Chapter 53: Eruption in Silence
Chapter 53 erupts in silence
If the three games in the preliminary round of the Asian Championships are the show of the Chinese men's basketball team, then the three games of the semi-finals are the more advanced show of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In the first game of the rematch, the Chinese men's basketball team played against India.
In this game, the Chinese team also played very smoothly, almost did not encounter any resistance, and won the final victory of the game, and in the end, the Chinese men's basketball team won the first game of the rematch 117-63.
In the whole game, Yao Ming played 20 minutes, scored 14 points and 12 rebounds, and won a double-double again. ** rebounded in form, scoring 11 points and grabbing six rebounds. China's top scorer was No. 9 Zhang Jinsong, who scored 17 points and shot 3-of-6 from three-point range to 50 percent.
Cao Jian's performance in this game was worse than before, only 6 assists were delivered, no steals, and the key problem was that Cao Jian only played 10 minutes in this game.
After the big win over India, the Chinese team continued to welcome the stronger Lebanese team at home.
The Lebanese team, who were the runners-up in the last Asian Championships, should not be underestimated.
And the victory of this game is related to whether the Chinese men's basketball team can enter the quarterfinals.
This is the strongest team China has faced so far in the Asian Championships, having won the Asian Championship final in Shanghai two years ago after China defeated Lebanon 97-63. Now the two teams meet again in the quarter-finals, having won all four of their previous matches. Jiang Xingquan did not make any changes to the starting lineup, and it was still Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu, Zhang Jinsong, Liu Wei and Li Ke.
The Chinese team once again used its strength to prove that the Chinese men's basketball team with Yao Ming is an inviolable lion, and the Chinese team also won Lebanon 90-61 in this game and won the quarterfinals.
In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team or Yao Ming has become the focus of the team, so to speak, because of the existence of Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team will win Lebanon so easily, Yao Ming scored 32 points and 18 rebounds in the whole game, and when Yao Ming was replaced, he got the applause of the audience.
There is another person who cannot be ignored in this battle, and that person is Cao Jian.
Although Lebanon was defeated by China by a big score in this game, there were still many tangled moments in the process of the game, among which Cao Jian resolved them one by one.
For example, halfway through the first quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team encountered the problem that the ball could not be handed over to Yao Ming, and the Chinese team had a bad start and was beaten 23-12, and Jiang Xingquan had no choice but to replace Cao Jian. As soon as Cao Jian came up, he directed a scene of flowers blooming inside and outside, causing Lebanon to be unable to defend itself, the Chinese men's basketball team chased the score and overtook it, and Lebanon was beaten without the slightest power to parry.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team announced the end of the game loudly.
The previous matches against India and Lebanon were smooth, which seemed to indicate that the Chinese men's basketball team's rematch and preliminary round would also be smooth, but this is not the case.
In this game against the Japanese men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team was frantically blocked by Japan. Before this battle, the Chinese team had won all two games and advanced to the semifinals, while Japan won one and lost one, and theoretically there is still the possibility of entering the semifinals. Therefore, at the beginning of this war, Japan also tried its best.
China's starting line-up is the same as in previous games, with Yao Ming, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Li Ke and Zhang Jinsong, while Japan's starting line-up is Naoto Nakamura, Toshiryo Ito, Takuma Watanabe, Satoru Furuta and Michael Takahashi.
The Japanese team played very tenaciously and they were prepared, especially against Yao Ming. Every time Yao Ming is on the inside, even if he doesn't take the ball, there are two people to take care of him, and sometimes even four people come over to get the ball, and it becomes very difficult for Yao Ming to score every time.
In this regard, Yao Ming was also extremely angry, and said in an interview after the game, "Every time you lift your arm, you feel someone hanging on it, do you feel good?" ”
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Japanese men's basketball team were entangled, because Yao Ming encountered a bag on the inside and he couldn't catch the ball, and every time he was almost defended to almost 24 seconds, the outside line began to shoot in waves.
The Chinese team's outside shooting is not very good today, so it was directly beaten 12-4 at the beginning, and the Chinese men's basketball team still relied on Yao Ming to stand on the free throw line.
The problem of men's basketball guards also showed up again against the Japanese men's basketball team. Dribbling and passing are the two basic skills of guards, but the defenders of the Chinese team who do not know this are unable to touch the north in the face of the Japanese team's not airtight full-court pressing.
More than halfway through the first quarter, it should have been a very easy game, but the Chinese men's basketball team played particularly hard.
Fortunately, Liu Wei is still competitive, and the basketball can't reach Yao Ming's hands, but he hit a three-pointer at the critical moment, so that the Chinese men's basketball team will avoid the half-quarter of the game and expand the difference to more than 10 points.
Jiang Xingquan couldn't stand it anymore, at this time, the score was fixed at 7-17, and the Chinese men's basketball team was still 10 points ahead.
Taking advantage of the pause Liu Weixia, Guo Shiqiang went up, but Guo Shiqiang couldn't, his pass was broken twice in succession, and Guo Shiqiang's two mistakes were also converted into scores by the opponent, and the difference suddenly came to 14 points, Jiang Xingquan had to use up the first quarter of the game, and the last time left.
Guo Shiqiang wanted Liu Wei to go up, but he was stopped by Yao Ming, "Cao, you go." Yao Ming named Cao Jianshang, not Liu Wei.
Cao Jian looked at Jiang Xingquan, Yao Ming had spoken, Jiang Xingquan didn't say anything, nodded, and there were more than 5 minutes left in the first quarter, and Cao Jian went into battle.
Cao Jian's performance in the previous games was not very good, and his return to the field also aroused doubts from the fans at the scene, and some fans also questioned:
"Is Jiang Shuai a replacement? Now that the Chinese team is 14 points behind, don't overturn in the gutter. ”
"I don't understand why Jiang Xingquan did this, Liu Wei and Guo Shiqiang are no better than him."
"I look very suspenseful."
……
There were constant doubts on the court, but Cao Jian used his strong strength to smash the doubts.
The game is back.
Chinese men's basketball ball rights.
Cao Jian dribbled over half the court, and the Japanese team still used full-court marking, and before the half, Michael Takahashi came over to mark Cao Jian, delaying Cao Jian's half-time.
I believe that old fans watching the game will be no stranger to Michael Takahashi, that's right, he is the "Japanese Jordan" who once said that he was the Asian Jordan who said that he would dunk Hu Weidong, but unfortunately he can only dunk the dunk in general. And his Jordan name is probably due to the fact that the Japanese team is outstanding.
Others may be a little jealous of him, but Cao Jian is not.
Michael Takahashi saw that Cao Jian was thin and weak, and wanted the strength to come and squeeze Cao Jian, but Cao Jian didn't give him this opportunity, so he directly took a step, accelerated, threw it away in one step, and rushed straight to the front, Cao Jian was very fast and rushed straight to the Japanese team's penalty area.
The players of the Japanese team didn't know that the newly replaced Cao Jian would be so violent, as soon as he came up, he smashed Huanglong, knowing that it was not good, he hurriedly helped to defend it, Cao Jian alone attracted the defense of all the players of the Japanese team, and just before the formation of the bag, Cao Jian directly hit the ground pass, and the basketball passed directly under the crotch of the Japanese player Naoto Nakamura, and the basketball bounced up, and I didn't know how to get the basketball straight to Yao Ming's abdomen.
Yao Ming received the ball very comfortably, received the ball, pulled up directly, faced with the basketball close at hand, his eyes spewed out a raging fire, and he concentrated all his strength on his arm, he regarded the basket as a defender of the Japanese team who hung on him before, and bombarded the ball into the basket with a thunderous momentum, with a loud bang, the basketball passed through the net, bounced heavily on the ground, and was bounced up again, hitting the jaw of the Japanese player Naoto Nakamura......
