On September 1st, the Chinese team did not compete, but only held a small meeting to summarize and prepare for the next game.

By the way, Chairman Dayao was also in the news.

During the warm-up training, Dayao came to the scene and saw the basketball and couldn't help but take off his jacket and go on the court to shoot a few balls.

Even though Dayao is now a big female omen, she has not lost her soft touch and still maintains a high hit rate.

To use the sarcastic words of the Palace Director, Dayao may be able to continue fighting if he loses more weight.

Like the first day, the competition on the second day was also fierce, but the gap between the teams was also obvious.

Unlike the European teams that won all five games on the first day, today's European teams finally started to lose.

New Zealand lost to Brazil.

Although 'Old Lightning' Barbosa's NBA career is almost over, he still maintains a good competitive state, scoring 22 points to lead Brazil to a victory over New Zealand.

In the European Civil War, the French team defeated Germany 78-74.

Fournier, Gobert, Batum...

Although they had a dream start of 14-0, the French team, which had a lot of NBA players, did not win this battle easily, and was almost pushed all the way by the highly integrated German tanks.

By the way, the American team also got off to a good start.

The U.S. team, with its many star players, almost outplayed its opponents on the field.

On the Greek men's basketball team, Giannis Antetokounmpo also defeated the Montenegro team with "Martial God" Vucevic.

However, the performance of this Greek beast in this campaign was unremarkable.

International men's basketball games without three-second defense are obviously not very friendly to Antetokounmpo, who only knows how to break through without a basket.

On this day, there was also a bloodbath.

Even the first day was even more brutal!

Lithuania beat Senegal by 54 points 101-47!

Lithuania's two NBA players Valanciunas and Sabonis took turns bombing in the paint, directly piercing Senegal and helping the team build an early lead.

The game also lost suspense early!

By the way, Japan, which had a good life in childhood, also lost on this day.

Facing the Turkish men's basketball team's exquisite counterattack, the Japanese team was defeated in the first quarter and fell behind by 16 points!

In the words of Chinese fans, Japan, Bangzi, and Iran will not work!

In Asia, the Chinese team is the only one in line!

…

Before the game, the much-watched coach Gong was interviewed by reporters.

This battle is a battle for first place against the Chinese team and Poland, which have already won at the same time.

Whoever wins is guaranteed to qualify!

Therefore, fans pay a lot of attention to this game!

The Palace Director said,

"Today's opponents are different from the opponents the day before yesterday, they have completely different playing styles.

Côte d'Ivoire's style of play is more individual, while Poland's style of play is holistic and very mature. The players have a tacit understanding with each other and have played together for a long time.

Their coach has been leading this team for five years. He has trained the team's offense very smoothly, and the team's confident points are also quite prominent.

In terms of strength, they are also a very traditional strong team in Europe.

We have studied multiple plans to prepare for the game, held meetings to summarize and prepare for emergencies, and are ready for this game."

Mike Taylor, the coach of the Polish team, accepted the media interview with the confident attitude of a "China expert".

"I have studied the Chinese team very early and know the technical characteristics of each player well."

"I respect the Chinese team very much, their preparations are very effective.

We all know that playing the first game of a major competition is not easy. As the host, the Chinese team has endured more expectations and pressure.

Teams that can participate in the World Cup have certain strengths, and everyone will give their best when they stand on this stage.

Therefore, it is not easy for the Chinese team to perform stably and win under such heavy pressure."

“Guo Ailun’s explosiveness and Zhou Qi’s pick-and-roll are impressive;

The two inside players Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin are also quite lethal;

Ding Yanyuhang is also very versatile.

Then, my favorite player, like many fans, is No. 1 Zhou. He can play five positions on the court and can do everything.

But we are not afraid of them. I have known the Chinese team members and playing style through video and live watching for a long time.

As long as we perform well, we also hope to win the initiative to qualify.

Then, Taylor said confidently,

"The Chinese team is at home, and more than 10,000 home fans will create pressure on us, so my players must control their emotions and the rhythm of the game."

"I led this team to lose to the host France by 3 points in the 2015 European Championship, and also defeated the host Finland in overtime in the 2017 European Championship, so I am not afraid.

Play against the host team.”

"My team is very eager to win and is confident to play well in the next game against the host team!"

It has to be said that the Polish coach's answer was neither humble nor overbearing. It not only gained a wave of favorability among Chinese fans, but also gave Polish players a lot of confidence.

‘What’s wrong with China Youzhou? We played together for five years!

Basketball is a team sport!’

…

At seven o'clock that night, there was still a full hour before the close match, and the Wukesong Gymnasium in the Imperial Capital was once again overcrowded.

Many fans were not satisfied with the last game against Ivory Coast, and there are still some voices on the Internet that doubt the strength of the Chinese team. This game against Poland is another good opportunity for the Chinese team to prove themselves.

While shooting in the warm-up, Zhou Si found that his teammates were obviously affected by outside sounds.

Nowadays, social media is very developed and consultations are pervasive, and Zhou Si also knows that not everyone can completely ignore those voices like him.

In the NBA, Zhou Si is likely to let such a situation go, but in the national team, Zhou Si is still willing to make some efforts in order to improve the winning rate from 99% to 99.9%.

As a result, the Chinese fans at the scene discovered that the Chinese men's basketball players began to play a midfield long-range shooting game, and even Dayao was pulled onto the court by Zhou Si.

Zhou Si did not let go of the remaining inside players and asked them to compete in a quiz, with the losers doing push-ups.

The nervousness of the Chinese men's basketball players was relieved a lot when Zhou Si diverted their attention, and the scene was filled with laughter and laughter.

The Chinese team was relaxed, but the Polish team was even more nervous.

On the court, Zhou Si's figure shrouded them like a dark cloud!

Polish players always feel like they will be torn apart by Zhou Si at any time!

Poland coach Taylor could only give the players a final mobilization after returning to the locker room!

"Hey guys, they're relaxing, what does that mean?

They are nervous!

We made them scared!

They have the best basketball players in the world and they are ranked second, but that doesn't mean anything!

If we can make them feel scared, we can truly defeat them!

Believe me, believe yourselves!

We can do it!

For Poland!”

"For Poland—!"
Chapter completed!
