On September 7, Beijing time, the intensity of the match between Lithuania and Slovenia was much lower than before. On the one hand, because they missed the final four, and on the other hand, they were really tired. However, there are more people on the Lithuanian side who can stand up, which also allowed Lithuania to crush Slovenia throughout the game, and when the score continued to open the score in the final quarter, it finally won 100-84 and advanced to the battle for five or six places.
And today Varan is really too incomprehensible. As long as he's under the basket, it's playing high. Because the opponent is not very tall, he takes the ball and can only be restricted by fouls on the opposite side, or can only watch Varan score under the basket. Varan cut 24+12 stats in the game, and his dominance at the basket was excellent.
And Lithuania's biggest advantage is their team basketball. They handed out 15 assists at half-time, 28 assists throughout the game, and the whole team looked fluid. With this cooperation, the entire Lithuanian team was revitalized. In addition to Varan, Blazdekis, Dimsa, Chokubatis, Kuzminskas, Silvidis and Normantas, all maintain steady output. It is true that they will finish the shot at the best time, which naturally guarantees the shooting percentage of the players, and their total shooting percentage is actually 38 of 64.
But this year Lithuania is really a pity. If they had lost to the United States, they would have played Italy in the quarter-finals, and perhaps they would have advanced to the semi-finals. There is no way, the end result is so helpless.
Slovenia is still Doncic alone against the team. Of course, Doncic still did not enjoy superstar-level treatment throughout the game, even so, Doncic still scored 29 points, and the defensive end was dominating the game, but it was still too tiring to play. Even after the final score was pulled apart, coupled with the referee's mentality, Doncic had no desire to continue playing. Handling the ball is very casual, causing the team to pull bigger and bigger. As long as Doncic pulls his crotch at this point, the team collapses.
