Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Decisive Battle Comes
After the two finished shopping, they went back to the hotel hall to eat, at this time it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and they each went back to their rooms for dinner and gestured, and they were actually quite tired after a day of shopping. And for the next day's game, every basketball player also rested early.
In the morning, there were many people standing outside the basketball court, all of them came to see this summit showdown, and the champion will also belong. There are many people who have come.
Winning is inevitable for some, but not for others; It's the ultimate matchup, no one wants to lose, and victory is always a joy anyway, isn't it? The countdown to the start of the game has already arrived.
Coach Li Yongxi said, "Students, you only have two choices now, victory or defeat, will you fail?" Tell me out loud! The last sentence is basically shouted out.
"We won't fail!" The members of Xilong Middle School shouted in unison.
After the start of the game, the starting lineup of Jinxi Middle School was the same as always: Huang Xiaolong, Lin Feiyu, Shi Yang, Li Xiaoya, Zhou Yan; However, Xilong Middle School is a little strange: Liao Xinkai, Peng Yinggang, Huo Ziyang, Li Mingyang, Lai Lei; Zhuo Feng did not play. After the opening, the battle between the two sides was fierce, and the players of the two sides seemed to be in a stalemate, regardless of whether they were up or down.
"Zhuo Feng, get ready to play." Coach Li Yongxi patted Zhuo Feng on the shoulder, intending to break the deadlock with Zhuo Feng. Retracting his gaze from the court, Zhuo Feng nodded to the coach, stood up from his seat, clapped his hands, and walked to the field. Zhuo Feng came on the field to replace Huo Ziyang, and Li Yongxi's decision seemed a bit unexpected, not only the opposing coach, but even Li Mingyang was a little stunned, and he was usually replaced.
After Zhuo Feng came on the court, he was in the opposite position with Zhou Yan and strictly defended him, Zhuo Feng's defense was still a bit interesting. Huang Xiaolong attacked with the ball, Li Mingyang desperately followed him to move, and in the end he couldn't find a chance, Huang Xiaolong shot outside the three-point line, but was interfered by Li Mingyang, the ball was too strong, smashed on the basket and bounced out; At this time, Lin Feiyu jumped up to grab the rebound, and obviously he was a step too late, only to see a shadow drifting by, and the ball was gone.
It was Zhuo Feng, he didn't stay, he was in the air, his vision was broad, and he passed the ball to the middle of the no-man's land, at this time Liao Xinkai was coming, just caught the ball, and jumped out directly, at this time, Li Xiaoya, who followed Liao Xinkai, was always half a beat slower and couldn't stop it. There was warm applause off the court, and Li Yongxi was also applauding, not only because of Liao Xinkai's goal, but also Zhuo Feng's passing, which is a kind of basketball IQ that sometimes can't be learned; In any industry, in everything, there are people with different talents. It's just that some have been discovered, while others are permanently buried, which also creates a different life.
However, immediately afterwards, Zhou Yan used a three-pointer to pull the score back, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
Then, as the two sides played for too long, the physical strength of the two sides decreased, and the hit rate also decreased, and Li Xiao**'s situation was even more serious. Huang Xiaolong alone still maintains his level. But you can't win the game on your own, so the score is falling behind. In the case of a defensive mistake, Zhuo Feng dunked in a flying body, completely brought out the momentum, and forced the opposing coach to call a timeout.
His side has entered the rotation lineup, and Xilong Middle School is still the main force, and it still has an advantage in terms of physical strength, and it can't recover the score, and the coach of Jinxi Middle School is very dissatisfied. And Shi Yang was also depressed, although Zhuo Feng, who dunked the dunk, was next to him, he was not in the opposite position, his position was blocked by Peng Yinggang, and this ball was counted on his head.
And Zhuo Feng is naturally the hero, after the game, the team members came to high-five him.
"Well done!" Of course, Coach Lee was also very happy.
"We can't afford to sit still." Huang Xiaolong spoke, "Later, like this...... ...... like this"
"Okay, that's it." The team members from Jinxi Middle School chimed in.
After re-entering the game, Zhuo Feng obviously felt that the opponent's momentum was different; "It looks like we're going to have to fight hard again," Zhuo Feng thought.
After some fighting, the Jinxi team recovered 5 points, but still trailed by 8 points. At this time, there were less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game. After a fierce battle, the Jinxi team was still 8 points behind, and at this time, there were 10 seconds left before the end of the game, the ball was in Lin Feiyu's hands, and Lai Lei was blocking him. Time passed by second, and Lin Feiyu didn't move, obviously he didn't plan to make a move; He's waiting, waiting for an opportunity, isn't he? He was waiting for the game to end, because under the gap of 8 points, his last shot was meaningless, and the shot, hit or not, was completely useless, and he didn't even need to increase the points.
When the referee announced the end of the game, the audience remembered bursts of cheers, of course, excluding the people from Jinxi Middle School, this is the closest they have been to the championship but still lost, I am afraid there will be no more such opportunities in the future, this is the strongest lineup of Jinxi Middle School for many years, and it is also a lucky session, they couldn't even enter the top three before, although it is the most in history, it is still regrettable.
Finally, there was the award ceremony, the champion of Xilong Middle School, the runner-up of Jinxi, Long Ling ranked third because of the points, and won the third place, and the fourth place in Wufeng. Of course, the award will only be given to the top three.
By the time everything was over, it was already noon.
Xilong Middle School won the championship, and Coach Li was naturally the happiest, and he decided to use the school's funds to invite everyone to have a big meal, instead of the same standard meal every day.
"Long live the coach!" Everyone cheered together.
Although compared to the previous matches, the final was not so thrilling at the end, but the two sides still played their own level.
"My team didn't win the game, but everyone did their best, and although there are some regrets, we have no regrets." So said the coach at Jinxi Middle School.
After happily finishing the meal, no one bothered us, everyone cleaned up, and then took the bus back to school. The lessons that have fallen these days, Zhuo Feng and they have to make up for it. For Zhuo Feng, of course, it is not difficult, but some team members are very annoyed. For example, Lai Lei, who was originally average in learning, is even more speechless now. That feeling is indescribable.
Back at Xilong Middle School, it is clear that the matter is not over yet. Because Zhuo Feng brought back honor to the school, the principal decided to praise the whole school, and also posted the previous honors of the basketball team on the propaganda board, and took a group photo of them in Butterfly Square, made a poster, and put it in the middle of the propaganda board.
In the afternoon, everyone went back to school, but they were in a hurry, so they didn't rush to class, but went back to the dormitory to clean up first.
And before you know it, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. Recently, some festivals in China have gradually recovered and received more and more attention.
