Chapter 235 The Battle of the Quarterfinals - Lithuania!

At 4 p.m. on August 20, the Wukesong Stadium was once again filled with Chinese fans, not only inside the stadium, but also outside the stadium surrounded by fans who came to watch the game.

In this Olympic Games where the men's volleyball team struggled to qualify and the men's football team was eliminated early, the Chinese men's basketball team can be said to have earned enough face for China's three major balls.

If it weren't for being in the same group as the U.S. team, everyone would believe that it was entirely possible for the Chinese team to win all five games.

Beat Lithuania to reach the semi-finals! This is the goal of the Chinese team tonight.

The game was about to begin, and in the dressing room of the Chinese team, the players formed a circle with Li Cheng as the center.

As one of the oldest players in the national team, Li Nan shouted loudly: "Brothers, what do we want for today's game?" ”

"Victory!"

"Do we have a way out today?"

"Nope!"

"What are we going to do later?"

"Defeat the Lithuanians!"

"It's game time, let's go!" Li Cheng's last sentence made everyone's morale to the top.

……

"Why hasn't the game started yet? I can't wait. "There are already fans in the stadium who can't wait.

"If this game is won, the Chinese team will completely break through history."

"Yes! I'm really looking forward to it! ”

As long as the Chinese team wins this game, they will be able to truly make history.

Although their current group stage record is enough to break their previous eighth-place record, their history of never breaking through the quarter-finals of the Olympics remains unrewritten.

However, as long as the Chinese team defeats Lithuania today, they will be able to enter the semi-finals and completely change history. And as long as they make it to the semi-finals, they will be able to challenge for medals, and they will have a chance to become the first Chinese national team in history to win a medal at the Olympics.

But today's Lithuanian hurdle is definitely not easy for the Chinese team, after all, Lithuania is also a strong team in the world basketball arena. They also have the quality to win medals.

Younas is in a bit of a weird mood today, today he will lead the Chinese men's basketball team against the team of his home country. On the one hand, it is his job, and on the other hand, the team of his homeland.

It can be said that today's game is a battle for peace. Such a showdown is a bit like the contest between the American women's volleyball team and the Chinese women's volleyball team.

Lang Ping's U.S. team will play against China in the semifinals.

It can be said that there is no winner in such a duel in the end, because everyone is the winner.

"I hope I can lead the Chinese team to the next level, even though today I am facing a team from my home country. But even if I win today, I won't celebrate, I will only carry the expectations of the people of my country to attack a better result. ”

"We have Li Cheng in our team. We can reach all possible heights, trust us, believe in this Chinese team. ”

Younas said in an interview with reporters.

Because of Younas's identity, because of the significance of the Chinese team after the victory of this game, this game has received a lot of attention across the country.

In this Olympic Games, Li Cheng's sneakers and jerseys have been sold like crazy. His sneakers are the best-selling of any Nike signing, and his jersey is the best-selling of any player competing at the Olympics.

So no matter how you look at it, this game will not be short of attention.

There's a reason to watch this game, and there's a star that people are crazy about in this game.

But the game, which was widely watched by fans in China, did not develop according to the script that Chinese fans had in mind at the beginning.

Lithuania were in a frenzied rush to grab points in the opening stages of the game. Their three-point shot hit three and hit three, directly hitting the Chinese team 11-4.

"The Chinese team fell behind after the start, and with the scoring explosiveness of the Chinese team, this shouldn't be!"

"The game has just begun, and the Chinese team's strong scoring power is due to Li Cheng's strong scoring ability. But now Li Cheng hasn't started to exert his strength! ”

"In this game, Li Cheng was defended by the opponent very much, and I don't know if he still has room to help the Chinese team open up the situation."

"This year's Chinese team is very strong, but the only strong places are Li Cheng and Yao Ming. As long as there is a team that can strangle the Chinese team to death these two points, the Chinese team will be finished. ”

"The Chinese team now does not have the weakness of pressing all over the court. But in fact, their weaknesses are more obvious. As long as Li Cheng is guarded and the internal and external connections of the Chinese team are cut off, the entire offensive system of the Chinese team will be self-defeating. ”

"The Chinese team with Li as the core. It's clear that they are strong in attack and weak in defense, so they will never rely on defense to win. Their offense is crazy, but it has to be Lee Cheng to drive the rhythm. ”

The commentator analyzed it very well, but the players of the Chinese team did not think so on the field.

"We can't rely on Li Cheng alone, we must also come up with something, otherwise if we drag Li Cheng back, we will definitely become the target of the people of the whole country." Liu Wei thought secretly in his heart.

He could see that Li Cheng had worked hard, but Li Cheng was very targeted by the opponent regardless of whether he attacked with the ball or ran without the ball.

What's even worse is that even if Li Cheng ran without the ball, he ran out of chances. But Liu Wei couldn't pass the ball over at the first time, which is a matter of personal ability and has nothing to do with consciousness.

This time the Chinese team attacked, Liu Wei decided to change the style of play. Li Cheng is not the only player on the field in the Chinese team, there must be other ways.

The Chinese team has two strong points, one Li Cheng was sealed, and there is still a fierce beast in the inner line! The internal and external contact of the Chinese team is not only through Guò Li Cheng, Yao Ming and I are partners who have grown up together, who dares to say that they know him better than me?

Li Cheng ran again and ran out of chance, Liu Wei glanced at Li Cheng, there was always a Lithuanian player between him and Li Cheng in the way.

Liu Wei dribbled for a moment, and then he pretended to lean in the direction of Li Cheng, and all the Lithuanian players looked at Li Cheng's defense, and many people involuntarily took a step in Li Cheng's direction.

"This is your chance!"

Liu Wei's body tensed instantly, and then shouted, "Da Yao! ”

Then Liu Wei changed the direction of the ball with a wrist button, and then threw his arm hard, and the basketball was like a sharp scalpel that completely tore apart the Lithuanian defense.

Yao Ming squeezed the Lithuanian center behind him with a wave of his arm and a hard cross, then he grabbed the basketball, turned around and swung his big elbow away, swung away the defender, and then turned and smashed the ball into the basket. (To be continued......)
