Chapter 236 Advance to the semi-finals
The victory in the first game not only made the Chinese men's basketball team extremely excited about the team's strength and state, but also had confidence in the final result of this Asian Championship.In their view, the team is far from being at its best and not showing its full strength.
Ying Xiong received calls from Sun Jing and Shao Ziqiang respectively.On the phone, Sun Jing said that she was collecting inspiration for writing in the west, but she would never miss the final of the Asian Championships.
Sun Jing's words benefited Ying Xiong very much. She believed that Ying Xiong and the Chinese men's basketball team would reach the final.This is her optimism for the Chinese men's basketball team, and it is also her trust in Xiong.
Shao Ziqiang said on the phone that he was very satisfied with Yingxiong's first performance.He believes that Ying Xiong did not insist on attacking himself, but organized his teammates first, which is very correct.He still didn't forget to tell Ying Xiong not to underestimate the enemy, to pay attention to every opponent, anything can happen.
The schedule of this year's Asian Championships is a bit tight. The group stage is basically one game per day, which is equivalent to playing two back-to-back games.This puts higher demands on the physical condition of each team.
Fortunately, the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is strong and there are many rotations. The main players in the group stage will not play a lot of time, so physical fitness is not a problem.
The next day, at the same game time as yesterday - 19:00, the Chinese men's basketball team will welcome the second opponent in the group stage - the Kazakhstan team.The venue of the game is still in Tianjin Gymnasium.
The Kazakhstan team is not considered a strong team in this year's Asian Championships, but in terms of strength, it is definitely stronger than the Indian team.After all, the strength of this competition is worse than that of the Indian team, not much.
Yang Jian from CCTV and Xu Jicheng, a basketball expert, explained the game.
In this game, the Tianjin Gymnasium is still full of people.Unlike their group stage matches where the number of spectators was very small, as long as there is a Chinese men's basketball game, the stadium must be full.This also shows the high popularity of the host team.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Chinese national team is the same as the previous game, still a combination of twin towers + double control + a striker.Ying Xiong leads the second team.
After the start of the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team didn't know whether it was because they underestimated the enemy, or because they were a little inattentive. They made continuous mistakes in outside defense, and were seized by the opponent to hit two consecutive 3-pointers. They fell behind 0:6 to start the game.
However, the men's basketball team quickly adjusted, using the twin towers on the inside as the fulcrum to launch a strong attack, and immediately stabilized the situation.Since then, the two teams have entered a confrontation, but the offensive efficiency is not very high.
With 4 minutes and 32 seconds left in the first quarter, Ying Xiong was substituted for Sun Yue.At this time, the score on the field was 14:12, and the Chinese team at home was leading by 2 points.When Ying Xiong came on stage, there were warm cheers at the scene.Many fans present were all for Ying Xiong.
But as soon as Ying Xiong came on the field, he got a foul on the defensive end.
The Kazakhstan team broke into the inside and was interfered by the UAE and missed. Wang Zhizhi grabbed the rebound and gave it to Liu Wei to advance.
Liu Wei dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to Ying Xiong at the top of the arc on the left.Ying Xiong held the ball and handed over to the low position of Alian, and Alian missed a back hit.Wang Zhizhi hit the rebound and Ying Xiong got it.
Ying Xiong and Wang Zhizhi pick and roll, a false screen, and the latter immediately goes down.This move fooled the opposing defender.Ying Xiong's pass was immediately delivered to Wang Zhizhi, who was down, and the latter easily got the ball to the basket!
The defender of the Kazakhstan team faced Liu Wei and wanted to pass the ball to Ying Xiong's defender, but the pass made a mistake and was intercepted by Ying Xiong.
After stealing the ball, Ying Xiong quickly advanced, like a powerful motorcycle, and started instantly, causing the fans on the scene to scream again and again.
The players of the Kazakhstan team originally wanted to chase back, but they gave up when they saw that they could not catch up.
The screams of the fans at the scene reached the maximum decibels, and they expected Ying Xiong to make a dunk that was even more explosive than the first game, because there was no one in the front court at this time.
After rushing into the 3-point line, Ying Xiong slowly slowed down, and a large number of dunks flashed through his mind.In the end, he chose one of them, took the ball to the basket, took off with both feet, fully stretched his body, swung his right arm, and dunked the ball hard!
"Big windmill! Ying Xiong is here for a big windmill dunk!" Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, shouted excitedly.
The scene instantly turned into a sea of joy... The adrenaline hormones of the boys soared, and the blood flow in the body accelerated...
The Kazakhstan team continued to miss... Since Yingxiong came on the court, their shots became more inaccurate, and the basket seemed to be covered.
Yi Jianlian received the rebound and handed it to Ying Xiong to advance.
Ying Xiong held the ball to the top of the arc on the left, passed the defender with a crossover, and suddenly passed the ball from behind. Zhu Fangyu from the bottom corner received it and made a direct 3-pointer—a hit!
The Kazakhstan team made a mistake again. Liu Wei stole the ball and pushed forward, giving it to Ying Xiong who followed up and made a layup!
A wave of 9:0 offensive climax instantly widened the point difference to double digits.The Kazakhstan team had no choice but to request a timeout!
The morale of the Chinese team has been fully raised, and they have an absolute advantage on the court!The fans at the scene were in high spirits and enthusiasm, and the roof of the stadium was almost lifted by the cheers.
After the timeout, the Chinese team replaced Su Wei and Hu Xuefeng, and replaced Wang Zhizhi and Liu Wei.
The game continued.Here the Kazakhstan team finally managed to score 2 points with a center hook under the basket, breaking the offensive drought.
Hu Xuefeng dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong who was in the high position.
Ying Xiong turned his back to defend his own player, suddenly turned around like a top, wiped the opponent, and went all the way inside. After attracting a pinch attack, he suddenly sent it to the basket...
The UAE is like a fighter jet, soaring in the air, catching the ball with both hands, and dunking the ball into the basket hard!
"Ying Xiong and Ah Lian connected! This cooperation is so beautiful! Ying Xiong is just too good!" Yang Jian couldn't help shouting.
After the goal was scored, the Kazakhstan team seemed to lose their soul and lost their resistance in an instant. At the end of the first quarter, they were already 18 points behind the Chinese team.
In the second quarter of the game, Ying Xiong played for 2 minutes, and after a 2:7 spurt, he was replaced by Wang Lei.He was not substituted until the end of the first half.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led Kazakhstan by 58 points at 36:22.Judging from the performance on the field, no one would think that the Kazakhstan team still has a chance to regain the score.
In the second half of the game, Ying Xiong only played for more than 3 minutes before the end of the third quarter, and did not play the entire game in the final quarter.
In the end, the host Chinese team defeated the opponent with a huge advantage of 115:74 and 41 points, ushered in two consecutive victories, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
