Chapter 165 Semifinals
The Huaxia men's three major goals have always been a pain point in everyone's heart.Comparing the results of the women's team, they have nothing to show for it.
But everyone's attention to men's sports is much higher than that of women.In this Olympic Games, the men's volleyball team stopped at the top eight, and after the men's football "lost and shame", everyone's attention is on the men's basketball team.
In fact, they are also worthy of the support and attention of fans and friends across the country.
The news that the Huaxia basketball team entered the Olympic semi-finals was spread by the major sports media in an instant. The popularity of the news rose again and again, and even overwhelmed the reports of many Huaxia Olympic players winning the championship.
The excitement is the excitement, the team does not have any intention of relaxing, on the contrary, it is more active and cautious in preparing for the game than before.
According to the traditional customs, since everyone has come, why not take a few steps forward.
Li Chongxiao didn't know what other people were thinking, but he was willing to dedicate all his strength to push the team to go further.
Of course, he also knew that the next game would not be easy.They will next face Lithuania, No.1 in Group A, who eliminated Greece.
There are strong and weak European teams, but those who can enter the Olympic Games have two brushes, not to mention Lithuania, a traditional strong team,
The Lithuanian team is different from the Croatian team. Their previous record is very good. They have won the European Championship. Before that, they even defeated the US team led by Duncan and Iverson.
In the history of the Olympic Games, their record is very good. Although they only won No.4 in the last Olympic Games, they won the bronze medals in the previous three games. In 2004, they still stepped on the bones of the dream team.
The Lithuanian team's style of play has always been the traditional European practical style of play, with the team's biggest feature being the overall tactical coordination.
Among their players, there is no particularly famous player that Huaxia fans know.Among the various S and Vech, only Kleiza, who has a name different from other teammates, played in the NBA.
But this Nuggets player can't even play the main force in the Lithuanian team.The other players are skilled, cooperative, good at fighting tough battles, and have rich experience in competitions.
Facing such an opponent, only a few blind fans think that the Huaxia team will have another big battle.Most knowledgeable people know that this hard bone is not only difficult to chew, but may even break teeth.
For most fans of the Huaxia basketball team, being able to enter the semi-finals is already very satisfying.As for the possible medals and the like in the future, everyone has lost their minds about gains and losses, and they have not made any demands, and have been promoted to the brilliant state of "winning and losing".
At the beginning of the game, as they expected, the Lithuanian team took the lead.
The core player of the Lithuanian team, the European king Jascovicius made a three-pointer. In the first quarter, he got 5 shots and hit three of them, blowing out Liu Wei.
In addition to this player, several other Lithuanian players also made frequent use of cooperation and scored 3 three-pointers.
In the first quarter of the game, the Lithuanian team relied on 6 three-pointers to lead the Huaxia team by 4 points and entered the second quarter.
……
After entering the semi-finals, Jonas finally understood that for the Huaxia team, the strength gap between the players was too great, and there would be problems if they were forced to combine.
It's okay to play as a whole at ordinary times, but don't think about cooperating at critical moments, just rely on the two superstars to take turns playing singles.
In the first quarter, Yao Ming played hard. The opponent made a targeted defense, played very tough inside, and had a lot of confrontation.
Yao Ming didn't get used to it for a while, and his offensive efficiency was not high. He made 6 of 2 shots and two free throws, and only scored 6 points. The Huaxia team lost the most by 10 points.
Fortunately, the head coach Jonas has excellent adjustment ability. He changed his tactics in time and shifted the focus of offense to Li Chongxiao on the outside.
Li Chongxiao's performance lived up to expectations, with consecutive shots and sudden shots, reducing the score by 6 points.
At the start of the second quarter, Li Chongxiao remained on the court.Seeing that the Lithuanian team's offense could not be contained, he took the initiative to ask Jonas to play the whole game.
What Yunus has a headache is also the problem of offensive firepower, Li Chongxiao's approach is what he wished for.
So Li Chongxiao, as the main force of the team's offense, continued to dominate the team's possession of the ball in the second quarter.
After the opening, he did not blindly play singles, but passed the ball to his teammates several times.Although players like Wang Zhizhi and Tang Zhengdong could not achieve a 100% success rate, they scored all the goals that should be scored.
Driven by him, the team quickly evened the score and overtook by 2 points.
After all, the Lithuanian team has rich experience. They made decisive decisions and strengthened their defense, which immediately stopped the Huaxia team's offense.
Before Yunus came up with a solution, Li Chongxiao started to adjust himself on the field.Since your teammates can't score, then do it yourself.
He made consecutive shots and helped his teammates close the score. When Yao Ming came up, the Huaxia team still maintained a weak lead.
Then Yao Ming gradually got used to the Lithuanian team's defensive rhythm, and his touch began to recover.In this quarter, he made 6 of 4 shots and scored 8 points.
The Huaxia team is on par with the Lithuanian team, and it is still unclear who will win.
……
The second half began quickly. The Huaxia team broke out first. They first strengthened the strength of the defensive end, allowing the Lithuanian team to miss shots for three consecutive rounds.
As for the Huaxia team, Yao Ming and Li Chongxiao each scored a goal and scored a total of 5 points.
The 10-point lead achieved at this node is the largest lead difference for the Huaxia team today.
After establishing this point difference, the Lithuanian team struggled for a long time, but they were unable to narrow the point difference, but they did not allow their opponents to continue to expand the score.
By the start of the fourth quarter, the Huaxia team was still leading by 11 points.
At this time, the Lithuanian team finally couldn't sit still and began to resort to tricks.
First of all, starting from the defense, the full-court pressing tactics caught the Huaxia team by surprise.
Relying on consecutive steals, the Lithuanian team narrowed the score to 7 points.
Then they sacrificed the second magic weapon and shot a three-pointer.Their three-pointers are indeed accurate and belong to a conventional tactic.
In the first three quarters, they took 25 shots and made 11 three-pointers.At this moment there is no difficulty, and there will be difficulties in creating.
Several balls could be shot in the middle, and the players who shot crazy were passed back by the ball, and then shot a three-pointer.
In this round, under the attack wave of 5 three-pointers, the lead of the Huaxia team was only 2 points, and Yunus quickly called a timeout.
He did not conservatively strengthen the defense, but decided to play a counter-offensive tactic, and at the same time Li Chongxiao appeared as a point guard again.
Sitting on superstars like Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming with one outside and one inside, singles can be used as a regular tactic in many cases.
Li Chongxiao personally took care of the 1.9-meter-three European king Jaskovicius, which reduced the opponent's skill by two layers.
Conversely, the Lithuanian team's full-court pressing tactics had no effect on Li Chongxiao at all, and there was no hindrance in ball control and offense.
Since the Lithuanian team wanted to shoot three-pointers, Li Chongxiao satisfied them.The super high shooting percentage he has always maintained continued, all the way to the end of the fourth quarter, he took 8 three-pointers and hit 5 of them.
Coupled with Yao Ming's overwhelming inside, Lithuania still couldn't stand it and lost the game 91:98.
