Basketball Myth: Super Guard

On September 15, the Asian Championships finally started.

According to the competition system, the Asian Championships are divided into three rounds. The first round is the group stage. The 16 teams are divided into four groups, with four teams in each group. A single round-robin competition is adopted, and the ranking is based on record points.

The top three teams in the final points advance to the second round, which is the "round robin".

In fact, the second round is somewhat similar to the first round. The first round is divided into four groups ABCD, the top three in each group qualify, the top three in the AB group form the E group, and the top three in the CD group form the F group. There are six teams each in Group E and Group F, and a single round-robin system is adopted, except that the teams that have played against each other in the group stage will no longer play against each other.

In other words, although the second round is a "round robin", in fact, each team only plays 3 games, and each team plays one game with each of the three teams in different groups.

In the end, the results of the first and second rounds are accumulated, and the ranking is also based on the record points. The top four teams in Group E and Group F qualify for the third round.

The third round is the knockout.

Four teams each from Group E and Group F qualify for the quarterfinals. The quarterfinals will be cross-eliminated to determine the quarterfinals, followed by the semi-finals to determine the final two teams, which will be contested by the two teams. champion.

In addition, there are qualifying matches, such as 9-12 qualifying, 5-8 qualifying ... but these are also a placebo, better than nothing.

The Chinese team was placed in Group D, and the other three teams in their group were Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and the Philippines.

......

September 15th, 7:30 pm.

Wuhan Sports Center.

The game has not yet started, but there are already many fans in the audience, almost all of them Chinese fans. They are either waving small flags or holding signs to cheer for the Chinese team.

Players from both sides have already played. This is the first group match of the Chinese team. The opponent is the Philippines team.

Among the four teams in Group D, the Chinese team is undoubtedly the strongest, and the only one that can compete with the Chinese team is the Philippines. As for Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, they are basically just going through the motions. They belong to the super team, and their strength is weak, far inferior to the Chinese team and the Philippines team.

The first game of the group stage was against the Philippines. Coach Deng Huade attached great importance to it. As long as he beat the Philippines, he would basically be able to guarantee the first place in the group.

And, this is the first game of the group stage, and it must be won.

At this time, the players from both sides were warming up on the court, looking at each other across half the court. The Philippine team's players had solemn expressions, each with a stern face, as if they were facing a big enemy.

The Chinese team is also very serious here.

The Philippines is one of the first countries in Asia to use "naturalized" players. Marcio Rachit, Christopher Lutz, Marcus Dorset, etc. in the Philippine team's lineup are all naturalized players. Among them, Christopher Lutz and Marcus Dorset are also the main players of the Philippine team.

As for the Philippine local players, it is worth mentioning only the Philippine League MVP, Jim Arapag.

It can be said that the Philippine team mainly relies on naturalized players to play, which makes many teams sneer and spurn them.

If it is only a local Philippine player, it is naturally not worth mentioning, but the Philippine team has many naturalized players, which still makes the Chinese team feel some pressure.

Of course, Qin Hao was very relaxed.

These so-called "naturalized" players are just average. The "naturalized" crazy team of the Philippines will wait until a few years later, when Clarkson is naturalized, before they can really hug a thigh. At this time, Dorset, Rachit, and Lutz are not bad at all, but they are not at the same level as Qin Hao.

After a warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

at the same time.

In front of the TV, in front of the computer... Countless fans are watching this game, and many Chinese fans are nervous and looking forward to it, hoping that the Chinese team can get a good start.

Southern Province.

Yunlong Basketball Club.

Because this is the offseason, many players are not there, but Jiang Feng and Wang Lei have been staying in the team and training every day.

In the summer, I went to the United States and participated in the "Rising Star Training Camp" organized by Qin Hao, which was very touching to them.

They deeply realize that compared with NBA players, they are too far behind. Whether it is physical talent, technology or tactical literacy, they are all too poor.

So after coming back, they didn't dare to go on vacation like other players, and they didn't even have time to accompany their girlfriends. They buried their heads in the arena every day, sweating.

Today's training is over, Jiang Feng and Wang Lei are sitting in front of the TV, watching the game.

Looking at Qin Hao wearing the national team jersey on TV, Wang Lei said enviously, "If only I could also enter the national team and play on behalf of the national team."

"There will be that day." Jiang Feng said. He talked with Qin Hao about the national team some time ago. He and Wang Lei both hoped to enter the national team and wear the national team's jersey, but from Qin Hao's words, he did not It was heard that Qin Hao did not seem to want them to enter the national team prematurely.

After contacting Qin Hao and Lan Xie for the protracted negotiation, Jiang Feng understood what Qin Hao meant by his three conditions.

So he is not so anxious now.

What's more, strength is the last word. He and Wang Lei's strength is not strong enough. Even if they enter the national team at this time, how much can they play a role in guarding the water dispenser?

Yuyang City.

In Qin Hao's house, parents, uncles, grandparents, grandparents and grandparents are all there, all of them put away the TV, waiting to watch the game between the Chinese team and the Philippines team.

For Qin Hao's parents, grandparents, they watched the NBA game "unconsciously", but it was difficult to resonate with them. Except Qin Hao, they were all a group of foreigners. What's the point?

But the national team's game is different.

This is the representative of the national team, which is composed of Chinese players. Even if they do not understand the rules of basketball, it will not affect their resonance.

"Zhenguo." Qin Hao's grandfather asked, "Can the Chinese team win?"

"That's for sure." Qin Zhenguo laughed and said, "Isn't there your grandson here? Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Everyone also nodded.

At the same time, there are more places and more people who are paying attention to this game, such as Peng Jun, Guo Kai, Yuan Xiaogang, Jiang Fangping...

Wuhan Sports Center.

The game was about to start, Qin Hao and others surrounded Coach Deng Huade.

"Qin Hao, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Zhaoxu, you guys will start." Coach Deng Huade arranged and spread out the tactical board, "The opponent's height is not high, we have a great advantage in the interior, Wang Zhizhi and Zhang Zhaoxu can play a little more. , pay attention to protect the rebound."

Saying that, he looked at Qin Hao and the three of them, "Qin Hao, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, you should shoot more three-pointers and try to open up the space as much as possible."

"Yes."

"clear."

Several people responded.

After a while, the game begins.
