Chapter 372 MVP
After Xiao Yaojia hit a free throw, the game continued.
By this time, the BLU team had also switched to man-to-man defence. Yu Junzhe and Evans of the red team were not on the court, Xu Yue was the one who played the point guard position, Chen Nuo was the one who defended her, and Xiao Yao was arranged to mark Zhuo Zhiyuan. After Xu Yue controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, he did not give the ball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, who raised his hand to ask for the ball after the inside line stuck the position, but broke through and gave the ball to Feng Chengzhi, who pulled out the vacant position on the outside, and Feng Chengzhi hit a three-point shot from a distance without defense.
Looking back, the blue team still handed the ball to Xiao Yao first when attacking. This time, it was no longer Cai Yue defending Xiao Yao, but Feng Chengzhi, who was about the same height as Xiao Yao. Feng Chengzhi did not press closely, but let Xiao Yao smoothly dribble the ball to the front court.
This time, Xiao Yao did not rush hard, and in the process of moving along the three-point line, he found that Liu Minghao ran out of a vacant position outside the three-second line on the weak side, so he passed the ball over without hesitation. Liu Haoming immediately jumped up and shot after receiving the ball, and hit the mid-range shot.
After playing for about four minutes, Xiao Yao was replaced again for a break.
At the time of Xiao Yao's break, the difference between the two teams was eight points, and the blue team was still ahead. During the period of playing in the fourth quarter, Xiao Yao hit a mid-range shot, plus a previous 2-plus-1, a total of five points, while delivering three assists, grabbing two rebounds, and giving Zhao Yunfei, who broke through to the layup, a block for the red team. However, in the past four minutes or so, Xiao Yao made four shots, only scored two goals, and did not have a 100% shooting rate in the third quarter.
With 2 minutes and 15 seconds left on the game time, there was a dead ball on the court where the basketball was knocked out of bounds. At this time, the difference between the two teams is in single digits, and the outcome is still in suspense. Both teams took advantage of this dead ball opportunity to make personnel adjustments and sent the strongest lineup for the final battle, and Xiao Yao also played again.
After the strongest lineups of both teams played, the situation on the field entered a white-hot state. The red team did not defend Xiao Yao in a targeted manner, but played a full-court press of the whole team. The red team started to press all over the court, and the speed of offensive and defensive switching on the field was raised to a higher level. The number of positional battles between the two sides has decreased, and the number of fast attacks has also increased significantly.
In the first minute and a half minutes, Xiao Yao did not score, but once again handed out two assists, grabbed two rebounds, and also contributed a steal and a block for a high-altitude ball interception.
Through a period of full-court pressing tactics at the expense of physical strength, the red team also chased some points closer. But with 35 seconds left before full-time, the red team was still three points behind the blue team. At this time, it was the blue team who had the ball, and it was at this last moment that they let go and carried out the foul tactic.
The so-called foul tactic is that the side that is behind the score in a basketball game fouls the opposing player's ball-handler in advance when there is not much time left in the game, and sends the opponent to the free throw twice. If the free thrower misses the second free throw, the ball automatically comes to the side of the behind, and if the free thrower misses the second free throw, the defender also has an advantage in the position of grabbing the rebound, and the trailing player can get the ball and attack. If the player who makes the free throw hits both free throws, the trailing team can also get one point back by shooting a three-pointer while attacking. If the penalty taker misses, the trailing team has more points to recover.
Towards the end of the game, the red team had already committed more than four fouls in the quarter, and as long as the foul was fouled, the blue team made free throws, which also provided them with foul tactics.
And the foul tactics of the blue team against the red team also seem to have been mentally prepared. In the previous when the red team played full-court pressing, it was Guo Qi, who was tall and very skilled in ball control, and when there were 35 seconds left at the end of the game, Guo Qi took the initiative to go outside the baseline to serve, and passed the ball to Xiao Yao, who came back to receive the ball in the half.
Xiao Yao accelerated and ran to his own bottom line, shook off Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was defending behind him, and received Guo Qi's pass, but before his arm could be raised, Zhuo Zhiyuan stretched out his hand from behind Xiao Yao and slapped Xiao Yao's arm.
"Di~" The referee unsurprisingly blew a foul on Zhuo Zhiyuan, signaling Xiao Yao of the blue team to get two free throws.
At this time, Xiao Yao did not use the funny urinal-basin free throw, but used the conventional shooting technique to make free throws.
Xiao Yao made both free throws steadily, and then quickly retreated with the rest of his teammates.
Instead of pressing the game, the leading blue team retreated to near their own three-point line and spread out to defend themselves. The red team plays foul tactics, and the biggest possibility is to grab three points, so the five people on the blue team are basically evenly dispersed to five points on the three-point line, all standing on the outside, and no one stands under the basket to defend the inside.
Jiang Qiao of the red team picked up the basketball and walked outside the baseline and quickly passed the ball to Yu Junzhe, who ran to the center line, and Yu Junzhe immediately gave the ball to Xu Yue at the top of the three-point line arc. Xu Yue faced Chen Nuo's close-range defense, dribbling along the three-point line to get closer to Evans, Evans immediately nudged Bielsa in front of him and ran over to pick up Xu Yue. Evans and Xu Yue made a cross run, took the basketball handed by Xu Yue from behind Xu Yue, and took advantage of Xu Yue's blocking cover to jump up and shoot a three-point shot at a distance of half a step from the three-point line.
As soon as Xiao Yao saw Evans shoot, he immediately turned around and ran to the basket to protect the rebound. Evans' long-range three-pointer hit the inside of the rim and bounced off the rim instead of the center of the rim, but fell from the outside. Xiao Yao stuck Zhuo Zhiyuan, who followed in to grab the offensive rebound, behind him, and jumped up to take off this key rebound. Zhuo Zhiyuan jumped up with Xiao Yao, but because he was stuck in a more advantageous position by Xiao Yao, he was not able to grab this offensive rebound from Xiao Yao, so after landing, Zhuo Zhiyuan slapped Xiao Yao on the arm without hesitation.
"Di~" The referee's whistle sounded, blowing a foul on Zhuo Zhiyuan's beater, and also made a gesture to Zhuo Zhiyuan. It turned out that at this time, Zhuo Zhiyuan had already got his sixth foul and was sent off.
After the red team replaced Shi Jingsheng, Xiao Yao walked to the opponent's half court to take a free throw.
This time, Xiao Yao hit two free throws again, and the blue team's lead extended to seven points. With about twenty seconds left in the game, the BLU team was pretty much the winner.
But at this time, the red team still did not give up, and Xu Yue kicked off the bottom line and handed the ball to Yu Junzhe. After Yu Junzhe quickly dribbled to the front court, he did not stop, nor did he pass the ball to Evans, but dribbled to the basket of the blue team.
Since Yu Junzhe still had to play, Guo Qi did not give up defense and followed Yu Junzhe into the basket. And Bielsa also turned and ran to the basket to prepare for the defense and protect the rebound.
After Yu Junzhe rushed into the three-second zone, he started to make a layup with the ball. Although Guo Qi jumped up, he didn't defend with all his might. He didn't want to foul the opponent at this time to give the opponent a free throw opportunity, and he didn't think it would matter much to let the red team score two points at this time. But after Yu Junzhe jumped into the air, he didn't make a layup, but threw the basketball in the air to Evans, who was standing outside the three-point line.
"Damn!" Guo Qi looked along the basketball and found that Evans was no longer defensive, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. If Evans hits a three-pointer at this time, it's unclear if the red team will rekindle hope and continue to use foul tactics.
However, before the basketball flew into Evans' hands, a hand suddenly stretched out in the basketball's flight path and cut off the ball.
It turned out that Xiao Yao saw Yu Junzhe break through to the basket, and when Bielsa followed up with the basket, he quietly moved towards Evans. At this time, it is not of much use for Yu Junzhe to vote two points, he wants to take two points, and he can let him take them. The red team's most accurate three-point shot is Evans, and seeing that Bielsa left Evans to go to the basket, Xiao Yao was ready to go over to make up for Evans. As a result, before he could run in front of Evans, the basketball flew past him, and he was very quick to break the ball.
This ball was originally the attack of the red team, and at this moment no one was close to Xiao Yao, and after breaking the ball, Xiao Yao immediately dribbled and rushed to the opponent's half.
"Buckle one! Buckle one!" At this time, the red team's half was no one, and seeing Xiao Yao break the ball and rush to the empty red team's half, many spectators at the scene shouted excitedly.
Xiao Yao, who broke the ball and counterattacked, glanced back and found that there were no players from the red team catching up, so he dribbled the ball and stopped near the three-point line of the red team's half, as if he was preparing to spend the last ten seconds.
"Huh~" Seeing Xiao Yao stop, the audience who were shouting excitedly at the scene also let out some boos.
Xiao Yao smiled indifferently and waved his hand to the audience, signaling that the last ball would not be played.
Seeing that Xiao Yao stopped playing, the red team seemed to have given up. Still no one ran back to foul Xiao Yao or tried to cut off Xiao Yao's ball, allowing the last ten seconds to go to zero.
At the end of the game, the final score was 102-95, and the blue team won by seven points. He Jian announced.
"If nothing else, there is no suspense about the MVP of this game. Zhou Qun looked at the statistics and said, "30 points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists, a big triple-double, in addition to four steals and three blocks, Xiao Yao's statistics are even much brighter than several professional players on the court." Except for Xiao Yao, it is impossible for MVP to be given to anyone else. ”
On the court, the players of the two teams exchanged high-fives or hugs and returned to their respective benches, and several referees also left the court with basketballs in their arms. The presenter at the beginning returned to the venue with the microphone.
"At the end of the game, the BLU team won the game with a score of 102-95, and we would like to congratulate the coach and all the players of the BLU team. The moderator took the microphone and reached out to the BLU bench.
Under the command of the host, the audience stood up from their seats and gave applause and cheers to the blue team. All members of the BLU team stood up from their bench seats, bowed to the crowd, and waved.
"Of course, we are also very grateful to the coaches and players of the red team for giving us such a great game with the stars of the blue team. The moderator pointed to the RED team's bench again.
After another round of applause and cheers from the crowd and the members of the red team also stood up to express their gratitude to the audience, the host also brought the topic to the last item of tonight's game, which was the announcement of the MVP of the game.
"Next, it's time to reveal the names of the players who won the MVP of the game. The host announced loudly, "The MVP winner of this game is ~ Xiao Yao!"
"Wow~" There was a burst of cheers at the scene again, mixed with some boos.
"Xiao Yao scored 30 points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists, a triple-double, four steals and three blocks in this game, and deserved to be the MVP of this game!" ”
Xiao Yao stood up from the bench with a smile and walked onto the court amid the applause and cheers of the audience. Chen Yang and a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman in her forties also walked into the court under the guidance of the two hostesses.
Chen Yang and Zhou Fangyan excused each other, Chen Yang took a bowl-shaped trophy with a base from Miss Etiquette in a vest, shorts and sneakers and handed it to Xiao Yao, while Zhou Fangyan took a book with a certificate style from Miss Manners, spread it out and handed it to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao took the thing with a smile, and after shaking hands with the two, he held something in his left and right hands and raised it to the audience, and there was another round of applause at the scene.
"Looking at your performance today, I regret it again. Chen Yang also applauded and whispered in Xiao Yao's ear, "When you took pictures of the men's national basketball team a few years ago, I should have put you in the youth team of a professional club." Maybe at this time, you can play in the professional league and even enter the national team. ”
"Brother Yang, can you let me go?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "If I really go to play basketball, your league theme song will be gone." ”
"Forget it, you didn't listen to me when you were five years old, and you won't listen to me even more when you're seventeen. Chen Yang sighed and said, "Don't forget about the theme song, I'm still waiting." ”
"Don't worry, I can't forget, I will give it to you before the twentieth!" Xiao Yao said.
After the photographer at the scene stood over and took a group photo of the three of them, Chen Yang and Zhou Fangyan left the scene under the guidance of Miss Etiquette. Xiao Yao was kept by the host and asked him to talk about his feelings about winning the MVP.
"It's an honor to participate in tonight's game, and winning this award is even more unexpected, I'm very happy!" Xiao Yao said simply, "Thank you for the help of the coach and teammates, thank you for the excellent performance of the opponents, and thank you for the support of the audience and friends." Thank you, thank you!"
"Is that the end of it?" the moderator asked.
"It's over!" Xiao Yao nodded, then shook his head and continued, "By the way, there is also the fact that our Huaxia Basketball Professional League will start at the end of the month, and there will be the Women's Basketball World Championship in March next year, I hope everyone will pay more attention to our basketball league and women's national basketball team at that time, and cheer for our basketball players!"
"Let you say your testimonials, but you started to promote the basketball league and the women's national basketball team?" the host was speechless for a while.
