Chapter 221 Just Rely on Your Body
The Lithuanian national men's basketball team is a veteran European team.
Since Lithuania became independent again in 1990, it has sent teams to participate in the men's basketball competitions of the four Olympic Games, all of which broke into the semi-finals.
From 1992 to 2000, he won three consecutive bronze medals, and also ranked fourth in the 2004 Olympic Games.
Such an Olympic record is absolutely brilliant, especially compared to the Huaxia team, which has never made it to the semi-finals before, it has a crushing advantage.
The Lithuanian men's basketball team does not have well-known NBA stars like Spain or Germany, but they have talented players in various positions, so they emphasize teamwork more than other European teams.
Playing European basketball that emphasizes teamwork more than any other team.
Speaking of which, the origin of the Lithuanian team and the Huaxia team is still unclear. The current head coach of the Huaxia team, Jonas, is the former coach of the Lithuanian national team, so Jonas is quite familiar with the characteristics of the Lithuanian team's style of play. .
In addition, the only idol in the hearts of the captain of the Huaxia team, Dayao, is also a Lithuanian player - Sabonis, who was once known as the number one center in international basketball.
Now the two teams meet in the Olympic semi-finals, although many people are optimistic that the Lithuanian team will win.
But the Huaxia team has made it all the way, surpassing the strong teams repeatedly, and has already become the biggest dark horse in the men's basketball program of this Olympic Games. Easy to win, so this is destined to be a very exciting game.
Lithuania's starting lineup is as follows:
The point guard is Sarunas Jascovicius, who joined the Pacers in 2005 and is known as the "European King".
The shooting guard is Coconas, with good defensive ability,
The small forward is Ramnath Siskauskas, who is known as the "No. [-] small forward in Europe",
Power forward Lavrinovic and center Gavtokas.
According to Zhang's guidance, the Lithuanian team should have put power forward Kleiza, who played for the Denver Nuggets, in the starting lineup.
But in that case, the team will really be completely crushed by the Huaxia team in terms of height.
That's why Lavrinovic was put in the starting lineup to improve the overall altitude of the team.
But even so, the Lithuanian team is still at a disadvantage in terms of height.
The Huaxia team's starting point guard, Sun Dasheng, is 2 meters tall, and Jaskovicius, who is facing him, is only 05 meters tall.
Shooting guard Ye Hao is 2 meters tall, and Lithuanian shooting guard Kokonas is only 03 meters tall.
Small forward Zhu Fangyu is 2 meters tall, Siskauskas is 01 meters tall,
大前锋阿联身高2米13,大姚身高2米26,而立陶宛队的拉夫里诺维奇和加夫托卡斯都是2米10的身高。
The Huaxia team's height advantage is very obvious, but basketball is not just about height.
If it is just a comparison of height, as long as the national team this year excludes this height, it may be the gold medalist directly, and the US team does not have this height configuration.
Basketball is a comprehensive sport. In addition to height, physical fitness, speed, skills, etc. are all important.
The starting players of the two teams have already appeared on the stage. After the national anthem was played, the game officially began.
Dayao and Gavtokas jumped the ball, and Dayao picked the ball to Dasheng.
The Great Sage dribbled the ball forward, and Jaskovicius stuck it up to defend.
After dribbling the ball under the crotch, the Great Sage passed the ball with his head and gave the ball to Ye Hao who was standing high on the left.
Ye Hao took the ball and leaned against Coconas, without making too many fake moves, just turned over and shot a jumper.
This is to take advantage of the height advantage.
And after Ye Hao jumped up, the jumping height was much higher than that of Corkonas,
And the wingspan is far better than that of Coconas.
Then, everything will be a matter of course, and it is easy to hollow into the net.
Director Zhang said with a smile: "Ye Hao just played without pressure, and used his physical advantage to forcibly eat his opponent."
Yang Yi said: "Although Kokonas' defense is a bit fierce, he and Ye Hao are 11 centimeters apart in height. When Ye Hao made a fadeaway jump shot, he couldn't block it at all.
Moreover, Ye Hao's physical strength is not as slender and slender as he looks on the outside, it's all an illusion, he was born fighting in the NBA.
Just look at the games he played in the NBA. In almost every game, he has a wonderful moment of rushing into the opponent's penalty area, confronting the opponent's inside meat shield, and then scoring the ball.
In terms of physical strength alone, I'm afraid Corkonas is no match for Ye Hao. "
Director Zhang nodded and said: "That's right, so at the position of shooting guard, we definitely have a crushing absolute advantage." After a pause, he continued: "A player who can win the NBA scoring champion is really invincible." A few of them are dishes, and they are all amazing!"
Looking back, the Lithuanian team attacked, and Jaskovicius advanced with the ball. After halftime, he handed the ball to Lavrinovic in the high position on the right. Lavrinovic made a jump shot after receiving the ball. Under the defensive interference, the iron was struck.
Dayao grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Dasheng.
The Great Sage dribbled the ball across the half, raised his hand and handed the ball to Ye Hao on the left flank. After holding the ball, Ye Hao attracted the Lithuanian team to double-team.
Coconas suffered a loss just now, and this time he did not dare to continue to defend alone. Siskauskas attacked Ye Hao from the side.
Ye Hao did not choose to play by himself, but hoisted the ball to the basket and handed it to Dayao.
Dayao received the ball, turned around to the basket, and sent the ball into the basket with a small hook.
Gavtokas chose to go around the front to defend Yao, but Ye Hao's pass was directly thrown in, and Yao could attack directly as soon as he got the ball.
The Huaxia team started 4-0.
The Lithuanian team attacked, and after Jaskovicius dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he directly hit the inside of the Huaxia team.
He used fake moves and rhythm to pass Dasheng, broke through, and scored a jumper in front of Zhu Fangyu's supplementary defense.
"Actually, Jax Weiss went to high school and college in the United States. After that, he didn't participate in the NBA draft and went directly to Europe to develop, so his style of play is still quite American-style individual basketball." Yang Yi said.
Director Zhang nodded, "He dares to attack and fight. Although he didn't make a name for himself in the NBA, he is still very popular in Europe."
The Huaxia team attacked, and Ye Hao was holding the ball at the top of the arc. Kokonas almost pressed his whole body on Ye Hao's body, with the other hand still wrapped around Ye Hao's waist, and at the same time reached out to grab the basketball in Ye Hao's hand.
"This kind of defense is very rough."
"The referee should call him a foul!"
"That's right, this is a small move."
The fans at the scene could see clearly and were quite angry.
Immediately, instead of anger, they turned into cheers.
Because Ye Hao followed the movement of Coconas, raised his hand to lean against Coconas' body, and threw the ball towards the basket.
Really throw it away,
Then it hit the board.
The referee also gave Coconas a foul penalty.
Ye Hao stood on the free throw line, and amidst the shouts of "MVP" from the audience, he made the free throw steadily.
"This is called stealing chickens without losing money!"
"Yes, we should fight like this, let the Lithuanians see how powerful we are!"
"Well, the addition of Ye Hao alone this year has really transformed our team. He played really well!"
Turning back, Gav Tokas pulled out to set a screen for Jax Weisius and set him up for a jumper.
The Lithuanian team continued to bite the score.
Although the Huaxia team relied on Ye Hao and Dayao's consecutive scoring to take the lead, the Lithuanian team is not a food delivery team like Angola after all, and their strength is still very strong.
Since then, the scores of the two teams have climbed each other.
After playing most of the first quarter, the Huaxia team only led the Lithuanian team by 1 point.
After that, the Lithuanian team replaced Kleiza on the field, replacing Kokonas. This was to put Kleiza at the top of the small forward position and move Siskauskas to the shooting guard.
This is because the coach of the Lithuanian team found that Kokonas was bullied to death by Ye Hao on the field, and did not play much defensive role on the defensive end, but was blown away by Ye Hao.
It was necessary to make adjustments.
After Kleiza came on the field, he made a contribution immediately. He scored a three-pointer from the outside to help the Lithuanian team overtake the score.
"Kleiza's three-point shooting ability is quite good, and he is an inside player who can shoot three-pointers." Yang Yi said, "Kleiza was selected as the 2005th pick in the first round of the 27 NBA draft. Drafted by the Orioles and then traded to the Nuggets. Played in the NBA for three seasons, and his numbers have improved every season."
Director Zhang then said: "In the past 2007-2008 season, he scored a career-high 41 points in the game against the Jazz. In that game, he made 21 of 13 shots, which is especially worthwhile. It is worth mentioning that he made 8 of 4 three-pointers and hit 50% of his three-pointers, even surpassing the golden double guns."
The Huaxia team sent out the ball, and the Great Sage took the half court, and it was still handed over to Ye Hao to play.
Having played so many games together, now the teammates habitually look for Ye Hao's position first on the field.
This is why he completely conquered his teammates with his performance on and off the court and became a recognized team leader.
It was different in the beginning.
At that time, apart from Yao, Dazhi and other prestigious team seniors, the young players had never convinced anyone.
Who is not a basketball genius?
Who is worse than whom?
Sun Dasheng still has a championship ring in his hand, so he can say that he is a champion player.
Ah Lian's draft pick is even higher than Ye Hao's.
There is something to be proud of and confident about.
Until the day-to-day training and the game after game, Ye Hao became the core backbone of this team.
Stand side by side with Dayao.
The basketball court is a place that only depends on personal strength and performance, and any sneaky, slippery, and sycophants are useless.
Showcases without strength can be seen through at a glance and blown up.
With the ball in hand, Ye Hao faced Siskoskas, who jumped up to defend him,
Huh~ Europe's No. [-] small forward,
pick!
Head to head!
Quickly dribble the ball under the crotch, then feint to the left, then pull it back sharply, change direction, and break through.
It seems that it is not difficult to break through the number one small forward in Europe.
Ye Hao dodged Siskoskas and rushed in.
Kleiza slid sideways to cover.
But he seems to come to do more background.
Ye Hao stopped abruptly in front of him, made a fallback jump shot, and made another solid mid-range shot.
Looking back, the Lithuanian team relied on Lavrinovic's low jumper on the left to return the ball.
The Lithuanian team continued to maintain the lead.
Dasheng dribbled the ball straight to the frontcourt, broke in and missed a layup.
The Lithuanian team protected the backboard and launched a fast break counterattack.
However, the Huaxia team's return to defense was not slow, and they did not allow the opponent to complete the fast break.
The Lithuanian team had to hit the ball outside and give it to Jaskovicius, who then organized the team's offense.
Jaskovicius called a screen, dribbled the ball in, faked a real pass, released the ball, and gave it to Kleiza, who had already ambushed on the outside, and Kleiza scored another three-pointer.
After the goal, Kleiza was really excited, waving his arms and roaring again and again, as if he was the savior of the Lithuanian team.
Jonas called for a timeout.
The difference of 5 points is the biggest difference between the two sides since the start of the game.
Back from the timeout, Ye Hao broke through and passed the ball to Dayao who was under the basket. Dayao turned around and made a strong dunk.
Lithuania continued to maintain the point difference by relying on Jaskovicius' mid-range jumper to score.
Ye Hao controls the ball. At the top of the arc, Dayao wants to come out to cover for him.
But Ye Hao waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, so he continued to go to the basket to get stuck.
Siskoskas raised his hands in defense.
Ye Hao dribbled the ball and leaned against him, then quickly turned around, and smacked into the basket against Siskoskas.
Followed by a pull-up jumper shot and returned.
The No. [-] small forward in Europe was beaten by Ye Hao again.
This made Siskoskas super depressed.
In the next round, he took the initiative to ask for the ball, singled out Ye Hao, and wanted to get one back.
It's just that he dribbled the ball and made a fake move. When he wanted to force Ye Hao to the left, the ball was shot off by Ye Hao.
As long as the ball is stolen, Ye Hao's signature fast break will definitely be played.
No one in the Lithuanian team can catch up with him.
Chase behind him and watch him finish the fast break with an easy layup.
Ye Hao kept chasing points. By the end of the first quarter, the Lithuanian team was only 2 points ahead of the Huaxia team.
Although the Huaxia team was behind, this did not make the Huaxia fans feel depressed at all. Instead, it made them feel very hopeful to win.
This is not at all what the experts predicted, saying that the overall strength of the Lithuanian team is much better than that of the Huaxia team.
The performance of the Huaxia team shows that they can compete with the Lithuanian team.
Moreover, according to the previous game situation of the Huaxia team, it was concluded that if the Huaxia team could hold the score in the first quarter, it seemed that they all won in the end.
Then this match should be won too.
"We will definitely be able to get the score back in the next quarter!"
"That is inevitable!"
"As long as Ye Hao shoots a few more three-pointers, it won't matter..."
