Chapter 34: The Great Breakthrough
Brush~
The Santa Cruz Warriors hit a three-pointer to bring the deficit back to 30 points.
"See, Chinese boy, it turns out that your efforts have been in vain!" Marcus. Fetzel said loudly to Tang Qian.
Hmph, in vain? Really? You'll get the idea right away, Marcus. Fetzel !!
"Harris, the next ball is going to get to me anyway, remember, I have a way for us to win." Tang Qian ran to the front court while talking to the defender's point guard Manny. Harris said.
"What? Winning? Hot, I didn't hear it wrong, did I? We're already 30 points down and you're still thinking about winning? "Manny. Harris was slightly stunned and said casually.
"What does it matter if you score 30 points, as long as you get him, the Santa Cruz Warriors are just an empty shelf." Tang Qiandao.
"Get him? You mean Marcus. Fetzel? You're not kidding, are you? I'll admit that the rest of the Santa Cruz Warriors are very average, but the question is, how do you get him? Who's going to get him? ”
"Of course it's me." Tang Qian replied bluntly.
"You?" Manny. Harris glanced at Tang Qian a few times, then shook his head and said, "Hot, your ability is indeed good, Brandon. Costner is not as good as you. But you know Marcus. Who is Fetzel? He's a former NBA player, not in the same order of magnitude as Brandon. ”
Manny. The subconscious meaning of Harris's words is, don't tease buddy, Brandon is not as good as you, and you are not as good as Marcus.
"Harris, don't you say he's a former NBA player?" Tang Qian looked at Manny. Harris said: "Since it is before, it means that it is not now, and now Marcus. Fetzel is just like us and is a member of the NBDL league. ”
"Well, hot, even if you're right, but what about his abilities? How do you fix it? I don't think you can take advantage of him! ”
"That's right." For the facts, Tang Qian does not deny it, after all, Marcus. Fetzel was also a generation of talents back then, and with so many years of experience in basketball, he has long been "ripe", which no one can deny.
"Then how are you going to get him???" Manny. Harris said a little speechless.
He thought Tang Qian was joking with him.
"No matter how strong his ability is, if he is not on the field, I am afraid he can only 'look at the ocean and sigh'." Tang Qian's eyes burned.
"Looking at the ocean and sighing? What does that mean? Is it Chinese 'English' again? ”
"No, it's a Chinese idiom, Harris, which means that he, Marcus, can only be anxious and staring."
"Really? What a strange way of thinking in China! "Manny. Harris obviously still didn't understand the meaning of this "looking at the ocean and sighing", and finally could only shake his head and open his mouth and say: "Then what can be done to make Marcus 'look at the ocean and sigh'?" ”
"It's simple, you'll find out right away."
The corners of Tang Qian's mouth curved, and a cold light loomed.
“pass!”
Since he had just promised Tang Qian, this ball was even very reluctant. Harris still hoisted it into the inside, and Tang Qian jumped up and almost failed to catch the ball.
"Stinky boy, do you still want to be one-on-one with me? Do you think the referee will take care of you every time? "Marcus. Fetzel saw that Tang Qian was still going to fight himself, and said extremely unhappily.
"Less nonsense, didn't I say it! Tonight, we defenders, must win! ”
"Win? What do you take to win? Do you think you can fill the gap of 30 points with your words? Idiot! Marcus was extremely contemptuous of Tang Qian's "delusions", because according to him, with a 30-point lead, the game had already ended early.
"Hmph, who's the idiot, you'll know." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he didn't make any preparations, and took the basketball and went to the Santa Cruz Warriors' restricted area.
"Stupid Chinese, you think such a lame move can be used on me a second time???" Marcus. As if he had been prepared, Fetzel immediately retreated, blocking Tang Qian's offensive line.
For Marcus. Fetzer's defensive skills, Tang Qian has already learned it, so the former's movements, in his opinion, are not surprising.
Anyway, I don't plan to hide, if you don't stick to me, I'll be worried!
Tang Qian's actions, in the eyes of insiders, are "nonsense", that is "blind fighting", but Phil. Hubbard didn't stop Tang Qian, he looked through the round lenses, and the light in his eyes gradually brightened.
This Chinese kid, not bad.
Phil. Hubbard said in his heart.
Tang Qian killed in the crowd!
But he had no intention of passing the ball at all, as if in his eyes, only the Santa Cruz Warriors' basket was left.
"Chinese boy, you are too arrogant! This way of attacking is simply an insult to our Warriors' interior line!! ”
"Elliott, you go to the left, let's give him a 'shut-off dog'!"
"Don't worry, Marcus, this kid is attacking like this, it's clear that he looks down on us, this ball must be given some color to him!"
"That's right, the Chinese are all 'stubborn fools', don't teach them a lesson, they still think this is a table tennis court!"
Tang Qian turned a deaf ear to the conversation between the two people, because his purpose was not to score.
"Damn, referee, didn't you see the foul?" Seeing Tang Qian's basketball finally get off the cover, Manny. Harris hurriedly complained to the referee.
But for Manny. Harris's complaints, the referee did not heed, and the penalty was still executed in front of the court.
"Hot, what the hell is your plan? If we don't take it out, we'll be doomed! "Manny. Harris walked over to Tang Qian's side and said.
"Don't worry, there's still a lot of time, as long as you do it in this section, it's done." Tang Qian re-established himself on the inside lane of the Warriors.
"I hope so." Seeing that Tang Qian had been refusing to speak, Manny. Harris doesn't care, anyway, he didn't plan to win this game.
Beep~
Defender's frontcourt ball.
"Give it to me!"
Tang Qian slashed out of the oblique stab and raised his hand.
Forget it, it's up to you to figure out what else you can do!
Manny. Harris sent the ball directly to Tang Qian from the bottom line, who knew that Tang Qian had just gotten the ball, and it was a "repeat of the old trick", without saying a word, he decisively killed the Santa Cruz Warriors' inside line.
Still coming?
Is this Chinese kid crazy?
Seeing Tang Qian rushing over again, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Marcus and Elliott at the same time.
What kind of play is this?
Is your head programmed out of order?
But surprise is surprise, what should be guarded is still to be guarded, since this Chinese kid is so "stubborn", I am not afraid of too many blocks tonight, this kind of thing, for defenders, of course, is not too much.
If you are willing to send it, I will naturally be willing to cover it! Who thinks they have a lot of stats when they play in the NBDL?
Marcus. Fetzel didn't expect what Tang Qian's abacus was at all, and after a few seconds, he finally understood.
This kid doesn't seem to be heading for the basket? Instead, it's like ......
Coming for yourself?
Coming for yourself???
Marcus suddenly caught something, but Tang Qian's attack did not allow him to think about it, and with a stroke of attention, Tang Qian's goal was achieved.
Beep~
"Warriors fouled No. 21 defensively, two free throws."
The referee's whistle finally woke up Marcus's head, Marcus first looked at Tang Qian's successful expression, and then turned his head to look at the big screen, his face turned pale.
five!
This is Marcus. Fitzel's foul stats for this game, a bright red one-five, let Marcus. Fetzelton understood Tang Qian's "tricks" and "intentions".
"Damn it, Chinese boy, did you do it on purpose?"
Marcus, who was relieved, looked at Tang Qian and said loudly.
"That's right, Mr. Marcus, but it's a pity that you're too late." Tang Qian smiled politely.
It can be seen from his smile that at this moment, Tang Qian is in a good mood.
Although his body was hit and hurt because he barely broke through, as long as he could get "Mr. Marcus" off the field, the pain would be worth it.
Five fouls, with a little more than a quarter remaining, Marcus . Fitzel had to take an early break.
"Chinese boy, you dare to calculate me, you wait for me! I'll pick you up when I come up in the fourth quarter!! "Marcus. Not surprisingly, Fetzel was temporarily replaced by the head coach of the Santa Cruz Warriors.
"Hehe, Mr. Marcus, when you come back, the situation will have changed a long time ago." Tang Qian said in the direction of Marcus's exit.
"Good guy, hot, you really have a set, you really got Marcus down, amazing!" Seeing that Tang Qian fulfilled his words, Manny. Harris was both surprised and admired.
"It's nothing, Marcus is not the Marcus of the year after all, he is old, the speed of lateral movement must slow down, plus the Santa Cruz Warriors' outside defense is average, so I can let go of him and form an impact on him. This kind of thing, as long as you want to do it, you can do it, right? ”
Tang Qian's words, let Manny. Harris was a little difficult to answer, and in good conscience, the latter's breakthrough was good, at least Ronnie of the Santa Cruz Warriors. Brewer would have had a hard time killing him. So if he is resolute enough and has a strong desire to win, then this task of killing the opponent's interior line should be entrusted to him to complete. It's a pity, Manny. Harris doesn't have the motivation or the desire, because the Santa Cruz Warriors are weak on the outside, but Marcus on the inside is extremely strong. Comparing his body, he was afraid that he would rush in and confront Marcus directly and get injured. As an NBDL athlete, the salary is small, and once injured, the salary may be wasted for several years. In addition, if you are injured, there will be a series of chain reactions, such as changes in the status of the team, such as the state of the comeback, such as the decline in physical value, and so on. Harris is a native of 1989 and is not yet 23 years old this year, so he still has certain illusions about his future.
So hurt this kind of thing, it's Manny. Harris is the most taboo, and at the same time, the most "respectful" thing.
Why is this Chinese, he is not afraid?
Is he a fool???
"Alright, Harris, Marcus has gone down to stay, let's start fighting back now."
"Hmm." Manny. Harris seemed to be thinking about something, and replied to Tang Qian's words, "pitifully few."
Facts have proved that Tang Qian's observation is not wrong, after the Santa Cruz Warriors lacked Marcus to operate, the overall level immediately plummeted, and the defenders took the opportunity to launch a wave of 21 to 3 attacks.
"Great! This wave of attacks is so cool! After the Santa Cruz Warriors sought a timeout, the defender's "senator" Gamario . Moon exclaimed.
"That's right, it looks like our defenders are also full of strength!" Defenders of scoring guard Karim. Rush followed.
"One more small climax, you can kill their 'warriors', hahahaha!" This is the defender's starting small forward Andre. Ingram.
"Hot, how is your physical strength? Need a break? "The head coach of the Defenders, Phil. Hubbard Road.
"No, Mr. Hubbard, I'm having a lot of energy." Tang Qian shook his head and refused.
"Well, hot, I see, I can see that you don't have the natural physical defects of Asian athletes, you are very good, different from your compatriot Yao."
"Mr. Hubbard, you have an overreputation, I am still far from Yao, if I were him, wouldn't it be easy and pleasant to beat a mere Marcus?" Tang Qian shook his head with regret.
"It doesn't matter, it's hot, Yao is also growing up slowly, I think he just came to the United States back then, it seems that he swallowed a 'duck egg' in the first game, right?"
"Oh, Mr. Hubbard actually knows about 'swallowing duck eggs'?" Tang Qian said in surprise.
"Of course, of course, I've heard Li say this word several times, and I thought it was interesting at the time, so I wrote it down."
"It's hot, I appreciate your desire to win, but the approach is a little extreme, like the kind of play just now, it's better to use less in the future, in case you get hurt, it's not cost-effective."
"Well, Mr. Hubbard, thank you, I'll remember, but this game, I must win!"
The flame of victory on Tang Qian's face was extremely strong.
The game continued with the final five minutes of the fourth quarter when Marcus . Fitzel is finally back on the scene.
With the "roar" of Warriors head coach Trich, the final battle between the two teams began.
Thanks to Marcus. With the return of Fetzer, the Santa Cruz Warriors, who had been scattered before, suddenly found their backbone, and both offense and defense gradually returned to normal.
"Chinese boy, your show is over." Marcus looked at Tang Qian and said.
"Yes, Mr. Marcus, please look at the score, a four-point difference, it can be reversed in the blink of an eye." Tang Qian didn't mean to show weakness, and his words were extremely sarcastic.
"Hmph, is there still a 4-point advantage? That's enough! Chinese boy, I'm not going to let you win tonight! ”
"Okay, then let's see the real chapter under our hands!"
In the last five minutes, the game heated up, and the two sides went back and forth, fighting happily.
Marcus and Tang Qian both gave up their main offense, but instead started to do the strategy and the big axis, the other players of the two teams, one after another, scored one after another, and by the end of the game, the Santa Cruz Warriors still had a 3-point lead, but fortunately, the offensive ball was on the side of the Los Angeles Defenders.
This is the time to test the resistance of both sides, and whoever can't hold back first will "fall short".
"Try to hit the ball inside, and if there is an open space on the outside, you must also shoot decisively!" Phil. Hubbard is laying out the final tactical lane.
"Defend the inside, but don't miss the three points, as long as we survive this last minute, the victory will be ours! f.uck!!! Let me all play!! ”
That's what Warriors head coach Trich ordered.
"Chinese boy, you can't win! Victory will be with us Santa Cruz warriors! Marcus demonstrated as soon as he came up.
"More than 30 points have caught up, is there still 3 points missing? There is only one winner tonight, and that is our Los Angeles Defenders! Tang Qian replied forcefully.
Unconsciously, this ordinary NBDL regular season game has been upgraded in intensity, and it is no worse than its playoffs.
The game was exciting and intense, and the emotions of the audience gradually surged, and for a while, the entire small gymnasium was full of people, and the decibel was at least more than three percent higher than the front.
The defenders attacked, and Tang Qian pulled the high post to block and dismantle Harris, but the experienced Marcus did not eat this set, and directly stuck to Tang Qian, so that the quality of the entire high post blocking and dismantling declined rapidly. As soon as Harris saw that Don couldn't steal and dismantle, he bent over and broke through, and when he was about to step into the Warriors' restricted area, he passed the basketball in his hand to the left 45-degree outside the three-point line. And there, standing, is the starting small forward of the Defenders, Andre. Ingram. Ingram has a three-point range, so after receiving the ball, he immediately jumped out of his hand, but unfortunately the power of the ball was slightly lacking.
"Rebound!"
"My !!" Tang Qian roared.
"Don't dream, stinky boy, I won't give you !!" Marcus. Fetzel also squeezed over, and Tang Qian fiercely competed for the favorable position under the basket.
"This ball...... It's mine!! ”
Don exploded with potential, tough against the strong Marcus, and barely grabbed this offensive rebound.
"Cast it!!"
Tang Qian threw the ball back to the outside line and shouted loudly at the same time.
Or Andrey. Ingram, who didn't miss his three-point shot this time, landed a solid three-point shot into the Warriors' hoop.
Tie!
"Daniel, it's up to you!" Marcus played a long ball to Daniel in front of him. Alton, Daniel lived up to expectations, against the defenders' defense, and made a mid-range shot.
The Warriors are leading again.
Damn it!
Tang Qian scolded and helped Manny. Harris blocked a solid shot, and Harris returned a mid-range shot.
Tied again.
With less than 15 seconds left, in such a short period of time, it is almost impossible for whoever scores first to win tonight.
PS: Tang Qian is going to be strengthened again, let's smash the ticket~~~
