Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 272 Asian Championships

"How does it feel to be there? Are you excited?"

As soon as he came back from Moscow, the teammates of the national team chased him and asked him non-stop, full of curiosity.

After all, this is the Olympic Games, and it is still on the scene.

To be honest, players who had never envied Wang Hao's entry into the NBA, now feel envious.

This is a witness to history!
If it is other history, they will only be interested, and they will not say anything about envy and jealousy.

But this is the Olympic Games, a major sports event closely related to athletes like them.

It is the dream of countless athletes to participate in an Olympic Games held at their doorstep.

Now, Wang Hao has the opportunity to do it, as long as he remains in his current state after 7 years, he will not be injured.

In addition to having the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games at his doorstep, Wang Hao also witnessed this period of history.

It's so enviable.

"Excited? It's okay, anyway, I always thought that the right to host the Olympics must be ours!"

Hearing this, everyone was speechless.

If they didn't see you jumping on the table excitedly, they would really believe this nonsense!

Amidst this envy and jealousy, the national team has gone through the final training, and the Asian Championships are just around the corner.

That's right, the host city of this year's Asian Championships is Shanghai, which can be regarded as the home field of the Huaxia team.

This year's Asian Championship is the No.20 Asian Championship. The last Asian Championship was held in Japan.

Since it is a game at home and it is related to next year's World Championships, the national team naturally attaches great importance to it.

Otherwise, it would not cost such a big price to go to the United States for training.

Unfortunately, the effect is average.

Not only that, even Wang Zhizhi's application was rejected by the national team, making him miss the summer league.

Originally, I thought it would be fine to wait quietly for the game to start, but unfortunately, it was impossible.

Although the basketball game is only a basketball game in Asia, it also attracts a lot of attention in China.

Especially the competition held in China has made countless domestic fans look forward to it.

Correspondingly, major media, including CCTV, also prepared a large number of reporting programs.

Among them, the cooperation of the players is naturally indispensable.

That's right, in the days before the start of the game, the national team will be interviewed almost every day.

And as Wang Hao, who just came back from the NBA and just entered the national team, is naturally the focus of the media's attention.

You know, in the just-concluded NBA Finals, the Lakers just swept the digital team and won the championship with an invincible attitude.

Until this time, it was discovered that the Lakers were so strong that they seemed invincible.

In addition to the seven games against the Sonics, the Lakers have not lost a game in the entire playoffs.

It turned out that it wasn't that the Supersonics couldn't do it, but that the Lakers were too strong.

Even, many fans of Wang Hao directly called out that the Supersonics were just a bit unlucky.

If the Sonics can enter the finals, they will still win the championship.

Coupled with the seventh game against the Lakers, the referee's judgment was full of controversy, which made this voice reach its peak.

In the past, I could only guess casually, or speculate in my heart, but now that Wang Hao is here, of course I have to ask.

Almost every day, I have to accept interviews from the media.

In addition to being curious about his situation in the NBA and his feelings after entering the national team, there are also many reporters who are provocative.

For example, a reporter from a certain wave didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he came to ask about the internal strife in the national team.

What a mess!

He was not only doing trouble against the national team, but he was deliberately asking him, and he was clearly targeting him.

This made Wang Hao very upset!

Little brother, what do you mean?Don't you want to do it anymore, I don't know that I will soon become a shareholder of a certain wave?
Mainly because the market capitalization of Internet companies was too low as the Internet bubble burst.

Domestic Internet companies are also unavoidable. In this case, Wang Hao simply bought a wave.

How can Wang Hao answer such a question?Naturally, just chat a few words to fool the past.

Not only that, but CCTV also wanted to conduct an exclusive interview.

The person who interviewed him was still Zhang Lili, an old acquaintance, who felt closer and could communicate with each other when he had problems.

"Finally entered the national team, how do you feel?"

"Of course I am very happy, I feel like my dream has finally come true, and I am also full of fighting spirit.

Because wearing this jersey has a different meaning, and it is completely different from playing in the club. "

"It's the first time to participate in the national team competition, what's the goal?"

“Winning the championship is definitely winning the championship.

I think that with the strength of the Chinese national team, the only goal in Asia is to win the championship.

If we can't win the championship, we are definitely sorry for ourselves, sorry for the jersey we wear, and compared with the fans. "

"Having trained together for so long, what do you think of the strength of the national team?"

"I haven't participated in an international competition yet, and I haven't played against teams from other countries, so it's hard to judge.

If it is compared with NBA teams, it should be able to compete with the bottom teams in the NBA. "

Of course, when Wang Hao said that he could play a dozen games, he meant that he was also in the national team, and the opponent was only a small team.

Not only that, even if it is a big team, it is not easy to play.

In the starting lineup, after all, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi are on the inside, and he is also on the outside. It is estimated that he can play a little bit.

If it is replaced by a substitute, it will definitely suffer.

The so-called interviews actually have answers, and they have been arranged a long time ago, so naturally there will be no surprises.

In such a slightly troubled environment, time passed little by little, and finally came to July 7th.

That's right, it's the opening time of the 21st Men's Basketball Asian Championships.

The entire Men's Basketball Asian Championship will be held from July 7th to July 20th.

A total of 16 teams participated in this Asian Championship, and the 16 teams were divided into four groups.

As the host, the Huaxia team was naturally assigned to Group A, a solid seed player.

In addition to the Huaxia team, the other three opponents in the same group are the Thailand team, Qatar, and the Huaxia Hong Kong team.

These three opponents, that is, Qatar can fight a little.

Of course, this is relatively speaking. For the Huaxia team, they are actually rookies.

On the evening of July 7, that is, just before seven o'clock in the evening, the opening ceremony of the Asian Championships began.

In the gymnasium at the scene, it can be said that there are no empty seats tonight.

With the Shanghai Sharks, the injury itself still has a basketball atmosphere, and naturally there are a lot of fans.

Moreover, Yao Ming will also participate in the Asian Championships. For his family, they must give full support.

It's just that, if you were to ask Shang Hai's fans who they want to see today, there would definitely be a different result.

I have to say that today's fans are still very powerful.

I don't want future generations, there are so-called fans, they have all become basketball kneelers!

Who do fans want to see?Of course it was Wang Hao!
Not to mention the fans of Shang Hai, in fact, there are still a huge number of teams who have traveled thousands of miles to come here.

The target is naturally Wang Hao!

In the past, watching Wang Hao play could only be watched on TV, but now that he has the opportunity to watch the game live, naturally there is no need to miss it.

The opening ceremony is over, and the official competition is about to begin.

In fact, this is not considered the opening game. Five games have already been played before the opening ceremony.

The Huaxia team's game is the last game of the day.

However, as the home team, it is natural to put the game time in prime time, otherwise how can it attract fans.

As for the opponent, it is the Thai team.

How should I put it, the strength of this team is very average. Anyway, the Huaxia team's rule is to play casually.

No way, the strength distribution of basketball in Asia is really a bit very uneven.

In the daytime game, the South Korean team just won by 73 points from Singapore. What is the concept?
This is already a problem of too large a gap in level. NBA teams may not be able to make such a difference in the face of NCAA teams.

Such a huge difference is possible only if it is an NBA team who takes the initiative to teach the high school basketball team a lesson.

To put it bluntly, the strength of the two sides is several grades apart.

The Thailand team faced by the Huaxia team was actually similar.

"Okay, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game officially started. We saw that the height difference between the center of the Thai team and Yao Ming was too great.

Yao Ming easily won the jump ball, and the basketball fell into Wang Hao's hands. Yes, this is Wang Hao.

From the American NBA, the absolute core of the Seattle Supersonics, he put on the Huaxia team jersey today. "

……

With the sound of Sun Zhengping's voice, the Huaxia team's first Asian Championship was broadcast to thousands of households through the radio screen.

After Wang Hao got the ball, he didn't stick to the ball, but passed the ball to Fan Bin to let him organize the attack.

Although he felt that his ability to organize offenses was more reliable, he still didn't do so.

After all, it's the first time to play together, so you still have to pay more attention and give your teammates a chance.

As for the future, it must be changed in the future!

By the way, let's talk about some starting lineups. Except for the insiders Shuangta and Wang Hao, the remaining two starters are the guards.

Fan Bin and Hu Weidong partnered in today's backcourt.

As for the Thai team starting...

Wang Hao looked up and took a closer look, well, I don't know any of them, so there is no need to say more.

Even when the Huaxia team was making tactical arrangements, they said the number, not the name.

Fan Bin dribbled the ball halfway and handed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming was also polite and put the ball directly into the basket.

As for the Thai players defending him, when they turned around, they couldn't see anyone at all.

There's no other way, at most it's as high as his waist.

Wang Hao has actually done some comparisons. The center forward of the Thai team is probably about the same height as him.

Faced with such an eye-catching situation, to be honest, Wang Hao has no desire to attack at all, and he tries to pass the ball as much as possible.

It's a pity that he doesn't want to show off, but opportunities keep falling on him!
Over there, Fan Bin completed the steal, and the Huaxia team quickly counterattacked. With Wang Hao's speed, he couldn't take the lead.

Just after halftime, Fan Bin had already passed the ball, and he was not polite. After three steps, it was a tomahawk smash.

"boom!"

With the dunk scored, the fans at the scene were instantly excited.

Not only that, but Yao Ming made another big cap, the basketball almost flew halfway, and Wang Hao chased after him again.

……

Looking up, Wang Hao suddenly couldn't bear it.

32: 2.

That's right, there is no missing number, it is 32:2, and the Thai team only scored 2 points.

Moreover, before the end of the first quarter, the Huaxia team scored more than 30 points.

When the Thai team called a timeout, the team leader Ji Zhixin also came over and said something.

"Okay, almost enough, don't go too far."

Although a basketball game won't cause a diplomatic accident, it shouldn't be too much.

At least let people face it.

Wang Fei didn't waste any time, and simply replaced Wang Hao, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi.

But even if it is a substitute for the Huaxia team, it is not something that the Thai team can play, and it is not an opponent at all.

Later, the Huaxia team simply couldn't defend themselves.

There is no way to let the offense go. After all, they still have to practice tactics and score points.

That is to say, defensively, it can be less serious.

But the problem is, even if the Huaxia team puts water on the defense, the Thai team has to throw the ball in!
Throughout the first half, the Huaxia team has been firmly occupying the lead, and the point difference is getting bigger and bigger.

However, in the second quarter, because none of the three main players played, the Huaxia team's scoring efficiency was reduced.

Even so, the first half ended with a 65:23 point difference.

The difference of more than 40 points is almost invisible.

In the second half, the Huaxia team only let the three of Wang Hao play for 5 minutes, and then went off to rest.

There is no way, the advantage is too great, it is really unnecessary.

Later, Wang Fei let Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi fight for a while, mainly to let the two find their feelings.

As for Wang Hao, he has no interest in playing at all.

Seeing that there are only 3 minutes left in the game, the point difference between the two sides has widened to almost 70 points.

The game is not just without suspense, but has entered garbage time among garbage time.

However, at this time, the fans quit.

"Wang Hao, Wang Hao..."

Many people traveled thousands of miles to watch Wang Hao play. As a result, they were lonely and only played for a few minutes.

Although they also knew that Wang Hao didn't need to play in this game, they still wanted to watch Wang Hao.

Hearing these shouts one after another, Wang Hao was quite helpless, this is going to be forced to open for business!

It's just that this helpless look was seen by the players of the Huaxia team, and it always felt a bit Versailles.

Ji Zhixin actually discussed with Wang Fei, and then came to ask Wang Hao's opinion.

Although he still put on the training uniform, he couldn't live up to the expectations of the fans, so he agreed.

Seeing that Wang Hao was about to play, the fans at the scene became even more excited and kept shouting.

Even, even the game had to be interrupted.

It's just that the players of the Thai team didn't think too much, instead they all looked at Wang Hao with a little envy.

There is no way, the gap in strength is too obvious, and they can't feel any jealousy at all.

After Wang Hao came on the field, the game resumed, but his body had cooled down, and he was still playing.

He tried two three-pointers from the outside and scored both.

No way, the Thai team's defensive pressure is not enough, and the three-point line is similar to his two-point shot.
