The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 138 Three Points at the Buzzer (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass)

9 to 6, the opening rhythm is not fast, the Lithuanian team is 10 of 5, after this three-pointer, their shooting rate is 50%, while the Chinese team is only 8 of 3, 37.5%.

"Siskauskas made 53.3% of his three-pointers. The Chinese team can no longer give the opponent this kind of three-pointer chance." Yu Jia said.

This time Liu Wei hit Zhu Fangyu, and No. 13 Jasicovius defended him. Yao Ming did not go to the high position to open up space for him. Lithuania's center No. 15 Giavtokas went to double-team.

Since Zhu Fangyu was playing from the back, he didn't see Giav Tokas who was double-teaming him. When he turned around and was about to make a shot, he was blocked by Giav Tokas who was defending.

"Oh, Zhu Fangyu was careless in this ball, he thought the opponent would let him play singles." Zhang Weiping said.

"In terms of physical confrontation, Lithuania played very tough." Yu Jia said.

The Lithuanian team got the ball and pushed back and passed the ball three times in a row. The tactical movement allowed them to get an open three-point shot, and Jasicovius made a three-point shot.

By the time Sun Yue went to make up the defense, the ball had already been thrown.

Hit again.

The Lithuanian team stopped the Chinese team with two consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference came to 6 points.

"The Chinese team really needs to pay attention. Just now their defense was too close, which gave the Lithuanian team an open three-pointer. They need to avoid this situation." Yu Jia said.

Yunus felt something was wrong, so he chose to pause. The Lithuanian team played calmly, looking for opportunities every time they attacked.

At the beginning, the Chinese team was marking, so he chose to play under the basket.

After that, he used the Chinese team's offensive style of play to score consecutive fast breaks.

Now that the Chinese team's defense speed has increased, the defensive formation has shrunk too much, and they began to shoot from the outside.

After analyzing it, Lin Yue had to admire the quality of the Lithuanian team. This kind of European team that pays attention to the team is really difficult to play.

And the Lithuanian team is a leader in teamwork. Their lineup is all players who have participated in the previous World Championships, and their familiarity is not low. It will be difficult to play this time.

Yunus is drawing tactics on the tactical board. He does not plan to change the lineup for the time being. This is the first quarter, so let's observe first.

Back on the court, neither the Chinese team nor the Lithuanian team made substitutions.

Liu Wei sent it to Sun Yue, and Sun Yue hoisted it to Yao Ming, who was stuck in the basket.

After the foul, the Lithuanian team replaced Giavtokas, who had just fouled, with Pecolavius.

Pecolavis walked to Yao Ming's side when he came on the court, and now it's him to defend.

Zhu Fangyu came outside the line to serve, and Yao Ming wanted to catch the ball with his back, but Pecolavius ​​didn't give him a chance.

Pecolavis defended around the front and prevented Yao Ming from receiving the ball with his back.

Zhu Fangyu sent it to Yi Jianlian who ran out. Yao Ming ran to the right and wanted to get stuck again. Pecolavius ​​followed.

Yao Ming was dodged by the opponent this time, so Sun Yue had no choice but to re-attack with the ball.

Zhu Fangyu made a false screen and ran from the left three-point line to the right to attract the attention of the defender.

After Sun Yue dribbled once under his crotch, he took the opportunity to dribble to the free throw line and made a mid-range hit against the opponent's defense.

"Good shot, Sun Yue." Zhang Weiping said.

"Pretty." Yu Jia also said.

"Now, the entire defense is expanded, and Sun Yue can play one-on-one, because Sun Yue has height, wingspan, jumping, and his shooting percentage has also increased significantly recently." Seeing Sun Yue scoring a goal, Zhang Weiping looked very happy.

If Sun Yue heard that Zhang Weiping's guidance praised him so much, he would feel embarrassed.

Jassicovius dribbled the ball across the half, and the referee called Yao Ming's foul on the inside and the opponent's position.

The Lithuanian fans at the scene cheered for the players in their native language.

Not to be outdone, the Chinese fans were also shouting for support.

Lithuania made a small running tactic. Through the cover, Jasicovius got a good chance for the middle distance from the bottom corner.

However, the shot went out of the frame, and No. 12 Rabrinovic grabbed an offensive rebound.

The Lithuanian team re-launched the attack, but their cross pass was blocked by Sun Yue's move like looking back at the moon. Maybe they didn't expect the person facing them to turn back suddenly.

"Sun Yue made good judgment, and the Chinese team began to counterattack."

Sun Yue dribbled the ball across halftime, and Yao Ming came to a high screen.

Sun Yue passed the ball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming returned it to Sun Yue who was running.

After receiving the ball, Sun Yue chose to attack with the ball. This time, he found Liu Wei who retreated outside the three-point line.

This is an opportunity.

Liu Wei took the ball and shot directly, with a very positive trajectory.

"A good shot, Sun Yue has been active during this time, stepped forward when Yao Ming was targeted, and recovered the point difference for the team."

After this three-pointer hit, the score of the two teams came to 12 to 11, and the Chinese team was only one point behind.

Then the two teams began to attack each other. Although the Chinese team tried many times to overtake the score, the Lithuanian team would respond.

"There is one minute left in the first quarter. It seems that Yunus does not intend to replace Lin Yue in the first quarter." Yu Jia said.

"This is very rare. Lin Yue has played very well in the last few games and has played more game time. Why not replace him in the first quarter, even if he comes up to warm up and find out how he feels." Zhang Weiping said.

"Indeed." Yu Jia agreed.

Lin Yue didn't think too much about it. He just went up to the coach's request, and he sat on the sidelines just to observe the situation.

The Lithuanian team replaced No. 13 Jasicovius. It can be seen from his big beads of sweat that the game was very intense and a real hand-to-hand combat.

Yao Ming was also replaced in the first few minutes, and his playing time still needs to be controlled even if he is injured.

Wang Shipeng received a pass from Liu Wei and hit a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the left, successfully allowing the Chinese team to overtake by one point.

16 to 17, and then successfully defended against an attack by the Lithuanian team.

With 30 seconds left in the first quarter, Liu Wei advanced with the ball.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball back and forth outside the line, and the two pinched the ball without breaking his ball.

I have to admit that Liu Wei's dribbling is really good, and his physical fitness is also good. This kind of point guard is rare for the Chinese team.

It's just that the crowd is focused on his turnovers and offense.

Liu Wei is not an American-style point guard. As a traditional point guard, he has done well enough.

With 5 seconds left in the Chinese team's attack time, Liu Wei gave the ball to Yi Jianlian, who missed a strong hit.

The Lithuanian team launched the last attack in the first quarter. Siskauskas dribbled the ball across halftime, and Sun Yue came to double-team to waste time.

Siskoskas took the screen and took a step forward to make a three-pointer. Just before the end of the first quarter, he hit the buzzer three-pointer.

19 to 17, the Lithuanian team led China by two points in the first quarter.
