The Way of the Center

Chapter 177: : Group stage abuse

Although only a few days ago, Anjie's performance in training made everyone in the national team admire him. ☆☆WwW.c⑨⑼.o~Wonderful~Oriental~Literature~☆☆

In the confrontation training, neither Wang Zhizhi nor Yi Jianlian could limit An Jie's performance.

Although he was beaten up by newcomers many times, Wang Zhizhi was not angry, but his originally "bitter melon-faced" smile was getting more and more. With Anjie, the national team shouldn't experience much decline in strength during the period when Dayao is absent.

"You have good footsteps. I heard that you just came back from the Olajuwon training camp?" Wang Zhizhi's inside footsteps can be said to be No. 1 in Asia without exaggeration. This is his unique skill that he has accumulated over the past ten years. . But An Jie, who is only 20 years old, has already surpassed his "Asia's No. 1" in terms of internal footwork.

"Well, I have practiced with Olajuwon for a while, but Wang's footsteps have also impressed me." An Jie is not to say flattery. For a player who plays in China for many years, Wang Zhizhi's footsteps are not even better than those of some levels. Poor inside line.

"It's okay, don't take a mouthful of brother Wang, just call me Dazhi." Wang Zhizhi smiled and patted An Jie's shoulder, just as Gong Luming and Guo Fuqiang walked into the training ground.

"Anjie, it’s okay for your jersey number to wear No. 12, right?" Gong Luming held a notebook with a list of players that will be submitted to the organizer. However, in the jersey number column, An Jie is still blank.

"Number 12?" An Jie felt strange, isn't the jersey number all picked by the players themselves? Whether it's still or not, it's all like this.

"Oh, the rules of FIBA ​​are different from those in the United States. Players can only choose numbers from the numbers 4 to 15. You are a center, and the number should be larger, and the number 13 belongs to Yao Ming, so I'll get you the number 12." Gong Luming saw An Jie's dilemma and explained it patiently.

"Oh, I really don't understand this. Let's go on the 12th, the 12th." An Jie scratched his head embarrassedly. These days, the FIBA ​​and the rules are different, so An Jie remembers something. The head is big.

On August 5, the day before the start of the game, Guo Shiqiang finally opened the training ground. Reporters and fans swarmed in, and this was also an opportunity for Guo Shiqiang to give players contact with the outside world before the game.

In the past, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and others were the most popular among the media, but today, most of the reporters have chosen to surround An Jie.

"How does it feel to be selected for the national team for the first time?"

"The teammates of the national team are very good to me and have given me a lot of help. I feel very happy to be selected for the national team and play with these outstanding people." Facing the inquiries from domestic reporters, An Jie could only do one by one. Answer patiently.

"As the first Chinese to win the Rookie of the Year in history, do you think you are already the strongest player in the national team?" There are thorny reporters in every corner of the world, and China is no exception.

"No, no, I'm just a newcomer to the national team. I need to learn a lot from others." An Jie smiled and waved his hands, but everyone knew that although the 20-year-old An Jie lacked experience, he was Now the strongest player in the national team!

"What is your goal for hosting the Asian Championships in mainland China this time?"

"Champion, we must win. I think with everyone's joint efforts, we can complete the task."

An Jie’s talk to the media is more sophisticated than many players who have played in the national team for several years. This may be the difference created by the environment. After every game, Anjie has to face countless reporters, which made him learn how to deal with this group of people.

After the training, Guo Shiqiang also held a special press conference. The national team players all wore official game jerseys and stood in a row to dazzle the reporters.

Wearing a jersey that represents the country is completely different from wearing the Thunder jersey.

Later in the training ground, all the players and coaching staff participating in the Asian Championships were divided into three rows to stand and take a family portrait. This can be regarded as a traditional event that the Chinese men's basketball team must do before participating in international competitions.

An Jie, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian stood in the last row. The new China Mobile Great Wall is very much anticipated both domestically and internationally.

On August 6, the 2009 Asian Men's Basketball Championship officially began the group stage competition. The first opponent of the Chinese team is the Indian team whose professional basketball is not very popular.

Although An Jie is good, but as a rookie on the team, he is still ranked behind Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian as a substitute player.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, Guo Shiqiang sent An Jie. Anjie finally entered the FIBA ​​arena as a member of the national team.

An Shiran stared at the TV screen, his eyes were a little ruddy.

In their day, the salary of a basketball player was similar to that of an ordinary worker. In the past, An Shiran wanted to make a living by playing basketball, besides his love, it was also his dream to play for the country.

God did not let him embark on his own way of basketball, but he did not expect that his son would put on the national team jersey and fulfill his dream.

It's slow, soft, and technically poor. Although a bit impolite, this is indeed what Anjie said to the Indian players after he played.

After Sun Yue advanced with the ball, he dropped the ball into the penalty area again. An Jie succeeded in two previous singles.

Facing the defense of Indian center Matyou, Anjie didn't need to use fake moves at all. He hit the back directly and broke into the penalty area with O'Neal's crushing method. Take off the opponent, take off and dunk on the spot.

"It's too easy. An opponent of this level can't make An Jie's energy at all." The commentator is also very relaxed. In the first quarter alone, the Chinese team achieved a 25-point lead. This is simply a professional team. Playing against an amateur team.

In the second quarter, Wang Zhizhi got more rest time, because the Indian team simply had nothing to fight back.

An Jie and Yi Jianlian completely dominated the game. After An Jie took the ball with his back, he made a high toss pass and assisted Yi Jianlian to complete the air relay. The Chinese team rarely staged such a scene in the international arena.

The Chinese fans at the scene screamed frantically, while some of the national team's guards blushed a little. An Jie, who is 2.19 meters away, seems to have better passing skills than them!

This level of competition, to be honest, can't even reach the level. However, An Jie, who played for the country for the first time, was still very excited and didn't mean to be merciful at all.

At the end of the half game, the score became 62 to 21. This exaggerated score may only be visible in the international arena.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, Guo Shiqiang calmly played the rounds, after all, the Asian Championships day by day schedule is still very hard.

However, An Jie has only sweated a little until now, and he doesn't even feel tired at all. The fierce confrontation will greatly consume the players' physical strength, but the confrontation of this kind of game will not cause any loss to An Jie's physical strength.

On the other hand, the players of the Indian team, especially the inside players, are all panting and sweating.

Most viewers who watched live TV chose to switch channels, because this first game was really boring. No way, most children in Indian families can't even afford a pair of basketball shoes. Professionalism is a long road.

49 to 121, the local Chinese men's basketball team presented an unforgettable "welcome ceremony" to the Indian team.

Six of the Chinese team scored in double figures, and An Jie, who came off the bench, scored a game-high 22 points and played 6 of 7 shots without pressure. In order to limit the performance of China's domestic players, the Indian team had to make crazy fouls. Yi Jianlian and An Jie both got more than ten free throw opportunities. Unfortunately, these two Chinese big men are very good at projecting.

The performance in the first game was excellent, and Anjie was praised all over the country. Yao Ming even called An Jie himself, and he broke An Jie severely. He knew that he didn't look away.

The group stage continued on August 7, with the Chinese team’s second opponent being the Kazakh team. Although the Kazakh team is much better than the Indian team, they are obviously not enough to be considered a threat in front of the Chinese team.

The Kazakh team's shooting percentage in this game was only 31, which also allowed Anjie and Yi Jianlian to catch a lot of rebounds.

A Lian and An Jie scored a double-double at the same time, Yi Jianlian 17 points and 10 rebounds, An Jie 23 points and 14 rebounds, Wang Zhizhi also easily scored 15 points. In the end, the men's basketball team won again with a big gap of 84 to 54. Two consecutive victories also allowed the Chinese team to qualify early as expected.

In the third group match, against Qatar, the strongest opponent in the group, the Chinese team still did nothing wrong.

An Jie and Yi Jianlian cooperated more and more tacitly. In this match, An Jie once again sent a pass, and Yi Jianlian took advantage of the opportunity to get up and complete dunks. The scene was so exciting.

In the end, the more blooming Chinese team easily defeated their opponents. Yi Jianlian had 15 points and 7 rebounds, Wang Zhizhi had 12 points and 4 rebounds. An excellent mobile phone will not be much, but there are also 19 points and 9 rebounds. And An Jie, who got such data, actually didn't exert his full strength at all.

After all three group matches, the Chinese men's basketball team won all three games and qualified. The most eye-catching players are not Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, but An Jie, a newcomer to the national team.

"Let me just say it, that kid won't have any problems." Gong Luming said relaxedly to Guo Shiqiang. He is very happy that a basketball talent has appeared again in the country.

After a three-day break, the second stage of the group stage kicked off. On August 10th, the Chinese team met their first opponent in the second round, the UAE.

The UAE asked the UAE to play in the UAE. Yi Jianlian's 18 points and 11 rebounds clarified the origin of this joke. And Anjie's 17 points and 9 rebounds made the UAE worse.

The Chinese team dominated the game as always, and finally defeated its opponents in the second round of the group stage 88-59, but it was as easy as the first round.

On August 12, the schedule continued. The Chinese team ushered in the strongest opponent since the Asian Championships, Jordan.

Jordan is a strong team, and it is also a traditional strong team in Asia. To play a strong team, Guo Shiqiang will arrange more shots for the core of the team. The advantage of this is that the data of Yi Jianlian and Anjie have soared across the board.

Although Anjie and Yi Jianlian completely dominate the inside line, the level of the Chinese team's outside players is really not necessarily higher than that of Jordan's players.

The game was very anxious, and it was different from the previous games with exaggerated points. Although the score is very close, under the joint hands of Anjie and Yi Jianlian, the Chinese team has always controlled the direction of the game. It's just that the two of them can't rush to the outside to defend others' defenders.

It was not until the last minute that the match was decided. 89 to 84, this is also the smallest difference between the Chinese team and their opponents since the Asian Championships.

An Jie got a lot of shots and free throw opportunities in this campaign~www.NovelMTL.com~ he scored 29 points and 18 rebounds. In Asia, few people can do this kind of data. Yi Jianlian also performed strong, with 23 points and 11 rebounds. The two of them penetrated the Jordan team's interior.

In addition, Wang Zhizhi, who freed up inside space, also scored 13 points by relying on his shooting ability. The total score of these three people has exceeded 60 points, accounting for three-quarters of the team's score.

Although the win was a bit thrilling, the Chinese team still maintained a record of victory and successfully advanced. In the quarter-finals, the Chinese team will face Chinese Taipei.

At the end of the group stage, Anjie averaged 22 points and 12 rebounds per game. In the Asian arena, Anjie's statistics can only be described by one word, an exaggeration.

You must know that this is the data that Guo Shiqiang obtained by strictly controlling the number of players' shots. If Anjie can make more than ten shots like in the Thunder, his data will only be more scary.

In terms of rebounds, Yi Jianlian, who ranked second in the rebounding list, had two fewer than An Jie, and Wang Zhizhi, who was third, had five fewer than An Jie. The overwhelming strength advantage makes Anjie no difficulty at all in the Asian Championships. The new mobile Great Wall of the Chinese team has swept the top three positions in the rebounding list.

This is a nationally valued competition, but Anjie is as easy as playing a commercial warm-up match. This is the huge gap between this league and other basketball events.

The strong performance of the Chinese men's basketball team made the fans look forward to the moment when the Chinese team won the championship, but in the next knockout game, everything can happen.

Can Anjie's strong performance be continued in the knockout rounds? To be continued.
