Chapter 247: Shock! We won

At the timeout, the players all moved out of the way and opened up space for Ryu-masong to sit in the chair and regain his strength. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Holding his knees, Ryu-masong took deep breaths and let the sweat run down his cheeks.

Two minutes later, when Ryuzheng's breathing calmed down, he grabbed the water in his hand and drank a bottle in one go.

"Long Zheng, how's it going?"

Handing the towel to Ryumasa, Yusaku Ozawa nervously asked, "Can you still hold on?" ”

"I'm physically exhausted, and now I lose the ability to hold the ball and protect the ball." Looking at everyone, Long Zheng said helplessly.

"The only thing that's sure is the open shot."

As soon as the words changed, Long Zheng said in a condensed voice: "It's a pity that Jordan and Pippen have been double wrapping me, and now that I don't have physical strength, I can't run out of the empty seat at all." ”

"The physical strength of the NBA's top players,"

Thinking that Jordan and Pippen have experienced forty minutes of high-intensity play since they came on the court, and the other players of the Bulls have rotated, the two of them have always stayed on the court.

By now, Long Zheng has used up his physical strength, but Jordan and the two still have enough physical strength, and the defensive intensity has not decreased significantly compared with before.

Thinking of this, Long Zheng could only complain helplessly: "I can only envy, envy and hate." ”

"In this case, you can only give up the inside and rebounding," Ozawa Yusaku picked up the tactical board after weighing the pros and cons, "and bet on the shooting percentage from the outside." ”

......

After the pause, the Japanese national team's substitution adjustment was a surprise.

Ayumi Tomimatsu, who plays as a small forward, replaces Kozo Yano; Reita Ito, who plays as a shooting guard, replaces power forward Hirosuke Chizawa.

In the last minute of the game, the Japanese national team presented a gambling lineup.

No. 6, Kota Mimori, shooting guard, 196 cm tall and 90 kg in weight;

No. 7, Shinnosuke Kishimoto, small forward, 194 cm tall and 84 kg in weight;

No. 8, Raita Ito, a shooting guard, 191 cm tall and 78 kg in weight;

No. 10, Long Zheng, a scoring guard, 199 cm tall and 95 kg in weight;

No. 14, Ayumi Tomimatsu, a small forward, 193 cm tall and weighing 86 kg.

With two small forwards and three shooting guards, Kota Mimori is the best five three-point shooters on the team.

When attacking, head coach Yusaku Ozawa asked all the players to stand on the outside and create open shooting opportunities through running.

After getting a vacancy, the player immediately shoots, and after shooting, regardless of whether the goal is scored or not, the player immediately returns to the defense and takes the initiative to give up the scramble for rebounds in the front court.

If the Japanese national team did not defend the first attack of the Bulls, and was pulled up by the Bulls, then in the subsequent game, the Japanese national team used the foul tactics of falling behind in the score.

(ps: The so-called foul tactics when the score is behind, specifically refers to: when there is little time left in the game, the side is still one or two points behind, but the ball is in the hands of the opponent, the side generally adopts foul tactics in the case of really unable to steal, that is, foul the opponent's player in advance (that is, foul before the opponent shoots), let the opponent's player hold the player make two free throws, and expect the opponent to hit as few balls as possible, and then the side wins the ball, completes the offense, and achieves the goal of equalizing or even overtaking the score.)

Take the current match between the Bulls and the Japanese national team as an example:

After the timeout, if the Bulls and the Japanese national team hit each other and scored the same number of points, the Japanese national team was still two points behind the Bulls at that time.

At this time, if the Japanese national team adopts foul tactics, then the Bulls make two free throws, and if they don't score, then the Japanese national team can grab a three-point shot after grabbing the rebound, and if it scores, it can overtake the score.

The basic principle is: use the difference between two-point and three-point shots to win the game hard.

This tactic requires the lagging side to have the right timing of the foul, and the opponent is unlucky (misses the free throw), and to have a 100 per cent success rate once they have possession of the ball.

Because the difficulty is so high, it is difficult to succeed in foul tactics when the score is behind.

Therefore, the head coach of the Japanese national team, Yusaku Ozawa, did not require the players to use foul tactics immediately after they came on the court, and only after the Japanese national team did not defend against the Bulls and was pulled up by the Bulls, they could use it and make a last stand. )

The score was 88-90, and the Bulls led by two points. After the timeout, the Bulls attacked first.

At the critical moment when the score was deadlocked, the Bulls also wanted to open the score through three-pointers, and the final decision was to directly decide the outcome of the game.

Compared with the starting lineup, the Bulls' lineup at the moment has changed a lot:

No. 42, Scott Williams, a center forward, 208 cm tall and weighing 118 kg;

No. 7, Tony Kukoc, shooting guard, 211 cm tall and 107 kg;

No. 33, Scottie Pippen, small forward, 203 cm tall, 102 kg in weight;

No. 23, Michael Jordan, shooting guard, 198 cm tall and 98 kg;

No. 10, B.J. Armstrong, point guard, 188 cm tall and 79 kg in weight.

Except for center Scott Williams, the other four are all ruthless three-point players.

After B.J. Armstrong dribbled past halfcourt, the Bulls ran quickly.

Center Scott Williams bursts inside, and he's full of energy, ready to pick up and pick up.

Tony Kukoc, Scottie Pippen, and Michael Jordan are all centered on point guard B.J. Armstrong to build a triangle offensive system.

Knowing that he couldn't do it, in the last minute of the game, the players of the Japanese national team tried their best to defend against the Bulls' attack.

Ryumasa is guarding against Michael Jordan, Ayumi Tomimatsu is guarding against B.J. Armstrong, Shinnosuke Kishimoto is targeting Scottie Pippen, and Kota Mimori is guarding against Tony Kukoc, and the remaining one, Reita Ito, is responsible for checking and filling in the gaps in his teammates' defenses at any time.

With a quick switchback run, the Bulls easily broke down the opponent's perimeter defense.

With Scott Williams' sudden uplift and pick-and-roll, Jordan got a shot.

Long Zheng, who was stuck in the position by Scott Williams and jumped up a step late to block, could only watch as Michael Jordan's trademark step-back jumper hit the center of the basket accurately.

At 88:93, with 40 seconds left in the game, the Bulls led by five points.

When his teammates were preparing to serve from the sideline, Ryumasa suddenly ran to Kota Mimori and whispered.

Leaving Kota Mimori's side, Ryu-masa suddenly accelerated, leading Jordan and Pippen, who were closely guarding him, to run towards the front.

At a distance of two meters within the midline, Long Zheng suddenly jumped between Jordan and Pippen without warning.

In mid-air, Ryumasa, who was about to rise to the highest point, received a strong hand throw from Kota Mimori ten meters away.

Receiving the ball from his teammates, Long Zheng held the ball with both hands, forcibly turned around in mid-air, stared at the basket in the distance, and threw the basketball in his hand hard.

"Is Long Zheng crazy?" "It's crazy!" "How is that possible?" ......

Long Zheng's unbelievable behavior made the audience stunned. In the midst of extreme shock, countless people stood up in a trance.

With a "bang", looking at the basketball that broke through the net and fell on the floor, everyone only felt that the worldview that had always existed was completely shattered.

Anything is possible, and Long Zheng on the field interprets the true meaning of this sentence. As long as you can't think of it, if you can't do it, as long as the game is not over, then throw the basketball in your hand in the direction of the basket.

At 91:93, Ryu-jung's bizarre shot helped the team pull back a three-pointer with 35 seconds left in the game.

B.J. Armstrong attacked with the ball, and defender Ayumi Tomimatsu fouled B.J. Armstrong to the free throw line when he couldn't make a steal.

B.J. Armstrong made two free throws to put the score at 91-95, giving the Bulls a four-point lead with 29 seconds left on the clock.

Raita Ito serves on the sideline, and Kota Mimori dribbles forward. On the basketball court, the five people of Long Zheng are like five troikas, and they quickly dribble the ball to the front court between horizontal passes and cuts.

An incredible scene appeared in the eyes of the audience, the Japanese national team players who were running and looking for vacant seats suddenly ran towards Long Zheng very tacitly.

Reita Ito blocked Scottie Pippen, Kota Mimori and Shinnosuke Kishimoto teamed up to kill Michael Jordan, and Ryumasa took the opportunity to move sideways, and finally got a free space after two sliding steps.

Taking advantage of this fleeting moment, Ryumasa jumped up and shot after receiving a pass from Ayumi Tomimatsu.

At this time, Tony Kukoc came out of the diagonal ground, jumped one step behind Ryuzheng, and tried to use his height and arm length advantage to force the block.

In mid-air, Long Zheng, blessed by the "Celestial Moment", was extremely calm.

After luring Tony Kukoc to foul, Ryu-jeong eliminated the interference of the opposing hitter in the process of falling and forced a shot.

A three-point shot was made, the opponent fouled and added another free throw, and Long Zheng scored four points successfully.

There was no doubt that Ryumasa's free throw hit the basket steadily, and the Japanese national team tied the score.

At 95:95, with 15 seconds left in the game, the Bulls attacked.

......

In the coach's seat, Phil Jackson and Yusaku Ozawa's hearts were raised.

Although nervous, neither coach asked for a timeout.

At this point in the game, they understood that it was useless to ask for a timeout, and it was only up to the players to play.

Whoever can seize the last chance will win the game.

......

B.J. Armstrong dribbled and attacked, fearing that the opponent would use foul tactics on him, and when B.J. Armstrong dribbled halfway through the dribble, he passed the ball to Tony Kukoc, who made the best free throws.

If the opponent is also fouled, if Tony Kukic comes to make a free throw, the team's winning rate will increase a lot.

With a "snap", Tony Kukoc just received a pass from his teammate, and Kota Mimori, who was defending him, immediately fouled him and sent him to the free throw line.

After two steady free throws, the score came to 95:97, and there were 10 seconds left in the game, and the Japanese national team attacked.

Before serving on the sideline of the Japanese national team, Jordan and Pippen found Tony Kukoc, who is 211 cm tall.

Ryumasa, who scored seven points in a row, put a lot of pressure on the two, and they needed Tony Kukoc's help to help defend Ryumasa, stand between Ryumasa and the Japanese national team handler, and disrupt Ryumasa's receiving route.

......

Raita Ito serves on the sideline, with 10 seconds left in the game;

Kota Mimori dribbles forward, and there are 9 seconds left in the game;

Seeing Horace Grant pounce on him ferociously, Kota Mimori passed the ball to Shinnosuke Kishimoto with 7 seconds left on the game time;

Shinnosuke Kishimoto dribbled past half court and began to observe Ryumasa's position and prepare to pass the ball with 5.8 seconds left in the game;

Seeing that Ryumasa, who was sandwiched by Jordan, Pippen, and Tony Kukoc, Kota Mimori, Raita Ito, and Ayumi Tomimatsu rushed towards Ryumasa in unison, ready to cover for Ryumasa, with 4.5 seconds left in the game time;

Kota Mimori, Raita Ito, and Ayumi Tomimatsu rushed head-on, and Tony Kukochi lost his mind for a moment when he saw this scene. Discovering Tony Kukoc's loss of consciousness, Ryuzheng seized the opportunity to endure the severe pain in his body (which can be imagined as the kind of pain that can be imagined) and forcibly started the second phase of the "Moment of the Gods", and forced himself away from Tony Kukoc's side, with 3.7 seconds left in the game time;

Tony Kukoc is two steps away from the left, Long Zheng received a pass from Shinnosuke Kishimoto and jumped up without adjustment, facing the blockade of Jordan and Pippen, Long Zheng firmly threw the basketball in his hand, and the TV camera captured Long Zheng's firm expression when he shot, at this moment, Long Zheng's indomitable image was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts, and there were 2.5 seconds left in the game time;

With a "bang", the basketball penetrated the net, and the referee blew the whistle for the goal, with 1.8 seconds left in the game.

Long Zheng's goal made the scene silent, until Long Zheng raised his hand to signal: he was unable to insist on the game and asked to leave the game, and everyone recovered from the shock.

Looking at Long Zheng, who was helped off the field by his teammates, the audience burst into long-lasting applause.

35 seconds before the end of the game, Long Zheng unbelievably turned around in mid-air and hit a three-point shot;

Fifteen seconds before the end of the game, Long Zheng lured Tony Kukoc to foul and threw a three-point shot, and the three-point shot added another free throw, and Long Zheng scored four points successfully;

1.8 seconds before the end of the game, Long Zheng burst out of the three-man bag and hit a three-point shot against Jordan and Pippen.

At 98:97, in a short time of 33.2 seconds, Long Zheng scored 10 points in a row to help the Japanese national team successfully overtake the score.

......

After Long Zheng left the court, the Bulls decisively called a timeout, and 1.8 seconds is enough for the Bulls to complete a perfect offense, not to mention the positive factors that Long Zheng has been out of the game.

Ryu-masong was helped back to the bench by his teammates, and Hanamichi Sakuragi was the first to rush over. "Captain, are you alright?" Sakuragi Hanamichi still uses the title of captain when he was in Xiangbei to call Long Zheng.

"Sakuragi, don't worry. I'm just physically exhausted. Ryumasa patted Sakuragi on the shoulder, and the sharp pain made Ryumasa grin.

"Coach, let Sakuragi Hanamichi play for me."

Looking at Yusaku Ozawa, Ryumasa interceded for Sakuragi Hanamichi: "I was selected for the national team, and you see that I haven't even earned a minute of playing time now." ”

Regardless of Sakuragi Hanamichi's crampedness, Ryumasa pulled him in front of Yusaku Ozawa.

"Okay!"

Because of Ryumasa's transcendent status in the team, Yusaku Ozawa had to give Ryumasa this face even if he was unwilling, and agreed to let Sakuragi Hanamichi play against his will.

While Yusaku Ozawa was arranging the techniques and tactics, Ryumasa quietly pulled Sakuragi Hanamichi to his side and whispered, "Do you remember the blindfold defense I gave you?" ”

"Blindfold defense?"

Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded repeatedly, "Captain, of course I remember. You ....." Speaking of this, Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Ryumasa suspiciously.

"Wait, if it's a player you're defending shooting, you don't try to block. Remember, use blindfold defense, understand? ”

"Uh-huh." Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was blindly obedient to Ryumasa, nodded repeatedly, "Captain, don't worry, I will use blindfolds to defend." ”

With 1.8 seconds left in the game, that's just enough time for the Bulls to dribble to the front court and shoot three-pointers.

In order to win the game, center Scott Williams was replaced by John Paxson.

Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, John Paxson, Tony Kukoc, B.J. Armstrong, all five of the Bulls have three-point ability.

Sweeping the five players on the field of the Japanese national team one by one, John Paxson, who was in charge of dribbling, had a decision in his mind.

Hearing the referee's whistle, John Paxson received a teammate's sideline serve and immediately dribbled to the frontcourt.

From beyond the three-point line, Michael Jordan received an incomparably accurate pass from John Paxson. In the face of Sakuragi's frontal defense, Jordan showed his best skill - a backward jumper.

The expected cover did not appear, and when he saw the palm that suddenly appeared before his eyes, Jordan's heart fluctuated.

"Not good!"

The moment the basketball left his hand, Jordan had a bad premonition in his heart, turned his head to look at the timer on the sidelines, and the number of zero made Jordan hold back the words "grab rebounds" back to his heart.

"Bell" and "Di", the sound of basketball smashing the basket and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

At the end of the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi's blindfolded defense allowed Jordan's three-point shot to hit the iron, and the Japanese national team magically defeated the Bulls by a point difference of 98-97.

"Yay, we've won!" The players on the field gathered around Sakuragi Hanamichi to celebrate the victory of the game.

The Tokyo Municipal Basketball Stadium shook the crowd and shouted to each other to celebrate the hard-won victory. (To be continued.) )
