Chapter 270 The Asian Championships have begun!

Besides, for Xu Lang, it is useless to extract the actor template now.

After all, in the next period of time, because of the Asian Championships, Xu Lang will not be able to take care of acting until at least the end of August.

Therefore, even if Xu Lang extracted the actor template now, it was for nothing.

Time flies, time flies, under the completely closed training, Xu Lang feels that time flies so fast.

Before I knew it, the time came to the day when the 2007 Asian Men's Championship was about to start.

Speaking of which, for this year's Asian Championships, Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian and others can be regarded as revisiting their old places.

After all, last year's World Championship was held in Japan, and this year's Asian Championship is also held in Japan.

It's just that compared to last year's Japan and China team participating in the World Championships, they are in a state of various unfavorable conditions.

The Chinese team, which came to Japan again this year to participate in the Asian Championships, was already regarded as the champion of this year's Asian Championships before the game even started.

People are now discussing more about how violent the Chinese team will dominate the Asian basketball world in this Asian Championship.

Although the Chinese team is not fully participating in this Asian Championships, Yao Ming and Sun Yue, the two starters of last year's World Championships, did not come to participate in this Asian Championships.

However, as a world-class team, even if it only has a semi-starting lineup, it is not something that an Asian team can withstand!

What's more, even with this semi-starting lineup, the Chinese team is led by two players who rank first in Asia.

The two No. [-] players in Asia are on the same team. No matter how you look at it, this year's Asian Championship has come to an end before it even started.

........................

The Asian Men's Basketball Championship was founded in 1960 and is held every two years. It has been held for the 24th time this year.

The Chinese team officially joined this international competition in 1975, which was the eighth Asian Men's Basketball Championship.

At the same time, since joining the Asian Men's Basketball Championship in 1975, the Chinese team has participated in the 16th Asian Men's Basketball Championship so far.

Among them, they have won the Asian Championships 14 times. It is just a little strange that in the past 14 championships, Chinese basketball has not been able to break a curse in the Asian Championships, that is, it can only achieve five consecutive championships at most.

As long as the Chinese team wins the five consecutive championships in the Asian Championships, there will inevitably be a relatively special Asian team in the next year that can kill the Chinese team very upset and break the momentum of the Chinese team's consecutive championships.

Therefore, among domestic fans, there is also a saying that the five Chinese basketball games last 10 years as a generation, and the interval between each generation is the Asian Championships every four years.

Before this year's Asian Championships, the Chinese team has achieved four consecutive championships.

Obviously, under the leadership of Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian this year, the Chinese team's five consecutive championships are already a certainty.

And judging from the current age of Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming, in the next Asian Championship two years later, the curse of the Chinese team's inability to win six consecutive championships will 100% be broken.

Even, some media have predicted that the champions of the next five Asian Championships will belong to the Chinese team!
Of course, these are all things to say, let's go back to the competition of this Asian Championships.

A total of 16 teams participated in this Asian Championship. According to the rules, these 16 teams will be divided into four groups: abcd.

Then the four teams in each group will conduct a round-robin match for points ranking, and the top three teams in points ranking will enter the preliminaries of the second stage.

In the second stage, the teams that advanced in the first stage were mixed again.

The top three players from both groups AB will enter Group E, and the top three players from both groups CD will enter Group F.

As for the teams that have already faced each other in each group, the scores are directly brought into the EF group.

The teams that have played against each other in the first stage will no longer face each other. In the end, the top four teams in each group of the EF group will qualify again and become the top eight teams in the Asian Championships.

Then, the quarter-finals will enter the knockout round. Each team has only one chance, and if they lose, their journey to the Asian Championships will be over!
The top eight teams will play against each other to determine the top four teams, and the top four teams will play against each other to determine the final team, and finally determine the champion of the Asian Championships.

The rules for the top eight teams are that the first player in Group E will play against the fourth player in Group F, the third player in Group E will play against the second player in Group F, the fourth player in Group E will play against the first player in Group F, and the third player in Group E will play against the second player in Group F. The second is against the third in Group F.

Then the winners of the first two groups will play in the semi-finals, and the winners of the last two groups will play in the semi-finals.

As the absolute favorite to win this year's Asian Championships, the Chinese team was placed in Group A, and the teams that were placed in Group A together with the Chinese team were Jordan, the Philippines, and Iran.

To be honest, the overall team strength of Group A is definitely the highest among the four groups. The Philippines and Iran are also one of the strong teams in Asian basketball at this stage.

If it was the previous Chinese team without Yao Ming, without Xu Lang, without Yi Jianlian.

Being in Group A is definitely a relatively difficult grouping!
After all, Iran and the Philippines are not good teams to meet.

But for the current Chinese team, being in Group A means that the other teams in Group A have become that difficult team.

After all, although the Chinese team still does not have Yao Ming this year, the Chinese team without Yao Ming is likely to be more ruthless in abusing food.

After all, the Chinese team with Yao Ming needs to play at a slow pace, but the Chinese team without Yao Ming can fully raise the pace of the game. By then, the lead and the score gap will be completely out of control.

For example, in last year's World Championships, when the Chinese team faced the Japanese team, Yao Ming completed a near double kill of the Japanese team in less than 10 minutes.

What's more, this year's Chinese team is an enhanced version of the Chinese team without Yao Ming. Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian's strength has been further improved.

Zhu Fangyu and Mo Ke have also been tempered by the NBA, and their personal strength has been promoted to the b-level.

Counting these two players, the number of players in the Chinese team who have reached the b-level or above in terms of strength has reached five.

Among them, Yi Jianlian's personal strength has reached the peak of B-level.

Not to mention Xu Lang, with an overall strength evaluation of 93, Xu Lang's personal strength performance is even more terrifying than last year's World Championships.

You know, in the entire Asian Championships, if a team can have a b-level player, it has already guaranteed a place in the top eight!

So, facing such a Chinese team, which Asian Championship team can withstand it!

Not to mention defeating the Chinese team, it means being able to withstand the offensive pressure of the Chinese team without being widened too much. No team should be able to do it.

The current status of the Chinese team in the Asian basketball world is like that of the dream team in the world basketball world ten years ago. Losing less means winning.

"Chinese basketball doesn't emphasize martial arts, and it even sends the main team to play in Asian games."

"As a world-class team, the Chinese team should be like the US team, which was a world-class team in the past. When playing Asian games, the Chinese team should mainly use college players or secondary league players."

"The most suspenseful Asian Championships, except for China, all other participating teams are here to compete for No.2."

Undoubtedly, as the new champions of last year's World Championships, the Chinese team was reported as the absolute devil in this Asian Championships!

Of course, there are reports that praise the Chinese team infinitely or in disguise, and there are also some media and players who try to challenge or belittle the Chinese team.

For example, the current core player of the Iranian team, Hamad Haddadi, who is called the number one power forward in Asia by the Iranian media, said that the Iranian team will take off the false veil that the Chinese team has been touted and reach the top of Group A First.

Halladi even said that he is a player with stronger talent and potential than Yi Jianlian. He expressed strong dissatisfaction with his failure to be selected by an NBA team this year.

Other players of the Iranian team: …………………, the above remarks only represent the personal views of a certain person, and have nothing to do with the team!

Speaking of which, Halladi, who can now be the absolute core player of the Iranian team, still has personal strength, but comparing him to a player of Yi Jianlian's level is a bit too much.

After all, in the past year, Yi Jianlian has proved in the NBA that although he is not a super-top player like Xu Lang or Yao Ming, he is at least at the level of a qualified inside core player of an NBA playoff team.

In contrast, Haddadi, who is difficult to play absolute dominance in Iran's domestic league, is at least 2 to 3 levels behind Yi Jianlian in terms of personal strength.

And it was the same in Xu Lang's systematic judgment.

Haddadi's overall strength evaluation is only at the top of the c+ level, although this strength is already considered an extremely high level in Asian basketball!
However, compared with Yi Jianlian's B-level peak strength, it was 2 levels behind.

According to the system's strength evaluation standard, let alone two levels difference, even if two players match up with only one level difference, the higher level one may directly crush the opponent.

Obviously, the players and fans of the Chinese team are well aware of the gap in strength between the two.

Therefore, neither domestic fans nor national team players care much about Haddadi's provocation.

When the players of the Chinese team were asked this question during an interview, they all just chuckled, saying that Haddadi's courage is commendable, just like He Shengzhen who faced Yao Ming back then!
It's just that, after the Chinese team finished their first game of the Asian Championships and faced the Jordan team with a 40-point difference.

Originally, Haddadi, who was still clamoring in front of the media, suddenly silenced.

Especially after seeing this game, Yi Jianlian played for 30 minutes.

After scoring 35 points and 18 rebounds with super data performance.

The Iranian media, who were frantically touting Haddadi, no longer put Haddadi and Yi Jianlian on the same level for evaluation.

Obviously, the effect of killing chickens and monkeys is very good.

Jordan: ... ... Zhuo!

Of course, although on the bright side, Haddadi and the Iranian media are no longer messing around.

But for Haddadi, before he has formally confronted Yi Jianlian, it is impossible for him to give up the possibility of stepping on Yi Jianlian.

After all, this may be the only chance of Halladay's career to prove himself in front of NBA scouts.

That's right, this year's Asian Championships attracted many NBA players to watch the game.

After all, with the Chinese team reaching the top of the world and the continuous rise of Asian players such as Xu Lang, it has been proved that Asian players are also possible to survive in the NBA, and even play very well.

This makes Asia, following Europe, one of the sources of players that NBA teams pay special attention to.

And it is precisely because of the arrival of these NBA scouts that the leading players of the teams participating in the Asian Championships this year, especially the young players, want to get some capital from the Chinese team to enter the NBA.

After all, the Chinese team is the team with the largest number of NBA players among all the national teams participating in the Asian Championships this year.

Including the Chinese team's opponents in the opening game of the Asian Championships, the Jordan team originally had this idea.

It's just because the gap between the overall strength of the Jordan team and the Chinese team is too great.

As a result, all the players of the Jordan team, even those who have tried their best, tried to put some pressure on the offense and defense of the Chinese team, but the effect was not very good.

And if it weren't for the Chinese team to let some water out in the last ten minutes, put Xu Lang, Wang Zhizhi and other main players off the court, leaving only Yi Jianlian to score points on the court.

The Jordan team's lag in this game may be further improved.

Of course, although the unlucky Jordan team is in front, the other teams participating in this year's Asian Championships will still not let go of their plan to step on the Chinese team when they compete with the Chinese team.

The Philippines, the second opponent of the Chinese team in Group A, used some special means to attract the attention of some NBA scouts in this game against the Chinese team.

"Xu, is this restricted?"

"It seems to be. Xu seems to be really restricted. The little guard in the Philippines seems to have two hands."

Although at the end of the first quarter of the game, Xu Lang had scored 11 points and three rebounds alone.

However, throughout the first quarter, Xu Lang didn't have a single assist.

This is absolutely abnormal for Xu Lang, a traditional point guard.

This is also an important reason why the NBA scouts on the sidelines would say that Alapag, who was against Xu Lang in this game, seemed to restrain Xu Lang.

After all, for the Chinese team, a team powered by Xu Lang, Xu Lang has no way to organize an offense.

The overall offensive firepower of the entire Chinese team is definitely not at its best.

Although, even the Chinese team, which is not in the best condition, also achieved a five-point lead at the end of the first quarter of this game.

However, it is obvious that compared with the previous game against Jordan, the Chinese team only achieved a five-point lead in a single quarter, which is not very good!
"Brother Lang, doesn't that guy know that you once kicked someone into the hospital in the NBA?"

In the past quarter of the game just now, when Arapag was defending Xu Lang, he made various small moves.

The most important thing is that the referee of this game is also a bit strange.

Whenever Alapag's small actions made Xu Lang impatient, the referee would promptly call a foul on Alapag or the Philippine team, which made it difficult for Xu Lang to express his anger.

And it's not just Ala Pateg, the defensive and offensive actions of all the players of the entire Philippine team in this game are not clean.

Especially in the interior confrontation, many of the actions themselves are not easy to be limited to whether they are foul actions or normal defensive and offensive actions.

This led to many times, after Xu Lang got rid of Arapag's small moves and completed the pass.

It is also difficult for the receiver to complete the offense with the trend. It is often necessary to complete the second offense after readjusting the offensive rhythm or competing for offensive rebounds.

This is one of the reasons why Xu Lang had so few assists in the first quarter.

Fortunately, although the Philippines made a lot of small moves, which made the Chinese team uncomfortable in this game, the overall strength gap between the two teams is still obvious.

Therefore, the overall game situation of this game is still controlled by the Chinese team.

I just don't know if it was because of the first quarter of the game, the tempers of these players in the Chinese team are too good.

As a result, in the second quarter of the game, these Philippine players began to intensify their offensive and defensive actions.

Stepping up, don't retreat, pulling trouser pockets, and dark elbows are all kinds of rougher defensive moves, which are slowly displayed in the hands of Filipino players.

Not only that, but several Filipino players also started verbal provocations.

Especially for Yi Jianlian, Xu Lang, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Mo Ke and other players who play in the NBA.

Various English words beginning with f and s spewed out from the mouths of these defensive players in the Philippines.

Obviously, these players of the Philippine team tried to get some of the main players of the Chinese team off the field through some off-the-board tricks.

And so far, the effect of their trick is really good.

For example, in the middle of the second quarter, Moko couldn't help being angry and threw an elbow on the opponent's player's face, and was then called a technical foul by the referee.

But for the Philippine team, it is not enough for Moko to be sentenced to a technical foul alone.

The main goals of these players of the Philippine team are still concentrated on Yi Jianlian and Xu Lang, the two core inside and outside of the Chinese team.

It's just that Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian, who have obviously experienced more intense verbal attacks and small actions in the NBA, are not so easy to be fooled.

This also led to the last 2 minutes of the second quarter.

Alapag didn't find a chance and completely angered Xu Lang. Even in the duel of small moves, Alapag still had some small disadvantages.

And in Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian, the core inside and outside lines of the two national teams, there is no chaos.

Naturally, the Chinese team has undoubtedly grasped the initiative in the game situation.
