The U17 men's basketball team defeated the United States, but beat France in an upset, how did the boys perform?
The U17 Men's Basketball World Cup group stage came to an end, and our Chinese men's basketball team entered the knockout round with the third place in the group.
Against the talented American national youth, to be honest, we were beaten a little badly. In that game, the U.S. team scored 146 points, setting a new record for conceding points in the tournament. But then again, playing against a team of this level, winning or losing is all learning.
However, let's not forget that we also gave the French team a dismount. In the group stage, we upset the French team, which is second in the power list, which is a very happy victory! The task was done quite beautifully.
With such a tight schedule, it would be wise to strategically abandon certain matches. Next, we are going to face Lithuania, this European powerhouse is not a joke. But our boys, all of them are good, what are you afraid of? Just do it!
It is worth mentioning that Li Yuezhou, the most eye-catching defender in this competition, was pressed on the bench by He Wenwei this time. This is big news, and it seems that the competition within the team is quite fierce.
A netizen said: The Chinese men's basketball team performed well this time, at least winning against France, which is eye-catching. Although the loss to the United States is expected, it can be seen that the boys are working hard and it is worth looking forward to!
Another netizen said: Win a game in France and float? Look at the game against the United States, what was played by others. Li Yuezhou was pressed on the bench, indicating that there are still problems in the team, don't be blindly optimistic.
The field was full of gunpowder, and the duel between the Chinese boys and Lithuania was really exciting. In the first quarter of the game, Xun Sinan gave the opponent a "meeting gift" - a big hat!
The two sides went back and forth, and after a few rounds of testing, He Wenwei took the lead in breaking the deadlock and scoring the first point. Xun Sinan was not to be outdone, and immediately returned a "hot pot". But this rebound, our Chinese team didn't seem to protect it well, Lithuania seized the opportunity and scored points on the free throw line.
Fu Wenhao, a young man, not to mention dunk mistakes, also let the opponent easily attack the basket. Shen Wuving's backcourt serve also went wrong, but fortunately, Zhang Boyuan stabilized his position and won two free throw opportunities. Li Yuezhou was quick and made a successful steal, giving Lithuania a disadvantage.
Liu Li's hands seem to be a little slippery, and he has committed the old problem of "butter hands". Fu Wenhao doesn't seem to be in shape in defense and shooting, which is indeed a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, Liu Li's free throws were quite reliable, one hit one, saving some face for the Chinese team.
Zhang Boyuan played against the layup, showing his toughness. Chen Xiaoyi was not to be outdone, and quickly counterattacked, catching Lithuania off guard. Both sides were fouled early and the game intensified.
Li Yuezhou's basket picking action is really chic, which is eye-catching. Lithuania also scored no less from the free-throw line, and the game went into a white heat.
Zhang Boyuan's backward jump shot, picturesque! Immediately after a strong dunk, the Lithuanian coach saw that the momentum was not right, and quickly called a timeout. Although Feng Yubo lost one free throw, Liu Li came up with a wave of dreamy steps, which was amazing.
However, Feng Yubo then sent three free throws, which was a little irrational, but it also added a lot of drama to the game. At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led 19-15, and this matchup was really exciting!
A netizen said: This game is so exciting, the boys of the Chinese team are really bloody! Zhang Boyuan's movements are so handsome, I can see my blood boiling.
Another netizen said: Don't look at Lithuania now lagging behind, they have scored a lot of free throws, and the Chinese team has to be careful. Fu Wenhao is not in good shape today, his defense and shooting are not online, don't hold back any longer.
The referee's whistle was repeated, the confrontation was fierce, and the Chinese boys were a little tight on the field!
Speaking of this competition, it was really thrilling. The referee's whistle today is more diligent than the whistle of the Spring Festival Gala, and as soon as there is a physical confrontation, the whistle will sound non-stop.
Liu Li made a mistake in the back play, and it seems that he is not in the best condition today. In the competition for rebounding, our Chinese team also seemed a little powerless, and was robbed a lot by the opponent.
Mikaluskas, a three-pointer, directly overtook the Lithuanian team. He Wenwei's performance on the field today, to be honest, was a bit of a drag, and when he was there, our Chinese team kept losing points.
It seems that Li Yuezhou has to come back to stabilize the morale of the army, but at this time, Lithuania's outside hand is too hot. Buranovas hit two three-pointers in a row, and Butajevas made another long-range shot, did the Lithuanian team play chicken blood today? How to vote and how to have!
The Chinese team quickly called a timeout, and Zhang Boyuan finally managed to stop the loss after coming on the field, but Butajevas immediately responded with a long shot. Our Chinese team's shots looked too reluctant today, it seemed that only Li Yuezhou and Zhang Boyuan could score, but the two of them were also disturbed a lot.
In the end, Wang Hongze scored the basket and saved a little face for the Chinese team, but at halftime, Lithuania still overtook the score 39-29. It seems that in today's game, our Chinese team has to work harder!
A netizen said: I can see my blood pressure in this game today, and the referee blew it so strictly, the boys of our Chinese team were blown a little helpless. Liu Li and He Wenwei are not in a state today, and they have to rely on Li Yuezhou and Zhang Boyuan to support them, but there is no way to go on like this!
Another netizen said: After watching the half-time ball, I just want to ask, what happened to the Chinese team today? Being beaten like this by Lithuania, you can't shoot from the outside, you can't hit from the inside, and you can't even protect the rebounds. If it goes on like this, let alone winning, it's hard to even lose decently. It's really exciting!
In a fierce basketball battle, Chinese teenagers fought hard in Lithuania
said that it was too late, and then quickly, in the third quarter, Li Yuezhou made a stop-and-go jump shot, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air. Xun Sinan was not to be outdone, and finally broke the previous scoring drought with a hook shot. This guy was troubled by fouls in the first half, and just got the first point, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long, and a beautiful block was blown for a foul.
In the backcourt of our Chinese team, to be honest, it is indeed a bit of a loss in terms of height, and the defensive pressure is huge. Xun Sinan was excited, and the pass went directly out of bounds. The Lithuanian side shot really accurately and accurately, and every point was astonishingly accurate. Xun Sinan received the ball twice in the low post, but unfortunately failed to convert it into a score.
At this moment, Zhang Boyuan stood up and hit a three-point shot! Yo, that's not enough, and then a super long three points will still enter! Wang Hongze is also tough, causing the opponent to foul in a row, and also letting the opponent eat a physical foul. The Chinese team is going to start at a pace!
But Lithuania's Mikaluskas is not a vegetarian either, and he can easily score with a dribble of three points. Not to be outdone, Zhang Boyuan scored a layup in the confrontation, and he also hit both free throws, which is really amazing! It's a pity that He Wenwei's "walking" defense allowed the opponent to easily score three points. Wang Hongze missed two free throws, which was a little regrettable, but Chen Xiaoyi immediately hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner and tightened the score.
Liu Li performed tough in the low post, but He Wenwei's shooting choice was confusing. Mika Lauskas came to a difficult basket, and after the third quarter, the Chinese team chased 52-57, and the game was really getting more and more exciting!
Netizens said:
This game really makes people's hearts beat faster, and the boys of the Chinese team are really hard! Although height does not have an advantage, the momentum of not admitting defeat is really admirable. Zhang Boyuan and Wang Hongze's performances are too eye-catching, I hope they can continue to maintain this state and lead the Chinese team to counterattack!
Another netizen said:
The Chinese team is still an old problem, with insufficient height, high defensive pressure, and many fouls. He Wenwei's defense and shooting choices are really speechless, how can he win like this? Don't look at the chase now, it's only a few points, there is still a fight in the back! Don't get too happy.
The final quarter was fierce, and the game was back in the field
The game came to the last quarter, Liu Li asked for a board in the low position, this guy is full of strength!
Li Yuezhou was not to be outdone, his jump shot hit steadily, and he also caused the opponent's offensive foul, this rhythm is simply amazing!
But who would have thought that Li Yuezhou, who had just played the state, was replaced by He Wenwei, this wave of operations is really confusing.
Coach Li Xiaoyong, where are you singing? The employment strategy is too unexpected!
Liu Li exerted his strength again and made a successful shot, but then he took a step, and this mistake came at an inopportune time.
Urbonas seized the opportunity, turned around and put the basket in a very smooth motion!
Xun Sinan also fought hard, worked hard to make up for the basket and hit it, saving some face for the Chinese team.
The Chinese team made a mistake in three hits and one and directly gave the opponent a slam dunk opportunity, which is really a sigh!
Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyi stood up and hit a three-pointer steadily, bringing the score to 63 draws, this young man is really a big heart!
Xun Sinan was not to be outdone, and sent a big hat, and the defense made a meritorious service!
Zhang Boyuan stood on the free throw line, hit two free throws steadily, and the singles were also hand-to-hand in the middle distance.
He Wenwei was a little hesitant in terms of organization, but his performance on the defensive end was really remarkable.
This game is really exciting to watch!
A netizen said: Li Xiaoyong's employment strategy is really incomprehensible, Li Yuezhou was replaced as soon as he played the state, what kind of trouble is this? Is there an internal contradiction?
Another netizen ridiculed: The Chinese team's mistake is too low-level, three hits and one can make mistakes, how can this level compete with international teams? Fortunately, there are players like Chen Xiaoyi who stand up, otherwise it would be a shame to be thrown home.
The Chinese men's basketball team unexpectedly lost to Lithuania, and the coach's decision caused controversy
Who can say the changes in the arena? The Chinese men's basketball team fought fiercely with Lithuania, but the result was 70-76, and we stopped outside the quarterfinals.
This game really made people's hearts beat faster and their blood pressure soared. Li Yuezhou is in a hot state, with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, such data is not lost to anyone, but who would have thought that he was pressed on the bench by the coach at the critical moment.
He Wenwei was on the court for 20 minutes and only scored two points, which is efficient, to be honest, really worrying. It's not that he didn't work hard, but he was clearly not at his best.
Zhang Boyuan became the scoring champion of the game, scoring 28 points alone, and almost single-handedly carried the offensive banner of the Chinese team. But basketball is a team sport, and no matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to resist the power of a team.
When it comes to coaches' decisions, it's really confusing. Li Yuezhou was obviously in good shape, but he was hidden, and He Wenwei was obviously not in shape, but he stayed on the field for a long time. Is this a tactical arrangement, or is there something else going on?
Look at the Lithuanian side, Mikaluskas' three-pointer tied the score and put a lot of pressure on our defence. And our mistakes at critical moments also make people sigh.
Shen Wuving's key rebounds were taken off, Liu Li's offensive fouls, and these small mistakes became fatal weaknesses at critical moments.
To be honest, in this game, the Chinese players actually played well, but in the end they still lost, which has to make people question the coach's tactical arrangement, maybe the coach's decision-making made us lose a good game.
Netizens said:
It's a pity to lose this game, Li Yuezhou can obviously lead the team to a reversal, but he was abandoned by the coach, this decision is really incomprehensible. He Wenwei, who has problems both offense and defense, is a loophole on the field, what does the coach think?
Netizens said:
Blame the coach for losing? Are the players themselves okay? Basketball is a team sport, and you can't just blame one person for losing. The coach may have his considerations, we are not in his position, we do not seek politics, let's find more reasons from ourselves.
