After four plane changes, the national youth team finally arrived at the first destination of the European training, Vilnius. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Vilnius, the capital of the Republic of Lithuania, is the largest city in Lithuania and the political, economic and cultural center of the country.

The suburbs of Vilnius are known for their beautiful scenery, with excellent bathing areas on the north-eastern outskirts of the city, and the Trakai lakes on the western outskirts of the city, where the lakes are clear, wooded and pleasantly landscaped, and are well-known as tourist attractions.

Of course, these have nothing to do with the national youth team, after arriving in Vilnius, the national youth team rushed to the Lithuanian national team training base non-stop to carry out adaptive training.

Although Lithuania only declared independence from the Soviet Union on March 11 and was not recognized by the Soviet Union, the Lithuanian national team, led by Avidas Sabonis and Sarunas Mathiolionis, is an unattainable mountain in front of the national youth team.

(PS: At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Arvidas Sabonis and Sarunas Matthew Leonis led the Soviet basketball team to defeat the United States to win the gold medal, and the two were the mainstays of that Soviet basketball team.) ）

According to the news inadvertently revealed by Yataro Ando, the leader of the national youth team, Japan has given a huge amount of international aid to Lithuania, which is in ruins, and the national youth team is the first foreign team to visit, so the Lithuanian national team happily agreed to the warm-up request of the national youth team.

From later generations, Long Zheng knew that the newly formed Lithuanian men's basketball team would be a powerful European team in the future.

As a European powerhouse, the Lithuanian men's basketball team adheres to the traditional European pragmatic style of play, which is also characterized by an overall style of play. The team members are skilled, cooperative, and good at fighting tough battles. The Lithuanian men's basketball team will win three European Championships, with three bronze medals and a fourth-place finish at four Olympic Games from 1992 to 2004.

In the adaptive training, the national youth team and the Lithuanian national team each occupied half of the basketball court, and Long Zheng and others faced the horror and strength of this European powerhouse for the first time.

A good team doesn't depend on any one person, be it a coach or a player.

The Lithuanian men's basketball team interprets the true meaning of team basketball, even with two top stars, Sabonis and Mathio Leonis, the Lithuanian men's basketball team still plays team basketball to the letter.

Although it was only training, the national youth team also saw the characteristics of the Lithuanian players.

Compared with the NBA stars seen on TV, Lithuanian players have average physical fitness, ordinary jumping, and ordinary explosiveness, but their feet are too flexible, and they belong to the standard standing type players with solid basic skills, passing the ball accurately, and interpreting floor flow basketball to the extreme.

Of course, the Lithuanian players also saw the characteristics of the national youth team, that is, it was a mess and there were no bright spots.

The physical fitness is extremely poor, the bounce is very weak, the explosiveness is average, and the feet are sluggish, and the basic skills are mediocre. In their hearts, the national youth team is useless and has become synonymous with scum.

Long Zheng and others often see Lithuanian players getting together and pointing at the players of the national youth team, although the two sides do not understand the language, and Long Zheng and others do not know what the Lithuanian players are talking about, but they can also guess from their contemptuous expressions and contemptuous tones that it must not be a good word.

It's a pity that the skills are not as good as others, everyone can only put the dissatisfaction and helplessness in their hearts, and wait for the strength to respond to the contempt of the Lithuanian players in the warm-up game.

On the morning of the second day, the first warm-up match between the national youth team and the Lithuanian national team officially started.

Comparing the starting lists of the Lithuanian national team and the national youth team, everyone in the national youth team was silent.

Lithuanian national team center forward Avidas Sabonis, 221 cm tall and weighing 127 kg; power forward Pridocas, 209 cm tall and 110 kg in weight; small forward Kuzminskas, who is 204 cm tall and weighs 105 kg; Scoring guard Sarunas Mathio Leonis, 196 cm tall and 91 kg; Point guard Matis is 188 cm tall and weighs 85 kg.

Kozo Yano, the center of the Japanese national youth team, is 203 cm tall and weighs 99 kg; Power forward Hirosuke Chi Ze is 197 cm tall and weighs 96 kg; Small forward Shinnosuke Kishimoto, 194 cm tall and 84 kg in weight; Scoring guard Kota Mimori is 196 cm tall and weighs 90 kg; Point guard Ryumasa Oda is 175 cm tall and weighs 63 kg.

Looking at the Lithuanian national team opposite, the national youth team was under a lot of pressure.

Except for the scoring guard Kota Mimori, the other four positions were completely exploded by the Lithuanian national team in terms of height and weight, and the four of them had no confidence to confront their opponents at all.
