I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show

　　 Chapter 20, the national team lost

　　 US time, September 17, 1997.

　　 Xu Liang finished a day of training and returned to his apartment.

　　 Just as Xu Liang had just finished washing and was about to rest, Hu Weidong called.

　　 Hu Weidong made a phone call and only said a word.

　　 "Ryoko, play the Korean team tonight."

　　 Xu Liang also only replied a word.

　　 "I see, I will watch it tomorrow."

　　 In fact, it is quite strange to say that when the Chinese men's basketball team was in Asia, the grievances with the South Korean team seemed very complicated.

　　 And every time the Tianchao men's basketball team meets the South Korean team, they will be more excited and harder.

　　 This situation lasted from the 1980s to the 21st century.

　　 What kind of grievances existed between the two teams is now unclear.

　　 But Xu Liang knows that each of these players of the Chinese national team will do their best and do their best when facing the South Korean team.

　　 It's just that in this year's Asian Championships, coach Gong Luming officially resigned and was replaced by coach Zhang Bin.

　　 So Xu Liang always feels uneasy in his heart.

　　 But Xu Liang didn't care. After all, the Chinese men's basketball team has always been in the dominant position in the games between the Korean team for so many years.

　　 What's more, the current generation of national team players are all top domestic players of the 94 golden generation.

　　 According to the truth, the car should not be overturned.

　　 In order to watch this game, Xu Liang specially invited Popovich for a half-day vacation.

　　 After seeing the list of national team players, Xu Liang frowned.

　　1997 Asian Basketball Championship

　　Head coach: Zhang Bin

　　 Team members: Wang Zhizhi, Wu Naiqun, Sun Jun, Hu Weidong, Li Xiaoyong, Gong Xiaobin, Liu Yudong, Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, Wu Qinglong, Ji Minshang, Fan Bin

　　 This list of players will make Xu Liang frown, but it's not that these players are not good.

　　 It’s just that the positions of the players on this list are a bit strange.

　　 In this list of the national team, many inside players are the second midfielders, that is, the top players at the power forward position.

　　 The traditional center position, the top players in the country, in addition to Xu Liang himself, there are Shan Tao and Battelle.

　　 But the names of these two people did not appear in this list.

　　 Although there are Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin and other top second center players.

　　 But these two men play the power forward position all year round.

　　 Even if Wang Zhizhi played the center position in the CBA, his main style of play is more biased towards outside shooting.

　　 You must know that the position of center forward means center and core in English.

　　 In other words, the position of center is a very important defensive and offensive guarantee for any basketball team.

　　 The power forward is also called the second center in China. In the current domestic game, it is more of an auxiliary position.

　　 And know that the Korean team in this period is an excellent user of the quick offensive system.

　　 If there is not a stable enough center position player to sit under the basket, the national team cannot guarantee a stable rebounding quality.

　　 Then it is easy to be hit by the Korean team and quickly counterattack.

　　 After the game started, the Tianchao national team got a certain lead because of Hu Weidong, Gong Xiaobin, and Wang Zhizhi!

　　 It’s just that the problem is also here. Judging from the state of the game on the scene, only these three players in the entire team are in a good state, and the competitive state of the others is a bit sluggish.

　　 And if the whole team only relies on three people to attack and score, the continuity of the offense will be greatly affected.

　　Unexpectedly, it was in the third quarter. As the physical strength of the three Hu Weidongs decreased, the offensive efficiency continued to decrease.

　　 And at this time, no other player in the national team can take over the offensive baton of the three men.

　　 made the national team a scoring shortage for a while in the third quarter.

　　 And the South Korean team used this period of time to score several quick counter-attacks many times.

　　 makes the difference between the two points instantly equalized.

　　 Fortunately at this time, Gong Xiaobin stood up again, keeping the score between the two teams in a relatively balanced state.

　　 By the fourth quarter, Gong Xiaobin's physical strength was also close to bottoming out.

　　 Soon the national team's scoring drought appeared again.

　　 At this moment, the value of a center is reflected, if at this time the national team has a stable and strong center.

　　 can at least have the ability to kill against the basket in a scoring shortage.

　　 And this job, whether it is Battelle in the CBA now or Shan Tao, can do it very well.

　　 As time goes by, the South Korean team gradually began to increase the score, and seeing the point difference gradually widened, the national team players began to be a little impatient.

　　 And South Korea took advantage of the impatience of the national team and scored several counter-attacks.

　　 With one and a half minutes left in the game, the point difference was directly pulled to double digits.

　　At this time, all the players of the national team began to bet on three-pointers impatiently.

　　 But the result is obvious, too hasty shot.

　　 and a slightly chaotic offensive system, making the three-pointer shooting rate very low.

　　 At the end of the final game, the national team and the South Korean team scored 72:86.

　　 And the failure of this game also means that the Chinese national team lost the qualification to participate in the 1998 World Championships.

　　 And this time the results of the Asian Championships were also the worst for the Chinese national team ~www.wuxiahere.com~ since entering the 1990s.

　　 also made the national team Asian Championships 5 consecutive championships ended.

　　 After watching the entire game, Xu Liang was silent.

　　 Except for Gong Xiaobin, Hu Weidong, and Wang Zhizhi throughout the game, all the other players were like sleepwalking.

　　 Liu Yudong's performance throughout the game was also very disappointing.

　　 But for Liu Yudong, Xu Liang can also understand it. After all, this year's Liu Yudong, injury has really affected him too much.

　　 It’s just that Xu Liang still has no way to understand, why not bring Battelle and Shan Tao into this Asian Championship.

　　 After the game, Xu Liang was silent for a while.

　　 then reached out to the phone, but there was no call after a pause for nearly a minute!

　　 Xu Liang originally wanted to make a call to Hu Weidong, but Xu Liang suddenly found out that he was calling and he didn’t know what to say to Hu Weidong?

　　Furthermore, Dong Ge is also a very mature athlete after all. At this time, it is best to leave his own time to digest and summarize.

　　 Finally Xu Liang sighed, turned and left the house, and went to the Spurs training hall.

　　 Xu Liang had just arrived at the training hall and was seen by Jalen Jackson.

　　 In fact, during the training process of Xu Liang in the past few months, it is not Duncan who has the best relationship with Spurs players, but Jalen Jackson.

　　 On the one hand, it is because of the tacit understanding between Jalen Jackson and Xu Liang and the longest training time.

　　 On the other hand, the relationship between Jalen Jackson and Xu Liang is mutual achievement. The positions of the two do not overlap, so there is not much competition.
