Chapter 158
The format of the Asian Championships is somewhat unusual. After the group stage, there will be a rematch stage.

The top three teams from each group of ABCD four national teams will qualify, the top three teams in Group AB will form a new Group E, and the top three teams in Group CD will form Group F. Those who have played against each other in the first stage will no longer match each other, and the team in Group EF will be determined. The top four in each group will then proceed to the final knockout round.

So on September 9, the Chinese team entered the first round of Group F, facing the Syrian men's basketball team from the east coast of the Mediterranean.

"The number 15 in Syria is quite tall!" Tang Wenlong sat on the bench and waited for the game to start.

Yi Jianlian said with a smile: "Yes, the number 15 is Hammerway, and he has excellent height and wingspan."

"It's been more than two months since the lockout, and there's no sign of the NBA starting a new season. How about it? What's your plan?" Tang Wenlong asked.

"What else can we do? Just wait." Yi Jianlian didn't care about the lockout. His contract with the Wizards expired, but he hasn't received an offer from the Wizards yet. Agent Fagan said that the probability of the Wizards making an offer is less than two. Yes, make other plans earlier.

It was hard for Tang Wenlong to say anything. He had just been established as the core of Philadelphia not long ago. Comparing the two, he felt that he was much luckier.

"Will you go back to Guangdong? How will the agent arrange it?" Tang Wenlong asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Yi Jianlian did not avoid suspicion, and nodded in response, "It is really possible to return to Guangdong. Now that the NBA is suspended, you can't stay away from work. You can go back to Guangdong to play for a while, and then return to the NBA when you have the opportunity. "

Tang Wenlong said with a smile: "You are a good way. I heard that some players like Zhejiang and XJ are close to signing with some NBA players, and some are even in their prime."

"You mean Jr-Smith? This guy has already signed with Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank, a few days ago." Yi Jianlian said.

"Already signed? Damn it, so fast?" Tang Wenlong was taken aback. It's not even the start of the NBA regular season. He didn't expect that the nerve knife would sign with the CBA. It really is different.

"Yes, so this season's CBA may also be different. Like earlier, Wilson Chandler also signed with Zhejiang Guangsha, and Kenyon Martin was close to signing with XJ."

"Why are they all from the Nuggets?" Tang Wenlong was drunk, what happened to the Nuggets?
The two sat on the sidelines chatting, very relaxed, like the Syrian men's basketball team, there is no need to pay attention to it at all, the gap between the two teams is a bit big.

About one, two, 10 minutes later, at the exact time, the referee walked onto the field.

The pre-match ceremony was to sing the national anthem. Tang Wenlong wore a red shirt, looked up at the five-star red flag hanging in the distance, and stood with his hands behind his back, feeling a sense of glory spontaneously.

Amidst the warm applause of the audience, the game began.

It was Yi Jianlian who jumped the ball, Tang Wenlong was on both sides of the center circle, and Liu Wei was preparing to catch the ball in his own half.

Deng Huade sat on the bench and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Facing the Syrian men's basketball team, he really didn't have any pressure at all. At the least, there were at least three NBA-level players in the Chinese team.

Liu Wei steadily controlled halftime, Tang Wenlong walked to the bottom corner to ambush, Yi Jianlian pulled out to set up a pick-and-roll with Liu Wei.

The Syrian player was delayed in the pick-and-roll and directly double-teamed Liu Wei. Liu Wei turned around and hugged the ball. Zhu Fangyu from the flank moved to a high position to respond. At this time, Yi Jianlian went down. A ground strike was passed to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian jumped up and dunked with both feet facing the basket, Harmoway avoided the limelight, the basket slammed, and the Chinese team took the lead.

"nice shot!"

Tang Wenlong clapped his hands and applauded to encourage him. His attack was purely for soy sauce, and he didn't even move.

But even if he doesn’t move, the Syrian men’s basketball team treats him like a formidable enemy, strictly guarding against him. The Syrian No. 6 who is facing him never leaves his eyes. Wherever Tang Wenlong goes, he will follow him. It doesn't matter whether other players have missed positions.

"This is the legendary brown sugar defense. I didn't expect it to appear in the international arena." Tang Wenlong thought to himself.

The venue of the international arena is a bit smaller than that of the NBA, and the three-point line is also a short distance away. Every time Tang Wenlong plays a game, it feels like a group of big guys moving within the three-point line of the NBA arena, and they never go beyond the three-point line.

Syria's offense was simple. After a few turns, it was handed over to a low-post, tall and long-armed inside singles.

But the Chinese team's interior is very strong, and they have always been proud of the glory of the interior. For example, Wang Zhizhi, who is now partnering with Yi Jianlian, was once a talented player selected by the Mavericks. He defended Syria's interior without leaking.

The Syrian inside line squeezed twice and couldn't squeeze anymore. He half turned around and hooked his hand.

"Here!" Tang Wenlong made a posture of catching the ball with both hands, while the Syrian men's basketball team quickly retreated like a frightened bird.

Tang Wenlong took the ball and pushed forward quickly. His ball handling is top-notch in the NBA, and it is even more terrifying in this international competition. When the 2-meter-high man runs, he thinks of a small tank. The key is, there is no Man can delay him.

No. 6 bit the bullet and stepped up to defend. Tang Wenlong quickly made a Stockton-style cross-step during the march, swaying left and right to pass the defender.

Speed ​​to the next level!
Syria did not form a defensive line. Tang Wenlong drove straight in from the side, and flew directly outside the paint. Facing the empty basket, his body spun in the air, and then pulled the ball back to his crotch with both hands.

Backhand a drawbar buckle!
He is the dunk king!The citizens of Wuhan were excited. In reality, how many people have seen such a dunk that is so elegant without losing the sense of power, suspended in the air and exaggeratedly difficult?

Tang Wenlong fell to the ground, not to mention the Syrian men's basketball team, the players of the Chinese team were all dumbfounded!
Then, accompanied by deafening roars and cheers, the men's basketball bench reacted. Sun Yue, Zhang Zhaoxu and others took the lead to stand up and applaud.

"Fuck, what a scary guy, he looks like LeBron James!" Yi Li looked shocked. He is also the famous dunker of the current Chinese team, and he and Tang Wenlong are both from Jiangsu, but a comparison found that , I may be able to make my split buckle elegant, but there is absolutely no way to complete the drawbar back buckle like Tang Wenlong just did. It requires not only the jumping ability, but also the core strength of the abdomen!
Two minutes later, Tang Wenlong received the ball from a low position, leaned his back, turned around and made a fallback jumper. The Chinese team led 2-10 in the opening game. The Syrian men's basketball team requested a timeout.

"How can we defend against such a powerful person?" At this time, the head coach of Syria also looked helpless. Tang Wenlong's competitive level is obviously not at the level of Asian basketball, and the Chinese men's basketball team with Tang Wenlong is obviously not as good. It is not something that the Syrian men's basketball team can fight against. Just like the Chinese men's basketball team with Yao Ming back then, it can easily sweep Asia.
