Chapter 11 Possession

The arena is a cruel place, because there will be winners and losers, there will be joy and pain, there will be smiles and tears.

The ending here must be a mixture of joy and bitterness......

However, Addison didn't want to be the one to taste the pain tonight, and even if he shed tears, he would never shed tears with astringent taste. He's the man who wants to bring the championship trophy back to his alma mater.

And once Addison was determined to win, there were few times when he didn't succeed. At least in the NCAA league, this sentence can still be fulfilled.

Now, for example, with less than two minutes left until the end of the 2014 NCAA Finals, Duke leads by 14 points at 70-56.

The stadium was still reverberating with excited cheers, but the voices were clearly made by Duke University fans, and the blue sea rolled over the high-pitched waves, venting their ecstasy and fiery.

Most of the Connecticut fans sat in their seats with sluggish or frustrated expressions, they had lost their previous fighting spirit and fanaticism, as if they had extinguished the light, leaving only the ethereal and dying smoke.

Many of the female students at UConn have shed tears and watched their teams crumble and become unstoppable in front of their opponents, which is beyond their bottom line.

Even with nearly 120 seconds to go, anyone could tell that UConn had no chance, and no one but Napier thought they could pull back the 14-point deficit.

"Well, this may be the most suspenseful NCAA Finals in recent years, and the whole Kangda is in a suppressed state, and the score difference has not been narrowed to less than 5 points." Bill. Wharton scratched his cheek, and he couldn't describe this kind of scene with more brilliant words, "There are still two minutes until the end of the game, maybe Kangda has one last chance to fight-"

"No, they don't have a chance." Hubi. Brown interrupted his partner's comment, which the wise and calm old man rarely did, "Duke's rhythm is unusually stable, and Kangda can't find a chance to disrupt it right now." No matter what level of the game, if you want to turn the game around in the final quarter, you have to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and now that Kangda's own rhythm is controlled by Duke, they can't find a chance to counterattack at all. ”

The old man's eyes were as tightly fixed as eagle falcons on the thin brown-haired figure in the arena, and for the first time, his face couldn't help but show surprise: "I have to sigh again Addison's ability to control the scene, there are few point guards at his age who can control the rhythm of both sides of the enemy...... Believe me, not even CP3 in his rookie season could do that.

"Addison also had a lot of weaknesses, weaknesses of his own. But in an area where a point guard has to excel, he does so much more than I can imagine, far more. "Hubby. Brown's voice was thrilled, as if he had discovered a novel species that he had never seen in his extensive experience.

Shabazz. Napier dribbled in front of the three-point line, not daring to wipe the sweat from his hands, desperately looking for an opportunity to do the damage.

The brown-haired Chinese in front of him still chose to stand one step ahead of the three-point line, pulling a pair of hazy eyes and looking expressionless, but the firm stance and slender arm span made Napier feel desperate.

Napier eventually opted for cover, but Jabari . Parker's ability to move far beyond the average No. 4 position kept him out of the three-second zone. The somewhat impatient Kang core directly chose to pass back, and the pass, which was not calm, was easily cut off by Addison, who went around to Lillson.

Duke's counterattack unfolded with the ball, and shooting guard Petz shook off Portlett, who was no longer on the court, and rushed to the frontcourt, followed closely by two members of the UConn team, not wanting Duke's quick counterattack to succeed.

However, after intercepting the basketball, Addison didn't care about how many players in front of him blocked him, waved his right forearm, and threw the ball towards the opponent's half court with a shake of his wrist.

Addison never cares about the distance, the cramped space of the court, or the sight in front of him, and he can deliver the basketball to any corner of the court if he wants to. He's a point guard, and passing is what he does best, and Addison has a paranoid self-confidence at this point.

“Oh,mygod!!!” Many of the spectators exclaimed at the long ball, and it was clear that Addison's risky behavior kept their brains spinning for a while.

Follow Corey. Behind Petts is the UC forward Nils. Giffey turned to disrupt the dangerous pass, but the reddish-brown ball grazed his outstretched fingers and headed for Petz, who had already crossed the three-point line.

No way, all of Addison's passing balls are in-spin, and the hidden arc brought out by the rotation is as if it was accurately calculated every time, which can avoid the opponent's interception and come to the target of his choice.

Petts received this comfortable long pass, jumped up in full force in front of the empty box, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands. Behind him were Giffy, who couldn't intercept and had a depressed expression, and Portlet, who looked numb.

“Whatalongpass!!! Whatadunk!!! The DJ roared desperately, and Addison's brilliant offensive with his teammates drove him into a frenzy, at least from this point of view, he had become a Duke fan.

The dunk was a complete defeat for Kangda, and Napier's team completely lost the will and fighting spirit to continue fighting. In turn, Napier's unreasonable forced breakthrough was caused by Addison, and the frustrated point guard almost got into an argument with the referee, but fortunately his teammates pulled him away.

The head coach of Kangda also took this opportunity to replace all the main players, and the difference of about a minute and 16 points was enough for him to admit defeat. Even for Napier's next draft pick, he won't let his core on the court anymore and continue his irrational offensive behavior.

The Duke crowd in the audience has already begun to celebrate the fifth NCAA championship in the school's history, and in the front row of the audience is NFL supernova Jersey. Granger and his new girlfriend, who he doesn't know how many times he is, staged a French kiss, using this ambiguous scene to celebrate the victory of his friend Addison in the finals (which is probably understandable...... )。

A minute passed quickly under the see-saw that the two sides were no longer hostile, and finally the UConn bench shooting guard hit the inside frame with a large three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and Addison, who was on the spot, rushed over and jumped high to pick up his sixth rebound of the game.

The electronic beep sounded sharply at the end of the game, and Addison threw the basketball in his hand into the air, then raised his arms with a smile on his face, enjoying the shouts and cheers from the crowd of Duke's hugs.
