727. The wandering heart of the Slovenians

At the end of the first half of the game, after all, there were still some waves, because although the opponent tried his best to catch up, but Wu Dawei's state tonight was obviously very good, so it was undoubtedly a very painful thing for the Slovenian men's basketball team to catch up with the score gap.

Because Wu Dawei always helped the Chinese men's basketball team maintain its advantage in the first half of the game, his strong play and his contribution to the restriction of Slovenian core Dragic on the defensive end played a crucial role in this game tonight.

Such a role is an important reason why the Chinese men's basketball team was able to become the leader at the end of the first half of the game; For the Chinese men's basketball team, this is of course a good thing.

Although there will definitely be annoying voices after the game, the Chinese men's basketball team relies too much on Wu Dawei's presence in the game, just like people criticized the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first place.

But apparently at this time, for the Chinese men's basketball team, such criticism seems to be able to become only an irrelevant voice in the end.

It's like no matter how much people criticize the Cleveland Cavaliers at the beginning, in the end, it is still this team that wins the championship, and they directly achieve their three-game winning streak.

So at this time, such a voice is obviously insignificant, at least when approaching the locker room, as the players and coaches of the Chinese men's basketball team, they are very happy at this time.

After all, they got what they wanted, and at the end of the first half, they were 44-39, leading the mighty Slovenian men's basketball team by as many as five points.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, although such a lead is not enough to guarantee that they will win such a game; However, at least at this time, they were in a very happy mood and extremely optimistic about the prospects of the second half.

So they didn't feel too worried. At least at this point they are in a good mood; And the mood of the Slovenians who walked into the locker room passage with them felt a little at the bottom at this time.

Obviously, being the underdog in the first half of the game was an absolute surprise for the ambitious Slovenians who had been in the game before this game began.

But in the game, for the Slovenian men's basketball team, the process is absolutely extremely painful, because they are not able to play the game they envisioned before the game.

They look more like a bunch of underdogs who are terrified. I was worried about this and that all the time during the game.

This seems to have ruined them, and for the Slovenian men's basketball team, at least in the first half of the game, they fell into a great passivity because of such a worried mood.

Although the current 5 points behind is not enough to make them feel hopeless, the performance of the team's core Dragic under the defense of Wu Dawei makes them feel extremely worried.

In the first half of the game, Dragic scored 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting, which seemed to be a messy performance.

However. These were all scored by Dragic in Wu's absence, and once Wu was back on the basketball court and standing in front of him, Dragic was on the offensive end when he met Wu's defense. Basically, I didn't score a single time.

That's the most important thing, and for Dragic, it's definitely something that he feels unbearable.

After all, for Dragic, he feels that he is not as good as Wu Dawei. But in front of Wu Dawei, he will not be given any chance to prevent death directly.

However, when the game really begins. When Dragic did face Wu Dawei's defense, what he was thinking about and what was happening in reality were two completely different concepts.

So at this time, for Dragic, this is a very uncomfortable thing for him, he never thought that he would behave so badly under Wu Dawei's defense.

But if he can face Wu Dawei's defense with a tougher attitude, then the Slovenian men's basketball team will not fall into the embarrassing situation of being led by the Chinese men's basketball team at half a court at this time.

And now it's not just a matter of being led by their opponents for half a game, they will face the second half of the game in 15 minutes.

With such a poor first half, it is no surprise that the Slovenians will not be as optimistic about the second half as they were before the start of the game.

After all, they are already half a game behind, so it is natural that the opponent is not so easy to deal with, and if they want to complete the comeback in the second half of the game, then they must make more efforts.

Otherwise, what awaits them is the result of the Chinese men's basketball team defeating them.

This is certainly not the result that the Slovenians wanted, and after having already lost their first game in the group stage, they are bound to win this second game.

Naturally, after they returned to the dressing room at this time, the most important thing they needed to do was to plan the second half of the game.

However, for the Slovenian coaching staff, no matter how they plan in the second half of the game, the Slovenians will still face a very bad situation, and that is the strategy for Wu Dawei.

When the coaching staff takes this into account, it can be said that they are quite embarrassed that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, after all, for them, there is indeed no player as strong as Wu Dawei in the team.

In their opinion, if the team had Wu Dawei, it would definitely not be so embarrassed now; And don't talk about this game, even the last game is definitely not lost.

It's a pity that these are non-existent things, for the Slovenians, their most important thing now is naturally how to catch up with the disadvantage of the score in the next game.

This was the most discussed issue among the Slovenians at half-time, after all, they wanted to be so disadvantaged in this game. If the score gap is caught up, then the Slovenian men's basketball team will have to work harder.

After all, the disadvantage they are in now makes them no longer have the spirit they had before the start of the game, but it will make them face the opponents they are facing at this time, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team.

For the Slovenian men's basketball team, they know very well that it is very difficult to defeat the Chinese men's basketball team, after all, they have become a backward and disadvantaged side.

To win the game, you can only be more careful with the Slovenians at this point, and after half the game. Slovenians know very well how difficult it is to turn the tables around.

But no matter what, they can't just give up, after all, the Slovenian men's basketball team is in a very bad situation in the group right now.

So at this time, the training of the coaching staff in the locker room looks quite a bit of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biased towards the tigers.

Such a decisive smell in it added a momentum to the Slovenians, and they would obviously give everything for the second half of the game.

However, at this time. In fact, for the Chinese men's basketball team, they don't particularly care about these, because they are now the leading side, although they are only 5 points ahead. But they were the leaders throughout the first half.

Naturally, it's easy to take it for granted that you're always ahead of the curve, which is why people always like to say things like don't be too proud and be proud of your defeat after some achievements.

But at this point. This is an undeniable point. And for the Chinese men's basketball team, their self-confidence certainly does not only come from this, in addition to the current lead. In addition, as the core of the team, Wu Dawei's performance in the first half of the game cannot be described as crazy.

In the half, Wu Dawei got 12 points, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals, and it can be said that Wu Dawei dominated the game whether it was on the offensive end or the defensive end.

It is precisely this kind of performance that makes the Slovenians feel even more palpitating, they hate Wu Dawei's excellent performance, but for the Slovenians, they are powerless about it.

It seems that they can only watch Wu Dawei lead the Chinese men's basketball team off the court at the end of the first half of the game.

Of course, for the Slovenians, the most annoying thing is that there is no one in the team who can compete with Wu Dawei, which is an important reason why they are very passive.

However, for the Chinese men's basketball team, they have no such worries, and they have more expectations before the game for the second half of the game.

Before the start of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team did think about taking advantage of the momentum of winning the first game and continuing to win the second game.

However, at that time, everyone knew that the opponent faced by the Chinese men's basketball team was the Slovenian men's basketball team, an extremely outstanding world-class team.

So in fact, before the start of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team was also mentally prepared to meet defeat; But now, after they completely suppressed their opponents in the first half, they naturally have more confidence for the Chinese men's basketball team.

In the same way, it will naturally give them more confidence in the second half of the game, after all, the situation they are facing now is very good.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, the entire first half of the game suppressed the Slovenian men's basketball team, which they did not expect before the game.

But at this point, now that they've done that, they certainly want to go one step further in the next races!

They want to gain more of an edge until they can really win this game.

This is obviously no longer a dream, with the core of the team performing so well in the first half, the Chinese have obviously seen the hope of winning two consecutive wins in the group stage.

They believe that they can win such a game, so at halftime, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Chinese men's basketball team must be far better than that of the Slovenian men's basketball team.

After all, they are now the side that has the advantage of the initiative, and in the face of the chasers behind them, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team naturally have reason to maintain enough self-confidence.

But if the Chinese men's basketball team can win two consecutive games in the first two games of the group stage, then the situation they face will become extremely good.

Even better than ever, the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Championships is the quarterfinals, and in this World Cup, their goal will obviously be more than that.

Therefore, if you can achieve a relatively good result in the group stage, it will definitely be of great help to the Chinese men's basketball team in the next knockout stage in the future.

So even for this reason, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team will not be complacent because of the advantage of the first half of the game.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, at this moment, their only thought is naturally to continue to consolidate the lead they built up in the first half of the game.

As long as they can continue to consolidate such an advantage in the second half of the game, then for the Chinese men's basketball team, their hope of winning the game will greatly overwhelm the Slovenians.

Therefore, when they are in the locker room, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team will be so scrappy, and in the basketball hall, the Chinese fans who occupy most of the basketball hall tonight are also in a very good mood at this time.

The team's half-time lead against a strong opponent, the hope of victory skyrocketed, coupled with the core player Wu Dawei completely suppressed the opponent's core player Dragic, which made the Chinese completely suppress the Slovenian fans at this time.

For Slovenian fans at this moment, the only thing they can expect is that the second half of the game has not yet started.

Although they still have such an expectation, at this time, there is no doubt that because of Wu Dawei's strong performance with the Chinese men's basketball team in the first half, there has always been such a voice in the hearts of the Slovenians, that is, it is difficult for them to make the situation of the game improve in the second half of the game.

As we all know, Wu Dawei is in good form now, and there is no player in the Slovenian team who can compete with him, naturally, how can they play an amazing performance in the second half of the game when they were inferior in the first half?! (To be continued......)
