Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the first round of the group stage, the Chinese team defeated their opponents bloodlessly in all three games. Bahrain, the Philippines and Lebanon did not cause any difficulties for the Chinese team at all.
The Chinese team basically won the three games with a huge advantage, even the Philippine team, which had previously shouted to fight for the championship, was defeated by the Chinese team bloodlessly.
The goal difference in all three games was above 20 points, and against Bahrain, it even allowed China to finish the game with a 40-point advantage.
The Chinese team entered the second round of the group stage very easily. Although the Chinese team often struggles in the World Series, they still seem to be very comfortable in the continental competitions in Asia.
Even without Yao Ming, the Chinese team is still ahead of most teams in Asia. And the current Chinese team, although it is said that Yao Ming is missing the inside line, but Yi Jianlian, who has played in the NBA and has played 12+7, can also be rampant and domineering in Asia, and few people can compete with it.
Coupled with the addition of Wu Dawei, a swingman like Wu Dawei, the strength of the Chinese team has even risen instead of falling!
This year's Asian Championship has a total of 16 teams participating, and the 16 teams are divided into 4 groups and play a single round-robin match. The top three teams from each group advance to the next round of round-robin.
A total of 12 teams advance to the next round of round-robin, with the second round of round-robin divided into two groups. There are six teams in each group, and after a single round robin is played, the top four teams from the group advance to the knockout rounds.
China entered the second round of the round-robin as the top team in Group D, and in the second round of the round-robin match, the Chinese team was in the same group as the Philippines, Jordan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Japan.
The second round of the group stage started on September 19, and the Chinese team still did not encounter any obstacles. It was very easy to stand out from the second round of the round-robin competition. Be the first to qualify for the knockout stage.
The reason why the Chinese team was able to play so smoothly in the group stage. First, it is because of the strength of the team itself. The addition of Wu Dawei has brought the Chinese national men's basketball team, which is already second to none in Asia, to a higher level in strength; Second, it is because they were not in the same group as other basketball powerhouses in Asia in the group stage.
Iran and South Korea, the old Asian powerhouses, were all placed in another group. In this way, in the knockout round, the chances of the Chinese team meeting them will become very large.
In the first round of the knockout round. That is, in the eight-in-four match, the Chinese team is against the fourth place in the other group. In the game, the Lebanese team did not cause any difficulties for the Chinese team at all.
48:78, a huge advantage of 30 points, made Wu Dawei only play about 20 minutes in the whole game. was put on the bench by head coach Deng Huade and sat until the end of the game.
Asian matches are not as good as Europe's, and even in the knockout stages, there will be big defeats from time to time. The Chinese team easily advanced to the top four at their home stadium, and it was the strong Iranian team in West Asia that was a little surprising.
Even before the tournament began, the heart of the Iranian team, Haddadi, admitted that their goal would only be the championship, and that no team could stop their determination to win the championship. But in the first round of the knockout round, the Iranian team suffered a catastrophe.
At 88:84, Jordan's back-to-back scores at the end of the game helped them finally eliminate the favorites Iran and successfully enter the semi-finals.
In addition to China and Jordan entering the semi-finals, the other two teams are South Korea and the Philippines. And in the semi-finals. The Chinese team will be challenged by the old rival South Korea.
Although South Korea has a resume of playing in Europe against the NBA and even the NCAA, Moon Tae-jong joined, but obviously. His resume may be dazzling in South Korea, but it is not worth mentioning in China.
At least in the game, whether he is against Yi Jianlian or Wu Dawei, he is in an absolute disadvantage.
The Chinese team also defeated the old rival South Korea team with a 74:52, 22-point advantage in this semi-final game. Wu Dawei's playing time increased slightly, but he only played 25 minutes before being replaced by head coach Deng Huade and rested.
Because even in the semifinals, at the end of the third quarter, there was not much suspense. Deng Huade naturally felt that Wu Dawei had no need to play at such a time.
Although fans expect Wu Dawei to play for a longer time, this Asian Championship is also about Deng Huade's coaching career in the Chinese men's national basketball team.
So, naturally, he was unwilling
Let a core player like Wu Dawei waste his physical energy on pleasing the fans.
The Chinese team is indomitable in the Asian Championships, outscoring opponents in each game to achieve an average of nearly 30 points per game, such a score is incomparable to other participating teams in the Asian Championships.
In this way, the time came to September 25, which is the final day of this year's Wuhan Asian Championships. The Chinese team sitting at home will face Jordan, the dark horse team of this Asian Championship, at the central gymnasium in Wuhan!
Jordan knocked out Iran in the quarter-finals, causing the biggest upset of the tournament, and then they beat the Philippines in a bloodless way.
But even so, before the start of this final, except for West Asia and some media with ulterior motives, most people are still more optimistic about the Chinese team sitting at home.
The reason is simple, just like Charles. Barkley said the same in a recent TNT sports show about the Asian Championships that are in full swing. Wu Dawei's joining is like a college student playing an elementary school league......
Although such a metaphor is very inappropriate and has attracted a lot of criticism from the Asian media, Ba Fat can't hold his mouth recently, and of course he doesn't care about these criticisms. And the fact is indeed as he said, in the past 8 Asian Championship games, Wu Dawei has averaged only 23 minutes per game, and can contribute 20 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks for the team......
His shooting percentage is even close to 60%, and even the three-point shot, which he is not good at in the NBA, has a shooting rate of about 35%.
In the small forward position, the average number of players who have played against Wu Dawei in the past eight games is 5 points, and the shooting rate is only about 30%. Wu Dawei almost exceeds the tonnage of more than 110 kilograms of most Asian insiders, and the height of 203 centimeters more than many Asian insiders, so that the Asian players who have played against Wu Dawei are all miserable, coupled with Wu Dawei's good flexibility, it really makes the players who have played against Wu Dawei feel cornered......
And this situation did not improve in the Asian Championship finals. Jordan's team against Wu Dawei is CBA player Abbas, who contributed 20+10 to the team in the CBA midfield, and only scored 8 points in the final that night.
The Chinese team had an absolute advantage in two positions, and finally extinguished this dark horse with a final advantage of 89:69 and 20 points.
The Chinese team regained the Asian championship trophy after six years, and also won the ticket to next year's London Olympics. This is the only ticket in Asia, and the runner-up Jordan team can only go to the dangerous play-offs in the end.
Wu Dawei undoubtedly became the MVP of this Asian Championships, and he pressured his teammate Yi Jianlian to win the highest individual honor in this Asian Championships. At the same time, he was also selected for the best team along with Yi Jianlian.
However, even if Wu Dawei and the Chinese team performed so well in this Asian Championships, some people still came out to complain. However, it is not Wu Dawei who complains, but Wu Dawei's teammates in the Chinese national team. Wu Dawei's average per game in this year's Asian Championships is not much different from his in the NBA playoffs that have ended, the only thing that is much less is his number of assists.
Therefore, the complaints of Chinese fans are saying that although the Chinese team has Wu Dawei and Yi Jianlian, two players who are extremely good even in the world, it is still difficult to make a difference in the London Olympics next year. Because the other players in China are not very good at taking chances.
This slot was also mentioned by the host when Wu Dawei participated in some TV interviews in China, but of course Wu Dawei would not complain about his teammates like the fans.
Wu Dawei, who has made great achievements in the Asian Championships, is not ready to stay in China after the Asian Championships. He is ready to return to the United States, although the management and labor side of the labor dispute are still quarrelling, and the league will not be able to start for a while and a half, but Wu Dawei still has his own things to do.
His summer training plan is also on the agenda.
Before going to the United States, Wu Dawei originally planned to take his parents to the United States together this time, but the second elder was still more willing to stay in China. Instead, he bought a new house in his hometown, and after settling down and taking care of everything in China, in October, Wu Dawei took a plane back to the United States.
He was still on the same flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles. And the location of the summer training he planned was also arranged in Los Angeles.
Because compared to Cleveland, it is clear that Los Angeles is better in all respects.
