Chapter 1428 The Disobedient Brother Needs Education (Part 1)
On August 10, in the second stage of the Asian Championships, all the games in the rematch ended, and the two groups of eight teams also determined their final rankings.
Although the Chinese team lost, it still ranked first in the group with a small point advantage. The Chinese team's opponent with 8 goals and 4 goals was the fourth place team in another group, Chinese Taipei.
The strongest player in the group next door is still the defending champion Iran. Iran has not only remained unbeaten in 7 games so far, but also averaged an astonishing 19.7 points per game, which can be described as full dominance.
Especially when they faced South Korea, a veteran Asian team, in the rematch, a 101-71 30-point victory caused the Koreans, from the coach to the players, to bow and apologize three times after the game. In the last game, three main players were rested. Despite the situation, they still defeated Japan, which is also a veteran team in Asia, with a huge advantage of 23 points, which gave people a deep understanding of Iran's strength in Asia.
"Our goal is to defend the title! We have the ability to defeat any team." Iran's core Haddadi said inflated after the game.
At the same time, Bahrami, who was known as Asia's No. 1 small forward before Ji Feng appeared, challenged the Chinese team, or directly challenged Ji Feng: "We have never met or played against each other before. I just watched After watching his video, I think he is very strong, so I can’t wait to play against him! If I win, can I become the number one player in the world?”
Bahrami is at the peak of his career at the moment. He is called by fans in Iran as the second person capable of establishing himself in the NBA. He has rarely lost this season, and he also performed well against strong teams in the Olympics last year. Performance, so it's no wonder that he is so eager to fight Ji Feng.
It was already on the 11th when the news reached Ji Feng's ears. Ji Feng had no fluctuations in this, because this is the most common thing that every player after becoming famous has to do. Ji Feng has long been used to it, just like Kobe. As he said, there are really too many people who want to challenge them. If they don't care about a word, then they shouldn't do anything else.
So Ji Feng just heard about it and let it go. Iran was definitely his target, but it was too early to think about it now. According to the schedule, the two teams could only meet in the finals, so he still believed that reaching the finals was more realistic.
There are still three days left before the eight-to-four match on the 14th. The Chinese team will naturally use these days to prepare for the next opponent.
After losing to Jordan, Guo Shiqiang held a meeting overnight to analyze the characteristics of Chinese Taipei. This was generally not needed in the past. After all, Chinese Taipei is a basketball desert in the eyes of many people. The average height is only 190cm, and the team is full of unknown players. Players, only two who play in the CBA are relatively familiar with them, but few others know them.
However, after losing, the coaching staff headed by Guo Shiqiang naturally did not dare to underestimate any opponent. There was still room for defeat in the rematch. Now it is the knockout round. If they lose again, they will be eliminated. Guo Shiqiang dares to be careless.
Especially when the opponent is Chinese Taipei, the little brother of the Chinese team in name only. If he loses, he will be a child who cannot find his mother and will be humiliated. By then, his job as a head coach will probably be over.
So even though Ji Feng led the team to a higher level than before in training during the past three days, Guo Shiqiang still continued to explain the opponent's tactics to the players, striving to be flawless in the next game.
There was no way, after losing on the field, Guo Shiqiang was really under too much pressure.
However, compared to the coaching staff, the team is very confident. This is all due to Ji Feng's influence on everyone.
Ji Feng, who returned from the line of fire, showed his strength in the first 5V5 full-court training session. He almost defeated all 5 substitutes by himself. He scored 68 points, 21 assists, 19 rebounds and 9 rebounds on Zhu Fangyu's head from inside and outside shots. He stole 9 shots and shot 85% from the field. The five main players historically beat the substitutes 148-49 with 99 points. After this training session, Zhu Fangyu even wanted to retire...
Guo Shiqiang was speechless on the sidelines for a long time. Without seeing it with his own eyes, it is difficult to believe that one person can bring such a big change to a team.
"With you here, I will retire immediately if I lose this game!" Sun Yue said after the training. There was no other way. Sun Yue experienced Kobe's treatment this time. Although his strength is not comparable to Kobe's, but in the With Ji Feng, for the first time, he felt that the data was just floating clouds, and he could take it however he wanted!
And just when the Chinese team regained confidence and concentrated on preparing for the game, Chinese Taipei was not idle either. To be honest, although the relationship between the two sides has eased in the past two years, everyone knows that this thing is like a castle in the air. For basketball, , Chinese Taipei will never show mercy when it has a chance to defeat China.
And this time, after China unexpectedly lost to Jordan, Chinese Taipei also found some confidence. Although we are weak, you don't look so strong!
There's no way, sometimes a brain is a good thing, but they really don't have one, otherwise they wouldn't have come to such a conclusion.
So when the first two teams entered the field at 8pm on the 14th, Ji Feng was surprised to find that there was a provocative person standing in front of him.
"Hey~! You are Ji Feng~! I heard you are very cool~!"
The person coming here should be named Zhang Zhifeng, Chinese Taipei's starting small forward in this game. Although he is only 183 centimeters tall, yes, he really plays the No. 3 position in this team.
If he had not known the opposing lineup beforehand, Ji Feng would not have had any impression of this person at all. The core of Taipei this time is point guard Li Xuelin who plays in the CBA, shooting guard Lin Zhijie and center Zeng Wending. These three are also from Taipei. As for the core of offense and defense, Ji Feng doesn't know any of the other players who play in their hometown.
So when this guy said "trash talk" with a Taiwanese accent, Ji Feng was really confused.
What the hell is this...
Can this also be called trash talk?
There is a hint of girliness in her thick Taiwanese accent, and with her height, the whole picture is full of joy...
"Practice hard and then you can learn how to talk trash like an adult." Ji Feng didn't give him any face, and walked directly past him. To be honest, if he listened to him again, Ji Feng was afraid that he could not help but stuff the basketball into his mouth. .
"You~! Just wait!" Zhang Zhifeng was angry. As their local new season MVP, he had never experienced such humiliation before. He was determined to let this arrogant guy feel the power of TW during the game!
However, after the opening ceremony, he suddenly realized that he was a bit wrong...
"Give me the ball later." Ji Feng said to Sun Yue, the starting point guard of the game.
There have been too many people nagging in his ears recently. This is his first game back in the country. It's time for these disobedient little brothers to feel the warmth of the big brother.
Scramble!
"Ah, Ji Feng appears in the center circle. Is Ji Feng coming to fight for the ball?" Yang Yi said in the commentary box. This is the first time he sees No. 3 fighting for the ball.
"Well, this is normal, the opponent's center is only 203 centimeters." Director Zhang said.
