19: 30 group a China vs Poland
The focus of the third match day is undoubtedly host China against Poland, which will also be a key battle on the road for the Chinese men's basketball team to compete for the right to qualify in the group. The Chinese men's basketball team beat C ô te d'Ivoire 70-55 in the first game and won a good start. Yi Jianlian and Guo Allen had excellent performances, but the Chinese men's basketball team fell into a strange circle of slow and hot start. They only drew with their opponents in the first half of the game. The strength of the Polish men's basketball team is obviously stronger than that of C ô te d'Ivoire. If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to win in a row, it needs to play better.
Poland showed the strength of the European team on the first match day, beating Venezuela 80-69. Poland is the strongest opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the group match.

China and Poland are regarded as two strong teams in group A. the outcome of this game is likely to determine the final trend of the competition for the top of the group.
Because Poland rarely participated in the world cup or the Olympic Games in history, Poland and the Chinese men's basketball team have never met on the stage of the world competition. This world cup is the first time for both sides to meet on the stage of the world competition. But in the past, because the Chinese men's basketball team went to Europe for practice several times, the Chinese men's basketball team also gained the experience of playing against Poland.
The earlier meeting between the two sides was in 2007. That year, the Chinese men's basketball team went to Europe for training. As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team lost all five games, including losing to Poland. At that time, Yao Ming was absent from the practice because of his marriage and injury, but all the other main players of the men's basketball team participated in the game, but they failed to win in the European practice and lost all the European teams as they did in the European practice in 2006.
In the 2007 training in Euler, the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Polish men's basketball team in the six nation tournament in Turkey. At that time, the Polish team was still a real weak team, which did not rank in FIBA, while the Chinese men's basketball team ranked 11th. But in this game, the Chinese men's basketball team finally lost to Poland by 17 points 66-83. In this battle, Yi Jianlian scored the highest 28 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in the game, and Wang Zhizhi contributed 14 points. The scores of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi accounted for 64% of the team. The scores of other players were less than double digits. The performances of Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei and Sun Yue were not ideal. At the end of the third quarter, the men's basketball team once fell behind by as many as 19 points.
In the last quarter, Yunus, then the men's basketball coach, adopted the whole court pressing strategy, which once helped the men's basketball team receive the effect, reduced the difference to 9 points and forced the opponent to request suspension for three consecutive times. However, the Chinese men's basketball team failed to narrow the difference due to lack of physical strength in training in Euler, and finally lost to the opponent by 17 points. The aggressive defense of the opponent caused great trouble to the men's basketball team, and too many mistakes led to the men's basketball team losing the game. After losing to Poland, the media at that time used 'shame' to describe the performance of the men's basketball team.
After the meeting in 2007, the Chinese men's basketball team and Poland played again in the Polish war in the London Olympic warm-up match in 2012. At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team and Poland played twice, resulting in a win and a draw.
In the first game, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated Poland by 73-72 points, ending 16 consecutive defeats in overseas training. In the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team fell into passivity, falling behind by 9 points. But in the second half, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully filled the pit and drew in the last 27 seconds. After that, Liu Wei's two penalties and Zhou Peng stole the last attack of Poland and finally helped the Chinese men's basketball team win by one point. Throughout the game, Yi Jianlian contributed the highest 22 points and 10 rebounds of the whole team, and the scores of Chen Jianghua and Wang Zhizhi reached double digits. It is worth mentioning that gotat of Poland participated in the game and contributed 10 points. Therefore, although Poland was absent from the Olympic Games, the quality of the game is still very high.
In the second game between the two sides, the Chinese men's basketball team was defeated by its opponent 79-81. The competition between the two sides also won in the last quarter. In the last 0.7 seconds of the game, the Polish team served directly to complete the air relay and completed the quasi winner. The Chinese men's basketball team finally lost to the opponent by 2 points. However, Yi Jianlian missed the game. Wang zhizhihe scored the highest 15 points of the whole team, Zhu Fangyu contributed 14 points, and Zhou Peng and Guo Allen also scored double points. Young Wang Zhelin participated in the game at that time and scored 2 points. In this game, the overall performance of the men's basketball team was good. The two-point hit rate was as high as 54.1%, and the three-point hit rate was as high as 52.6%. The two hit rates were far higher than the opponents, and the mistakes were controlled only seven times. The only deficiency was that the free throw was not as good as the opponents.
Tonight, the Chinese men's basketball team and Poland will meet on the stage of the world cup. Although the ranking of Chinese men's basketball team surpassed that of Poland in the fiba32 strong combat strength list before the world cup, it is related to the poor performance of Poland in the warm-up match, and the combat strength list refers to the performance of the warm-up match, and it is doubtful whether Poland hides its strength in the warm-up match. From the perspective of defeating Venezuela in the first game, the strength of Poland can never be underestimated. Li Nan, head coach of the men's basketball team, has said that the strength of Poland exceeds that of the men's basketball team. In the face of them, the men's basketball team must 'let go' as Li Nan said, and can no longer be as nervous as it was against C ô te d'Ivoire in the first game. At the same time, the Chinese men's basketball team needs to do better in the protection of three-point shots, backcourt rebounds and free throws. Otherwise, the Chinese men's basketball team's game will be a hard struggle.
