beep!

As the referee blows his whistle.

The starting players of both sides appear.

The game begins.

Dayao easily won the jump ball and patted the basketball into Liu Wei's hands.

The defensive characteristics of European players are fierce and flexible, just like dog skin plaster.

When playing against the Croatian team, Liu Wei was sanctioned once by this fierce defensive style at the beginning.

This time he became cautious and passed the ball to Jiang Chen...

Jiang Chen passed a high lob to Dayao's hands.

Although he doesn't have the passing skills of Kuroko or Akashi, he can still do this simple pass...

Yunas' opening plan was very clear, which was to focus on Dayao's advantages and attack the Lithuanian team's penalty area frantically.

But it was obvious that the Lithuanian team was well prepared and quickly stepped forward to attack Dayao with high-intensity defense.

However, Dayao was not afraid. He turned around and faced the two people's jumping defense and gently pushed the basketball away.

Whoosh!

Hollow into the net.

The fans at the scene cheered loudly, Yao's opening goal was really tough.

The Lithuanian team counterattacked and directly used a unique tactic-high pick-and-roll.

At the Athens Olympics four years ago, Lithuania used high-post pick-and-roll tactics and precise three-pointers to overthrow the American Dream Six, which was packed with big names.

Today they still use this traditional tactic.

The three outside players all have the ability to attack with the ball. One of them holds the ball in a high position, and the center player raises it to the high position to cover.

The remaining players are distributed on the outside ready to catch and shoot three-pointers.

The ball handler breaks through the screen.

Perhaps because of Yao's defensive ability in the penalty area, the player did not penetrate very deep and made an emergency stop near the free throw line for a jumper.

Whoosh!

The basketball goes into the basket steadily.

Compared with the Croatian team, the players of the Lithuanian team have better physical fitness, being tall but not slow, and fast but not making mistakes.

Whether it is technology, consciousness, or teamwork, they are all better than the Croatian team.

Especially in breakthrough layups and three-pointers, they are the foundation of Lithuania's success.

The attack just now showed the Lithuanian team's excellent teamwork, sharp breakthroughs, and precise shooting.

As a traditional powerhouse in Europe, the Lithuanian team has participated in 5 Olympic Games and won bronze medals 3 times.

Even if the Chinese team easily defeated the Croatian team, they must not underestimate the Lithuanian team.

Yunus, the head coach of the Chinese team on the sidelines, looked at the attack just now, his brows furrowed tightly, his face full of helplessness.

As a Lithuanian, he knew this tactic very well.

He once wanted to make the Chinese team's tactical system similar to that of the Lithuanian team, but there were two fatal problems.

First, the Chinese team lacks players who can make sharp breakthroughs with the ball.

When Dayao mentioned using the high post for a pick-and-roll, no one in the entire Chinese team could hold the ball and use the pick-and-roll to break into the penalty area.

And the subsequent tactics, the ability to break into the penalty area to shoot or pass, not to mention.

Second, the Chinese team lacks players with stable three-point shooting ability. The team only has two stable three-point shooters, Zhu Fangyu and Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen returned to the national team, Yunas was extremely excited and once regarded Jiang Chen as the best initiator of this tactic.

And the high pick-and-roll between Jiang Chen and Dayao will definitely be invincible in this Olympics.

But...Jiang Chen doesn't have the ability to break through.

This is sad and despairing.

Watching the Lithuanian team use this tactic to dominate the Olympics, I can only feel envious.

The Chinese team attacks.

The Lithuanian coach yelled at the court, signaling the players to change their defensive strategies.

Liu Wei wanted to pass the basketball to Dayao, but he was surprised to find that the Lithuanian players in the penalty area defended Dayao in front of him, completely denying Dayao a chance to catch the ball.

This is the Lithuanian team's tactics against Dayao!

Helpless, Liu Wei could only seize the opportunity and pass the basketball to Yi Jianlian, who made a long-distance jump shot.

Bang!

Blacksmithing.

After grabbing a rebound in the backcourt, the Lithuanian team quickly launched a defensive counterattack, passed a long pass to the player who was about to leave, and shot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Whoosh!

Hollow into the net.

Seeing this scene, the head coach of the Lithuanian team standing on the sidelines raised his lips slightly.

He has completely figured out the Chinese team's offensive style.

Although Jiang Chen has the ability to shoot difficult three-pointers, the Chinese team obviously prefers to attract defenders through Dayao first, and then create opportunities for Jiang Chen to easily shoot three-pointers.

Only when the game is in trouble, Jiang Chen will take the initiative to take over the game and continuously use his super three-point shooting skills to help the team.

Now that Dayao is restricted, Jiang Chen will be forced to start his personal attack mode in advance.

really.

For three or four consecutive rounds, the Chinese team did not score.

It is difficult for Dayao to catch the basketball, which prevents him from fully displaying his strength.

Even if there was room to catch the ball at a certain moment, the basketball could not be passed to his hands at all.

Then he was blocked by Lithuania's restricted area melee.

This made Dayao very frustrated and anxious.

On the outside, Liu Wei and Sun Yue had opportunities to shoot three-pointers, but they didn't feel good and kept hitting shots.

The Lithuanian team used precise cooperation and superb shooting skills to continuously use high pick-and-roll tactics to create three-point shooting opportunities, and maintained a high shooting rate.

In less than 4 minutes, the Lithuanian team launched a 12:2 offensive and gained a 10-point lead.

The scene was quiet.

The fans watched the game in disbelief. They did not expect that the Chinese team would be beaten at the beginning, and they did not even have a chance to resist.

Obviously the Lithuanian team is well prepared for this game.

It seemed that after many games, he was suddenly back to his original form. Yao couldn't catch the ball inside and couldn't make a three-pointer from the outside.

The offense was a mess and there was no defense.

"The Chinese team is in trouble! Both the offensive and defensive ends were defeated by the Lithuanian team."

The on-site commentator Yu Jia said anxiously.

"The tactics deployed by Yunus were completely suppressed by the Lithuanian team, which resulted in the Chinese team's offense losing its backbone."

Yang Yi frowned and said.

"The only thing that can break this predicament now is Jiang Chen's three-pointer."

Yu Jia said, his eyes full of expectation.

Dayao, one of the two core players, has been completely taken care of, so we can only look at the other core player, Jiang Chen.

On the court.

Jiang Chen looked calm and not panicked at all.

He had already expected it. After all, in his previous life, he clearly remembered that the Chinese team met the Lithuanian team in the quarterfinals.

Then the Chinese team lost by nearly 30 points in that game.

On three-pointers, the Chinese team shot 3 of 30 from the field, which is a bit insulting to describe as horrific.

The Lithuanian team made 13 of 31 three-pointers, an astonishingly high shooting rate!

But in this life, this will never happen again!!
Chapter completed!
