Chapter 417 Asian Championships
Under the anticipation of countless Huaxia fans, the Asian Championships finally started, and the Huaxia team is undoubtedly the number one seed.
As the first Asian team to win the World Series, the Huaxia Men's Basketball team has completely surpassed its opponents.
It can be said that they are not just an Asian strong team, but a world-class strong team.
In the latest FIBA rankings, the Huaxia men's basketball team ranked No.6 in one fell swoop.
This is unprecedented for Chinese basketball, and even world basketball.
While the Huaxia fans were happy, they were also a little unconvinced.
We obviously won the bronze medal at the World Championships last year, which is No.3.
Why is it only No.6, not No.3?
There is no way to do this, whether it is basketball or other sports, international rankings have rules.
It is a bit unreliable to determine the ranking through a certain competition.
This seems to be more appropriate for the results of a certain period of time.
As for the Huaxia team, apart from their brilliant performance in last year's World Championships, their previous results were mediocre.
Don't look at them almost dominating Asian basketball, but the FIBA rankings don't care much about the results in Asia.
In this case, the Huaxia team's ranking will not be particularly high.
Just before the start of the Asian Championships, the Huaxia team finally determined the goal of this World Championships.
First of all, it is natural to guarantee the championship of the Asian Championships.
Wang Hao is here, Yao Ming is here, and so is Wang Zhizhi.
In this case, if the Huaxia team can't win the championship, it will have to apologize to the people of the whole country.
In addition to the championship, the most important task of the national team in this Asian Championship is training.
Give young people more opportunities.
To put it bluntly, they are preparing for the Olympics next year.
These are all contributed by Wang Hao, because he knows very well that next year is an opportunity.
Americans are still immersed in the dream of the dream team, and American players don't care much about the Olympics.
In other words, it's not that the US team doesn't care about the Olympics, but that it doesn't care about world basketball.
From the perspective of American players, and even American fans, as long as they make a little shot, they are already at the pinnacle of world basketball.
Arrogant, this is to eat the consequences!
Why can't the Huaxia team accomplish what Argentina can do?
From the overall level of a team of 12 people, the Huaxia team may not be as good as the Argentine team.
Today's Argentine basketball, relying on the European League, has come to their golden period.
However, the Huaxia team has also entered a golden period.
More importantly, although there are 12 people in a basketball team, only 5 people can really play.
Among these five people, the ones who can really decide the outcome of the game are actually only two or three people.
And this happens to be the strength of the supersonic.
Especially with the existence of Wang Hao and Yao Ming, the combination of one inside and one outside can definitely dominate the world basketball world.
The only team that can come up with such a lineup is the United States.
However, today's US team obviously doesn't value international basketball very much, and doesn't care at all.
This is the source of Wang Hao's confidence.
It's too early to think about next year's events now, and we have to play well in advance.
The grouping was determined early on, the Huaxia team, the Huaxia Taipei team, the Iran team, and the same group as Syria.
In this group, the Huaxia team and Syria are the only ones, one is in the first tier and the other is in the fourth tier.
Not surprisingly, the Huaxia Taipei team and the Iranian team competed for the other two qualifying places.
On September 9, the opening game started in Ice City, and the Huaxia team first encountered Syria.
Well, that's where the hosts have the advantage of being able to choose their opponents to a certain extent.
Facing the weakest opponent in the group can not only win easily, but also build confidence.
Of course Wang Hao doesn't need to build confidence in Syria, but the young players of the Huaxia team do.
The Huaxia team also resolutely implemented the pre-match plan.
In the game against Syria, both Wang Hao and Yao Ming sat on the bench.
Wang Zhizhi started the game. Except for him, all the players were young players.
Even so, the Huaxia team has always maintained a lead of about 20, and the advantage is very obvious.
Even Yao Ming only showed his face in the second half.
As for Wang Hao, he never took off his training uniform from the beginning to the end, and he has no plans to play at all.
84:58
A big victory of 26 points, if you just look at the score, is actually far from enough.
According to the past performance of the Huaxia team, facing an opponent of Syria's level is definitely a crushing victory.
If you don't win by more than 50 points, you are underperforming.
It's just that this kind of meaning is not very significant. Strictly speaking, there is no difference between winning 1 point and 50 points.
If there is a difference, it is purely the intensity of the competition.
However, in this game, the young players got a lot of time and were fully tested.
Don't think that fans are all fools, everyone can understand.
In fact, at the beginning of the game, Wang Hao and Yao Ming hadn't been seen playing.
In fact, there were still many dissatisfied fans at the scene, and even shouted Wang Hao's name during the timeout.
However, after the on-site commentary mentioned the Huaxia team's opportunity, the fans quickly quieted down.
Training newcomers is beneficial to the national team, and fans naturally recognize it very much.
In the following group matches, the Huaxia team still maintained the same approach, using the old to lead the new.
Even the Iranian team and the Chinese Taipei team only forced Yao Ming out in the second half.
As for Wang Hao, he was not prepared to do anything at all.
Of course, in order to give the fans an explanation, in the game against Huaxia Taipei, the head coach gave him 2 minutes of playing time.
With Wang Hao's appearance, all the fans cheered.
Not only that, even the players of the Huaxia Taipei team followed suit and continued to applaud.
There were even players from the Huaxia Taipei team who took the initiative to give the ball to Wang Hao, hoping that Wang Hao would perform one.
If it wasn't for the 20-point difference, there would be no suspense in the game, and the referee would have to whistle for match-fixing.
Wang Hao had no choice but to perform a surpassing three-pointer that spanned half the court.
As a result, the cheers of the fans at the scene became louder.
Well, this made Wang Hao very embarrassed.
He participated in the Asian Championships because he was going to lie down and win, but the fans still cheered like this, isn't it embarrassing?
The Huaxia team successfully advanced to the second round with a record of three victories.
In the second round of the rematch, the Huaxia team faced Sange, Xiaozi, and Lebanon.
Speaking of which, these three opponents have some connections with the Huaxia team.
As the most populous country in the world, third brother is also a developing country. He has been targeting China.
Whenever there is news related to Huaxia in the world, the third brother has to jump out and do something.
It's like a student with average grades, but he is always pretentious and has to be compared with top students.
It can't be compared, he is just next to him.
Even in the past 20 years, apart from being able to surpass Huaxia with a small population, I don't see any achievements of the third brother.
As for the small days, there is no need to say more.
No matter what the game is, as long as there is a small day, the Huaxia players are all full of energy.
Some hatred, that is really not time to kill.
What's more, the heart of Huaxia who killed me in my childhood is not dead, and he often finds trouble for us.
Lebanon is fine, it's purely a conflict in the last Asian Championships, limited to the conflict on the basketball court.
The Huaxia team resolved these contradictions very well.
Wang Hao still didn't start the game, but Yao Ming joined the team's offensive system.
Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming formed the inside twin towers, completely dominating the audience, showing full dominance.
China 117:62 India
Huaxia 110: 71 Lebanon
China 108: 68 Little Days
Wang Hao was still fishing on the bench, and the Huaxia team still won the game without bloodshed.
Perhaps the national team saw the team's performance and recognized this approach.
Originally, after entering the semi-finals, Wang Hao had to start playing games like Yao Ming.
Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Last season's No.2 Asian Championships, that is, the opponent Lebanon who met the Huaxia team in the final.
When facing the Huaxia team again, Lebanon has no power to fight back, which has already explained the problem.
In Asia, there are almost no teams that can threaten the Huaxia team today.
After all, Wang Hao was still sitting on the Huaxia team's bench.
It can even be said that the champion of the Asian Championships will have no suspense in the next few years.
Unless Yao Ming and Wang Hao are absent from the game at the same time.
In the semi-finals, the Huaxia team ushered in the Qatar team, and in the other semi-finals, South Korea adjusted Lebanon.
Very interesting grouping, the contest between East Asian and West Asian teams.
As the No.2 and No.3 of the last Asian Championships, this is definitely the most worthy of attention.
The same is true.
From the very beginning of the game, the contest between the two teams seemed extremely fierce.
The South Korean team took advantage of the quickness of the players, while the Lebanese players focused on a physical confrontation.
It can be said that this is the representative of the typical style of play of Eastern and Western Asian teams.
As for the Huaxia team, in fact, there are some Xiaolingkuai who can't represent the East Asian teams.
In the end, with a better shot, he hit a crucial three-pointer.
The South Korean team narrowly beat Lebanon by two points and advanced to the final.
As for the other semi-finals, it was far less intense, and it could even be said that there was no suspense.
90:63
A big victory of nearly 30 points, this is not like a semi-final, it is clearly a massacre in the group stage.
Wang Hao simply spent 40 minutes on the bench.
As for the final finals, it caused the Huaxia team to have a small problem, which can also be said to be an old problem.
Facing the Korean team's Xiaolingkuai style of play and the full-court press, the Huaxia team couldn't hold on.
Especially in the case of the South Korean team's good outside shooting rate, it is even more surprising.
Throughout the first half, the South Korean team actually played back and forth with the Huaxia team, and even took the lead at one point.
To be honest, this is actually the way the Huaxia team used to play against strong European and American teams.
Now, it is used by the South Korean team against them.
The so-called Xiaokuailing's style of play is now getting farther and farther away from the Huaxia team, losing a little bit.
Of course, this can't be blamed on the Huaxia team.
There are super insiders like Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi who don't need it, so what kind of Xiaokuailing?
You said that the peak O'Neal was given to the Warriors, do you think the Warriors are willing to take the initiative to slow down?
The so-called team style of play is actually related to the team lineup, which needs to be taken into consideration.
The game was extremely stalemate. According to Wang Hao's thinking, this is a very good moment.
For the Huaxia team's experience.
In the previous games, the Huaxia team played too easily, and it really didn't have much training effect.
Unfortunately, his opinion is not very important.
Whether it is the team leader of the national team or the head coach Wang Fei, at this time, they all seem a bit conservative.
Their first task is to guarantee the championship.
Of course, this cannot be said to be a wrong idea. After all, this is the final, and it is still the final at home.
It's just that, Wang Hao thinks, maybe they should trust their players more.
In the end, Wang Hao made his appearance.
In the third quarter, Wang Hao came off the bench.
Because he sat on the bench for too long, he can't guarantee that he can have a good touch as soon as he comes up.
However, he can also help the team.
First of all, he took over the possession of the ball, and he was not afraid of the South Korean team's pressing.
The South Korean team pressed too hard and was directly passed by him, not even giving the opponent a chance to defend from the outside.
By the time the South Korean team reacted, he had reached the three-point line.
The supplementary defense at this time will inevitably create an emptiness inside, and Yao Ming is already waiting for Wang Hao's pass.
Not only in offense, but also in defense, Wang Hao performed well.
His fast rotation and defense, several times the South Korean team ran out of the opportunity, let him stop abruptly.
In 5 minutes, under his leadership, the Huaxia team directly established a 15-point advantage.
The complete Huaxia team has no opponents in Asia.
106:84
Without any surprise, the Huaxia team won the Asian Championship again.
And this championship also ensured that the Huaxia team will successfully get a place in next year's Olympic Games.
Speaking of this game, there is actually another episode.
In the Korean team, there is also a big man with a height of more than 220 cm, Ha Seung Jin.
This guy was blown up by the Korean media.
Even, the South Korean media found Wang Hao and asked him about He Shengzhen.
For this matter, Wang Hao did not take action because it was unnecessary.
Ha Seung Jin did have a chance to face Yao Ming in the game, and even had high hopes from the South Korean team.
Unfortunately, Yao Ming really taught him a lesson.
Even, because of Ha Seung-jin's appearance, the speed of the South Korean team was greatly affected.
If they were really going to fall into a positional battle, the South Korean team would have no chance at all against the Huaxia team.
In the end, Ha Seung-jin ended up with a few fouls.
The body is only the basis for standing on the basketball court, and one has to rely on one's own ability.
In the history of the NBA, in the history of world basketball, there has never been a shortage of big men with excellent physical talents.
It's just that there are still a small number of people who can type it out.
Because Wang Hao's appearance data is too little, the final honors of the Asian Championships naturally missed him.
To be honest, he doesn't care, the honor of the NBA has already been softened, not to mention the Asian Championships.
Yao Ming finally won the MVP of the Asian Championships.
