Chapter 269: Advance to the Finals
By the end of the third quarter, Chung Kook Hope had closed the gap between the two teams with a score of 39-42, and was just one three-pointer away from tying the score.
After the team members of Zhongguo Hope School almost tied their scores, the team members of Linxi City Experimental Middle School began to get anxious, to be honest, they really didn't look at this little-known hope school from the beginning. The team members of Lin Xi Experimental Middle School had a sense of superiority and baggage from the students of the famous school from the very beginning, and even in the hearts of individual team members, this loyal hope school was just a rabble from the countryside, especially at the end of the first quarter, they deepened this idea in their hearts.
But after the end of the third quarter, the performance of Zhongguo Hope School made them have to restrain their inner contemptuous attitude, and even began to be a little restless, their hearts were afraid that they would lose to Zhongguo Hope School, they could lose to Linxi Sports School, they could lose to Linxi City's best junior high schools, Linxi Xinhua Middle School and Linxi Yuying Middle School, they could all accept it with peace of mind. But when they lost to this school of hope of loyalty, they felt very shameless. It feels like a top-ranked 985 and 211 university can lose to the top Tsinghua University and the top Peking University in the national competition, but it will be particularly uncomfortable and embarrassing to suddenly lose to a double non-ordinary university.
And Zhang Yipeng, who was watching the game from the sidelines, naturally saw some subtle changes in their mentality through the performance of the players of the opponent Lin Xishi Experimental Middle School on the field.
During the break, Zhang Yipeng encouraged the players again, and then said: "The opponent is in a hurry, let's play hard, we will definitely be able to surpass them in the fourth quarter!"
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides made personnel changes, Zhongguo Hope School replaced the scoring guard and replaced Wang Yige, while Linxi Experimental Middle School replaced the two players of the big forward and the scoring guard.
The fourth quarter of the game between Zhongguo Hope School and Linxi Experimental Middle School attracted a lot of attention, because the two teams on the other side of the game were almost divided, Linxi Sports School in the first three quarters with a score of 67 to 32 bloody opponents, the basketball players of Linxi City Sports School are really fierce, not a loss is a professional, 35 points of difference, even in the fourth quarter of Linxi City Sports School players play with their eyes closed, it is impossible to lose to the opponent.
In this section of the game, the players of Zhongguo Hope School and Linxi Experimental Middle School were holding their breath, Zhongguo Hope School hoped to win the game and advance to the finals, while the players of Linxi Experimental Middle School hoped to continue to advance to the finals to defend the school's reputation.
The players on both sides played inseparably on the field, and the score was dead on the 3-point gap, and Linxi Experimental Middle School has been leading Zhongguo Hope School by three points.
The players of Zhongguo Hope School are desperately chasing after Lin Xi Experimental Middle School with these three points as the goal, and the team members of Lin Xi Experimental Middle School have become more and more anxious because they are always unable to further open the gap.
In a hurry, the players of Lin Xi City Experimental Middle School were eager to further expand the gap, and as a result, there were several small mistakes one after another, and even the serve was wrong, and the ball sent out was about to reach the hands of his teammates when Liu Xiangdong of Zhongguo Hope School slapped out from the side and flew out, Liu Hesheng on the field saw the ball flying out, and immediately strode to sprint a monkey to scoop the ball up, and then passed it to Wang Yige with a backhand.
Because everyone on the court is paying attention to the serve at this time, especially the players of Linxi City Experimental Middle School are preparing for the attacker, no one expected that this serve was stealed, and they didn't react for a while, resulting in a defensive vacancy on the court, and this vacancy is Wang Yige who is standing outside the three-point line.
Wang Yige's surroundings and front can almost be said to be a vacuum, the nearest opponent player immediately has three steps away, the moment Wang Yige received the ball, hesitated for a second - to throw or not to shoot?
If you don't shoot, pass the ball to Liu Xinhe who is under the rebound, Liu Xinhe's state at this time is almost bound to score this goal, and the two points will be in hand steadily, and if you shoot three points, it is a very risky thing.
The moment Wang Yige got the ball, everyone's eyes looked at him, the players of Lin Xi Experimental Middle School rushed to him like crazy to defend him, the teammates of Zhongguo Hope School looked at him with expectant eyes, and Zhang Yipeng on the sidelines also clenched his fists nervously.
At this moment of decision, Wang Yige lifted the basketball in his hand, and at the same time, his feet jumped off the ground.
Wealth and danger are sought!
Wang Yige has made a move!
The basketball came out of Wang Yige's hands, and the players of Lin Xishi Experimental Middle School who rushed back to defend jumped far away, but unfortunately the distance was too far and the jump was too late, so it was useless, and they could only watch the basketball spin in the air and draw a parabola.
"Boom!"
Basketball on the rebound.
"Ding!"
The basketball bounced off the hoop.
At this time, the players under the basket on both sides are looking at the basketball with their legs bent and ready to jump up and grab the rebound.
The basketball dramatically circled around the hoop.
"Huh!"
The basketball slipped off the net.
This three points, it went in!
The spectators who were watching the two teams play burst into cheers, and Zhang Yipeng also clapped his hands happily and shouted: "Nice!"
And the players of Zhongguo Hope School on the field were even more happy to make various celebrations to Wang Yige, and the monkey Liu Gang ran directly over and hugged Wang Yige, and said with a happy smile: "Good job, Yige, you didn't let us down!"
And Wang Yige watched the moment when the basketball ball fell into the basket, the heart hanging in his heart also fell to the ground with the basketball, and then laughed happily and hugged Liu Gang together.
This three points made Zhongguo hope that the school would succeed in tying the score!
The score of the two teams came to 48:48, with three minutes left in the game.
The last three minutes were the end, but also the beginning, and the two teams were back on the same line.
At this time, the coach of Linxi Experimental Middle School hurriedly called a timeout, called the players on the field over to comfort and encourage them, and also used the timeout to kill the sharpness and feel of the players of Zhongguo Hope School.
The members of the Zhongguo Hope School also surrounded Zhang Yipeng, Zhang Yipeng smiled and hooked up with them and said: "I tell you, we will win!
The team burst out laughing.
The game continued, this pause did not affect the feel and momentum of the players of Zhongguo Hope School, first the center Liu Xinhe scored a hook to the board and successfully scored a goal, which attracted the cheers of the audience, and then Wang Yige hit another three-point shot to completely crush the resistance of the players of Linxi Experimental Middle School.
In the end, Liu Hesheng also made a whistle-blowing jump shot to Lin Xi Experimental Middle School to make up for it. Of course, it doesn't matter whether there is Liu Hesheng's jump shot or not, Zhongguo hopes that the school can win, but with this whistle jumper, he is very handsome and wins more cards.
The final score was 55-50, and Zhongguo Hope School successfully won Linxi Experimental Middle School to advance to the finals.
The surrounding audience erupted in warm cheers and applause, and the team members of Zhongguo Hope School also hugged Zhang Yipeng tightly and happily celebrated this beautiful moment.
