Chapter 438 Who Is Asia's No. 1 Center Forward?
Chapter 438 Who is Asia's No. [-] Center Forward?
The third match of the first round of the Asian Championships.
The opponent of the Chinese team is the Iranian team.
The Iranian national men's basketball team has always been a traditional strong team in Asia, a dominant team, and also the biggest opponent of the Chinese team this time!
But luckily, they were actually assigned to the same group this time, which meant that they would start falling in love with each other in the group stage.
Two of the main players of the Iranian men's basketball team are NBA players. One is this year's rookie, the power forward Asalan Kazmi who was selected by the Washington Wizards at the 24th place in the second round.
But this guy was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers just after being drafted.
It is worth mentioning that this guy is the only Asian player selected by the NBA this year.
Yi Jianlian looked through their roster. This guy didn't seem to come to this year's Asian Championships. He said that he should do his best to prepare for the new NBA season.
Another NBA player on the Iranian team is Hamad Haddadi.
Everyone should be familiar with this person, because in his previous life, Hammadi was known as the "No. [-] Center in Asia" after Dayao!
This guy's feet are a typical Asian inside player, with flexible feet, soft touch, mid-range and long-range shooting ability, and he can also attack with the ball. I can imagine the style of Dayao.He averaged 16.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game in the Olympics, which is not bad.
It's just that Yi Jianlian was born in this time and space, and the focus shifted to the fifth position.
So the "Asia's No. [-] Center" must not have any part in him.
But Haddadi doesn't think so. He is a very proud person deep in his heart. Yi Jianlian may be a little stronger than him, but his strength is limited, and he may even draw with him!
Uh, don't be surprised, Hammadi is such a person, his heart is extremely proud, the boss, the second child, my third child, what do you think?
Originally, he was planning to compete with Yi Jianlian in this Asian Championships, so that he could say that Yi Jianlian is now the "Asian No.1" in the basketball world.
Uh, in fact, although Hammadi is an NBA player, he and Yi Jianlian have never really played against each other.
It's not that I don't want to, but I really don't have a chance.
To use a metaphor, Hammadi's status in the NBA and the status of the Memphis Grizzlies is like a certain grandson before him.
There is no sense of existence at all, and whether you can play for an hour after a season is another matter.
How can someone like him be qualified to face off against Yi Jianlian?
Can only be played during garbage time.
Not to mention he was traded back and forth this season that just ended, and no one wanted him.
According to Fagan's news, Hammadi seems to be no longer wanted this season. Since the free market has been open for so long, no team is willing to offer him a contract. This season, there is a high probability that he will return to China.
In Hammadi's view, this Asian Championship will be his "opportunity to re-emerge". As long as he seizes the opportunity and plays well, there may be no one in the NBA who will fancy him and be willing to give him a contract.
It's a pity that Yi Jianlian is not here.
Hammadi smacked his lips and looked at Yi Jianlian's position, his expression was still unfinished, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Hammadi is the most threatening point of the Iranian team, and in addition, another very threatening point of the Iranian team is at the small forward position.
Bahrami.
He is known as one of the best small forwards in Asia in the 21st century.
His cooperation with insider Hammadi is the invincible tactic of the Iranian team.
Soon, the game begins.
Iran fielded their starters.
Haddadi, Bahrami, Afah, Sahagin, Kamrami.
The Chinese team still has the same lineup as the previous two games.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team made a mistake. Bahrami made a throw, and the Chinese team made another mistake. Sahakin made a sneak attack and hit the basket. The Chinese team made a third mistake. Yannakis was also called a technical foul because he was dissatisfied with the referee. Bahrami made 4 of 3 free throws. Iran led the Chinese team 9-0.
What Yi Jianlian watched from the sidelines was full of black lines.
What do you mean by playing like this?
How can there be so many fouls when they come up?
You can't play ball all of a sudden, right?Made the same mistake as the previous Malaysian men's basketball team?
To be honest, Yi Jianlian really didn't expect them to be able to play like this. After a week of his training, he looked pretty good from the front, but when he encountered a strong enemy, his true colors were revealed.
Iran's comprehensive strength is stronger than the current men's basketball team, but the gap is actually not that big in Yi Jianlian's view.
You can see that most of the Iranian team's scoring is done by the mistakes of the Chinese team, and there are also points for fouls.
And if the Chinese team didn't make so many mistakes, there is no reason for the Iranian team to lead so much for no reason.
The most exasperating thing is that even the coach was fined a technical foul, which is outrageous
Yi Jianlian got a headache watching it.
If the game continues like this, the men's basketball team will lose.
Coach Deng Huade must now think of a way, and then call a timeout to change the current situation.
Otherwise the situation is dangerous.
However, coach Deng Huade didn't mean to call a timeout, and the men's basketball team continued until 5 minutes and 39 seconds. Liu Xiaoyu stepped on the three-point line and hit a shot to break the Chinese team's scoring drought. Li Xiaoxu also made a layup. Mi first scored a three-pointer from the bottom corner, then made a successful layup, and then Afahh scored a three-pointer from the bottom corner, 17-4, Iran led the Chinese team by as many as 13 points.
Liu Xiaoyu's shot was awarded 2 points.
At the critical moment, Wang Shipeng stood up and suddenly made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Zhou Pengbo made 2 of 2 free throws for a foul. Points, followed by a three-pointer not long after!
In this quarter, he hit 3 three-pointers alone!
The Chinese team narrowed the gap to 7 points.
Iran's counterattack was successful. Wang Shipeng wanted to break through and hit a layup, but made a mistake. Iran counterattacked and made 2 fouls and 2 free throws. Iran led by 13 points again.
In 9.5 seconds, Dazhi made 2 of 1 free throws for a foul, and Iran missed a jumper at the buzzer. The first quarter ended and China 16-26 Iran.
10 points behind in the first quarter!
This is a huge difference.
In fact, in Yi Jianlian's view, if coach Deng Huade called a timeout earlier, the situation might be better.
Because the men's basketball team launched a counterattack after a timeout, if the timeout was called earlier, the disadvantage might not be as great as it is now.
Coach Deng Huade!
Yi Jianlian shook his head helplessly. He respected the coach quite a bit, but he couldn't cover up the obvious loophole just now, even if he wanted to.
