Chapter 23: The Last Ball
At the end of the game, the coaches and players on the benches of both teams stood up involuntarily, and even many people in the audience stood up and watched the game nervously.
Wang Dao also stood, and he undoubtedly felt pleasantly surprised that the Taoyuan team had equalized in such a short time, and his face no longer concealed his emotions; And Zhang Fei, who was originally weak beside him, was also stimulated at this time as if he had regained his strength, and even stood up with him.
Even at the moment of standing up, he turned his head sideways and glanced at Wang Dao who was not aware of it with strange eyes, he never thought that Wang Dao's words just now would actually come true, the result of the game was not destined after he was off, they really still had a chance, and Sun Qian let him see familiar things, just like when he saw He Jing earlier.
The Sanfeng team asked for a timeout, and the players on the field of the Taoyuan team naturally had to return to the bench, and they were welcomed like heroes, especially Sun Gan, everyone was really surprised and delighted by his sudden outburst, even more than Zhang Fei before, after all, Zhang Fei is actually a newcomer in the team, and he has only played nearly two months and just over ten games, and everyone is not strictly familiar with him; But Sun Qian is different, he is a sophomore in high school this year, and he played the starting role not long after he first entered the school team in his first year of high school, and everyone knows how many pounds and taels he has for so long, no matter who he is, he will never think that one day he will be able to play such a strength in a game.
The Sanfeng team may use the mentality of premature relaxation and lack of concentration as an excuse, but they will not think that this will be the reason, because in the past, it was difficult for Sun Qian to grasp such an opportunity, and now he is a little different from him.
In fact, at this point, many people have some speculations in their hearts, although they are not as sure as Zhang Fei, but now that is the only explanation, not to mention that in their impressions, they have heard of someone who suddenly "had an epiphany" during the game, maybe Sun Qian is one of them.
The first thing to ask was Li Zhe: "Sun Qian, are you ......?"
Although he didn't finish speaking, perhaps because he was worried that he would expect too much and then turn into disappointment, his obvious glance at Zhang Fei was equivalent to telling everyone what he wanted to say.
Sun Qian sat down and took a sip of the water handed over by Zhang Fei, glanced at Li Zhe, and then looked at the others who were also full of expectations, he didn't sell it, but he didn't say much, just nodded and spit out two words: "Eagle Eye......"
Everyone immediately understood, especially when they noticed that his eyes had indeed become a little special, at this time the eyeballs were almost shrunk, and there were a lot of whites in his eyes, which looked a little weird and a little scary.
Wang Dao calmed down first, lowered his voice but still tried his best to make it hearable to everyone, and said: "It's good that we know it ourselves, don't leak it out now, and when Sun Qian comes on the field later, you will surprise them again." ”
Seeing Wang Dao smiling so treacherously, the players also snickered, at this time, in addition to Zhang Fei and Sun Qian, who already had a certain impression of Wang Dao, others also felt that Wang Dao with such an image suddenly became much closer and more pleasing to the eye, at least it was easier for them to like the old man who always had a straight face and did not smile.
In fact, Wang Dao had been a little hanging in his heart just now, until he got Sun Gan's confirmation at this moment, and finally made up his mind, if he still expected just now, or maybe, then now he is sure that the ending will be good.
Of course, you can't be careless, after all, the game is not at the end of the moment, and nothing can be said for sure.
This time, Wang Dao ordered the next tactics, nothing to say, and directly sacrificed the "shark cut", but he was also prepared with both hands, after all, he had let the other party have a lesson from the past, and at this time, it would not be strange for the other coach's coach to replace He Jing, who was already in a tired state, so he also asked the players to do a good job of defending first, but it was really not good or they could only foul.
After the timeout, the game was returned to the game, and the players from both sides were again in good spirits.
Because it just ended with Sun Qian's attack on Taoyuan's side, this time it was still an offensive opportunity for the Sanfeng team, and the head coach of the Sanfeng team really replaced He Jing on the field, and the Taoyuan team naturally had to give up the means and stabilize the defense.
This time, the Sanfeng team played very patiently, especially the defense of the Taoyuan team was very entangled, they didn't get enough good opportunities, and they actually started to play fast transfer balls, and finally when there were less than six seconds left, Guo Xi, who was in a hurry, did not control the foul for a while, and sent Ren Kui to the free throw line.
Wang Dao on the sidelines was terrible when he saw this, he looked at the head coach of the Sanfeng team opposite, the other party actually happened to look at him, and smiled at him, Wang Dao also smiled, but it was a bitter smile, because he found that he was still too tender, and now he was robbed by the other party, and took the initiative again, and it was troublesome.
Ren Kui hit both free throws and opened the score again.
Wang Dao couldn't say anything when he saw this, it was impossible to scold Guo Xi, and he didn't have time to blame himself, at this point, he could only call another timeout, ready to arrange this last attack.
"For the next shot, I decided to hit a catch-and-shoot three." Looking at the five main players of the team who gathered around, Wang Dao did not hesitate to express his thoughts in a deep voice.
Sun Qian hesitated for a moment before saying: "Wouldn't this be too risky, we don't have a real three-point player in the team, but the middle distance will be more certain, and the five of us have a distance basket in one hand." ”
Wang Dao said with a helpless expression: "Do you think they will give us a good chance?" Instead, outside the three-point line, they may ...... No, it will be overlooked. ”
And he still has an unfinished sentence, there is not enough time, the most sure layup under the basket will not work, the opponent is likely to shrink the defensive line, and Wang Dao is very sure that even if they intend to pay attention, the Sanfeng team's defense outside the three-point line will actually be a weak link, which has been shown before, Zhang Fei*** Ren Kui's three points can not be regarded as too unexpected, because the Sanfeng team's attention to outside the three-point line has always been very low, at least in this game where the Taoyuan team's offensive performance is so poor, They still allowed Taoyuan to make six three-pointers, five more in the first half.
Sun Gan nodded, admitting that Wang Dao's concerns were right, and asked, "Then who will carry out the last ball?" ”
Wang Dao hesitated for a moment, and finally set his eyes on Yuan Zi: "Can I trust you?" ”
This Yuan Zi has scored 14 points, including three of five three-point shots, he is the most reliable three-point point on the court in the Taoyuan team now, although as Sun Qian said, in fact, he is not a real three-point player, but he feels good on the outside today, and as long as he can get a good enough open three-point opportunity, his shooting percentage can ensure that he has a great chance of hitting that shot, the biggest question is whether he can have enough big heart to complete this projection in the current environment and atmosphere.
Basketball games have both physical pressure, and many times it is heavier than the mental pressure, and most of the time the mental pressure felt by the players will feel greater, and even overwhelmed and crushed.
Of course, there are also some players who seem to be born for the big scene, they have a big heart, the more critical the last moment, the more when they need to perform, the better their performance is, and the more active they are, "Mr. Key" and "The King of Lore" are the best praise for this kind of people.
The reason why Wang Dao did not choose Sun Gan, but chose Yuanzi, in addition to the direct gap in the three-point ability of the two, is also because Sun Gan is likely to become the opponent's focus on defensive targets after his previous performance, he can in turn as an important containment point to create opportunities for other teammates, but his own offense will face greater defensive pressure, otherwise Sun Gan's character is undoubtedly more suitable as the team's "Mr. Key" at this time.
When Yuan Zi heard Wang Dao's words, he did feel pressure in his heart, but he looked at the people around him, then at Sun Qian, and at Zhang Fei, who also looked at him, and he still nodded heavily.
"Okay, then let's wait for the serve, Li Zhe, you will pass it directly to Yuanzi's hand, if Yuanzi has a good opportunity, you can adjust it and shoot immediately, don't care about the time; But if it doesn't work, then you pass the ball to Sun Gan and he will handle it. Don't forget to run and he might pass it back to you...... Of course, other people should not stand still, but also actively run and cooperate with them, do you understand? ”
"Got it!"
