Chapter 381 Men's basketball spirit, fight to the end

On August 2008, 8, also in this venue, the competition for the bronze medal in the Olympic men's basketball competition will begin soon.

The opponents are the Chinese men's basketball team that has entered the Olympic semi-finals for the first time in history, and the Lithuanian men's basketball team.

Originally, the Huaguo men's basketball team was considered to be the biggest dark horse in the Olympics, and it might even be a black horse. However, with Dayao's injury and absence, and the loss to the Spanish team, it became a fantasy.

Now they are facing the final battle, and they have no choice of retreat.

Amidst the cheers and cheers of the fans, the men's basketball team started aggressively. Under the leadership of Li Chengming, they even played a wave of 13:2. In less than 3 minutes, the Lithuanian team had to A timeout was called.

"The men's basketball team has undergone a change in this game. Li Chengming came to play the main point. The remaining four positions are all shooting spots. As the insiders, Da Zhi and Ah Lian are all in the bottom corner in the battle. Shooting the ball. Li Chengming actually hit a sudden score..."

This familiar sense of déjà vu made a name come out of their mouths.

In the live broadcast of TNT in the United States, Barkley smiled without hesitation: "LI is really an amazing person. He plays like Michael and Kobe in the low post and mid-range, and his size is a bit like a shrunken version of sand Ke, now he can break through like LeBron..."

In fact, there is one more thing that I didn’t say, that is the "hot-blooded big jumper" in the earliest days.

But now no one would associate Li Chengming with Garnett, and Li Chengming himself rarely used this buff.

But today he used it again, not mainly for gaining laziness, but to boost morale in this way.

Not to mention, if you look at it from the opposite side, you may feel confused, but as a teammate, you will be infected instead.

So Mr. Kevin also has a way, he has already been on the fifth floor.

Lithuania has performed well in the past few years, whether it is in the European Championships, World Championships or the Olympics. In the last Athens Olympics, they entered the semi-finals, but eventually lost to the US team and lost the bronze medal.

In this semi-finals match, they actually encountered the American team in advance, but they were beaten by the American Mengba again.

In this match against the Huaguo men's basketball team without Dayao, they even seemed to underestimate the enemy a little bit.

How dare they? !

Li Chengming felt a little unbelievable, because before the game, he discussed with Yunus and other coaching staff, but he never thought that the opponent would come up and not flank him.

And when Li Chengming moved out in a hurry and obviously had no tactical preparations, he naturally had a chance.

However, Lithuania’s ability to reach this point is not such a simple role. Their overall coordination is very good, and they also continue the traditional European basketball of pragmatism. They don’t play any bells and whistles, and they honestly play pick-and-rolls and air cuts. , The basic tactics are played very well.

In fact, Lithuania, like the Huaguo men's basketball team at this time, also lacks an insider. Now there are no stars in the team who can support the facade, and it relies more on integrity.

So when encountering a situation like Miguel Dream Eight and Li Chengming who can be broken by a super star, there is no way to deal with it.

Of course, the men's basketball team really couldn't punish them in other points. In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, under the command of coach Butautas, the Lithuanian players kept flanking Li Chengming and continued to force the rotation. Finally, the men's basketball team forced He was in a hurry and made mistakes again and again, so he played a successful counterattack and caught up with the score by a lot.

Dazhi and others played well against the Spanish team in the last game. Today, they were a bit dumb. Except for the two three-pointers at the beginning, they missed the rest of the outside shots.

Fortunately, the enthusiasm on the defensive end is still there, and Lithuania's outside shots in this field are also inaccurate. The two sides fought a period of black-and-white iron fights, which even continued until 2 minutes into the second quarter. The fast break breaks the scoring shortage.

Since then, Lithuania has gradually eroded the score, and before halftime, it caught up to a 42-level tie.

In the last 7 seconds, Li Chengming used the cover to quickly move to the frontcourt, and made a direct shot two steps outside the three-point line——

brush!
"what--"

This time, Li Chengming was very confident in his shot, but when the ball went in, he immediately turned around and clenched his fists, his expression was a bit ferocious and determined. It was captured by the camera, and it was destined to become a classic scene of the Olympic men's basketball team.

At the same time, Dayao, who stood up on the bench, also punched immediately, looking very excited.

Not to mention the commentator and the fans, I felt depressed throughout the second quarter, and at this time I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"At the critical moment, it was Li Chengming who stood up again. This three-pointer at the buzzer is worth a thousand dollars! The men's basketball team ended the half with a three-pointer lead. In the first half, Li Chengming played for 17 minutes without much rest. He has scored 14 Points and 8 assists. Others must be able to stand up in the second half, especially outside shooting, only 15 of 4 three-pointers in the first half..."

A 3-point lead at halftime is of course not safe for the men's basketball team.

Especially when playing against a typical strong European team like Lithuania, the consumption of the confrontation is very serious, and the locker room is full of gasps during the intermission.

In fact, this is not just this game, but after the entire tight schedule in the past, they have not fully recovered to their original state in every game.

Especially in the group stage, I felt a bit overdrawn, and in the knockout stage, I played with perseverance.

This may also be one of the reasons why Dayao's injury relapsed. Being too excited may not be a good thing.

"..." Seeing this situation, Yunus didn't say much in the end.

He felt that at this point, he didn't need to say more. Although we were tired, everyone's eyes were firm, and everyone's dedication to victory could be seen in everyone's eyes.

Let them not think about anything now, rest as much as possible, and regain their strength.

"The second half of the game has begun. Lithuania's first wave of offense - ball conversion, Li Chengming completed the steal!"

"Good shot, Li Chengming hit an empty basket without hesitation in a split dunk with both hands hanging on the basket..."

The stadium suddenly boiled again, and even the deafening cheers could be heard clearly outside, and on the TV, it directly became the background sound.

Of course, I don't know how many people in front of the TV got excited together.

However, Li Chengming's attack this time seems to have only played out his own momentum. The physical crisis of the men's basketball team came ahead of schedule. The offense was short and the defense could not keep up. Lithuania seized the opportunity to play a 10:4, directly Go-ahead score.

Yunus decisively called a timeout. This time is not only to let everyone wake up, but also to give them some time to catch their breath.

Whether it is physical exhaustion or psychological pressure, you need this opportunity to relieve yourself.

"How?" Yunas was most concerned about Li Chengming, of course.

At this time, Li Chengming was sweating profusely, and it seemed like a century in 3 minutes. It was too embarrassing for him to fight with so many opponents at the basket.

But no matter how difficult it was, there was nothing he could do. At this time, he rolled his eyes and felt that no one could stand up and help him at this time.

But it doesn't matter, if you have a disadvantage, you can fight back by yourself, and then give your teammates a chance when you have an advantage. Li Chengming also knows that it is not enough for him to be alone. He can support the bottom line, but his teammates also need to get back to their status.

"I'm OK!"

"Okay, let's go."

"Back to the game... The men's basketball team is exhausted too much. It can be seen that the physical strength is not enough, including Li Chengming..." Now the commentator is also anxious, but at this time, it is no longer possible to make a plan and make a difference that's it.

And soon Li Chengming made consecutive mid-range shots to stabilize the situation. Although the teammates were helpless on the offensive end at this time, they were desperate on the defensive end. .

Although this action makes the commentary unable to speak, it can still talk about the spirit.

What's more, the two sides are actually evenly matched. Li Chengming was pushed to the ground several times, but he immediately got up and fought again.

This scene also made the fans extremely moved, as if they were not watching a ball game, but witnessing a battle in a peaceful era.

Of course, the tragedy on the basketball court is still slightly inferior to that of football, but the men's basketball team also gritted its teeth to support it when its physical condition was not as good as that of its opponents.

"The three quarters are over, and the men's basketball team is behind by 5 points..."

李成名虽然打满了第三节，并且8投5中拿到了12分2助攻，但这一节男篮还是净输8分。

And Li Chengming did not surprise most people, choosing to stay on the court in the fourth quarter.

Those who are more emotional or have a lower tear point, at this time tears are already in their eyes.

Director Zhang couldn't help saying emotionally: "Although Li Chengming looks young and doesn't seem to be as reliable as Dayao, he is not bad at all. He has become the most solid backing of the men's basketball team. Even if this game is lost, He's a winner too!"

The commentators can see that the men's basketball team is at the end of its battle, and it is difficult for Li Chengming to change the result by himself.

But Li Chengming himself did not give up, and even took advantage of Lithuania's normal rotation to catch his opponent by surprise.

Maybe they think that a 5-point lead is enough, especially the Huaguo men's basketball team seems to be on the verge of physical strength one by one, but they are a little relaxed.

To put it bluntly, they still don't think much of the men's basketball team up to now. At most, it was Li Chengming who defeated them, not the men's basketball team.

Can one person win the game?
Of course not, but Li Chengming could equalize the score.

"Li Chengming turned over and hit a jumper again in the face of Marciuskas, and there was an additional penalty!"

"The men's basketball team has already tied the score. If Li Chengming hits another free throw this time, they will overtake!!!"

The fans in the arena have all stood up one by one, even if there are more than 6 minutes before the end of the game at this time, they have to stand (fight) with the men's basketball team until the last second.

It's a pity that Li Chengming didn't make a free throw this time. He forgot to wipe off his sweat, his eyelids were shaken by the sweat, and his hands shook as a result.

however--

"Big Zhi grabbed the offensive rebound, and the men's basketball team has a second chance to attack! The pass was sent to Ah Lian, and Ah Lian transferred it to Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu made a three-pointer—is there any?"
