Chapter 700 You Have to Get Used to Our Strength!

Under the introduction and rendering of Mr. Zhang Heli, the Chinese audience in front of the TV became a little pessimistic about this originally optimistic game.

But for the Chinese audience on the scene, there was no such concern at all.

In the professional circle of Chinese basketball, Lithuania is a very sacred and terrible opponent.

But for the fans, who cares, the strength of the Chinese team is only below the Dream Team!

Except for the Dream Team, no team can break the encirclement of Yesi alone. If you can't break the encirclement of Yesi alone, you can only play ball!

So, what Lithuania is or not, just cheer for the Chinese team!

The atmosphere in the Wukesong Sports Center is quite crazy!

This different understanding of Lithuania by professionals and amateurs is also reflected on the faces of the Chinese players standing on the court.

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Yesi and Sun Yue, Yao Ming's face was full of vigilance and worry at this time.

Looking at the five Lithuanian players standing in front, to be honest, Yao Ming is really a little guilty.

The five players standing in front are almost all his contemporaries. It can be said that they all grew up under the abuse of him!

Although Yao Ming is the top center in the NBA, he is really not impressive in front of these five Lithuanian players.

It's too familiar, really too familiar!

Thinking that he was abused by these people since he was a child, Yao Ming has some psychological shadows in his heart.

Yao Ming's psychological shadow is actually the psychological shadow of Chinese basketball professionals towards Lithuania.

Compared with Yao Ming, the other players on the court, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and Zhou Peng, are not so guilty and worried now.

Especially Zhou Peng, Zhou Peng's expression on his face is even excited now, the kind of extreme excitement of wanting to wrestle with Lithuania!

What Lithuania, I haven't seen it, and the one standing next to me is Brother Ye, the invincible Brother Ye, I am not afraid of anyone!

On the court, Yao Ming looked at the five familiar faces from Lithuania and felt a little guilty. However, when the referee threw the basketball high in his hand, Yao Ming still defeated his old opponent Jafer Tokas.

"Jafer Tokas's jumping ability is amazing!"

"However, Yao Ming is even better at jump balls after losing weight!"

Coach Zhang Heli was very excited. If it was Yao Ming who had not lost weight before, it would be hard to say.

Jafer Tokas was actually a little surprised and unexpected.

In recent years, Yao Ming has been playing after he gained weight. He really misses Yao Ming after he lost weight. For him, Yao Ming after he gained weight is more difficult to deal with. As for Yao Ming after he lost weight, when he faces him, he only has the height advantage. His defensive skills can match all of Yao Ming's offensive skills.

This is also the reason why Yao Ming was quite resistant to losing weight before. Losing weight will make him better in the NBA, but it will reduce his dominance in FIBA.

The rules of basketball are different. Fiba does not have a three-second defense. If the opponent's defense is quite good, then you can only use your height to pull up.

It is precisely because he is too familiar with these Lithuanian players that Yao Ming is so worried.

After Greece made a desperate choice to double-team Yes, Australia followed suit, and Lithuania would definitely make the same choice.

Double-team Yes, Yes will definitely find him, the current top scorer of the Chinese team, as soon as the ball is found.

But if his offensive efficiency is not high, each attack consumes a lot of physical strength, and there are not many shots in a game, then the Chinese team's offense will really be bad!

It's not that he is so afraid of Lithuania because he has been abused by Lithuania since he was a child.

It's really that Lithuania is really strong.

After the jump ball was successful, Yao Ming walked to the front court with worry, uneasiness and various complicated thoughts.

By his side, his old rival Jafer Tokas has been following him. He is not the kind of inseparable follower. Jafer Tokas is very particular about his defense. He will not force too hard, but he will also leave enough space to interfere with Yao Ming.

He does not give Yao Ming the opportunity to break through with the ball, nor does he give Yao Ming the opportunity to shoot easily, let alone the opportunity to go down.

"Jafer Tokas's defensive position and defensive skills are very good!"

"Jafer Tokas' only disadvantage to Yao Ming is his height, but he can also make up for it by evaluating his jumping ability. Jafer Tokas is not a jumping man!"

When Yesi dribbled the ball forward, everyone in the stadium was now looking at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is now the first offensive point of the Chinese team. The two Lithuanian guards in front of Yesi are now waiting for Yesi to cross the half court and then double-team him.

In the case of Lithuania double-teaming Yesi, Yao Ming's success rate is very important.

"Yess crossed the half court with the ball, and the Lithuanian double team came up!"

"Yess didn't choose to pass the ball immediately, but waited for Yao Ming to get a good position!"

"Yess's power confrontation is too good, even in the double team, he can still control the ball steadily!"

Seeing that the two Lithuanian defenders on the court couldn't double team Yess's ball, Lithuania's head coach Butautas frowned on the sidelines.

Yess is indeed completely different from the previous defenders of the Chinese team. This ball control ability is simply a bug!

In addition to the terrifying full-court pressing defense that even Lithuania is afraid of, if Lithuania is not too familiar with Yao Ming, he really has no confidence in defeating the Chinese team.

However...

It doesn't matter if Yes is strong, as long as Yes's score is limited and Yao Ming's offense is controlled, the Chinese team will not have to worry about it.

Double-teaming can limit Yes's score, and Jafer Tokas is enough to control Yao Ming's offense.

Seeing Jafer Tokas always controlling Yao Ming within the defensive range on the court, Butautas was quite satisfied.

He didn't stop Yao Ming from attacking or scoring. Yao Ming can score, but he must not have those simple scores. Yao Ming can score, but it takes a lot of physical strength. A game can only score about 20 points at most, and he even needs to sacrifice his defense to score more than 20 points!

No one in the world can defend Yao Ming alone and limit Yao Ming's score to less than 20 points. He knows this clearly.

"Yao Ming has not yet reached his usual offensive position in previous games!"

"Yao Ming consumed a lot of physical energy when he was positioning himself. Even if he reached a good offensive position, it was not worth the effort!"

"And..."

What Coach Zhang Heli did not say, and would not say, was that although Yao Ming worked very hard, he could feel that Yao Ming had a strong respect for the Lithuanian players from the bottom of his heart.

Such respect would make Yao Ming very cautious in his actions on the court.

Caution is not fear. Caution is good at times, but it is definitely a very bad attribute now.

Which of Yes's passes was not a risky pass?

For Yes's passes, Yao Ming did not need to be so cautious. Just do it. Why think so much!

Why do you have to completely get rid of Jafer Tokas? Why do you have to find the best opportunity? Yes's pass can turn a not-so-good opportunity into a good one!

Even if there are five, six, seven, or eight turnovers in a game, there is no problem as long as you can break the opponent's defense.

However, facing Lithuania, Yao Ming's previous willingness to take risks disappeared, and his style of play became cautious, which was completely contrary to Yes's style of play.

The originally perfect combination now has opposite styles of play in the game, so it is naturally not so perfect.

This is not only seen by Zhang Heli.

The head coach of the Chinese team, Jonas, on the sidelines, also saw it.

In the past few days, he has been giving psychological massages to the team's veterans, especially Yao Ming, but in the end it was proved that Yao Ming was still affected by Lithuania.

"Yes is in trouble now. Yao Ming is blocked and not ready to receive the ball. Yes can't pass the ball!"

Seeing the picture on TV, the players of the Dream Team are really surprised now. This Chinese player in Lithuania is really good.

Although it may not be possible to defend Yao Ming, it takes considerable skill to make Yao Ming afraid.

"Yes will not be able to enter the finals?!"

Howard's words made the American players around him who were originally surprised by Lithuania's defense a little embarrassed.

Damn, can you talk!

If Yes doesn't make it to the finals, how can we wash away the shame of these two games?

If they don't score 58 points on Yes, how can they be the protagonist of the world? !

"Is the Chinese team's offense really blocked?"

Coach K frowned as he watched the screens on TV constantly switching between Yao Ming and Yes.

"Yes is dribbling right in front of Yao Ming, facing Yao Ming, and he can't find a chance to pass the ball. This is Yes!"

Howard still looked down on the situation and admired.

At this moment, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through Coach K's mind!

"No, Yes is not looking for Yao!"

What? !

The black-faced Dream Team players were a little startled after Coach K stood up excitedly.

Almost at the same time, Yes, who had been leaning against the two Lithuanian defenders on TV and dribbling right in front of Yao Ming, finally jumped up.

"Yes's signature jump pass!"

"It's not a pass to Yao Ming, it's a pass from behind, who's the target of the pass?!"

"Yi!"

Looking at the trajectory of the basketball flying on TV, the Dream Team players in front of the TV were a little surprised.

"Yes was preparing to pass the ball to Yi from the beginning!"

"Yes didn't turn to pass the ball to Yi when Yao's offense was blocked, but was preparing to pass the ball to Yi from the beginning!"

Coach K's voice was full of shock.

This is of course shocking. Yao Ming is the current scoring leader of the Chinese team and the strongest offensive player. When can the Chinese team be so extravagant that they don't even use him and just give up their top scorer? !

At least after using Yao Ming, they found that Yao Ming was not so useful, so they only used Yi Jianlian!

Seeing that the basketball in the air was not flying towards him, not to mention others, Yao Ming was very surprised!

Originally, Yao Ming was prepared to stand up and catch the ball even if there was no good opportunity.

But...

I didn't expect that Xiao Ye had been looking for Yi Jianlian!

Under the shocked gaze of the whole world, Yi Jianlian jumped high to catch the fast, high and floating basketball, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Jianlian could not feel the eyes of the whole world, but he could feel the shocked eyes of all the audience at the scene, and the suffocation of the moment he received the ball!

Yi Jianlian made himself look calmer, but looking at Lavrinovic who was defending him in front, Yi Jianlian could not calm down anyway!

Now, he wanted to score!

Now, he wanted to dunk!

One step!

Yi Jianlian did not have the caution and hesitation of Yao Ming. After receiving the pass from Yes, he only took one step to break through Lavrinovic who was about to come up to defend!

"So fast!"

Lavrinovic was shocked!

Really shocked!

Passing the ball quickly, receiving the ball quickly, and breaking through faster!

"This footstep, this amplitude, this ball control, and this impact!"

Looking at Yi Jianlian who was already flying in the air at this time, Yao Ming seemed to be unfamiliar with the person flying in the air!

Not only Yao Ming felt that the person flying in the air was a little unfamiliar, but even the Chinese audience on the sidelines and in front of the TV, and even the commentator Zhang Heli, also opened their mouths wide and were stunned!

Bang!

In the shock of the whole world, Yi Jianlian slammed the basketball into the basket!

"Yi's breakthrough is too big and too fast!"

"Lavrinovich can only watch Yi dunk from behind!"

"Yi's attack was not dragged at all!"

"2 to 0! The Chinese team scored first, and Lithuania's defense failed!"

In just the first attack of this game, Barkley directly defined Lithuania's defense!

Because Barkley could clearly feel that in Yi Jianlian's unstoppable attack, he could not see any awe of Lithuania from Yi Jianlian!

He only saw the strong desire to destroy Lithuania!

Kenny Smith, who always liked to sing against Barkley, did not object to what Barkley said this time.

Because, this is the fact.

And the development of the game soon proved Barkley's statement.

"Too slow, Lithuania's defense is too slow!"

"Lithuania's defense has no effect in front of Yes's pass and Yi's breakthrough!"

"Lithuania is good in everything, but it's too slow, and Yi can just catch Lithuania's speed!"

"Yi's progress in this NBA season is too fast!"

On the bench of the Chinese team, as an assistant coach of the Chinese team, Timberwolves Chairman McHale was very satisfied. He has been the tactical core of the Timberwolves for a season. In the Timberwolves, Yi has always been an auxiliary teammate and has almost never attacked like this.

However, this does not mean that Yi does not have such offensive ability!

If he does not have such offensive ability, he cannot be the tactical core of the Timberwolves!

30 to 14!

This is the score at the end of the first quarter.

Looking at the score on the sidelines, Yao Ming's face was full of shock.

Collapse!

In his heart, the almost invincible Lithuania collapsed!

And he was defeated by the Chinese team when he only scored 2 points in the first quarter!

"Why is this happening?"

Yao Ming felt that his worldview had collapsed.

"Brother Yao, you have to learn to get used to the strength of the Chinese team!"

Yao Ming withdrew his shocked eyes from the scoreboard.

At this time, Zhou Peng, who was talking to him, was full of confidence on his face, and the faces of others, whether it was A-Lian, Sun Yue, or Xiao Ye...

Each of them had that kind of unparalleled confidence on their faces!

Brother Yao, you have to learn to get used to the strength of the Chinese team...

We are really strong now...
