assists in one go, all of which were sent to **, ** frequently used his body to shoot and score on the inside.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team led the Syrian men's basketball team by 26 points at 54-28.
In the first half, Yao Ming scored 12 points, ** and Zhu Fangyu each scored 10 points, while Cao Jian didn't score a single point, just handed out five assists and one steal.
With so much lead in the first half, the second half of the game can basically be said to have entered garbage time, Cao Jian is not much interested in this kind of professional vs. amateur game, the second half is the same as the first half, it is mainly passing.
Although he barely performed on the offensive end, Cao Jian used his assists to revitalize the entire Chinese team, and the Chinese team once led by 70 points.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team couldn't bear to see Syria being abused so badly, so they stopped, but when the game was over, Syria still couldn't narrow the difference.
In the end, the game was also fixed at 118-53, and the Chinese team got off to a good start with a huge score difference of 65 points in the first game.
