Chapter 106: Dominance (Part 1)

"Toot!"

The final whistle sounded, and the first match of the 2006 Asian Youth Championship came to an end.

104 to 41, the Chinese team almost completely destroyed the Kyrgyzstan team at both offensive and defensive ends with a devastating momentum, and made a good start.

In the end, the Ji team players also failed to fulfill their wishes, and the 63-point difference far exceeded their expectations of a 50-point difference, which was almost a humiliating defeat.

Watching the Chinese team members celebrate with each other, the players of the Ji team are not too desperate, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is indeed too huge, and losing is a sure thing.

It's just that the score difference is too big, and the shouts of the Chinese fans in the stadium made them a little embarrassed, and they couldn't say a word, and after shaking hands with the Chinese players, they quickly left the stadium.

"Although the game is not very exciting, after all, the gap between the strength of the two sides is too big, the Chinese team, as the big forward Chen Mu said before the game, is here to 'abuse vegetables', and there is no suspense about the outcome of the game."

Commentator Yoga said: "But this game is still very interesting, let's ask Director Zhang to comment on it." ”

"Hehe, the boys of the Chinese team played very well in this game, especially Chen Jianghua and Chen Mu, haha, you see the two of them, they are like playing on the field, they are like no one, and they play very well at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends."

Director Zhang smiled: "Especially Chen Mu, hey, you see that this young man doesn't look amazing, his height is not the highest, his speed is not the fastest, he is bouncing, and there are Yi Jianlian in China who is stronger than him." But he's all-round, he's good at anything, in the NBA, his defense may be a big problem, but in the Asian Youth Championships, his speed is incredible! ”

"In my opinion, with such a pair of internal and external combinations, the Chinese team will definitely be able to overcome obstacles and win the championship. Especially with Chen Mu, do you know what the young man showed in the arena? ”

"It's called dominance!"

This comment of this basketball celebrity quickly became popular all over the domestic Internet.

"Chen Mu = Dominance!"

After the game, some media even directly typed such a headline, which attracted people's attention.

In this game, the Chinese team had completely locked in the victory at the end of the first quarter, and the strong play of Chen Mu and Chen Jianghua at the beginning quickly broke the confidence of the Kyrgyzstan players. By halftime, the difference between the two sides had exceeded 50 points.

In the second half, the Chinese team sent all the substitutes, and the Ji team also took the opportunity to score a few more goals. But even in the substitute lineup, the strength of the Chinese team's players is too much higher than that of the opponent, and the score difference is further widened until the final whistle.

In the whole game, the Chinese team had 5 players score double-doubles, and the starting point guard Chen Jianghua scored an efficient double-double of 22 points and 12 assists in 20 minutes of playing time, becoming the propeller of the Chinese team's backcourt.

In the front court, Chen Mu, who came to "abuse vegetables", showed his dominance.

He played 19 minutes and scored 27 points and 18 rebounds, including seven in the frontcourt.

In addition, Chen Mu also incarnated as an inside magician and delivered a dazzling 6 assists, if it weren't for the fact that his teammates were really weak, I am afraid that this assist number would have to be added to 2 or 3 times.

5 earth-shattering blocks, Chen Mu is like an iron wall under the basket of the Chinese team, so that the Kyrgyzstan team's offense has no return, and he returns again and again.

"Nearly 50 points! The dominance of the internal and external lines of the national youth is beginning to show! ”

After the game, media reports emerged one after another, and many reporters focused on the combination of Chen Mu and Chen Jianghua's inside and outside, and almost did not mention the play of other players.

Back at the station, Director Liu announced the assembly time for the next day, and then let the players rest.

That night, Chen Mu was so excited that he could barely sleep, and he continued to fight with the inside muscle ** in the NBA, he never thought that the game would be so easy in the face of Asian opponents of the same age.

Throughout the game, the inside line of the Ji team almost did not cause any trouble to Chen Mu, whether it was a mid-shot or a violent dunk or a pass, Chen Mu did it very easily, which was simpler than the 76ers team practice match, and even simpler than the national youth team team practice game.

"In the same age group in Asia, it seems that I have no opponents."

Chen Mu made such a judgment.

The next day, against Japan, 124-94, the Chinese team continued to win.

Chen Jianghua scored 24 points, and Chen Mu also had 26 points and 11 rebounds, which abused the Japanese team inside.

On the third day, facing Hong Kong, China, the Chinese team played a terrible wave of attacks, 138-44, allowing the brother with the same surname to suffer an even more painful defeat than Kyrgyzstan.

In order to take care of the face of the brother team, Coach Liu did not send all the main forces at the beginning, leaving only Chen Mu and Chen Jianghua present, and the rest of the players were substitute players.

Even so, the Chinese team still broke the record of the competition in terms of goal difference and single-game scores, creating an incredible battle of torture and killing.

The internal and external dualists didn't have much playing time, and they both went off the court to rest after there was no suspense in the game. But Chen Jianghua still got 17 points and 6 assists, and Chen Mu also scored 21 points, as always, he grabbed double-digit rebounds and continued his dominance.

At the end of the group stage, the Chinese team won all three games and advanced, and on September 4, the game entered the quarter-round robin.

Facing Kazakhstan, the Chinese team ran into a little trouble, and the second strength of Group B was not the same as the previous opponent, and the team started to the fullest.

Before the start of the game, fans and the media were also worried, Kazakhstan's style of play is biased towards European teams, the integrity is very strong, and the individual strength of the players is also good, in addition to the height disadvantage, it seems that it is very promising to compete with the Chinese team.

However, when the game started, everyone realized that such fears were unfounded.

"It's another slam dunk score! Ha ha! Chen Mu, this young man, can, I see, he must be the pillar of Chinese basketball in the future! ”

With Director Zhang's excited explanation, the Chinese team took a 20-point lead in the first half.

Chen Jianghua was full of firepower in the half, scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Behind him, Chen Mu was also inspired by the team that can still be regarded as an "opponent", scoring 17 points and 9 rebounds in the half, although it was not as dazzling as the previous game, but 8 blocks in a single game also set a record for this tournament.

In the end, the Chinese team won 87-66, and the domestic media and fans began to pay attention to this national youth team, looking forward to this journey of abuse and killing, which can go longer.

On September 5, the Chinese team faced the top of Group A, Chinese Taipei, a team led by a female coach, which was a strong opponent for the Chinese team in the Asian Youth Championship.

After the opening, Chen Jianghua and Xie Libin, who had been in poor hands, played well and led the team to a 9-2 lead. But after the pause, the Taipei team replaced two high-school forwards and accelerated the pace of the game, playing an 8-0 attack wave to overtake the score.

And this is also the first time that the Chinese team has fallen behind in this cup competition.

Director Liu called a timeout.

"They're very accurate from the outside, they're very fast, we have to press and press, we can't give them space to shoot!"

The camera recorded the footage of Liu's tactics during the pause, and transmitted it to all corners of the country through live TV signals during the intermission.

And this tactical arrangement has also become the most praised arrangement for Director Liu in this cup competition.

"It's okay if the inside line is vacant, don't always worry about what to do after they break through, we have two big tall people standing on the inside, are you still afraid that they will break through and score? We have the block king of this competition in our team, as long as they dare to break through, let them break through! ”

"Be patient on the offensive end, pour the ball more, if you really don't have a chance......"

Director Liu stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Mu beside him, and continued: "Just give him the ball!" ”

"Yes!"

Although the team members were slightly dissatisfied with Director Liu's bottomless trust in Chen Mu, they didn't say much in order to win the game, and nodded in unison.

The restart of the game, everything that happened after that, proved that Coach Liu's trust was not groundless.

"The ball is stopped in the front court, you have to lose it, you have to lose it! Eh, it's so dangerous, Chen Mu has received the ball, eh, don't shoot...... I actually entered! Although the goal was scored, it was played unreasonably. ”

"The defense is going to leak, it's too bad to be bursting in, eh, it's going to be a layup...... Strike! This block is very beautiful, but Chen Mu's own defender behind him is also empty, if the opponent pours one more hand, it will be an empty basket under the basket! ”

"24 seconds are coming, what should I do, I can't stop the ball, Chen Mu catches the ball, eh, this kind of big horizontal pass is very dangerous...... It's in, it's good, Xie Libin's feel is back, hey! ”

With Director Zhang's shouting (big honey is black, Director Zhang I love you), the Chinese team gradually regained its sense under the leadership of Chen Mu, at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Chen Mu is like an optimus pillar, no matter what mistakes his teammates make, Chen Mu can save it.

The Chinese team also started a strong attack when they only led by 2 points at 24-22 in the first quarter. Chen Mu continuously sent big hats on the inside, and on the offensive end, he also continued to "wipe his ass" for his teammates, and scored several times to save the situation.

In the entire second quarter, Chinese Taipei, which was strong in offensive firepower, only scored 7 points, while the Chinese team scored 25 points in a single quarter and took a 49-29 lead at halftime.

In the second half of the game, the Chinese team won the game and once again sent substitute players to practice the lineup, and finally defeated the opponent 101-57 and won five consecutive victories.

With 18 points and 9 rebounds in the half, as well as 3 assists and 4 blocks, Chen Mu was once again selected as the best player in a single game, and his popularity in China has reached a new high.

The Chinese team that won the game continued to soar, beating Kuwait 87-54 a day later to reach the semifinals.

On September 8, in the semifinals, the Chinese team collectively found their touch on the outside and defeated the West Asian Wolves Lebanon team that said before the game that they would "challenge the Chinese team" 129-76.

After 8 consecutive days of competition, the Chinese team finally ushered in the last opponent of this cup.

This opponent once knocked out the Chinese team in the last Asian Youth Championship four years ago.

It was this opponent who brought the most desperate experience to the Chinese team in this cup.

On September 9, at the Central Gymnasium of Wuhan, the final of the 19th Asian Youth Championship is about to begin.

After the national anthem was played, the players on both sides bowed to each other, looking at the powerful opponent opposite, Chen Mu also showed 120% of his spirit, waiting for the game to start with full attention, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"South Korean team, I will let you know what it means to crush ......!" (To be continued.) )
