On September 25th, the match between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team began, this game is an important battle for both sides, the Chinese team can win to determine the group qualification, and the Lithuanian team lost to France in the first three games, and there are strong opponents like the United States in the back, if they lose to China, even if they can qualify, there will be no good qualifying, therefore, this game is also a must-win for them.

After the start of the game, the first attack of the Chinese team was handed over to Yao Ming, a big man who would suffer from double packs most of the time, but in this game it was Ilgoskas to defend alone, firstly, Ilgoskas was a big man about the same size as Yao Ming, and he was an NBA player, and secondly, the Chinese team had Ding Hongxing on the outside line, a strongman who attracted double packs, and the opponent could not have someone to wrap Yao Ming, this is Ding Hongxing's bonus to the team, and his presence can reduce the defensive pressure on all teammates.

In the first game, he repeatedly singled out the NBA center, so that the young Yao Ming has a strong self-confidence, he played his inside skills to the fullest in this game, making Ilgoskas miserable, he tried his best to prevent Yao Ming's attack, Yao Ming's skills are too comprehensive, hook hands, back singles, face frame breakthrough, backward jumpers, beautiful footwork, empty dunks, and even be able to pull out of the three-point line to shoot, which makes Ilgoskas unable to defend.

Such Yao Ming, if you want to prevent it, it can only be a double bag, but because of the existence of Ding Hongxing, it is not possible to double bag, so you can only expect Yao Ming to feel bad, when a big man of 2.26 meters leans back and throws, it is impossible to be disturbed, just right, today Yao Ming feels good, in the first quarter, he can be called to give and take, and cut fifteen points in a single quarter.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, Yao Ming was finally replaced, and the Lithuanian team didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, Ding Hongxing started his performance again, he frequently broke through the ball, creating three-point opportunities for his outside teammates, and as long as there was a problem with Lithuania's interior defense, he would make his own layup or dunk, which made the Lithuanian team's defense very difficult, and the defense was not smooth, resulting in them not being able to find a feel in the offense, in basketball games, offense and defense often complement each other.

By the middle of the second quarter, the Lithuanian team had fallen behind the Chinese team by more than ten points, and in most of the quarter, Ding Hongxing scored eleven points and four assists, at this time, Yao Ming was replaced again, and the nightmare of the Lithuanian team began again.

Today's Ding Hongxing, as long as Yao Ming is on the court, he consciously makes a ball for him, because he hopes that Yao Ming can fully show his ability in such a competition, in history, Yao Ming is the NBA's champion show after two seasons, he doesn't want Yao Ming's champion show to lose because of his existence and failure to get full performance opportunities, then he is too sorry for Yao Ming, so he wants Yao Ming to show to his heart's content.

Yao Ming is also very competitive, he still maintains his feel, the classic scene of his fist clenching and roaring after he scored a beautiful goal in this game appears frequently, Ilgoskas looks like a small player in front of him, he is simply powerless to resist such a giant, no one is entrapped, he wants to resist Yao Ming is simply impossible.

By the second half,

The Lithuanian team changed its defensive strategy, the moment after Ding Hongxing passed the ball to Yao Ming, they would let a player who wrapped Ding Hongxing quickly go to Bao Yao Ming, the first time it had an effect, Yao Ming was stunned, the ball was cut off, but the second time when they pounced on Yao Ming, Ding Hongxing quickly started to rush to the weak side of the inner line, Yao Ming hit the ball to the ground, Ding Hongxing received the ball and dunked without defense, this move easily cracked the Lithuanian team's package strategy.

This is the power of the Chinese team to have two players who need to be clamped, you need to pay the price no matter who is wrapping, it's like two cups of poison, you have to choose one cup, this is still Yao Ming is still very young, his physical fitness has not yet reached his peak, and various skills still need to be polished, and when Yao Ming becomes more and more mature in a few years, the Chinese team will be stronger at that time.

The Chinese team relied on Yao Ming's inside singles and Ding Hongxing's occasional play, and has been firmly ahead of the Lithuanian team by more than 15 points, so that the Lithuanian team has no temper, every time they want to get up, Ding Hongxing will temporarily take over the game, either a steal and a dunk, or an unreasonable three-point shot, so that the score gap back to a safe distance, just like an adult and a child race, every time the child thinks they can catch up, the adult will reopen the distance with a little force, This feeling of being teased left the Lithuanian team powerless.

Under the escort of Ding Hongxing, Yao Ming showed his offensive means in this game, he is simply an inside arsenal, a 2.26 meter player can have such flexible steps, ( ) can have such a comprehensive offensive means, this is simply incredible, Yao Ming originally had a high call to enter the NBA, after this game, there are more NBA teams that are optimistic about him.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Lithuanian team 109-86, Yao Ming scored a game-high 38 points, Ding Hongxing didn't shoot much, got a triple-double of 29 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists, and five steals and four blocks, two of which were given to Ilgoskas, both of which were Ilgoskas singles Yao Ming on the inside, when he turned around to attack the basket, Ding Hongxing suddenly hit the help defense block successfully, this is the role of a big man like Yao Ming, When he is defending inside, it is difficult for the opponent's center to go to a deep position, and their shots will be adjusted to a higher arc, wanting to bypass Yao Ming's fingertips, so that the shooting speed and ball speed will slow down.

Players like Yao Ming, their own rebounds and blocks may not be among the top ones, but they can top people, can force the opponent to change their habitual shooting techniques, and reduce the opponent's shooting percentage, this is the defensive system that comes with a top center, although Yao Ming is not yet fully mature, but has shown such valuable value.

Winning this battle, the Chinese team won three wins and one loss, and basically determined to qualify from the group.
