Chapter 303: The first battle against South Korea
The Dragon State men's basketball players are making final preparations in the locker room.
Qin Xiao changed into the national team's No. 9 jersey. For him personally, this is a brand new journey.
The competition rules of the Asian Championships are different from those of the NBA. In more than a month of training with the team, Qin Xiao has completely mastered the rules.
He feels that compared with the NBA, the rules of the international arena are slightly stricter.
The two have completely different judgments on ball interference, including catching the ball and starting it, etc. In the international arena, it would be very embarrassing to accidentally walk with the ball.
In international competitions, as long as the basketball is above the rim and does not enter the frame, the ball can be fanned away.
In the NBA, it is considered ball interference.
Of course, there are some rules here that the NBA does not have.
If the team holding the ball is forced to stop by the opponent and the ball is stopped for more than five seconds, it will be deemed a violation.
Qin Xiao was a little uncomfortable at first, but after playing a few internal matches, he had figured out these rules.
"Tonight is the first game of our group stage, so everyone must show the most serious attitude and strive to get off to a good start with a big win!"
Coach Li Nan is encouraging the players.
The Korean men's basketball team still has some strength, so don't be too careless.
If Qin Xiao remembers correctly, according to the correct historical trajectory, the Dragon State men's basketball team lost to the South Korean team by four points in the first game.
And he will change this history today.After a while, players from both sides came out for pre-match warm-ups.
The moment Qin Xiao appeared on the camera, the fans in the audience suddenly burst into cheers of 'mvp'.
Obviously, many Dragon Country fans came to Manila to watch the game.
"Look at the popularity of Team Qin. Even though they play in the Philippines, it's no different from playing at home!"
"Haha, that's right, Team Qin is the hottest supernova in the NBA!"
"For this reason alone, no one can compare with us in the Asian Championships."
Everyone was having another shameless rainbow fart, this has become their norm.
Qin Xiao was tired of hearing this. He couldn't bear to stay with a group of sycophants every day.
Qin Xiao slowly walked into the stadium amid loud cheers from the fans.
Everyone on the South Korean team also looked towards Qin Xiao, their faces full of solemnity.
Because standing in front of them is the strongest rookie in the NBA!
Facing such an opponent, no matter who you are, you will feel nervous.
"That's Qin. He looks really strong."
"Just thinking about playing against him today gives me a headache."
"No matter what, we still have to fight."
"I feel like I'm in a bad state today. I didn't have my favorite kimchi for lunch!"
"Stop joking, this is a competition, please be serious."
The Korean players were muttering there.
Qin Xiao only heard the chirping behind him and didn't know what to say.
But no matter what the other party said, he had only one task today, which was to rub the Korean team on the floor.
Qin Xiao first did a set of stretching exercises to briefly warm up his body.
Then, with all the fans watching, he walked to the midline with the ball.
"What does that guy want to do?"
"I don't know. Do you want to shoot a long three-pointer?"
When the Korean players saw this scene, they murmured again.
Just as they were talking, Qin Xiao sprinted at full speed.
He stepped on the free throw line and jumped up, and his terrifying jumping ability was fully displayed at this moment.
Qin Xiao, who was in the air, made a complete change of hands under his crotch, and then dunked the ball into the basket!
"ohhhhhhhhh!"
Qin Xiao performed an iconic free throw line dunk with a change of hands.
The fans at the scene once again burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
I have to say that Qin Xiao is very professional when it comes to creating an atmosphere.
Even before the game started, the atmosphere was completely heightened.
It is worth mentioning that the audience for this game was almost full.
Ticket prices for the Asian Championships are not as expensive as NBA tickets.
Being able to watch Qin Xiao's game at a low price is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In the previous three games, the attendance rate was only 60%, but the attendance rate for this game was almost over 90%.
Most of the fans came for Qin Xiao.
This shows how popular Qin Xiao is now.
At the same time, Kobe Bryant, who was far away in Los Angeles, also watched the live broadcast.
When he saw Qin Xiao acting cool during the warm-up period, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "He is a young man after all, he just likes to show off, but there should be no problem in this game."
……
On the court, the Korean players were stunned when they saw this scene.
When they complete an ordinary dunk, they all feel very powerful.
In their eyes, Qin Xiao's dunk just now was impossible.
"Ah Xiba... I just have to face off against this pervert tonight, can you change to another one..."
"Good luck to you, man."
"I don't want..."
In contrast, the players of the Longguo men's basketball team seemed very calm.
It's not that they didn't look down on the dunk, it was because they saw too much.
During the training camp, Qin Xiao performed many wonderful dunks.
Once you've seen a lot of good things, they won't be that rare anymore.
A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up ended and the starting lineups of both sides were announced.
Bangzi National Men’s Basketball Starting Lineup:
Point guard: Kim Tae-soo
Shooting guard: Zhao Chengmin
Small forward: Wen Chengkun
Power forward: Kim Joo-sung
Center: Kim Jong-hyun
Longguo men’s basketball starting lineup:
Point Guard: Guo Ailun
Shooting Guard: Wang Shipeng
Small Forward: Qin Xiao
Power forward: Yi Jianlian
Center: Wang Zhelin
This starting lineup of the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team is definitely the best choice at the moment.
Due to the arrival of Qin Xiao, Zhu Fangyu, who was originally supposed to start, was placed on the bench.
The purpose of this is to give the bench lineup a strong firepower output point.
Zhu Fangyu had no complaints about this arrangement.
"Beep!"
The opening whistle blew and the game officially started.
The two sides played a jump ball in the middle circle, Wang Zhelin vs. Kim Jonghyun
Wang Zhelin, who is 214 centimeters tall, obviously has a height advantage.
The referee threw the ball high, and he easily helped the team get the first wave of offense.
Qin Xiao advanced past half court with the ball, and the person responsible for defending him was a guy named Wen Chengkun.
Facing Qin Xiao, this guy looked very nervous, but he still put on the most serious defensive posture.
However, in Qin Xiao's eyes, this kind of player who is like killing a chicken for nothing poses no threat to him at all.
Qin Xiao waved his hand and motioned for his teammates to pull away.
From outside the three-point line, he decisively launched an attack.
The extremely fast first step combined with the strong core explosive power can instantly push the opponent away and drive towards the basket.
Jin Jongxian in the penalty area has obviously not seen Qin Xiao play much.
Still dumbfounded, he wanted to stop the attack, and even had the idea of blocking Qin Xiao.
If other people knew what he was thinking, they would probably think that this guy must be crazy!
