After defeating the Canadian youth team in the first game of the quarterfinals, the situation of the Chinese national youth team is very good, coupled with the results of the group stage brought into this round, the Chinese national youth team now has a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

In the next game, as long as the Chinese national youth team can win one game, it will be able to qualify for the quarterfinals and successfully advance.

However, the next opponent of the Chinese national youth team is not easy to deal with, they are the Lithuanian youth team - the European champions.

The Lithuanian national basketball team is one of the most prestigious and successful teams in the history of basketball, a powerhouse in world basketball, having won three European Championships, five Olympic Games, and three bronze medals.

Former Chinese men's basketball head coach Younas, who is also Lithuanian, also won the first Stankovic Cup in Beijing in 2005.

Lithuania has a strong basketball foundation and strength, and the most famous player is Avidas Sabonis, now

Lithuania also boasts NBA stars such as Klaiza, Marcyanskas and Sangella.

The Lithuanian youth team is also a force to be reckoned with, having just won the European Youth Championship and this time with Jonas Valanciunas, who had just been picked by the Raptors with the fifth pick in the draft, for whom just finishing on the podium would be a huge failure.

Valanciunas was crowned MVP at the UEFA Youth Championships averaging 19.4 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, and he also broke the Lithuanian's draft pick record (Ilgoskas was selected with the 20th pick in the first round in 1996).

In addition to Valanciunas, their core defender Devidas. Pulis is the No. 2 scorer for Lithuania's youth team, averaging 15.8 points per game in the UEFA youth team, both offensively and defensively.

The two of them are the golden combination of the Lithuanian youth team, and although the other players in the team are not very prominent, the Lithuanian youth team inherits the essence of European basketball, and the overall cooperation is unpretentious, and the skills and tactics are exquisite.

"Gao Da Zhuang" was looking at the game materials while following the team to board the car to the competition venue when he suddenly heard someone call him.

"Huh?" Gao Dazhuang looked back, and it turned out to be an "old acquaintance" - Yang Yi, a big reporter of "Sports Weekly" and a basketball commentator on CCTV Sports Channel, and Yang Yi was talking to Coach Wang Huaiyu at this time.

"Hello Brother Yi" Gao Dazhuang was very polite to greet Yang Yi in the past, after several contacts, Gao Dazhuang found that Yang Yi is still a very good person, it was Yang Yi's article in "Sports Weekly" that let more people know about Gao Dazhuang.

"This kid has grown up too fast, not only has he gained a foothold in the Shanghai team, but he is also leading the national youth team to create history, it's amazing," at this time, Yang Yi patted the tall and strong shoulder and said to Coach Wang Huaiyu on the side.

"Then you media should pay more attention to our youth team," Coach Wang Huaiyu said with a smile.

"This is natural, "Sports Weekly" will do a detailed and continuous report on the World Youth Championships, and if the national youth team can go further, CCTV Sports Channel will consider broadcasting a national youth team game" Yang Yi's arrival itself speaks for itself, and the good record of the national youth team has made the domestic media also begin to pay attention to the national youth team playing in Latvia.

"Da Zhuang, do you have any confidence in today's game?" After speaking, Yang Yi turned his head to Gao Dazhuang and asked.

"Confidence is definitely there, but Lithuania is the European champion, it must be a difficult bone to gnaw, I am ready in my heart" The tall and strong answer is not leaky.

"Yes, Da Zhuang, you have been playing more and more steadily recently, and your average mistakes per game have decreased a lot," Yang Yi continued.

"This is the coach's trust, Coach Wang told me that attacking the basket when you are blind on the court, you are right," Gao Dazhuang replied with a smile.

"Haha"

"Good boy"

……

It is still the Lille National Stadium in Latvia, and the two sides of the game are the Chinese national youth team VS Lithuania youth team.

The Chinese national youth team starts: point guard Guo Allen, scoring guard Gao Dazhuang, small forward Xing Zhiqiang, power forward Zhai Xiaochuan, center Wang Zhelin.

Lithuania youth team starters: point guard Redickas, scoring guard Devidas Pulis, small forward Sakukas, power forward Mokowitz, center Jonas Valanciunas.

With a "pop", the game officially began.

The NBA's new No. 5 pick, Valanciunas, showed his good arm span, beating the Chinese youth team center Wang Zhelin in the jump ball, and the Lithuanian youth team took the lead in attacking.

The first ball was Lithuania youth point guard Reddicas hoisted the ball into Valanciunas, who was asking for the ball inside.

As soon as "Pong, Pong, Pong" received a pass, Valanciunas immediately attacked, and continuous dribbling squeezed the inside.

Although Wang Zhelin has a slight advantage in height, he is obviously inferior to Valanciunas in strength, and the continuous impact makes the slightly thin Wang Zhelin involuntarily take a few steps back in a row.

At this moment, Valanciunas suddenly swung his head to the left and reached out with his left hand holding the ball.

Just as Wang Zhelin was moving sideways, intending to block his opponent, Valanciunas suddenly did the opposite, suddenly turned to the right side, and broke through.

Valanciunas dribbled with one hand and turned around with Wang Zhelin in the other, but his strong body seemed extremely fast at that moment.

Valanciunas spun a spin to squeeze a space under the basket and immediately jumped to shoot the basket.

"Smack", Valanciunas hit, and Tao Wan's youth team scored first.

"Damn, this guy is so strong," Wang Zhelin touched his chest and said.

"He's an NBA-caliber guy, but you'll be too," Tall and Strong whispered from the side.

"Oh, hopefully" Wang Zhelin is currently the most promising of China's young players to enter the NBA, and of course the strong rise of tall and strong has changed that.

The Chinese national youth team attacked.

The "snap" ball was handed over to the tall and strong, and the person in charge of marking the tall and strong was another core player of the Lithuanian youth team, Dvidas Pulis.

In addition to being the No. 2 scorer for Lithuania's youth team, Dvidas Pulis is also a strong defender on the perimeter, and he is a strong player in both offense and defense.

Tall and strong dribbled slowly close to Pulis, and when the two were very close, Gao Dazhuang suddenly sank his shoulder, and the ball slammed into the ground, without any feints, he wanted to use his speed to force a flash past Priss.

Pris, who has a lot of defensive experience, immediately leaned up with his body and stuck to the tall strong, intending to interfere with the big man's burst and speed by ramming.

With the sound of "Peng", the two made physical contact, but this collision obviously could not stop Gao Dazhuang, who still relied on his strong explosive power to forcibly surpass Pulis.

However, the Lithuanian youth team obviously has a certain study of the attacking core of the Chinese national youth team, and their entire formation contracted quickly, and a player made up for it in an instant, blocking the tall and strong forward line.

At this time, Gao Dazhuang suddenly moved sideways, not only widening the distance from the blocking players in front, but also flashing Pulis who was chasing behind him, and Gao Dazhuang directly retreated and jumped.

"Dang" was just a tall and strong shot, the ball bounced out of the basket, and the rebound was directly grabbed by Valanciunas.

The Lithuanian youth team's offense was well-organized, with a lot of cross-covering and pick-and-roll from teammates.

"Tut" Lithuanian forward Sakukas's air-cut layup caused a defensive foul on Guo Allen.

"Brush", "Brush", Lithuanian youth team small forward Sakukas hit 2 free throws.

The Chinese national youth team was passive from the beginning.

"Slow down, slow down, don't rush" Wang Huaiyu, the head coach of the Chinese youth team off the field, reminded the players loudly.

With a "snap", Coach Wang Huaiyu's words fell, and the Chinese youth team made a mistake in the eyes, and Guo Allen's horizontal pass was stealed by the opponent.

The Lithuanian youth team took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.

In the case of playing more and playing less, Lithuania's youth team point guard Redikas scored an easy layup.

"Rip off, pull off" The tall and strong man controls the ball at the top of the arc, directing the positions of his teammates.

At this moment, the Lithuanian youth team adopts the 32 joint defense commonly used in Europe, which takes into account the regional joint defense while ensuring the counterpoint joint defense, which shows that the tactical literacy of the Lithuanian youth team is very good.

At this time, the tall and strong one suddenly accelerated, and the dribble under the crotch changed to break through, and instantly flashed the defender Pulis.

However, the tall and strong who broke into the interior did not find a good attacking opportunity, and the Lithuanian youth team's defense contracted quickly, and the center forward Jonas Valanciunas was also well positioned.

Tall and strong slipped around the inside and then turned out and passed the ball to Guo Allen outside the three-point line.

Guo Allen received the ball and shot, "dang", the shot of the Chinese national youth team still missed.

Valanciunas picked up this defensive rebound with ease.

In the blink of an eye, the Lithuanian youth team advanced the ball to the front court.

His shooting guard Devidas Pulis took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll to break free from his tall and strong defense and make a decisive jumper.

"When" Pulis didn't go in, but Valanciunas struck under the basket and flicked his hand lightly.

"Brushing" the basketball changes its trajectory and falls into the net.

8：0

As soon as the game started, the Lithuanian youth team played a wave of 8:0 attacks.

A whistle sounded, and the Chinese national youth team asked for a timeout.
