All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

September 2, Fukuoka International Sports Center, Japan.

This stadium, which had always had a low attendance rate before, was rarely full today because the Chinese and Japanese teams met early in the quarterfinals of the Asian Championships.

In the 1990s, although Takehiko Inoue's "Slam Dunk" became a precious memory for countless Chinese born in the 80s and 90s, even if "Slam Dunk" was revived, it could not solve the fact that basketball has a small audience in Japan.

In addition, after the Chinese men's basketball team began an era of dominance in Asia, the Chinese men's basketball team has monopolized Olympic tickets for nearly 20 years. Therefore, Japanese basketball's status in the Japanese sports circle has not been high.

And in this Asian Championships, don’t believe it if I tell you...

Except for the Chinese team's games, even for the Japanese team's own games, it is difficult for the attendance rate to exceed 50%.

The reason why the Chinese team’s games have high attendance...

It's not because Japanese basketball fans want to come to the scene to admire the style of this Asian Galaxy battleship.

Simply because of the local Japanese girls in Fukuoka...

I'm just very interested in Su Feng, a handsome guy from the comics.

By the way, on the court, when the players of the two teams were warming up before the game...

In the commentary box, while reading the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team, Japanese commentator Takeda Hikosuo said with envy:

"Not only are the main players of this Chinese team experienced in many battles, but even the alternate players are all well-known players in Asia."

On the side, guest commentator Nakamura Hikosuke said after a long sigh: "What a terrible team!

Can you believe that their ace in the lineup...

Are players like Yao Ming and Su Feng only 19 and 21 years old respectively this year? "

Hearing this, Takeda Hikoki shook his head and said: "In the next ten years, it will be difficult for Asian basketball teams to compete with this Chinese team!"

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the game, when he noticed the local slogan about the game in Fukuoka, Su Feng almost died from "thunder"...

Because although Su Feng didn't speak Japanese, he could still roughly understand the Japanese written on the posters.

Like some kind of imperial Tyrannosaurus rex...

How dare you believe that this is a nickname given to little Yao by the Japanese?

What other current strongest person from the galaxy...

Hong Kong Zhen, for a second, Su Feng felt that he had to transform immediately and transform into a Saint to save Athena.

However, although these slogans are extremely mediocre, from the side, you can also see the Japanese people's deep-rooted worship of the strong.

As the first match of the knockout round for the Chinese men's basketball team, compared with the previous group matches and rematches, the entire men's basketball team also showed a "high" importance to this quarterfinal match.

For example, in order to investigate the strength of naturalized player Michael Takahashi in the Japanese team, Hu Weidong went to watch the Japanese team during previous games.

Then......

If Hu Weidong's evaluation of Michael Takahashi is translated into the Internet language commonly used in the future...

That's roughly as follows:

That's it?

Is such a player worthy of being called "Japanese Jordan"?

No way...

If you want the men's basketball team to go all out in Asian competitions, then you have to let the Koreans naturalize Kobe.

Of course, although Michael Takahashi's level is not very good in Hu Weidong's opinion, after watching the Japanese team's game, Hu Weidong believes that the Chinese men's basketball team should still pay a little attention to a shooting guard of the Japanese team.

And this shooting guard will also be one of the legends of Japanese basketball in the future.

——Oritake Shigehiko.

The 29-year-old Oritake Shigehiko is 190 centimeters tall and weighs 77 kilograms. He has a very accurate shooting hand.

And Su Feng was familiar with his name.

Because of the future, this guy has been playing until 2020, and has just ended his career at the age of 50.

And in 2011, Oritake Shigehiko was expelled from the Japan Professional League because his team went bankrupt...

Therefore, in order to continue his career, Oritake Shigehiko spent all his savings to establish a new basketball club.

I have to say that Oritake Shigehiko is indeed an avid basketball fan.

On the court, when Su Feng noticed that the Japanese team was being guarded by Shigehiko Oritake tonight, he couldn't help but look at this guy for a few more seconds.

"Su Fengjun, although my strength is far inferior to yours, I will definitely let you see that I am not inferior to yours...

Love for basketball! "

After noticing Su Feng's gaze directed towards him, and looking up at Su Feng, Oritake Shigehiko suddenly spoke to Su Feng in his very non-standard English.

Su Feng: "..."

Crooked, enough!

Labor is not the hero of a shounen manga!

Ahem, let’s get down to business.

Different from previous games, tonight the Chinese men's basketball team sent an inside combination composed of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi for the first time in the starting lineup.

On the front line, Su Feng and Hu Weidong were partnered.

In addition, as for the point guard, Li Xiaoyong still takes the blame.

“I always thought Takahashi was a tall, muscular player.

But this time standing with Yao Ming of the Chinese team, I feel like Takahashi is like a middle school student. "In the commentary box, Takeda Hikoo said with emotion when he noticed Yao Ming and Takahashi in the center of the court preparing to jump ball to start the game.

“This is what’s scary about the Chinese team!

Not only do they have a height above you, but in terms of mobility, Yao Ming's mobility is far superior to other inside players in this competition! " Nakamura Yansuke added.

"Speaking of which, Su Feng hasn't performed well in this competition. Is it because he no longer pays attention to Asian-level competitions?" Takeda Hikoo said curiously.

"Perhaps this is the arrogance from the NBA emperor. If you want me to do my best, you must at least have that qualification!" Nakamura Hikosuke said.

On the court, while two Japanese commentators were explaining to the Japanese fans, Xiao Yao easily defeated Takahashi in the jump ball.

The Chinese men's basketball team played the first attack, and Li Xiaoyong was responsible for dribbling the ball through half court.

Before the start of this game, although public opinion in Japan generally believed that the Japanese men's basketball team could knock out GG in advance, it was obvious that the Japanese players on the field tonight still wanted to try to create a miracle.

only......

On the court, the moment Li Xiaoyong passed the ball to Su Feng, Oritake Shigehiko, who was responsible for guarding Su Feng, didn't even have time to react before Su Feng disappeared in front of him.

Many years later, Oritake Shigehiko recalled his confrontation with Su Feng in an interview.

"It was really like a gust of wind. You only felt the breeze blowing in front of you, and Su Feng disappeared without a trace."

Bang-dang——!

In the penalty area, Su Feng made a one-handed smash after breaking through!

At this moment, Mount Fuji seemed to be split into two pieces by Su Feng!

"In Toronto, Canadians once said that Su Feng was their light of the north!

And today, as soon as the show started, Su Feng, the ‘Light of Asia’, shone brightly! "On the commentary table, Takeda Hikoo explained.

(Canadian fans: How come we don’t remember what we said?)

"What a shocking performance. Even in comics, I have never seen such a powerful dunk!" On the side, Nakamura Hikosuke also sighed with emotion.

In the stands, this sports center that can accommodate more than 5,000 people was already immersed in the shock that Su Feng's opening dunk brought to them.

And looking back, just when the Japanese team was about to form a three-point tactics through passing and cutting...

As the core of the Japanese team's outside attack, Oritake Shigehiko, who originally thought he had gotten rid of Su Feng, was about to take action...

I saw that terrifying figure again!

This is......

Oritake Shigehiko, who chose to take the shot by force, just watched as Su Feng confiscated the basketball he had thrown from the air!

Immediately after landing, Su Feng quickly speeded up and crossed the court like lightning.

Usually in the Japanese team, Takahashi, as a naturalized player, often performs the so-called "aesthetics of violence" for these Japanese players with average physical fitness.

However, on the court, the moment I noticed Su Feng taking off two steps before the free throw line and dunking with both hands...

Even Takahashi himself felt the huge gap in talent between him and Su Feng...

Bang-dang——!

"Is he really human?" Japanese commentator Hiiko Takeda asked.

"It feels like compared to Su Feng, our outside players are as weak as babies." Nakamura Hikosuke said.

On the court, after two consecutive dunks, Su Feng hit his chest and felt that all the sweat he had shed in the devil's special training in the summer was indeed worth it.

Because now, he is the real "Toronto LaVine"!

On the court, it was the Japanese team's turn to attack.

Through passing and cutting, the Japanese team found their naturalized player Takahashi this time.

However, just when Takahashi was about to turn around for a layup, Xiao Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, directly treated him to a Shanghai Haidilao.

"This is simply a wall of sighs. Can we really jump over such a giant to score in this game?" Japanese commentator Hiiko Takeda said in surprise when he saw this scene.

"As expected of the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Empire, facing Yao Ming, Takahashi has no power to fight back!" On the other side, Nakamura Hikosuke added.

On the court, after Yao missed Gao Qiao, Hu Weidong grabbed the second spot, and then the "Chinese Jordan" dribbled the ball to launch a counterattack.

In this life, because of his experience in the NBA, compared to his strength itself, in Su Feng's view, what really makes Lao Hu stronger is his confidence and ability to fight in high-intensity games.

After Hu Weidong quickly dribbled the ball across half court, he raised his hand and threw it away regardless of whether there was anyone in front of him.

And his sniper shot, in a sense, you can even understand it as a blind sniper.

Because with Hu Weidong's eyesight, it was impossible for him to see the basket clearly.

Swish——!

Hu Weidong raised the knife and scored another three points for the Chinese men's basketball team.

7 to 0!

In front of the TV, who knows how happy Chinese fans are in this era...

Because although they all dominate Asia, the Chinese men's basketball team in this generation is so flexible in terms of playing style.

In the first half of the game, with the cooperation of the "Suhu" combination, the outside line that the Japanese team has always relied on for survival was quickly completely defeated by the Chinese men's basketball team.

Under FIBA's rules, because FIBA's three-point line is shorter, when shooting three-pointers, people like Su Feng and Hu Weidong, who in the NBA itself, throw around...

What are the concerns?

Coupled with Xiao Yao's rebounding guarantee, you can completely understand the Chinese men's basketball team's play tonight as:

————Xia Jiba beat.

Only 8 minutes into the game, the Chinese men's basketball team had already led the two teams to 25-7.

And then, under the successive attacks of Wang Zhizhi, Batter, Xiao Yao and others...

Because they were afraid of the Chinese team's outside firepower, the Japanese team's already short inside players could only be described as collapsing at the first touch.

During the halftime break, looking at the desperate score, Japanese commentator Takeda Hikoo said with emotion:

"Although this statement is unfair to the players who have not given up yet, I think we must celebrate in advance that the Chinese team has reached the semi-finals."

"This is the strength of the strongest representative of Asian basketball!

Maybe the score of this game will be very humiliating, but losing to such a strong player is not a shameful thing in my opinion. "Besides, Nakamura Yansuke said.

"Indeed, after all, in the NBA, even a monster like Shaquille O'Neal has never defeated Su Feng even once." Takeda Hikoo continued.

"Yes! To be honest, at this moment, even as an opponent, I can't help but start to look forward to the performance of this Chinese team in the Olympics next year." Nakamura Hikosuke said.

"Sydney Olympics?

Well, I think after conquering Asia, the next goal of this Chinese team should be the American Dream Team, which has always been at the top of world basketball, right? "Takeda Yansheng said.

"It is said that Asians are not suitable for playing basketball, but whether it is Su Feng or Yao Ming, they have shown us that Asians can also be successful in basketball.

Therefore, the Chinese team, please continue to move forward with the love for basketball that all Asian teams have! "

After the halftime break, because the score gap between the two teams was too big, the outcome of this game obviously lost its suspense.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Japanese players on the field fought hard until the last second.

It's a pity that in competitive sports, it all comes down to strength.

In the end, 106 to 65, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully advanced to the semifinals with a 41-point victory.

In the whole game, Su Feng played 19 minutes and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and 2 assists.

Yao Ming posted a dominant performance of 24 points, 21 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 5 assists.

Then, the next day, in the semifinals against the Chinese Taipei team, the men's basketball team easily won 105-64.

Before this semi-final against the Chinese Taipei team, Taiwanese fans were originally looking forward to "Taiwan Jordan" Zheng Zhilong being able to compete with Su Feng...

But after the game, even Zheng Zhilong himself admitted that he and Su Feng were not players of the same level at all.

But don't tell me, in terms of strength, Zheng Zhilong is indeed the player closest to Hu Weidong in Asia during this period.

It's just that in this game, under Su Feng's guard, Zheng Zhilong found it difficult not to mention scoring, but even taking a shot.

And on the 4th, in the final against the South Korean team, the Chinese fans who were really looking forward to the South Korean team being able to force Su Feng into his strongest form...

They were all disappointed. UU Reading www.uukanｽｈ.net

Because, in this final, it took the Chinese men's basketball team less than 10 minutes to successfully kill the suspense of the game.

In the end, 109 to 59, the Chinese men's basketball team won a 50-point victory and once again reached the top of Asia with a victory in seven games.

As for CCTV, Director Zhang also lamented immediately: "This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and coincidentally, the Chinese men's basketball team also defeated the Korean team by 50 points in the finals."

On the side, Director Sun smiled and said: "There is God's will in the dark.

This Asian Championship championship is the best gift the men's basketball boys can give to their motherland on her 50th birthday.

Let us congratulate the Chinese men's basketball team again. They successfully won the championship of this Fukuoka Asian Championship and got tickets for the Sydney Olympics next year! "

On the court, when I was preparing to win the Asian Championship trophy with my teammates, I looked at the total iron value of 135 million gained this time in my mind...

Su Feng knows that for the Chinese men's basketball team, next year's Sydney Olympics will be the real test.

Therefore, Su Feng does not think that conquering Asia is a joy.

And next...

How the Raptors will defend their title next season is also a headache for Su Feng.

In short, the road is long and only honor can accompany you.

For Su Feng, who is only 21 years old, his career has just begun...
