Chapter 724 Perfect Debut
An Luo played 6 minutes in the first quarter, made 8 of [-] shots and scored [-] points.He didn't get many opportunities on the offensive end. If he wasn't consistently efficient, he basically wouldn't get a chance to show himself.

In comparison, An Luo's performance on the defensive end is even more outstanding.He not only blocked the opponent's starting second position, Aboyo, but also provided great help to Guo Ailun and Zhai Xiaochuan. 2 steals and 1 block, this is his report card in 6 minutes.No one can do better than him!More importantly, these numbers are only part of what he does on the court.With him, everyone feels at ease about the defense of the national team for the first time.

When An Luo left the court and returned to the bench, the audience at the scene responded with extremely warm applause and cheers.In fact, to An Luo, such a voice was nothing.Every night in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the sound he heard was louder than it was now.However, An Luo has never felt so proud.After all, at Chesapeake Energy Arena, he's just a city hero.But in Wukesong, he will become a national hero.

30:18
This is the score after the first quarter.Among the 18 points scored by Côte d'Ivoire, 8 points were scored in the last 3 minutes.At that time, the Tianchao men's basketball team was already full of substitute players.But Ivory Coast still kept half of the starters on the field.If they want to bring the game back, they can only use this method.

During the intermission, Li Nan fully affirmed the performance of the players in the first quarter.However, he still didn't show a trace of relief.As the head coach, Li Nan has a heavy burden on his shoulders to play games at home with the expectations of the people of the whole country.Therefore, it is normal for him not to relax.

Players are different.Those who have personally played against each other know the strength of Côte d'Ivoire best.If nothing else, it will be an easy victory.Either the Chinese players suddenly lost power, and they couldn't play all of a sudden; or the Ivorian players suddenly went berserk, feeling overwhelmed, no matter how they shot.

But in any case, it is not realistic.

In the second quarter, An Luo sat on the bench for the entire quarter.It's not that Li Nan didn't trust him, but that Côte d'Ivoire was defeated too quickly.Even the eldest nephew and A-Lian politely went up and ran for 2 minutes.

With a 12-point disadvantage, Côte d'Ivoire's main force is all out, ready to fight in the second quarter.

Unfortunately, things backfired.Facing half of the rotation lineup of Datianchao, they were beaten 8:0 as soon as they came up.

Zhou Qi, who had no chance to perform in the first quarter, finally got a chance to show his skills.Diabate used a screen to break through for a layup, and after being interfered by Zhou Qi, he hit the edge of the basket.In this defense, Zhou Qi not only prevented the opponent from scoring, but also grabbed a defensive rebound.He took off extremely fast for the second time, coupled with the advantage of height and wingspan, he easily caught the basketball.

Then, he threw the ball to Zhao Jiwei, who came off the bench, and let the latter organize the next offense. He took his long legs and ran beyond the three-point line.Although he does not have the impact of Guo Ailun, Zhao Jiwei's organizational skills are very good. Surrounded by Ivorian players, he passed the ball to Zhou Qi who was in the open position and received an assist.

As a player who came out of Houston, Zhou Qi's three-point shooting skills are still very good.After receiving the ball, he took a shot on the spot, adjusted his position, then exerted strength with his legs, pulled up and threw the ball into the basket.

In this quarter, Zhou Qi scored 3 three-pointers.And he only played 5 minutes.Under such circumstances, substitute players such as Zhao Jiwei, Wang Zhelin, and Abdul Saramu got more opportunities and all performed well.

By the end of the first half, Ivory Coast had trailed by as much as 25 points.At this time, the suspense of the game is basically gone!
But Côte d'Ivoire is not reconciled to ending his debut in this World Cup like this.

In the second half of the game, Côte d'Ivoire's offense was extremely fierce.Their morale was not crushed by the 25-point disadvantage, but they became more determined.

The two core players, Diabate and Dion Thompson, performed eye-catchingly.Of course, their offense is still very simple. After starting one-on-one singles or pick-and-rolls, they seize the opportunity to make shots.But the same tactics, the effect is better than the first half.Diabate made consecutive hits from beyond the three-point line, and Dion Thompson made consecutive hits and penalties at the basket. Côte d'Ivoire quickly narrowed the point difference to less than 20.

Li Nan seems to want to take this opportunity to exercise his rotation.An Luo still didn't play for the first time, and even Yi Jianlian sat on the bench together in this quarter.

I have to say that Li Nan's approach is a bit arrogant.But he soon corrected himself.When Dion Thompson once again tricked Zhou Qi into scoring two points, the point difference suddenly narrowed to 14 points.In other words, in less than 5 minutes, the opponent beat them by 11 points!
Li Nan quickly replaced An Luo and Yi Jianlian.It is very important to hone the lineup, but it is more important to win the game steadily.

Facing the Chinese men's basketball team with all the main players, Côte d'Ivoire once again entered a very passive situation.The combination of Diabate and Dion Thompson is obviously not the opponent of An Luo and Yi Jianlian.Different from the first quarter, the re-appearing An Luo was more active in the game.From the three-point line to the basket, shooting, cutting layups and even dunks, he can do anything.

The last quarter of the game turned into garbage time.An Luo played politely for a few minutes, but at that time it was meaningless, and An Luo didn't show much.

Counting back and forth, An Luo only played for nearly 15 minutes.Compared with his time in the Thunder, this is quite a bit worse.However, he is not a special one.Twelve players from the entire team got playing time in this game.Zhou Qi played the longest, but it was only 21 minutes.Of course, World Cup matches are only 40 minutes long.

虽然上场的时间少，但是安洛的表现却非常的出色。整场比赛，12投8中，砍下了21分。这里面包括4记三分球和1次罚球。除此之外，他还贡献了2个篮板3次抢断1次盖帽。

This game is An Luo's first show in the World Cup, and his performance can be said to be quite perfect!Whether it is offensive or defensive, his performance is impeccable.
