Vol 3 Chapter 551: Côte d'Ivoire is indeed weak


The second match of Group A was a duel between Côte d'Ivoire and the host. There is no doubt that this is the most eye-catching game on the first match day of the World Cup. For the national team's debut, 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 Stadium two hours in advance and started some simple training under Li Nan's arrangement.
An Luo is no stranger to this stadium. In fact, every basketball fan of the great dynasty is no stranger. Eleven years ago, Wukesong witnessed the peak of men's basketball. In addition, Wukesong has another unique meaning for Anluo. It is not the first time he played here. Four years ago, he defeated Huada High School and took the Shudu No. 9 High School to win the national championship of the National High School Men's Basketball League. It can be said that Wukesong witnessed the beginning of Anluo's career.
Came to Wukesong again, An Luo was very excited. He tried to shoot a few three-pointers, all of them hit, and the feeling of shooting the basketball made An Luo very comfortable. He can't wait to make a goal like this after the start of the game.
Among the other players, younger guys like Guo Ailun and Zhou Qi reacted similarly to An Luo, all of them were very positive, dunking and emptying, and soon started playing. Older players, like Yi Jianlian, silently shot the basket. They have experienced too many scenes like this, and they acted calmly. Of course, one more thing is that the burden on these veterans' hearts is heavier. Especially Yi Jianlian, as the man who carried the tripod in the hands of this generation, the burden on his shoulders is too heavy.
Time passed quickly, and after an hour, the audience entered the arena in droves. Everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw An Luo these players.
"Come on, Alian! Long live the men's basketball team!"
"You must win!"
"An Luo! Throw them to death!"
...
When shouted by these audiences, the players are even more excited! An Luo couldn't help but show two dunks. Don't look at An Luo not dunking a lot in the game, but that doesn't mean he will not dunk. In the usual training, Anluoke is a dunk master. A three hundred and sixty degree windmill dunk directly ignited the audience's enthusiasm. People usually think that An Luo always likes to shoot from beyond the three-point line, and never think how good his physical fitness is. At this time, everyone understood that An Luo's physical fitness was not bad compared to those flying guys in the NBA. If it is placed in the local players, An Luo's talent is abnormal level.
After returning to the dressing room to change into the red and white national team jersey, An Luo came to the stadium again. The national team's appearance ceremony is different from that of the NBA. They enter the stadium from small to large according to their jersey numbers. Every time the name was pronounced by the emcee on site, there was a burst of fierce cheers in the arena. When An Luo and Yi Jianlian played, it was even more earth-shattering.
After all players from both sides played, the pre-match ceremony entered the second item-raising the national flags of the two countries and singing the national anthems of the two countries. When the entire arena sang the national anthem in unison, An Luo deeply felt what was the real home court. This kind of 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 too much transmission and cooperation 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 center to throw off the defender. Go for a time difference. Their defense is very aggressive, and they like to use this defense to force their opponents to make mistakes, and then counterattack fast breaks.
"You must stay focused during the game, be tough on defense, and play more offensively to the basket..."
An Luo listened to Li Nan's words, feeling a little disappointed. He thought that with his fame and ability, he could enjoy more ball rights, but Li Nan did not give him special treatment. The offensive end is still mainly inside. But it doesn't matter, opportunities have always been created by myself.
"Beep..."
The referee entered the field, and the starting players of both sides also gathered in the center circle, ready to face off.
Although the opponent is not strong, but Li Nan still unreservedly sent the strongest starting lineup: Guo Ailun, An Luo, Zhai Xiaochuan, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi. The combination of inside Yi Jianlian + Zhou Qi can be both inside and outside, both offensive and defensive; the combination of Guo Ailun + An Luo in the backcourt can pass and shoot suddenly and has super attack power. With An Luo, the defense has also improved a lot. .
In short, the height, speed, and space required by modern basketball are available.
Côte d’Ivoire’s main pick-and-roll on the flank, with a touch of the perimeter, betting on long-range shooting percentages; using the Chinese men’s basketball team to double-click Diabate to create an open scoring opportunity, Dion Thompson took out the drop-down basket; crazy push and defense conversion, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com rushed for three-pointers-Côte d'Ivoire was at a natural disadvantage in the interior, and the positional battle was weak. Only the flanking pick-and-rolls made a sudden scoring and gambling to break the defense.
Taking advantage of his height and wingspan, Zhou Qi easily assigned 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 swiped his right hand and threw the ball over. Alian, who is getting older and older, is more and more knowledgeable about passing the ball. At any time, it is easier to win the ball to the teammate with the best chance.
An Luo didn't expect someone to pass the ball to himself at this time. The moment Zhou Qi jumped up, he knew that this time the offensive power was his own, and then habitually started to move. But now that the ball is in his own hands, he will not be polite. He retracted his right foot that had stepped into the three-point line, then raised his hand and shook his hand, dodge the oncoming Ivorian player, exerted force on his legs, pulled up and shot the ball to the basket.
The whole set of movements is very smooth, and the posture is standard like a textbook. The result is also wonderful.
"Huh!"
Basketball hollowed into the net. Anluo scored his first goal in the World Cup and helped his team score 3 points first.
An Luo kissed his right hand. He felt that this hand was too strong today. Then quickly ran to the center line, caught up with Yi Jianlian on the way back to defense, and slapped the opponent.
"Your pass is great! Alian..."
"You voted well!"
...
Looking back, Côte d'Ivoire, as Li Nan analyzed, the defender threw in through the screen, and then passed the ball back to the big man who went down to end the attack.
