Chapter 17: Falling Behind (Signing a Contract!) )

(After receiving a backstage notification on March 23 that my work can be signed.) After a week, the formalities were finally completed. I'm in a good mood today, add a new chapter to cheer for myself! )

Reggie, the coach of the Broncos, loudly cheered for his younger brother who was attacking with the ball on the sidelines. "Derek, kill him." Reggie has always thought that his younger brother is too humble on the field. In the crucial moments, he needs to step up and control the game because he has that quality.

Snyder stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, and he knew Sun Yi's physical data well, and he was very much looking forward to what kind of performance this kid could have at the last moment of the game today. I hope that the facts will prove that their efforts are in the right direction.

Sun Yi stared closely at Derek, who was dribbling, hoping to find clues from the opponent's eyes or other parts to judge the opponent's attack direction.

Smack! Derrick was seen to lower his center of gravity and hold the ball to himself. Sun Yi subconsciously retreated half a step, leaving enough space for himself to guard against the opponent's breakthrough. It's not good, I suddenly have a bad premonition in my heart.

As if to prove this feeling, the opponent suddenly made a move outside the three-point line. Although Derrick's shooting is not as high as Sun Yi's jump, it is better than the speed of his shot, which is also difficult to block.

The parabola of the ball in the air is slightly flat, but it spins violently. Sun Yi dropped Derrick after the shot, turned around and ran to the basket to grab a defensive rebound.

Bang bang bang! The ball hit the blue neck and did not pop up, but collided in the hoops in a row very quickly. Finally, after the ball has released all its kinetic energy, it falls weakly towards the net bag.

Three points! Ball in! After scoring, Derek excitedly raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers. Obviously, he was usually low-key, but he was forced to go all out by the strong opponent opposite.

Reggie, the coach on the sidelines, was very satisfied with his brother's performance. "Well done, you should do it, blow him up." While cheering loudly for his brother, he high-fived him with his fist.

Jenny, who had been silent for most of the game, temporarily got rid of the problems that had been bothering her and threw herself into the wonderful game. At Derek, who was retreating into the half, he swung his fist hard.

Sun Yi looked up at the score and trailed by six points at 63:69. With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game, he hurriedly urged his teammates to hurry up and serve.

Sun Yi, who dribbled past half the court, did not rush to shoot. Instead, he carefully observed the opponent's defensive posture and found that the opponent's defensive range had expanded greatly. Obviously, they are not going to allow themselves to have an easy shot on the perimeter.

After another 10 seconds, Sun Yi accelerated the rhythm of the dribble, made a change of direction to break through, suddenly pulled the ball back with a step back, his legs were slightly bent, and his left hand was closed to the right hand of the dribble ready to protect the ball and shoot.

Derek, who has suffered a loss once, how can he let Sun Yi succeed again. The moment the opponent pulled the ball and retreated, he immediately pounced. Seeing Sun Yi grabbing the ball with both hands, he immediately jumped to block it.

Derek, who was in the air, was surprised to find. The opponent's left hand was about to get the ball, and it was natural to shake it off, Sun Yi used a feint to successfully trick the opponent and immediately accelerated to break through, because his speed was too fast, the other defenders of the Broncos did not have time to return to the basket to defend.

An easy layup was scored, and he was still four points behind. Sun Yi quickly retreated to his own half, and the other teammates scored for this wonderful breakthrough and high-fived Sun Yi in celebration. He shouted at his teammates with a calm face, "Pay attention to defense, protect the rebounds." "After getting a positive response from my teammates, I focused my attention on the number one player who was moving forward with the ball.

Derek quickly adjusted his emotions and calmly accepted the fact that he had been deceived. Four points ahead with 1:10 to go. He decided to let the attack go and wait until the end of the 30-second attack time to make a move.

Seeing the opponent dribbling the ball steadily, Sun Yi had no better way for a while. Derrick took the time well and took a step from beyond the three-point line as the offensive time was about to run out. He felt good after the ball and if it went in, it would kill the game.

While everyone was nervously staring at the ball flying in the air, Sun Yi quietly ran towards the opponent's half. In fact, no one paid attention to Sun Yi at this time.

Except for Doni on the sidelines. Bowers, who is well-informed, has already understood Sun Yi's intentions. What a smart kid, it's rare to be able to think about the game so clearly at the end of the game.

The ball didn't end up in the net as Derek had hoped. The ball smashed in front of the hoop landed right in the hands of the Red Hawks. "Pass, here." The players who heard Sun Yi's shouting immediately threw the basketball in their hands to the empty front court.

",." Derek, who rarely spoke foul language, watched Sun Yi score a slam dunk easily, and couldn't wait to slap himself twice.

Sun Yi, who completed this attack, returned to the half court out of breath. Every breath was accompanied by a tingling pain in his lungs, and he bit his lips tightly, and when the taste buds on the tip of his tongue felt the fishy astringency in his mouth, he finally straightened up his somewhat loose waist. I'm going to win this game.

The Redhawks took just four seconds to attack, 67-69, trailing by two points with 34 seconds left in the game. The atmosphere of the stadium once again fell into a climax. It is rare for the audience to see a game in which the level is so high and the strength of the two sides is equal.

Derek took a deep breath, suppressing the feeling of excitement from the crowd on the sidelines. Calm down, be sure to be calm. I'm going to make the right choice and lead my team to beat the opposition.

While dribbling, Derek watched the game time. When the offensive time was about to end, several large crotch dribbles in a row, almost shaking Sun Yi, who had been fighting until now, his calf and stomach were already a little weak.

Derek, who managed to fool his opponent's center of gravity, burst into a pull-up jump shot near the free throw line. All the spectators who supported the Red Hawks hardly dared to watch if this goal went in. The gap widened to four points, and there was not enough time left to attack.

The ball, which everyone was staring at, smashed into the neck of the basket again. The ball bounced high, and people's eyes were unconsciously drawn by the beating ball in the air.

Seeing that Derek couldn't shoot, he didn't have a regretful or regretful expression. Instead, he ran to the landing point of the basketball and pounced. I've got to get this ball. Derek, who made up his mind, only had the basketball dancing in the air in his eyes at this time.

Sun Yi was secretly relieved when he saw that the opponent couldn't shoot. But seeing Derek's sudden acceleration towards the basketball, he hurriedly dragged his somewhat tired legs to follow.

Near where the basketball landed, there happened to be a Red Hawks player. When he was about to win this precious rebound steadily, he suddenly felt the wind behind him and subconsciously made a position move.

With his eyes firmly on the ball, Derek's muscles tensed all his body and burst out all his strength, jumping high and trying to get the ball. Just as his fingertips were about to touch the ball, his body in the air unexpectedly lost his balance. The whole person was horizontal in the air and smashed to the ground.

It turned out that Derek, who was bent on grabbing the ball, did not see the defenders in the card position in front of him. After jumping upward, the body touched the opponent, and the body that was weak in the air suddenly lost its balance.

Having said all this, it was actually only a matter of a moment. Sun Yi, who followed Derek, unexpectedly caught the ball that the opponent did not grasp steadily. If a fast attack is launched at this time, the opponent's empty half will allow Sun Yi to gallop at will.

Sun Yi, who caught the basketball with one hand, did not dribble the ball to the opponent's half. Instead, he did his best to hug Derek, who was out of balance in the air. Due to his lack of physical strength, Sun Yi did not hug the other party, but was fiercely crushed to the ground by the falling Derek.

Derek with a meat pad. Rose, fortunately dodging the danger of being injured, patted his chest with palpitations. Hey! It's so soft underground. Looking down, I realized the situation under him, Sun Yi, who was rolling his eyes on the ground, was firmly grasping the ball with his left hand.

The referee noticed signs of injury and immediately stopped the game. watched Sun Yi stagger to his feet and signaled to the referee that there was nothing wrong with him. Derek, who had already understood what had happened, followed the audience to send applause to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi, who had the opportunity to tie the score at the last moment of the game, took the initiative to give up this rare opportunity in order not to let the opponent get injured. This kind of plot is too much in line with Lao Mei's taste, and even many viewers ran to the court to line up and hug him after seeing that Sun Yi was fine. And some fans with low tear points choked up and cried directly.

Jenny wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and made up her mind. Don't see him again in the future, if you meet him again, I'm afraid I will fall hopelessly in love with this oriental boy.

Sun Wenyuan and his wife and Anna's hearts hung for Sun Yi, and after seeing him beckoning to him with a smile, they were down-to-earth. What a silly brother, but I really like your performance. The girl thought sweetly in her heart.

Derek was relieved to see that Sun Yi was fine. He didn't talk much, and gratefully hugged the Oriental boy who was almost injured for him. The audience on the sidelines also gave warm applause to the two of them for hugging.

"Thank you, man. However, as a sign of respect to you, I will do my best to defend our hoop for the rest of the game. Derek said firmly in Sun Yi's ear.

Sun Yi was not angry at the other party's words, because he had already heard the sincerity of these words. Easily patted Derek's shoulder, with an expression that I am very optimistic about you, making the other party look helpless.

After order was restored on the court, the referee signaled for the game to continue. Because Sun Yi controlled the ball in the end, he awarded the ball to the Red Eagles midfielder to serve.

The atmosphere in the stadium became even more suffocating as the game continued. Taking advantage of the intermission of the game, Sun Yi regained a little physical strength. Standing in the opponent's half, he found that there was another player besides Derek.

Obviously, the opponent didn't want to give themselves a chance to catch the ball. Looking at the players of his own side who served, Sun Yi accelerated to meet him.
