Chapter 89 Beating Asia's No. 1 Center

One day later, the men's basketball team competed with the Philippines team.
The Philippine team is much weaker than the Jordanian team.
Although this men's basketball team in history lost, it only lost by 5 points, and due to lack of experience, it led by 11 points in the first half but was reversed in the second half.
As a result, it was now played in three quarters, and the opponent was easily defeated 65 to 44.
Lin Ying's statistics were mediocre, only contributing 11 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks.
Well, the reaction of the Filipino players was exactly the same as when the men's basketball team played a full-court confrontation.
Lin Ying's defense is so suffocating!
Can you imagine a pick-and-roll on the opposite side, Lin Ying switches defense and directly presses and intercepts the Philippines' leading defender Alapag?
That was simply a devastating blow to the opponent's confidence.
After the two games, the Chinese team's record is 2 wins and 0 losses, which is the same as Iran's record and tied for first place in the group.
The last game of the group stage is also the battle for the top spot in the group.
This game was extremely fierce, and Hadas had the advantage in the confrontation with Zhang Kai.
Moreover, in this game, the Iranian team also had a surprise player named Amy Bahrami, who is Bahrami’s brother.
Chen Lei couldn't guard against him.
And he was very smart in playing, avoiding Lin Ying.
If Lin Ying didn't come up, he would hit it by himself. As soon as Lin Ying came up, he would push the ball towards Haddadi under the basket.
As a result, after the whole game, the Iranian team beat the Chinese team by 3 points 79 to 76.
Lin Ying scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, but still failed to help the men's basketball team win the game.
On the Iranian team, Bahrami was in a sluggish state and made 0 of 5 shots, but his brother Amy Bahrami scored 16 points and 8 assists.
Of course, the one who performed the most viciously was Haddadi.
At this time, he was only 22 years old, with a height of 2.18 meters and a weight of only 113 kilograms.
But this size still blew Zhang Kai away, and there was even a direct dunk scene. In the end, he scored 31 points and 10 rebounds.
A very interesting scene is that after the game, Old Karl took his "part-time translator" O'Connor to communicate tactics with Ah Dijiang.
Ah Dijiang is available for free charging in China.
After losing this game, it was a bit of a shock to the domestic fans.
Of course, the main thing is... to spray Zhang Kai.
It is impossible to discover the emergence of the golden generation of the Iranian team.
What they think more about is that teams from West Asia can also lose?!
To be realistic, this year in history, the men's basketball team finished tenth in the Asian Championships, and the comments online were basically trash about the men's basketball team, saying it was closer to the national football team.
Many of the people who said those words had never seen the game at all, and they didn’t even know who was sent.
So don't think too rationally about the fans at this time. If they were rational, things like Liu Xiang in 2008 would not have happened.
But it's actually not bad. After all, in the group stage, if you lose one game, you can still play in the following games.
The competition format of the Asian Championships is that after the group stage, it will go directly to the quarterfinals.
The top two of the original four groups ABCD were divided into two groups EF, and then A1 played D2 for the quarter-finals.
The Chinese team is second in the group, and their opponent is...the South Korean team!
No, this is actually quite good.
After determining the opponents in the quarter-finals, the attention of domestic fans immediately increased!
In competitions across Asia, the two opponents that fans are most concerned about during this period are South Korea and Japan!
Moreover, this Korean team is also highly anticipated by fans in the Republic of Korea.
The main reason is naturally that they have Hesheng Town!
You may not believe it. In 2002, the Korean media claimed that "Ha Shengzhen surpasses Yao Ming of the same age in all aspects!"
Universe Han is by no means in vain.
Although the next year after that, Yao Ming personally defeated their number one center in the world in the Asian Championships.
Then two years later, Yao Ming led the team to score twice, breaking the Korean team's largest score difference of 44 points in history.
Since then, the Korean media has calmed down.
But times have changed, and Ha Seung-jin participated in the 2004 draft and was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 46th overall pick.
Although he couldn't survive in the end and couldn't get a contract this year, he had no choice but to return to China to play.
But! The Korean media compared him with Yi Jianlian and Lin Ying again!
"Asia's No. 1 center!"
"Bounce ability, strength, weight, height, physical strength, mental strength, character, all aspects surround Yi Jianlian's existence!"
"Who is Lin Ying? You are not worthy of carrying shoes!"

Worthy of being Cosmic Han.
The clamor from the Korean media also made fans angry.
In addition to online scolding, more fans still choose to go to Japan to watch the game live.
Watching this kind of game live is not as enjoyable as watching it live.
Of course, there were also many people here who came to watch Lin Ying play ball.
Although his draft pick was not as good as that of Yi Jianlian, his performance in the Crazy Three was so tough that it was difficult for people to dislike him.
CCTV may have finished the dragon boat race and arranged a live broadcast.
Su Qun and Zhang Weiping, the two most famous commentators at the moment, are both on the show.
The war between China and South Korea has attracted a lot of attention.
Domestic fans who could go to the venue did so, and those who could not go also chose to watch the game online in large numbers.
In fact, the number of viewers of CCTV + certain wave together was more than that of the previous crazy three games.
There is no way, in the eyes of the Chinese audience, they just like to watch the national team's games more.
Even among these viewers, they may not just be fans. Those who usually like to watch national team games will stop on the channel to watch for a while.
Koreans are so hateful.
During the opening ceremony, the lineups of both sides were announced one after another.
For the Korean team, Ha Seung-jin, Kim Joo-sung, Kim Min-soo, Yang Dong-geun, and Kim Seung-hyun.
The South Korean team won all three games in the group stage and its two-point shooting percentage was as high as 61%, the highest in this Asian Championship.
Ha Shengzhen averaged 19 points and 9 rebounds in three games.
Well, their opponents in the group stage are Hong Kong, China, Taipei and Syria.
It is worth mentioning that a year ago, the Korean team changed from old to new, and the Chinese men's basketball team was stopped in the quarterfinals at the Doha Asian Games, setting its worst result.
Now that they are facing the men's basketball team again, their biggest goal is naturally to complete their revenge.
Now that the men's basketball team is average, this is their best chance.
On the Chinese team's side, perhaps because of previous exchanges with Karl, Adijian put up a shorter lineup for this game.
He replaced Zhang Kai with Chen Chen, who had performed well as a substitute, pushing Yi Li to the fourth position and Lin Ying to the fifth position!
This is the same as the University of Texas back then, which is about to compete with the Korean team.
But as a result, the average height of the Chinese team on the field was instantly shorter.
Moreover, with Yi Li as the power forward, Lin Ying will have a hard time on the defensive end.
Although, this is actually a choice made out of desperation, as long as Wang Lei or Ding Jinhui are around, Ah Dijiang doesn't have to do this.
But look at the look in Old Karl's eyes on the stage, it's not just as simple as providing some tactical suggestions to Ah Dijiang.
He wanted to see Lin Ying's limit!
After all, when it comes to one-on-one defense, Lin Ying defended Oden alone in the NCAA semifinals, so it shouldn't be a problem to defend against Ha Shengzhen.
But what if we also need to take into account assisting defense?
Lin Ying: You old guy is not a human being!
Before the game started, the camera scanned the stands.
There are still a lot of female fans, and there seem to be more female fans in Japan!
Obviously, they came here to support Lin Ying and Yang Ming, a couple with good looks.
By the way, let’s also look down on the Korean neighbors who they despise each other.
Chinese fans plus Japanese female fans took up three-quarters of the venue, and the small group of Koreans looked very conspicuous.
True Japan’s home stadium in China!
The game started soon. Ha Shengzhen used his height to push the ball back to half court, and the Korean team took the lead in attacking.
Lin Ying's defensive method against He Shengzhen was the same as Oden's, which was to defend in front.
It's just that the starting point for this wave is different from the original defense against Oden.
There is no way to defend against Oden, but now we defend based on the technical characteristics of Hesheng Town.
Ha Shengzhen weighs more than Oden, weighing 138 kilograms, and is 221cm tall, which is also taller than Oden.
But he is very slow and can be understood as a 1.1x speed Pittman.
It's basically impossible for a player like this to turn around and catch a lob to the basket.
So this move completely prevented him from catching the ball and attacking.
Moreover, there is another advantage of going forward. If Yi Li's side is broken through, his help defense can come up.
Sure enough, the Korean team's Liang Donggen tried to pull Ha Shengzhen but failed, so he directly signaled Kim Joo Sung to pull out and create a pick-and-roll.
After breaking it open, Liang Donggen took advantage of the trend to break through and squeeze past Yi Li before heading inside.
As the "Korean Hu Weidong", Yang Donggen's strength has always been unique in the Korean team. His shooting is a great art and his breakthrough is not bad.
It's just that as soon as he passed Yi Li, Lin Ying stepped in to help.
There was no hesitation in getting up, and the long arms were spread out like a net to cover it.
Originally, at this time, the basket must be empty for Ha Shengzhen. As long as the ball passes, Ha Shengzhen can dunk directly no matter how slow he is.
But... I can’t give it to you!
Lin Ying completely strangled his passing route and forced him to stop directly.
He has never seen the Chinese men's basketball team be so fast defensively and so pressing!
He took the ball and tried to turn left and right on the spot.
"Snapped!"
Lin Ying's long arms saw the right moment and cut the ball off!
It's just that the Chinese team's quick break mentality was a bit weak. Lin Ying looked up and didn't see anyone rushing out at first glance.
Fortunately, he had clues in his ball control skills and took the initiative to advance forward and avoid Liang Donggen's counterattack.
At this time, a teammate finally rushed out.
Easy to stand!
This guy is really thin, but he is also really fast. He is out like lightning in a "whoosh".
Lin Ying's pass arrived and led Yi Li to continue to rush forward.
As soon as he entered the penalty area in the frontcourt, Yi Li directly took the ball and jumped into the air.
It's time to show off your talent, Spare Ribs Flyer!
"Bang!"
A two-handed slam.
His body, coupled with his movements, has a strong visual sense!
As the only player in this team besides Lin Ying who can make it to the national team, his talent is indeed not bad.
The gif of that overhand dunk in the Asian Championships that year was hailed as one of the best dunks in the history of men's basketball, and it also made fans think a lot.
2 to 0.
The Chinese team gave the Koreans a disastrous start.
There is some disbelief in the Korean team.
This time it was not Yang Donggeun, but Kim Seunghyun. He directly called Ha Shengjin to pull out for a pick-and-roll, and then used the pick-and-roll to make an emergency stop jumper from mid-range.
As mentioned earlier, although this Korean team's three-point shooting is not as accurate as it was in its peak era, it has excellent mid-range shooting ability.
Kim Min-soo's shooting posture is very stable.
But as soon as he shot the ball, Lin Ying's long arm had already reached him!
"boom!"
Just a big hat on the side!
In an instant, the cheers of Chinese fans were heard on the sidelines, mixed with the screams of female fans.
Lin Ying, successfully switched defenses for two consecutive rounds!
And don’t think that the fans’ reaction is too big. Steals and blocks are all very intuitive defensive scenes, and the visual impact is also full!
Yang Ming on the outside quickly got the ball with quick eyes and hands, and then quickly advanced the fast break.
The Chinese team suddenly formed a situation of 5 versus 4.
Yang Ming advanced to the frontcourt and stopped the ball, then he took aim at Lin Ying cutting in from the middle!
Hesheng Town, I can’t come back!
He threw the ball directly over the basket.
The quality of this pass is probably the best since Lin Ying has played so many goals!
Yang·Chinese White Chocolate·Ming, if nothing else, his passing ability is definitely NBA level!
Naturally, Lin Ying would not miss this opportunity. He grabbed the ball in the air and threw it towards the basket with both hands.
Over there, Jin Zhou originally wanted to come over to help defend, but gave up immediately after seeing Lin Ying's posture.
No one wants to use this as a backdrop!
"Bang!"
A powerful and heavy dunk.
CP is online!
This time, the female fans on the sidelines shouted very loudly.
Hormones are overflowing!
The head coach of the Korean team, Xu Zai, was immediately stunned.
This defensive dominance?
Like Liang Donggen, he has never seen Chinese players provide such great pressure on the defensive end.
This is different from Yao Ming's intimidation under the basket, which covers at least half of the court!
Originally, the overall characteristic of the Korean team was to be fast, but Lin Ying made it impossible for them to be fast!
The game continues, and this time the South Korean team switches to Kim Min-soo to hold the ball and attack.
This is a trial one by one!
The same is true for Yi Li.
Moreover, he directly knocked Yi Li away from his position.
Kim Min-soo is a 2-meter forward, a mixture of Argentinian and Korean, and his outstanding confrontation ability is his specialty.
But as soon as he got to the basket and was about to get up for a layup, Lin Ying had already switched defense in front of him.
He is not Kim Min-soo or Yang Dong-geun. He has very good passing ability. In this case, he can only force it.
Then, he discovered that his strengths seemed to have become extremely short.
Lin Ying's confrontation was much stronger than him!
His layup turned into a forced toss.
"Dang!"
He is almost a non-conformist.
Yi Li flew inside to grab the rebound, and then passed it to Yang Ming on the other side.
The Chinese team pushed for a defensive counterattack again, and Lin Ying still followed up in the middle, receiving Yang Ming's pass and dribbling into the three-point line.
The Korean team directly tightened its defense this time.
It was at this time that Lin Ying showed off another sexy pass after his crotchless pass in the summer league game against the Grizzlies.
A "no.look.pass" passed the ball directly to Chen Chen who was following up from the right.
The reason why Chen Chen was brought up in a small lineup was because of his three-point ability. He averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game in the CBA last season with a 50% shooting rate.
Including this Asian Championship, he was also very accurate in previous games.
He didn't let him miss the ball either.
"Whoa!"
He raised the knife and dropped it.
The Chinese team started perfectly with 7-0!
The Japanese female fans on the sidelines were already waving their little fists and shaking their bodies in excitement.
The more cool you are at passing the ball, the more fans will like it.
Yang Ming's success in attracting fans isn't just based on his looks.
Karl also looked slightly excited at this time.
Sure enough, we still have to find a way to create some difficulty for Lin Ying!
In the past few rounds, he saw that Lin Ying's confrontation was getting better after gaining weight, and he may have specially trained his speed. His speed was similar to what he felt during the original trial training, and he was relatively fast in the paint.
Coupled with that long arm, the defensive effect is very good.
His tactical system is to flank the ball holder, and Lin Ying's characteristics are very suitable!
Not to mention the first pass that is like a fast break propeller, it is simply an "offensive and defensive conversion engine"!
The South Korean team failed to score a mid-range attack in the frontcourt, but the Chinese team seized the opportunity and launched a defensive counterattack.
This time, it was Yang Ming who broke through and scored, causing damage.
Xu Zai immediately called a timeout.
Because he discovered Lin Ying's existence, He Shengzhen directly became a burden on the field!
This is very uncomfortable.
If you continue to keep Ha Seung-jin on the court, you will continue to be targeted.
But if Ha Seung-jin is replaced, the Korean team's strength on the field will be greatly reduced.
After the timeout, Ha Shengzhen is still on the court!
Xu Zai worked hard!
Yang Ming made a free throw and the Chinese team led 8-0.
Xu Zai also showed his adjustment. The Korean team adjusted its tactics, switching from pick-and-roll breakthroughs to breakthrough points.
This time Yang Donggen showed his strength, and his three-point shooting from the outside finally helped the Korean team achieve a 0 breakthrough.
After playing for a long time, the Korean team seemed to finally remember what they were good at!
The Korean fans at the scene were so frustrated that they all stood up from their seats and shouted.
That terrifying expression, as if they had already won the game.
This was immediately met with contemptuous looks from the Japanese female fans present.
Yes, they indeed despise Koreans by the way!
Then, the Korean team could finally play positional defense.
Lin Ying directly pulled to the three-point line to organize.
The Korean team has never experienced the power of Lin Ying's 40-meter-long sword. Ha Shengzhen let him go, and Kim Joo-sung didn't even replace him!
When Lin Ying saw it, he directly took out the knife from outside.
"Whoa!"
Hands up and swords down!
answerball!
The eyes of the female fans at the scene were filled with love.
Really handsome and capable of fighting!
On the CCTV side, Su Qun and Zhang Weiping had already begun to brag about it.
Why has there never been such a dominant player on the defensive end in the history of men's basketball? Why is this passing talent the best in Chinese history?
Teacher Su not only has strong professional skills, but also knows how to talk to others, and the most important thing is not to blush.
Then, the Korean team missed a wave of three-pointers.
As mentioned before, their current three-point shooting ability has declined a lot compared to its peak.
However, this time they retreated well and did not give the Chinese team a chance to directly launch a defensive counterattack.
The two sides fell into position again, and this time He Shengzhen came out.
Lin Ying made a wave of organized passes, and Yi Li's famous scene in the national team was directly advanced. He passed the ball with a wave of ball and broke into the inside of Jin Zhoucheng.
The South Korean team's inside line Ha Seung-jin went out and could not come back, leaving the door open.
"boom!"
Tomahawk chop! Scored twice!
13 to 3!
Before the first half of the quarter, the Chinese team had already widened the point difference to 10 points!
Two years ago, the Chinese team beat the Korean team by 44 points, and a year ago, they gave the Korean team their worst record.
Now, a group of people have changed in two years. Should I hammer you or give you a beating?
At the critical moment, it was Yang Donggen who stood out for the Korean team again. He made a fake shot from the three-point line and scored a sudden floater.
13 to 5.
The Korean fans at the scene shouted excitedly again.
But this time, before the Japanese female fans could despise him, Lin Ying’s famous scene in the Asian Championships came!
Because the Korean team's defense was tight, Lin Ying had no good passing opportunities.
He faked a three-point shot and then broke through!
He Shengzhen jumped too hard because Lin Ying had just made a three-pointer. He wanted to stop when he saw Lin Ying's movement, but his speed couldn't keep up with his brain.
As a result, he tripped over Hashimoto Daiki's feet and fell directly to the ground.
This is, being knocked down by Lin Ying!
Lin Ying didn't stop, knocked down He Shengzhen, then quickly broke into the inside line and jumped up.
"Bang!"
It’s just a two-handed dunk!
If you can deduct it, you will definitely not get it!
Not to mention physical fitness, after playing the previous few games, his physical fitness is completely sufficient to compete in Asian level competitions!
This famous scene of falling over and dunking directly broke Xu Zai's final mentality.
He stretched out his hand to signal Lee Dong-joon to come on and replace Ha Seung-jin.
The "No. 1 center in Asia" was ruthlessly replaced without even getting any data!
Chapter completed!
