Chapter 44: The All-Powerful Striker
In the third quarter, both sides fielded their main lineups.
The Dragon Elephants attack first. Shi Nan covered, Yan Xing cut into the inside line with the ball, faced Xu Chu's defense, played small and big, and after using his foot advantage to break through the opponent, he went directly to the basket, which was interfered with by Dian Wei, who made up for the defense. Under the basket, Shi Nan and Xu Chu were entangled, and Dian Wei won in the competition for rebounds with Ju Yi. Xu Huang dribbled the ball quickly, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren followed closely, and the Dragon Elephant team quickly returned to defense. Xu Huang burst into the three-second zone, and Xiahoudun and Cao Ren also ran to the bottom corner of both sides to three points. Except for Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi, the pitchers who rushed to ambush the two bottom corners, everyone else rushed to the basket. Xu Huang did not go directly to the basket, but passed the ball back to Dian Wei, who happened to run to the 60-degree three-point line on the right wing. After Dian Wei received the ball, he made a steady three-point shot. The shooting action is soft, the shooting arc is beautiful, and the three-point shooting is accurate. At 62:53, the score difference was almost 10 points.
Chen Zhi made a breakthrough feint, because in the first two quarters, Chen Zhi chose to shoot or pass after breaking into the inside, so Cao Ren's center of gravity immediately moved back, but this time Chen Zhi directly pulled out a jump shot and returned a three-point shot.
Dian Wei took the ball with his back in the three-second area on the right side, faced Ju Yi sideways, and took a tentative step with his right foot. Ju Yi's lower body exerts force, ready to carry hard. But Dian Wei immediately withdrew his right foot and threw it directly backwards.
Changing the Dragon Elephant team to attack, after Huang Zhong received the ball, Cao Ren burst out and did not let go. Huang Zhong had no choice but to burst into the basket with the ball, attracting Xu Chu to make up for the defense, and passing the ball to Shi Nan. After Shi Nan received the ball, he held it high and wanted to shoot directly, but Dian Wei suddenly killed, like a big mountain straddling in front of Shi Nan. Shi Nan hesitated, and Dian Wei directly slapped the basketball that Shi Nan held above his head. After Cao Ren picked up the basketball, he went straight down, burst into the penalty area, smashed the ball to the rebound, and Dian Wei, who followed up, received the rebound ball and scored with both hands.
"It's over, Ju Yi has been psychologically defeated, this defense, he didn't even raise his hand, just watched the opponent's air relay score." Tai Shici found that Ju Yi's face was like ashes, and he had no fighting spirit.
"Yes, either it broke out in silence or died in silence, his choice determines whether the Dragon Elephant team has a fourth quarter, everything can only depend on him." Zhou Yu couldn't help this time.
Yan Xing made a cover for Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi made a three-point shot at the top of the arc against Xu Huang, but this time the three-point was off, and Shi Nan was killed by Xu Chu. Ju Yi's rhythm was half a beat slower, and Dian Wei grabbed the rebound position faster.
Dian Wei dribbled the ball through the midfield and passed the ball to Xu Huang for organization. Xu Huang dribbled to the outside of the three-point line and passed the ball to Dian Wei, who was about to go to the free throw line. After receiving the ball, Dian Wei took two big strides into the basket and easily scored a one-handed dunk in front of Ju Yi.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Dian Wei made a three-point shot, a two-point mid-range shot, a breakthrough, an aerial relay, a two-handed dunk, a one-handed dunk, a rebound, a block, and a steal.
At 68:56, the Dragons trailed by 12 points, the largest point difference between the two sides since the opening game.
"I also noticed that Brother Ju Yi seemed to be moving very slowly, feeling overwhelmed by a big mountain, and letting his opponent take what he wanted. So why didn't the coach let him take a break? Tai Shi Ting also realized it afterwards and found that the Dragon Elephant Team had encountered the biggest crisis since the opening.
"That's because you don't have a better striker than Ju Yi." Tai Shi Ci looked at the helpless expression of the coaching staff of the Dragon Elephant Team.
"What about the bag?" Tai Shi Ting was hopeful to hear an affirmative answer.
"No, I can't. It is useless to face the twin towers, he can easily pass inside, and after Xu Chu receives the ball, he can have many offensive options. The most important point is that the opponent plays team basketball, and once a little bit is emptied, it will be immediately used by the opponent. Zhou Yu thought about what it would be like if his team faced the Twin Towers, but his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he couldn't solve this game of Zhenlong chess after thinking about it.
Huang Zhong tirelessly ran all over the court, borrowing Shi Nan and Ju Yi to cover, but he still didn't shake off Xiahoudun's dogskin plaster-like sticking, and finally barely made a three-point shot after receiving the ball, and after the shot, he felt wrong, shouting: "Rebound!" ”
Xu Chu stuck Shi Nan, and Ju Yi, who had stiff hands and feet, was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Dian Wei, and the basketball was about to fall into the hands of Dian Wei again. Chen Zhi rose into the air, half of his body crossed Dian Wei's shoulder, leaned over to grab the ball, and after passing the ball to Huang Zhong in the air, he fell directly in front of Dian Wei. The sound of the head and the floor hitting was terrifying, the audience held their breath at that moment, many people covered their mouths, and some timid female fans even closed their eyes directly and asked their boyfriends urgently: "How is it?" What do you think? ”
"Pause!" Huang Zhong threw away the basketball and hurriedly ran over.
"Well, what the are you doing? There will be concussion and intracranial hemorrhage! You're fucking crazy, you think you're a high jumper, this kind of action is going to make you half-paralyzed. I didn't fucking tell you to fight for rebounds. Huang Zhong roared hoarsely, his eyes full of tears.
"I didn't ...... ...... thing, death ...... No...... ......, I'm ...... Just want to ...... Win ...... This ...... Race! Blood spilled from the corners of Chen's mouth.
"Ahh Raised by a son of a bitch, Lao Tzu fought hard. Ju Yi roared heartbreakingly, venting the anger in his heart and the determination to fight to the death.
"Lao Tzu is also fighting," Yan Xing's eyes were red and he yelled loudly.
"Layman, Lao Tzu will take them all down for you," Shi Nan's eyes flashed fiercely, full of arrogance.
Chen Zhi still couldn't play again. Shangguan Hong brutally rejected his request to fight again, and resolutely asked the team doctor to carefully observe whether he would have other symptoms, and was always ready to send him to the hospital as soon as possible. Wang Ping took his place.
The Dragon Elephant Team is like a group of bloody wolves, rushing madly to the tiger's territory again and again, although they were beaten to the head and bleeding, but they still stubbornly left bite marks on the other party. Suicide intercepted the opponent's charge, although he was shot sideways by the opponent, he still went forward and built a stubborn defense line with his weak body. spared no effort to fight with the tiger for speed, strength, momentum, and ruthlessness, and was beaten by the opponent again and again to the crumbling, and stood up stubbornly again and again.
Tai Shi Ting had already burst into tears: "Brother! I'm also from the Dragon Elephants! The choked voice revealed strong pride.
"Yes, you and Shi Nan are my pride." Tai Shi Ci was also completely infected by this group of creatures who were not afraid of life and death.
"We are not wronged to lose to them! I expect them to do wonders. Zhou Yu solemnly looked at all the Dragon Elephant team players again, and at this moment, he was arrogant in his heart before he really identified with this group of people.
After a shocking and tragic battle, the five members of the Dragon Elephant team were out of breath, sweating like pulp, and were about to collapse, but, at 81:79, the third quarter ended, and the Dragon Elephants only trailed the opponent by two points.
