Chapter 39: Battle of the Raptors (6)
When he landed on the ground with his feet just after shooting the basket, the right foot that landed first on the ground suddenly felt cramps and weakness again, his knees weakened, and the weight of his body suddenly fell on his ankles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a piercing pain came from the ankle of the right foot, and the heel that landed on the ground could no longer support it, and the body fell heavily to the ground. After falling to the ground, the cramp in the right leg and calf was even stronger, and the body involuntarily curled up together holding the right leg with both hands.
The corner of his eyes saw that the assistant coach on the sidelines was running over, blocking it with his left hand and shouting, "Don't come here!" "You can't come here, it's still in the game, and you'll be whistled for a foul.
The players in the field quickly ran over and nervously gathered around. His right hand was quietly hidden in his jersey, and his left hand stood up with difficulty.
The whistle blew and the referee walked over.
"It doesn't matter to you, does it? Will you still be able to compete? Do you need to make a substitution? β
Nodding slightly, Li Changgeng squeezed out a relaxed smile and said, "There is no need to change, the game can continue!" With his right foot on the ground, he tried to make a note of it, and then walked a few more steps. Turning to the pale teaching assistant outside the line, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I just fell."
The teaching assistant just looked at Li Changgeng tightly, biting his lip tightly and not saying a word.
Pressing down the sense of guilt in his heart, Li Changgeng turned around and ran to our position, "Let's go, let's go back!" β
His eyes quietly fell on the scoreboard: in the ninth minute of the second half, the score was 56:49, only seven points away. Eleven minutes to go, please hold on!
In the stands. The Raptors coach looked a little excited, his eyes flashed with a deep and fiery gaze, and he said in a deep voice: "The so-called trump card is to stand up and turn the tide of the game when the team is at a disadvantage." The so-called king is that no matter how many blows and setbacks he encounters, no matter how strong the opponent is, he is always full of high morale, inspires the players with high fighting spirit, and guides the team to victory with strong ball skills. Reporter Min, do you know that in the history of NCAA basketball for more than ten years, there has been the best player every year, why he is the only one who is crowned the king of the ball? β
Min Hangyu's expression was serious, he was calming his emotions, and Fang Fang nodded for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Amazing ball skills, indomitable fighting spirit, maybe these are these two reasons!" β
The Raptors coach nodded slightly, not speaking.
Smith was tightly grabbed by Li Changgeng who fell to the ground until he was in a hurry, and it was not until Li Changgeng stood up that he finally regained his composure. As early as the first moment when he had the idea of taking Li Changgeng under his command, he couldn't help but pay attention to him as his own player.
On the court, the Raptors once again easily put the basketball into the basket. Our defense is just too poor for the Raptors' offense.
At 58:49, the score was once again extended to nine points.
Our ball was once again passed to Li Changgeng's hands, and there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers in the gymnasium. I took a deep breath and tried the feeling of my right foot, it's almost, let's go!
The right foot stepped out, and the basketball changed from left to right hand in the blink of an eye. The two defenders they faced were still the two strongest aces of Pierce and Pinault Raptors. This time it was a positional offensive and defensive battle without any fancy tricks.
Calm and calm, Li Changgeng could not see the slightest excess negative emotions from them.
After the rapidly changing pace, the uncertain, fluttering and wonderful dribbling, and the endless changes of feints, the tacit understanding between the two people in front finally revealed a flaw.
There was a sudden force on the foot, and the basketball was switched to the right hand with the heel against the heel. A quick turn with his right foot as the axis flashed past Pierce, and Li Changgeng quickly rushed through the encirclement of the two with the ball.
It's a penalty area again, how are you going to attack this time? The abruptly stopped figure suddenly exploded with the power of his right foot, and jumped high behind him - and shot the basket backwards!
"Whoosh, whoosh......" There was a shadow in front of him, and three tall bodies hit the group and surrounded Li Changgeng's front.
No basket in sight!
The basketball in the hand "Smack!" A thud disappeared at the feet of heroin, where Leonard had just rushed into the Raptors' interior.
With a crisp shot to the basket, Leonard should have scored.
The joy in my heart had not yet risen, and after my feet hit the ground, my right foot was numb, and my backward body suddenly fell. "Boom!" The sound of a heavy impact on the floor, a person rolling on the floor!
The figure rolling on the floor rushed out of the field and stopped, hunched over, holding its legs, its bodies completely curled together. The body trembled violently while clutching his right leg, and the painful expression on his pale face showed that the person on the ground was in extreme pain.
He's cramping! Viewers with a little common sense can see it at a glance.
Someone in our lounge area was standing up as early as the figure fell to the ground. A beautiful figure rushed to the side of the fallen figure in the blink of an eye.
"Joon!" A familiar gentle voice sounded softly in my ears, it was a teaching assistant! When she opened her eyes, she saw her pale and frightened face. A pair of soft hands gently hugged Li Changgeng's trembling arm, and the violent tremors slowly descended.
There was a nervous shout all around, and it was the players who were watching the game from the sidelines. The injured right hand, which was holding the ankle tightly, was gently held and removed, and the numb right foot seemed to be being removed by someone.
Fade socks? The sluggish brain suddenly reacted: "Don't move your socks!" β
It's late, and the socks have been removed.
There was a burst of exclamations around, and there was a bang inside and outside the field. Under the gaze of everyone, the bandages on the feet could not be hidden.
"Li Chang Gung ......"
"Boss!" The exclamations of the team members rang out one after another.
"What's the matter, it turns out that he has been suffering from a foot injury......" The audience laughed in horror.
"Liar, he looks so brave just now, where is the ...... of injury"
The time for the technical pause is over. The game has to start again.
"Flute!" The referee's whistle immediately silenced the buzz, "The Raptors request a timeout!" β
Pause, pause at this time? Did the Raptors deliberately give their opponents a chance to heal?
Regardless of whether there was any special reason for the Raptors to pause at this time, the players of our team hurried to quickly carry Li Changgeng on the ground to the sidelines.
In the stands.
Lucas stood up involuntarily as soon as Li Changgeng fell to the ground, and the drink in his right hand was held tightly, and in a "crackling" sound, it turned into a ball of scrap metal.
There was silence in the players' area, except for Ka Sesame muttering to himself: "His right foot is really injured......"
The Raptors coach's hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, and his body involuntarily leaned forward, as if he wanted to get closer to see if Li Changgeng's injury was important.
Min Hangyu's face was full of shock and nervousness: "It turns out that he has always had an injury to his right foot, no wonder he falls and cramps one after another." Until now, he's been running so fast and jumping so high......"
"It's going to be okay, is it?" That's all Smith seems to say.
"Is there going to be a repeat of what happened four years ago?" The whispering of chatter spread quietly in the stadium.
In our rest area, the bandage on our feet was gently untied by the assistant coach, and the numb right leg began to feel a little pain.
The surrounding people exclaimed: "God, it's so swollen!" β
His gaze fell on his ankle, and a lump like a steamed bun appeared in sight. It turned out to be swollen again! Was it those two back-shot baskets? Li Changgeng gently pressed down with his fingers, and the severe pain instantly spread from his ankles to his whole body. gasped, Li Changgeng endured it and didn't scream.
"Boss!" Mozart's voice seemed to be a little hoarse, and his eyes were red.
Paul next to him was too, with a deep voice: "Boss, let's play!" β
"Li Changgeng!" Harris, expectant gaze.
"Li Changgeng!" Beethoven, begging expression.
"Li Changgeng!" Teaching assistant, her face became more and more pale, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"You guys?" The right hand was gently removed from the ankle, and Li Changgeng looked around at them with burning eyes.
Mozart nodded heavily and said, "I know!" Tilting his head and roaring, "We are strong!" We are a strong team! β
"We're strong, we're a strong team!" The four of them shouted loudly at the same time.
Li Changgeng's ears suddenly buzzed, and he quickly covered his ears and scolded: "Bastard, your ears are about to be deafened by you!" These guys, still remember Li Changgeng's "motivational lines" just now, what a fool!
There was no hippie smile as usual, and Li Changgeng's trick to liven up the atmosphere had no effect. I can't see the slightest smile on my face, what a failure!
"Boss!"
"Li Changgeng!"
One by one, their expressions were firm, and their burning eyes were staring at Li Changgeng tightly.
couldn't stand such a solemn atmosphere, Li Changgeng spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture: "Okay! The players on the field stay with Leonard, and the four of you will play! β
"Boss ......"
"Li Chang Gung ......"
It's still these two sentences, and these guys don't seem to say anything else today.
"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded, "Our team substitution!" β
Holding the shoulders of the assistant coach, Li Changgeng walked towards the locker room. Behind him was the burning gaze of the players. At the door of the locker room, Li Changgeng turned around and looked at his teammates deeply: "Li Changgeng will come back, Li Changgeng will definitely come back in the last five minutes!" β
Pushed open the door and walked in with the support of the teaching assistant. The door to the locker room was closed, cutting off the view from behind.
(: Let's hear what our team members have to say!) οΌ
"Li Changgeng is injured!"
"The boss's foot is hurt, and it's been hurting all the time!"
"We don't even know when he got the wound on his foot!"
"I thought that his right hand had gradually recovered, and today's boss is in peak condition. But ......"
"Of course he's going to get hurt."
"From the NCAA to now, we have almost let Chang Geng Lee take all the responsibilities alone. In every game, the strongest opponent and the most difficult task were all taken care of by Li Changgeng.
"From the first game, he was exhausted at the end of almost every game and needed someone to help him get off the field.
"From the first fight, he's been playing against opponents who are a level ahead of him.
"When playing against North Carolina, Li Changgeng faced Zhao Tong, whose body strength far exceeded his own, and he was injured in that game and was carried out of the field by everyone.
"When playing against the other party, the other four of us were completely frozen, and Li Changgeng alone resisted the attack power of the entire opponent. In that race, he fell asleep before he got to the car.
"When he faced Selock, he faced Selock's strongest inside, doing the tiring work of grabbing rebounds and defending the basket, and his opponents were 'monsters' whose body strength was not inferior to Zhao Tong.
"Yesterday's game against Katarina, today's game against the Raptors, the most difficult task is still Li Changgeng. Continuous overdraft, muscles are in a state of fatigue for a long time, and it is a strange thing not to be injured! β
"But why didn't we realize it so much?"
"Even though he is the only football king in the country, the boss is only sixteen years old!"
"'We are not Li Changgeng alone!' Why do we only realize that victory and honor are not Li Changgeng's own, but we have not thought that our responsibility is not Li Changgeng's personal responsibility? β
"Li Changgeng is also our main player, but he has watched the boss fight alone on the sidelines until now!"
"Abominable ......"
"From now on, even if you fight for this life, you will definitely not take half a step back!"
"Even if you hold their legs, you must not let them score again!"
It's on the field. Beethoven, who had always had a gentle smile on his face, was grim at this time. looked around at the players and said coldly: "After the game, we switched to the whole field to mark people, do you have any opinions?" β
"Just use the whole audience to mark people!" Paul shook his fist fiercely, "Even if you fight hard, you must definitely keep the score that the boss has chased!" β
"Harris, you're in charge of the shooting part, is there a problem?"
Nodding firmly: "No problem!" β
Leonard also said firmly: "Li Changgeng and the captain are responsible for covering, even if they block with their bodies, they will tear up the gap for you to shoot the basket!" β
"Then let's get on!"
The game resumes. Not only the Raptors, but everyone in the audience noticed the change in our team. The members of our team who appeared on the stage had blood-red eyes and a hideous momentum, all of them like beasts that chose people and devoured them. The Raptors who bore the brunt of the attack met the blood-red eyes of our team members, almost feeling like they were being stared at by the devouring beasts.
Locker room.
The assistant teacher gently rubbed the marks made by the bandage, lightly sprayed Li Changgeng's injured ankle with medicine, bit his lip and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" β
Usually in this case, the actor always answers "it doesn't hurt" hardly, Li Changgeng doesn't want to be vulgar, but after half a day, he only squeezes out one sentence: "It doesn't hurt!" Raising her head slightly, she glanced at Li Changgeng gently. Facing her wordless gaze, Li Changgeng's mind exploded, and his heart fluttered. Reproach, pity, and distress, Li Changgeng clearly understood the content in her eyes.
After a short circuit in his head for a long time, he barely regained his ability to think, his eyes fell on his ankles, his brain was suddenly clear, and he urged slightly: "Help Li Changgeng bandage it!" β
The assistant coach held the bandage in his hand but didn't move immediately, lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, and said softly: "Do you really want to play?" β
"Hmm!" A gentle sound, containing incomparable firmness.
She bit her lip tightly and didn't move for a long time. Suddenly raised his head, seemed to muster up courage, and said firmly: "Give up, don't play again, you have done your best......"
Her change came so suddenly, Li Changgeng was stunned and said, "No, I have to play!" He looked at her and added easily, "My injuries are not as good as you imagined." This pain is nothing to me. For the past six months, I have had to endure a hundredfold of pain every day. Of course, Li Changgeng is not showing off his perseverance, but he just wants her to understand that Li Changgeng is used to this pain.
However, it seems to have had the opposite effect. The teaching assistant suddenly raised her head, her beautiful jade face was so pale that she didn't see the slightest blood, her eyes were full of heartache, and a trace of red appeared quietly on her biting lips, and her gnat-like voice seemed to be saying to herself: "That's why I want you to give up." β
The room was quiet, and Li Changgeng clearly captured her words and looked at her in amazement.
"I'm really worried......" seems to be muttering to himself, and seems to be crying out hoarsely, "Please, give up, I'm really worried about ......"
"Selena ......" set off waves in his heart, and Li Changgeng opened his mouth wide and didn't say a word for a long time.
Her tears flowed out of her beautiful eyes, and a huge wave was set off in her heart, staring at her who couldn't cry, and a heart-wrenching feeling instantly spread throughout her body. Sad, pitiful, pear blossoms with rain, and pitiful are not enough to describe the teaching assistant at this time. Stretched out his left hand and gently wiped the tears on her face, and wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her that Li Changgeng was not playing. In the end, I held back.
"Trust me!" Raising her head and staring into her eyes, Li Changgeng said firmly, "This time, absolutely not!" β
A fragrant wind flashed in front of him, and the warm fragrant nephrite rushed into his arms, Yun Yun hugged Li Changgeng's waist tightly, her body kept trembling, and the crying voice sounded in her ears: "Why, why do you have to play, why do you have to hold on......"
Inside the gymnasium.
Our Optimus Prime No. 24 Li Changgeng got off the field, and watched his back disappear at the door of the locker room, and the audience was already sure that he would not be able to play in the next game.
The possibility of our team's last victory is also gone. There are already viewers who have made such assertions.
However, after the restart, our performance silenced all such "prophecy dormitories" at the same time. On the court, our players took the lead one by one, and they fought hard everywhere from the front court to the back court.
"Smack, smack!" With two crisp dribbles, Pierce got rid of his stubborn opponent and was about to rush forward with the ball, when a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him and snatched the basketball in his hand.
"Block him, don't let him shoot!" Before the voice fell, the white figure had already jumped high, and the basketball in his hand shot high. In front of him, two identical white figures were blocking the opposing defenders with their bodies.
"Smack!" The basketball flies out of boundaries. "It's not on the ground yet, chase it!" A white figure flew out with the basketball and pulled the ball back into the court the moment it hit the ground. "Boom!" The figure that flew out slammed into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it got up and rushed to the field.
"Smack!" Grab a rebound! Heroin roared and grabbed the rebound in his hand first. "Boom!" On the floor, two white figures fell to the ground. After standing firm, heroin was about to take a shooting pose, but found that the two white figures who had just fallen to the ground were clinging to it.
Fall, get up, fall again, get up again. Use your body to block the opponent's pace and prevent the opponent from shooting the basket even if you foul. Our team members perfectly interpret what it means to be desperate and what it means to be desperate.
If the technique is not as good as the opponent, the momentum cannot be lost to the opponent. Every member of our team has this awareness. The most important thing in defense is not technique, but momentum. There's no doubt that our defence has that momentum. Constantly pressing, constantly counter-grabbing, the mighty Raptors were forced to be in a hurry for a while. The score gap could not be opened for a long time.
The Raptors are Raptors after all, and although they were disrupted for a while, they gradually controlled the pace of the game under the leadership of Pierce. With accurate passing, tacit cooperation has regained the advantage.
Time, 14 minutes and 50 seconds in the second half, the score was 67:53, and the score was once again expanded to 15 points. But at this time, our team members did not show the slightest discouragement on their faces, and their fighting spirit was more high-spirited and their momentum was stronger.
"Smack!" The basketball in Pinole's hand was shot out of bounds, and a white figure flew out of bounds after the basketball.
"Bump!" It really hit the ground. "Damn, just a little bit!" Leonard pounded the ground, struggling to get up. A hand reached out to him, "Good job!" β
Raising his head, "Li Changgeng!" He cheered in surprise.
"Boss ......"
"Li Changgeng ......" The players in the field suddenly boiled and rushed over one by one.
Li Changgeng reached out to help Leonard up, his jersey was completely soaked with sweat. Several other team members who came up were also sweating profusely.
"Li Changgeng is back!" greeted the players with a smile, turned his head to the referee and said, "Li Changgeng wants to be replaced!" β
"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded, "Our team requests a substitution!" β
"O'Neill, go down and rest!"
Leonard nodded and high-fived Li Changgeng head-on: "Next, please!" β
"No problem!" Walking into the stadium with his head held high, looking around at the players around him, Li Changgeng said proudly: "Go on!" From now on, chase back point by point! β
"Good ......" Our team, which was even more high-spirited, shouted in unison.
In the deserted lounge, a figure sat on the floor in front of the cupboard, his head buried in his knees and whimpering, his shoulders still shakingβit was a teaching assistant.
"Our 24th is back!"
"Li Changgeng is back!"
"Can he still compete?" There was a lot of talk in the stands.
Ke Bo said coldly: "There are only five minutes left, the score is fifteen points apart, and the opponent is the Raptors." Even if Li Changgeng can still be so brave, I'm afraid there is no way! β
