Chapter 328 Advance to the finals and face the host country
"Beep!!"
The final whistle blows and the game ends.
The Dragon State men's basketball team finally defeated the Iranian team 117:84 and won the semifinals.
They will start the finals tomorrow, and their current opponents are still unknown.
But what is certain is that it will be between the Philippines and South Korea teams.
In the group stage before, the Dragon State men's basketball team had already played against the South Korean team and won a complete victory.
As for the Philippines, I have not encountered it yet.
Judging from their performance in the game, the overall strength of the Philippines should be inferior to that of the Iranian team.
"Congratulations to the Longguo men's basketball team for successfully advancing to the finals. What they have to do now is wait for their opponents to qualify."
"In the next game, the answer will be revealed soon. You can predict who the Dragon Country men's basketball team's opponent will be in the final."
"The final time is scheduled to 07:30 tomorrow night, everyone, please stay tuned!"
In the Longguo Sports studio, host Yu Jia said excitedly.
Zhang Lili added: "Now we can predict tomorrow's final. We have played against the Korean team before, so I won't talk about it."
"Let's talk about the Philippines. If they become the final opponent of the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team, I feel that we still have a great chance of winning."
"Judging from tonight's game against Iran, as long as Qin Xiao exerts his strength, the opponent will have no intention of parrying!"
"No matter how good the Philippines' performance is, it is still on par with Iran. There is still a big gap compared to the Dragon Nation men's basketball team."
"But the outcome of tomorrow's game does not affect the result, because as long as we reach the final, it means getting a ticket to the World Cup."
"Here, I would also like to congratulate the Longguo men's basketball team again for securing a spot in the World Cup."
"This time next year, I hope they can shine on the World Cup stage!"
……
"The finals, we've reached the finals!"
Wang Zhelin smiled like a child weighing more than 200 pounds.
He is not only happy because he reached the final, but also because he got revenge on Haddadi tonight.
With the help of Yi Jianlian, they successfully restricted Haddadi's low post performance.
During the game, Wang Zhelin even gave his opponent two blocks.
For him, that was quite difficult.
"Zhelin, good job!"
The affirmation from senior Yi Jianlian was delivered as soon as possible.
Afterwards, others stepped forward to give Wang Zhelin the greatest recognition.
Only Qin Xiao didn't react at all, just silently arranging his jersey.
Seeing this, Wang Zhelin took the initiative to stick over.
"Team Qin, how was my performance today?"
I thought Qin Xiao would praise him like other teammates.
Unexpectedly, what awaited him was cold words.
"What? Do you think you are very powerful? With Brother Lian's help, you just managed to restrain your opponent. What are you proud of?"
"If it weren't for Brother Lian, you would have been beaten long ago. Zhelin, you let me down so much!"
Qin Xiao's words made Wang Zhelin's mood fall to the bottom.
"Team Qin, after all, Zhelin's performance today is pretty good. He is still young and has a lot of room for growth."
"Everyone knows that you are powerful, but you can't hold him to your own standards, right?"
"This is somewhat too harsh!"
Yi Jianlian also felt that Qin Xiao was speaking too harshly, so he immediately tried to smooth things over.
But Qin Xiao didn't listen at all and continued: "If you still have a sense of shame and want to prove yourself in front of me, next year's World Cup is your best chance! From now on, you still have one year to improve yourself. If If you fail to meet my expectations then! You will be disqualified from competing in the World Cup!"
This last sentence gave Wang Zhelin a huge stimulus.
After all, he is a young man, how can he stand such cowardice.
Even if Qin Xiao is the captain, he can't go so far.
Wang Zhelin, who was getting angry, immediately replied: "Why do you? Whether you can play in the World Cup is not decided by you alone."
Qin Xiao sneered and didn't take him seriously at all: "Really? If you continue to mess around like this, you can give it a try. You have to know that I am the captain of the men's basketball team and I am the absolute core of the team. The lineups on the website are all built around me, I can choose not to have you!"
These words completely swayed Wang Zhelin. He wanted to refute, but in the end he swallowed his words.
Wang Zhelin lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
He didn't understand why Qin Xiao only targeted him when there were so many people on the team?
After a moment of silence, he raised his head again and looked at Qin Xiao with firm eyes.
"Captain Qin, just wait. This time next year, I will definitely make you regret what you said tonight!"
After saying these words, Wang Zhelin left the dressing room directly and headed towards the hotel alone.
Qin Xiao looked at his leaving figure and raised the corners of his mouth. His goal was finally achieved.
He naturally has his own reasons for doing this. He knows very well how difficult the World Cup is.
Although the Dragon State men's basketball team played smoothly in the Asian Championships, there is still a big gap compared with those strong teams.
Wang Zhelin is a young man with potential, but his current ability has not yet reached its limit.
Qin Xiao wanted to stimulate him in this way, hoping that he would make a good improvement in the next year!
As long as the inside line of the Longguo men's basketball team is strong enough, he is very sure to lead the team to achieve good results and even create history!
Wang Zhizhi is old, and Yi Jianlian alone is not enough to support the penalty area, so hopes can only be pinned on Wang Zhelin.
If he still performs like this in this year's Asian Championships, even entering the World Cup next year will be in vain.
……
At the same time, the match between the Philippines and South Korea has officially started.
The two sides fought fiercely throughout the first half, but entering the second half, the Philippines' home court advantage gradually became apparent.
They obviously had more whistles than the South Korean team. In this case, the Philippines gradually gained the upper hand.
The South Korean team was not at all frightened. They still played tenaciously and resisted. The point difference remained at about five points.
Entering the decisive moment of the final quarter, the Philippines still holds the initiative on the court.
In the end, they narrowly defeated the South Korean team by seven points and won the game.
At this point, the opponent of the Dragon Country men's basketball finals has been announced, and it is the Philippines, which has the advantage of being the host.
The South Korean team, which unfortunately lost, will compete with the Iranian team for a World Cup ticket.
"As expected, it's the Philippines. Their strength isn't that great either. They only won by seven points even with the home whistle."
"How can we fight with this kind of performance? It seems that this year's Asian Championship champion is gone!"
All Dragon Kingdom fans are looking forward to tomorrow’s championship battle!
