Chapter 904: The Rules of the Pit Daddy
After the game, CCTV reporters interviewed Li Liang.
Li Liang played a full game in the second half, without a minute of rest, and when he was interviewed, he was called a man with a big head.
Of course, the reporter's level of questions is still not high, so he asked Li Liang what he thinks.
How can you feel and be happy? Isn't it fun to win?
But as the top name of the men's basketball team, especially if he can be on TV this time in the Olympic Games, he will definitely be seen by his family, Li Liang still has to pretend to say a few words.
"Thank you to the country for giving me the opportunity to join the national team and participate in the Olympics, which means a lot to me. I've won a lot of NBA titles, but the Olympics every four years really mean a different thing. I'm very happy to get the first win today and hopefully we can keep going and we can do even better." ”
When speaking seriously, Li Liang can still be decent, and his small mouth is smeared with honey.
In the face of the reporter's question of no nutrition, the head of the answer is the Tao, not uh-huh, that's.
After returning to the locker room, everyone was even happier.
Warm-up matches, Olympic group stage, double defeat Australia!
Australia is a country with a very close history with China.
There are really many Chinese who go to study and travel every year, and the country also imports a large amount of ore from Australia every year.
As a result, this criminal penal colony has nothing to say well about China all day long.
Bogut ridiculed the Chinese men's basketball team, and it was not once or twice that he made a lot of nonsense.
Now that Li Liang is here, it really makes the Australians lose their temper.
Australia has been hoping to "leave Australia and join Asia" in the sports world for the past two years, and they have succeeded in football.
At the 2015 Asian Cup held in Australia, Australia successfully lifted the trophy and won the championship.
"Asia", which was originally a patchwork continent based on Western culture, is now stuffed into a big hooligan.
If the Australian men's basketball team participates in Asian competitions, the days of the Chinese team's dominance in Asia are likely to come to an end.
The overall strength of the opponent is indeed stronger than the Chinese team, unless Li Liang is stationed in the national team.
However, Li Liang has already told Yao Ming that unless there is an Olympic Games or World Championships held in China next time, Li Liang will not participate in the national team.
Asian-wide tournaments will not be even more participating.
After winning against Australia, the Chinese team took a big step towards the goal of the quarterfinals.
There are two opponents behind, one is Serbia and the other is Venezuela.
Venezuela is the weakest, even without Li Liang, the Chinese team has a chance to beat the opponent, let alone add a Li Liang.
It can be said that the situation of qualifying is very good.
By August 11, the two teams were fighting.
But after the start of the competition, it proved that none of the teams that can enter the Olympics are easy to bully.
The Chinese team is not easy to bully, and Venezuela is also not easy to bully.
After the opening of China, Li Liang still followed the previous game, grabbed medicine according to the prescription, made the ball for his teammates, and let the whole team participate in the attack.
As a result, the Chinese team's outside shot was inaccurate and missed continuously.
And a South American team like Venezuela is very similar to France in style, but it is very demonic.
The breakthrough of small players on the outside, as well as flexible counterattacks, made Chinese players very uncomfortable.
Again, it takes experience to get used to playing tough games and overcoming rigidity with softness, but you don't have enough experience.
So, Li Liang tasted the familiar taste again - he was beaten 15:0 by Venezuela in the opening game!
The hearts of Chinese fans are hanging.
Gong Lu called a timeout, allowing the players to adjust their state, starting with the offense and starting from the inside.
Li Liang himself was a little anxious, and he calmed down.
It's okay, 0:15, the familiar feeling is back.
After the timeout, Li Liang took the lead in scoring a basket and broke through, causing a defensive foul on Venezuela and hitting a free throw.
Then, the Chinese team started from defense, and the Chinese team adopted a two-guard lineup.
Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei appeared on the stage, making the Chinese team's defender defense more sticky.
The two men stalked the opponent's ball handler and caused problems for Venezuela's interspersed attack.
On the offensive end, the Chinese team used its height advantage to keep hitting Venezuela's interior.
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team stabilized the situation and ended the first quarter with 15:25, 10 points behind Venezuela.
In the second quarter, the Chinese team blew the horn of counterattack.
Li Liang was resting off the field at this time, and Guo Allen began to show the power of his eldest nephew.
He controlled most of the ball in the Chinese team.
first assisted Yi Jianlian to make a jumper.
Then he used cover in the counterattack and hit a three-point shot from the outside.
In the end, he carried the explosive bag and forced the basket to make a foul and go to the free throw line.
The Chinese team quickly closed the score.
The Venezuelan team's shooting percentage has slipped and the offensive end has stalled.
As Yi Jianlian hit a three-pointer from the outside, the Chinese team tied the score in the first four minutes of the second quarter!
And it doesn't depend on Li Liang, it's on the efforts of other players!
This is a great boost to the morale of the Chinese team.
When Li Liang returned to the court, the momentum of the game had fully gone to the Chinese team's side.
Li Liang was on the outside, using his ability to shoot two three-pointers with a 24-second whistle.
The Chinese team quickly took the lead.
At half-time, the Chinese team turned to a five-point lead.
At the beginning of the second half, the other players of the Chinese team began to exert their might.
Wang Zhelin won a strong shot in the low post, and Guo Allen broke through to the basket successfully.
Compared with the French team, Venezuela has one less Gobert, and the inside line is completely suppressed by the Chinese team.
Although Li Liang floats outside to shoot three-pointers, he is actually a big forward, and he can be regarded as an insider.
After taking the lead, Li Liang began to control the field.
The pace of the game slowed down, and then he kept using his breakthrough to make a pull-up jumper, which sent Venezuela into despair.
For this move, there is no top-level basket protection inside line, don't be like containment.
Even Bogut was thrown by Li Liang with a bag all over his head, not to mention the Venezuelan team.
By the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team had expanded the difference to 11 points.
The point difference did not widen further, but it was sufficient.
An experienced hunter like Li Liang will not let his prey escape from under his mouth.
Venezuela wanted to make fouls, press all over the court, make tackles, try to make a last-ditch struggle.
But the ball was in Li Liang's hands, as if it had entered a safe, and the steal did not exist.
Li Liang's possession and confrontation are very stable, and Venezuela's encirclement and pressing are all futile, which will destroy his defensive formation.
Li Liang did not waste three points, but played steadily, using breakthroughs, assists, and pull-up jumpers to suppress the momentum of Venezuela's counterattack.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated Venezuela by 83:74 and 9 points and won two games.
The victory in this game was actually expected.
Unexpectedly, Li Liang only scored 20 points in this game.
Guo Allen scored 17 points and Yi Jianlian scored 18 points, and it can be said that the performance of these two is very important.
Li Liang finally felt supported by his teammates.
The last opponent of the Chinese team is the Serbian team.
Serbia's current record is 1 win and 3 losses.
If they beat the Chinese team in the last game, then according to the relationship between the winners and losers, the Chinese team will also be eliminated by Serbia.
Therefore, the Chinese team must defeat Serbia in the last game to enter the quarterfinals with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses.
This situation is still relatively grim, which means that the Chinese team's victory over Venezuela is of little significance.
Even if they didn't win, they were 1-3 with Serbia, and they won the last game against Venezuela and still entered the quarterfinals.
If you lose the last game, then I'm sorry, if you win, Venezuela will win in vain, and you will still be eliminated according to the relationship between victory and defeat.
Li Liang didn't know this ranking method very well before, and thought to himself what kind of bullshit rule this was.
In the case of a single round-robin, the arrangement of the schedule will have a big impact on the result of the promotion.
It can only be said that FIBA is still not particular enough.
If the Chinese team wants to enter the quarterfinals, it must fight Serbia to the death.
