One day later, the men's basketball team competed with the Philippines team.

The Philippine team is much weaker than the Jordanian team.

Although this men's basketball team in history lost, it only lost by 5 points, and due to lack of experience, it led by 11 points in the first half but was reversed in the second half.

As a result, it was now played in three quarters, and the opponent was easily defeated 65 to 44.

Lin Ying's statistics were mediocre, only contributing 11 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks.

Well, the reaction of the Filipino players was exactly the same as when the men's basketball team played a full-court confrontation.

Lin Ying's defense is so suffocating!

Can you imagine a pick-and-roll on the opposite side, Lin Ying switches defense and directly presses and intercepts the Philippines' leading defender Alapag?

That was simply a devastating blow to the opponent's confidence.

After the two games, the Chinese team's record is 2 wins and 0 losses, which is the same as Iran's record and tied for first place in the group.

The last game of the group stage is also the battle for the top spot in the group.

This game was extremely fierce, and Hadas had the advantage in the confrontation with Zhang Kai.

Moreover, in this game, the Iranian team also had a surprise player named Amy Bahrami, who is Bahrami’s brother.

Chen Lei couldn't guard against him.

And he was very smart in playing, avoiding Lin Ying.

If Lin Ying didn't come up, he would hit it by himself. As soon as Lin Ying came up, he would push the ball towards Haddadi under the basket.

As a result, after the whole game, the Iranian team beat the Chinese team by 3 points 79 to 76.

Lin Ying scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, but still failed to help the men's basketball team win the game.

On the Iranian team, Bahrami was in a sluggish state and made 0 of 5 shots, but his brother Amy Bahrami scored 16 points and 8 assists.

Of course, the one who performed the most viciously was Haddadi.

At this time, he was only 22 years old, with a height of 2.18 meters and a weight of only 113 kilograms.

But this size still blew Zhang Kai away, and there was even a direct dunk scene. In the end, he scored 31 points and 10 rebounds.

A very interesting scene is that after the game, Old Karl took his "part-time translator" O'Connor to communicate tactics with Ah Dijiang.

Ah Dijiang is available for free charging in China.

After losing this game, it was a bit of a shock to the domestic fans.

Of course, the main thing is... to spray Zhang Kai.

It is impossible to discover the emergence of the golden generation of the Iranian team.

What they think more about is that teams from West Asia can also lose?!

To be realistic, this year in history, the men's basketball team finished tenth in the Asian Championships, and the comments online were basically trash about the men's basketball team, saying it was closer to the national football team.

Many of the people who said those words had never seen the game at all, and they didn’t even know who was sent.

So don't think too rationally about the fans at this time. If they were rational, things like Liu Xiang in 2008 would not have happened.

But it's actually not bad. After all, in the group stage, if you lose one game, you can still play in the following games.

The competition format of the Asian Championships is that after the group stage, it will go directly to the quarterfinals.

The top two of the original four groups ABCD were divided into two groups EF, and then A1 played D2 for the quarter-finals.

The Chinese team is second in the group, and their opponent is...the South Korean team!

No, this is actually quite good.

After determining the opponents in the quarter-finals, the attention of domestic fans immediately increased!

In competitions across Asia, the two opponents that fans are most concerned about during this period are South Korea and Japan!

Moreover, this Korean team is also highly anticipated by fans in the Republic of Korea.

The main reason is naturally that they have Hesheng Town!

You may not believe it. In 2002, the Korean media claimed that "Ha Shengzhen surpasses Yao Ming of the same age in all aspects!"

Universe Han is by no means in vain.

Although the next year after that, Yao Ming personally defeated their number one center in the world in the Asian Championships.

Then two years later, Yao Ming led the team to score twice, breaking the Korean team's largest score difference of 44 points in history.

Since then, the Korean media has calmed down.

But times have changed, and Ha Seung-jin participated in the 2004 draft and was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 46th overall pick.

Although he couldn't survive in the end and couldn't get a contract this year, he had no choice but to return to China to play.

But! The Korean media compared him with Yi Jianlian and Lin Ying again!

"Asia's No. 1 center!"

"Bounce ability, strength, weight, height, physical strength, mental strength, character, all aspects surround Yi Jianlian's existence!"

"Who is Lin Ying? You are not worthy of carrying shoes!"

…

Worthy of being Cosmic Han.

The clamor from the Korean media also made fans angry.

In addition to online scolding, more fans still choose to go to Japan to watch the game live.

Watching this kind of game live is not as enjoyable as watching it live.

Of course, there were also many people here who came to watch Lin Ying play ball.

Although his draft pick was not as good as that of Yi Jianlian, his performance in the Crazy Three was so tough that it was difficult for people to dislike him.

CCTV may have finished the dragon boat race and arranged a live broadcast.

Su Qun and Zhang Weiping, the two most famous commentators at the moment, are both on the show.

The war between China and South Korea has attracted a lot of attention.

Domestic fans who could go to the venue did so, and those who could not go also chose to watch the game online in large numbers.

In fact, the number of viewers of CCTV + certain wave together was more than that of the previous crazy three games.

There is no way, in the eyes of the Chinese audience, they just like to watch the national team's games more.

Even among these viewers, they may not just be fans. Those who usually like to watch national team games will stop on the channel to watch for a while.

Koreans are so hateful.

During the opening ceremony, the lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

For the Korean team, Ha Seung-jin, Kim Joo-sung, Kim Min-soo, Yang Dong-geun, and Kim Seung-hyun.

The South Korean team won all three games in the group stage and its two-point shooting percentage was as high as 61%, the highest in this Asian Championship.

Ha Shengzhen averaged 19 points and 9 rebounds in three games.

Well, their opponents in the group stage are Hong Kong, China, Taipei and Syria.

It is worth mentioning that a year ago, the Korean team changed from old to new, and the Chinese men's basketball team was stopped in the quarterfinals at the Doha Asian Games, setting its worst result.

Now that they are facing the men's basketball team again, their biggest goal is naturally to complete their revenge.

Now that the men's basketball team is average, this is their best chance.

On the Chinese team's side, perhaps because of previous exchanges with Karl, Adijian put up a shorter lineup for this game.

He replaced Zhang Kai with Chen Chen, who had performed well as a substitute, pushing Yi Li to the fourth position and Lin Ying to the fifth position!

This is the same as the University of Texas back then, which is about to compete with the Korean team.

But as a result, the average height of the Chinese team on the field was instantly shorter.

Moreover, with Yi Li as the power forward, Lin Ying will have a hard time on the defensive end.

Although, this is actually a choice made out of desperation, as long as Wang Lei or Ding Jinhui are around, Ah Dijiang doesn't have to do this.

But look at the look in Old Karl's eyes on the stage, it's not just as simple as providing some tactical suggestions to Ah Dijiang.

He wanted to see Lin Ying's limit!

After all, when it comes to one-on-one defense, Lin Ying defended Oden alone in the NCAA semifinals, so it shouldn't be a problem to defend against Ha Shengzhen.

But what if we also need to take into account assisting defense?

Lin Ying: You old guy is not a human being!

Before the game started, the camera scanned the stands.

There are still a lot of female fans, and there seem to be more female fans in Japan!

Obviously, they came here to support Lin Ying and Yang Ming, a couple with good looks.
