In the quarter-finals, the Chinese team's final victory against Australia, with a 102-88 and 14-point victory, which made the Chinese men's basketball national team reach the semi-finals historic, and the whole country was in full swing!

Xie Hou scored another triple-double: 30 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the game;

Yao Zhuo is the mainstay of the team. He beat Bogut 5 of 5 in the first quarter to establish his advantage. In the second half, he made efforts with Xie Hou at the same time, suppressing Australia, scoring 26 points and 11 rebounds in the game and 6 underestimated blocks.

Xie Hou and Yao Ming scored more than half of the team's total again, and many people were worried that if they continued to play like this, they would exhaust them.

Xie Hou's physical fitness is a well-known weakness. When the Chinese reporter at the scene asked him if he was tired, he replied: "I'm very tired."

As expected, I was still very tired and forgot to say the scene. How tired are I?

"But we are not tired." Xie Hou replied gasping, "I want to tell the audience across the country a good news - the good news is that we promise not to stop here. We will try our best to reach the finals and stand at the highest podium."

Everyone knows that only champions can stand on the highest podium in the Olympics.

Can the men's basketball team win the championship? Before the Olympics began, this was a dream that was so far away that fans dared not imagine.

Even if the semi-finals have achieved their goal, if they only aim for this, the Chinese team can prepare their air tickets home now.

But will they be satisfied? No, never.

The victory over Australia and entering the semi-finals is not the end. If they want to stand on the highest podium, they still need to defeat two strong enemies.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team's opponent was also a strong team from Europe - Lithuania.

Lithuania is an underrated European team, and they are also a rare European country with basketball as the number one sport (the number one sport in most European countries is football). Lithuanians are strong in physique and delicate in technology, so there is no need to say that they are now in a good state of momentum.

Lithuania and the United States also emerged from Group B in the group stage.

The proud Americans have not yet woken up from the dream of sweeping all over the world without just organizing a star gang.

Dream Team Six, led by Iverson, Duncan and Marbury, is supported by the golden generation such as James, Anthony, Wade, etc., and it seems that no team can stop them. They have gathered a large number of future league superstars.

It is such a team that is extremely unacceptable to fiba's joint defense in the group stage.

Players with poor shooting will not be able to adapt to the rough confrontation of Europeans.

Tim Duncan, the best power forward in history who played dominant performance in the NBA, can only be considered a good match.

In the five games in a single round of group stage, the US team and the Chinese team had the same record, and they lost to Puerto Rico and Lithuania one after another.

That's right, Lithuania.

This Lithuania defeated the Mengliu team in the group stage, and they are China's biggest opponent to the finals.

“No matter who the team is in front of us, we will not stop.”

Two semi-finals, one started first.

Argentina vs. Dream Six, the Chinese team and Lithuanian team watched the game throughout the game.

What is surprising is that the arrogant Dream Six team actually performed extremely fragile in the semi-finals. The talented American ended their Olympic journey ahead of schedule with a complete failure.

The competition-based competition is a one-way ticket. There is only one chance, you can only shoot one shot, and you can continue to move forward; if you can't get in, you can go home to fish.

"I bet that Team USA must not want to play in the third or fourth qualifying match, which is an insult to them."

The United States left the court, and the excited Argentinians gathered around the venue to celebrate for a long time before leaving.

The battlefield was left to the Chinese team and Lithuanian team.

Before the game begins, the core players of both sides greet each other in the midfield.

There are also a bunch of old opponents in Lithuania who are Xie Hou in Europe. They are all the main players of major clubs, and only the national team's game can bring them together at once.

Their NBA players are not as good as the Chinese team, but their overall strength is far above the Chinese team.

Lithuania is different from its previous opponents.

In the five group matches of the Chinese team, almost no team can use a tall inside line to resist Yao Zhui.

Australia is just a Bogut who is not yet in a climate.

The Lithuanian team is full of people. They set up an inside combination of 218,210 to lock Yao's attack.

What's even more amazing is that both of these two players can even pull to high positions for jump shots.

Yao Yun fell into a quagmire of confrontation on the offensive end, and the defensive end was constantly pulled outside.

The biggest problem for traditional centers who are at the core of offense and defense is that as long as they are present, the team must take them as the core, otherwise the contribution they can make will be very limited.

What fans can't believe is that Yao Zhu, the scoring champion, rebounding champion and blocking champion, will become the team's black hole so far.

Yao Zhuo couldn't open it, and other points could not be connected. Lithuania led the Chinese team by 15 points in the first half.

Before the second half began, Yao Yun took the initiative to ask Harris for a substitute in the second half.

"Yao?"

"I might need to calm down."

Harris also hopes that Yao will be a substitute, but he cannot do so directly.

Yao Yun proposed it himself, which made him happy and relieved. He pretended to push it down and then agreed to Yao Yun's proposal.

In the second half, the starters of the Chinese team were Bart, Du Feng, Zhu Ba, Xie Hou and Liu Buwei.

Except for Du Feng's confrontation, the other four people have the ability to confront European and American teams.

The Chinese team's playing style has been completely renewed.

Xie Hou fell into a low position and ravaged Lithuanian defenders like wild animals.

When Lithuania found that the defender could not hold on to Xie Hou, she asked the forward to go. When the forward came, Xie Hou chose to attack the basket in front of the basket. His speed and wingspan, as well as the layup like Dr. J, made a layup for the sky outside flying immortal, and scored continuously for the Chinese team at this moment.

The Lithuanians are not the kind of bad team that is so panicked that they don’t know how to play when they see the stars perform.

They shrank their defense line and planned to expel Xie Hou from the low position by violent means. The price of doing so was to let go of Li Ran, Liu Buwei and Zhu Ba.

Liu Buwei and Zhu Ba became the ones who were emptied.

Xie Hou patiently seduced the Lithuanians' defense and passed the ball out at the critical moment.

In the years to come, Zhu Ba's three-pointer will be the most terrifying weapon for CBA. Now, the first person to taste this taste is the Lithuanian.

Zhu Ba received the ball from the top of the arc and scored a three-pointer.

Then, Zhu Ba oppressed the Lithuanians on the defensive end and made mistakes. He has been trained as an inside player since childhood. When he grew up, he transformed into the third position, but his body was still at the inside level. He can fight against Asia and crush against Europe without fear of collision. It is a very rare 3D (unfortunately, he has never been able to get a tactical position and has poor performance in international competitions. I mean Zhu Ba in another plane).

Zhu Ba hit three-pointers one after another, and within seven minutes, the gap narrowed to 4 points.

Xie Hou once again blocked the Lithuanian's offense on the defensive end, and made a counterattack and dunk.

The Lithuanian called the timeout, and the score difference was only 2 points left.

Xie Hou's talent was fully demonstrated in the third quarter, and he could beat the Lithuanians alone.

He is a misplaced against any Lithuanian player.

To limit him, the Lithuanians had to send two to three people - sometimes they couldn't defend themselves.

Once they really locked Xie Hou (at the cost of two or three manpower), he started passing the ball.

Tonight, Zhu Ba and Liu Buwei made an open three-pointer created by Xie Hou, helping the team tie and overtake.

In the fourth section, Yao Gui returns.

The Lithuanians resisted to the end. Yao Zhuo, who had been resting for a long time, had abundant physical strength. He was like a giant beast dormant in the deep sea. Once he was born, he would bring the end of the world.

Then, even Du Feng began to shoot three-pointers.

Yao Yun got one-on-one space.

The Lithuanians could no longer limit him, and Xie Hou kept inciting himself. The chemical reaction between him and Yao Zhu gradually increased.

Xie Hou frequently cut through Yao Yun's side. Yao Yun saw the situation clearly and handed the ball when he had the chance. If he had no chance, he would make a pass and make a fake move to attack.

Every time Xie Hou entered, he would turbulent the foundation of the Lithuanians.

The Lithuanians' three-pointer on the outside is still accurate and continues to play all over the game.

One minute before the end of the game, 86 to 84.

The Chinese team leads by 2 points.

Xie Hou controlled the ball outside and deliberately suppressed the offensive time to the last 5 seconds, exerted force forward, and stepped into the three-point line with a violent start step like a storm.

The Lithuanian striker who was defending him returned too quickly, and he wanted to find Xie Hou's confrontation but couldn't grasp his offensive rhythm.

His confrontation was regarded as a fulcrum by Xie Hou - someone used the fulcrum to pry the earth, but Xie Hou only needed a fulcrum to throw his defender away.

Lithuanians flew out of bounds like ice skating.

Xie Hou beaten outside the three-point line and closed the ball for three points. After a year of unstable NBA three-point line, he had good stability at the fiba three-point line.

A three-pointer that almost buzzed the ball made a hollow hit.

89 to 84

"Kill the game goal!"

That was indeed a goal that killed the game. After that, the two teams had no more points. The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Lithuania with a 5-point advantage, created history again, and reached the Olympic finals.

The final whistle sounded, Xie Hou put his hands on his hips and gasped.
