Vol 3 Chapter 156: Halftime

I thought that the Chinese men's basketball blue team, lacking Yi Jianlian, would suffer in the interior when facing the Iranian team. But unexpectedly, they would easily score in the opponent's penalty area at the beginning.
　　 An Luo's air cut, the timing is too accurate. Just found the Iranian team's defensive loopholes.
　　 Yao Ming, who was watching the ball on the sidelines, was very satisfied with this attack. It can be seen that the coaching staff and players have fully prepared for this game.
　　 He was not surprised by Anluo's performance. He understands the strength of players who can average 20+ per game in the NBA. However, Hu Jinqiu's performance did surprise him. The ball passed very beautifully, and if he didn't react, An Luo would run for nothing.
　　 It seems that he is correct to split the national team into two. These young players have been trained and their growth is really visible to the naked eye. Even if you can't win this Asian Cup, it's worth it!
　　 Next, the red team will also go to the world preliminaries. Although you can directly participate in the World Cup as a host, it is also a rare opportunity for experience. By then, those players will grow very quickly!
　　 After two years of training like this, you should be able to compete with the world's best teams in the World Cup!
　　 Thinking of this, Yao Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was under more pressure than anyone else.
　　 Looking back, Iran still handed the ball to Haddadi. He catches the ball at the top of the arc and leans to the left. Hu Jinqiu followed Hadadila to a high position. Ren Junfei was left alone at the basket.
　　 The other Iranian players all started running the moment Haddadi caught the ball. Jamsidi and Ahazali took the defender and rushed to the left elbow after a cross-screening outside the three-point line, and Ahazali used Haddadi's screen to break through the Chinese team's periphery. The line of defense has reached the restricted area.
　　Ren Junfei can't come up to cover Yahachari. When he moves, the opponent directly passes the ball to the open Kazimi, then the opponent wants to score too easily.
　　 Sure enough, Haddadi passed the ball to Ahazali. Apart from Ren Junfei, who guards Kazimi, there is no Chinese team player in front of him.
　　 "It's easy! Two cents are credited!"
　　 was thinking so, a red figure suddenly rushed in front of him from the left elbow area and took the ball away.
　　 It turned out that An Luo, who had been following Ahachali, did not chase after the opponent after being blocked by Haddadi, but accelerated from the other side and let it go.
　　 An Luo, who had a successful steal, threw the ball directly to his nephew who was almost down to the center line. Fast counterattacks are not always fast. After all, no matter how fast a person runs, the ball does not fly as fast.
　　 The eldest nephew who received the ball directly speeds up. He hits the basket like he is stepping on a hot wheel, easily picks the ball into the basket, and scores two more points for the Chinese team.
　　4:0, the Chinese team started with a great momentum.
　　 Then, Haddadi stood up. This time, he immediately went to the basket after a high screen, catching the ball and beating Hu Jinqiu. Hit the first goal of the game for the Iranian team and also caused a foul by Hu Jinqiu.
　　 is "Asia's No. 1 Center" after all! Hu Jinqiu couldn't stand the opponent at all.
　　 If only Ah Lian was here!
　　 At this moment, almost all fans thought of Yi Jianlian. Of course, including the players on the court, Du Feng and Yao Ming on the sidelines think so.
　　 Among the two teams of the Chinese men's basketball team, I am afraid that only Yi Jianlian can play against Haddadi. The others are still too tender.
　　 An Luo ran over and patted the other's ass, comforting Hu Jinqiu, who was a little annoyed.
　　 "Find a chance to hit him!"
　　 Steadily scored a free throw and Iran closed the score.
Looking back, Anluo, under the double cover of Li Gen and Hu Jinqiu, went from the right forty-five degree angle position along the three-point line to the left bottom corner, and shot against Jamsidi who had come over. Scored the first three-pointer of the game.
　　 7:3, the Chinese team continued to maintain its advantage.
　　 Next, both sides' offense played very well. You and me are one by one, not giving way to each other. The Chinese team can't limit Haddadi's scoring at the basket, and Iran can do nothing about his nephew's breakthrough. After all, they must always guard An Luo this point. For them, the defense against An Luo cannot be relaxed at any time.
　　 This is the role of An Luo. A stop on the court is a threat to the opponent!
　　 This situation continued until the end of the first half. In the 20 minutes of the first two quarters, An Luo played a total of 17 minutes. This is the longest time he has played on the court since the start of the Asian Cup. The Iranian coach is like D'Antoni possessed. Except for Haddadi's 5-minute break, the other players have not been rotated.
　　 Du Feng was also helpless. He tried to let other players replace An Luo. But the effect of playing is far worse. Both the offensive and defensive power will be greatly reduced.
　　 Fortunately, there are only 10 minutes per quarter in the international arena. This is not too long for An Luo. In addition, the way he plays on the court does not consume much energy, so there is no problem.
　　 Halfway through the game, the Chinese team has the upper hand. Judging from the score, they are only 7 points ahead of Iran. But in these 20 minutes, the Iranian team has always been the lagging side. They were behind the Chinese team by 12 points at the most.
　　 Ahachali, one of the troikas, was completely blocked by An Luo and played no role. Kazmi was tied to the basket and turned into a blue collar. If it weren't for Jamsidi's outstanding performance, the Iranian team would have fallen behind even more.
　　 During the intermission, the Chinese players gathered around Du Feng, listening to his summary of the first half and the arrangements for the second half.
　　 "We have to run..."
　　 He didn't actually talk about anything new. He played very well in the first half and there is no need to make changes in advance.
　　 The players are not as nervous as they were at the beginning. After all, at the beginning, everyone didn't know much about it, and many people felt they couldn't beat it. Later, Yao Ming came over to cheer them up and analyzed it carefully, which was considered a reassurance.
　　 In fact, everyone was still sighing at the beginning. After all, the Iranian team was subdued by their predecessors. Now that people like myself are a little afraid, it's really shameful.
　　 So at the beginning, these guys played quite aggressively. Both the offensive end and the defensive end showed an indomitable momentum.
　　 Now that half of the game has been played, everyone discovered that the Iranian team is actually like that.
　　 Before everyone knew it, they were relieved.
　　 It turned out that I can clean them up.
