Final Four.As long as you enter the semi-finals, you can have a chance to hit the medal, even if it is a bronze medal. Even if there is no medal, the Chinese men's basketball team can be regarded as the best record in history. There are more fights for the top seven.

The Lithuanian national team is one of the most prestigious and successful teams in the history of basketball, participating in the Olympic Games five times and winning the bronze medal three times.Lithuania won two EuroBasket Championships in 1937 and 1939 before World War II.After Lithuania regained its independence in 1990, the Lithuanian national team began its own revival.

But now, Lithuania, the former European king, is in decline.The Lithuanian men's basketball team is not like the Spanish and German teams, which are held at an international level, but they do not lack talented players in various positions. They once perfectly interpreted the European basketball of teamwork.

In the BJ Olympic entry list four years ago, the Lithuanian men's basketball team lacked two generals-Ilgauskas and Masyanska, so the strength of the team was affected to a certain extent.As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what the opponent is, the Lithuanian men's basketball team still continued their previous brilliant record in the Olympic Games and ranked fourth.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is center Li Yifeng, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Sun Yue, shooting guard Wang Shipeng, and point guard Lin Fengzhe.Yao Ming was still placed on the bench, and there was no other way. Wang Zhizhi was injured and could not play. Yao Ming needed to play a bigger role in the bench.

The starting lineup of the Lithuanian men's basketball team is center Jonas Valanciunas, power forward Linas Kleiza, small forward Reinaldas Sebtis, shooting guard Martinas Persieux Adams, point guard Sarunas Jaskovicius.Among them, Sarunas Jaskovicius is a well-known point guard in Lithuania. He once led the Lithuanian team to defeat the famous American "Dream Team" in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Participate in the NBA draft, and he is also the oldest rookie in NBA history.

Li Yifeng won the jump ball in the middle circle without any suspense, and the basketball soon came to Lin Fengzhe's hands.Lin Fengzhe quickly played to the frontcourt.Obviously the Lithuanian team had done some research on the Chinese team before the game.As soon as Lin Fengzhe got beyond the three-point line, Lithuanian point guard Sarunas Jaskovicius came up behind him.

Lin Fengzhe, who did not have a strong attacking ability, controlled the basketball, observed the position of his teammates, and then passed the basketball to Li Yifeng who was stuck inside and asked for a position.After receiving the pass, Li Yifeng dribbled the ball back two steps against Jonas Valanciunas, then turned around and threw the basketball into the basket with one hand, breaking zero for the Chinese team first.

Sarunas Jaskovicius dribbled the ball to the left before breaking through to Linus Kleiza himself.After receiving the ball, Linus Kleiza faced Yi Jianlian's defense, moved laterally with the ball, took a half-step back and shot a jumper, and hit the basketball board.

Then Lin Fengzhe controlled the ball on the right side of the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian mentioned a high position as a cover, Lin Fengzhe took the opportunity to bypass Yi Jianlian's left side.Reinaldas Sebtis came up to defend, and Sun Yue in the bottom corner was vacated.Lin Fengzhe immediately flicked his wrist and passed the basketball to Sun Yue.Sun Yue catches the ball and shoots it. This ball is a two-pointer. When Sun Yue shot just now, the toe of his left foot stepped on the three-point line, so the table can be regarded as a consecutive point. This ball is a pity.

Sun Yue's shot was made steadily. Oh? The ball counted as two points, and Sun Yue's tiptoe Some stepped on the line, and the referee did not misjudge the ball. This is a pity. If you can pay attention to the bottom of your feet before taking the shot, it will be a three-pointer.

Sarunas Jascovisis passed the ball to assist Martinas Perseus's basketball, which was intercepted by Sun Yue who passed midway.After Sun Yue succeeded in stealing, he immediately galloped forward.However, the speed of running with the ball is obviously much slower than running empty-handed, and Sun Yue was quickly caught up.At this time, Lin Fengzhe followed from the other side.So, Sun Yue jumped high while running and threw the basketball to Lin Fengzhe on the other side.Lin Fengzhe speeded up and went straight to the Spanish team's basket, and finally ended the attack with a simple one-handed dunk.The Chinese team played [-]-[-] at the start, leading temporarily.

As soon as he dribbled the ball into the three-pointer, he quickly stopped and retreated.

Due to the sudden stop, the soles of the basketball shoes and the floor made harsh sounds, Lin Fengzhe retreated beyond the three-point line and immediately shot a jumper.Sarunas Jascovicius is a veteran after all, with far more experience than Lin Fengzhe, so Lin Fengzhe did not completely deceive Sarunas Jascovicius.If it weren't for Sarunas Jaskovicius, he would definitely win the game if he wasn't old.
