Episode 263 The Last Madness (Part II)

Seeing Chen Bodong's pass, Chen Wei pounced out like a cheetah, trying to cut off the pass!

But!

Chen Wei's fingers were only one centimeter away from the basketball, but he still let the basketball shuttle through. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

What a fast passing speed!

"Huh!"

Zhuang Chengxu made a three-pointer, and the score returned to double digits, 65-53!

"Whoa, ......whoa, whoa," Chen Wei bent over and supported his knees with his hands, sweat dripping on the ground.

"Old Five, you don't matter, right?" Liang Yonghe immediately asked when he saw this.

Chen Wei immediately straightened his waist and said, "I'm fine!"

Is it really okay?

……

The basketball arrived in Chen Wei's hand, just to see that as soon as the ball was in his hand, Chen Wei immediately stepped out with his right foot, and the basketball changed from his left hand to his right hand in a blink of an eye. The two defenders facing are still Zhuang Chengxu and Nong Junyu, the two strongest ace players of Wuhan Institute of Technology. This time it was a positional offensive and defensive battle without any fancy tricks.

Calm and calm!

Chen Wei could not see the slightest excess negative emotions in them.

After Chen Wei's rapidly changing pace, uncertain, fluctuating and wonderful dribbling, and endless feints, the tacit understanding between the two people in front of him finally revealed a flaw.

I only saw Chen Wei's feet suddenly exert force, and the basketball was changed to his right hand with his heel. The quick turn with his right foot as the axis flashed past Nong Junyu! Compared with Zhuang Chengxu, Nong Junyu is indeed much easier to deal with, every time the two of them press Chen Wei, they are looking for a breakthrough point in Nong Junyu!

Just looked, and then Chen Wei quickly rushed through the encirclement of the two with the ball.

It's a penalty area again, how are you going to attack this time?

Just look at Chen Wei's abruptly stopped figure in the sudden explosion of right foot and foot, jumping high towards the back - back to shoot the basket!

"Whoosh, whoosh......" There was a shadow in front of him, and three tall bodies surrounded Chen Wei's front in the air.

No basket in sight!

The basketball in his hand "pop!" disappeared at Shu Qiang's feet, where Liang Yonghe had just rushed into the inner line of Wuhan Institute of Technology.

With a crisp hit into the basket, Liang Yonghe caught the basketball and fell into the basket steadily.

At this moment, the joy in Chen Wei's heart had not yet risen, and after his feet landed on the ground, his right foot was numb, and his backward body suddenly fell. "Boom!" the sound of hitting the floor hard, and a person rolling on the floor!

The figure rolling on the floor rushed out of the field and stopped, hunched over, holding its legs, its bodies completely curled together. The body trembled violently while clutching his right leg, and the painful expression on his pale face showed that the person on the ground was in extreme pain.

At this moment, all the players on the bench stood up!

People with common sense can also see it!

Chen Wei has cramps!

Chen Wei, who has never had any problems, actually has cramps!

At this moment, the team members of Li University suddenly remembered.

Along the way, Chen Wei is working hard to achieve such results! Especially in the last game of HN Institute of Technology and this game of Wuhan Institute of Technology! These two games, especially this one, are all Chen Wei doing his best!

Only Zhu Mingzhen knew, and scolded in a low voice: "This stinky boy!"

In order to continue to break through, Chen Wei has been practicing hard in the past few days, just because in the game with hn Institute of Technology, Chen Wei found a new breakthrough in his ball skills, so, in order to break through, but also for the team's victory, Chen Wei has been running to the court to practice hard in the past two days!

If you don't practice hard, then today's Chen Wei will definitely not be able to defeat Zhuang Chengxu, Li Da has no hope, but if you practice hard, then today, Chen Wei's physical fatigue has also broken out all of a sudden, and under the continuous desperate fatigue, he has cramps!

In fact, Zhu Mingzhen didn't know that the reason why Chen Wei fought so hard was because he hoped that his last basketball game would end in victory! He didn't like failure, and he didn't want any regrets! However, if he wanted to win Wuhan Institute of Technology, there was no other way but to fight, and he would never rely on another self!

Li Da immediately called a technical timeout!

……

Looking at the team members of Li University asking themselves with concern, looking at themselves, Chen Wei felt warm in his heart, but immediately a sense of reluctance also appeared in Chen Wei's heart.

Looking at these brothers who have fought together, Chen Wei is really reluctant. He didn't tell anyone, including Zhu Mingzhen, that Chen Wei, who had really gone through all this with them, was going to leave after this game!

But he had to leave, right after this match, so please give yourself the last of your strength to bring you victory!

At this moment, because of Chen Wei's cramps, all the players of Li University understand that every game, the most difficult time, it is Chen Wei who comes forward, and the most difficult problem is Chen Wei to face, what about them?

At this moment, Li Da's fighting spirit burned again!

……

At the end of the pause, Chen Wei has returned to normal, under his insistence, Zhu Mingzhen did not replace him, but replaced An Xiaofei and replaced Bao Hua! This is what Zhu Mingzhen has not dared to do in this game, because once Bao Hua is replaced, maybe the defensive end is okay, but the offensive end can almost let go of Bao Hua and wrap Chen Wei wholeheartedly, which will make Chen Wei's pressure even greater, but now, he can only try to let go, because this lineup is the key lineup of Li Da at every critical moment!

Zhuang Chengxu catches the ball.

"Pap, pap......" Shu Qiang on the inside received the ball after two feints, turned his back to the basket, turned around and shot the basket, "Pap, smack!" hit the board and scored the basket.

67-55, the difference is still 12 points, and there are 13 minutes left before the end of the game!

After receiving the ball from Liang Yonghe, Chen Wei controlled the ball and advanced.

Zhuang Chengxu and Nong Junyu stood in front. Does Chen Wei plan to break through again?

No!

"Slap, smack!" Two hurried feints, the basketball was stuffed to Liang Yonghe from the crack. After the ball was passed, Chen Wei rushed into the penalty area without stopping.

Feigned to shoot the basket, "Bang!" Liang Yonghe passed the floor ball to Chen Wei who entered the penalty area.

Nice pass!

Wuhan Institute of Technology's inner line, Shu Qiang and Qiu Zheng, and behind them are Zhuang Chengxu who is chasing after him. Wang Shengming and Ge Yingxiong under the basket have also been squeezed out of the penalty area, Bao Hua's offensive ability is not good, and Liang Yonghe has no chance to shoot. Almost in a flash of light, Chen Wei had a clear insight into the entire situation on the court.

Then do it yourself!

Just look at Chen Wei's dry land like pulling onions, his body rises in a straight line. There was a sudden shadow in front of him, and there was a sound of breaking the air behind him at the same time - Shu Qiang, Qiu Zheng, and Zhuang Chengxu completely blocked the space for Chen Wei to shoot the basket. The most amazing thing is that the two huge bodies in front of him blocked the path of Chen Wei's pass to Ge Yingxiong at the same time.

His head was clear, his ears were silent, and his sharp eyes took in everything in front of him...... Now is the time!

The basketball in Chen Wei's right hand suddenly returned to his left hand, passed through Shu Qiang's arm, "Bang!" With a crisp sound, the basketball flew out of his hand at the same time, spinning and flying towards the rebound. "Smack!" the basketball that hit the rebound spun and flew towards the basket. The "dripping ......" spun a few times on the rebound and landed in the basket.

"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and the No. 8 thug of Wuhan Institute of Technology fouled, scored effectively, and added a free throw!

Shu Qiang's face was full of disbelief, and he raised his right hand after being reminded by his teammates for a long time.

"Huh!" the basketball landed steadily into the basket, and Chen Wei's free throw went in.

67 is 9 points worse than 58!.

……

The basketball was still handed over to Zhuang Chengxu, he controlled the ball and stopped on the outside for a while, and then saw that Li Da's defense seemed to show a slight gap, Zhuang Chengxu saw the stitches and sent the basketball to Qiu Zheng's hands, only to see Qiu Zheng immediately hold the basketball up, as if he was ready to shoot!

"Smack!" With a crisp voice, Wang Shengming hit Qiu Zheng's wrist when he was defending from behind. The referee certainly wouldn't have gone unheard, and the thug had fouled.

Chen Wei gave Wang Shengming a thumbs up!

Qiu Zheng scored the first goal steadily. 68 to 58!

"Bump!"

Qiu Zheng's second ball hit the front of the basket!

Ge Yingxiong, who was firmly stuck in the position, firmly won this rebound!

At this time in the game, rebounding is the key to victory, and one more rebound will give you one more chance to attack. Wuhan Institute of Technology's inner line has two top players, Shu Qiang and Qiu Zheng, Shu Qiang 2.02 meters, Qiu Zheng 1.99 meters, both of them occupy an absolute height advantage on the inside, and Li Da has been firmly suppressing the two of them in rebounding. But the two of them are not completely without their shortcomings. Although Qiu Zheng is a veteran player, he is still not good at free throws, this is his old problem, and it has not changed in three years, but it is not a weakness by the standard of a big forward, but at this time it gave Li Da a chance to win.

It's Lai's turn to attack!

"Smack, smack!" Two rapid and large changes of direction finally flashed past Zhuang Chengxu. The footsteps had just crossed the penalty line, and it was the penalty area again. Kicking the ground under his feet, with a loud roar, Chen Wei, who was wearing the No. 9 jersey of Li University, flew high!

That soaring height!

All the players and spectators present saw Chen Wei rise into the air, and they all had a positive conclusion in their hearts!

Slam dunk!

"Don't look down on people!" Shu Qiang roared angrily under the basket, his tank-like thick body jumped up, and the left and right giant hands went to the basketball cover in Chen Wei's hand.

cuba has played so far, has Chen Wei's dunk been covered once to prevent Chen Wei from scoring?

The answer is – no!

"Bump!" Under a loud bang, I saw the two of them crashing together!

Among the two fallen figures, a basketball flew towards the rebound, "Bang, smack!"

Even if he can't dunk the basket, that won't stop Chen Wei from scoring!

"Flute!" the referee blew the whistle, Wuhan Institute of Technology No. 8 Shu Qiang fouled, the goal was valid, and a penalty was added!

68 to 60!

Chen Wei was lying on the ground looking up at the scoreboard, and when he saw the score change above, he took Wang Shengming's outstretched hand and stood up.

Come on!

Chen Wei's eyes were still firm, without any change, standing at the free throw line, taking the referee's ball, and raising his hand at the free throw line.

"Huh!"

68 to 61, only 7 points short!

Suddenly, Chen Wei felt a faint pain in his waist!

Oh no! He was too seriously injured in the duel with the blood tyrant a month ago, and he has not fully recovered yet, and now because of the high-intensity confrontation of the body and the overdraft of fatigue and physical strength, coupled with the air impact just now, this wound that has almost recovered has also begun to add a fire to Chen Wei's difficulties!

……

Now the Li University players who are full of fighting spirit are pressed up tightly every time they defend, and they don't take a step back. Actively grab the ball and don't miss any possible opportunity. Desperately waving his arms, not passing the ball to the opponent, wrapping the ball, and another person rushed up to grab the ball in the opponent's hand.

"Watch the back!" At this moment, Zhuang Chengxu reminded Chen Bodong, who was in possession of the ball.

"Smack!" Chen Bodong, who had no time to react, had already lost the ball in his hand. The ball flew out of control. Several figures rushed towards the basketball in the air at the same time, and a figure in a yellow jersey of Wuhan Institute of Technology took the lead in grabbing the basketball in his hand.

Wuhan Institute of Technology has regained the ball!

No!

One hand was so fast that he couldn't even see the afterimage clearly, and it was pushed out from below, and the basketball that had not yet been grasped flew high. The blue figure jumped high at the same time, and the whole person seemed to fly, "Bang!" received the ball, landed on both feet, and hugged the basketball with both hands.

It's Chen Wei!

Attack, one more goal!

In the end, the crazy belief burned in Chen Wei's heart!

Turn around, dribble!

The position of Wuhan Institute of Technology in front of it was already full of yellow figures. After a slight delay, all the members of Wuhan Institute of Technology have returned.

One more goal, one more goal now! Fanatical belief burned in Chen Wei's heart!

"Pap ......" Chen Wei dribbled hurriedly, rushing forward quickly! That lightning broke through all the previous limits! "Pap, pop" two crisp dribbling sounds, the basketball changed from the crotch to the right hand, and the body suddenly turned around without warning, with an irresistible air flow, with Chen Wei's stretched and elegant movements, and broke through Zhuang Chengxu in front of him in a blink of an eye!

It's the three-point line in front of you!

With a stumble on his right foot, Chen Wei's body almost fell. With your left hand on the ground, your body is firmly on your feet again. Raising his head, a huge figure stood in front of him.

Is it Shu Qiang?

At this moment, Chen Wei's vision was already a little blurred, and the moment he looked up, he couldn't even see the person in front of him. If you take a serious look, it is indeed Shu Qiang, because he is the strongest person in the audience, Wuhan Institute of Technology plus Li University, no other team member has such a strong and huge figure.

"Smack!" The basketball was suddenly put into his hand, and Chen Wei's right foot was retracted, and his feet stood outside the three-point line.

Immediately, his body was stretched out like a slingshot, his feet were off the ground, and the whole person flew high in the air.

Holding the basketball in his hand high, Chen Wei saw that the basket in front of him seemed to be shaking.

It's not the basket that's shaking, it's your own gaze shaking!

Close your eyes, trust the sensations of your body, and out!

The basketball flies in a high arc towards the basket. Shu Qiang, who jumped up to defend, suddenly found that the moment he shot the basket, the opponent in front of him had his eyes closed.

His feet hit the ground and he desperately turned to look at the basket.

"Whew!" the sound of the basketball entering the net came to my ears clearly.

"Good ball!" shouted and cheered desperately from the tens of millions of spectators in the stands.

Chen Wei opened his eyes and looked at the scoreboard, 68-64, only four points away!

"Flute!" the referee blew the whistle, and Wuhan Institute of Technology asked for a timeout!

Zhuang Chengxu looked at Chen Wei and showed a somewhat nostalgic smile, although Chen Wei may gradually become an independent "person" now, but Chen Wei is Fangda This will never change, that kind of desire for victory, the super terrifying strength that almost surpasses his own limits that broke out at a critical moment, this is the emperor of basketball!

……

On the bench, Chen Wei covered his head with a towel again, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, seizing this short time to rest! The game had passed 30 minutes, and his physical strength was really overdrawn, and even Chen Wei himself didn't know how long he could play next.

"You're already very good, I'll take care of the rest. ”

A voice came out of his heart again, but Chen Wei still resolutely rejected another request from himself! He didn't know how many times he had refused!

……

When the timeout was over, Chen Wei took away the towel and stood up, only to find that the other members of the team were looking at him at the moment.

Looking at Chen Wei's puzzled face, Wang Shengming said: "In the basketball team of Li University, you are not the only one who knows how to work hard!"

Chen Wei looked at the resolute eyes of the Li team members at the moment, but he didn't know what to say in his heart.

……

In order to alleviate Chen Wei's physical pressure, all the team members of Li University worked hard!

The other four members of Li University were doing their best to share the pressure of Chen Wei's offense and defense, so that the players of Wuhan Institute of Technology were all frequently striking! Since it was difficult for him to score in front of Wuhan Institute of Technology, he would do his best to defend the opponent and it would be difficult for the opponent to score!

In desperation, the consumption of physical strength is also terrible, but the players of Li University are all out of the way and don't care about this!

Under the desperate defense, the players of Li University really succeeded in disrupting the offensive rhythm of Wuhan Institute of Technology, especially Chen Wei and Bao Hua, two defensive giants with super defensive skills, who actually cut off the pass of Wuhan Institute of Technology several times!

Even Zhuang Chengxu saw the desperate Li University players also sighed in his heart, this is the charm of the basketball emperor, which has driven the whole team, if last year's Wuhan Institute of Technology players can have such hard work, then Zhuang Chengxu will not be difficult to defeat Huaqiao University or even defeat Huaqiao University with all his might!

……

The "flute" referee blew the whistle, and Li Da asked for a timeout!

At this moment, the game is 86-82, the difference is still four points, and there are still 30 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the game!

One minute and thirty seconds to win!

Although Chen Wei has reduced a lot due to the desperate physical exertion of the Li team members, his vision is still blurred, and he closes his eyes and seizes every minute to rest!

……

The suspension ends.

Chen Wei took the ball, and at this moment, for the final victory, Chen Wei fought hard.

Like lightning, the acceleration forced Zhuang Chengxu!

In front of the penalty area, "pop!" The basketball bounced up and fell into his hand, Chen Wei jumped high and was about to shoot the basket!

The three figures in front of them stood in the way -- Nong Junyu, Qiu Zheng, and Zhuang Chengxu, who forcibly followed from one side!

Do you still want to shoot the basket?

"Smack!" Chen Wei suddenly pressed down the basketball from under his crotch. Immediately, Chen Wei caught it with both hands behind him, jumped up, and shot the basket! That elegant and graceful movement shot the basketball out, a high arc, "Huh!" A crisp and beautiful sound, the basketball fell into the basket.

It was Liang Yonghe who shot the basket! His feet fell, it was outside the three-point line, a three-point shot!

Performance at critical moments determines whether a person has superstar potential!

Chen Wei showed a pleased smile, he didn't misread Liang Yonghe!

The score was 86-85! There was only one point left!

Chen Wei smiled and looked at the scoreboard, the last madness must be brute force? If you understand it this way, it is wrong, the final madness is not only brute force, but also shows your all-round ability to the fullest, including the overall situation, passing and other aspects! Anyway, as long as it is for the victory of the team, anything will do!

There was silence in the audience, and suddenly the earth-shattering cheers of "Good ......" suddenly sounded, and those fans of Li University stood up, and now they couldn't sit still at all.

But right away, it's the turn of Wuhan Institute of Technology to attack!

"Smack!" floor ball, Chen Bodong's pass passed through Bao Hua and was sent to Zhuang Chengxu, only to see a few feints under a sharp retreat, even Chen Wei was a beat slower, only to see Zhuang Chengxu raise his hand in one step inside the three-point line to shoot the basket, "Wow!" into the basket to score.

The cheers of the fans came to an abrupt end!

88-85! The difference is three points again! There are only 49 seconds left!

What a terrible Zhuang Chengxu!

At this moment, all the team members of Wuhan Institute of Technology have not returned to defense!

Spot-marking!

The ball is in Chen Wei's hand, and only the ball is safest in Chen Wei's hand at this moment!

Chen Wei dodged twice, and the basketball was passed to Liang Yonghe! Liang Yonghe was immediately caught by two people! Wang Shengming rushed to support. Here, Chen Wei rushed forward even faster after passing the ball, and finally barely ran out of an empty space under the lightning to the limit.

As soon as Wang Shengming received the ball, he heard a shout of "pass over".

"Smack!" the basketball passed to Chen Wei's hands. Two yellow figures immediately appeared in front of them.

Zhuang Chengxu and Nong Junyu!

Chen Wei wants to break through! Break through these two people! He stopped with his left foot, turned around the ball like a whirlwind, and his shoulders sank and accelerated!

Did you rush through?

No, not yet. But immediately Zhuang Chengxu and Nong Junyu both found that the ball in Chen Wei's hand was missing!

"Smack!" The basketball passed through Nong Junyu's crotch to Liang Yonghe in front. Four to three!

The moment the two Wuhan Institute of Technology team members understood, they quickly turned around and ran wildly. Liang Yonghe rushed wildly with the ball, and a change of direction in acceleration dodged Chen Bodong's broken ball attack, but it was this change of direction that reduced the speed a little, and it still allowed Zhuang Chengxu and Nong Junyu to catch up!

"Give it to me!" A voice sounded in Liang Yonghe's ears, and Liang Yonghe passed the ball behind without hesitation.

The ball reached Chen Wei's hand, one step away from the three-point line, and jumped out directly!

"Huh!"

Very crucial and beautiful three-point shot!

And how much time is left?

39 seconds!

88 to 88!

Defend the next ball, and there is hope for victory!

Chen Wei clenched his fists.

At this moment, Wuhan Institute of Technology immediately asked for a pause.

……

At the end of the pause, the audience and the people watching the game in front of the TV were also very nervous!

Zhuang Chengxu received the ball, and the players and fans of Li University were nervous!

The most dangerous person at Wuhan Institute of Technology got the ball!

Chen Wei and Liang Yonghe stood in front of Zhuang Chengxu together, which made Zhuang Chengxu frown!

The three outside lines of Wuhan Institute of Technology are very strong, where does Li University get the courage to double the bag?

At this moment, Bao Hua followed Chen Bodong to death, and actually let Chen Bodong not have any space to receive the ball, so next, in the face of double pressure, Zhuang Chengxu will pass the ball to the object If it is not the two big men on the inside, then there is only ......

Just watched the time be dragged out for more than ten seconds, Zhuang Chengxu suddenly passed the ball, and Liang Yonghe, who was paying attention to Nong Junyu's movements with a side eye, immediately rushed towards Nong Junyu the moment Zhuang Chengxu passed the ball!

Nong Junyu received the ball, Liang Yonghe was still a few steps away from catching up, and he was immediately ready to raise his hand and prepare to shoot three points!

"Smack!" When Nong Junyu's basketball was halfway up, Liang Yonghe immediately slapped the ball hard.

"Flute!" The referee blew the whistle, and Liang Yonghe fouled his hand, because Nong Junyu had already jumped up and was ready to shoot, so he made three free throws!

"No!" Liang Yonghe was very annoyed with his hands on his head, he was a little slower, if he had been a little earlier, his speed would have been a little faster, this would be a perfect defense! If he had scored three goals for the opponent, he would have become a sinner!

At this moment, Chen Wei patted Liang Yonghe on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, let's give them another ball!"

……

"Bump!" It seems that the goddess of luck did not favor Wuhan Institute of Technology, or Nong Junyu did not score the second free throw under too much pressure! At this moment, the fans of Li University suddenly burst into shocking cheers!

After Nong Junyu finished the third free throw, Wuhan Institute of Technology led Li University by two points 90-88! Now there are 18 seconds left before the end of the game!

Li Da immediately asked for a timeout!

……

At the end of the timeout, Chen Wei takes the ball!

"Pap, pop" two rapid and crisp dribbling sounds, the ball changed hands from under the crotch, and Chen Wei's body that continuously changed the center of gravity suddenly drilled through the gap that had just appeared.

Miraculously, he forcibly broke through the defense line of Zhuang Chengxu and Nong Junyu!

Do you want to shoot right away? If you enter, it will give the other party a chance to kill!

Rather than this, it is better to drag it until the moment of the whistle!

The basketball flew into Liang Yonghe's hand, just watching the ball turn into lightning as soon as Chen Wei left his hand, he accelerated his running position violently, Zhuang Chengxu and Nong Junyu couldn't keep up!

There are 6 seconds left!

Liang Yonghe saw Chen Wei, who ran out of the three-point line from the bottom line, and immediately passed the ball out.

Chen Wei received the ball, and at this moment Chen Bodong rushed over with all his might.

3 seconds!

Chen Wei looked at the basket and jumped!

2 seconds!

With a "whoosh", the basketball detached from the palm!

Chen Bodong could only watch the basketball fly over his head!

Will it go in?

With a high arc, the basketball seemed to fly very slowly under the sight of thousands of spectators.

Finally, "Whew!" was the crisp sound of entering the network.

The sound of the "flute" and the sound of the end of the game also sounded!

Chen Wei fell, under his feet, outside the three-point line!

Turning his gaze to the referee, the referee with sweat on his forehead came back to his senses for a while.

Immediately the referee signaled, the goal is valid, three-point shot!

At this moment, the entire basketball hall was drowned out by earth-shattering cheers.

91 to 90! Li University won, making history again, the first college to reach the finals!

……

The team members of Li University rushed up and picked up Chen Wei's body and threw it into the air to celebrate......

……

After the celebration, Chen Wei stood on the ground again and looked up.

Chen Wei looked at a certain place in the audience, a girl he was familiar with, a girl named Liu Yunxi.

And sure enough, she came! He saw her burst into tears!

Chen Wei closed his eyes expressionlessly, and at this moment, Chen Wei could finally close his eyes with peace of mind and leave this world forever.

No one cares about Chen Wei at this moment, or Chen Wei's body.

Yunxi, did you see my game?

Today, Chen Wei, who hurt you fiercely, is completely dead here, and the person who loves you the most is about to come back!

After a few minutes, the team members of the University of Li were almost celebrating, and this body finally opened its eyes again.

He stood on the ground, looking at the scoreboard, and smiled faintly.

In fact, none of this has changed, he will always be him.

left, but returned, but was reborn from the ashes!

At this moment, few people noticed him, and the camera happened to shift the lens, and his expression and momentum at that moment exuded the momentum of the king of the world three years ago.

The existence that shook the world is finally back!
