Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Difficult Third Quarter Start

"My Kong Ming is the best! My Kong Ming is the best! Why!" Yueying was so excited that she staggered around in her position, causing the audience next to her to turn their heads and look at her with strange eyes

"Hey, crazy sister, can't you be a little more reserved?" Cui Zhouping and the others desperately wanted to pull Yueying back to her seat, not wanting her to make a fool of herself again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Beep!" The referee Fa Zheng's whistle sounded, Kong Ming's three-point shot just now stepped on the line, only two points were counted, and the final score of the two sides in the second quarter was a 20-20 tie!

Huang Yueying's frantically swaying body suddenly froze, as if the whole person suddenly fell into the ice cellar, and then her body fell.

"I'm sorry, everyone..."Kong Ming, who walked to the locker room, gasped for air and said apologetically. Just now I felt that the position and timing were excellent, and I didn't think so much about it, so I didn't get the three points, I'm sorry guys..."

"It's okay Kong Ming, your performance in this section is really outstanding!" Liu Bei patted Kong Ming on the shoulder as he walked.

"Alas, it's a shame that this ball isn't a three-point shot." Cui Zhouping sighed and shook his head.

"But Kong Ming scored eight points in this quarter, and now it is the highest score in the game for the time being, shouldn't this kind of performance be commendable for a basketball beginner?" Xu Shu muttered.

"That's right, I didn't even think that Kong Ming would play basketball at all." Cui Zhouping echoed.

"The team has worked hard." Coach Lu Zhi stood up in his seat and applauded the players. 'We did a great job and it was a successful half-time performance for us. There were a lot of difficulties in the game, but everyone still played tenaciously and I would like to thank everyone for their efforts. Coach Lu Zhi smiled and clapped continuously, and the players immediately felt very encouraged.

"In the next two quarters of the game, I hope everyone will not have too much burden and continue to play at their level. Okay, let's take a break. Coach Lu Zhi told the players to rest in the locker room, and he himself sat on the side and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Look at what kind of birds you guys are doing?!" In the locker room of the Ten Standing Guards, Coach He Jin stood up and pointed at the players and said angrily. "You're the strongest basketball team that best represents this school, not the rookie team! Don't you feel ashamed that you are fighting like this? "Coach He Jin has been chattering endlessly.

"Okay, don't worry, He Jin... Headmaster. Zhang Rang's salty words made He Jin immediately stop complaining. Coach He Jin had nowhere to complain, so he could only sit on the stool and sulk by himself.

"Don't worry about the coach, we were still warming up in the first half and we didn't know much about the situation of the miscellaneous fish, so they made us a threat." Zhang Rang continued to smile in a relaxed tone. "But in the third quarter, there is no hope for those miscellaneous fish, because we have already learned their abilities, and if their performance is their strongest strength, then we will definitely send them into the cold hell in a minute! Hey, hey..."Zhang Rang kept smiling coldly.

"What you said is also true, classmate Zhang Rang, let me take a good look at the real strength gap between you and those ragtag armies. Hehe..."Coach He Jin closed his eyes and crossed his hands on his chest, sneering.

'There are two minutes left and everyone is ready to play. Feed... Hey..."Liu Bei saw that Liu Yan and Zhu Jun were so tired that they sat on the stool and fell asleep, he sighed and tried hard to wake them up, pushing them for a while before pushing them awake. Kong Ming was gasping for air, he felt a feeling of depression and stuffiness in his chest, it was very uncomfortable, he kept drinking water, trying to get rid of this feeling of tightness in his chest. Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth and tried to move his feet, but his feet were as difficult to move as if they were filled with lead.

"Zou Jing, you wait to take the position of Gongsun Zhan, and the other players will play according to the starting lineup." Coach Lu Zhi suddenly said something that surprised everyone.

"Ah, I don't want to admit it, but now I'm temporary... I can't play..."Gongsun Chan closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, senior!" Liu Bei gently patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go first in the third quarter, we won't give flowers easily."

"Then Kong Ming is not on it either? He's the top scorer right now. Liu Yan asked slowly.

"Kong Ming's physical fitness has reached the limit now, continue to rest, and when he can play again, I will naturally send him to play again." Coach Lu Zhi said with a smile. "Alright, everyone's going to play, get ready."

The players walked out slowly, and Liu Bei helped Gongsun Chan out. Coach Lu Zhi watched the last player walk out of the locker room, his smile gradually subsided, and his face became deep and solemn.

"I haven't said, or dare not say, that the really most difficult time for the team is coming, and this is the most serious problem that the team has in front of us - the fitness problem. There is a shortage of manpower that can be deployed, except for Liu Bei, who is full of physical fitness, everyone else is about to reach the critical point, Gongsun Chan and Kong Ming are even temporarily unable to play, and the other party has sufficient backup manpower, if there is any situation for the players of our team, I'm afraid... But I can't think too much about it, all I can do now is to continue to be patient, but I don't know if this time, whether they will be able to..."Coach Lu Zhi sighed and closed his eyes again...

Players from both sides return to the field. "Beep!" The referee blew the whistle for a replay, and the third quarter began, with the team kicking off.

"Now Senior Gongsun and Kong Ming are still resting off the field, and our offensive power will be reduced, so now the main thing is to be stable first, and then seek opportunities... Ahh Liu Bei was talking as he was talking, and suddenly he was shocked by the situation in front of him!

In front of Liu Bei, the defensive opponent was actually the opponent's small forward Cao Jie, and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were opposed by Huangfu Song and Zou Jing! Is such a scenario to attack Huangfu Song and Zou Jing, who are relatively weak in confrontation?

Cao Jie's running defense was also very entangled, Liu Bei couldn't get rid of it several times when he wanted to break through, and in the end he could only pass the ball to Zou Jing next to him.

As soon as Zou Jing took the ball, two people suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong! The two main forces of the Ten Standing Guards actually went together to defend against Zou Jing, and Zou Jing was completely stunned in a panic.

"You've been out of the limelight in the first two quarters, and now we're going to take you a little seriously, so just wait for a taste of being abused! Hehe..."Zhang Rang's treacherous laughter made Zou Jing sweat in fright and couldn't move.

"Smack!" Zhao Zhong coldly shot out the basketball in Zou Jing's hand, the ball bounced off the ground and was copied away by Zhang Rang!

Zhang let the ball control form a single knife momentum, like entering a no-man's land. Liu Bei hurriedly wanted to run back to his own half of the court to defend, but Cao Jie kept following him stubbornly, and Liu Bei couldn't pull out to defend. Before Zou Jing could react, Huangfu Song couldn't keep up with Zhang Rang's speed. Zhang Rang went all the way to the bottom of the basket of the division team, easily completed the pick-up, and the ball went into the net hollow. 22-20! Less than a minute into the start of the third quarter, the expedition team lost points!

"You miscellaneous fish, remember clearly, now is the beginning of your nightmare! Hehe..."Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at their opponents arrogantly, their eyes full of disdain.

"The situation is not good, the other party's offense and defense are completely open, and now they can't be restricted, how can this be good..."Liu Bei's worry gradually became a reality, he saw that Zou Jing was still standing in the same place without a look, and he woke up Zou Jing by waking up Kong Ming.

"I'm sorry, Ah Bei, I was really—" Zou Jing apologized to Liu Bei, but there was still uneasiness in his voice.

"I know the situation is a bit difficult for seniors, but we have to give it our all because we don't have many opportunities to make mistakes." Liu Bei sighed softly as he spoke.

"The situation is unfavorable, I think Abi should feel it." Kong Ming fidgeted on the bench. "The opponent has figured out our strength, so we will be completely controlled by the opponent, and now that the opponent's ability is played, the next situation will be more severe!"

"Kong Ming, I didn't expect you to see the opponent's first ball so thoroughly, you have a good perception of basketball." Coach Lu Zhi responded to Kong Ming in a deep tone. "Now we can only rely on solid defense to reduce the loss of ground, and hopefully my teammates on the field can survive this disaster." After Coach Lu Zhi finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
