Chapter 859 Reaching the Top 4!
·
Zhuan Zhu
The Chinese men's basketball team's lineup remains unchanged, with point guard Sun Dasheng, shooting guard Chen Yan, small forward Zhu Ba, power forward A Lian, and center Dayao.
Lithuania's starting lineup: Karnetis, Kaukenas, Kleiza, Darius Sangela, Vasilanyunas.
Lithuania The number one star of this Lithuanian team before this year was undoubtedly Kleiza.
At the center position, there is Vasilanyunas, the No. 2011 pick in 5.
However, as many famous players such as Jaskovicius are getting older, the team is facing the problem of replacing the old with the new.
The Chinese men's basketball team was full of confidence from preparation to warm-up, until the leader conducted a pre-match mobilization before the start of the game.
"Boys, today's game is very important. Hundreds of millions of Chinese fans are watching. You are not fighting alone in this game, nor are you fighting as a team. You represent tens of millions of Chinese fans! Don’t be pressured, we have to show hard work, give full play to our advantages, and display our characteristics! Victory is waiting for us, come on! I wish you a good result!”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the locker room became not very good.
Originally, there was not much pressure on the Chinese men's basketball team, but with the support of this leader's words, the pressure suddenly increased dramatically.
"Brother Yan, this guy is here to put pressure on me."
Xiao Guo leaned next to Chen Yan and said.
At this time, Xiao Guo was still a young general and spoke unabashedly.
However, he also told Chen Yan what he was thinking, and Chen Yan replied: "Here to cause trouble."
After the leader gave a long speech, the locker room was completely silent.
After the leader left, Yunus hurriedly gave a real mobilization speech, but the effect was average.
Chen Yan was really speechless. If this guy comes to mobilize before every game, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty for the Chinese men's basketball team.
The game starts soon.
The Arab League won the jump ball and the Chinese men's basketball team got the first opportunity to attack.
The Chinese men's basketball team played a team game as soon as they came up.
After Sun Dasheng passed half the game, Chen Yan rushed over and made a fake handoff.
After seeing Chen Yan attracting the defensive attention, Sun Dasheng decisively accelerated and rushed in.
Recently around Chen Yan, he used this trick very well.
This move has no technical content and is nothing more than a test of the player's ability to discern opportunities. This is no problem for Sun Dasheng.
Sun Dasheng rushed inside, and Dayao and Ah Lian both pulled out to create space for him.
Sun Dasheng did not come on his own, and his confidence was still slightly insufficient in terms of personal attack.
In the national team, this kind of thing is usually done by Chen Yan, and Sun Dasheng has only two tasks, ball control and defense.
Looking back, Sun Dasheng passed to Dayao at the free throw line.
Dayao didn't dribble and shot directly from mid-range.
Vasilanyunas' interference with him is limited. After all, Dayao's height is too exaggerated. Basically no one can block him from the front when he shoots.
"Shh!"
Hit it!
Dayao clenched his fist and returned to the defensive half.
The Chinese are particular about getting off to a good start. Hitting the first shot on the first shot is a good sign for the team.
The momentum of the Chinese men's basketball team has increased a lot.
Lithuania men's basketball team attack.
Karnetis used the screen to split the ball to Vasilanyunas.
Vasilanyunas got the ball and then distributed it to Kleiza.
Kleiza cut in from the support position, but Zhu 8 failed to follow up. This cooperation with Lithuania was very good.
Just when Kleiza was about to dunk, Sun Dasheng fell from the sky, flew and fanned the ball out.
"Beautiful! Cover him!" Zhang Lili got excited.
Yu Jia on the side was also excited: "Kleiza got rid of Zhu Ba but ignored Sun Yue, and was severely punished. He may not know that this is what Sun Yue did on the court!"
The ball was controlled by Arab League.
Arab League protected the ball first, and then handed the ball to Chen Yan after confirming it was safe.
Just after Chen Yan passed halftime, Kaukenas' defense came up.
Chen Yan made a crotch move, and while protecting the ball, he hit Kaukenas with his right elbow.
These are all details. Chen Yan's protection of the ball is almost perfect.
Kaukenas still wanted to adjust his pace and reached out to steal the ball. Chen Yan had already turned his back and handed the ball to his right hand.
The two were separated by one body, and Kaukenas thought it was a safe distance, but he didn't expect Chen Yan's speed to be so exaggerated!
Chen Yan concentrated on accelerating and directly broke through Kaukenas' defense.
Lithuania's formation was in chaos, and both inside lines made up for it.
Chen Yan made a three-step layup!
But the last one was a bit crooked.
When Dayao's figure jumped up, everyone reacted.
This is a fucking alley-oop!
"boom!"
4 is better than 0!
Dayao beat his chest and stamped his feet!
Dayao looked full of fighting spirit as soon as he came up tonight!
Lithuanian men's basketball offensive possession.
Kreza was in a position to get the ball, and after receiving the ball, he hit the back continuously.
Chen Yan personally defended!
This was Chen Yan's initiative. He knew that Lithuania's outside attack mainly relied on Kleiza. If he could lock him down, the Chinese men's basketball team would basically be able to advance.
Kleiza turned around and shot a jump shot after a series of back-ups.
This is not what he is good at, the basketball bounces out of the frame.
The Chinese men's basketball team played run-and-gun.
After Chen Yan got the ball, he drove straight in, 6-0.
"pause!"
The Lithuanian men's basketball team called this timeout very decisively.
Their coaching staff watched a lot of game videos and knew that a timeout must be called in this situation. The Chinese men's basketball team started very quickly.
The Chinese men's basketball team severely suppressed the Lithuanian men's basketball team in the first quarter and took a 27-16 lead.
Kleiza was 3 for 0 and only scored 2 points on free throws.
Chen Yan's restrictions on him were also quite successful.
However, the game did not go as smoothly as the first quarter.
Kleiza was guarded to death, and the Lithuanian men's basketball team immediately adjusted its tactics.
Two defenders, Karnetis and Kaukenas, stepped up in the second quarter.
Chen Yan has no skills at all. It is impossible to guard whoever makes the shot in the next round.
Arab Lian was anxious. He got two fouls in this quarter and went to rest early.
Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team used the firepower of Chen Yan and Dayao to still maintain the lead.
At halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team led 47 to 42 by 5 points.
At the beginning of the second half, Arab League got another foul.
In order to protect him, Yunus had to let him off the field to rest again.
The Lithuanian men's basketball team's defensive strategy against the Chinese men's basketball team has also changed, resolutely double-teaming Chen Yan + going around to defend Dayao.
This strategy achieved certain results, and the Lithuanian men's basketball team once evened the point difference.
The substitutes of the Chinese men's basketball team are sweating. They feel the experience and tenacity of the traditional European teams!
They also understood why the US men's basketball team almost lost to such an opponent in the group stage.
The game was in a stalemate for a while.
Chen Yan relies on his strong personal ability to continuously enter the inside and cause damage!
His goal is clear, which is to use free throws to open up the situation.
Relying on Chen Yan's consecutive free throws, the Chinese men's basketball team entered the fourth quarter with a slight advantage of 3 points.
In the final quarter, the Lithuanians had a physical advantage.
The Chinese men's basketball team played very hard in this quarter. The Arab League received its fourth foul at 7 minutes and 12 seconds, which made the Chinese men's basketball team's situation even worse.
Dazhi's offensive power is no worse than that of Arab League, but his defense is quite weak and has always been a breakthrough point for his opponents.
Dayao also committed three fouls and did not dare to take action easily.
The Lithuanian men's basketball team used the attack inside to overtake the score!
At the critical moment, Chen Yan and Dayao continued to play pick-and-roll cooperation, and the two used mid-range shots to overtake the score again.
The fans cheered and sighed, it was Chen Yan and Dayao who were harmed!
The two sides fought fiercely until the last 1 minute and 17 seconds, with the score tied at 94.
Lithuanian men's basketball rights.
This round is crucial, Kleiza uses the screen to catch the ball and cut!
Chen Yan bypassed the cover and prepared to complete the sniper attack in the air.
Kleiza panicked, pulled the lever, and the basketball bounced out!
"Prevent it!!"
"Nice defense!"
The two commentators on cctv5 shouted excitedly!
After Chen Yan got the ball, he dribbled across half court.
The Lithuanian men's basketball team quickly double-teamed!
They didn't care how many minutes were left in the game, anyway, Chen Yan would double-team and slap the ball when he got the ball!
Chen Yan moves the ball very quickly!
After passing the ball, start running.
This is what makes the Lithuanian men's basketball team most uncomfortable.
Because this style of play is difficult to limit.
Dayao stepped forward to cover Chen Yan!
Chen Yan took advantage of the situation and ran to the bottom line, and Dazhi's cover came again!
At the critical moment, the Chinese men's basketball team is preparing to play a double screen!
Chen Yan used the screen to accelerate toward the right corner.
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan turned around and took action!
This ball is too difficult!
Chen Yan didn't even look at the basket before taking off!
Kleiza and Kaukenas pounced together.
Chen Yan forced the shot against the two of them!
Chen Yan is very confident. He has experienced too many such scenes in his career.
The moment he took action, he lost his balance in the air due to the impact of the two people.
At the same time as the referee's whistle blew, the basketball passed through the net.
The Lithuanian's face showed only despair.
At this time, he scored 3+1.
Everyone understands what it means.
With Chen Yan's 4-point success, the Chinese men's basketball team also defeated the Lithuanian men's basketball team and advanced to the semi-finals!
The fans were very excited and said that the last time the Chinese men's basketball team entered the semi-finals was the last time!
