Chapter 380 The last game is about to compete
"No more, there is no hope... The men's basketball team now needs to go back and prepare for the bronze medal match..."

"In this game, the Spanish team learned the lessons of the previous game. They guarded against Li Chengming all the time, and at the same time learned from the US team's backcourt press.

"Compared to the men's basketball team, the Spanish team has a deeper lineup advantage, and this game has fully demonstrated it. Their rotation can almost play a role, and at the same time, Gasol and the outside pick-and-roll men's basketball team can't be effective. means of targeting."

"The most important thing is that it was reported that Yao was absent due to injury before the game. This game lacked the restraint of Dayao in the interior. Li Chengming played even more uncomfortable. Apart from him, no one can hit the basket of the Spanish team. ..."

In the previous games, Dayao was completely overshadowed by Li Chengming's brilliance, and even made some people look and feel that he seemed to be a swindler, dispensable.

It's as if Li Chengming completely replaced him, and he was able to lead the men's basketball team to the current results.

Even many Yao Hei in China came out at this time and started to stir up trouble, belittle them wantonly, and brought a lot of rhythm.

Because Li Chengming does seem to be stronger than Dayao, and the statistics are much more beautiful. After all, it is the core style of ball possession. On the contrary, Dayao has done a lot of dirty and tiring work in obscurity, and sometimes he only scored ten points. Doesn't it look like a role player?

But when the day comes when the men's basketball team lacks Yao, and Li Chengming is allowed to lead the team to the game alone, everyone will be able to see the role of Yao.

Some people may really realize his weight only when they are lacking.

The most important thing is that Yao is not there, and the men's basketball team is followed by the outside line, the most lethal "Yao Li connection" can't be played.

Dazhi can stand up for a few minutes, but he can't completely replace the role of Yao, let alone the others. Ah Lian is still too young, the offense is barely strong but the defense can't hold up.

However, this game did not actually happen after the news of Dayao's absence broke out. Some media reporters pessimistically thought that it was one-sided. On the contrary, they played against the Spanish team in the first three quarters.

Li Chengming was strictly defended, and he couldn't break through from the outside line, but the men's basketball team's three-pointers exploded again.

However, it exploded for three quarters, and it was still the same in the fourth quarter. After all, it was not as stable as others' inside scoring.

Dajia singles Li Chengming can only limit as much as possible. Given the height gap, his defensive effect is still not as good as Dayao; cooperate with him.

"The men's basketball team has tried their best. In the fourth quarter, they even took a 7-point lead. However, when Spain scored consecutive points, they frequently hit iron with three-pointers from the outside and failed to respond."

"Being behind by three points in the last 20 seconds, Li Chengming encountered a double-team and scored a big ball. Big Zhi attracted the defense and then passed it to the hands of Ah Lian. "

"After the game, Li Chengming said that the ball was his own responsibility. He should observe again, and the position of the ball should not be too deep. At the same time... Anyway, this game is over."

"The good news is that we still have a chance to compete for medals. Facing the Lithuanian team in the bronze medal match, the men's basketball team still has a good chance of winning, even if Dayao is still absent with a high probability."

"However, this will also be the last men's basketball game in this Olympic Games. What will it be like? No one knows..."

"No matter what the performance is, the performance of the men's basketball team this time is already beyond expectations. I don't think anyone will have the heart to criticize them at this time, because they really did their best."

"Especially Li Chengming, although he made 6 turnovers under the flank attack this time, because some of the strong shots made less than [-]% of his shots, but anyone who has watched the game knows that Li Chengming played well enough, and the statistics cannot fully reflect it. His role does not mean that he did not do well."

"Actually, not only was Li Chengming in this game, but everyone else also tried their best. We have no way to ask them to do more..."

After the game, a reporter took a picture of Li Chengming sitting on the bench with Dayao in a suit and leather shoes with a blank expression, which also made many fans feel sad and embarrassing.

"The most promising year for the men's basketball team, but I didn't expect it to end like this."

"If you lose to the Spanish team, will you definitely win later? It's very difficult..."

"Don't make sarcastic remarks, I still support the men's basketball team. I hope everyone can play well in the final battle and leave no regrets!"

But in an interview after the game, Li Chengming said firmly: "For us, not winning a medal is a failure!"

Li Chengming's words made some domestic media professionals and fans very excited. This is a declaration.

Of course, if you can't do it, you will have to pay a corresponding price if you can't do it.

However, many fans also said: "The Olympic men's basketball team has brought us enough surprises this time, and Li Chengming has done enough. Even if it is only the top four, it is great, and we can accept it."

"That's right, Li Chengming is still very young, and Ah Lian and Sun Dasheng in the team are also very young. After that, they will take the lead, and Dayao and the others have not yet retired. The men's basketball team will only get better and better."

"This time it was also because Dayao was injured. There was nothing I could do about it. I checked it out. Dayao himself ended his recovery early and participated in training. It is foreseeable that the injury will recur. Take good care of him this time. In the next Olympic Games, we will only better!"

And in the process, the results of another game in the evening came out, and finally the men's basketball team's opponent for the next bronze medal game was decided.

Unsurprisingly, it was Lithuania.

The American Dream Eight team beat Lithuania 107:82 and joined the Spanish team in the finals to compete for the Olympic men's basketball championship. The Lithuanian team will have a loser match against the Chinese men's basketball team to determine the third and fourth places .

Regarding the defeat against Spain, although Li Chengming said beforehand that he would take the responsibility, the public opinion afterward was not too fermented, but the blue shoes obviously had some criticisms about this, and they believed that Dayao should be allowed to take the next step go to battle.

However, under the insistence of Li Chengming and Yunus, Dayao also decided to recover from his injuries after consideration. In the end, it was confirmed that Dayao would still be absent before the game.

But the atmosphere in the men's basketball team is actually not broken, because the last game was decided at the last moment, and the loss can be said to be even more regrettable than the first game against the US team in the group stage.

This time they are facing the Lithuanian team. They are not as oppressive as the two teams of the United States and Spain. The most important thing is that they probably have no way to deal with Li Chengming.

As long as Li Chengming is there, everything is possible for the men's basketball team!
During the pre-match training, Li Chengming also discussed with the coaching staff Lithuania's possible defensive strategy against him.

Speaking of which, this battle is also very important for Jonas from Lithuania, it can be said to be his battle of proof.

As for the men's basketball team that helped other national teams defeat their own country, there is nothing to say about it. If the men's basketball team loses, his evaluation may drop.

After all, the outside world still thinks that the men's basketball team is on the same level as Lithuania. It just feels that the lack of Da Yao is a bad thing, but it's not impossible to play.

"This time, I'll take control!"

Li Chengming's words surprised Yunus and others, but they soon understood what he meant.

Before, Li Chengming would take over the team's organizational power for a certain period of time in the game, which is a bit similar to James' point forward style of play.

However, his breakthrough seems to be worse than that of James. Could it be that he wants to shoot directly from outside the three-point line?
