Chapter 35: Fight with all your might
At the entrance of the gymnasium of Northeast University of Light Industry, Coach Li brought Xu Lanqing and Gu Yihuai into the stadium, and then let them sit in a row behind the bench.
Xu Lanqing This is the first time to watch his son's game live, and he is still very excited. Gu Yihuai sat next to her and told her about the competition.
Gu Yihuai also felt weird, usually watching the game on the spot, it was all at home, and the whole game was their gang. I feel strong and have a bottom in my heart.
But today on the road, it was completely different, cheering for the opponent all over the field. There are only a few people cheering for the away team, and they feel weak. Gu Yihuai knew that it was not easy to play away games, especially in the devil's home game of Northeast University of Light Industry, it was even more difficult. I couldn't help but wipe my sweat first and pray that I could win today.
In the three games of Southwest Institute of Technology, the students of Northeast Light Industry also watched it, not only the players held their breath and waited for revenge, but these spectators also held their stomachs, waiting to return to the home stadium must be more imposing than the home stadium of Southwest University of Technology. Looking at the momentum of the stands today, it is as if there are tens of thousands of people on the scene.
Gu Yihuai and Xiao Mu discussed together, in fact, today's game can be said to be the only chance for them. If it loses, then Northeast Light Industry will have an even better momentum by taking advantage of the home advantage. And the situation they originally played well may collapse in the end.
Therefore, looking at the players of Southwest Institute of Technology with an advantage, they are also full of momentum. They also have to give their all in this game, and they are all in bets.
The small ceremony before the opening was also in full swing by the Northeast Light Industry, and the brief entrance ceremony was the same as the blockbuster. Every member of the Northeast Light Industry team came on the field, like a hero, with thousands of eyes and cheers. But when the team members of Southwest Institute of Technology entered, they were like rats crossing the street, everyone shouted and booed.
However, this did not affect Xiao Mu and them, they had long expected that they would be treated like this, because they also treated Northeast Light Industry in the home field of Southwest Institute of Technology. Come and don't be rude!
The game started so quickly, and the main players of both teams began to play.
Xiao Mu greeted Han Xiu, and the two high-fived in tacit understanding.
Han Xiu said, "Are you sitting behind a cheerleader?" ”
Xiao Mu smiled, "Family condolence group." ”
Han Xiu was stunned for a moment, "That's right, the game is over, I can comfort you well." ”
Xiao Mu said seriously, "They came here to celebrate for us." ”
"Yes, with such confidence, it may disappoint them."
"Don't worry, it won't."
Tiesi also came over to high-five Xiao Mu, and everyone nodded.
And so the game began.
From the first second of the game, both teams were fully engaged.
After five major battles, both sides had no surprise soldiers and no new tactics, and in the end, they could only play the tactics they were best at. The two teams have won and lost each other in terms of body, skills and tactics, and mentality, and the outcome is really unpredictable.
Han Xiu often sends unimaginable passes, and when you don't pay attention to the angle, as long as there is a little gap, Han Xiu can send the ball over. However, Han Xiu's body was not as strong as Xiao Mu, and his speed was on par with Xiao Mu. Therefore, under Xiao Mu's strict defense, he could only rely on passing to organize the attack, and there were few opportunities for him to shoot. On the other hand, when defending, in the face of Xiao Mu's breakthrough and jump shot, he is still a little powerless, and he often needs other players to assist in defense, which will inevitably lead to vacancy in other positions. Meng Ze or Xu Xiaofan seized the opportunity and scored with a long shot.
Iron Temple is still the overlord under the basket in offense and defense. Therefore, when Southwest Institute of Technology was defending, he had to adopt the "iron fighting tactics", which could not only stop the attack of the Iron Temple, but also consume his physical strength. It's just that he has too many fouls, which also leads to limited playing time for players. In the attack, Southwest Institute of Technology also took advantage of the problem of slow movement and slow turning of the Iron Temple. Lead the Iron Temple to the outside by blocking and dismantling, and then use the breakthrough to hit the empty basket. This also caused the Iron Temple to be exhausted, and it also increased the consumption of physical strength.
Meng Ze and Xu Xiaofan, the two are still the focus of the opponent's attack, Han Xiu often takes advantage of the weakness of the two to organize the team to attack hard, tear a hole from the two of them, and then attack to score.
Both sides have weaknesses, everyone knows each other well, and both use their strengths to attack each other's weaknesses.
After half-time competition, Northeast University of Light Industry temporarily led by 6 points.
At halftime, Coach Li mobilized everyone, "Students, our last moment is coming, and this year's efforts have reached the time of harvest."
Don't put your hopes on the next game, it's today, it's this game. We have to win, there's no next game, that's the last one.
This is the only chance we have to win the championship, only if everyone works together, the championship must be ours.
Think about it, they take advantage of our weakness, take advantage of our physical inferiority to them, and attack us. In this way, a lot of physical energy is bound to be consumed. And we are playing an overall attack, and the physical exertion is not large, but the consumption of Junbei and vigorously is greater when defending.
So, in the second half, we added a little more to them.
In the second half, we picked up the tempo and got them moving. If you can play fast break, you can play fast break, if you can't play fast break, you have to mobilize the opponent's center, and you can't let him stay under the basket. I don't believe him if he must be allowed to run, and see how long he can run. ”
Laughter rang out in the lounge, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Xiao Mu saw everyone's state, although the score is behind now, but everyone has no disappointed expressions, and I believe that they will be able to pull it back in the second half.
SJ's overall physical fitness is only average, and their speed is in the upper middle level, but their technical and tactical skills have always been regarded as one of the best teams in the league.
In the face of Northeast Light Industry, their physical strength is at a disadvantage, while their speed is relatively upwind, and their technical and tactical levels are equal.
Both teams are quite clear about each other's situation, and how to use their strengths and overcome their weaknesses has become the key to the victory of both teams.
So, at the beginning of the second half of the game, both teams wanted to control the pace of the game and controlled the game, so they undoubtedly took the initiative.
Xiao Mu and Han Xiu gradually controlled the ball of their own team, and the play of the two really determined the attack of the two teams.
Once the Northeast Light Industry offensive fails, then Xiao Mu will definitely not let go of this opportunity, he immediately organized a counterattack, resolutely and quickly attacked, and tried to complete the attack before falling into the position.
Gradually, the Iron Temple couldn't keep up with everyone's running, and often came back to defend slowly, so Xiao Mu took Southwest Institute of Technology to end the attack. When he returned to attack, Qin Junbei defended the Iron Temple, and the Iron Temple hit his back, and then turned around and made a jumper. Xiao Mu had already seen that Tiesi's physical strength was declining, so he waited for him to turn around and jump shot. When Xiao Mu saw the moment Tiesi turned around, he immediately rushed over and jumped high. As soon as Tiesi raised the basketball, before he could make a move, he was covered by Xiao Mu from behind.
Xiao Mu played the basketball and immediately dribbled and counterattacked. Han Xiu followed Xiao Mu and stretched out his hand to cut off the ball in Xiao Mu's hand, but he didn't succeed. Xiao Mu shook Han Xiu and dunked the windmill.
As a tall center, Tiesi was blocked by a guard, and he had never been there, he was depressed, and he was even more angry when he saw Xiao Mu dunking under his basket.
In the next offense, Tiesi was mighty, and on Qin Junbei's head, he received Han Xiu's tossed pass, and the aerial relay dunk was successful.
But this kind of attack is rare after this, after all, Tiesi is already physically exhausted, and it is not easy to barely hold on to the field. Even so, Tiesi did not end up, once he was gone, then the offensive and defensive systems of Northeast Light Industry would have a huge impact. As long as Tiesi is standing under the basket, their offense and defense are guaranteed.
Meng Ze and Xu Xiaofan were often broken by the other side when defending, so the two of them used their own offense to make up for it. Meng Ze and Xu Xiaofan took advantage of the vacancy left by the opponent to wrap Xiao Mu and make long shots and breakthroughs one after another.
Xiao Mu also kept scoring, the stronger he was, the stronger the opponent would be, so that Meng Ze and Xu Xiaofan would also have more vacancies. And their successful offense can contain the opponent's defense and reduce the pressure of Xiao Mu's offense. As a result, a virtuous circle was formed, and the attack of SIT was more fluid.
After Xiao Mu, Meng Ze, and Xu Xiaofan took advantage of the decline in the physical strength of the Iron Temple and continued to attack, the score of Southwest Institute of Technology gradually approached that of Northeast Light Industry.
With 5 seconds left before the end of the game, Xiao Mu finally led the team to catch up with the score, and the two teams were tied, but now Northeast Light Industry has the ball. They immediately called a timeout and laid out their final attack.
Coach Li also gathered everyone together and arranged the last defense.
Gu Yihuai looked at the situation on the field, this scene seemed to have been seen, and it was not a once. There had been two nights when she had studied the scene closely, and every detail kept coming to her mind in succession. Yes, some time ago, she had studied this situation carefully for a long time.
Gu Yihuai saw Coach Li drawing on the tactical board, there was no time, she had to make a decision, and she couldn't hesitate any longer.
Gu Yihuai stood up, Xu Lanqing and Lu Yihe were startled and looked at her. I saw Gu Yihuai rush to Coach Li's side, and snatched the tactical board in Coach Li's hand, "I'm sorry, I don't have time now, everyone listen to me," he said, and he had already erased half of the tactical map that Coach Li had arranged, and then arranged it while drawing, "They will definitely stand like this in a while, this is Han Xiu, Tiesi ran from here to here, blocked and dismantled Han Xiu, and then Han Xiu ran here to catch the ball."
When Han Xiu and the Iron Temple were demolished, and Han Xiu ran past the Iron Temple, Meng Ze, you ran to this position from here. ”
Meng Ze interjected, "But there's no one here!" ”
"Don't interject, you just look at it, you start running after they block and dismantle, you can't be early, you can't be late.
Xiao Mu, after you are blocked by the Iron Temple, bypass the Iron Temple from here, continue to chase Han Xiu, do a defensive feint, don't really jump, just scare it, and then don't care about the back, just run directly to the opponent's basket, remember, do a feint, don't stop, just run past Han Xiu.
Meng Ze, you run here, and then you will receive the ball, don't look at it, just pass the ball to the opponent's basket, Xiao Mu will answer, don't pass it too much, and be careful not to let Han Xiu come over and intercept it, a little higher. ”
At this time, the referee had already blown the whistle, and everyone was confused, not knowing whether to listen to the coach or Gu Yihuai. Everyone looked like Xiao Mu and waited for Xiao Mu's instructions.
Xiao Mu walked to the field and said, "I believe in Gu Yihuai." ”
Meng Ze still listened to Xiao Mu, "I believe in you too, boss." ”
Xiao Mu patted Meng Ze on the shoulder, "Pay attention to the rhythm, it's up to you." ”
Meng Ze nodded, "Don't worry, boss." ”
Gu Yihuai embarrassedly handed over the tactical board to Coach Li, "I'm sorry, coach, time is too tight." I'm really sorry! ”
Gu Yihuai didn't wait for the coach to speak, and immediately returned to his seat. I don't know what the result will be, if I make a mistake in judgment, then they must have lost this game. Thinking back to the action just now, it was also a cold sweat.
Lu Yihe looked at her, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
Gu Yihuai's palms were sweaty, "Wait and see." ”
Coach Li took Gu Yihuai and handed over the tactical board, not knowing what to do, whether to reprimand her or forgive her. Am I a coach, or are you a coach? The critical moment came out like this.
Coach Li looked at the position on the field, and suddenly felt as if he was very familiar, and when he looked down at the tactical board, he was immediately dumbfounded. How is it exactly the same as Gu Yihuai's painting!
At this time, the coach was even more nervous, yes, it was not bad at all, everyone's position was the same, as if Gu Yihuai was going to arrange an attack for the opponent.
Looking at all this, Coach Li glanced at Gu Yihuai with horror in his eyes, and he saw that Gu Yihuai was also looking at him, and nodded his head. Coach Li turned around to look at the battle situation on the field, and his hands were shaking unconsciously.
Han Xiu and they have a set of tactics, which they usually don't use, and they only use them at the most critical times, and in the past two years, they have used them no more than three times, each time at a life-and-death juncture. Today is facing the same moment of life and death, and it is the moment when they use the killer weapon. Han Xiu was still quite confident in this set of tactics.
The referee handed the ball to the serving player, and Han Xiu began to run, bypassing the Iron Temple, which took the opportunity to block Xiao Mu, who was following Han Xiu.
At this moment, the serving player passed the ball to Han Xiu. After Han Xiu received the ball, he made a shooting move. He saw that Xiao Mu had already bypassed the Iron Temple and pounced on him.
Han Xiu didn't really shoot, but passed the ball directly to the other side of the baseline. There's a player over there who goes around the baseline and can catch the ball, and this player is a long-range shooter who often practices shooting in this position.
However, Han Xiu found that Xiao Mu only made a symbolic defensive block action. Xiao Mu didn't jump, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he ran past him.
At the same time, Han Xiu also found that on the other side, where there was no one, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking between himself and the receiver. Han Xiu had already realized that the problem was serious, he didn't turn around to chase Xiao Mu, knowing that he was already a step slower, even if he chased back, it would be useless.
So Han Xiu wanted to prevent Meng Ze while Meng Ze received the ball and didn't pass it yet, as long as Meng Ze couldn't pass the ball, at most, everyone would play overtime.
Between the lightning and flint, Han Xiu made a decision and immediately rushed towards Meng Ze, one step away. I saw Meng Ze reaching out to catch the ball and didn't stop to find someone. But just got the ball, didn't even raise his head, didn't even look at it, as if he had a pair of eyes in the back of his head, and threw the ball directly to the front court.
Han Xiu was still a step slower, and at this step, he didn't block Meng Ze's pass. Just one step away, he watched the ball fly overhead.
Han Xiu stood still, and when he turned around to look, Xiao Mu had already received the ball and scored a layup.
There was silence in the stands, except for cheers from the Southwest Tech bench. The players hugged each other and celebrated, it was a magical goal.
At the same time, all the team members of Southwest Institute of Technology gave Gu Yihuai a thumbs up, and Lu Yihe and Xu Lanqing also hugged Gu Yihuai and laughed.
Xiao Mu immediately gathered everyone, "The game is not over yet, there are still 0.6 seconds left." They're messed up now, but we have to be careful and defend the last ball. ”
There is no pause in Northeast Light Industry, and everyone has to play the last 0.6 seconds. Han Xiu stabilized his teammates' emotions, although he was a little confused now, but there was still one last ray of life, and he couldn't help but reminisce.
Han Xiu shouted loudly to his teammates to motivate everyone.
Southwest Institute of Technology, Xiao Mu also shouted, "Defense!" Defend! He knows that the opponent has no tactics anymore, only to catch the ball and shoot.
So Xiao Mu stared at Han Xiu tightly, and it was still the Iron Temple that kept Xiao Mu for Han Xiu.
Xiao Mu was also on guard, he bypassed the Iron Temple, but there was no way to stop Han Xiu from catching the ball.
Fortunately, Meng Ze also knew that they were most likely to hand over the ball to Han Xiu, so he had already prepared, and when he saw that the Iron Temple was blocking and dismantling Han Xiu, he immediately came over to make up for Han Xiu.
Han Xiu caught the ball, Meng Ze was already standing in front of him, and he had already jumped high to block it. At this time, Han Xiu was only just over half, but he didn't have time to let him dribble, and he didn't even have time to make a feint to shake Meng Ze.
With only 0.6 seconds, he could only jump and shoot. Meng Ze was originally taller than Han Xiu, and this jump directly blocked Han Xiu's vision. Han Xiu knew that if he shot normally, Meng Ze would definitely block it, so he adjusted the arc of his shot.
Meng Ze didn't touch the basketball, and fortunately he didn't foul him. The moment Han Xiu made his move, the timer of the game jumped to 0. The time for the game is gone, but the game is still not over, and the basketball is still flying.
The eyes of everyone in the audience looked at the basketball flying in the air, only to see that the basketball was at the end of the crossbow, and finally it had fallen a little distance from the basket, and it had not even touched the basket. At this time, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Southwest Institute of Technology won the game and won the finals of this year.
After the game, everyone ran over and high-fived Gu Yihuai for the first time, thanking this heroine who refused to let the coach go. Even Coach Li went over, high-fived Gu Yihuai, and gave her a thumbs up.
Han Xiu just high-fived Xiao Mu in celebration, and didn't say much.
The grand award ceremony was a bit deserted, there were not many spectators in the stands, and the few who were left were all indifferent.
Only the members of the Southwest Institute of Technology and their families were elated. No matter how deserted or jealous they are in the stands, they can get enough of it first.
Everyone lifted the Grand Final trophy and kissed it.
The Most Valuable Player of this year's finals naturally belongs to Xiao Mu.
The joy of the harvest was not only on the podium, but also on the campus of Southwest Institute of Technology, thousands of miles away.
When they left the stadium and took the bus back to the hotel, Xiao Mu's mobile phone rang.
Xiao Mu took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a text message from Han Xiu: "I originally wanted to draw a perfect end to my college basketball, but it turned out to be a mess for your kid." After I graduate, you kid will be the brightest boy on the college basketball court, and this will be your world from now on. But don't be too happy, I'll be waiting for you in the Pro League in two years' time. Train well and don't let me down! Good bye! ”
"Okay, goodbye!"
