Chapter 79: Overtime

"Flute!" The referee's whistle blows for the end of the third quarter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info score was 88:92, and the youth team was four points behind. The two sides were still tied in this quarter.

Can a Li Changgeng continue the fierce attack of the youth team?

The white-haired coach of Team USA has run out of time to answer this question. He was meditating ways to contain Li Changgeng.

The audience will tell you loudly: do you need to say this, of course!

In the third quarter, Li Zheng took a break once, Song Liuming rested twice, and Li Zhenhua was replaced three times. Li Tao has been substituted for six fouls, but his performance is not bad, scoring 10 points, and his desperate performance in defense has won the applause of all Chinese fans.

All the young and middle-aged players have taken turns to play in this final.

But among them, the position of the scoring guard has never been changed - Li Changgeng has never been rested! Just like Geng Xiangzhi's arrangement before the game: Li Changgeng must play the whole game in this game!

Thirty-six minutes in the third quarter, this is already Li Changgeng's longest playing time. In 36 minutes, Li Changgeng has scored 39 points, 11 assists, and picked up 6 rebounds.

Amazing data!

Unbeatable performance!

In the rest area on the sidelines of the Chinese Youth Team, Li Changgeng, who won this amazing data, leaned back in his chair, tilted his head and face covered with a towel, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly.

Wrapped in a towel, others couldn't tell what his face was, and they could only guess from his sweat-soaked jersey what level of physical strength he had. However, his right hand holding the drink was still strong, which made the people next to him somewhat relieved.

During this break, Geng Xiangzhi did not arrange tactics at all, with his hands behind his back, he did not make any other movements except for looking at Li Changgeng with a solemn expression.

At this time, Geng Xiangzhi has no better tactics to make the game easier.

At this time, the team's confidence in winning must not be shaken.

By this time in the game, the magical performance of the Young Emperor had become the pillar of the team, and the magical performance of the Young Emperor had become a source of confidence for the players to win the game. All Geng Xiangzhi needs to do is fully believe in him and let him continue to lead the team forward!

The rest area of the youth team was quiet.

The noise of the gymnasium quieted down at this time, and the eyes of countless spectators were focused on the boy with the towel covering his face on the chair.

"Flute!" The whistle blew.

The boy in the chair lifted the towel on his face, raised his head and took a few more sips of the drink, dropped the empty can, shook off the towel, and went on the field!

The game resumes.

The gymnasium was noisy again at the moment when Li Changgeng lifted the towel on his face.

In the last quarter, the time for the decisive battle has finally arrived.

The current five players of the youth team on the field are: Li Changgeng, Li Zheng, Song Liuming, Li Zhenhua and Liu Yong. This is the strongest lineup that Geng Xiangzhi can discharge, but among them, Song Liuming has been fouled four times, and Li Zheng and Li Zhenhua have also been fouled three times.

……

On the court, two American players immediately stepped forward to wrap the ball after Li Changgeng received the ball, and from the third quarter onwards, Li Changgeng has become the most frequent scene on the court like Li Changgeng scoring goals.

"Pap, papa......" In the sound of fast and slow dribbling, Li Changgeng was entangled with the two defenders, the dribble ended suddenly, and the basketball flew out of the crack, pointing directly at Liu Yong, who was undefended.

Pass!

Liu Yong firmly grasped the ball with both hands and raised his hands to shoot!

The players of the American team were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a person in front of Liu Yong.

Liu Yong didn't shoot, the basketball passed back, the figure outside the three-point line flashed, and Li Changgeng, who had just been trapped, was already there to catch the ball, raise his hand, and shoot the basket in a blink of an eye!

"Smack!" The basketball landed on the hoop and bounced high.

The rebound was confiscated by the U.S. team, and they fought back quickly.

The fierce confrontation under the basket, "snap" a crisp thug sound, "Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and the basketball flew to the hit at the same time, "Whew! "The ball fell into the basket.

Li Zhenhua fouled his hand, scored a goal, and added a free throw!

This is the player of the American team, super individual ability; This is the star player, who is unrelenting when it matters most.

The ball is scored.

88:95! The score stretched to seven points.

Offensive and defensive casting, the attack of the youth team.

"Smack!" A person suddenly appeared on Li Zheng's passing route and confiscated the ball - broke the ball!

The U.S. team, which broke the ball, quickly counterattacked, and a long basketball was thrown far to the position of the youth team on the other side of the court, where the U.S. team guards had been plugged in at high speed, and Li Changgeng was half a step behind and closely followed.

The ball is passed just right, and the player who receives the ball does not need any adjustment to jump directly after receiving the ball, and the basketball is raised high to dunk......

Li Changgeng jumped up half a step behind at the same time, but the distance of this half a step made him not enough to block the dunk - unless it was a foul!

Foul play?

All eyes were focused on the destined Li Changgeng at this moment.

Under the attention of all kinds, Li Changgeng Yang did not make any movement with his right hand in the hit. The "boom" basketball was heavily dunked into the basket, and the two figures fell at the same time.

The American player who dunked only now felt that there was someone behind him. Turning around, Li Changgeng's face almost rubbed his cheek, and he was shocked to retreat half a step back from such a close distance.

Li Changgeng lightly picked up the basketball on the ground and stood outside the bottom line, ready to kick off.

At 88:97, the score stretched to nine points.

In the semi-final between China and Argentina, in the fourth quarter, the United States team took advantage of the Argentine team's substitution mistakes to play a 20:2 score climax, and suddenly opened the score and finally defeated the Argentine team.

Could the same thing happen again in this game?

Never!

"Flute!" When the whistle blew, Geng Xiangzhi called a timeout.

Under the bottom line, Li Changgeng dropped the basketball in his hand and returned to the rest area.

Although a timeout was called, Geng Xiangzhi did not make any tactical changes. By this time in the game, all the cards that the youth team could play were already on the table. Pause, just to stop the momentum of the American team.

After the timeout, the game resumed.

The ball still passed to Li Changgeng's hands, and the United States team knew two players who stepped forward to wrap it.

Li Zheng stepped forward to answer, Liu Yong came out to dismantle it, Li Changgeng's ball passed to Li Zheng's hand, Li Zheng and Liu Yong made a dismantling cooperation, Li Zheng broke through, the American team blocked, the ball hit the inside Song Liu Ming's hand, Song Liu Ming was caught under the basket, the basketball flew straight to the outside, and there was a person outside the three-point line who was there to catch the ball - Li Changgeng!

Li Changgeng!

The ball really passed to Li Changgeng's hands, and the American team players who were ambushed in front of the penalty area immediately pounced-

Receiving the ball and raising his hand, outside the three-point line, Li Changgeng did not hesitate to shoot the basket pose-

The American team members who could pounce quickly jumped up to block it.

Hit two people jumping almost at the same time, who will win?

"Whoosh!" The basketball flew towards the basket with a clear sound of breaking through the air, and flew towards the basket in a high arc -

Outside the three-point line, Li Changgeng, who landed with both feet, immediately turned around and returned to defense.

"Huh!" The crisp sound of entering the network sounded when Li Changgeng took the second step.

The ball went in? The ball is in!

91:97, the gap shrank back to six points! The momentum of the U.S. team to widen the gap came to an abrupt end.

Li Changgeng used this three-point shot to tell everyone: What happened to the Argentine team will never happen to the youth team!

The game continues.

The same thing will not happen again in the youth team, the United States team cannot take another step to open the score, and the youth team that relies on Li Changgeng alone is unable to close the score. The margin of the score hovers around six points.

Can a Li Chang Gung maintain a strong attack of the Chinese youth team?

Yes, all the audience can tell you loudly!

Can a Li Chang Gung lead the youth team to victory?

Perhaps! But this didn't hurt the audience to cheer warmly for this young man of Li Changgeng.

The six-point gap has been maintained like this, every time Li Changgeng gets the ball on the field, the audience resounded with a burst of enthusiastic cheers, not only the Chinese with Eastern faces, but all the spectators in the stadium, dark-skinned, white-skinned, yellow-skinned, all the spectators cheered for this Li Changgeng boy, even if he was the ace of the opposing team.

In the final moments of the game, with 50 seconds remaining, the score was 119-185, and the margin was still six points. The youth team adopted foul tactics!

Foul free throws, players on both sides are ready to grab rebounds on the free throw line.

And in the center of the court, there was only a tired figure holding his waist and knees panting, it was Li Changgeng. Geng Xiangzhi had used up all the timeouts, and there was no chance for him to sit down and rest.

From the beginning of the game to the present, Li Changgeng is the only player on the field from both teams all the time, and the fatigue has accumulated to the point that he may fall down at any time.

Sima Shenji didn't know when he had returned to the gymnasium, and the first thing he said when he returned to the stadium with gauze wrapped in gauze was: "He can support it!" When he was even more tired than this, Li Changgeng also survived! ”

He can support it, this is not the point, Geng Xiangzhi knows that if he is replaced at this time, Chang Geng may resent himself for the rest of his life.

I can't bear such resentment!

"There are only fifty seconds left!" Geng Xiangzhi's fist in his pocket didn't know what to clench tightly.

The U.S. team's free throwers hit both free throws and didn't give the youth team any chance.

The youth team attacked, and the U.S. team marked the whole game.

The ball passed to Li Changgeng's hand, and there were forty-six seconds left.

With an eight-point gap and forty-six seconds remaining, the hope of victory seemed completely hopeless at this point.

"Papapa......" Li Changgeng, who was still weak just now, suddenly sped up, dribbled the ball in a cross step, suddenly changed speed, stepped back, raised his hand, and shook a shot to pick up the defender, and at the same time followed up and jumped up, and the arm that lifted the ball touched the defender's hand-

"Flute!" The referee's whistle blows.

"Whoosh!" The basketball left his hand at the same time, breaking a high arc, "Whew! "The basketball that brushed the net fell out of the hoop.

"Goals count, plus a free throw!"

Foul Trap!

The stadium was boiling all of a sudden, and the fans of the American team cheered excitedly, but the fans of the American team were exclaimed.

"Huh!" The ball is scored.

At 183:187, the score gap was four points left.

Thirty-eight seconds remained.

Is there still a chance?

Another foul, free throws!

"Whew", "Whew", two crisp sounds, and the two free throws all went in.

The margin turned back to six.

The youth team attacked.

His eyes were once again focused on Li Changgeng.

Li Zheng broke through with the ball, Song Liuming received the pass, Li Zhenhua went out of the three-point line to cover for Li Changgeng, and the two American players immediately stepped forward to wrap up!

At the same time, Liu Yong, the last player of the Chinese youth team, ran to the right bottom line, and no one from the American team followed.

Song Liu Ming made a gesture to pass the ball to Li Changgeng, and sure enough, the American team member jumped up to block it, "Smack!" The ball was passed to Li Zheng, Li Zheng passed with his hands, and the basketball flew straight to the right baseline.

There, Liu Yong catches the ball, raises his hand, and shoots the basket!

"Huh!" Three-pointer scored!

At 186:189, with twenty-one seconds left, the youth team seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Foul again!

Free throws again.

This time, the free throw players of the U.S. team seemed to have a slightly worse hand, or because of the huge psychological pressure, in short, both free throws were off the basket.

Song Liu Ming grabbed the rebound.

Could it be that God is really on the side of the youth team today?

It's only three minutes away, and there's still twenty seconds left.

The ball of the youth team was really handed over to Li Changgeng, and Li Changgeng personally took the ball.

The U.S. team pressed all over the court, and the two players wrapped up to defend Li Changgeng. What can Li Chang Gung do in the bag between the two opponents?

"Pop, pop" two rapid and crisp dribbling sounds, the ball changed hands from under the crotch, and two consecutive shaking of the center of gravity caused a gap in the bag.

Flash again!

The two U.S. players, who had quickly turned back to their center of gravity, collided together.

Now is the time!

"Smack!" The basketball was retracted, and the slender figure flashed over at the same time like a whirlwind.

Time, eleven seconds!

rushed, and Li Changgeng's speed skyrocketed.

The figure flashed, and another American team member stood in the way.

The back changed hands and returned to his left hand, and his body suddenly moved sideways, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that he had rushed past it. "Smack!" With another dribbling sound, the basketball returns to the right hand.

Time, nine seconds!

There was silence in the gymnasium, and the audience stared at the breakthrough of this young man's miraculous skills one by one.

The three-point line was at his feet, and two taller American players stood in front of him.

The teenager with the ball did not hesitate for a moment, "Smack!" "The ball is up, the basketball is back in the hand, and the person jumps in the hit at the same time.

The two defenders jumped up at the same time, and their four hands formed a tight wall, blocking the route of Li Changgeng's shot.

"Whoosh!" The basketball left the boy's hand and flew high above the defender's block.

Will it go in?

With a high arc, the basketball seemed to fly very slowly under the sight of thousands of spectators. "Smack!" The basketball landed on the hoop and bounced high.

The ball didn't go in!

The high-bouncing basketball flew past the players on both sides of the basket and rushed to the three-point line, and the tall American players grabbed the basketball in front of Li Changgeng and confiscated the basketball in his hands.

There are seven seconds left.

The U.S. player who grabbed the basketball held the ball high above his head.

……

Lost? Lost? All Chinese fans were blank in their minds for a moment!

No, not yet!

"Smack!" A hand hit the basketball in the hands of the American player from behind, the basketball flew towards the sideline, and a short figure grabbed the ball in his hand before the ball went out of bounds - Li Changgeng! It was Li Zheng who broke the ball!

Catching the ball and raising his hand, Li Changgeng still had time in his busy schedule, and his eyes glanced at the scoreboard, 5.3 seconds!

Time is enough!

There are 5:3 seconds left!

Three points behind!

Sima Shenji, the five main players of the Chinese Youth Team, has completely lost his combat effectiveness, and the three other players on the field are also on the verge of being sent off the court for fouls, and it is impossible for him to support another five minutes of overtime.

All of this just flashed through Li Changgeng's mind like lightning. What is the specific time of the electric flint? 0.1 seconds? Maybe less!

What to do?

The dribble in Li Changgeng's hand did not stop, and the two American players had almost rushed over at the same time when he grabbed the basketball in his hand, wrapping left and right, and the four big hands in front of him blocked every gap in the shot!

Surrounded on three sides, there is only one way to retreat. And Li Changgeng also chose this path, he retreated!

"Smack!" The ball rises, and the people retreat!

The two American team members caught up with each other in half a step-

The ball rises, falls into the hand, raises the hand, and the shooting posture has come out.

The two defenders jumped up at the same time, two huge bodies and four large hands like fans, like an impenetrable wall, blocking any predictable track to the basket!

No more shots!

Everyone can see it, but everyone also believes that the young players can shoot!

Bent his knees and raised his hands, but his body didn't bounce up for a long time, and the face of the young man who watched the two opponents rise into the sky was cold and couldn't see a trace of emotion!

"Oops, it's a feint!" Immediately behind, two American players raised their legs and pounced.

It wasn't as they imagined, the boy didn't make a feint, and his slender body bounced up and jumped on the hit - but half a second behind the defenders!

The half-second time difference is enough for the person who jumps to hit to complete the staggering of the hit: the two defenders who have jumped to the highest point and start to descend are suddenly in front of them, and the basketball is held high in his hand - he is about to shoot!

A team member has subconsciously stretched out his right hand to seal the ......

Another defender flashed a word in his mind at this time: foul trap!

"Smack!" The sound of the palm concentrating on the wrist - but it was the wrist of the American player who hit his teammate's block.

Surprise flashed across the face of the hit boy!

"Flute!" A beep sounds, "Whoosh! "The basketball leaves the palm of the hand at the same timeβ€”

"Huh!" The ball is in!

"Flute!" The referee's whistle blows.

Goal scored, extra time.

"Overtime! Is there any mistake, it is even going to be overtime! "It was the reaction of the fans of the American team, and it was very upset that the game was dragged into overtime.

I thought I was going to win, but it ended up being tied and going into overtime.

There is no doubt that there will be new changes in the game after overtime, and who will win and who will lose at that time is not necessarily the case.

"Beautiful, this ball is so beautiful, Li Changgeng threw it so well, we still have hope in overtime." Fans who support the youth team are very excited, and they see hope that they may be able to turn the tables and beat the United States team in extra time.

"Haha, it's overtime, this game is really exciting, and it's interesting again." It's neutral fans and they're happy, but only because the game was exciting.

On the field, all the substitutes on the bench of the Chinese youth team pounced on the field and high-fived Li Changgeng.

It is precisely because of Li Changgeng's key goal that the game has renewed hope, and when it comes to overtime, it is not certain who will die.

Li Zheng grinned, greeted Li Changgeng, high-fived Li Changgeng, and said, "Li, well done." ”

"You're doing a beautiful job, too." Li Changgeng said with a smile, "We have to play hard in overtime, this is our opportunity, and we can't afford to lose it." ”

"Hmm." Li Zheng nodded, and a sense of battle rose in both of them.

The players of the U.S. team looked very depressed, leading almost the whole game, and were tied at the last minute, entering overtime, and no one would be happy.

"Made, did the youth team step on shit?" Howard cursed under his breath.

Chris squinted his eyes, gasped for breath, stared straight at Li Changgeng with his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "I knew that you were not so easy to defeat." Let's go overtime, even if we still have a few minutes to play, the result won't change and I'll beat you. ”

Garcia was also depressed, and with extra time, who knows what the game will turn out of? He shook his head and whispered to himself, "No matter, anyway, I'll fight later." ”

China.

The officials of the Basketball Association were surprised, originally thought that the Chinese youth team would lose, but in fact, the Chinese youth team was indeed behind the whole game, but who knew that at the last moment, it actually went into overtime.

"This game ...... Interesting! ”

Everyone can only feel like this, overtime will be overtime, maybe it is the immortal youth team!

Whether it is Hongcheng or other places, almost all the people who are watching this game support the youth team. For them, the game entering overtime is like a shot in the arm, a life-sustaining plaster, which gives the youth team hope again, and also makes the fans refresh.

Countless people prayed in their hearts for the youth team that they could beat the United States team in extra time and win the championship.

At Li Changgeng's house, Li Changgeng's grandparents patted their chests, obviously too nervous.

"This game is really tense, my heart is ......" Grandpa Li Changgeng shook his head, feeling that he couldn't stand this kind of stimulation.

"Uncle, then don't look at it, your body matters." Uncle Li Changgeng said, "Why don't you go into the house and rest for a while, and when the game is over, I'll tell you the result." ”

"Nope." Grandpa Li Changgeng shook his head, "I've been watching it for so long, how can I miss the last few minutes." He waved his hand and said domineeringly, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

The uncle and his wife looked at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.

Selena patted her chest, and it took a while for her nervous mood to calm down, but she immediately became nervous again: "Brother, do you say Li Changgeng can they win?" ”

"It's hard to say, win or lose." Tom said.

Selena pursed her lips, her face suddenly collapsed, seeing her like this, Tom secretly smiled bitterly, and hurriedly changed his words: "Actually, I think the Chinese youth team has a bigger chance of winning." ”

Sure enough, hearing this, Selena immediately came to her senses and asked, "Why?" ”
