During the intermission, Xue Beibei came to the lounge from the audience.

"You've played so well! I can't believe that I can firmly bite the team of the College of Engineering and Technology! If it hadn't been a bad start, maybe they were all ahead by now! ”

"Xue Beibei is right, you performed very well in the first half, I saw the shadow of last year's invincible Jiao Da team from you, you are very cohesive and hardworking, and never give up every opportunity."

"Mu Xiang, your flying save is very exciting, it was this ball that gave us the lead for the first time, although it was not very long, but it greatly inspired our teammates."

"And Shangguan Yun, I didn't expect that you who usually like to be mischievous and casual, you are really an excellent player when you play seriously, if it weren't for you in the first half, we would probably be more than ten points behind."

Coach Zhao praised them one by one, and the faces of the players were full of belief in winning the game.

"Okay, I won't say anything more, don't be anxious in the second half, play one ball at a time, I believe you can catch up with your opponent soon."

"Believe that we are the strongest Jiao Brigade!" The old man's words were simple, but they gave confidence and encouragement to the team members.

At the beginning of the second half, the strategy of strengthening the defense of the inside line for the whole Yifang was strengthened, and the opponent began to focus on the attack, frequently using medium and long-range shots as a scoring method, and once we fell into passivity. Soon the gap between the two sides was in double digits again.

The coach called another timeout and laid out some tactics. But it seems that his routines have been seen through by the opponent's "treacherous and cunning" coach, and there has been no improvement on the scoreboard, and time is losing little by little, 8 minutes, 7 minutes, 6 minutes.

With just 5 minutes and 45 seconds remaining, and with us still 16 points behind, it looks like the tide is turning. The teammates were impatient and dazed when attacking, and more often passed the ball to Quan Yi's hands, and Quan Yi was firmly watched to death by the opponent's special person both inside and outside, unable to get a chance to shoot, and began to be at a loss.

Quan Yi ignored the opponent's strict defense, stubbornly took the ball to the inside line to break through to the layup, and was slapped out by the opponent's center, fortunately Fan Wenling got the ball back to Quan Yi again, he broke through to the inside again, jumped high but was hit hard by the opponent's double attack, his back was to the ground, and he was suddenly in pain, unable to move for a long time, Quan Yi's consciousness began to blur, and his mind was blank......

When Quan Yi became conscious again, he saw two tall figures in his eyes.

"Zhou Junyi, Zheng Pengfei, is that you? Did you come to see us play today? But I'm sorry, we're probably going to let you down, and it's probably hopeless to fall behind by so many points! ”

"Is the game over?" The burly figure asked.

"Nope!" Quan Yi replied.

"So why is there no hope? As long as there is still fighting spirit and the belief that you will win, there is still the possibility of winning, and don't give up even the slightest hope that seems to be a little bit of hope. ”

"When the belief in winning is gone, the game is over." The voice continued.

"Before the final whistle blows, you still have hope of winning." Another figure said.

"Come on, don't insult the reputation of the strongest team of Jiaotong University!" A girl's voice came from the two of them, and the voice was quiet and powerful, which made people feel encouraged.

"Senior Sister Wu Xin? Is that you? Quan Yi reached out to grab something, but grabbed it empty.

Quan Yi opened his eyes and found himself on the bench on the sidelines, next to Coach Zhao's elegant figure.

"Oh, you're awake, it's nothing serious!"

Quan Yi looked at the scoreboard, 70:83, and the time was only 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

"Coach, replace me!" Quan Yi straightened up and said, and a heart-piercing pain hit my back, so that I couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Is your body really okay? If you say yes, then I'll replace you. ”

"I ...... Of course I can, please trust me. Quan Yi said with support, cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Well, this is the last pause." The coach asked the referee for a final timeout.

When Quan Yi was about to play, Coach Zhao patted Quan Yi on the shoulder and said: "If you say you can, then I will believe you, I have always believed in our captain - can lead the team to victory after victory." ”

I nodded firmly and got back on the field.

I slapped the back of the players' heads one by one, and the players looked at me puzzled before they spoke:

"Do you all think the game is over at this point?"

'The real end of the game is when the referee's whistle blows, and before that we have to do just two things to do to finish our own attack and to defend the opposition's attack.

"Remember what our goddess said? She's somewhere waiting to boil with us! ”

"Come and shout our slogan again with Quan Yi: 'We are the team of the team, we are the strongest team!' ”

"We are the Jiaotong team, we are the strongest team!" Slogans resounded throughout the stadium.

Next, the energetic players were like bamboos, Mu Xiang's rebounds and blocks made the opponent useless, pulled to the outside, Shangguan Yunjing, who was originally absent-minded in defense, also opened his eyes, so that the opponent did not have a chance to shoot; Fast break, three-pointers, free throws, slam dunks, and before we knew it, we narrowed the score difference to just 5 points, but the time was only 41 seconds.

"Rebound!" The opponent missed the shot again, Fan Wenling got the rebound and handed a long pass to Quan Yi in the front court, without waiting for the opponent's defense to settle down, Quan Yi went out at the three-point line, this move is a new move that Quan Yi has been practicing since last year, the timing of the shot, the angle of the shot, the height of the jump, and the arc after the basketball shot Quan Yi is familiar with it, as if the same practice replay again and again. Ji Zhilin, who was defending Quan Yi, was so vicious that he wanted to block Quan Yi and pounced on him.

At the same time as the referee's whistle blew, the basketball also went into the frame, and Quan Yi got a chance to make an additional free throw.

Quan Yi couldn't take a look at the sidelines, and at this time he only had victory in his eyes. But from Xue Beibei's exclamation, it can be known that she can't cry at this time.

The penalty went into the net and we were just one point behind. The opponent was anxious to attack the front court, and also took advantage of the unstable foothold of Jiaotong University to shoot two points, and the difference was stretched to three points, with only 16 seconds left.

Quan Yi got rid of the opponent's defense again, the pain in his back has been tormenting his body more and more clearly, just before coming to the three-point line, Quan Yi jumped up and shot three points, the other party did not dare to make any more moves, the ball went into the net, 87:87, there are still 5 seconds left.

As long as the referee's whistle doesn't blow, the game is over, even when everyone thinks it's over. Quan Yi finally understood the meaning of this sentence, and the ball sent by the opponent's bottom line and scored a layup to complete Quan Yi's most brilliant moment.

The referee's whistle blew, and at 89:87, Jiaotong University won.

"I hate defeat more than any of you, and I only have the word victory in my eyes." Quan Yi announced to his teammates who rushed in, and his teammates hugged Quan Yi tightly, he felt the glory he had never felt before, and that feeling would be remembered for life, and the pain in his back finally reached its extreme at this time, and he fell under the embrace of his teammates.

There was also news in our favour from another venue, although the East China Institute of Technology defeated our opponents, but they were less than us in the calculation of small points, so that we finally qualified to represent Shanghai in the East China Regional Finals.

We partyed all night that night, celebrating our qualification, celebrating our glorious moments.

However, the joy and splendor lasted only a week. On this day, the news from the organizing committee surprised all the basketball players.

This news was announced by Coach Zhao, and Quan Yi couldn't imagine how much damage such a result would cause to him:

"Today, I want to make the bad news to all of you, you did a great job a week ago, it was one of the best games I've ever seen, and I'm very proud of you. The audience can prove that you are truly strong. But today, the news from the organizing committee said that we played match-fixing in that game, saying that we had bought off some players from the College of Engineering and Technology to release water in the game, so that we could get the right to qualify. The report said: "Today's Jiaotong University is not the same as last year, in the case of two less souls in the team, its strength is roughly only the level of the average strong team, it is impossible to enter the semi-finals, and it is impossible to defeat the East China University of Science and Technology in the second game in the case of the first defeat to the East China University of Technology, the strength of the East China University of Technology is far above the strength of the East China Institute of Technology, the most incredible thing is that it eliminated the East China Institute of Technology team with a coincidental net score advantage." After our investigation and verification, the information we have confirmed that Jiao Tong University was involved in match-fixing in this series, so it was officially disqualified from participating in the East China finals and replaced by East China Institute of Technology, which ranked third. Then the attached list is the confession of some players of the so-called engineering and technical college. ”

"What, we play match-fixing! Is there any reason for this? Fan Wenling was furious.

"We put so much effort into saying we were match-fixing? So didn't the Institute of Engineering and Technology also accept bribes? So how did they not get disqualified? And Shangguan Yun was even more angry.

Coach Zhao continued: "The College of Engineering and Technology is only a single player who has harmed the interests of the collective, and the team has already punished them, and the College of Engineering and Technology has always been the leader in the national competition, representing the highest level of basketball at Shanghai University, so the team does not constitute participating in this match-fixing activity, which is what the report says." ”

"How can it be!" Quan Yi's roar even shook the glass windows of the gymnasium.

"There must be a reason, someone must be obstructing us and framing us." Quan Yi continued to shout.

"Who could that be?" Quan Yi began to search for his memory.

"Could it be? Will it be him......" Quan Yi put a hand on his shoulder, pulling him back to his senses who was still searching in his memory.

Quan Yi looked back and saw that it was Xue Beibei: "Sister Beibei!" ”

Bei Bei nodded and said to him solemnly: "Quan Yi, I heard rumors that our team's disqualification this time was reported by someone and evidence was submitted. ”

"Evidence, we didn't fake it at all, where did the evidence come from?"

"Even if it's perjury, the organizing committee believes it anyway, who do you think this person might be?"

"He Jinwen!" Quan Yi blurted out the name.

"How could it be him, he's in prison." Beibei's eyes widened.

"I was walking in the playground the other day and I heard a couple of men and women discussing this matter, saying that he had received a reduced sentence from seven years to five years shortly after he was imprisoned, and it was said that his uncle and father were powerful and may have given benefits to the person in charge. If his father and uncle were that powerful, it wouldn't be difficult to make some perjury and submit it to the organizing committee. He Jinwen has a grudge against the team, and he is the most suspicious of this incident as revenge against the team. And even if we find evidence of a retraction of confessions, the national competition will start next week, and it will be too late. The punishment is already a certainty. ”

"So that's the case, if it was really He Jinwen and their good deeds, they finally defeated the College of Engineering and Technology, but in exchange for this result, it was really disappointing." Babe sighed deeply.
