Chapter 701 Sir, Times Have Changed!

After the first quarter of the match between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team, the final result was really jaw-dropping.

When Yao Ming, the scoring leader of the Chinese team, who averaged 35 points in the previous six games, only scored 2 points, with Yi Jianlian's 16 points in the first quarter and Yes's 6 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds, the Chinese team actually defeated the European powerhouse Lithuania by 16 points in the first quarter!

Losing by 16 points in the first quarter, this is definitely a collapse for Lithuania!

As one of the strongest teams in Europe, even when facing the United States, they did not collapse in the first quarter like this!

But in this game against the Chinese team, Lithuania was really eaten alive by the Chinese team led by Yes and Yi Jianlian right from the start.

After watching the first quarter of the game, Elphinston, the president of the International Basketball Federation in the stands, was shocked. As the president of the International Basketball Federation, he can only describe it as shocked now.

Lithuania has always been a top team in the world basketball world since he started working in basketball, and even one of the strongest teams.

In his conception of the new international basketball order, Lithuania plays a very important role.

But such a team with a very important role collapsed in the first quarter of this world-renowned board final!

He also watched the last game between Spain and the Dream Team. Even in the game between Spain and the Dream Team, Spain persisted for two full quarters!

Lithuania didn't even last the first quarter!

This result is simply shocking!

The whole world was shocked and surprised by the result of the first quarter between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team.

But the most shocked and surprised people were definitely not the audience in China and the world or the President of the International Basketball Federation, Elphinston.

The most surprised people about the result of the first quarter between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team were the professional practitioners in the Chinese basketball industry.

For example, the Chinese coaches and team leaders standing next to Jonas at this time, such as Mr. Zhang Heli sitting in the commentary seat at this time, such as the Chinese basketball celebrities sitting in the CCTV studio at this time.

For example, the veterans of the Chinese men's basketball team sitting on the bench of the Chinese team at this time!

Wang Zhizhi, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Du Feng...

The expression on each of their faces is exactly the same as Yao Ming's on the court before!

For the players of their generation.

Their coaches are the generation guided by Soviet and Lithuanian basketball as idols.

And they themselves are the generation abused by Lithuanian basketball.

In their basketball career, in their basketball world, Lithuania and the so-called Spain, Russia, Argentina and other strong teams are completely different concepts.

That is an idol, that is a longing, that is an existence that is difficult to defeat like a god!

But now, this god, before they have participated, was smashed down by their juniors with one punch!

What an incredible picture is this?

For them, it is really difficult to accept this incredible result!

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team brought a bombshell to the entire basketball world.

And when the second quarter of the game between Lithuania and the Chinese team began.

The Chinese team brought another shock to the world.

Wang Zhizhi, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Du Feng, these are the starting lineups of the Chinese team in the second quarter rotation phase.

On the Lithuanian side, the Nuggets player Kreza led the team during the rotation period,

Skokonas, Lukowskis, S. Petevicius, Yasetis.

There is naturally a gap in strength between the substitute rotation of the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team.

Lithuania has Kreza, who is at the level of the main rotation of the NBA, and the remaining players are also veterans with great reputations in European basketball.

There is a gap, but in fact, from the book, the gap is not that big.

Wang Zhizhi performed very well in this year's Olympics. Whether facing strong teams such as Spain, Germany or Argentina, his performance was very good. His strength can also be rotated in the right NBA team.

And players such as Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and Du Feng are also some of the most influential players in Chinese basketball in recent years. In the previous national team, these people were the absolute main force of the national team!

Even in the world basketball world, they are a group of players who are quite famous.

After all, in the world of basketball, Chinese basketball is also a strong team, and it was in the quarterfinals in the last Olympic Games.

As the main force of a world-class team, their reputation is certainly not small.

In this case, the competition between the Chinese team's rotation and the Lithuanian rotation lineup, even if Lithuania has the advantage, the advantage is limited.

Even Lithuania's head coach Butautas thinks so.

But after the start of the second quarter, the situation of the game was completely different from what everyone imagined.

The Chinese team was at a disadvantage, and it was at an absolute disadvantage!

When Yes and Yi Jianlian took the Chinese team's starting players back to the court, the advantage of 16 points had changed from 16 points to 6 points. In less than five minutes, the Chinese team's rotation lineup lost to Lithuania by ten points!

You know, in the first quarter, the Chinese team broke Lithuania, and it was only 16 points ahead in 10 minutes of the game!

We were beaten by 10 points in this half of the game. This situation is even worse than Lithuania in the first quarter!

The Chinese team's rotation lineup collapsed like this during the rotation time, and even the Chinese team's head coach Jonas was scared.

Jonas's idea for the Chinese team's rotation lineup is to compete with Lithuania in offense.

Lithuania's offense and defense are both excellent and quite balanced. If they play a balanced game with Lithuania, the Chinese team will become a team that is not good at offense and defense.

Instead of this, just play offense directly, attack against each other. You can't defend me and I can't defend you.

In this way, even if I am not as good as you in offense, I will not be beaten by you without any ability to fight back.

Jonas's idea is very good.

But he really didn't expect that these Chinese team's rotation players who he had high hopes for would be so restrained when facing Lithuania on the court.

Since it is a game of attack against each other, it is necessary to play freely.

If you can't let go of your hands and feet on the offensive end, even a player as strong as Yao Ming will be timid and unable to score.

During the rotation phase of the second quarter, the Chinese team's rotation lineup collapsed so badly that no matter how powerful the basketball experts are, they probably can't find any reason.

Even the Chinese players themselves can't think of it.

When Wang Zhizhi and his team came down from the court, they recalled what happened on the court in the past five minutes, and then looked at what was happening on the court now. They really didn't know how to describe their current mood.

When they were on the court, they really wanted to play well and compete with Lithuania.

But in the end, when they really wanted to fight with Lithuania with all their strength, they finally found that there was always an inexplicable force pressing on them, so that they couldn't bring out their strength.

Their performance on the court could obviously be better, and their strength could obviously be stronger, but this force pressing on them was suppressing their strength and their performance.

This force seemed like a shackle that they couldn't get rid of.

Wang Zhizhi and his team could feel such a shackle, and Yao Ming, who was playing against Lithuania on the court, could certainly feel such a shackle.

However, it was different from Wang Zhizhi and his team.

Although Yao Ming could feel his shackles on the offensive end, and his performance was limited when facing old opponents on the offensive end, his contribution on the defensive end was irreplaceable by anyone on the Chinese team.

For Yao Ming, it was a very special thing to watch these young people in the team beat his idols so badly in front of him on the court.

When the second quarter of the game continued after the timeout, the Chinese team once again reversed the situation of the game.

Lithuania, which had previously suppressed the Chinese team in the rotation lineup, was suppressed by the Chinese team again when the two sides started.

On the offensive end, Lithuania could not break through the encirclement of Yes.

Lithuania's guards are very strong, very strong in Europe, and Jaskovicius was once a killer of the Dream Team, but whether it is Jaskovicius or other Lithuanian guards, they are too slow compared to Yes. They may have been very fast in the past, but now, they are indeed a little slow.

Faced with the gradual slowing of physical functions, the only thing they can rely on is experience.

They have a lot of experience in the game, and coupled with the wisdom of European basketball, they can be invincible in most games against most opponents.

But facing Yes...

The Lithuanian guards really feel very powerless.

Really powerless!

Not only are the Lithuanian guards powerless, but as the head coach of Lithuania, Butautas is even more powerless.

He has long known that Yes's encirclement is very powerful, but when he actually faced it, he realized that his previous imaginations ultimately underestimated Yes's strength on the defensive end.

The Lithuanian guards are definitely the most experienced guards in Europe, but watching the situation on the court facing Yes, it seems like a child facing an adult. Butautas really has an indescribable weird feeling!

A group of thirty-year-old veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles look like a child in front of a twenty-year-old young player.

What kind of feeling is this?

On the offensive end, they can't break Yes's defense.

On the defensive end, they have no way to stop Yi Jianlian's offense.

Using a taller player like Lavrinovich to defend Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian passed him in one step.

And using a shorter player to defend Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian pulled up face to face!

As long as it is a single defense, no matter who is used to defend Yi Jianlian, the final result is that there is no way to stop him from scoring.

And Yi Jianlian played very fiercely in this game!

So fierce that even if they successfully restricted Yao Ming, the scoring champion of this year's Olympics, at the end of the first half, Lithuania still lost by a full 15 points!

55 to 40!

This is the score at the end of the half.

Looking at this score, the Lithuanian players and Butautas really felt powerless.

At the beginning of the second quarter, they narrowed the gap to only 6 points, and they really felt that the opportunity might be coming.

Even if they can't catch up with the score, even if they are at a disadvantage against the Chinese team's starting lineup, as long as the score is not widened.

They always have a chance to catch up.

However, the final result was quite cruel.

They wanted to maintain the score difference, but when the offense could not break Yes's defense and the defense could not stop Yi Jianlian's offense, the Lithuanian players had a hard time on the court.

Even Lithuania's head coach Butautas did not ask his players to do more.

"It is not a surprise that the young people of the Chinese team broke Lithuania!"

At the end of the halftime, when the Lithuanian players came down from the court with desperate looks, those Chinese basketball practitioners who were shocked by the results of the first quarter realized that the Lithuania, who was like a god to them, was really pulled down from the altar by them!

For a while, those who could not accept this result anyway finally tried to accept it.

Including the veterans of the Chinese team who were still shocked on their faces during the halftime break, but were trying to adjust their emotions.

"It's not a surprise, it's really not a surprise!"

"It's really not a surprise that the Chinese team can suppress Lithuania!"

The veterans of the Chinese team are trying to adjust their mentality.

After the third quarter of the game between the Chinese team and Lithuania, under the leadership of Yes and Yi Jianlian, the Chinese team's advantage over Lithuania continued to widen. Looking at the growing score difference, they finally believed this fact.

At the end of the third quarter, the score on the field was 86 to 56!

At the end of the third quarter, the former idol of Chinese basketball, Lithuanian basketball, was abused by the Chinese team by 30 points in just three quarters!

Looking at this score difference, even Jonas himself did not expect it.

When the two teams entered garbage time in the fourth quarter, when the rotation players of the two teams returned to the court again, when Jonas saw that these rotation players of the Chinese team showed a completely different style from the second quarter, Jonas knew that he had witnessed the true rise of a country's basketball!

107 to 76!

In the fourth quarter, the rotation lineup of the Chinese team actually won!

"Teacher Zhang Heli, the times have changed!"

"The times of Chinese basketball have changed!"

Su Qun shouted excitedly.

Teacher Zhang Heli on the side was shocked. At this time, the emotions in his heart were complicated, so complicated that there were even two lines of crystal clear waterfalls falling from his eyes unconsciously.

The times have changed!

The times of Chinese basketball have finally changed!

"We are now a strong team, a real strong team!"

The power that burst out after silence is amazing.

All Chinese fans saw the power that Teacher Zhang Heli burst out.

We also saw the power that Yi Jianlian burst out when Yao Ming was silent in this game.

Not only Chinese audiences, but also the Dream Team saw it.

"Such a Chinese team..."

"Guys, there is no problem with the 58 points I said!"

Of course there is no problem!

Coach K and many players of the Dream Team nodded with twinkling eyes after O'Neal finished speaking.

Yes is very strong!

Yao is very strong, Yi is very strong!

But for the American team, this is not enough, far from enough!
