The game continued until there were 6 minutes left in the second quarter before Lin Ying was replaced and took a rest.

When he came off the field, he felt like his throat had a rusty taste.

It is a disorder of taste caused by adrenaline stimulation of the taste reflex nerves after physical fitness reaches its limit.

However, after he sat down, he panted and looked at the court with firm eyes.

Whether you can make it to the finals, or even whether you can get a card are all things that will happen later. The game in front of you is the most important thing.

If we win, the semi-finals will be new history.

Losing, because there was no qualifying, tied history at best.

This game is treated as the last one.

After less than three minutes of rest, Yunus replaced him again.

In the three minutes without him, the Lithuanian team tied the score again.

The gap in strength between the two teams can be seen at a glance, and they can only rely on hard work.

This feels very similar to the previous series between the Nuggets and the Lakers.

The difference is that it was a series and this is one.

You definitely can't win a series, but you have a chance to win in one!

After halftime, the men’s basketball team led the Lithuanian team 44 to 40!

The competition is very promising!

"Hold on, victory is waving to us!"

Su Qun was very excited.

Zhang Weiping on the side smiled and nodded, but he also looked worried.

Physical fitness is the biggest problem for the Chinese team.

It's not just a matter of race, the CBA's game intensity is insufficient, the rotation is not strong enough and the main players are forced to play for a long time, etc. are all factors.

It can be said that if the basketball game only lasts for one quarter, then the Chinese team will be among the top eight in the world in terms of hard power!

In the previous half-time lead against the United States, the half-time advantage against Spain was established, and even in the half-time game against Greece, we were only behind by more than ten points.

In the collapse, basically the physical performance was about the same in the first half, but after returning in the second half, I was completely defeated.

In fact, Yunus didn't talk much to the players during the halftime break. He also asked the players to rest as much as possible.

Come back from midfield and the game continues.

The fans' enthusiasm continued unabated, and their cheers never stopped from the beginning of the half.

Amid the cheers, the Chinese team also continued to go back and forth with the Lithuanian team.

It was not until the second half of the third quarter, when the physical strength of the main players began to fail to keep up and Yunus was forced to enter the rotation, that problems began to arise.

One from Jaskovicius on the left, one from Sisikauskas at the top of the arc, and two three-pointers. The Lithuanian team immediately caught up with the score difference and took the lead.

The outside ability of European teams is really incredible.

And after Yao Ming also left the game, they began to attack the inside again.

After three quarters, the Lithuanian team led the men's basketball team by 9 points 65-56!

Although the process is different, the result is all too familiar.

This was also the case when the men's basketball team played the US team before.

The eyes of the audience were full of anxiety.

When we played the United States in the opening game, we knew we couldn't win, so I was very satisfied if we played better than expected.

But that is the group stage, this is the knockout round, if you lose, you lose, there is no such thing as losing!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yunus replaced Yao Ming at the beginning, but Lin Ying was pushed to the bench by him.

Just like in history, when he replaced Yi Jianlian with Wang Zhizhi at the last minute of regular time against Spain to strengthen defense, it was a gamble.

Before going on the field, he called together the five people who were going to play.

"We still have a chance to hold on to the point difference. Think about your efforts to come back here, think about the fans who support you and your country!"

At this point, Yunus' voice became louder.

"Chinese men's basketball team, come on!"

The players chanted a slogan before taking the field.

From Yao Ming's eyes, you can see a more determined look than any time in the past NBA.

In the fourth quarter, it’s time to fight!

At this moment, there was a burst of excitement and cheers from the sidelines.

Kobe came to watch the game.

The game between the U.S. men's basketball team and Australia doesn't start until 8 p.m., and it seems like Kobe came alone to warm up in advance.

Kobe's popularity is still high, he doesn't even leave, he just pushes his way forward.

But soon, most people's eyes turned to the court, and the fourth quarter began!

After Kobe found his seat and sat down, he first looked up at the score.

There wasn't much surprise in his eyes.

After experiencing the group stage, including his exchange with Gasol after Spain lost the group stage, he knows that the Chinese men's basketball team has the potential to reach the semi-finals.

Even if it weren't for an overly authentic grouping, like playing Croatia or something, the Chinese men's basketball team would have led by more than ten points in the third quarter.

The game on the court has begun, but Liu Wei still failed to make a mid-range jump shot, and Yao Ming was also pushed and failed to grab the board.

Fortunately, several people on the outside retreated quickly and were not immediately hit by the Lithuanian team's fast break.

But their second wave of attacks was quick.

Sisikauskas' follow-up layup...

"Bang!"

Got chased by Yao Ming!

The Lithuanian players on the field were stunned.

Yao Ming? Chasing the hat?

How could someone with such a big stature and weight run back after being pushed!

The camera captured Yao Ming taking a breath after blocking the shot.

It was obvious that he was holding back his energy and ran back!

In fact, because he is tall and has long steps, Yao Ming's 3/4 sprint is not considered slow.

The classic one-stop fast attack under the crotch back then is an example.

Of course, this kind of sprinting with the accelerator button pressed to the end consumes a lot of physical energy.

However, it's worth it!

It can be clearly felt that Yao Ming's chasing shot greatly increased the momentum of the players on the court.

The general will have the heart to die, but the scholar will not be greedy for life!

As a core role model, it is more effective than chicken soup!

Wang Shipeng hit a long-range three-pointer from the outside!

It kind of brings back the feeling of beating Slovenia in the past!

And looking back, Yi Jianlian struggled to prevent Kleiza's attack. The men's basketball team launched a defensive counterattack. Liu Wei's layup was knocked over and he also won two free throws.

Many spectators at the scene had their eyes reddened.

Lin Ying's persistence, Yao Ming's example, and Liu Wei's risklessness.

Tonight's men's basketball team not only deserves their cheers, but is even more touching!

Of course, Lithuania's strength lies here. Liu Wei made two free throws and finally brought the score to 4 points. Kleiza turned around and made a three-pointer from the outside, and the score difference was back to 7 points.

Yunus looked up at the score and even more at the time.

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, with the score 62-70, Yunus turned around and called Lin Ying up.

Lin Ying suddenly stood up.

He can't wait for a long time!

Although physically speaking, four minutes does not allow much recovery, but it is completely torturous to watch his teammates working hard on the court while he sits off the court!

Before going on stage, Yunas patted his shoulder specially.

Obviously, he just asked Lin Ying to regain some strength and then go up and lead the team.
