I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 120 A Showdown Between Fate

BJ时间8月28日，亚运会男篮结束了4场1/4决赛的征程。

The Chinese men's basketball team slaughtered the host Indonesian men's basketball team by a big score, Chinese Taipei narrowly beat Syria, South Korea defeated the Philippine men's basketball team led by Clarkson, and Iran relied on the old and strong Haddadi to crush the Japanese men's basketball team strongly.

In the end, South Korea, Iran, Chinese Taipei and China advanced to the semi-finals.

This ending means that the Chinese men's basketball team will meet Chinese Taipei again in the semifinals.

As we all know, the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team is considered a strong team in the Asian basketball world. In history, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team have faced off several times.

In the history of the Asian Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team has played against the Taipei men's basketball team as many as 11 times. The Chinese team has achieved an impressive record of 10 wins and 1 loss, which can be described as the best.

At the same time, in the history of the Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team has also played against the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team 5 times, and the Chinese men's basketball team has maintained an undefeated golden body.

But no matter how glorious history is, it cannot erase the only humiliating experience.Whenever there is such a duel, fans will think of the humiliation in the 2013 Asian Championships.

In the 2013 Asian Championships in Manila, the Philippines, the two teams met in the quarter-finals. The Chinese men's basketball team led by 1 points in the first half, but was finally reversed by the opponent.

When the final whistle sounded, all the Chinese Taipei men's basketball players hugged together, while Yi Jianlian sat alone on the bench and refused to leave for a long time.

He looked up at the heart-wrenching score on the scorer, and silently lowered his unwilling but ashamed head. No matter how difficult it was, he had to accept such a bloody reality: the Chinese men’s basketball team lost 78 to 96 to the Chinese Taipei men’s basketball team, and thus missed the semi-finals of the Asian Championships. At the same time, he lost his ticket to the 2014 Men’s Basketball World Championships.

The 12-man lineup of the Chinese Taipei team for the Asian Games is: Chen Yingjun, Jiang Yuan, Peng Junyan, Liu Zheng, Zhou Yixiang, Huang Conghan, Huang Zhen, Hu Longmao, Jian Hao, Zhou Baichen, Chen Guanquan, Lin Zhiwei.

Among them, Chen Yingjun and Liu Zheng, who played in the CBA, are the absolute main players of the Taipei team. Chen Yingjun is also the captain of the Chinese Taipei team in this Asian Games.

As the No. 2017 pick in the CBA in 23, Chen Yingjun played 10.2 games on behalf of the Guangzhou team in the first season, averaging 2.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and [-] steals per game, helping the Guangzhou Dragons and Lions break into the playoffs for the first time in team history. He is also known as "the strongest No. [-] pick in CBA history."

As an old opponent of the Chinese team, the technical feature of Chinese Taipei this year is the double guns in the backcourt: the two players, Chen Yingjun and Liu Zheng, organized and attacked with the ball.

Soon, it was the day of the match, that is, August 8th. The Huaxia Men's Basketball team ushered in the second round of the knockout round, which is the semi-finals. The old opponent of the Chinese team-Chinese Taipei team!

Today, the two semi-finals will be played. The Chinese men's basketball team will face the Chinese Taipei team, and the Iranian men's basketball team will face the South Korean men's basketball team.

To return to the pinnacle of Asia, the Huaxia men's basketball team must remove the stinky and hard roadblock of the Chinese Taipei team, and wash away the shame with a huge point difference, so this game is also particularly interesting.

At this time, facing the upcoming game, the head coach of Taipei is the 70-year-old C. Parker. He seems very relaxed at this time. It is a surprise that the Taipei Men's Basketball team can reach the semi-finals this year. It would be even better if they can go further.

"Guys, I know that some of you may think that this game is nothing to worry about. Facing the strong Chinese team, we have no chance of winning anyway, and we have advanced to the semi-finals, exceeding the set goal. But what I want to say is, since we have already reached this point, and we are only two games away from the championship, how can we surrender without a fight." Taipei team coach Parker is mobilizing before the battle to stimulate the morale of his players.

"In this case, why don't we fight together, maybe a miracle will happen, my fate is up to me!!!"

"The coach is right. We can't stop here. We still have a chance. Even if the opponent is full of talent, we also have our advantages. Persistence is victory!!!" As the captain of the team, Chen Yingjun was the first to jump out to support the coach's speech.

"First of all, the Chinese team has Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi on the inside. None of our players are taller than two meters. Therefore, our inside line is completely at a disadvantage in front of the Chinese team."

"So, don't have any fluke mentality, and use our enthusiasm!" Parker said as he stretched out a finger, and continued: "The only thing I want to emphasize is offense! I need you to show our Taipei team's most powerful outside offensive level. Only when the outside shot is opened, can we have a chance of winning!"

Hearing what Parker said, many players in the Taipei team frowned. After all, the Chinese team has a powerful center like Zhou who has an absolute advantage in height and wingspan. It is not easy to break through the strict defense of the Chinese team.

"What? Are you worried that you won't be able to do it? It's all come to this point, we have no way out, there is nothing to worry about, the fight is over, and I believe that you will be able to do it." Parker encouraged.

After Parker finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Yingjun and Liu Zheng, and continued, "The Chinese team's inside line is very strong, but the back line is not very strong. This is our breakthrough point, so during the game, you have to put as much pressure on their back line as possible."

……

At 7:[-] in the evening, the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team officially began.

After a short opening ceremony and players warming up, the starting players of the two teams stepped onto the field.

The five starting players of the Chinese Taipei team are point guard Chen Yingjun, shooting guard Liu Zheng, small forward Jian Hao, power forward Zhou Bochen, and center Chen Guanquan.

As for the Chinese team, the starting five are point guard Liu Zhixuan, shooting guard Li Yang, small forward Ding Yanyuhang, power forward Zhou Qi and center Wang Zhelin.

Immediately after the players from both sides entered the field, there was a noisy discussion among the audience.

"I'm not mistaken, that's Li Yang, and Li Yang has made his debut again!!!"

"My God, it's really Li Yang, Li Yang! Coach Li Nan is really great."

"Li Yang made his debut again! It seems that Li Yang has settled down in the starting lineup. I can see Li Yang's superb three-pointer, coquettish movement, and flying speed, and this time it is not the last moment of the game, but the beginning of the game. Just thinking about it makes me excited!!!"

After a short discussion, the audience immediately burst into endless cheers.The cheers were of course given to Li Yang. Through these outstanding performances, Li Yang has already gained unparalleled popularity in the country. Whenever he appears, fans will give him applause without hesitation.

……

The number one generals of the Taipei team, Liu Zheng and Chen Yingjun, sorted out their equipment and prepared to go on the field. They were discussing how to organize the attack after the game started.

"The point guard of the Chinese team is Liu Zhixuan. This player is a seasoned veteran. We have played against each other in the CBA. He is a versatile player who can seamlessly switch from the first position to the third position in the backcourt. He can also provide a stable three-point shot output on the offensive end." Liu Zheng said solemnly.

"However, his physical fitness is relatively average. We can use the full-court press to greet him in a while!"

At this moment, the audience suddenly became a riot, followed by continuous cheers.

Chen Yingjun frowned, still not used to it: "The Indonesian fans are still so enthusiastic, but this is normal, after all, it is Indonesian style..."

As we all know, Indonesian football games are famous for the high spirits of the audience and their enthusiasm.Players have heard about the boiling atmosphere here before they set foot on the field in Indonesia, but they can't fully appreciate the meaning of the boiling atmosphere until they actually come to the stadium, until they start their first game.

But a few seconds later, the cheers hadn't dissipated, which made Chen Yingjun a little confused.

"Even if it is enthusiasm, it shouldn't be like this. Why are the fans still cheering? This is not normal, no, something is wrong!" Chen Yingjun finally realized that something was wrong, and he subconsciously looked at the starters of the Chinese team who had already walked on the field.

"Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Ding Yanyuhang, Liu Zhixuan... Is there another one? There is another member of the Chinese team who didn't play? Wait? Could it be him again?" Chen Yingjun looked at the number 13 of the Chinese team. Although this number is very strange to him, this athlete is not unfamiliar at all. When Chen Yingjun saw the face of No. 13, he showed the original expression.

"Li Yang! The number 13 of the Chinese team turned out to be Li Yang! Li Yang has played! Is he firmly in the starting line-up?"

Chen Yingjun suddenly felt a little caught off guard. Although the CBA's strongest No. [-] pick has extremely rich game experience and extremely high golf quotient, he was not very sure of being in the NBA lottery pick for a while.

"Let's go ahead with the original plan first, and see what happens in the competition!" Chen Yingjun thought silently.
