Chapter 9 Shock the audience!

How big is the basketball gap between the Chinese team and Lithuania? We can see the results of the battles we have faced in recent years.

China 75 to 112 Lithuania in the 1992 World Championships;

China 55 to 116 Lithuania in the 1996 Olympics;

China 66 to 82 Lithuania in the 2000 Olympics;

China 75 to 95 Lithuania in the 2004 Olympics.

The smallest score difference is sixteen points, and the most score is 61 points, which is quite huge.

Now Yao Ming has not played for the battle due to injury, which is even more of a blow.

However, there is also a great benefit. Compared with the 2008 update, Lithuania is a time when the old and new changes were replaced. Only four of the previous members stayed, but these four people are really strong.

We can look at the data and learn about it:

Real thighs linas kleiza, 25 years old this year, 11.1 points and 4.6 rebounds in the 2008 Olympics, 8.8 points and 5 rebounds in the 2009 European Championships, 19 points and 7.1 rebounds in the 2010 World Championships, 19.2 points and 5.5 rebounds in the 2012 Olympics, 13.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in the 2012 Olympics.

From 2008 to 2012, Kreza was the absolute thigh of the Lithuanian team. In 2008, he scored 15 points and 7 rebounds, and in 2010 he scored 30 points and 9 rebounds. In the last 5 minutes, he took care of the Chinese men's basketball team alone.

The remaining three, Simas Jasetis and Robertas Yavtokas, are both the main players of the Lithuanian national team. This year is in its prime. Yunas Maculis is also a very famous national player in the Lithuanian men's basketball team. He has been in the national team since 2008 and has been one of the national players in the European Championships in 2017.

But the other eight people are considered newcomers, so it is indeed a great benefit for the Chinese team.

However, even so, we cannot underestimate this traditional basketball power.

This warm-up match is actually a bit different. Originally, the three warm-up matches between the Chinese team and the Lithuanian team should have been held in China, and the Lithuanian team who came to China was only the second team. However, because Zhou Mubai's joining made Lithuania change his mind. Not only did he propose to arrange the warm-up match to be held in Lithuania, but he also decided to send a team to participate in the warm-up match to express his importance to Zhou Mubai.

That's why the Chinese team encountered such a strong opponent.

They were still a little confused about Deng Huade and others in this situation, but Zhou Mubai felt that only a strong opponent could stimulate the potential of the Chinese team.

The game was held on the third day of the Chinese team's arrival. The stadium was a professional European venue. Because there were super giants like Zhou Mubai, not only were they broadcast live in China, but Lithuania also broadcast live nationwide. Lithuania even seemed to sell some advertising fees. Serbians and Russians next to them came to buy tickets to watch the game, making it look like a formal competition.

When he arrived here, Zhou Mubai understood Lithuania's plan a little. It turned out that he was using this gimmick to make some money.

However, the atmosphere on the scene was indeed interesting. Beauties have always appeared in the Baltic Sea. At first glance, Yingying and Yanyan were indeed pleasing to the eye. When the young ladies saw Zhou Mubai looking at them, they all screamed and shouted at them, very enthusiastic.

Zhou Mubai looked at the players opposite. Although he had known them before the game, none of them really knew them. Even Creza, who has signed a contract with the Raptors, missed a two-year contract with the European giant Olympiacos last season and did not know him because he missed the NBA for one season.

However, Creza has been famous for a long time against Zhou Mubai, a famous rookie. Although he has played in Europe for a year, he has always been very concerned about the NBA. Zhou Mubai's amazing performance last season will not be missed by anyone who cares about basketball.

When Kreza saw Zhou Mubai, he hurried over to greet him. He is a big player in Europe and a very powerful player, but he is just a rotation player in the NBA. His best season before was only 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. It is not comparable to a monster like Zhou Mubai who averages a large triple-double.

This is the status of the world.

Kreza is considered an NBA senior, but she dared not neglect at all when facing Zhou Mubai, who had only been fighting for the NBA for a year.

The competition begins.

The starting lineup for Lithuania is: Kreza, Mantas Carnietis, Martinas Gsevhus, Simas Jasetis and center Robertas Yavtokas;

The starting lineup of China is Zhou Mubai, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi.

Yi Jianlian and Robertas jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Yi Jianlian relied on the bounce speed to dial the ball to Zhou Mubai first.

Mantas wanted to try Zhou Mubai's strength and came over to press Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai dribbled the ball behind him and then rushed into the basket. Lithuania quickly shrank its defense line, and Zhou Mubai immediately looked for Wang Zhizhi in the bottom corner.

Wang Zhizhi received the ball and fired a three-pointer, and made a three-pointer!

Wang Zhizhi's three-pointers are very accurate, but he rarely exists specifically as a shooter. Zhou Mubai came to the national team and talked sincerely about Wang Zhizhi. He suggested that Wang Zhizhi be a pure shooter. As long as he shoots more than 33% of the shooting percentage at the bottom corner, he will be considered to have completed the task.

Wang Zhizhi agrees with this suggestion very much. He is not young anymore. Having him take on too many tasks will affect his performance on the defensive end. If he only waits for opportunities at the bottom corner, this can greatly reduce his physical energy consumption.

He also knew Zhou Mubai's playing style. There was a Gallinari in the Knicks team. He wanted to play such a role. He felt that it was still very suitable for him. As expected, just now, Zhou Mubai created him an opportunity to take action easily.

Lithuania attack.

The Chinese team uses joint defense to defend. FBA games often use joint defense, and most of them are experts in joint defense, and the scale of the punishment is very loose, which leads to the basic scores of such games. Of course, there are reasons that only 10 minutes per quarter.

Lithuania's level of breaking the joint defense was quite high. After the center forward raised the center, it forced the Chinese team's back line to shrink, and then found the person at the forty-five-degree angle on both sides. The empty space was played, but there was no shot in.

Zhou Mubai grabbed the rebound and immediately started the conversion.

Zhou Mubai's speed is top in the NBA. Not to mention facing European teams, Lithuanian fans only saw a red figure crossing the whole game like lightning, passing the blocked Lithuanian players and dunked directly!

The audience was in an uproar.

The Lithuanian player showed surprise - is this Zhou Mubai's strength?

In fact, it is normal. Watching on TV, the movements always look much slower, and you can only feel the real speed of the players when you arrive on the scene.
