Under the continuous offensive of the Chinese team, Australia asked for a timeout.

Australia started the game very obsessively on the inside, and it didn't work out well.

With Li Liang's defensive protection, and Yi Jianlian's squatting in the three-second area, the Chinese team's interior line is not so easy to break.

In the last game against France, China did not lose on the inside, but the back line was played to death by Parker, Dior and others.

After the timeout, Australia replaced Anderson and replaced No. 10, apparently to abandon the inside line and play a better combination.

Australia is a tenacious team with a good run.

Their players like Dellavedova, Bogut, Baines and others are all players with a simple and practical style of play.

So the overall style is hard-hitting, unlike France, where the game is more demonic.

In the first game of the Olympic Games, the hard-fought Australia beat France to the fat and won by more than 20 points.

And when France fought China, it played brilliantly and killed China.

Now it's China's turn to fight Australia, and the situation is different, China is not afraid of this kind of hard-hitting hard, I'm afraid that you won't go head-to-head with China, playing with flowers, playing demons, China's young experience is not good.

This is called reciprocity.

After the pause, Australia's offensive crisis did not ease.

When Dellavedova broke through, he was whistled for a foul by the referee.

The referee blew it, Li Liang wondered if he had received Yao Ming's money?

Of course, Li Liang will not let go of this good opportunity to widen the difference.

Receive the ball in the middle, cut in with the ball after blocking and dismantling, and squeeze the defender with his body to go inside.

Squeezed to a certain distance, with a strong body, a close-range stop-and-go jump shot, hit the board.

It's so stable.

After that, Australia's No. 10 Balsto received a pass from the opponent on the right side and forced a three-point shot!

The Australian substitution was still effective, and Anderson's role was indeed not as good as that of Balsto.

Then in defense, Yi Jianlian ate Barsto in the low post, but the layup after turning was slapped by him.

The opposition in the Australian defence is really strong, and the white players are very strong and love to fight.

The Aussies launched a counter-attack, but it was unsuccessful.

The ground-hitting pass was kicked out of the bottom line by Guo Allen, Australia's ball possession.

The opportunity for a quick counterattack turned into a positional battle.

Australia's players are visibly getting a little agitated.

If the Chinese team didn't have Li Liang, it wouldn't matter how the opening game went.

Anyway, we can definitely catch up later.

But with Li Liang in the Chinese team, the situation is completely different.

Positional offense, Mills' three-point shot in the bottom corner, still missed.

Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound and began to push the offense unhurriedly.

After halftime, he adjusted his breathing, and Wang Zhelin and Yi Jianlian mentioned a double cover in the high position.

Li Liang moved horizontally to the middle, at the top of the arc, two steps away from the three-point line, and shot directly at the three-point line!

Hit!

The rhythm and feel is fantastic.

Australia really panicked, and the head coach paced back and forth on the sidelines, shouting loudly, directing the players on the field.

Their form has been slow to play.

This is, or No. 10 Barsto, who received a pass from Dellavedova after blocking and dismantling in the high post, and shot again from beyond the three-point line to hit a three-pointer.

The defensive strategy of the Chinese team is still very clear, shrinking, wrapping the ball carrier on the inside line, and letting you shoot on the outside.

You have the ability to die for me, or I will kill you.

In this way, it is to force the opponent to play three-point shots with the Chinese team, or with Li Liang.

The French team did not fall for this, using efficient breakthroughs and dazzling passes to tear apart the Chinese team's defense.

And Li Liang was not in good shape, and finally lost the game.

Now, with two three-pointers in a row, Barsto seems to see a solution to the problem.

didn't expect that this was a trap laid by the Chinese team.

The pace of the game between the two sides gradually became faster, and the Chinese team not only scored three points on the Chinese side, but Yi Jianlian also hit a three-point shot after receiving Zhao Jiwei's pass after blocking and dismantling!

Under the leadership of Li Liang, the Chinese team began the rhythm of the national three-point shot.

In the 10 minutes of the first quarter, the Chinese team led the Australian team by 8 points at 26:18.

The Australian team didn't expect to be pressed and beaten by the Chinese team like this.

Li Liang scored 9 points in the first quarter, and Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhelin, and Guo Allen all scored.

This is a good sign, and I no longer rely too much on Li Liang.

After the start of the second quarter, Coach Gong also boldly rotated and replaced Li Liang with Li Gen.

Lee has rarely played in previous matches, and although he has excellent physical qualities, he has shortcomings in speed and movement.

Lee was immediately effective as soon as he came on the pitch, he was full of energy and very aggressive in the fight.

Hit the inside to make fouls and go to the free throw line - Chairman Yao may really give money to the referee in this game.

Hit both free throws to help the Chinese team further widen the difference.

Australia wanted to chase the points, but the offensive end was not fluent.

At this time, the disadvantages of the three-point shot are apparent, and it is not stable enough.

Australia hit three three-pointers in the first quarter, only to miss consecutive three-pointers from beyond the arc in the second quarter.

Without Li Lianghou on the Chinese team's side, the offense did not play well.

But you don't score, I don't score, I'm the one who leads.

What the Chinese team has to do is to waste time and give Li Liang plenty of rest.

Therefore, even if there is an opportunity to counterattack, Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei will not push the counterattack.

Grinding the position, I would rather grind it out for 24 seconds, convert the ball, and not give Australia a chance to counterattack.

Continue to shrink in defense, resolutely shrink, you can shoot on the outside, and I will pull me down if you shoot to death.

The tactic really worked, and it wasn't until four minutes into the second quarter that Ingles hit a three-pointer.

The margin was narrowed to 5 points.

But the Chinese team called a timeout, and Li Liang was coming back.

Returning to the court with the lead, Li Liang played such a game for the first time.

In the NBA, the days of clocking in in the third quarter and punching in the halftime are long gone.

Li Liang has become accustomed to the rhythm of falling behind by 10 points or 15 points at the beginning and 7 or 8 points at halftime, and then chasing the game by himself.

It's hard to get used to being ahead now.

For his teammates to be so loving, Li Liang will certainly not live up to it.

Back on the pitch, the morale of the whole team was further boosted.

Especially on the defensive end, the Chinese team did a very good job defending tonight.

Turtle shrinkage, joint defense.

Don't think that joint defense is very simple, in fact, joint defense requires a particularly high degree of cooperation between players.

Once there is a situation where the response is not timely and there is no tacit understanding between each other, there will be an embarrassing phenomenon that two people defend against one, but no one will defend against it.

The Chinese team can maintain a joint defensive formation for a long time without dispersing, which can be said to be quite high in discipline and concentration.

In the face of this kind of joint defense, Australia played impetuously, and finally threw three points on the outside and couldn't throw it in.

The attack of the Chinese team is getting smoother and smoother.

Li Liang completely brought the Chinese team's offense to life.

The U.S. team has a group of defensive forwards, the French team has a Batum, and with Gobert on the inside, Li Liang has been limited a lot.

And Australia really doesn't have a defensive player who can threaten Li Liang in the forward position.

As for the inside Bogut...... Li Liang has been killing the interior since the second quarter, challenging Bogut's help defense block.

Bogut's pile defense is very strong, but the help defense block, Begobert is a lot worse.

As a result, Li Liang kept hitting pull-up jump shots on the heads of Bogut or Baines.

Australia originally wanted to defend Li Liang's three-pointer, but was hit by Li Liang's pull-up jump shot.

Bogut was stunned and frustrated.

Shot in the Warriors, how did you get to Australia and still get shot?

At halftime, the Chinese team was 50:40, leading Australia by 10 points!

The Chinese team played perfectly in the first half, holding down Australia, which was stronger overall.

In the second half, in the third quarter, Australia began to fight back.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang, who is well versed in rhythm, suddenly opened in the third quarter.

He uses the "Mid-Range Hit Boost" to transform into a Horned Death.

On the one hand, Li Liang felt that he had a good feel in the middle distance tonight.

On the other hand, Australia's perimeter defenders don't have enough individual defense ability and don't do a good job of defending near the free throw line.

Bogut or Baines cowered inside and couldn't get out.

Li Liang keenly grasped the Australian's loophole and began to hit the mid-range in succession.

After receiving the ball, dribble a little, pull it up and throw it.

received Guo Allen's pass, feint and shake it, pull it up and throw it again.

Compared with the NBA, the ball used in international competitions has changed from six pieces of skin to eight pieces, and there are more stitched surfaces, so the ball is grasped more firmly and the shot is more stable.

Li Liang shot 7 of 8 mid-range jumpers in the third quarter, no free throws, and the Australian coach who shot was squatting on the sidelines in a daze.

The Australian team's waves of counterattacks were all extinguished by Li Liang's mid-range jumper.

In the third quarter, the Chinese team instead expanded the difference to 13 points.

In the fourth quarter, Australia finally struggled.

The Chinese team relied on tenacious defense to hold the advantage, and finally defeated the powerful Australia with an advantage of 87:80, 7 points, and won the first victory of the Rio Olympics!
