Chapter 64: The Last Ball (Ask for Collections and Recommendations!If I Don't Collect Again, I Can't Write!)
There are 31 seconds left in the game, and Lizhong is still 1 point behind, but the time for an attack in a high school basketball game is 30 seconds, and even if Mingguang Middle School does not attack the violation in 30 seconds, there is only 1 second left for Lizhong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mingguang Middle School called a timeout, and for them, they could ensure that they did not concede a ball for 30 seconds, and the victory of the game was basically in their pockets.
For Gao Jing, she was faced with two options, one was to press the whole court, trap the ball carrier, force Mingguang to make mistakes, take possession before the clock ran out, and then pause the attack.
The second is to shrink the defense, no longer let Mingguang Middle School score, fully protect the backcourt rebounds, and strive for the last bit of offensive time.
The first option is more risky, once successful, there is plenty of time to attack, if you are lucky, maybe you can directly counterattack and score without a pause, and the situation will be reversed in an instant;
The second choice is conservative, judging from the current physical strength and defensive posture of both sides, the whole team will shrink, unless Yin Lai or Yan Mingzhe feels that he is outside with three points, and this attack is not a big problem. And Jiang Xiaowu, when he has a one-point advantage, will not easily let the player throw around outside the three-point line.
As long as this option protects the backcourt rebounds and calls a timeout after the defense, there is a glimmer of life, but it is only a glimmer of life, because there is really too little time.
Gao Jing's mind was racing, and in a short period of time, she thought about the pros and cons of these two options, and then made a decision, she chose the second option.
According to Gao Jing's character, she would have chosen the first option, but she knew that the first option required the players to have a good degree of defensive coordination, and they must not make mistakes by themselves.
But the problem is that this Li squadron has not yet begun to carry out targeted training for full-court pressing and wrapping defense, and Gao Jing is worried that once such a risky tactic is adopted at such a critical moment, it is likely to leak people and cause a complete collapse.
So, she chose a conservative plan and said to everyone: "One-on-one defense, look at every opponent, and you must remember to protect the backcourt rebounds, protect the basket, and if they are going to shoot from beyond the three-point line, let them shoot!"
The players in Lizhong were drinking water frantically, the atmosphere on the scene was suffocating, and just hit three points to make everyone fall into ecstasy, but there was still 1 point away and the reality of not much time made everyone calm down again.
"Coach, why don't you try to press defense?"
Zhang Fan suggested that he felt that he would not be able to win by simply retrenching the defense and defending the opponent.
Gao Jing shook his head and said: "You won't press the defense at all, Mingguang must be arranging tactics to break the press, okay, don't be verbose, we still have a chance, everyone come on, come on!"
"Come on!"
……………………
The game restarted, Mingguang chose to serve in the backcourt, Jiang Xiaowu did think that he might be pressed by Lizhong, if he served in the front court, the space in the half court was smaller, and it was easier to be wrapped and pressed;
Jiang Xiaowu knows that Lizhong has never been a team that is good at full-court pressing, after all, this is a team he has led for many years, and it is impossible for Gao Jing to practice full-court pressing in just a few weeks. If Lizhong dares to take the risk of full-court pressing, Yin Lai's speed will make them look good.
Sure enough, Lu Yuan led the defense of Yin Lai, and the others all retreated to the backcourt, and settled near the three-second area to defend.
Mingguang's arrow character Yan Mingzhe was entangled by Ren Zhaoliang, Ren Zhaoliang had the title of Ren Saburo in junior high school, relying on defensive fighting, except for Bai Ye, no one could make him easily disarm and surrender.
Yin Lai was dribbling the ball and observing, he counted the time silently in his heart, 30 seconds, he had 25 seconds to think and make decisions, Jiang Xiaowu said during the pause, if you are not sure, don't make a shooting choice easily, you would rather not shoot than shoot randomly.
At this time, Yan Mingzhe suddenly pushed Ren Zhaoliang away, then circled around Ren Wangre, and ran to the right receiving position with the help of his cover, Yin Lai quickly passed the ball to Yan Mingzhe!
Lizhong's defense had a hole because of Ren Wangre's cover, and Ren Zhaoliang chose to squeeze through the defense and keep up with Yan Mingzhe not to shoot, but gave Yan Mingzhe a chance to break through!
Gao Jing's heart sank on the sidelines, Ren Zhaoliang should not squeeze through, but should bypass, rather than give a shot to a breakthrough!
Sure enough, Yan Mingzhe held the ball and went in, Zou Zhou had to foul Yan Mingzhe, and the referee blew the whistle.
Fortunately, in the second half, Lizhong had just five fouls, Zou Zhou had just committed his sixth foul, and the team had not yet reached the point where seven fouls required free throws.
The bad news is that this is Zou Zhou's fifth personal foul, and he was sent off, and Lizhong's interior line is missing an important pillar.
There were only Zeng Hongzhi and Wang Yourong sitting on the bench, the two inside players, Gao Jing looked at it, Zeng Hongzhi was still picking at his nose, Wang Yourong looked a little scared.
"Wang Yourong!" Gao Jing shouted.
"Here!" Wang Yourong got up from the bench suddenly, he knew that he had to play!
……………………
Wang Yourong jumped up from the bench and startled the people from Mingguang Middle School, good guy, this big tall man hidden on the bench is only going to appear now.
And that Bai Ye was still sitting on the stool silently, and the people of Mingguang couldn't help but think that this year's Lizhong was really unfathomable.
Wang Yourong walked onto the court and walked to Zhang Yu and Ren Wangre with a serious face.
Zhang Yu is 2 meters tall, which is very tall in the high school competition, but Wang Yourong is a little taller than him. And Zhang Yu is tall and thin, Wang Yourong is stout, the two stand together, Wang Yourong looks bigger than Zhang Yu.
In the last ten seconds, Wang Yourong made a stop on the inner line, and with Zhang Fan, the inner line in Lizhong seemed to be filled up all at once. Zhang Yu glared at Wang Yourong fiercely, and stepped forward to push, push, and pull Wang Yourong constantly, trying to squeeze him away from the inside, so that his teammates could rush to grab the frontcourt rebound.
But Wang Yourong didn't move at all, and was stuck under the basket in the three-second zone, Zhang Yu was like a wild boar rubbing his skin and tickling on a big tree.
At the same time, Yin Lai served on the outside, gave Lu Ping, and Lu Ping passed the ball to Yan Mingzhe, which is the most trustworthy attack point on the outside of Mingguang Middle School, and their previous tactics can no longer be played, and they can only rely on the personal ability of the players.
Yan Mingzhe faced Ren Zhaoliang, failed to shake off the opponent with a feint, and had to dribble back to open up the space, and made a quick jump shot at the right baseline position!
For a crucial goal, all the students in the audience stood up, their hearts hung in their throats, and time seemed to slow down.
Ren Zhaoliang defended the ball very well, and he had done his best to interfere with Yan Mingzhe's shooting, and if he scored, there was no way to blame him.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the neck of the basket and missed!
The audience almost screamed, but before the rebound could be in whose hands, the sound was taken back.
Ren Wangre yelled, wanting to rush up to grab this frontcourt rebound, as long as he grabbed the frontcourt rebound, the game was basically over.
But Wang Yourong, who was standing in the three-second zone, opened his arms and filled the basket by himself, and Ren Wangre couldn't rush up at all. Wang Yourong withstood Ren Wangre and Zhang Yu alone!
It was Lu Yuan who really rushed up! He used all his strength to jump, flew to everyone's heads, and took the ball into his arms like picking up the stars and the moon.
"Pause, pause!" Lu Yuan shouted while holding the ball after landing, and made a pause gesture at the same time.
Mingguang's people still wanted to surround and grab the ball to cause a scrum, but it was too late, and the referee saw Lu Yuan's gesture, blew the whistle, and gave Lizhong the last timeout.
Because there was no formal electronic timer, no video replay, relying on manual watch timing and instructions from the technical station on the sidelines, there were 1.3 seconds left in the game.
……………………
1.3 seconds, a split second, is only enough to complete a shot, only enough to pass a ball, only enough to drink a sip of water, only enough to smoke a cigarette.
And now, Gao Jing has to find a way to make Lizhong complete the comeback.
If Gao Jing is now coaching an NBA team, he can have the team's superstar catch the ball and complete the offense, or devise a complex tactic that has been practiced countless times in his usual practice.
But now, it's a high school invitational tournament, and he's on a high school basketball team, and they haven't seriously practiced their key ball tactics. After 40 minutes of play, they were all out of breath and about to reach their physical limits.
No, Gao Jing couldn't give up, the team members wouldn't agree, and the nervous, excited and anxious students on the scene didn't want to see such a result.
There is no essential difference between losing 1 point and losing 40 points.
She wants to win! The players want to win too!
There was only a minute to pause, Gao Jing glanced at the bench, if Bai Ye played at the beginning, he would be the best killer, but now there is no way to let him play. Besides, if Bai Ye had been on the field from the beginning, he would not have played to the current situation.
Gao Jing saw Zeng Hongzhi again, he was still picking his nose, this useless guy...... It's useless, is Zeng Hongzhi really useless? Gao Jing suddenly thought that Zeng Hongzhi was not useless.
"Zeng Hongzhi is here, ready to play!" Gao Jing shouted.
When Zeng Hongzhi heard this, he took his fingers out of his nose, stood up and stepped forward, lifted his pants, and raised his belt above his navel, looking extremely calm.
Gao Jing spent thirty seconds laying out a tactic, a very risky, very bold tactic.
The timeout ended, the game continued, and in the last 1.3 seconds, Lizhong was one point behind, and the last chance, life or death, was between this thought.
Zeng Hongzhi unexpectedly replaced Zhang Fan, who stood out of bounds and looked ready to serve.
Mingguang Middle School uses a man-to-man defense to prevent the opponent from catching and shooting, because in 1.3 seconds, it must be too late to break through, and basically can only shoot.
The referee called the ball to Zeng Hongzhi, and all the students stood up, and Zhu Yida felt that his urine was about to come out on the rostrum, he had never been so nervous.
In other places, in universities in various cities, those seniors and seniors who graduated from Lizhong are sweating with their hands holding their mobile phones, and some people dare not watch it and have turned off the live broadcast.
Peng Tianzuo covered his face with a flag, and only set up a mobile phone tripod in front of him to shoot, and he didn't dare to look at it at all.
"Beep!" the referee blows the whistle, Lizhong serves, and the last attack!
Wang Yourong suddenly started and pushed the inside line like a bulldozer, squeezing Ren Wangre and Zhang Yu away. At this time, Zeng Hongzhi made a move, he pushed the ball up with both hands, and the ball spun up quickly in the air and flew straight to the basket.
Was he going to throw the ball straight into the basket?
Because Lu Yuan glided and took off on the runway cleared by Wang Yourong, he jumped high and took off into the air, just like a docking space station in space, accurately calculated, and docked with the flying ball.
Lu Yuan grabbed the ball with one hand, and then without hesitation, he dunked the ball into the basket fiercely!
"Beep!!"
The referee's whistle blew, the game ended, and at 56:55, the gymnasium, which was silent for a second, fell into complete madness.
