Chapter 33: The First Man of the Alliance
The match between Jaguar and Feilang ended with a big win for Jaguar, and the rest of the round was also completed, leaving only the defending champion Sendai Wanderers to play extra-time against Hokkaido Lavender.
At the beginning of overtime, the Lavender team point guard, the rising star in the heart of the team's head coach~~ Zhongyuan Qujiang took the lead and hit two mid-range shots in a row, stretching the difference to 4 points.
"Immortal Dao will not sit idly by!"
Rover head coach Shoji Sidi said in his heart. Looking at the fairy road on the field, Coach Shoji's eyes were full of confidence.
"Everyone, be steady, we're still ahead!!" the Lavender head coach still shouted from the sidelines, motivating his players.
Rover point guard Junta Otake dribbles to the frontcourt.
"As a veteran, the most important thing for Otake to do now is to control the rhythm on the court, avoid mistakes, and put the ball in the hands of players who are sure of it as much as possible, such as Sendo. ”
Coach Shoji looks calm on the surface, but in fact, he has been analyzing the situation on the field inside.
Otake is indeed like Coach Shoji said, waiting for Xiandao to respond.
Xiandao stepped forward to respond, and it was the lavender small forward who defended Xiandao, and the defensive titan Yanota Amano clinged to Xiandao.
"I won't let you catch the ball again!" Amano still said in his mouth. Although Amano's body is not very strong, he has long hands and legs, and his defense covers a very wide area!
Sendo and Amano Ryudo began to slot each other outside the three-point line, which shows the intensity of the fight for each ball in overtime.
But after all, the power of the immortal path is still a little higher than that of Amano Yanagi, and the immortal path signals Otake to pass.
Sure enough, after Xiandao pressed Amano to jump, he received the ball with difficulty, and after landing, seeing that Amano was still defending closely, Xiandao did not adjust, and directly lowered the center of gravity to start a breakthrough, and passed Amano in one step.
"Damn, don't think!" Amano quickly pursued.
When Xiandao took a step within the three-point line, he slowed down again and pulled the ball back with his right hand! The whole set of movements is very elegant, with a bit of a streetball flavor, like dancing, but it is also very practical.
Amano was stunned by the sudden start and stop of the fairy road, and he lost his center of gravity. Nearly swayed.
"Immortal Dao!!!Three-point shot!!"
The on-site commentary was excited to see that it was Xiandao's shot.
"Brush !!" through the poplar in 100 steps.
As soon as overtime began, Xiandao shook off the defender and hit a three-point shot.
"It's even more difficult to completely prevent the Immortal Dao than to ascend to the sky, eh,"
From the words of the Lavender head coach, it can be heard that Xiandao's goal will really make people desperate.
Nakahara controls the ball and organizes the offense, it is still the blocking and dismantling with the center Miyake, Chisato is still sitting in the penalty area, just as Nakahara got rid of the defense and was about to shoot, Xiandao suddenly appeared in front of Nakahara!
"Again, again, again, you can't do it again!
Immortal Dao's words showed his determination to defend.
Nakahara was very calm, and he was not panicked by Immortal Dao's sudden defense.
"You should be on the defensive side of someone else!"
After Nakahara finished speaking, he passed the ball to the defender Guan Gu, who was supposed to defend Xiandao, but there was a loophole because of Xiandao's supplementary defense!
Sekiya catches the ball and shoots three-pointers!
"Rebound!"
may also be due to physical strength, in the case of no defense, Guan Gu's shot is quite crooked, as soon as he shoots, he knows that he can't go in, and hurriedly shouts that his teammates want to grab the rebound!
"Bell!"
The ball didn't go in, and he didn't jump too far, and Chisato controlled the rebound.
Passed directly to the Immortal Dao, the Rover launched a counterattack again.
After Xiandao won the ball, he saw that Lavender's defense had not yet stood firm, so he decided to play a chase counterattack, observing the situation on the field while dribbling, and the speed of advancement was not very fast.
"Defend it!Stick to the fairy road!Can't let him get in again!!"
The Lavender head coach was in a hurry and was about to walk into the field.
But there was a strange scene on the court, except for Xiandao, the other players of the rover ran into the inside line, which made the Lavender players a little panicked, and they followed the inside, which appeared Standing in front of Xiandao who was holding the ball at the three-point line and no one was defending within three meters! After stopping and steady, calmly shoot three points!
"Brush!!"
Chase down the three points and score!
"Yay!!"
The crowd boiled again, and a minute ago the Rover was still 4 points behind, and with two consecutive three-pointers from Sendo, the team is now 2 points ahead.
"Eh,,,,,"
The Lavender head coach folded his hands helplessly, and his eyebrows tightened, obviously dissatisfied with the team's defense.
But the most important thing for the Lavender team now is to score a goal and suppress the momentum of the roamers.
Nakahara dribble, may also be the reason for the overtime, Nakahara's physical strength is also a little weak, after all, he is still a rookie, seeing that he can't get rid of Otake's tight defense, Nakahara handed the ball to Sekiya who stepped forward to respond.
Guan Gu faced the defense of Xiandao at the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, and he didn't dare to make a move, but he kept hunched over, ready to start at any time!
Xiandao knew that Guan Gu was a left-handed general, so he leaned to the left, forcing Guan Gu to break through with his right hand!
"Sekiya!!Look at the time!!Miyake, go and block him quickly!!"
Seeing that the team's offense was rigid again, Coach Lavender directly taught the skills.
Hearing the coach's words, Miyake really ran forward and blocked the right hand side of Sendo and the left hand side of Sekiya.
"Good block!"
Seeing that Miyake was blocking the immortal path, Sekiya immediately activated it and rushed in with his left hand.
Sendo bypassed Miyake and prepared to pursue Sekiya.
Guan Gu didn't look at the timer, but he knew very well in his heart that time was running out, and if he broke in again and couldn't shoot, the time would really come, so Guan Gu just broke through to the bottom line and jumped to shoot.
"It's so simple!" "Smack!!"
At the moment when Sendo shot at Sekiya just left the ball, he touched the ball from behind, although it was not a complete block, but it made the ball lose momentum, and the ball was already slowly falling in mid-air.
"Toot!"
That's when the referee's whistle sounded.
"The defender is seven, the hitter fouls, the offense is the number 13, and the free throws are two. !
The referee's words and gestures were very clear, and Sendo's block turned into a foul.
Xiandao was stunned there, his hands were pinched at his waist, his expression was very entangled, looking at the referee, he couldn't believe such a blowing penalty, and then looked at the big screen above, waiting for the replay.
"Shh~~~~!!"
The replay of this "foul" was played on the big screen, which attracted crazy boos from the fans in the stadium!
Judging from the slow motion, Xiandao did have his fingers on the ball that was about to be shot, and he didn't touch Guan Gu's shooter, but maybe because it was a left-handed shot, it more or less blocked the referee's field of vision, no way, the penalty could not be changed, and the referee's whistle was also a major factor in the winning or losing of the left and right teams.
Xiandao is still theorizing with the referee, and it is necessary to make the referee realize that this is a misjudgment.
Sekiya walked to the free-throw line.
"Shh~~~~"
The audience once again burst into panicked boos!
But Guan Gu's ability to resist pressure is really strong, and he scored both goals steadily, and the two teams fought again to 96 draws!
Rover Attack.
Also at the three-point line at the 45-degree angle on the left side, Xiandao faced Amano, Amano was very afraid of Xiandao's shooting, if he was close to it, he was afraid that Xiandao would pass him, so after arranging the back of the defense, Amano resolutely stuck in front of Xiandao, constantly interfering with Xiandao.
Xiandao didn't want to block and dismantle, as if he was studying the offensive route.
"Bao Jiao!" Seeing that Zhongyuan suddenly ran to the side of the fairy road, Dazhu shouted to remind the fairy road.
Xiandao saw the figure of Zhongyuan with his afterglow, and then lowered his center of gravity and prepared to break through.
Sure enough, as Amano expected, Xiandao lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough, and he rushed out in one step, and Amano didn't have time to stop it.
"Haha, the fairy road is in the middle of the plan, such a breakthrough can only be surrounded by groups in the end, let alone shooting, it is difficult to pass the ball!"
Xiandao continued to kill inside after passing Amano, lavender power forward Kuwabara Shaopeng and center Miyake Ginger had been waiting for a long time, but Xiandao seemed to be undaunted, picking up the ball with both hands and preparing to go to the basket!
"This guy is underestimating our insider!"
In the eyes of the Lavender head coach, Xiandao knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefers to go to the tiger mountains.
"Interesting!"
Xiandao smiled as he spoke, but the two on the other side were imposing, as if they were going to eat themselves.
Xiandao grabbed the ball with his right hand, so is it a slam dunk to look at the stance??
Kuwabara and Miyake jumped at the same time, one in front and one on the side, directly surrounding the fairy road. In this case, the fairy will not be able to touch the basket, let alone a slam dunk.
"What~~~!!!"
Miyake and Kuwabara were surprised at the same time, because they suddenly couldn't find the figure of Sendo.
I saw that Xian Daozhen was like an astronaut roaming in space, roaming in the air. In stark contrast, Miyake and Kuwabara had already begun to descend, but Sendo completed a floating pull-up layup in the air, perfectly dodging the defender's block, and switching from the left side of the basket to the right side to complete the wipe layup.
The Lavender head coach was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Hoot!!Foul on the beater!Goal valid, plus a free throw!!"
The referee's whistle blew, and in this offense, Xiandao really gave Lavender 2 points and a key free throw.
"That's what Sendo is capable of, and some of his incredible shots are largely inspired by opponents, so I don't know where Sendo's ceiling is and what kind of moves he can make. Relying on Xiandao's usual normal performance, the team is not afraid of any opponent, if the opponent can stimulate Xiandao's great desire to win, looking at the entire league, there is really no one who can compete with it!"
Shoji knew his beloved apprentice very well, and he rarely stood up and applauded Sendo's wonderful goal, in his heart, there was another sentence.
"To put it bluntly: Xiandao is the first person in today's alliance. ”
