Bishop of the Devil

For various reasons, all players obeyed Richard's instructions unconditionally.

…

In the blink of an eye, time has entered September, and the Asian Championships is about to begin.

Richard must have learned about the schedule of the Asian Championships before.

A total of 16 teams were shortlisted for the Asian Championships, and then divided into four groups to compete in the group stage.

The top three teams in the group then play a rematch to determine the top two teams in the group.

The remaining eight teams will then start the knockout rounds.

Until the end to decide the champion.

The schedule is quite simple, and there are not many participating teams, only sixteen. It can be completed in less than a month, and it will not affect Richard's subsequent NBA preseason games.

…

Before the game started, Richard took Tiana around Harbin, eating butchered vegetables, pork stewed with vermicelli, pot-wrapped pork, and even took her to have a barbecue...

What made Richard dumbfounded was that Tiana was obsessed with roasted silkworm chrysalises.

…

On September 3, the opening game of the Asian Men’s Basketball Championship kicked off, with the Chinese men’s basketball team playing against the Syrian national team.

As a result, Richard didn't pay much attention to this game. The men's basketball players on the field directly achieved an astonishing score difference of 123:52.

Richard was dumbfounded. He knew that the Chinese men's basketball team was very strong. At least at this point in time, it was basically beating Asia...

But this is too damn strong. In the first game, there was a score difference of more than 70 points, and the opponent's total score was not even half of the men's basketball team.

What Richard didn't know was that under normal circumstances, when the men's basketball team played Syria in the opening game, it would score a super high score of 103:51. Now Yao Ming, Dazhi and other core strengths have improved. Compared with normal circumstances, The improvement is not small...

Under such circumstances, a score difference of more than 70 points is not unbelievable.

Wait until the second game of the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team will face the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team...

This time, I may have felt that we are all compatriots, blood is thicker than water, and the men's basketball team was a little lethargic, but in the end, the score was 112:65, a huge victory over the opponent.

powerful!

Really invincible!

Richard feels that such a Chinese men's basketball team will definitely have a chance to reach the top half of the playoffs if it is put into the NBA.

It sounds like an insult to the men's basketball team, but if you think about it carefully, it really can't be called an insult. Looking around the world, except for the United States, which country's men's basketball team can guarantee that their national team can enter the NBA playoffs? Half zone?

In the third game of the group stage, the men's basketball team faced Iran, and the result was another beating.

Iran is considered a relatively strong team in Asia, but in the end, it was unable to parry in front of this men's basketball team. In the end, it was given a score of 124:72...

After the group stage was over, Richard wondered what he was doing in Harbin.

It seemed that nothing happened to him. Every game he just sat on the sidelines drinking tea and waiting for the game to end.

It seems that even if I don't come, the Chinese men's basketball team can easily hand over these stinky tomatoes and rotten eggs...

The strength of these teams is really weak, extremely weak.

It is no exaggeration to say that maybe any of those NCAA national championship-level teams can win these national teams.

…

After three games in the group stage, the men's basketball team was like a demon. They defeated their opponents by a huge score in every game, giving their opponents no hope of victory at all.

It is simply so strong that it makes people despair...

When he saw the list of opponents in the next rematch, Richard laughed out loud.

The opponent turned out to be the Indian team, and they also played basketball?

As a result, in this game against the Indian team, the men's basketball team beat their opponents again. The score difference of 132:57 directly stunned the Indian team players.

This fucking competition is not at the same level at all. Why are they participating in this Asian Championship? How about just giving the championship to the Chinese team directly...

In the second game of the rematch, the opponent was Lebanon. Although Da Zhi's touch was not very good this time, he ended up with a score difference of nearly 40 points.

In the third game of the rematch, the opponent is Little Japan...

As a result, when the game ended, the captain of the Japanese team burst into tears. He was crying so hard that no one could pull him up while sitting on the floor.

Because they lost so miserably in this game, the captain of the Japanese team knew that they might lose to the Chinese men's basketball team, but he never expected that they would lose so miserably.

Seeing the captain of the Japanese team crying so miserably, Richard became happy.

I'm afraid that even if their Japanese team makes a lineup of Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kaede Rukawa and Takenori Akagi from the comics, they still won't be a match for the Chinese men's basketball team. There's nothing to cry about...

Unless they bring out the five aliens in Kuroko Basketball, the Japanese team will never win.

…

There were three more victories in the rematch, and the Chinese fans who came to watch the game were so excited that they forgot everything.

Good guys, they knew the Chinese men's basketball team was strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong...

When they played Qatar in the semi-finals, the men's basketball team easily defeated their opponents and qualified for the finals.

The other finalist team is South Korea.

Under normal circumstances, in this Harbin Asian Championship, the Chinese team's opponent in the final is actually South Korea.

And in the end, we didn’t actually win by many points. The score of 106:96 was a ten-point difference.

From this point of view, the strength of the Korean team is actually not bad. After all, it can compete with the Asian hegemons. This is also the level of the first-tier Asian teams.

Richard thought for a while, how could he say that, enemies are always on the same road? !

He didn't expect that he would encounter the Korean team in this Asian Championship...

He was thinking about how to deal with the Korean team.

Players from both sides began to enter the stadium, and Richard followed Yao Ming. What he didn't expect was that many people on the scene booed him.

"……Smecta!"

"..."

Richard couldn't understand what was being said, but he was definitely Korean. Looking at the scene again, Richard was shocked to find that there were quite a lot of Koreans at the scene tonight.

Almost one-third of the fans at the scene accounted for it, no wonder the boos were so loud.

South Korea is not far from the Northeast, and it is convenient for these Korean fans to come. Now that South Korea has finally reached the finals, it is normal for so many Korean fans to come to the scene.

"Are these Koreans seeking death?" Dazhi was not far away from Richard and turned to look at Richard.

"Knowing that they are seeking death, why don't you give me a hard cut on them!"

"Tonight, leave a deep impression on them, Dayao, that He Shengzhen, give me a good meal tonight."

"If we don't clean up, these people will go to heaven!"

Richard said with an unhappy expression. He was booed at his home stadium. It's strange that Richard can feel happy now.

…

"Beep!" the referee blew the whistle, and the starting players from both sides began to appear.

In the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team, all three centers were sent on the court.

Now Da Zhi can't actually be regarded as a center player. His style is that of a pure outside player.

Yao Ming plays center, and Battelle plays the second center position.

There are also Liu Wei and Hu Weidong in the backcourt.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming hit He Shengzhen with a fierce dunk.

Although Yao Ming didn't say anything, Richard was also very dissatisfied when these baseball fans booed him. After coming up, he directly gave his opponent He Shengzhen a good look.

He Shengzhen almost got dunked, but after he stabilized his figure, his face didn't look very good.

"Bah, what the hell, you're just pretending to be a big guy like us." Hu Weidong took a sip and said disdainfully.

Yao Ming also glanced at He Shengzhen with a disdainful smile.

Ha Seung-jin's strength is pretty good among Asian centers. Otherwise, it is unlikely that the Korean team will make it to the finals.

But compared to Yao Ming, it is definitely not enough to catch up. You must know that Yao Ming is now qualified to compete with O'Neal for the league's No. 1 center. He Shengzhen, Yao Ming can beat him with just one hand.

In the next offensive round, the Chinese men's basketball team showed its strength far beyond that of the Korean team.

The South Korean team was originally considered a strong point inside, but Ha Shengzhen was blocked by Yao Ming twice in the opening game and failed to score a single point.

Under such circumstances, they naturally could only seek to play from the outside, which allowed them to score some points.

Richard sat on the sidelines and sighed. Chinese basketball is actually not weak in the inside.

But the outside line is a bit weak, and it doesn't have much advantage in Asia, let alone being comparable to the United States.

It is for this reason that Richard wants to train Sun Yue...

Taking advantage of the fact that Sun Yue is still young, we should train him well. Not to mention making him the world's top 3D player, even if he can reach a level slightly weaker than Prince, it will also improve the overall strength of Chinese basketball.

In Richard's view, Sun Yue's template is Prince, and the best growth direction is also Prince...

Both of them are as thin as monkeys, but even though Prince is thin, no one dares to underestimate his defensive strength. Coupled with his good offensive firepower, he is quite easy to use on the court.

If Sun Yue could reach Prince's level, Richard would be able to laugh out of his dreams...

But now Sun Yue was blocked by the Aoshen team from participating in the game, which made Richard feel quite miserable.

It seems that I have to find a way to talk to the Aoshen team and ask them to release him. At least Sun Yue must participate in next year's Olympics.
