Chapter 203 Defeat South Korea and face the West Asian powerhouse Lang Lang!
No matter how South Korea's three-point shooters run and cover, there is always someone closely in front of the shooters!
Although this defensive method consumes a lot of physical energy, the players, under the coaching of Wang Yan, ran as hard as they could.
Full of energy!
And the three-point rhythm of the Chinese men's basketball team is coming.
Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Guo Ailun decisively threw three-pointers during the transition from offense to defense.
The results of Wang Yan’s training came out.
During such high-intensity running, the Chinese men's basketball team maintained a very high shooting percentage.
The South Korean head coach was stunned.
Three months ago, the two national teams played a game together, and the player lineups remained almost unchanged.
Why has the Chinese men's basketball team's playing style changed completely?
Not only are they strictly disciplined, but they also have tremendous physical strength and can act quickly!
At the end of the first half, the score was 56:46, and the Chinese men's basketball team overtook by 10 points!
Among them, Zhu Fangyu made three three-pointers, Sun Yue made one, and Guo Ailun made two.
Treat others in their own way!
The Chinese men's basketball team let South Korea know what a real three-point rain is!
The second half of the game completely lost its suspense.
After long-range pitching was restrained, South Korea had no more tactics to use.
In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated South Korea 93:77 and got off to a good start in this Asian Championships!
At the end of the game, the Chinese audience at the scene were so excited that they did not want to leave for a long time. They sang the national anthem of China together and cheered for the players of the national team!
Wang Yan and the national team players ran around the court several times, waving to the Chinese fans in thanks.
Although it was just the Asian Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team played at a high level, shocking all the national teams!
You know, in the game three months ago, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to South Korea by nearly 20 points.
. . . .
A day later, the second group match started.
The Chinese men's basketball team faced off against Malaysia.
There was no suspense in this game. Even if Wang Yan did not come to be the coach, Malaysia would not be a match.
Take height for example, the tallest player in the Malaysian men's basketball team, the center, is only 2 meters tall.
There are only three people in the team who are over 2 meters tall.
Basketball is a sport of giants after all, and the game was not suspenseful.
In the end, the two teams actually scored an exaggerated score of 113:22.
It was a massacre!
Two consecutive victories in the group stage made people see a different side of the Chinese men’s basketball team!
The chairman of the Basketball Association, Yu Zaiqing, was very excited. He took the initiative to call Wang Yan and praised his coaching.
Wang Yan said modestly: "This is just the group stage, it's nothing, I will get better and better in the future!"
"Okay! I firmly support you, Wang Yan! When you were a player, you made me and the fans feel at ease! Now that you are the head coach, you still make us feel at ease!"
Next up is the last game of the group stage, which is also the most difficult one.
The opponent is Lang Lang.
Lang Lang is a strong player in West Asia and has been almost the number one player in Asia in the past two years.
They have strong bodies, practical skills and the style of a European team.
Therefore, when facing other Asian teams, the advantage is still obvious.
In the parallel world before Wang Yan traveled through time, it was Lang Lang who won the Asian Championships.
Wang Yan had foresight and found the Brazilian team to practice with him in the first warm-up match.
The Chinese men's basketball team is not afraid of Lang Lang at all now.
Wang Yan planned not to use the system's gift package in the first half and tried to have a good fight with Lang Lang.
Lang Lang's head coach is arrogant.
At the pre-match press conference, he said contemptuously: "I don't take the Chinese men's basketball team seriously."
"Unless Wang Yan takes the field himself, we will easily defeat the Chinese men's basketball team and win all the group matches!"
The Chinese players were all very angry, but they could only keep their anger to themselves.
Competitive sports are like this, the best response is to defeat your opponent on the field!
Otherwise, no matter how much you talk, it will all be nonsense!
Head coach Lang Lang is qualified to make such big claims because Lang Lang's performance has been so good in the past two years.
The Chinese men's basketball team played against Lang Lang twice and lost both times. So when the head coach brags, you can only listen.
If you want someone to shut up, defeat him in the game!
Therefore, Wang Yan did not respond to the provocation of head coach Lang Lang at the pre-match press conference.
The media reporters were all very surprised.
In the past, when Wang Yan was interviewed in the NBA, he was generally very tactful.
But in the face of such tit-for-tat provocation, Wang Yan would still retort a few words to him.
But Wang Yan always had a smile on his face, avoided the question and didn't care what the other coach said.
Those who know Wang Yan understand that this is a sign that Wang Yan is about to get ruthless.
. . . .
At eight o'clock in the evening, the last group match of Group C, Lang Lang VS China!
The starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is center Wang Dazhi, power forward Abdul-Jabbar, small forward Zhu Fangyu, shooting guard Sun Yue, and point guard Guo Ailun.
Lang Lang's starting five are center Haddadi, power forward Bahrami, small forward Karini, shooting guard Sahakin, and point guard Afagh!
Jump ball in the center circle.
Haddadi grabbed the first ball for Lang Lang.
Dazhi is older now and his explosive power is not as strong as it used to be.
The Chinese men's basketball team was well prepared and immediately returned to defense.
Haddadi succeeded in the jump ball and was full of confidence, so he wanted to hit Wang Dazhi again.
Who knows, although Wang Dazhi’s explosive power is insufficient, his strength and footwork are still there!
Hadida hit him a few times, but Wang Dazhi cleverly "removed the chair" and he sat on the ground with a plop.
Dazhi was quick and grabbed the ball, launching a fast break.
He also used a Wang style long pass, whoosh!
Accurately found Guo Ailun and Sun Yue near the center circle.
This is the change that Wang Yan brought to the national team——
Active counterattack awareness.
Just as Dazhi successfully moved the chair, the two men turned around and ran.
By the time Lang Lang's players reacted, it was too late.
Guo Ailun received the ball and ran across half court and passed it to Sun Yue.
In the end, Sun Yuexian scored two points.
This is the sophistication of the world.
Sun Yue has more experience than Guo Ailun and has a higher status in the team, so Guo Ailun gave the sure-shot goal to Sun Yue.
Such cooperation is a great boost to the morale of the entire team.
After all, it is a team sport, and it is easier to create a good chemical reaction when teammates cooperate to score goals than to play alone!
2: 0!
Head coach Lang Lang stood on the sidelines, his confident and arrogant expression gone, looking a little solemn.
After Sun Yue scored the goal, he was the first to rush towards Guo Ailun, and the two of them bumped their chests and roared!
The Chinese fans at the scene also shouted loudly.
"The Celestial Empire will win!"
"Defeat Lang Lang!"
"Wang Yan Niu Bi!"
After all, Lang Lang's team is a strong team in Asia. Captain Haddadi on the field gestured to his teammates, asking everyone not to panic.
Restarting the attack, Lang Lang focused on the outside this time.
Lang Lang's point guard, Afahe, had good skills and almost made it to the NBA.
He didn't call for a screen, but just changed direction and passed Guo Ailun.
Wang Yan watched from the sidelines, nodded slightly, and thought this player was good.
