Chapter 30: The boat capsized in the gutter
With a day off, the second game of the finals began.
Today there were no bells and whistles at the beginning, as soon as the players entered, they went straight to the game.
After the last game, the players of both sides are already very familiar, and there is no temptation to start the first game.
Southwest Tech is still defending the Iron Temple, using fast movement to make up for the gaps left by the bag. And offensively, it's still a double-block tactic.
Northeast University of Light Industry has made some changes in defense, and they have also strengthened their running, especially in the face of double blocking, they will take a step back to prevent Meng Ze from breaking through, which also gives Meng Ze a chance to score three points. Moreover, some times today, after Qin Junbei blocked and demolished, he did not immediately go to do a double block and dismantle for Meng Ze, but stood in place. At this time, Han Xiu had been blocked by Qin Junbei, and Tiesi thought that he was going to move sideways with Qin Junbei, so he didn't defend Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu took advantage of this gap and scored three points.
The offensive change of Southwest Institute of Technology still dealt a heavy blow to Northeast Light Industry. Under the leadership of Xiao Mu, their offense was varied, so that Northeast Light Industry could not find a way to deal with it.
The Northeast Light Industry finally found that if they continued to fight like this, they would still be more than lucky today. So in the second half, they completely changed their tactics.
They should use offense to make up for the lack of defense.
In the second half, they took advantage of Meng Ze and Xu Xiaofan's relatively thin bodies and beat the two of them with their bodies. Achieved good results, tearing the defense from the two of them in quick succession to score.
However, Southwest Institute of Technology could not replace the two of them, and in that case, Southwest Technology's offense would also be affected.
The two teams are like this, you score a goal, I score a goal, and no one can stop anyone.
Han Xiu played quite well today, in addition to various scoring methods, he also showed his excellent passing skills and broad vision.
Han Xiu also used the tall body of the Iron Temple to block and dismantle, and then saw the right time, either jumping up for three points or breaking through for a layup. Xiao Mu was blocked by the iron tower of the Iron Temple, and there was no good way.
Sometimes, Han Jian looked at the bottom line and pointed to the position of the Iron Temple, and suddenly passed the ball to the other side, where there was exactly an empty position, and the three points were won.
Xiao Mu was also shocked by Han Xiu's overall view, and he could only play with the spirit of twelve points and try to limit Han Xiu's scoring and passing.
However, Southwest Institute of Technology could not stop the attack of the Iron Temple.
Although Southwest Institute of Technology adopted the tactics of encircling and trapping, the Iron Temple was too fierce, especially when they lost the first game, and they were beaten by others at home. Tiesi held his breath, and he didn't wait for a while at this time.
I saw Tiesi squeeze his big ass hard under the basket. Qin Junbei used his strength to push the Iron Temple outward. Often with a feint in the Iron Temple, Qin Junbei loses the favorable terrain and is occupied by the Iron Temple, so there is no matter of Qin Junbei, and he can only watch the Iron Temple dunk and score.
Xiao Mu saw that it was not possible to fight hard with Tiesi, and immediately brought a fast pace, and after five rounds of back and forth in Tiesi, he was physically exhausted, and his offensive efficiency also fell.
Northeast Light Industry hurriedly suspended and let the Iron Temple take a break.
The two teams battled wits and courage, alternated leads, and played until halfway through the fourth quarter, and they have not yet opened the score.
Han Xiu broke through with the ball, Xiao Mu never lost his defensive position, forcing Han Xiu to dribble to the bottom line. Suddenly, Han Xiu passed the ball behind his back and threw the ball high. I saw Tiesi jumping high behind him, grabbing the ball with both hands and dunking it into the basket.
The whole audience was boiling and cheering, this goal can definitely enter the top ten of the season.
Xiao Mu took the ball, faced Han Xiu's defense, made two feints in a row, and then rushed straight to the basket, jumped up in the face of Tiesi to block, Xiao Mu came to a beautiful lever, from the other end of the basket, and scored a layup.
The spectators in the stands were stunned.
Han Xiu then drifted sideways and scored with a shot.
Xiao Mu made a breakthrough and then made a quick stop, and then stepped back to shoot three points.
The two sides are still drawn, but time is running out.
Now the ball is in the hands of Southwest Institute of Technology, there are still 30 seconds left, and after they attack, Northeast Light Industry has another chance to attack.
Chen Ye served, and the opponent used the tactics of pressing all over the court. Han Xiu followed Xiao Mu closely, not leaving a single step. Xiao Mu wanted to get rid of Han Xiu several times so that he could catch the ball, but he didn't succeed.
Time was running out, Xu Xiaofan also ran a big lap, and then came over to catch the ball, Chen Ye had no choice but to hand the ball to Xu Xiaofan.
Xu Xiaofan has always received and shot, and rarely attacks with the ball, so dribbling has never been his strong point. This is exactly the result that Northeast Light Industry wants to make. They stared at Xiao Mu and Meng Ze, deliberately letting Xu Xiaofan catch the ball.
When Xu Xiaofan just dribbled, the players defending Chen Ye also rushed over and wrapped Xu Xiaofan.
Xu Xiaofan faced the bag, it was not half a half, and time was running out, so he hurriedly shot and passed.
The ball was directly stolen by Han Xiu, counterattacked with the ball, and went straight to the basket.
Chen Ye had no choice but to foul.
Han Xiu hit both free throws to give him a two-point lead.
This round took only 12 seconds, and there were 18 seconds left.
A mistake, a foul, to the chagrin of Southwest Tech. What was originally active has now become very passive.
Coach Lee called a timeout to calm everyone down and plan the next attack.
Their tactics are very simple, the main thing is how to let Xiao Mu get the ball.
It was still Chen Ye who served, Qin Junbei came over to block Xiao Mu, and Xiao Mu was finally able to get the ball.
Seeing Xiao Mu get the ball, Northeast Light Industry withdrew its own half and did its best to defend the last ball.
Will Xiao Mu choose to play alone or pass the ball out, whether to score two points and then enter overtime, or to shoot three points to directly decide the winner?
The audience was silent, and it seemed that everyone could hear their own heartbeat.
Han Xiu defended Xiao Mu and followed very closely, Xiao Mu had no chance at all. So, Xiao Mu passed the ball to Meng Ze, originally wanting to let Meng Ze go over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Meng Ze got the ball, the players who immediately defended Meng Ze pounced on Meng Ze and didn't give him any time to react at all. Meng Ze hurriedly made a feint, trying to deceive the opponent, but the opponent seemed to be on guard, and stretched out his hand and slapped the ball down. Both fell to the floor, scrambling for basketball.
In the end, they were touched out of the sideline by Meng Ze, and this time it became the ball of Northeast Light Industry, and they still had a two-point advantage.
Meng Ze was very angry about his mistake, and everyone came over to comfort him.
But time was running out, only 6 seconds.
The only hope is to foul first, and then expect the opponent to miss the free throw, and they still have a chance to live.
Northeast University of Light Industry has replaced Tiesi with players who are more accurate in free throws.
The opponent served, Han Xiu ran over to catch the ball, but Xiao Mu couldn't let him catch the ball, if Han Xiu was allowed to make free throws, then they basically had no hope of winning.
Han Xiu saw that he had no way to get rid of Xiao Mu, so he immediately called another timeout.
Both sides are arranging a last-ditch effort.
Tiesi was replaced again, and then Han Xiu served, his teammates ran, and Tiesi suddenly rushed in front of Han Xiu, his tall body blocked everyone else. Han Xiu threw the ball to the Iron Temple, the Iron Temple didn't pick it up at all, as if the two were playing a game, the Iron Temple used his big hand and flicked it with one hand, the ball didn't stay in his hand at all, and Qin Junbei didn't have time to foul at all. At this time, the ball had already returned to Han Xiu's hand. Xiao Mu had no choice but to hug Han Xiu.
Han Xiu hit both free throws, with only 2 seconds to go, leading by 4 points.
This is the end of the game, and Southwest Institute of Technology unfortunately loses the game.
It was just two mistakes in the final moments that ruined the effort of the whole game.
At the end of the game, Xiao Mu also walked towards Han Xiu and high-fived, "I had a good time playing today, but it's a pity that you won in the end." ”
Han Xiu laughed, "These last two balls can see the difference in strength, you still need to exercise." ”
"Don't rejoice too soon, we don't know who will kill the deer."
"You don't cry when you don't see the coffin."
The two laughed and broke up, "Qingyang is waiting for you." ”
"See you or leave!"
After the loss, everyone was frustrated. In the locker room, there was only the sound of everyone changing clothes, and no one spoke.
Xiao Mu smiled, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it just that we lost a game, everyone think about it, in fact, we played very well today, but at the last critical moment, we still lacked experience, so we lost the game.
We have always thought that our strength is very different from theirs. In the last victory, everyone thought that we suddenly used a secret weapon to win against them, and if we played normally, we would definitely be as vulnerable as last year. But if you think about it today, we will almost defeat them with our strength. We fought with them with real guns, there was no opportunism, just with real skills, we were a little bit of experience, a little bit of luck.
So, I think we got a lot out of the day, at least, let me know that we can get back to home next game and we have every chance of beating them. ”
The coach also added with a smile, "Xiao Mu is quite right, today you are the best game this year, except for the last two mistakes." You've never had such a crucial ball before, and you're going to be nervous. Judging from the handling of the last few balls, we still lack experience and the more you experience now, the more it will help us in the future. I'm sure we're going to get better and better, and when we get back at home, we'll be able to play well.
Moreover, we have a point at the home of Northeast Light Industry, we have successfully completed the task, do you still have the luxury of winning two games in a row at their home stadium? Be content, lads. ”
A few words, so that everyone's atmosphere is alive again.
Meng Ze also angrily said that his mistakes, everyone's confidence has returned, looking forward to returning to the home stadium and must take revenge.
Xu Xiaofan was silent, packing up his things, Xiao Mu knew that he would not be soft next time.
When the whole team returned to Southwest Institute of Technology after a few hours of flight, they were warmly welcomed by their classmates and teachers. After all, it is not easy to get a point from the devil's home field of Northeast University of Light Industry.
Gu Yihuai also came to pick up Xiao Mu, and when he saw them get out of the car, he was surrounded by the school's leaders and classmates, and Gu Yihuai didn't squeeze in, but waited quietly outside.
The leaders shook hands with the coaches one by one, each of them encouraged them, and finally chatted with Xiao Mu for a while.
After saying that it was over, Xiao Mu and the others fled the scene.
Gu Yihuai looked at Xiao Mu with a smile, "You are a news figure, the leaders are very concerned, and they have been chatting with you for a longer time than Coach Li." ”
Xiao Mu hurriedly glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense, let people hear, I still don't play." ”
Gu Yihuai looked at Xiao Mu in surprise, "Look at you, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you still so bold." ”
"Let's go, go back and lie down for a while, this plane is too tiring."
"Okay, let's go back and rest, after dinner in the evening, let's go to the training hall."
"Okay, there's a lot of lessons to make up." Xiao Mu looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Of course, you haven't been to class in days." Gu Yihuai smiled mysteriously, "And I have other things to discuss with you." ”
Xiao Mu looked at Gu Yihuai's mysterious look, "What the hell is going on?" So mysterious. ”
"I won't tell you, let's go."
"Why don't you go now, you're halfway through that, how can I still sleep."
"I won't tell you, let's talk about it in the evening, I still have classes, so I'll go first. Bye! ”
"You little girl." Xiao Mu looked at Gu Yihuai's thin back, very helpless.
After dinner, in the conference room of the training hall, Xiao Mu and Gu Yihuai looked at the game video on the computer.
Gu Yihuai said, "You see, I have been studying the competition video of Northeast Light Industry these days. ”
Then Gu Yihuai showed Xiao Mu a few edited game videos.
Xiao Mu gave a thumbs up to Gu Yihuai, "It's amazing, I can edit videos now." ”
Gu Yihuai raised his head, "Meaningless." Sister has more important discoveries. ”
Then show these videos to Xiao Mu in turn, "Can you see any rules?" ”
Xiao Mu studied for a while, and suddenly said in surprise, "I'll go, how did you find out, some of these are the games from a few years ago." ”
Gu Yihuai smiled, "I've watched all the videos of their league, how about it?" How to reward me. ”
Xiao Mu kissed Gu Yihuai's face, "It's good to have a good wife at home!" ”
"Go, go." Gu Yihuai's face turned red.
Xiao Mu carefully studied the video Gu Yihuai gave him, thinking about something.
Gu Yihuai said, "You played at a super level in the last game, I'm afraid that in the next head-on fight, you will still be more than lucky." Is there any way to do it? ”
"The coach has already figured out the tactics for the next game, so I don't know what the outcome will be. It's quite dangerous to fight normally, but this time it's also dangerous. ”
"If you change first, you will have the first opportunity, and it is better than waiting to be passive without changing." Gu Yihuai is in favor of changing tactics.
"I see that you also have the potential to be a coach, how about hiring you as an assistant coach in the future?"
"If I become a teaching assistant, will you listen to me in the future?"
"I've always listened to you, whether you're a teaching assistant or not."
Gu Yihuai was embarrassed again.
