God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 589 Lost
The confident Chinese players suffered a head-on blow at the beginning of the second half. Jaskovicius and Jasertis scored 7 points to start the game, but their offense was sluggish again and again. All three shots were made with iron, and even rebounds The ball was missed.Obviously, Lithuania has learned how to behave after the intermission. They did not rely on two insiders to rush for rebounds, but at the cost of giving up the conversion offense. All five players shrank to the basket to protect the rebounds. In such a situation, even Yao Ming could not do anything. .

At this time, it was the veteran who was really stable. Under the cover of Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi finally received the ball from Chen Jianghua from the outside at the elbow. After a fake, he made a jumper and helped the Chinese team open the scoring in the second half.But it is obviously not enough to rely on him alone to score. Lithuania has shown a strong offensive firepower, and others must also stand up.

However, in the second quarter, Zhu Fangyu, who was in a brave state, seemed to have lost his shooting bag. Except for one floater, he couldn't make any other shots. The result of wasting opportunities frequently was that Lithuania regained the advantage on the court.

Seeing this, Yunus was anxious. He frantically waved his arms on the sidelines, signaling the players to attack with all their strength, and stop letting Wang Zhizhi struggle on the inside.Originally, Yonas could play Yao Ming, but the latter played almost the entire first half, so at the beginning of the third quarter, he still hoped that Yao Ming could rest more, so the inside combination of Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian who started in the second half, the effect is obvious Not as good as Yao Ming on the court, and the Chinese men's basketball team also played very passively.

Seeing that Lithuania was about to widen the point difference to double digits, Jonas quickly replaced Yao Ming.Yao Ming also knew that he had a heavy responsibility. After playing, he immediately went deep to the basket to position himself, hoping to stop the team's bleeding through low-post singles.The man in charge of defending against Yao Ming was the muscular Kleiza, and he was going all out. He looked like he was hanging on Yao Ming, but he couldn't keep him close to the basket, even if Yao Ming used a turnaround jumper to score a point. Reza also admitted.

I have to say that Kleiza's stalking defensive effect is still good. Yao Ming is basically unable to move an inch in the low post, and can only continue to use shots to score.On the contrary, the Lithuanian players took turns shooting and scoring from the outside, always holding the initiative of the game.

Moreover, their outstanding performance on the offensive end gave them more confidence on the defensive end. Everyone ran desperately without sparing their physical strength, blocking every possible shot opportunity for Chinese players.The only good news is that their shooting percentage is not high. With Yao Ming's mid-range shooting, the Chinese men's basketball team can barely control the point difference to single digits. It is absolutely impossible to recover.

Chang Wei shook his head gently on the sidelines, it seems that the so-called strong team temperament still exists.The performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games is indeed amazing, but they are like upstarts without much background.But Lithuania is different. They have always been a strong team in the European basketball world. able to sustain their actions.

The Chinese men's basketball team obviously can only rely on Yao Ming. Maybe other players can provide some help, but basically it is a drop in the bucket, unless they can use unreasonable three-pointers like Zhu Fangyu in the second quarter.Jonas did not dare to replace Yao Ming. With Lithuania's current state, once he replaced Yao Ming, the Chinese team might collapse in a short time.

Of course, Yao Ming did not disappoint everyone. Thanks to his precise shooting, the Chinese team still retained the hope of winning.But Jaskovicius showed his strength as Lithuania's leading star at this time, breaking through for two consecutive rounds and causing damage, forcing Yi Jianlian to rest and replace him with Wang Zhizhi whose physical strength has not yet recovered.

If Yao Ming were to be the head coach, he might choose to replace Du Feng at the fourth position. First, Du Feng was also a power forward in the Guangdong team. Secondly, he could help his teammates open up space on the court.If it doesn't work, you can play a big and a small team around Yao Ming, or just play all small lineups, maybe there will be miraculous effects.But now it is Yunus who is in charge of the commander-in-chief, and it is difficult for him to make such a decision.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Lithuania, the Chinese men's basketball team has been struggling to support it by relying on Yao Ming's scoring, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that they can't last long.It can be said that the current Chinese men's basketball team is playing just like they did before this Olympic Games. The whole team relies on Yao Ming to score points alone, and other players, except for a few shots occasionally, act as spectators most of the time.

But everyone has to admit that Yao Ming is already a top insider in the international arena. Relying on his performance on both offensive and defensive ends, the Chinese team was only 11 points behind at the end of the third quarter, which is unbelievable.To a certain extent, Yao Ming played alone against the Lithuanian team in these 10 minutes. He can already be proud of scoring such a score.

The 11-point gap rekindled the flames of the Chinese men's basketball team. As soon as the last quarter came up, they played a wave of 8-0 spurts.However, Lithuania doesn't want to leave suspense for the outcome of the game anymore. This time it was Kleiza who killed the Chinese team. It's really hard for him to have such good physical strength at this time, and he can run beyond the three-point line with precision Hit a three-pointer.

Kleiza scored two three-pointers and directly inquired about the offensive momentum of the Chinese team. Since then, the Chinese team has never narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points.Whenever they are about to start, the Lithuanian players will always hit a three-pointer from the outside to put their inner flames back on.The final point difference between the two sides was 5 points. The Chinese team lost to Lithuania 75 to 80 in the crucial semi-final, and was unfortunately blocked in front of the men's basketball final.

When the number on the timer returned to zero, every player in the Chinese men's basketball team cried. They thought they could go further, but they didn't expect to stop at this place.Although there is still hope to get a bronze medal, but lost the opportunity to stand on the highest stage, which is very difficult for everyone to accept, but when they were about to leave, the fans in the stands still dedicated to them Applause, this is an affirmation to them, no matter what, the Chinese men's basketball team has created its own history in the Olympics.Yao Ming stopped and bowed to the fans with other teammates, thanking them for their support to the team.

Seeing them all with red eyes, Chang Wei smiled helplessly. It seems that he still failed to help the team reach the end!
