Throughout the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team, which changed its lineup, was completely cheating. Not only did it defeat the Philippine team on the offensive end, it was unable to fight back, but it also greatly restricted the opponent's foreign aid on the defensive end.

Especially on the two points of Yi Jianlian and Zhao Feiyang, the opponent's foreign aid Haggis and Jamil not only failed to get any benefits, but also made several inappropriate mistakes.

By the end of the third quarter of the game, the situation between the two sides had reversed.

The Chinese men's basketball team leads the Philippine men's basketball team 64 to 59.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded and the players from both sides took a break.

"Well done!"

"You continue to rest in the next section...Xin Yong, Xu Haoran, you continue..."

Head coach Xu Lei arranged.

Soon it’s the last section.

Without the support of Zhao Feiyang, Yi Jianlian and others, the China Men's Basketball Team has returned to its previous state. Although Xin Yong, Xu Haoran and others competed very actively, there was indeed a gap between their offensive performance and that of foreign players.

However, the Philippine men's basketball team is lagging behind. The more anxious they try to recover the score, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

In this case, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team barely maintained its lead until the final moment of the game.

Head coach Xu Lei looked nervous throughout the game, standing in front of the team bench and pacing. He looked towards the bench several times, as if he was planning to put on the bench, but in the end he suppressed his restlessness.

call out.

When the referee's whistle sounded and the game was finally over, head coach Xu Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The score on the timer read 84 to 81.

In the end, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team defeated its opponent with a 3-point lead.

Although there were signs of defeating the opponent in this game, they still won the game. The fans at the scene also cheered and applauded after the game, happy for the victory of the China Men's Basketball Team.

However, when the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team walked towards the players' tunnel, the fans on both sides of the tunnel paid little attention to Xin Yong, Xu Haoran and others.

Most people focused on Yi Jianlian and Zhao Feiyang, especially Zhao Feiyang. The fans almost shouted and screamed like crazy, and some even wanted to jump down and take a photo with Zhao Feiyang.

A series of actions all fell into the eyes of Xin Yong, Xu Haoran and others.

"It's too exaggerated...Isn't it just playing in the NBA?"

"Is it okay to jump down? Let me see, let him be a team, we can't afford it..."

"Let him go! We are still young anyway, and the future of the national team is ours, not his..."

After the final warm-up match of the national team men's basketball team, the Asian Cup qualifiers are about to begin. A few days before the start of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team took a flight to Lebanon.

This time the Asian Cup will be held in Beirut, Lebanon, where 16 teams will gather together.

In addition to the original teams in Asia, there will also be teams from Oceania such as Australia and New Zealand.

The Asian Cup competition is also divided into three stages.

First of all, the first stage is the group stage. The 16 participating teams are divided into 4 groups by drawing lots. There are 4 teams in each group. The group stage adopts a round-robin format. Each team needs to compete once with the other 3 teams for a total of 3 rounds.

The top three teams in each group advance to the second round, with a total of 12 teams.

In the second round, 12 teams were divided into Group E and Group F. The top four teams in these two groups advanced to the quarterfinals.

If teams in the same group have played against each other before, they will not meet again in the rematch.

After the start of the quarter-finals, the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals will be played according to the rules of single-elimination knockout.

In this Asian Cup qualifier, the Chinese men's basketball team is quite lucky. It is placed in Group A, which is not too strong. The opponents in this group include Chinese Taipei, Syria, and Jordan.

Such a group of opponents undoubtedly makes the Chinese men's basketball team feel very relaxed.

After all, these opponents have played against each other more or less before. For the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, these teams are not too threatening.

Compared with the Australian team and the New Zealand team, where the strength gap is more obvious, these opponents are all within the range that the Chinese men's basketball team can win.

On the third day after arriving in Beirut, the Asian Cup qualifiers officially began.

The Huaxia Men's Basketball Team faced its first opponent, the Chinese Taipei Team, in a large local gymnasium.

The two teams have never been on the same level. One is at the provincial team level at most, and the other is at the national team level.

Generally speaking, opponents like the Chinese Taipei team are simply not enough to watch.

But who would have expected that in the 2013 Asian Championships in Manila, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Chinese Taipei team. At the time, this incident caused an uproar. After all, it was completely unbelievable to most fans.

Although the Chinese men's basketball team does not have Yao Ming, there are still players like Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue. What level are they?

Zhu Fangyu has outstanding three-point shooting ability, Yi Jianlian has played in the NBA, and Sun Yue has gone to the Lakers to experience. On the other hand, the opponent Chinese Taipei team cannot produce a player who has been in the NBA.

With such a huge gap in strength, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team actually lost.

78 to 96.

This is the final score difference between the two sides.

After the game, the Chinese men's basketball team also came to the forefront and was wildly ridiculed by countless fans. The Basketball Association was in chaos and began to try various methods to save the Chinese men's basketball team that had fallen into a trough.

Although the Chinese Taipei team has never defeated the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team in the following time, and was even defeated by a big score in most cases, this is still a low-level mistake that cannot be ignored for Huaxia Basketball.

Before the game.

Head coach Xu Lei called the players together. Today's lineup is still dominated by Xu Haoran, Xin Yong and others, while Zhao Feiyang, Yi Jianlian and others continue to sit on the bench.

"This is the first game of the qualifiers. Our opponent is not strong, so we must win this game..."

"I was there to watch the game in Manila in 2013, and I was a member of the assistant coaching team at that time... I believe many of you also know about this, so I will never allow that. Happens again..."

"If anyone fails to even play the Chinese Taipei team, don't blame me for turning against him and telling him to get out of the national team..."

"clear."

Faced with coach Xu Lei's harsh words, the players all nodded in response.

call out.

The game started soon.

The two sides walked onto the court to prepare for a jump ball. The Chinese Taipei team sent their only naturalized foreign aid Wilson up, and center Li Yue also did his part and took the initiative to go up and fight.

The referee throws the ball out.

Snapped.

Wilson slapped the ball out first, and the players on the Chinese Taipei team got the ball.

They adopted fast break tactics and quickly advanced to the half court with the ball, but then rushed into the two zones with the ball to take action. Center Li Yue stepped up to defend and slapped the Chinese Taipei players.

Snapped.

The basketball flew straight away.

There was an uproar.
