Chapter 755 Still Expecting
The Spanish men's basketball team won all five games in this World Cup. They did not receive any decent resistance in the first round of the group stage.Easily defeated the Tunisian men's basketball team, the Puerto Rico men's basketball team and the Iranian men's basketball team, and advanced to the top 16.In the subsequent second round of the group stage, the Spanish men's basketball team strongly defeated the Italian men's basketball team and the Serbian men's basketball team, showing their strong strength and advancing to the top 8.

Judging from this situation, the Spanish men's basketball team will certainly not stop their progress!
However, not everyone has no confidence in the Tianchao men's basketball team.The performance of the Spanish men's basketball team in the two rounds of this World Cup is indeed very good, but the Chinese men's basketball team is also excellent.They just lost to the Argentine men's basketball team, and that game was the result of the "tacit" choice of the two sides to let the main players rest.In a real game, the Tianchao men's basketball team has a chance to win and qualify.After all, the previous match with the Russian men's basketball team has shown everyone their combat effectiveness.

As far as this Spanish men's basketball team is concerned, they have a height advantage over most teams.Of course, this is not obvious to the Tianchao men's basketball team.But their style of play is completely different from that of the Tianchao men's basketball team with a similar configuration. Their offense is not a stance-style output, but uses Gasol as the axis, using his support in the high position to empty the opponent's inside defense.Under the pivotal role of Gasol, the other Spanish players either pick-and-roll or cut in the air.

The strength of the offensive end is only one aspect, and the defense of the Spanish men's basketball team is also very good.So far, the Spanish men's basketball team has not lost more than 80 points in a single game in this Basketball World Cup.The solid defense has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Spanish men's basketball team.

Facing such an opponent is a great challenge for the Tianchao men's basketball team, but it is also an opportunity.Among the opponents encountered by the Chinese men's basketball team, the Argentine men's basketball team is the most similar to the Spanish men's basketball team.Although one of these two teams is from America and the other is from Europe, they are indeed in the same line in basketball culture.Of the 24 players in the two teams, 15 of them played in the Spanish league last season, and 15 of these 5 were from Real Madrid.

It can be seen from the short-term match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team that for such a team with a strong European basketball style, the Chinese men's basketball team has greater confidence in wrestling with their opponents.For the Tianchao men's basketball team, the naked talent crushing of the American men's basketball team is the most troublesome.The Polish men's basketball team and the Russian men's basketball team are also typical European teams. Even though they are not as strong as the Spanish men's basketball team, the process of defeating them can still give Li Nan and his team some inspiration on how to deal with European teams.

Looking at the player configuration of the two teams, it can be said that each has its own advantages.

The inside combination of Yi Jianlian + Zhou Qi + Wang Zhelin of the Tianchao men's basketball team is enough to ensure that they will not lose the wind in the regular matchup.Even if Gasol is pulled to a high position, Zhou Qi can keep up.After all, he has been in Houston for a while, has been "exercised" by D'Antoni, and is more used to playing away from the basket.As for the basket, there is no problem with Yi Jianlian guarding it. His experience and ability are a great guarantee for the inside defense of the Tianchao men's basketball team.

In contrast, the striker combination of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team is indeed weaker.The combination of Juan Hernangomez + Clive + Oriola + Beran is enough to become the most difficult problem for the Chinese men's basketball team. Zhai Xiaochuan's ability is very good, but he wants to rely on him to resist the opponent's powerful team. The striker lineup is still very difficult.If Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Peng remain healthy, the predicament of the Tianchao men's basketball team's front line will be alleviated to some extent.

The back line is the strongest part of the current Chinese men's basketball team.Guo Ailun, who is not at the top, is worthy of his status as "Asia's No. [-] point guard".His breakthrough and passing can provide a lot of help to the team.However, the strength of the Tianchao men's basketball team is not reflected in the eldest nephew. After all, compared with the starting point guard Rubio of the Spanish men's basketball team, his strength is still a lot worse.

The existence of An Luo has made the backcourt of the Tianchao men's basketball team stronger.It can be said that in this World Cup, An Luo is definitely one of the top players in terms of personal ability and fame.Compared with the Spanish men's basketball team, none of their active players was selected as an All-Star player last season, and An Luo is not only an All-Star, but also the Finals MVP.What's more interesting is that in the just-concluded NBA Finals, Gasol's Raptors were defeated by An Luo's Thunder.Both of them are the starters of their respective teams. Although they are not in the same position, An Luo's performance and team contribution are unmatched by Gasol Jr.

In the previous group matches, An Luo's performance was not particularly outstanding.In five games, he averaged 16 minutes per game and was able to contribute 15.6 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 steals.Of course, such a performance can never be said to be bad.In fact, An Luo's performance still surpassed most defenders.But the opportunities An Luo got were too few!If it is converted into 30 minutes, then An Luo must be the strongest scorer in this World Cup.

Even under such circumstances, An Luo still played a decisive role in the matches against the Polish men's basketball team and the Russian men's basketball team.His scoring and defense are the main reasons why the Tianchao men's basketball team can beat these two European powerhouses.Especially in the game against the Russian men's basketball team, Li Nan's change made everyone truly feel the horror of the fighting power erupted by an all-out An Luo.He almost turned the game around on his own, and the defense of the Russian men's basketball team looked pale in front of An Luo.

The strong inside combination and the powerful An Luo are the main sources of confidence for the Tianchao men's basketball team.For those fans who have always believed that the Tianchao men's basketball team can make history, this is undoubtedly the greatest confidence in their hearts.There is no doubt that as long as Li Nan gives An Luo enough trust and allows An Luo to have the ball in his hands, the Chinese men's basketball team will have a chance to win in the match against this Spanish men's basketball team.For this, we all maintain a relatively optimistic attitude.After all, Li Nan has already tasted the sweetness of the tactical system with An Luo as the core of the offense.As a head coach, he naturally knows how to maximize his strongest point.

Generally speaking, most people are not optimistic about the Tianchao men's basketball team's impact on the World Cup semi-finals this time, but many people still maintain expectations.
