Chapter 763 The Battle Begins
The first three minutes of the fourth quarter may be the most uncomfortable time for Li Nan in this game.The only thing that can be compared with it is the period when they were constantly opened up by the opponent in the previous match with the Russian men's basketball team.
The difference is that at the time of the match against the Russian men's basketball team, Li Nan and his team were not in a desperate situation.Even if you lose the game, you still have a chance to make up for it in the next game.The current situation is more serious, and there is no way to remedy it.After all, it is a knockout match, and if you lose, you will bid farewell to this World Cup.For all the top eight teams, absolutely no team wants to fall early.The Serbian men's basketball team must be extremely regretful now. If they pay more attention to the Argentine men's basketball team and try their best to compete, the current situation will definitely be different.
As the host team, the Tianchao men's basketball team is not dominant in strength, and finally reached the quarterfinals. Speaking of which, they should really be satisfied.But players like Li Nan, An Luo, and Yi Jianlian all have greater ambitions.After all, in the entire career, such opportunities are really too few.If you don't catch up with a good era, it is very likely that you will waste your life.Now the opportunity to create history is in front of you, and no one wants to be the object of regret when people mention the past achievements of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.
Zhou Qi and Abdul Saramu performed relatively well in these few minutes.The former fell to the low post when Yi Jianlian was resting, and then used his height and wingspan to score frequently at the basket.In fact, Zhou Qi's performance in this World Cup has not been very good.Although it can be inside and outside, and can attack and defend, it will lose the chain at a critical moment.This is the most troublesome thing for Li Nan.Fortunately, in this Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi did not play the core role of offense and defense.But during this period of time, Li Nan was very pleased.He didn't put Zhou Qi in a more outside position like before, he just wanted to give full play to Zhou Qi's innate advantages. Looking at it now, apart from being a bit close to confrontation, Zhou Qi's performance is indeed good.
Abdul Saramu is actually not a player that Li Nan is particularly optimistic about.In the previous games, Abdul Saramu did not get much playing time, and even did not get the chance to play in some games.
In fact, Abdul Saramu's ability is quite good.Before, he was invited by the Golden State Warriors to represent him in the summer league. Although he failed to stay in the Warriors, this experience greatly improved Abdul Saramu's ability.His playing style is also more in line with the mainstream trend of modern basketball, with tenacious defense and outstanding shooting.
It stands to reason that such players should be reused by the team's head coach, especially in the current Chinese men's basketball team, the strength of the striker is already weak, and there should be room for Abdul Saramu.It's a pity that Li Nan's tactical thinking has always been relatively traditional, and he is more inclined to the inside line.He believes more in Zhai Xiaochuan, who has more experience, better mid-range and low-post offense.It wasn't until Li Nan changed his tactics and started a fast-paced offense with An Luo at the core, that Abdul Saramu finally got some opportunities.
In this game, Abdul Saramu played for a long time.Zhai Xiaochuan's condition was not good. An Luo passed him several times but failed to make a shot. In the end, he didn't dare to make another shot himself.At this time, Li Nan finally activated Abdul Saramu.The latter also won Li Nan's trust with his performance.When the core players of the team are double-teamed by the opponent, the performance of the role players is crucial.Although Abdul Saramu did not have a phenomenal performance, with his excellent shooting ability, it is enough to be able to score the ball when An Luo is double-teamed.
Therefore, when An Luo was rested on the bench by Li Nan, Abdul Saramu became the strongest offensive point on the outside of the Tianchao men's basketball team.Of course, the ball is still in Guo Ailun's hands, but he prefers to rush to the penalty area to cause damage.What's more, Guo Ailun's shooting touch tonight is not very good.Abdul Saramu provided a lot of help on the outside.
After Rubio hit Zhou Qi with a high throw and hit the board, the Spanish men's basketball team opened the point difference to 7 points.It doesn't seem like much, but only 3 minutes and 38 seconds have passed in this quarter.In this period of competition, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Spanish men's basketball team has reached double digits.This is the result that was controlled when Zhou Qi and Abdu scored desperately. It can be seen that Yi Jianlian and An Luo are important to this Chinese men's basketball team.
"A Lian, An Luo, you two go! Let go and score."
Under Li Nan's urging, Yi Jianlian and An Luo went into battle again.At that moment, all the Tianchao fans cheered.In the previous 3 minutes or so, many people were dissatisfied with Li Nan's formation. They believed that Yi Jianlian and An Luo could not lag behind the Spanish men's basketball team on the court.It is a pity that few people have considered the physical strength of the players.Throughout the history of the Tianchao men's basketball team who lost games against the world's top teams, most of them were caused by lack of physical strength at the last moment and the inability to resist on both offensive and defensive ends.Li Nan has personally experienced such a thing, so he gritted his teeth and insisted that his two most trusted players get relatively enough rest.
The appearance of Yi Jianlian and An Luo means that the Chinese men's basketball team is about to launch the final decisive battle.The head coach of the Spanish men's basketball team also got up and came to the side of the court, gesturing to his players.It seemed that he had prepared well in advance for the final battle.
When Guo Ailun crossed the center line with the ball, An Luo reached out for the ball.He stood far away from the three-point line. The Spanish men's basketball team did not double-team, and even Fernandez did not post it.This is also what An Luo deliberately did. He needs a relatively relaxed environment, whether it is shooting or breaking through.
After dribbling the ball several times in a row, An Luo suddenly started.He rushed in to the right, and the left half of his body leaned against Fernandez who was sticking up, and then slammed hard.An Luo's strength is not weak, and under the influence of this powerful force, Fernandez took a step back.An Luo took a step to the right, and then exerted force on his legs, pulling himself up in an instant.
Fernandez and Juan Hernangomez rushed towards An Luo, but they were still slow.
