Chapter 18: The Final
On the day of the finals, Jessica specifically asked Tiger for a No. 11 jersey from Christ High School, which he was wearing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info drove Zhang Hong and Andy, who was also wearing a Tiger jersey, to the stadium of the game. In Jessica's words, the whole family won the championship together. At the back of the Christian High School players' zone, they cheered for Tiger with their classmates who had deliberately followed the team and cheered for the team.
Maybe it's because the media has been so disturbed lately, and some NBA stars have appeared on the court, and Tiger saw a big shark, and now the shark is very funny, and he only recognizes O'Neal. It is said that Rick Barry was also invited to commentate on the game. I believe that there are many scouts from the NBA and NCAA sitting in the audience.
Tiger and his teammates finished their warm-ups, and Coach Benjamin made the final pre-game set-up.
"Kids! We're here again, I'm sure you're all familiar with it, we've won two titles here in the last two years, the same opponents, we're not afraid of them, you just have to beat them the way you trained. Come on! ”
After Coach Benjamin gave his final encouragement, the game was about to begin, and the players from both sides came to the center circle to prepare for the kick-off. Today's Oak Hill Middle School players were noticeably more excited, and they came with a vengeful heart. Jackson looked at Tiger with fire-filled eyes, he knew that this was Tiger's last year, and he was eager to beat this old rival in the game without regrets.
At the beginning of the game, Oak Hill got the ball first, they scored the ball steadily, and then all retreated back to the halfway, and the point guard from Christ Middle School still carried the ball over the halfway line, and handed the ball to Tiger to organize.
Stephen. Jackson is different from most high school players, he is more defensive and light, he is a good team player, today he played against Tiger in the game, and when he saw Tiger receiving the ball, he directly entangled. Everyone is an old rival, he knows the opponent, Tiger tried to break through, was entangled by Jackson but did not succeed, Tiger took a step back, came to the three-point line and made a shooting action, Jackson opened his arms, but did not jump, Tiger faked a real pass, he had seen a pass gap. The ball was also scored and both sides switched attacks.
The game was played in constant transitions, but it was not too intense. Oak Hill Middle School, which is higher in overall strength than Christ High School, slowly opened the score, and at the end of the first half, Christ Middle School was 15 points behind, and everyone entered the lounge.
"Rick, what do you think of the play between the two sides?" At the end of the first half, the commentator asked the guest next to him, Rick. Barry.
"I don't think it was as intense as everyone thought before the game, Christ School averaged a little bit lower than Oak Hill School, and the core of their team, star player Tiger Brown. Washington didn't show any excitement, just chained some of the team's offense. If nothing else, I don't think the outcome of this game will change. Rick Barry said.
"Accidents? What kind of surprises do you think will come out of this game? ”
"For example, Tiger's sudden outburst, or Jackson's sudden injury, you can also see that Jackson did a good job of defending Tiger in this game, and Jackson's defense is considered the best in the high school league." Rick Barry laughed, and it was clear that he was not optimistic that Christ would be able to reverse it.
"Alright! It seems that you are not optimistic about Christ School. Let's take a break and come back for the second half. ”
In the lounge of Christ Middle School, the players all looked very depressed, all of them lowered their heads and did not speak, obviously the team has played too smoothly in the past few years, and it has not been a long time since there has been a big score like this.
"Guys!" Tiger clapped his hands and stood in the middle and said to everyone: "This year we have held on to the team's all-win record with a lot of difficulties, and here again, I know everyone is working hard and tired. Some of us, like me, are about to graduate and leave school, and some of us will stay, but I want to leave something behind before leaving, like a championship! And if you stay, you might come here next time, I don't know what it will be like then, but I know that if we work harder, we will be able to touch the trophy in no time. Are you willing to lose to the outside, those who have been trampled by us, and after the game, they will leave here in disgrace? ”
Everyone looked up, their eyes furrowed at Tiger, and their hands clenched into fists.
"That's what we did in the second half. All the offense is left to me, and I will do the offense, and you guys will keep your strength and defend well, let's wait and rush out and snatch back our championship trophy like mad dogs, why? Because the championship should be ours! Believe me! We can win in the end and I'll put all the balls in it. As he spoke, Tiger put his hand in front of him and looked at his teammates.
It can be said that I have been teammates with Tiger for a long time, and everyone has a mysterious trust in Tiger, and deep down I feel that as long as Tiger says he can win, he will definitely be able to! Everyone gathered their feelings, stood up and folded their hands together, and shouted with Tiger: "The champion should be ours!" ”
Coach Benjamin next to him didn't say anything, just looked at the players, he understood that what everyone needs most now is Tiger to give them the confidence to win, and he also needs Tiger to give him this confidence, because they all trust Tiger deeply in their hearts.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Christ Middle School attacked first, everyone felt different at the beginning of the game, Tiger gave people a feeling completely changed, his whole person seemed to burn, after he got the ball, he resolutely broke through and rushed straight to the basket, Jackson, who defended him very well in the first half, completely lost his defense, Tiger dunked the basketball and converted to defense, all the players increased their actions and began to press fiercely, Tiger was more active in the defense.
Christ Middle School defended this ball, which greatly boosted the confidence of the players, and then on the offensive end, Tiger was like a transformed Superman, breaking through dunks, dry pull-up jump shots, omnipotent, strong and resolute. From the second half onwards, Tiger did all the offense alone, while the rest of the team worked hard to help the team on the defensive end.
"Barry, you're halfway there, Jackson didn't come out injured, but he's completely out of the way with Tiger, and now Tiger is as omnipotent as Jordan, he's closing the score. It's really rare to see Tiger like this, and those who are familiar with him know that most of the time, although Tiger is amazingly talented, he rarely dunks, he will use his strength to crush opponents, but he will pass the ball accurately when his teammates have the opportunity. ”
"Yes, Tiger in the second half. Washington amazed me, his body was so explosive, he absolutely crushed all high school players in terms of power, and these muscles didn't affect his hand, which was incredible, his three-point shooting was really accurate. Oh! Wait a minute! Oh my! What do I see? I'm sure he must have been possessed by Jordan at this moment. Rick Barry jumped up and screamed loudly.
While Rick Barry was talking, Oak Hill Middle School tried to pack Tiger with a clamp, Tiger made an emergency stop and changed direction to break through again, next to the three-second zone, two Oak Hill players stood still, closing the door to block Tiger's route, Tiger directly stepped on the floor with a heavy foot, the whole person flew, and the player in front of him also jumped, Tiger avoided the two big hands in the air, but could no longer keep flying, and sent the ball into the basket with his fingers, and he himself lay on the body of the two Oak Mountain players, and fell heavily to the ground.
