Chapter 80: Eleven-Minute Decisive Battle
Coach Scred called a timeout, and there were eleven minutes left until the end of the game......
"We're going to send the starting team in a moment!" Coach Chris looked at the substitutes and smiled slightly, "You guys just played great!" I'm satisfied! β
Verdon also smiled when he saw Coach Chris's smile, "Actually, I could be better!" β
Coach Chris heard Verdon's words and laughed, "Boy, you have courage, but I want you to rest better, you've done enough!" β
Verdon nodded and didn't say anything anymore, he knew that in the end of the game, it still depended on Meng Xiaohao, not only because Coach Chris trusted him, but also because of Meng Xiaohao's own strength.
"We'll go back in a while, we have to defend well, the intensity of the defense must be strengthened, especially against Sivir and Edik, it must be strengthened! We've been letting the two of them do whatever they want for too long! Coach Chris patted the tactical board in his hand and said.
The crowd nodded.
"We have to play out our offense, we have to not only defend, but also open up, but I believe that there shouldn't be any big problems in attack!" Coach Chris said, looking at Meng Xiaohao.
Meng Xiaohao smiled "hehe", "That's natural, don't worry, in terms of offense, you will definitely be satisfied!" β
Coach Chris nodded, UCLA's offense, he still hasn't been worried.
"That's good! Lads! With the final eleven minutes to go, I hope you guys put your best foot foot forward and snap the University of Oregon winning streak! β

"Never give up!"
β¦β¦
The timeout is over, and the game continues!
Both sides have switched back to the starting lineup, and it seems that a big battle is coming.
The audience present saw that both sides sent out the starting lineups, and they all began to cheer, this long tug-of-war is about to start the final battle, and who will die is about to be revealed.
The atmosphere of the game was ignited instantly......
Looking at such enthusiastic fans, Meng Xiaohao smiled slightly, "Since you are so enthusiastic, then we must win this game!" β
Sarid nodded, "We can't let the fans down!" β
Sivir and Edik looked in the direction of Meng Xiaohao and Sarid......
"We're on a fifteen-game winning streak, we're just two wins in a row from North Carolina's seventeen-game winning streak, we can't afford to be here and we're going to win!"
Both sides had reasons not to lose, and the god-killing momentum emanated from the players of both teams......
University of Oregon Ball Possession.
Sivier came to the front court with the ball, called a power forward pick-and-roll, and then hung Saves on the pick-and-roll, leaving him behind.
But now, it was Sabonis who appeared in front of Siwell, and this blocking of Sivir turned into a change of defense.
Sabonis directly blocked Sivir's breakthrough route, and if Sivir wants to break through, he must have a physical confrontation, although Sivir's body is not inferior to Sabonis, and even much better than Sabonis.
But Sivier clearly didn't want to make physical contact with Sabonis, so he turned around and then stepped back to put Sabonis two steps away.
Sivir shot, the ball hit, and two points were in hand.
The University of Oregon stretched the score to two points.
Siwell's step back was too fast and abrupt, so Sabonis had no room to react, and when Sabonis reacted, Sivier was already about to start shooting, so Sabonis could only watch as Siavier scored the ball.
Sabonis looked back at Meng Xiaohao and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had no choice but to do so.
Meng Xiaohao stepped forward and patted Sabonis on the shoulder, "It's okay, I don't blame you!" β
Looking back, UCLA's ball possession, Meng Xiaohao came to the front court with the ball.
Meng Xiaohao didn't stop the ball in his hand for too long in the front court, but passed the ball to Sabonis.
At this point, the UCLA players instantly dispersed to the sideline, making room for Sabonis to play the opposing defender alone.
After receiving the ball, Sabonis turned and hit the defender twice, then turned around and hit the defender to the basket.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the defenders immediately followed......
Sabonis came to the basket, relied on footwork and feints, directly pointed the defender, and then scored a two-point shot.
After the goal, Sabonis stared at Sivir, "Since you scored from me, then I will use the score to pull the score back!" β
Siwell saw Sabonis staring at him, and guessed Sabonis's psychology to seven or eight points, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "There are still a lot of interesting people in the UCLA team!" β
The game continues......
The next few rounds, as before, were the same, neither side could pull the score apart, one side scored, the other team scored, the two sides had the lead for each other, but the difference was always small......
Time passes slowly......
Just watched Meng Xiaohao hold the ball, speed up past the defenders, and then directly threw the ball upward, only to see Sured rush to the horse, jump high, hold the ball in his hand, and dunk the ball into the basket through Edik.
Turning around, Sivier relied on the pick-and-roll to break through the interior and directly attract the defense of three UCLA players, the former was quick to pass the ball to the shooting guard in the open corner of the corner, and the latter received the ball, made a three-point shot, and hit the ball.
Both sides are attacking frantically.
UCLA is the toughest team the University of Oregon has faced so far, and although Meng Xiaohao was injured in their first meeting, UCLA still made the University of Oregon very uncomfortable before Meng Xiaohao's injury.
Now, no exception, the University of Oregon still doesn't have any advantage over UCLA.
"UCLA is tough!" Looking at the score that never stretched, the University of Oregon point guard complained.
Throughout the game, the point guard of the University of Oregon has been pressed and beaten by Meng Xiaohao, and Meng Xiaohao's strength is too strong, which makes the traditional point guard of the University of Oregon play a headache.
At this time, Eddick came to his side, "Of course, if UCLA doesn't have the strength, then how can this game be so much attention?" β
Suddenly, Edik's face became serious, "Don't worry, we'll win!" β
After a few more rounds, the scores of the two sides were still scorching, and this brutal tug-of-war made the hearts of every player on the court very tormented as time went on.
There are a minute and a half left until the end of the game......
Meng Xiaohao attacked with the ball, came to the front court and called a block, hung the defender on the block, and then directly rushed into the inside, in the face of Edik's supplemental defense, Meng Xiaohao did not choose to play strongly, but chose to slow down suddenly, and then threw the ball in.
At this point, UCLA had already taken a two-point lead.
But the University of Oregon immediately returned the color, and the ball changed hands through multiple hands until it ended up in Eddick's hand.
In this game, Edik's performance was also very good, he continued to let Sured suffer at his hands, and this time, it was no exception.
It was as if Eddick got the ball, hit Sured with a hard back, then pushed him up, then turned around and sent the ball to the basket with a hook hand.
The score was tied again, and there were fifty-two seconds left until the end of the game.
The two sides had two more offensive rounds, both scored each other, and the score still did not pull away.
Twenty-five seconds to go......
UCLA's possession, Meng Xiaohao came to the front court with the ball.
The University of Oregon's defense suddenly strengthened, and took a trap measure against Meng Xiaohao, allowing the point guard and point guard to double pack Meng Xiaohao.
Suddenly, Meng Xiaohao was a little overwhelmed in an instant, he saw Li who was in an empty position on the side, Meng Xiaohao didn't have any thoughts, and directly chose to pass the ball to Li.
Seeing this, Sivir sneered twice......
"I'm waiting for you!"
It turned out that Sivir had already guessed that Meng Xiaohao would pass the ball to Li, and he had already ambushed the passing route one step in advance, and as soon as Meng Xiaohao's ball came out, he jumped and broke the ball directly in his hand.
Siwell, who broke the ball, did not hesitate, started directly, and rushed out with a "rub", leaving all the defenders behind......
Sivir ran to the front, unguarded, and smashed with both hands!
The University of Oregon had a two-point lead, fifteen seconds to go.
The players from the University of Oregon on the field ran to Siwell's side and surrounded him, and Eddick rubbed Siwell's head excitedly......
"Well done!"
At this time, Siwell's eyes were fixed on Meng Xiaohao, who had a gloomy face......
"Meng Xiaohao, let me see what you do!"
