Chapter 722 Côte d'Ivoire Is Really Weak
The second game in Group A is the match between Côte d'Ivoire and the hosts.Undoubtedly, this is the most eye-catching game of the first match day of the World Cup.For the first show of the national team, the fans have been waiting for a long time.
Not only the fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, but even the players can't wait.The players arrived at the Wukesong Gymnasium two hours in advance, and under Li Nan's arrangement, they started some simple training.
An Luo is no stranger to this arena.In fact, every basketball fan of Datianchao is no stranger to it. 11 years ago, Wukesong witnessed the pinnacle of the men's basketball team.What's more, Wukesong has added a unique meaning to An Luo.This is not the first time he has played here. Four years ago, he defeated the High School Affiliated to Huada University in this place and led Shudu No. [-] Middle School to win the national championship of the National High School Men's Basketball League that year.It can be said that Wukesong witnessed the beginning of An Luo's career.
Coming to Wukesong again, An Luo was very excited.He tried to shoot a few three-pointers and hit them all. The feeling of throwing the basketball made An Luo very comfortable.He couldn't wait to make shots like this after the game started.
Among the other players, the younger guys like Guo Ailun and Zhou Qi responded similarly to An Luo. They were all very active, dunking and catching, and they quickly started playing.The slightly older players, like Yi Jianlian, shot in silence.They have experienced too many scenes like this, so they behaved very calmly.Of course, there is another point that these veterans have a heavier burden on their hearts.Especially Yi Jianlian, as the leader of this generation of country, the burden on his shoulders is too heavy.
Time passed quickly, and an hour later, spectators entered the arena in droves.Everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw players like An Luo.
"Come on, Alian! Long live the men's basketball team!"
"You must win!"
"An Luo! Cast them to death!"
……
After being shouted by these audiences, the players became even more excited!An Luo couldn't help showing off two dunks.Even though An Luo doesn't dunk very much in the game, that doesn't mean he can't dunk.In normal training, An Luo is a dunk master.A 360-degree windmill dunk directly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.Usually everyone thinks that An Luo always likes to shoot outside the three-point line, and never thinks how good his physical fitness is.At this time, everyone realized that An Luo's physical fitness is not bad compared with those guys in the NBA who are flying into the sky and escaping from the ground.If it is placed among local players, An Luo's talent is abnormal.
After returning to the locker room and changing into the red and white national team jersey, An Luo came to the stadium again.The appearance ceremony of the national team is different from that of the NBA. Players enter the arena according to their jersey numbers from small to large.When each name was read out by the on-site emcee, there would be a burst of fierce cheers in the arena.When An Luo and Yi Jianlian played, it was even more earth-shattering.
After all the players from both sides played, the pre-match ceremony entered the second item - raising the national flags of the two countries and playing and singing the national anthems of the two countries.When the entire arena sang the national anthem in unison, An Luo deeply felt what the real home court was.Such an atmosphere cannot be felt in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
In the final preparation stage, Li Nan began to explain to all the players some things that need attention in this game.The characteristics of Côte d'Ivoire are very obvious. They don't have much conduction and coordination on the offensive end. The offensive methods are relatively simple. They are more about looking for one-on-one opportunities, or using the pick-and-roll in the middle to throw off the defender. Go make a time difference.Their defense is very aggressive, and they like to use this defense to force opponents to make mistakes, and then play counterattack fast breaks.
"You must stay focused during the game, defend hard, and attack the basket more..."
An Luo listened to Li Nan's words, feeling a little lost.He thought that with his fame and ability, he could enjoy more possession of the ball no matter what, but Li Nan didn't give him special treatment, and the offensive end still focused on the inside.But it doesn't matter, opportunities are always created by themselves.
"Di..."
The referee entered the field, and the starting players of both sides also gathered in the center circle, ready to fight for the ball.
Although the opponents were not strong, Li Nan unreservedly dispatched the strongest starting lineup: Guo Ailun, An Luo, Zhai Xiaochuan, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi.The combination of Yi Jianlian + Zhou Qi on the inside can be both inside and outside, both offensive and defensive; the combination of Guo Ailun + An Luo in the backcourt can pass, shoot and shoot, and has super offensive power. With An Luo, the defense has also improved a lot .
In short, the height, speed, and space required by modern basketball are available.
Relying on the advantage of height and wingspan, Zhou Qi easily allocated the ball to Yi Jianlian.The latter caught the ball and looked for Guo Ailun, but found that An Luo had rushed beyond the left three-point line.Without hesitation, he swung his right hand and threw the ball over.Alian, who is getting older, is getting more and more experienced in passing the ball.At any time, it is easier to win the ball to the teammate with the best opportunity.
An Luo didn't expect someone to pass the ball to him at this time.The moment Zhou Qi jumped up, he knew that the offensive right this time belonged to his side, and then he habitually started to move.But now that the ball is in his hands, he will not be polite.Withdraw his right foot that has stepped into the three-point line, then raise his hand and sway, avoid the Ivorian player who is flying towards him, use his legs to pull up and throw the ball to the basket.
The whole set of movements is very smooth, and the posture is as standard as a textbook.The result, too, is wonderful.
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net.An Luo scored his first goal in the World Cup, helping his team take the lead in scoring 3 points.
An Luo kissed his right hand. He felt that this hand was too strong today.Then he quickly ran to the center line, caught up with Yi Jianlian who was on his way back to defense, and gave him a high five.
"You pass the ball so well! Alian..."
"You cast well!"
……
Looking back, Côte d'Ivoire is just like Li Nan's analysis. The defenders use the screen to rush in, and then pass the ball back to the big player who is running down to end the offense.However, the restricted area guarded by Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi made the Ivorians suffer.When Guo Ailun was blocked, Yi Jianlian took advantage of the situation to pinch Diabate who was holding the ball with him.Dion Thompson immediately slid down to the rim, which was a good open shot.But at the moment of the final layup, Zhou Qi slapped him and flew him out.
Seeing this scene, An Luo couldn't help shaking his head, this Côte d'Ivoire is really weak!
