Chapter 102 Harvesting the Champion
In the second half, Jonas began to change players more frequently and began to let Sun Yue play point guard.

The advantages of the combined pass of the two high defenders are refreshing, and Lithuania also feels a little troublesome.

Soon Li Hai was also replaced, and the Chinese team's offense without a backbone began to become chaotic, while Lithuania's offense became smoother and smoother, often finding a gap after passing the ball a few times.

The score was quickly overtaken by the opponent and overtook. This time Yunas did not let Li Hai to save the field, but still let the rotation lineup play on it, and Wang Shipeng was also sent to the field.

At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team also fell behind by 48 points at 51:3.

In the crucial quarter, Yunus still didn't send Li Hai on the field immediately.

He allowed the Chinese team to strengthen the press, Liu Wei and Sun Yue entered the state and scored consecutively, but Lithuania's Martinas Andrew Katis also hit consecutive shots, and the score between the two sides was still deadlocked.

With only 4 minutes left in the game, Wang Shipeng scored a three-pointer and Lithuania requested a timeout.

Yunus took the opportunity to replace Li Hai to play the four majors and one junior, allowing Li Hai to take the position of power forward and continue to use the pressing defensive tactics.

Li Hai went up and it was a steal, giving the Chinese team the lead.

Then it was a successful defense, and Zhu Fangyu quickly dribbled the ball and assisted Zhu Fangyu to complete the score.

After a few goals, Lithuania was out of control. At the last moment of the game, the score further expanded, and the Chinese team finally defeated the opponent 77:68.

Without Yao Ming on the court, the Chinese team was able to start with a winning streak, which excited the fans who supported the men's basketball team, and Li Hai's strength was further recognized.

The third opponent of the Chinese team, Puerto Rico, is also a strong team, but Arroyo and other NBA stars in their team did not come, and Puerto Rico is not the team that beat the US team.

In this Sri Lanka Cup, the biggest player is undoubtedly Li Hai of the Chinese team. Other countries do not attach great importance to this kind of competition. If the Chinese team does not perform well, then there will really be a Stankovic Cup. But nothing, fortunately there is Li Hai, the Chinese team is very competitive.

In the match against Puerto Rico on the 29th, Li Hai went to kill the Quartet and led the Chinese team to a double-digit lead.

Next, Jonas began to inspect some fringe players. Li Hai only played for a few minutes in the second half and then clocked out early. Perhaps because he attracted most of the attention, the fights that would have occurred did not occur. The Chinese team Simply and neatly won three consecutive victories.

On July 7th, the opponent of the Chinese team became Argentina. Argentina did not send the main force to win the championship, but it is still much stronger than other teams, whether it is tactical quality or player height.

This is the difference between the teams. For example, Lithuania also has a strong tactical quality, but Jonas is very familiar with Lithuania, and the Chinese team can deal with it more calmly.

When I played against Argentina, I ran into trouble. The opponent could shoot three-pointers from five positions. The Chinese team exposed the problem of defense and was hit by the opponent consecutively. The gap soon reached double digits.

This is also why Li Hai played so badly against a team without stars, which made him dare not underestimate the heroes of the world. Even if he came to the second team, he still had to go all out.

Jonas made adjustments, allowing Yi Jianlian to play the 5th position and play a small lineup.

In this case, Li Hai went to the 4th position, and then replaced Li Nan, Wang Shipeng and other shooters who had just returned from injury, and it was clear that they wanted to attack Argentina.

Li Hai also communicated with the coach, he can play for a longer time if his physical condition is fine.

"Everyone can boldly jump out while defending, and I will help you defend later." When he re-entered the field, Li Hai encouraged loudly.

His football skills are excellent, and he was unable to start the first few games, and his status in the national team gradually improved.

Li Hai didn't talk too much, he went up and immediately rewarded Paul Quinteros who broke through, and then assisted Li Nan to hit a three-pointer.

After becoming a small lineup, the Chinese team's perimeter defense has finally improved.

Li Hai's defensive range was so large that he almost did the work of a center forward. At the end of halftime, the Chinese team was only 2 points behind.

In the second half, by attracting the opponent's defensive attention, Li Hai assisted Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu to hit three-pointers successively, and the score of the Chinese team was turned around.

With two pitchers with a high hit rate, Li Hai felt very comfortable, and an idea popped up naturally.

If the Chinese team has a well-organized lineup, they can play Yao Ming with four pitchers. Li Hai, Zhu Fangyu, and Li Nan plus one may be able to play a miraculous effect.

Li Hai remembered that the original Magic team was Howard leading four pitchers all the way to the finals. It should be possible for the Chinese team to replicate this tactic, and his organizational skills are better than Koglu's.

Now that Yao Ming can't play, this kind of situation is impossible in this game, but it's no problem to play organizational skills. Li Hai's physical fitness is better than anyone else in the opponent. The Argentine players have to guard against him, and they can't do it without pinching , but as long as there is a flanking attack, the ball in Li Hai's hands will be passed to the players ambush on the outside.

When Li Hai led the team, Argentina couldn't take advantage of it.

But as long as Li Hai goes down to rest, there will be problems in the defense of the Chinese team.

There is no way around this, even if Yao Ming can play, it will not be able to solve the problem, unless the Chinese team has a player with a large defense range like Li Hai, or the defensive ability of the perimeter can be strengthened.

In the fourth quarter, Li Hai was already fully fired. First, he ignored the defense and hit a three-pointer, and then he went to the basket and slammed for a dunk.

At 97:86, the two teams were still inseparable in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Argentina completely disarmed and surrendered. The Chinese team also won all four games and won the championship ahead of schedule.

This kind of performance, whether it is the coaches, fans or officials of the Basketball Association, is very satisfactory.

The Chinese team made an easy appearance in the final battle, and Li Hai did not relax his demands on himself. No matter what the opponent was, he wanted to win anyway.

He led the Chinese team to a double-digit lead in the first quarter, and Australia caught up with only 5 points at the end of the half, but in the third quarter Li Hai once again led the Chinese team to a double-digit lead advantage, and then smoothly clock out of get off work.

After the game, Li Hai was undoubtedly selected as the best team of this Sri Lanka Cup. The first Sri Lanka Cup ended in a joyous atmosphere, and Li Hai also returned to the training life.

On the third day after the end of the Sri Lanka Cup, the training had just ended, and Bruce Baker called in a hurry.
