Chapter 728 Untitled
The match between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Polish National Team kicked off at 9:2 pm on September 8 at the Wukesong Stadium.

Both sides are the teams that won the first game in the group stage.Whether it is the Chinese men's basketball team or the Polish men's basketball team, they are determined to win this game.The result of this game has a decisive impact on the qualifying situation of Group A.

In the pre-match interview, the Polish head coach Taylor praised the Chinese men's basketball team on the surface, but he was actually praising his own team.After all, judging from his calm look from beginning to end, Poland is full of confidence in this game against the Chinese men's basketball team.

In contrast, Li Nan's performance was very cautious.When facing the reporter, he said: "If you win this game, you will be able to qualify. Therefore, we will do our best!" Without Tate's blatant self-confidence, but his determination to win the game is no less than that of the opponent.

Of course, all the process and results cannot be decided by talk before the game.The two head coaches must have done detailed research on each other before the game and made many corresponding arrangements.These arrangements can make it easier for their respective teams to win.But the trend of this game is different from the expectations of the two head coaches.

Li Nan did enough homework for this game.Combined with the current staffing of the national team, he arranged a set of uncomplicated but practical tactics, which greatly tested Poland's defensive options.Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi on the inside line pulled up to the high position for An Luo and Guo Ailun in the backcourt to do a pick-and-roll in the corner area, and then use this to get rid of the Polish team's defense.

Poland chose to double-team An Luo or Guo Ailun on the line. Of course, they did not intend to completely surround the ball holder, and that would be unrealistic.They just use this kind of double-teaming to delay the opponent's advance and pass.

Poland's counterattack was completely expected by the Chinese men's basketball team.So when they encountered such a situation, An Luo and Guo Ailun had to get out the ball quickly before the flank formed.At this time, Yi Jianlian or Zhou Qi on the inside have already got an open opportunity after being released, and after receiving the ball, they can easily score.

The Polish team faced the double pick-and-roll tactics of the Chinese men's basketball team, and there was no feasible solution.So that the situation of the game gradually became less ideal for Poland.

The high and low positions of the twin towers at the beginning of the game, An Luo and Qi's three-pointers all benefited from the breakthrough of Poland's defense against pick-and-rolls: the Tianchao men's basketball team used high-position pick-and-rolls to attack, Poland's defense against pick-and-rolls was weak, and the Tianchao men's basketball team was strong. 16: 9 starts.

The offense is excellent, but not only the defensive end is also very good.Li Nan set up a 3-2 zone defense, focusing on controlling the three-point line.During the pick-and-roll, the players of Datianchao will choose to double-team the ball holder.After Gortat retired and Lampe missed the game, the Polish team's inside line has become their weak link.Most of the scoring came from outside players.Therefore, after the Chinese men's basketball team contained the Polish peripheral offensive star players Podica and Slaughter, their offense became more difficult.

When An Luo lobbed the ball to Zhou Qi under the basket again, and the latter caught the ball and dunked successfully, Taylor quickly called a timeout.The Tianchao men's basketball team's offense has become smoother and smoother, and the point difference on the court has been stretched to double digits.

After returning from the timeout, the Polish players launched a low-post dislocation attack, attracting help defenses, and scoring multiple points. After the players played well, they still found some ways to stabilize their scoring.But Poland's score is still not much improvement.The most serious problem is that their shooting percentage has always remained in a very embarrassing situation.Especially the shots from outside the three-point line are even more embarrassing.Throughout the first quarter, Poland took 10 three-pointers, but only made 2 of them. The 20.00% three-point shooting rate was an important reason why Poland lost to the Chinese men's basketball team in the first quarter.

Five minutes after the first quarter, An Luo and Yi Jianlian went off to rest.An Luo only made two three-pointers in the 5 minutes of the first quarter.At other times, he is mostly active on the defensive end.Of course, this has a lot to do with Li Nan's tactical arrangements.When Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi were on the field, An Luo didn't get many opportunities.After all, in Li Nan's opinion, the closer to the rebound, the easier it is to score.

After the substitute players came on the field, Li Nan did not adjust his tactics in the game.He replaced Zhao Jiwei and Wang Zhelin, continued to pick and roll, and used high double screens to create scoring opportunities.Wang Zhelin's low-post singles were initiated as a tactic, attracting help defenses, echoing Zhao Jiwei's peripheral three-pointer.

However, in comparison, An Luo and Yi Jianlian's abilities are still much stronger.Poland used this to bring the score closer during this period of time.They do have to suffer tactically, but Slaughter and Podica's personal abilities are still outstanding. They have reduced blind long-range shots and constantly hit the opponent's penalty area.

首节战罢，天朝男篮25：20领先波兰5分。天朝男篮首节三分球7中4，而波兰在三分线外只有9中1。

Li Nan is satisfied with the performance of the players.But he still pointed out the problems that occurred in the game to the players, for example, Guo Ailun's aggressiveness, Zhou Qi's carelessness...

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Nan asked An Luo and Yi Jianlian to play with the substitutes.He did not go up to "training" with all the substitutes like in the previous game. There are too few opponents like Côte d'Ivoire. To play against Poland, he must go all out.Poland is all the main force. They are now the backward side and must pay more to have a chance to reverse the situation.

In this quarter of the game, An Luo got more opportunities.Before his appearance, Li Nan told him that he needs to do more on the offensive end in this quarter.

Physical strength has always been an important factor restricting the Tianchao men's basketball team.In many games, even if the opponents are those very strong teams, the players of Tianchao can play with the opponent evenly, or even have an advantage.But in the second half, they will be tied and overtaken by the opponent.Therefore, how to maintain enough physical strength for the players at critical moments is a headache for every head coach of the China Men's Basketball Team.

It makes sense for Li Nan to pin her hopes on An Luo and Yi Jianlian.You know, these two players have gained a firm foothold in an extremely competitive league like the NBA.The reserve and use of physical strength will have an advantage over other players.

In fact, An Luo was very happy to accept such an arrangement.He didn't come to the national team to "golden", he hopes to make more contributions.
