Chapter 80: Second overtime
Tom was sweating profusely, he just said this, comforting Selena, but he didn't expect Selena to take it seriously, and asked carefully. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he thought about it and said: "Look, the Chinese youth team is behind the whole game, and they can equalize at the last moment, so the momentum is different." On the other hand, the U.S. team, who led the whole game and were dragged into overtime in the end, will definitely have an impact on their mentality. ”
"Under the trade-off, the winning chance of the youth team is naturally greater."
After listening, Selena smiled sweetly and said very seriously: "I think so too, I believe that Li Changgeng and they will definitely win." ”
"Well, I believe it too." Tom nodded hurriedly, turned to look at the computer screen, and said in his heart, "Li Changgeng, you kid has to fight, you must win." ”
......
Going into overtime, the U.S. team still started the five Tigers.
The U.S. team attacked, Chris advanced to the front court with the ball, and quickly handed the ball to Garcia, Garcia and his teammates made a block, entered the interior line, made a gesture to shoot, attracted Song Liuming to make up for the defense, and then quickly gave a ball to Howard, Howard hit the board.
Turning around, the Chinese youth team is attacking here, just like just now, the defense of the American team makes Li Zheng, Li Zhenhua, and Yu Chenglong have no chance, and it has become very difficult to even get rid of the opponent.
"Pick-and-roll, cross-running." Li Changgeng shouted at his teammates, made a block with Li Zheng, and quickly passed the ball back to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng did not play, but sideways on the three-point line, forming a human wall. At this time, Li Zhenhua began to run backwards, passing past Li Zheng, Li Zheng just blocked Wallace, a small forward who followed Li Zhenhua, and then handed the ball to Li Zhenhua.
Finally ran out of the empty position, Li Zhenhua took the ball to the side, stepped on the three-point line and pulled it up.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, this goal did not go in.
Fortunately, Song Liuming was in a good position, he got the rebound first, Li Changgeng cut in the air, Song Liuming quickly passed to Li Changgeng, Li Changgeng took the ball as a gesture to throw, but Chris, who was sticking to him, was not fooled.
Seeing this, Li Changgeng lowered his center of gravity, clicked his toes twice, and then quickly retracted his feet, started, and broke through from the left side, which frightened Chris Lian to take a step back.
But at this moment, Li Changgeng suddenly turned around with his back to the outside, hooked the ball with his left hand, turned his body three hundred and sixty degrees, jumped up, and leaned back to shoot.
"Huh!"
Hollow hits
Seeing this ball, the fans in the audience were stunned.
Yao Ming, who was sitting in the front row, was also happy, leaned over to Kobe's side, and said to Kobe: "Kobe, this is your action again, turn over and lean back, almost exactly the same as you." ”
"Hehe, it's pretty much the same as me." Kobe Bryant also smiled and looked at the field, Li Changgeng just looked at him, with a smile on his face, put his hands on his chest, bowed slightly, and made a gesture to pay tribute to Kobe, which immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
Tens of thousands of fans suddenly went crazy, Li Changgeng first made a step-back jumper to accelerate the breakthrough, and then turned his back and leaned back, two consecutive Kobe Bryant's movements, it turned out to be to pay tribute to Kobe? Such a move immediately touched countless audiences.
Especially Kobe Bryant's fans, at this moment, they simply love Li Changgeng to death, and their intimacy with Li Changgeng has instantly risen to a new height and become Li Changgeng's diehard.
Of course, Li Changgeng actually didn't think so much, he just saw Kobe Bryant coming, so he thought of doing it, just wanted to give Kobe a gift, and didn't think about it so much.
Seeing Li Changgeng's action, Kobe Bryant was also shocked, even stood up, clenched his right hand into a fist, hammered twice on his left chest, pursed his mouth, and his eyes seemed to be a little moist.
For Li Changgeng, Kobe felt like his own apprentice, and it was precisely because of this that Li Changgeng participated in Kobe Bryant's training camp and went head-to-head with Kobe Bryant in Staples, and Kobe Bryant would guide him.
......
On the field, the game continues.
With this twist and turn, the atmosphere on the field has become a little weird, the people of the American team seem to be a little out of shape, and the players of the youth team seem to be sleepwalking.
For a few minutes, the players on both sides, except for Li Changgeng, who became more and more brave, could not find the basket, and they hit the iron one after another, one after another, and they never got tired of it.
In the twelfth minute of the first half, the white-haired coach called a timeout again.
This time, the gray hair replaced Howard, Garcia, and Chris, leaving only Smith and Wallace on the court, and three others lined up.
After all, the first half has been played for twelve minutes, and the physical exertion of several starters is also very large, not to mention that the state is not very good, rather than going on like this, it is better to let them rest and recover their physical strength, and then continue to fight in the second half.
On the side of the youth team, Geng Xiangzhi also had the same idea, replacing Li Changgeng and Song Liuming, as well as Yu Chenglong, and replacing them with Li Zheng and Sima Shenji.
The offensive core of this lineup is Sima Shenji, and he performed very well after he went up, and he played well on the inside.
The last time against the United States team, Sima Shenji's performance was not outstanding, but this time he was obviously more adaptable than last time, not only did a good job on the defensive end, but also made a big show on the offensive end, even shooting and freethrowing, and scored 7 points alone.
"Toot ......"
.......
In the last three seconds, the ball of the American team was not suspended, and the American team made free throws, and Chris only had time to dribble the ball, and then pushed the ball hard.
"Toot ......"
At the end of overtime, the whistle blew, and the ball bounced off the rebound, not even hitting the basket, and bounced straight away.
"It's overtime again!"
"What a ......"
Fans who support the U.S. team are going to scold - mother, what the hell is going on, don't talk about one overtime, and play another overtime, and it's over?
The players of the U.S. team all looked a little dull, on the one hand, they were tired, on the other hand, they were suffocated, and they were really depressed.
Two times in a row, both times it was a crucial lead, and it was tied at the last moment.
"Damn the youth team!"
"The second overtime, when will this be over? Do you have to play the third overtime? ”
The players of the American team are secretly cursing in their hearts, they have played so many games this season, and they have not encountered such a thing as today, leading the whole game and being dragged into overtime, and the last seconds of overtime were dragged into overtime. This is the finals, two overtimes in a row, do you still have the strength to play?
In fact, the players of the youth team have little strength, but they are still very happy, there is still hope in extra time, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, they have to fight until the end.
China.
A group of officials of the Basketball Association were dumbfounded, and countless fans sitting in front of the computer were also dumbfounded, and they didn't expect to play the second overtime.
On forums such as Amber Flutter, Penguin Sports News, Sina APP, and 3G Sports, countless fans were also dizzy.
"This game ...... It's so suspenseful! ”
"Well, I'm worried about the players, should I have to play a third overtime? This is the rhythm that will tire people to death. ”
"Haha, it's overtime again, the sky is immortal in the youth team, now there is another chance."
"Yes, support the youth team and fight back against ......"
......
Arena, USA.
Coach Geng Xiangzhi looked solemn, frowned and glanced at the players who were sweating profusely and wheezing violently, then shook his head, shook off the plan to replace, and said: "Boys, hold on a little longer, I know you are all tired, but you must not give up at this time." ”
Everyone was shocked: "Coach, don't worry, we won't give up even if we are tired!" ”
"Hmm." Geng Xiangzhi nodded, this time is too critical, he can't be replaced, because any small change may affect the outcome of the game, if you change to a substitute, he must have more physical strength, but at such a critical moment, will he definitely be able to score?
Not necessarily!
The more critical moments like this, in fact, it is still the main players, especially the core players, who have to rely on their performance.
On the side of the U.S. team, the white-haired coach made a substitution, except for Chris, Garcia, and, the other two were replaced and substituted.
This is the strength of the U.S. team, their bench is deep enough that the quality of the bench is not much worse than that of the main players.
So, except for Garcia and Chris who can't be exchanged, everyone else can be changed.
......
"Toot ......"
The second overtime begins.
Team USA Offensive ......
At this time, the U.S. team still revolves around Chris and Garcia, and only when there is an open opportunity will others shoot, playing more cautiously.
On the side of the youth team, everyone also revolves around Li Changgeng and Li Zhenglai, both of whom have a lot of physical exertion, and after the first goal was not scored, Li Changgeng reduced his shots and consciously created opportunities for Song Liuming. Song Liuming has the ability and physical strength, and it is time for him to play.
"Give." Li Changgeng broke through, shouted, hit the ground from the crack of the person, and passed the ball to Song Liu Ming.
Song Liuming didn't pause at all after getting the ball, and directly dribbled forward, jumped and threw it into the basket.
........
China, Basketball Association.
A group of people sat in the office, taking advantage of the intermission, everyone also relaxed, drinking water, talking about it.
"Li Changgeng's performance today is okay, although he seemed a little impulsive at first, but he quickly controlled it."
"Well, it seems that he is far more mature than his peers, and he can have a good performance in such a scene. It's a pity that the comprehensive strength of the youth team is a cut below that of the American team. ”
"Yes, the youth team is in danger today......"
Everyone is spontaneously discussing, and their opinion of Li Changgeng is good, but they obviously think that the Chinese youth team is unlikely to win today.
In front of thousands of households and countless computers, thousands of fans are also sighing.
Most people think that the youth team can't win against the United States, but there are also many people who support the youth team, if nothing else, just because Li Changgeng is in the youth team, no matter what, they all support the youth team.
At the forum, seeing that the youth team was lagging behind, those who were black Li Changgeng finally found an opportunity and became active again.
"See? The youth team is just like that, they are finished facing a real strong team, and they are determined to lose today. ”
"What can Li Changgeng do? That's it, if he is really that awesome, he will overthrow the American team alone! ”
Of course, these people can only say these unnutritious words, and not many people respond, after all, everyone knows very well that basketball is not one person, Li Changgeng played well enough today, and the reason why the youth team is lagging behind is that the youth team as a whole is a little worse.
Although there is also Song Liuming in the youth team on the bench lineup, he alone cannot be compared with the full members of the American team.
Obviously, the youth team suffers from the depth of the bench.
......
At the beginning of the "......" game, the youth team attacked, and Ken Yang quickly distributed the ball after crossing the middle line and gave it to Song Liuming, the only core of this lineup.
"I'm the only core of this squad, I have to play well, I have to hold my ground." Song Liu Ming secretly said in his heart, taking the ball is a false shake, and then accelerating inward, hitting the defender, and scoring with a hook hand.
"yes, it's a goal, there's a lot of hope......" Song Liuming also waved his fist excitedly.
This goal was scored and the difference was further narrowed.
However, when the ball was converted, the U.S. team quickly returned one, or a 2+1, not only scored the ball, but also earned a foul, and the penalty was also hit.
"The difference is 7 points."
The youth team attacked, the United States team strengthened the defense of Song Liuming, Song Liuming did not have a good chance, and quickly distributed the ball to his teammates, and Paul couldn't shoot.
Team USA counters ......
In a blink of an eye, a few rounds passed, and Song Liuming played well on the side of the youth team, but the others were killed by the opponent's defense and failed to do anything.
On the other hand, the United States team, although the five players on the field are all substitutes, everyone plays very confidently, cooperates with each other very tacitly, and the offense and defense are orderly.
Compared with the two, the youth team naturally fell into a disadvantage, and the score was getting bigger and bigger.
By the fifth minute of extra time, the youth team was already 11 points behind, and the margin reached double digits.
Geng Xiangzhi called a pause, his face was a little gloomy: "Li Changgeng, Deng Yu, Li Zhenhua, Li Zheng, a few of you." Song Liuming stayed on the court, still playing center, and the others played. After speaking, he looked at Li Changgeng, "Li, take out your scoring ability, we need you to score." ”
"Yes." Li Changgeng nodded heavily.
Geng Xiangzhi changed to this lineup to let Li Changgeng score, and now Li Changgeng is the only core of this lineup, enjoying the right to fire without restrictions.
"Bang!"
The ball bounced out of the frame, Li Zheng missed the second free throw, and Garcia got the rebound, Li Zheng yelled in annoyance and quickly turned back to defense.
The U.S. team advanced quickly, and the ball quickly crossed the halfway line and went to Chris, who took the ball and made a block with his teammates, and burst in, but did not play it himself, but gave the ball to Garcia's hand.
"Roaring ......"
Garcia took the ball and half turned, raised his arms high, faced Li Zheng's defense, and relied on his height advantage to complete a violent dunk.
In an instant, the fans who supported the American team cheered wildly.
The fans of the youth team responded with huge boos.
The more you get to the end, the more tense the atmosphere becomes, the more excited the fans become, and the whole stadium is noisy and loud, even outside the stadium.
The fiery atmosphere is burning, and the fight between the two sides has become more and more intense......
"Toot ......"
When the whistle sounded, Li Changgeng's breakthrough was dragged down fiercely, his body lost balance, and he could only fall down, draw a distance on the floor, and buffer it.
"Are you alright?"
"How are you?"
The players of the youth team all gathered around.
"I'm fine, little mean." Li Changgeng got up neatly, smiled at his teammates, and then walked to the free throw line and scored the ball steadily.
Turning around, the U.S. team attacked, Chris stared at Beethoven to get inside, and one and a half turned around Beethoven to get ready for a layup. Li Zheng flew in and slapped Chris's arm, slapping Chris all down.
The whistle is blowing again!
Chris was furious, rushed to Li Zheng and stretched out his hand to push Li Zheng, and yelled at Li Zheng, "your grandma-." ”
"Made, what did you say? Kind of you say it again? Li Zheng was also angry, and pushed Chris hard, Chris put his arm up, and the two were entwined together.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the referee quickly rushed over, and the players on both sides also stepped forward one after another to pull their respective players apart, even if they were separated, Chris and Li Zheng were still scolding each other, the scolding was very ugly, and a lot of sentences passed into the ears of the referee.
Geng Xiangzhi patted his forehead, and his heart was finished.
Sure enough, the referee blackened his face and gave Li Zheng and Chris a technical foul, but fortunately, it was only a first-degree technical foul.
The two sides went to the free throw line, and the Chinese youth team was Li Changgeng on the side, and there was no problem with two free throws and two hits; On the U.S. side, Howard hit only one of the two free throws.
It was still the ball of the American team, the ball was given to Chris, he toed a little, and then suddenly accelerated, turned his back, and hit it backwards.
"The U.S. team leads by five points."
At this time, there were more than two minutes left in the overtime game.
The youth team attacked, Li Zheng did not score a hook under the basket, Garcia got the rebound and gave it to Howard, Howard pushed forward unhurriedly, pressed the time, and waited until there were 8 seconds left in the 30-second offensive time to pass the ball, and gave it to Garcia, Garcia turned around and threw his left hand.
"Bang", and didn't enter.
The ball was picked up by Li Changgeng who rushed in, and he quickly launched a counterattack, full speed, and in a blink of an eye, he threw everyone away and scored a layup.
With more than a minute left, the U.S. team attacked, pressed the time as usual, and finally gave it to Garcia, Garcia lifted the ball, distributed the ball to the outside, Chris took the ball to accelerate, and a dodge entered the inside line, leaning on Li Zheng's lever to go up.
Geng Xiangzhi called a pause and rearranged it.
With one minute and eight seconds left, the Chinese youth team attacked, Li Changgeng handed over the ball after crossing the halfway, and he quickly ran back, pulled out the space, received the ball, and made a gesture to shoot three points.
Jumping ball, this time the youth team went up to jump the ball is Song Liu Ming, he is full of physical strength, and the bounce is not bad, and finally suppressed Garcia, who has a huge physical exertion, touched the ball first, and gave the ball to Li Changgeng, Li Changgeng pressed it after taking the ball, and slowly advanced.
"Pick-and-roll!"
teammates came up to block the demolition, Li Changgeng moved to the side, made a breakthrough, and then quickly retreated.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, the ball didn't go in, and the basketball popped out of the frame.
Just when everyone felt sorry, Song Liu Ming flew up, raised his arm high, clicked on the basketball, and clicked the ball again.
"Good shot!" Coach Geng Xiangzhi yelled loudly.
There are still three points left, the two sides cross each other, the game is very close, and no one will let anyone have a good time. Therefore, Li Changgeng played very hard, and his teammates played very hard, and the game came to the last 20 seconds.
The ball is in the hands of the opponent, the difference has not changed, it is still a 3-point difference, and the two teams are nervous.
The two sides were eyeing each other, and they almost swallowed the opponent into their stomachs, Li Changgeng looked at the basketball in front of him seriously, and suddenly a long-lost voice sounded in his heart.
"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully broken through to A-, the big jump rewards the top equipment, and the strongest improvement in all skill indexes."
A red light shot out from an unknown place, passing through Li Changgeng's body, Li Changgeng's body seemed to be bathed and became a little transparent, at this time, time also began to stand still, no one knew what happened to Li Changgeng at this moment, only Li Changgeng knew that this was the system transforming his body, and the transformation of the system was bound to make Li Changgeng stronger, so Li Changgeng was quietly waiting for the transformation of the system.
Finally, the transformation of the system was finally completed, Li Changgeng regained control of his body, and time returned to the arena.
Li Changgeng, who got the strength, was happy in his heart, watching the basketball, and he was more determined to win.
At this time, Chris moved, only to see him swaying left and right, seemingly a breakthrough.
"The beauty of thought!"
Li Changgeng saw through his conspiracy at a glance, only to see him rush up, blocking Chris with one hand, pulling out the basketball with the other, breaking the basketball, and then he rushed to the opposite side and pressed Chris.
Chris had to follow and not let him make a move, as long as Li Changgeng couldn't make a move, then the game would be theirs, so he wasn't nervous at all, just watching Li Changgeng's movements.
There are still 10s left in the time, Li Changgeng has a smile on his lips, A-, which means that no one in the opponent can stop him from shooting, but what he has to do now is to win the game, not the championship, so this ball is bound to be 3+1,
Thinking so in my heart, I did it in my hand, only to see Li Changgeng raise one hand and deceive Chris, Chris went backwards, he immediately jumped, Chris pounced, Li Changgeng pounced on Chris's body, and then shot, time ran out, and the ball went in.
The referee sounded the horn, the goal was counted, and one penalty was added.
Chris looked at Li Changgeng with annoyance, underestimating in his heart that he would not score, but unfortunately Li Changgeng did not do as he was wronged, and the 99% free throw shooting rate was reflected at this time, and Li Changgeng steadily let the basketball fall to the basket.
"Win!"
"Yay......"
With the final whistle, the fans of the youth team were all crazy and began to cheer loudly, and tens of thousands of fans roared and screamed in unison, the sound was loud and deafening.
On the sidelines, the substitutes of the youth team also went crazy.
