That's the charm of basketball, never give up until the last second.

Even though the Duke coaching staff has given up the game by default, the Duke players are still doing their best to complete every offense, every defense, and every run.

Thanks to his efforts, Duke managed to maintain the point difference, but at the cost of 2 minutes of time, there were only three minutes left in the game, and the difference was still 11 points.

With the same point difference, the situation is much more dire now than it was 2 minutes ago, and there really isn't much time left for Duke University.

Although Tony was targeted, it opened the door for him to play the game, and his playmaking ability is one of the best among interior players, and he can always use his height advantage to find the most suitable teammates on the court.

If Tony took the initiative to attack, Mu Chenfeng had already thought of a complete coping strategy to ensure that nothing went wrong, but when he used his "height advantage" to play, Mu Chenfeng didn't seem to have much to do, he could only watch him pass the ball out, and his teammates also lived up to the trust, and hit the shot, and the score difference returned to single digits.

The single-digit and double-digit margin of points can be hope and despair in a basketball game, and when Duke's players saw the hope of chasing points, all members cheered up again, one by one, like tigers, as long as they got the basketball, they would hit UCLA's interior line, either scoring or causing damage.

The sudden change in rhythm made UCLA's position a little flustered, and Duke took this opportunity to chase consecutive points, and the 11-point advantage of Kung Fu in the blink of an eye was eroded to only 5 points, and both sides had no chance to take a timeout, and everything on the court could only be controlled by the players themselves.

The UCLA coach is not worried about this, because Oscar's role in the team is also an assistant coach, and he knows very well what tactics to use and what to change.

Oscar, like a coach standing on the court, can dispatch his teammates at any time, which saves Coach Barton a lot of trouble, and what is even more commendable is that Oscar is going further and further on the road of "coaching", he is a rare genius with both ball intelligence and ball skills.

Oscar led the team to defend the final lead, but Duke's counterattack momentum was really fast, frequently causing damage to UCLA's interior line, Damian and Marek's two interior fouls were well controlled throughout the game, but in the last few minutes, under Duke's impact, both received their fourth fouls, and only one more foul will be sent off.

After Tony scored "2+1" under the basket, Damian received his fifth foul and graduated successfully, but unfortunately Toney's free throws were not made, and the rebound was stabilized by Oscar.

With only one minute left in the game, UCLA was only three points ahead.

"Hold it for me." The situation on the court was white-hot, and there was a fierce confrontation from the moment the baseline serve, but at this time, the referee's whistle did not sound again, even if there was a physical transition between the two sides.

This is the "unspoken" rule on the basketball court, when it comes to the decisive moment, it should be up to the players themselves to decide whether the game is won or lost, not the referee's whistle, so the referee completely let go of the scale of the game at the last minute, as long as there is no physical conflict, slight confrontation is allowed.

Both sides presented the most intense final minute for the crowd, and both teams put up a very high level of defense and successfully limited the opponent's attack, but this situation was definitely in UCLA's favor, but it was not what Duke wanted, and they desperately needed to score when they were behind.

The difference of 3 points is easy to chase, and it is difficult to chase.

Duke has a lot of offensive options, you can shoot a three-pointer so you can drag the game into overtime, or you can choose to score two points and then foul the opponent, bet on the opponent's free throw touch, and then score.

Either way, Duke is in a very passive position.

UCLA's defensive pressure was not small, and Damian's departure completely collapsed their strongest fortress, leaving one Marek to support him, and although he was a little alone, he still did his best.

"I'll take care of the UCLA basket!" Marek even used up the last of his stamina to prevent the opponent from scoring.

This is just a group game that doesn't even matter, and it was forced to be played by the two teams to the taste of the finals, and the smell of hu0ya0 that permeated the stadium even spread to the audience, and the fan camps of the two teams also began to "attack" each other, and the stadium was instantly lively with a fryer.

Someone said excitedly, "This is a scene that can only be seen in the finals, and I hope that the two teams can meet again in the finals, and the game will be even better than now." ”

If you want to play a good game, it is not enough to have a strong team, only the strength of both sides of the game can play a good game between the two players.

UCLA and Duke did it, and there are only a handful of teams across the league that can play such a sparkling game.

Duke's first choice is to grab 2 points first, which is a choice that most teams will make, Marek has already committed 4 fouls, in order to prevent another foul, the ball is "conceded", Duke is almost no different from the sky blue, no one blames Marek for this ball, because everyone will make the same choice as him in this situation, compared to 5 fouls to leave, it is worth staying on the court.

After the goal, Duke immediately fouled the UCLA players, but unfortunately the basketball just fell into the hands of Oscar, his free throw shooting rate has always been higher than 82.5%, quite a good shooting rate, there are so many players in the NCAA, there is no difference between sending them to the free throw line and sending them points, the steady shot is terrible, and the more critical the critical moment, the higher the accuracy.

Oscar is one of them.

Oscar walked to the free throw line and, as usual, adjusted his breathing, locked the basket, lifted the ball and hit it steadily.

Two free throws, the same thing.

The margin was back to three points again, leaving Duke with only one chance left to attack.

They have no choice.

"Defend three points, play two points and don't foul." Without Barton to speak, Oscar made a defensive arrangement for the players on the court, all of them overwhelmed the three-point line, and even Marek raised the defense.

I can take two points casually, but I can't do it if I want three points.

UCLA pressed all of Duke's players one step away from the three-point line, and even if they shot a three-pointer at this distance, the shooting percentage could not be guaranteed, which was the safest distance, as long as they prevented this ball, UCLA could win the last group game, lock up the top spot in the group, and advance to the knockout round.

If you can't hold it, the two teams will go to extra time, and at that time, it will be difficult to say who will lose and who will win.

At present, Duke University is gaining momentum, and if it enters overtime with such a momentum gap, UCLA will not have much chance of winning.

Therefore, it is resolute not to play overtime.

Two points don't mean anything to Duke unless he can cause a foul when he shoots, but Oscar has already accounted for the team, so the possibility of a foul is almost non-existent.

Then, you can only shoot threes.

Duke gave the basketball to the team's most stable three-point shooter through bumpy passes, and the opponent deceived the UCLA defenders with a false feint, and a stabbing step forward, a stop-and-go jump shot, Oscar, Mu Chenfeng, Felix, Marek, the four decisively gave up their defenders, and at the same time rushed towards the pitcher, and they were able to be "favored" by the defense of the opponent's four at the same time, and there were few in the league.

"Is it too late?" A strange smile appeared on Tony's lips.

The opponent grabs a quick shot before the four-man defense is in place, which is his killer weapon, and the quick shot is to advance his shooting timing, so that he can throw the ball out before the defenders are in place, which can avoid being interfered with, but at the same time, there are certain drawbacks, due to the blind pursuit of the speed of the shot, the time left for the pitcher to adjust and aim is very short, unless it is specially practiced to shoot quickly, otherwise it is difficult to ensure the quality of the shot.

However, judging from the opponent's shot, the opponent is not a half-ass, his quick shot is crisp and neat, which is obviously the result of practice.

"I didn't want to be exposed so early, but I couldn't help it." The other party said confidently after making a move.

The basketball managed to avoid the defense and flew towards the basket.

Swish~

The basketball landed in the basket with no mistake!

"Entered?"

"It's going to be overtime."

"You can get in!"

The goal here is like a pebble thrown into the sea, without causing any waves, even ripples, and some are just the uncharacteristically calm of the audience.

“yes！” The Duke pitcher raised his arms and shouted, this was a hit after a "one-five", and most importantly, it was a life-saving three-pointer.

"Toot!" The referee said that the basketball was made at the same time as the halftime whistle and the goal was valid.

Duke's half was in jubilation, and they knew that if they played overtime, the advantage was all on their side.

UCLA's half-court was silent, and the players looked at the referee standing in front of the scoring table and arguing, the last ball was crucial, and the referee needed to give the most correct decision through technical defense.

This goal is scored and the score is already a sure thing.

The key is the score of this goal.

The score on the scoreboard remained unchanged at 96:93 in red, with UCLA leading by three points.

After some discussion, the referee gave the result.

The score numbers on the scoreboard begin to pop.

96:94！

Seeing that the score should change, the Duke team members also had a bottom in their hearts, so they gathered around to discuss waiting for the overtime to be played.

96:95！

Duke's score continues to rise, and even the UCLA players are starting to prepare for overtime, although they don't want to, after losing Damian, UCLA's interior strength has plummeted, and Marek's foul count is not good, UCLA's interior is in a hurry, and the opponent is a lineup specifically for the interior, UCLA will be very passive in overtime.

96:95！

The red score hasn't changed for a while.
