Chapter 725 Test and Confidence

75:55
This is the final score of the match between China Men's Basketball Team and Côte d'Ivoire.Under Li Nan's arrangement, the gap between the two sides has not been continuously widened.In fact, they are capable of that.But obviously, Li Nan is unwilling to spend too much on Côte d'Ivoire.

Datianchao's 75 points are not particularly outstanding in the eight games on the first day of the World Cup, but Côte d'Ivoire's 55 points are the lowest, which can be regarded as the word "most" in this day's games.

Looking at the first two games of the four groups of A, B, C, and D, each game has something amazing.

There is a stunning difference in score.Spain 101:60 Tunisia, Serbia 105:59 Angola, Italy 108:62 Philippines.In one day, three teams had a net difference of over 40 at the same time!It has to be said that the gap in the level of basketball in the world is too great!Compared with these few games, Datianchao's 20-point net difference seems too ordinary.

On the whole, European teams still show a superior level.They won all five games on the first day.Looking at the Asian teams, Da Tianchao became the only Asian team to win today!Iran, Philippines, South Korea all lost the game.

The most regrettable thing is the old opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team, the Iranian team.They have been ahead of their opponents for almost the entire game, but they were defeated by their opponents at the last moment.In the game with Puerto Rico, Iran once led the opponent by 18 points.However, the main force of the Iranian team is too old and suffered a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.Especially Bahrami and Haddadi, when the two veterans were exhausted, Puerto Rico launched a counterattack.They tied the score to 50 with less than 78 seconds left before the end of the game, laying the foundation for the final lore.At the last moment, Puerto Rico veteran Mojica stepped forward and scored a 0.8 lore!

Of course, this is good news for the Tianchao men's basketball team.Puerto Rico can be regarded as indirectly helping the Tianchao men's basketball team to become the best Asian team for the time being.

In this day's game, there have been many outstanding players.Puerto Rico veteran Huertas scored 32 points, becoming today's scoring leader.Followed by South Korea's naturalized player Luo Jianer who scored 31 points.Leaving aside the nature of South Korea, Luo Jianer's performance is still very good.He provoked the offensive end of the entire South Korean team alone, which is very good.An Luo's 20 points are considered excellent, but not outstanding.Haddadi grabbed 16 rebounds and became today's rebounding leader.Guo Ailun narrowly beat Jokic and Rubio with 10 assists and became today's assist king.

After the game, Li Nan took An Luo and Zhai Xiaochuan to the post-match press conference.

"We are very happy to win this game! We implemented the coach's intention and played our style both offensively and defensively. However, this game is just the beginning. We should, as Director Li said, a game Going to play games one by one..."

Compared with Zhai Xiaochuan's vigilance, An Luo's answer was more objective.

"Our strength is stronger than the opponent, and winning is a matter of course. But Côte d'Ivoire showed a tenacious fighting spirit. Their defensive strength caused us great trouble in the third quarter. Fortunately, Director Li changed it in time. This allowed us to suppress our opponents again. Of course, this is still a relatively easy victory. I hope we can also play well in the next two games."

"There are no underdogs in Europe. There is no doubt that Poland is a strong team! Their overall strength is higher than that of Côte d'Ivoire. However, as long as we remain focused enough and play our own game rhythm, it is not impossible to beat them things."

"I am satisfied with my performance in the game. It is something to be proud to help the team win the game in such an event. In fact, from the first day I played, playing for my country has been my biggest dream ...This is my first World Cup, but it's not the first time I've played in the national team's jersey. I know how to play with my teammates and we know how to win games."

After three years of training as a professional player, An Luo is now more and more comfortable when facing reporters.He can always easily resolve those tricky problems.For example, when the reporter asked about Li Nan's use of him in this game, An Luo answered very cleverly.

"For the game, victory is always the most important. Each of us is here with the same dream. As long as we can help the team win the game, we are willing to play the whole game, and we are also willing to Applause for teammates on the sidelines. I think every player likes to use the shortest time to help the team gain a greater advantage!"

Li Nan spoke highly of the performance of the players.

"I'm very happy that we got off to a good start in this World Cup. The players performed very well, especially Alian, An Luo, Xiao Chuan, and Zhou Qi. They showed very strong strength on both ends of the offense and defense. Everything we expected before the game.”

Of course, those reporters also asked again about Li Nan's arrangements for the players' playing time.

"There are many young players in our team. Many of them are playing for the national team for the first time, and many problems have been exposed in the game. But this is what young people have to go through when they grow up. Whether it is me, or The players themselves hope that everyone can get more exercise through the game. This is of great significance for the subsequent games and the growth of the players themselves."

Throughout the press conference, Li Nan's expression was not particularly relaxed.Even when he was praising his players, the happy look was still a bit reluctant.After all, Côte d'Ivoire is too weak!Winning is what it should be.A day later, he will lead the men's basketball team against Poland.This is the real test of the Tianchao men's basketball team in the first stage of this World Cup.

"We all know that Poland is very strong. In today's game, they also won a victory. Venezuela is not a weak team. But for us, it is not a mountain that cannot be climbed. I have great respect for our country. The lads on the team are full of confidence!"

Although I told reporters that I am full of confidence, I am afraid that few of them really have much confidence from the bottom of their hearts.Of course, An Luo is an exception.He doesn't know much about the international basketball world, and the only thing he knows about the Polish team is the video of the match between the opponent and Venezuela.But the ability demonstrated by Poland did not worry An Luo.
