"!" Zhuo Yifan scolded in remorse, but his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Xia Jun glanced at his teammates and ran back to the backcourt helplessly.

Yang Jinglong retreated together, and he couldn't see the previous defensive momentum in his eyes, as if he was deflated all of a sudden, showing exhaustion and helplessness.

"It's okay, there's still time, don't be discouraged!" Li Xin stepped forward to encourage his teammates, but in fact, he didn't know whether the 21-point gap could be recovered.

Han Chongyu was already impatient when he sat on the bench, and kept muttering: "The game is not over yet, the game is not over yet!" The voice in his mouth became louder and louder, and finally he jumped up from the bench and yelled at his teammates on the field:

"The game isn't over yet, is it? What are you doing in frustration? Take out Siyuan's fighting spirit! ”

The players on both sides were stunned by Han Chongyu's sudden shout, and the game stopped for a moment.

Seeing Han Chongyu's sudden move, the referee blew the whistle for a pause, and stepped forward to give Chongyu a verbal warning.

When Li Xiaolong saw Chongyu's excesses, he immediately pressed Han Chongyu to his seat and reprimanded:

"What's the matter with you, in case you get a technical foul, aren't you asking yourself for trouble? Don't you think we're in trouble enough right now? ”

"Coach, do you mean that you don't have confidence in the game?"

"Siyuan is now at a critical juncture of life and death, and his morale has also suffered a big blow, if he doesn't fight back now, then it's too late."

'I'm the manager and I know very well what can happen. You're so uncool to do that. ”

"Coach, let me play, I can't just watch us lose this game today, it's an opportunity I've only had in years, the most important opportunity in my basketball career. I can't let him slip away and do nothing. Han Chongyu held the head coach's arms tightly, shook violently, and his expression changed from excitement to almost pleading, and finally knelt down in front of Li Xiaolong.

This is the first time Han Chongyu has shown such a look, Han Chongyu has always been alone, indomitable on the court, fearless, silent off the field, cold and arrogant, and at this time, this arrogant fighter even did not hesitate to kneel down the man's knee in order to get the opportunity to play.

"Chong Yu, child, don't be like this, get up!"

Li Xiaolong comforted Han Chongyu while helping him up, and then persuaded: "Child, I am also a father, protecting my players is as important to me as protecting my own children, I can't watch you play with such a serious injury, even in such an important game." You're in my team, so I'm going to have to be responsible for your body. ”

Han Chongyu got up, Li Xiaolong continued to help him to his seat, and continued: "Of course I haven't given up hope, and I must not give up until the moment the whistle blows at the end of the game." If this belief is abandoned, then by this time, the game is over. I've always believed that we can still win the game. ”

"Cheer for your teammates if you want to, your cheering will definitely boost their morale."

Taking advantage of the pause in the game, Wu Sheng also changed his generals, replacing He Chaoyun, who had exhausted his physical strength, with Wang Kefeng, a defensive small forward who made his debut today.

Corian said secretly: "In the last 9 and a half minutes, the opponent's physical strength has been almost consumed, use Wang Kefeng's defense to make the final victory!" ”

And what happened on Siyuan's side just now, Li Xin saw it all.

Han Chongyu's persistence deeply moved Li Xin, and he remembered this sentence: "Until the moment the whistle blows at the end of the game, you must not give up." ”

I also secretly made up my mind in my heart: "Brother Chongyu, don't worry, I will fulfill your wish for you." ”

Seeing the new Wang Kefeng, Li Xin thought to herself: "I have always been hiding Wang Kefeng before, but I suddenly replaced him at this time, do you let go and make the last game on defense?" ”

Li Xin quickly searched her mind for pictures of Wang Kefeng's competition, and tried to write down his characteristics one by one.

Just as the game was about to continue, a familiar voice came from behind him, earnestly encouraging Siyuan's organizational defenders: "Li Xin, I can't play, the task of defeating Wusheng will be handed over to you!" ”

The audience outside the arena heard this discordant voice and began to sneer at Han Chongyu and Siyuan:

"Is there a mistake? If you still want to defeat Wu Sheng now, are you daydreaming? ”

"I don't think they have woken up yet, now this situation has already been decided, there is no suspense in the game, and they are trying to get the game back, even if Jordan helps them, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it. Ha ha! ”

This also caused the audience to issue a stronger voice against Siyuan:

"Siyuan! Dream! ”

"Wu Sheng! Win! ”

"Xiao Jiang! Come on, show them the color. ”

Li Xin completely ignored the situation outside the court and focused all his attention on the game, at this time he could only hear Han Chongyu's encouragement and Li Xiaolong's teaching.

With Wang Kefeng on the field, Li Xiaolong made a gesture to Li Xin, and Li Xin understood and took on the field to guide and remobilize the defensive form on the field.

He turned to defend Jiang Chengyi, who was the most threatening in attack, while Yang Jinglong was in charge of the opponent's captain Wang Linzhou, and Xia Jun, who was weaker in defense, also correspondingly defended Wang Kefeng, who was not a big threat in the attack, Zhuo Yifan against Meng Dinan, and Michael looked at Sui Chengan.

But in Siyuan's offensive, Wu Sheng's defense was also very targeted, Xia Jun was first watched by Wang Kefeng, and Wang Kefeng, who had just come on the field, had the upper hand in terms of defensive ability, movement speed, and height. Wang Linzhou still defended Li Xin, and the rest were Jiang Chengyi against Yang Jinglong, Meng Dinan against Michael, and Sui Chengan against Zhuo Yifan.

Seeing that Siyuan did not call a pause to adjust his tactics, Ke Lien was happy again: "Seeing that we replaced Wang Kefeng, but did not adjust our tactics, thinking that Wang Kefeng was just a defensive player, it would be wrong." ”

It's the defense of the whole court again, first of all, against Li Xin.

"The opponent is not relaxed at all! I don't plan to give Si Yuan a chance at all. Wu Sheng's tight defense made the substitutes extremely worried about Siyuan.

The bag between the two is getting closer and closer, almost forcing Li Xin to the bottom line, and when there is no way out, Li Xin suddenly slammed into the waist, just like the trick that An Jingchun, the point guard of Chongqing Yubei Middle School, is good at, Li Xin is now quite proficient.

"Beautiful!"

Eyes and Wang Linzhou looked at each other, dribbled the ball on the left side, and the body made a false shake, with the experience of being Li Xin before, this time Wang Linzhou was quite cautious, seeing that Wang Linzhou did not move, Li Xin rushed directly from the right side, the opponent pressed step by step, the inside player unfolded the bag on Li Xin, Li Xin raised his hand, to Xia Jun's hands, did not catch the ball and directly blocked it to Michael on the inside, and the hand pass was unexpected by Wang Kefeng, so that he did not have any reaction.

Coolyne's brow furrowed slightly.

“GOGOGO! MICHAEL!” Si Yuan's substitutes all encouraged Michael to go inside.

And Mendinan's successful defense of Michael several times still makes Michael feel uneasy.

Of course, he also knows the importance of this ball to Siyuan, who was born in the United States, and when he was in the United States, he was also the star of the school, but the high school students in this basketball kingdom were trapped by their Chinese peers at this time, which couldn't help but remind him of another high school student who was known for his defense in a game in the United States:

Sheehan. Rockley. Considered the strongest defensive center among high school players in the state, his 2.08 meter height stands out from most high school players.

In Michael's basketball career, if there are two crucial games, today is one for Beijing Wusheng High School in China, and the other is Michael. McCarty's varsity team and Sheehan. Rockley's team clashes. In that game, the team's main center was injured, and Michael, who was originally a power forward, was injured. McCarty was pushed to play as a center forward and played directly against Rockley.

The first half of the game was completely controlled by the opponent, and Michael, as the team's leading scorer, was completely limited by Rokeley, whose physique, physique, rebounding, and judgment of blocks completely prevailed. Michael's offense was nowhere to start, which directly affected the team's offense and morale, and at halftime, Michael had only a measly three-pointer, and all of them relied on free throws.

"Michael, how did you do that? The first half was completely controlled by Roqukeley, you should show some courage, you don't have to be afraid of the opponent's block, you should go forward. Teammate Ben admonished Michael.

"There was no inside containment, and our team's outside shooting was completely controlled, and the opponent only needed to defend a few of our outside shooting points very easily, and our scoring was almost completely limited." Defender Rohr thoroughly analysed the situation in the first half.

"Michael, we have to get your support, otherwise we will definitely lose today, don't you want to qualify? Today is the last chance. ”

At that time, Michael was also very confused, and the dilemma when facing Roqueley was the same as facing Mendinand today.

In the end, Michael finally overcame his demons, thanks to Michael's mentor, a 60-year-old coach Cowres. Mclean.

Michael vividly remembers the gray-haired old handsome man saying, "Boy, your opponent is not the six-foot-ten-inch, 250-pound Rockley, but yourself, do you understand?" ”

"Myself?"

"Yes, in the first half you lost to yourself, so you couldn't score on the court, you just tied yourself up and didn't play it. In the second half, you just have to uncover the rope on yourself. can lead the team to victory. ”

"I'm tying myself up, I need to untie myself up?" Michael pondered over and over what the white-haired coach had warned him.

Rockley's defense remains solid, as if no matter how Michael shoots, Rockley always has a way to stop himself. He is like a rope that constantly binds himself. And Michael gradually realized the meaning of his mentor's words, the opponent is just a rope, and Michael only needs to find a way to uncover this rope to liberate his scoring ability.

Michael was born as a forward, and if he can't compete under the basket, he will win even further. Then the rope is naturally revealed.

In the second half, Michael's team led a big comeback, trailing by 22 points in the first half. Michael made full use of his movement and mid-range shooting ability to entice Rockley to pull away from the basket and create opportunities for his teammates to break through the basket. And if Rockley doesn't come out, he withdraws his shot. In the second half, Michael scored 24 points alone, which was exactly the score of the team's comeback, and the team finally won by two points.

"No matter how good Mendinan's defense is, it's just like Rockley, they're just a rope and you just need to untie them. Then the team's scoring can be liberated. ”

"In the middle distance against Mendinand." Michael decisively withdrew from the basket for the battle, which was not his territory in the first place.

Taking two steps outward, Mendinan did not follow, took another step back, and turned over to throw the ball in his hand in a standard shooting stance.

"What, the center shoots from so far away?" Mendinan's shot against Michael was not expected at all.

"Huh!" The ball hollows into the net.

Wusheng's players were all surprised, no one expected that this strange exotic center would have such a unique skill as mid-range shooting.

"Oh! Michael! Can't you see it? Do you really have a hand? ”

"Why didn't you use it, you deliberately kept a hand to use it today, didn't you? Is there really you? Yang Jinglong, Zhuo Yifan, and Xia Jun all pounced on Michael, grabbed his head, and beat him gently. Even the words of encouragement are all in Chinese.

"I ...... I... Isn't it... Very... Club...... Yes? Michael asked his teammates in unfamiliar Chinese.

"yes, yes, you're the best." His teammates wrapped their arms around his neck even tighter.

"69:52" (154:135 on aggregate)

Because of this ball, Siyuan regained control of the score to within 20 minutes, and the time was still 9 minutes and 15 seconds.

"The game isn't over yet!" Li Xin said angrily, he was the only one in the backfield who quickly returned to defense, and was beaten by the opponent again.

This time, the opponents are Jiang Chengyi and Wang Kefeng.

"It's over, it's all negligent!" Zhuo and Michael quickly returned to the defense.

Jiang Chengyi rushed forward quickly, his eyes watching Wang Kefeng's direction while also being wary of Li Xin.

"One-on-one?" Jiang Chengyi squirmed his lips and challenged Li Xin.

Li Xin's eyes widened, she didn't expect her opponent to come up with such a challenge, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, come on!" ”

Jiang Chengyi broke through with a low body, Li Xin stuck in the position, the opponent immediately turned over, and prepared to get up with a big move to the bottom of the basket, with his legs off the ground, and prepared a slam dunk against the basket. But there was nothing left in his hand.

"What?" Jiang Chengyi couldn't believe that with this one-shot action, the ball would actually be stolen by the opponent.

The moment Cheng Yi grabbed the ball, Li Xin made a decisive shot, successfully broke the ball, and counterattacked to the front court. Stretch out your index finger and successfully turn a lost point into a chance to score. Organize another offensive of Qi Siyuan.

Between Michael and Li Xin's attack and defense, Si Yuanzhong has regained hope.
