The match between China and Lithuania was played at 8 p.m. on August 22, but since 6 p.m., Chinese fans who have just eaten dinner have been entering the stadium one after another. Tickets have long been swept away, and there are even many fans who have not bought tickets at the gate of Wukesong Stadium, just to take a look at the players of the Chinese men's basketball team and send their encouragement and blessings.

Of course, they didn't expect the Chinese team to beat a strong opponent tonight, in fact, the fans are very satisfying people, they just need to see the national players play a wonderful performance on the field, as for the victory or defeat, they have already reached the semi-finals, what more can they ask for? Even if you don't win a medal, this year's Olympics has also made fans see the hope of Chinese basketball!

The enthusiasm of the fans made the Chinese players ashamed of their performance the day before, and they were determined to give their compatriots a good game, even if they would lose in the end, it would be a big loss.

Before the start of the game, Younas did not emphasize the tactical aspects in the dressing room, he just told everyone to shut their mouths and listen quietly to the sound coming from outside the dressing room. The soundproofing of the locker room in Wukesong Stadium is still very good, but when everyone is quiet, they all hear the faint cheers from outside the door, and they also feel a slight tremor on the ground under their feet, and everyone understands that this is the fans at the scene to show their support in their own way.

Younas said with a serious expression: "I think each and every one of you can feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, I won't talk about tactics or anything here, everything will be played according to the arrangement in our training session." I just want to tell you that you have to behave well on the pitch to be worthy of the fans who support you. China is a huge country with a large population, and in addition to the fans who come to the stadium, there are many more people sitting in front of the TV or computer to watch the game, so don't let them down! ”

Soon everyone was packed up and ready to play, and when Yao Ming opened the door of the locker room, the deafening cheers instantly hit everyone's eardrums. Of course, they don't feel nervous when they play at home, every player is excited in their hearts, this is their home advantage, and they will definitely give Lithuania a little color this time.

However, when the game started, Lithuania dominated the opponent and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's defense. Jasco Visius didn't do well in the NBA, but he was a superstar in Lithuania, and although Younas arranged for Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu to double him up, he was always able to get out of the way and continue to attack before the bag was formed.

As a seasoned player, Jascovysius was clearly unfazed by the atmosphere and hit three three-pointers in a row from the wing to single-handedly help Lithuania get off to a 9-2 start. China's only goal came from Yao Ming, and instead of scoring under the basket, he made a mid-range jumper.

Jasco Visius is the quintessential European guard who doesn't have a great breakout and a mediocre pace of advancement, but playmaking and three-point shooting are his strengths. Those three three-point shots were almost all created by him and his teammates, and then they went straight through the heart, and Jasco Waisius rarely made strong shots against defense, which also guaranteed a shooting percentage.

Younas quickly called a timeout, and the current situation is that Lithuania's outside line can't be pinched, and Kreza's stalking on the inside line makes it impossible for Yao Ming to ask for the ball in the low post very comfortably. Suddenly, he thought of Yao Ming's last three-point shot, and it seemed that he could now draw a gourd and create a three-point shooting opportunity for Yao Ming, depending on whether he could grasp it.

The timeout was short, and Younas immediately asked, "Yao, give you a chance to shoot three points, can you throw it?" ”

Yao Ming scratched his head and didn't say anything: "I'm not sure, but I think I should be able to grasp some opportunities." If the team needs me to open up the game with a three-pointer right now, I'm going to try to get there! ”

Younas nodded: "Very good, now Lithuania has arranged heavy troops on the inside, and you don't have much room for movement, so next you have to play blocking and dismantling with Chen (Jiang Hua), pull him out directly after covering him, and give Yi a chance to find an empty dunk on the inside." If necessary, they can make another pick-and-roll, which should open the Lithuanian defence. ”

Since the game against the United States, Younas likes to put Chen Jianghua in the starting No. 1 position, although he is a little shorter, he has a commendable fighting spirit on the defensive end, and he is amazingly fast, good at breaking through, and can be used in many cases. Now Younas just hopes to let Chen Jianghua's breakthrough contain Lithuania's inner line and prevent them from going to a high position to interfere with Yao Ming.

Although the trend of pulling out the inside to shoot can be said to have originated in Europe, they have never seen a giant like Yao Ming run outside the three-point line to shoot. With Chen Jianghua and Yi Jianlian on the inside to attract defense, the Lithuanian little men have almost nothing to do in the face of Yao Ming, and because Yao Ming catches and shoots, they don't even have a chance to cut the ball.

Younas's sword move finally helped the Chinese team stabilize the situation, but Lithuania still led in the score. There is no way, in the face of Jascovisius's three-point shot, the Chinese team's outside defense seems too watery, and if you don't pay attention to the opponent, it will be a three-point shot. It doesn't matter if he misses the shot, Kreiza is very fierce for rebounding on the inside, and sometimes he can really grab rebounds for the team, which further inspires Jasco Vitius to shoot the basketball, and the shooting percentage is naturally not low.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team fell behind 23-29, and this was because they played a wave of 5-0 in the last 30 seconds, otherwise Lithuania would have led by double digits. Of course, Lithuania was able to score nearly 30 points in a single quarter, and Jascovisius played a great role, hitting 4 three-pointers in this quarter and scoring 12 points, while the Chinese team did not score 4 three-pointers combined.

At the end of the game, Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu looked ashamed, because their defensive task was almost equivalent to failure, and Jascovitius was still too strong, and they were under very heavy pressure. However, in Younas's opinion, this is nothing, the situation of being blown up by Jasco Vysius has been expected long before the game starts, and falling behind by 6 points in the first quarter is not the end of the world, but it is not a matter of always letting Yao Ming shoot three points, and it seems that he needs to think of some better ways to improve the team's scoring efficiency.
