Chapter 181: Overtime
At 9:51 a.m., Xiangbei trailed Hakata by 69 points to 73 points, and the scoreboard on the court was still at 1 minute and 49 seconds, that is, 18 minutes and 11 seconds had passed in the second half. At the same time, Xiangbei's starting point guard Miyagi Ryota was injured and was carried to the infirmary for emergency treatment.
At 9:53, Xiangbei and Hakata all returned to the field, and Mu Dui Gongyan replaced Miyagi Ryota to go into battle, although Xiangbei made supplementary adjustments to the personnel in time, but the fate of Miyagi Ryota still had a great impact on Xiangbei.
In the second half of 18 minutes and 33 seconds, Hakata advanced with all his members, the ball was transmitted from the outside to the inside, and relying on a wave of baskets, Hakata scored two points. With less than 100 seconds left before the end of the game, the situation was full of twists and turns, and in an instant, Xiangbei was in danger.
Mu Du temporarily replaced Miyagi's point guard position, dribbling the ball, this senior was still a small forward in Xiangbei when he played last winter, when he was only 175 cm tall, similar to half a year ago, last year's Xiangbei team lineup and employment were very embarrassing, and this summer is completely different.
This summer, Xiangbei suddenly ushered in two super newcomers with considerable potential, coupled with the return of Mitsui, Mu Du thought to himself, there is no such combination as this year to have the opportunity to realize Akagi's ambitions, and now, from the stage of dominating the country, there is only today's final battle.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Du Gongyan is full of expectations for today's game. Even if Miyagi left the scene, Mu Dui, who was in a leather robe, was still high-spirited, and at this moment, no one wanted to leave with regrets.
Ki Twilight dribbled across the half court and quickly passed the ball to the waiting Fuji.
Fuji stood there and looked around, his teammates scattered and stood apart, pulling Hakata's formation very loosely. In front of him was Ida, and not far away was Akira Hirako, vigilant of every movement of Fuji. Hakata understands that now will be the last fight of Xiangbei, as long as they are prevented, they will win.
Fuji's blatant gaze looked like he was looking at the passing position, and he stood there for a full five seconds without looking at his men's dribbling, as if his eyes had taken off the basketball. Date caught this scene in her eyes, and at one point suddenly tried to cut off the ball in her second hand.
Basketball was already close at hand, and Date even had a smile that would only come after a win. But at this moment, Fuji, whose eyes were not on the ball at all, or even on Ida's body, suddenly retracted his wrist inward, changed hands behind his back, and then his body was slightly sideways, and his feet suddenly increased speed, and he crossed Ida in an instant, until this moment, Date woke up like a dream.
Immediately afterwards, Fuji faced Kamihira Koaki, his speed did not decrease, and he pretended to break through on the right side but turned around and shot on the left side. At this point, Fuji had already pulled out a nice space around him and shot the ball into the frame with unmistakable accuracy in a non-distracting environment.
From receiving the ball to scoring, the whole process only took about 10 seconds, and from crossing Date and Hiraku Akira to turning and jumping, it was only about 5 seconds.
After the goal, Xiangbei quickly returned to defense, and the speed of adjustment was enough to see that this team still wanted to win.
The process of Hakata's counterattack is much slower than that of Xiangbei, and they are the dominant side, so they wish to spend a little more time, almost exhausting the 30 seconds.
After Bodo's goal, he opened up two more points and further reduced the length of the game to one minute.
There is not much time left for Xiangbei.
"Six points short." Fuji muttered silently, and at the same time calculated in his heart that it would take three rounds to fight back with 2 points, or it would be possible if the opponent did not score, and at this time it would be possible to give it a go, and it would have to rely on three points!
In the new round of attack, Hakudo also changed his defensive strategy slightly, they chose to put no two breakthroughs, and focused on Mitsui, who guarded the outside line, and they also understood that Mitsui was the one who created miracles for Xiangbei.
Watching Hakata focus on the defense around Mitsui, Fuji pulled with the opponent for a few seconds, and immediately jumped outside the three-point line, Hakata didn't expect that the offense in the entire national tournament was mainly based on mid-range shots, supplemented by breakthroughs, Fuji would suddenly come to a three-point hand. Seeing this scene, many people who only knew about Xiangbei during the national competition thought that this was a sign that Xiangbei and Fuji were panicked.
However, a second later, the ball went into the net, and Xiangbei made up for three points, narrowing the difference to only three points.
The people in the Xiangbei team are still accustomed to it, because before Mitsui returned to the team, there was a period of competition, and Fuji often shot three points, and even in the early days of Mitsui's return, Fuji also combined with Mitsui to shoot three points, which caused a lot of trouble to the opponent. Although there is an obvious division of labor between Fuji and Mitsui in the near future, it doesn't mean that Fuji can't shoot three points, most of them just can't score the ball tightly!
No, the moment he shot, he felt like he was scoring a goal, and the truth was indeed as he had a hunch.
The time on the scoreboard shows that there are only seconds left, and there are only 45 seconds left until the end of the game. In Hakata's theoretical last offensive round, in the face of Xiangbei's all-out defense, Hakata spent 30 seconds and still failed to score a goal.
Leave 15 seconds for Xiangbei, and now it seems that Xiangbei can only use three points to fight for a chance to draw and delay overtime. But Hakata will not sit idly by, watching Fuji or Mitsui make another three-pointer, and using enough four people to cover Fuji and Mitsui, resolutely not giving Xiangbei a chance to shoot three points.
This approach ignores Mu Dusk.
Fuji paused on the dribble, and then pretended to shoot from a distance, deceived the defense and attention, and feinted to bypass the defenders, just when everyone wanted to see how Fuji was going to shoot a three-pointer, Fuji suddenly passed the ball back to Mu Dui, and there were only 5 or 6 seconds left before the end of the game.
Mu Du was also shocked when he suddenly received the ball, but after stabilizing his mind, he took a shooting pose.
"Cast it! Twilight! There's no one around you! Akagi under the basket roared loudly.
With 4 seconds left, Twilight recharges her strength to a certain level and pushes the ball out gracefully.
With 3 seconds left, the basketball went into the net, and the scoreboard instantly jumped to 77 points to tie 77 points.
There were only 2 seconds left when Hakata received the ball and counterattacked, and the player hurriedly shot, and the basketball flew half of the court but fell without even touching the basket.
In the end of the second half, the result of Xiangbei and Hakata entering overtime tied with 77 points ended in the game, and the game entered the break, and there will be a 10-minute overtime game shortly after.
During the break, Miyagi returned from the infirmary, and he endured the pain on his face but did not show any traces, and asked Coach Anzai to play. After persuasion failed, the coach agreed to his request. In addition, after forty minutes of fighting, Mitsui's physical strength was finally exhausted, and after the second half, Mitsui fell to the ground as soon as he got off the court, and had to be carried back to the break room by his teammates, and Mu Twilight would replace Mitsui and play again.
After the break, Miyagi reappeared in the lineup of the Xiangbei team, and his appearance immediately caused the audience to shout and shout.
"Xiangbei! Xiangbei! Xiangbei! ”
This scene was something that no one expected, Yayoi Aida looked back at the audience cheering for Xiangbei's rocker, his heart was churning, and he almost burst into tears. She thought, "Now the audience is moved by the tenacious struggle of Xiangbei." ”
Although the five people in Xiangbei are close to physical strength, the state of the god of courage is unprecedented, bathed in such a sea of "Xiangbei", anyone will have the courage to challenge all things!
