Chapter 749 Top Eight!

The joy of victory and qualifying was brought to the post-match press conference by the players of Tianchao Men's Basketball Team.

When the reporter asked Yi Jianlian how he felt about the game, he, who has always been reserved, finally laughed heartily.Of course, his usual humility allowed him to praise his opponents well.

"It's a great thing to be able to win the game, especially our opponent is a European team like the Russian men's basketball team. We encountered a lot of trouble in the game. We trailed by more than ten points in the first half, and we still couldn't win the game. Turn the tide of the game. But we all know that when the game reaches the second round of the group stage, every game will not be so easy. After all, there are sixteen strongest teams in the world left. Before the game, we carefully studied the previous games of the Russian men's basketball team. It is undeniable that they are the stronger side in many aspects. They like confrontation, fierce defense, very perfect tactical system, and their perimeter offense is very strong ..."

To praise one's opponent is to praise oneself.Especially when this opponent has just been defeated by him, it is a kind of affirmation of himself.After Yi Jianlian finished boasting about the Russian men's basketball team, he began to shift the topic to his own team.

"However, we were not overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum. We always insisted on playing our best performance. Although we didn't find that feeling at the beginning, we still played the advantage of our big lineup and kept on Go to the basket to create damage and bite the score. We have always maintained a high fighting spirit, which is one of the keys to our ability to reverse and win in the following games."

"Of course, to win this competition, my teammates have made great contributions. Especially An Luo, I think everyone is familiar with him. As early as two years ago, he brought us a The championship trophy of the Asian Cup. His explosive attack is the most important reason for us to win the game. Without An Luo's stable output, our current situation will be very difficult."

When the reporter asked whether the Tianchao men's basketball team could advance to the quarter-finals, Yi Jianlian was keenly aware of something.He immediately returned to a state of extreme caution, "It's still too early to talk about qualifying. After all, the entire Group I has just played a game. Everyone is a top [-] team, and anything can happen."

But An Luoke doesn't have so many scruples!He said bluntly: "However, we have played against the Polish men's basketball team. I don't think they will be the opponents of the Argentine men's basketball team. Of course, they will not sit still. They will definitely perform better, because once they lose If you lose the game, you can only play in the 9-16 qualifying match. But I am still more optimistic about the Argentine men's basketball team. Their team is better and their combat effectiveness is stronger. I think they will eventually beat the Polish men's basketball team! The Argentine men's basketball team definitely doesn't want to stop at the top [-]. It is definitely more reliable to beat the Polish men's basketball team than us. Once they don't go all out, they will bid farewell to the knockout round! Of course, even if the Argentine men's basketball team loses this game It doesn't matter the game, we will definitely be able to return to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, this is what I want to help my team do, and it is what all of us want to do."

If players from other countries make such remarks, everyone's perception of this player may not be very good.After all, in the Chinese culture, a humble character is more welcome.But An Luo is his own player, and a young player at that.Everyone even felt that the young players of Tianchao should look like this.

Of course, apart from the fact that most fans of Tianchao are very friendly to An Luo, other fans have mixed comments on An Luo.People who like him feel that he is very sincere and can say what he has.More importantly, they felt that An Luo had that ability.After all, An Luo has been holding various honors since his high school career.High school national championship, NCAA national championship, NBA championship, MOP, FMVP... An Luo has never disappointed.Even though people's expectations of him are not so high in many cases, he still did those things.

People who don't like An Luo have a lot to say.Personal ability, team leadership ability, overall strength of the team, etc.After An Luo showed a clear negative view of the Polish men's basketball team, and even felt that the Argentine men's basketball team was not his opponent, a label of arrogance was hit on him.With the unfriendly label, more people will spray him later!

However, An Luo didn't care about these.During the four years in the United States, he encountered too many such things!Many times, it is easy to lose yourself if you care too much about other people's opinions.Besides, are those who say they are really stronger than themselves?

A few hours later, a news report set basketball fans across the country on fire.

"The Argentine men's basketball team narrowly beat the Polish men's basketball team, and joined hands with the Tianchao men's basketball team to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup."

At this time, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, An Luo and others were so happy that they forgot their surnames!

"We are the top eight!"

"We're back!"

……

The quarterfinals of the World Cup mean a lot to Chinese basketball!But such a goal is really not easy for the current Chinese men's basketball team.

In contrast, An Luo felt less emotional.As a player who has played abroad all the year round, representing the national team is not an easy task.Therefore, he has the same expectation for every game in the national team.Regardless of whether this game has a deeper meaning, he is doing his best to help the team win.For An Luo, every game he wins in the national team is the glory of his career.

This is the difference between new players and old players!Those old national players are used to wearing the national team's jersey to play games.Some of them have experienced the peak of the Chinese men's basketball team, and more of them have been in the trough.Now, they care about much more.

Li Nan can finally have a good night's sleep!

Today is the happiest day for him since the beginning of the World Cup.The team led by him reversed and defeated the Russian men's basketball team, and then advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup ahead of schedule with the "help" of the Argentine men's basketball team.

What could be a better result for Li Nan and his team?Even if they stop at the top eight, this trip to the World Cup has already been a great success!God knows, how many years the Tianchao men's basketball team has been looking forward to this moment!
