Chapter 319 Pretend to Pay a Price
One day later, the Asian Championship qualifying officially begins. The Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team will face the Dragon Kingdom Taipei today!
The time is scheduled to 15:45 in the afternoon. Before that, there are still three games to be played.
The first game is the Dragon Kingdom game in Hong Kong. They have already determined that they will not qualify for the World Cup tickets.
Now it's just a competition for ranking 9-12, so there won't be much attention.
Before the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball game, fans were most concerned about Iran's match against Jordan.
This is also a quarter-final matchup.
If the Dragon State men's basketball team can win today and enter the semifinals, their opponent will be the winner of Iran and Jordan.
Judging from the strength on paper, Iran will win with a high probability, and it is very likely that it will meet the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team again in the semifinals.
Today's first game has started, and the two sides are Hong Kong and Bahrain.
After a not very fierce battle, the Hong Kong men's basketball team finally won the game with its excellent overall performance.
Immediately afterwards, the game between India's third brother and Xiaozi started. Both teams have been determined to miss next year's World Cup in Spain.
Compared with the game that just ended, the attention of this game is even lower.
In the end, Xiao Tian narrowly defeated his third brother, which made many Dragon Kingdom fans unhappy.
There is no other reason, just because in this Asian Championship, the Dragon State men's basketball team has not encountered a small time, so there is no way to press them to the floor and rub them hard.
After the game ended, it was the turn of Iran and Jordan.
The attention of these two teams is obviously much higher than the previous two games, and Dragon Country fans are very concerned about the outcome of this game.
Of course they hope that the weaker Jordan can advance, but the reality is often not what they want.
The Iranian team showed great strength from the beginning of the game, and Haddadi continued his dominance in the penalty area.
All kinds of unreasonable attacks at the basket made the Jordan team lose their temper.
After the first half of the game, they established a big lead.
Entering the second half, the Iranian team made a strong effort and easily won the game.
In the end, they defeated Jordan 94:50 and successfully got a ticket to the semi-finals.
"Jordan's defeat is too outrageous. I originally expected them to kill Iran, but they have lost all their pants!"
"It's okay, so what if they advance to the semi-finals? Since we can defeat them once in the group stage, we can defeat them a second time."
"Besides, with Emperor Qin in charge, little Iran is nothing but a hammer!"
In front of the TV, Longguo fans are waiting for the next game.
The Dragon Kingdom Derby is about to kick off, and the Iranian team that wins the game will also pay attention to this game.
They really hope that Dragon Kingdom Taipei can break out, kill the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team in one fell swoop, and clear the way for them.
"If Taipei can win, we may even have a chance to win the championship."
"It's not a chance, it's a certainty."
As long as he does not face the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team, Haddadi is confident of defeating any opponent.
……
There are less than 10 minutes left before the game starts.
Players from both sides came out to warm up before the game.
Both sides were players from the Dragon Kingdom, so they greeted each other as a sign of friendship as soon as they came up.
The leader of this Taipei team is Lin Zhijie. In previous games, he produced very good data.
It is worth mentioning that the main position in the team is also the small forward, which can just match up with Qin Xiao.
However, Lin Zhijie is only 192cm tall, which is much shorter than Qin Xiao. He is already at a disadvantage in terms of static talent.
"Hello, my name is Lin Zhijie."
Lin Zhijie saw Qin Xiao at a glance and took the initiative to shake hands.
Qin Xiao also nodded politely: "Qin Xiao."
"You don't need to introduce me. I think everyone knows you. I'm a little sorry to meet you here. I originally wanted to meet you in the finals!"
Lin Zhijie's words surprised Qin Xiao.
This kind of confidence is very similar to him, but it is a pity that Lin Zhijie does not have the system to follow him.
"Then play this game like the finals."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned around.
From this moment until the end of the game, they will become each other's opponents.
A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up ended and the starting lineups of both teams took the field:
Dragon Kingdom Taipei debuts.
Point guard: Li Xuelin
Shooting Guard: Yang Jingmin
Small forward: Lin Zhijie
Power Forward: Tian Lei
Center: Davis
……
The Dragon Nation men's basketball team starts.
Point Guard: Guo Ailun
Shooting Guard: Wang Shipeng
Small Forward: Qin Xiao
Power forward: Yi Jianlian
Center: Wang Zhelin
Judging from the paper strength of both sides, the Longguo men's basketball team is obviously the stronger side.
The two sides performed a jump ball in the middle circle, Wang Zhelin vs. Davis
Davis is a naturalized player of the Taipei team, serving as a center and only 203cm tall.
This height is the height of a normal forward player in the NBA, but he is already the tallest player on the Taipei team.
It is no exaggeration to say that Qin Xiao was taller standing in front of him.
The referee threw the ball high and Wang Zhelin got the ball easily.
Guo Ailun held the ball past half-court, intending to give it to Qin Xiao, but he went directly to the bottom corner.
The meaning is obvious. Let Guo Ailun and the others fight first. If it doesn't work, you can take action yourself.
What Qin Xiao couldn't understand was why the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team with such a strong lineup lost to such a Taipei team that was seriously short of height in history?
If nothing else, Li Xuelin, who plays against Guo Ailun, is only 175cm tall. Although he has the title of Taipei Iverson, compared with Asia's number one point guard, his strength is still far behind.
In the matchups between several other players, the Dragon State men's basketball team almost always had the advantage.
Outside the three-point line, Guo Ailun saw that his opponent was shorter and didn't take it seriously at all.
After dribbling the ball casually for two steps, he directly combined the ball and shot a jump shot.
Li Xuelin took off with all his strength to block the shot, but failed to interfere with Guo Ailun's shooting.
The first shot in the opening game, the touch has not been developed yet.
"Bang!"
There was a crisp iron strike, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
Under the basket, Wang Zhelin and Davis blocked each other.
Although Davis is seriously short of height, he is not afraid of Wang Zhelin in the blocking position.
He was as powerful as a small steel cannon, holding Wang Zhelin firmly behind him.
When the basketball fell, the two of them saw the right moment and prepared to take off.
Just when Wang Zhelin was about to take off, Davis gave him another confrontation.
This resulted in Wang Zhelin not jumping up completely. On the other hand, Davis jumped high and successfully grabbed the defensive rebound from above Wang Zhelin's head.
Wang Zhelin was very depressed. He couldn't understand why such a short man could pick a rebound on his head. This was so embarrassing!
"This guy knows that he will be abused, but this is good. Don't show off in the future. There is a price to pay for showing off!"
Seeing Wang Zhelin being abused by Davis again, Qin Xiao secretly shook his head and muttered in his mouth.
