Chapter 1356 The first round of the group stage is over

"We expected the Chinese team to be strong, and this match would be difficult, but we didn't expect the opponent to be so strong." The head coach of the Polish team shook his head sadly, "If we can't find a way to limit Meng Yun and Xiang Long, we won't be able to beat them. The Chinese team, unless Meng Yun and Xiang Long have their own problems."

But is this possible?
It's unlikely, at least judging from the performance of Meng Yun and Xiang Long today, they are in good condition, even if there is a sudden cold hand, it is unlikely that they will appear at the same time.

The head coach of the Polish team looked up and looked at the scoreboard. The score had become 70:53, and the Chinese team led by as much as 17 points.

At this time, it was already the third quarter, and there was not much time left in the third quarter, which meant that there was not much time left for Poland, only a little more than one quarter.

This is not the nba, this is an international arena, because the game time of a single quarter and some rules are different, the scores of this type of international league are generally not very high, and it is also very difficult to catch up with more than ten points in a single quarter.

What's more, the Polish team has no advantage at all. They don't have obvious players like Meng Yun and Xiang Long who can lead the team to play a wave.

Until the fourth quarter, the Polish team was still more than ten points behind.

Meng Yun is still on the field, still scoring, and the Polish team is still double-teaming Meng Yun. The only thing they can do is to prevent Meng Yun from scoring easily, because Meng Yun has already scored 32 points, and let him continue to score. Go down and run for 40 minutes.

If Meng Yun scored 40 points, their Polish team would become a laughing stock.

In the end, Meng Yun failed to score 40 points, only scored 35 points, plus 5 rebounds and 7 assists, but even so, countless people have already exclaimed.

You must know that this is the Basketball World Cup, not the NBA. It is not uncommon to score 30+ or ​​40+ in a game in the NBA, but in the international arena, it is very remarkable to score 30+ in a game.

Meng Yun's 35 points today is already the personal single-game scoring record of this Basketball World Cup so far.

"The Polish team miscalculated the strength of the Chinese team. They thought they could fight the Chinese team, but the reality is not like that."

"In fact, it's not just the Polish team that misestimated the strength of the Chinese team. I think many people have miscalculated the strength of the Chinese team. I have seen a team strength ranking list before, and the Chinese team is only ranked fifth. In this way Your team is only ranked fifth, are you kidding me?"

"Fifth? With Meng Yun and Xiang Long, they are only ranked fifth. They should be in the top three."

"It is said that it is because of other players in the Chinese team."

The game is over, but the debate continues.

The Chinese team summed up again, and Director Gong began to struggle. He originally thought that Meng Yun, Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian would be the three cores, and other people would assist. But this game made him realize that there is a problem with this idea. That is, the strength gap between other players and Meng Yun and Xiang Long is too great.

It is normal to have a gap in strength between role players and core players, but if the gap is too large, it will be a problem.

"Would it limit Meng Yun and Xiang Long to fight according to the tactical system?" Director Gong was considering this question, "Perhaps, let Meng Yun and Xiang Long get rid of the shackles of tactics and give full play to their personal abilities. The effect will be even better.”

But soon Director Gong shook his head again, basketball is a sport of five people, no one can be independent from the team, no one can fight against five opponents alone.

For a while, the original question has not been answered, and it seems that more questions have popped up instead.

Director Gong pulled his hair and frowned, walked with his head down, and suddenly said "Ouch", feeling that he had hit a wall, looked up quickly, and saw Yao Ming asked with concern: "Director Gong, are you thinking about this?" what?"

"Oh, Dayao." Director Gong responded, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Dayao, you came just in time, I have a question."

After telling Yao Ming about his troubles, Director Gong asked, "Dayao, what do you think should be done?"

Yao Ming smiled slightly: "To be honest, I don't know what to do." Director Gong's expression darkened, but Yao Ming said again: "But I don't think we need to worry about this issue. In the final analysis, it is how to balance the individual and the group. For the problem, I think it is better to hand it over to Meng Yun directly, he will handle it very well."

Director Gong was taken aback, and woke up like a dream: "Haha, yes, why didn't I think of it. The field is changing rapidly, and most of the time it is still up to the players to adapt to the situation. How to balance the individual and the team also needs to be weighed by the players themselves. Make decisions based on the situation of the game. Judgment. Meng Yun has done a very good job in this regard, besides, he is the team's brain, leader and offensive organizer, so he should have been allowed to adapt to the situation."

Then Director Gong found Meng Yun and told him what he wanted, and Meng Yun naturally agreed, since this was what he had been doing anyway.

A day later, the Chinese team ushered in the last opponent in the first round of the group stage - Venezuela.

Venezuela's strength is between Poland and Côte d'Ivoire, and there is still a big gap compared with the Chinese team, so there is no suspense in the game, and the Chinese team finally won.

Since then, the Chinese team has achieved a record of 3 wins and 0 losses in the first round of the group stage, ranking first in Group A.

On the same day, Poland defeated Côte d'Ivoire 80:63, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, ranking second.

So far, all the matches in Group A are over. The Chinese team ranks first, Poland second, Venezuela third, and Côte d'Ivoire fourth. According to the rules of the group stage, the Chinese team and the Polish team have the right to qualify for the group stage.

One day later, the entire first round of the Basketball World Cup group stage was over.

There are a total of 8 groups, and the top two in each group have the right to qualify. The top 16 has all been born, and the next round is the second round of the group stage. According to the rules of the Basketball World Cup, the teams in the two adjacent groups that have the right to qualify will be eliminated. Divide into a group for the second round of the group stage.

For example, the Chinese team was originally in Group A, and then they and Poland will be grouped with the two teams that qualified in Group B, Argentina and Russia, which is Group I.

The first place in Group B is Argentina. Their current record is 3 wins and 0 losses. Like the Chinese team, Russia ranks second with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

In the next second round of the group stage, the Chinese team will play against Argentina and Russia respectively, and will not play against Poland again. The top two in Group I will get the right to qualify, become the top eight, and enter the knockout stage.
