The game against Lithuania was arguably the toughest game Yao Ming had at this year's Olympics, as Kreza's simple and rough defense on the inside made it difficult for him to score deep under the basket, forcing him to go beyond the three-second zone and even shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

Although Chen Jianghua continued to attack Lithuania's basket after tactical adjustments, the opponent's iron wall made him helpless, and seven or eight times out of ten times he wanted to pass the ball. The rest of the times were basically interfered with by the other party, and they also ate a big hat from Creza. As for Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu, the two of them are still busy defending Jascovy Hughes!

Chang Wei saw Younas's entanglement, he leaned over and whispered, "Otherwise, we will attack Lithuania." Especially on the inside, we can let Wang Zhizhi partner with Yao Ming, so that the big men in Lithuania may not be able to stop it. ”

Younas frowned and said: "But Wang Zhizhi's age is a problem, Lithuania's interior players are too fierce and very good at physical confrontation, I am not sure how long he can last in such a high-intensity game." ”

Chang Wei shook his head: "Now is not the time to think about physical strength, only by defeating the opponent, all the sacrifices are worthwhile." What's the use of retaining enough stamina if you lose this game? Moreover, I believe that Wang Zhizhi can withstand the physical exertion, he is a technical interior lineman, and there is no need to fight Kreiza at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. ”

After a little consideration, Younas agreed, this is indeed the most reasonable way at the moment, although I am not sure if it will work, but for the Chinese men's basketball team, not changing means always following the opponent's ass and trying to catch up.

Younas simply didn't do anything, and after putting the twin towers of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi on the inside, he replaced Chen Jianghua with Du Feng. The average height of the current Chinese team's on-court lineup should definitely not be underestimated, because except for Sun Yue returning to his familiar No. 1 position, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng are both swaying downward, which also means that Younas hopes to limit his opponent through his height advantage.

Sure enough, the effect of this was immediate, and in the face of Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng's bag, Jascovitius was not as easy to deal with as before, and he even ate Du Feng's block at the top of the arc. The height advantage makes it unnecessary for Du Feng to make a steal, he only needs to cover Jascovisius with his height, and the steal or something will be handed over to Zhu Fangyu.

What's more, now all five players of the Chinese team have the ability to shoot from the outside, everyone can hold the ball, everyone can be a cover, and everyone can be the endpoint. Although Sun Yue's ability to attack in tandem is slightly lacking, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi are both players who can be used as playmakers, and with their passes, the Chinese team's attack has not been affected.

In the first four minutes of the second quarter, the Chinese team threw in five three-pointers, and the defense of Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng allowed Jascovisius to score only 2 points, and the Chinese men's basketball team narrowed the gap to 2 points in one fell swoop. However, at this time, the 26-year-old newcomer Yasetis, who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in the Lithuanian team, stepped up, he broke through the layup in a row, and also caused Wang Zhizhi's defensive foul by the way, scoring 7 points alone, and once again helped Lithuania pull the score away. Although it was the first time to stand on the Olympic stage, Yasetis did not feel uncomfortable at all, his every move was like a tried and tested veteran, and his leadership temperament was also good.

Previously, the attention of the Chinese men's basketball team was all on Jascovitius and Kreza, but the outbreak of Yasetis instantly disrupted their deployment. However, Younas did not plan to make substitutions, but hoped that the players would solve their own problems on the field, although Yasetis played a good performance, but the Chinese players may not be afraid of him, they also have excellent players.

Sure enough, Zhu Fangyu, the top scorer in the CBA, began to use his best way to compete against Yassetis, and he chose the most morale-boosting method - a strong three-point shot against the defense. Lithuania's outside defense is also good, but Zhu Fangyu doesn't care if there is a defender in front of him every time he receives the ball, he jumps directly and shoots, at most, he uses his feints to shake up the space, and then completes a drifting shot, the key is that the basketball can still obediently get into the basket.

Until the end of the second quarter of the game, Zhu Fangyu and Yasetis were on the court, and no one could suppress anyone. Chang Wei and Younas were surprised by Zhu Fangyu's performance, the pitchers of the Chinese men's basketball team have not performed well in international competitions, but Zhu Fangyu refreshed their cognition, and it seems that there are still reliable shooters in China.

With Zhu Fangyu's final 0.8 seconds of three points, the Chinese team tied 47 with Lithuania at the end of the first half, and Zhu Fangyu himself scored 12 points in the second quarter. Younas praised everyone's performance in the dressing room at half-time, and without his further advice, everyone's hearts were burning with the desire to win, and now it seems that they do have a chance to beat Lithuania to advance to the final and at least a medal, which is clearly a shot in the arm.

Chang Wei was also amazed by this, he didn't expect the Chinese men's basketball team to go so far. Judging from the performance in the first half, the probability of the two teams winning can only be said to be half and half, maybe Lithuania has a better chance of winning, but China is not without opportunities. As long as we continue to maintain the offensive firepower of the first half, it is entirely possible to win the game.

Younas didn't talk too much about tactics, but asked the players to hurry up and recover their strength, and Chang Wei also swirled around the locker room, using his professional knowledge to help everyone improve the speed of recovery. Although the first half drew with Lithuania, the physical consumption of the Chinese men's basketball team is also huge, especially Wang Zhizhi, who is now like being fished out of the water, and the jersey can only be changed to do it.

In fact, Wang Zhizhi's mentality is also understandable, although he was born in 1977, although he is only 31 years old, but Yi Jianlian because of his hard work in the NBA, his personal growth is very fast, the next London Olympics He is undoubtedly a more reliable helper around Yao Ming, and there is not much time left for Wang Zhizhi in each game, so why not take this opportunity to fight?

Of course, most of the other players also think the same way, but they don't think about the next Olympics, they just think it's a pity to give up now, it's better to grit their teeth and contribute all their strength, maybe a miracle will happen!
