Chapter 185: Advance to the finals
"Calm down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "Your skills are the best in the team, and your individual abilities are the best in the team, but that's not what I appreciate the most." What I appreciate most is your calmness, being able to stay calm at all times, analyze the situation rationally, and play with your brain. So, you became the team's organizational defender and became the offensive commander of our Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex. You have to remember, to be calm, you know? ”
"Hmm." The opposing point guard nodded heavily and reassured, "Coach, don't worry, I won't be impulsive anymore." ”
Looking at the opponent's point guard, he smiled with relief, he was proud to have such a disciple, and he was happy for the sensible of the opponent's point guard.
It's a pity that he forgot one thing, calm is a must, but basketball is also a hot sport, and sometimes, being too calm is not necessarily a good thing.
On Hongcheng's side, Tao Ran didn't make too many arrangements, they mainly relied on Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, just the two of them, it was impossible to have too many changes, and naturally there were not too many tactics to arrange. Tao Ran's idea is to leave everything to the players!
......
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex attacked, the opponent's point guard had calmed down, and he didn't look at Li Changgeng, but just followed the tactics arranged by the coach and the consistent playing style of Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Several people ran quickly, blocking and dismantling, covering, the left wing mentioned the upper line cover, the opposing point guard broke through, threw the ball up, the left wing cut in the air, and made up the dunk.
86:84。
I have to say that when the opponent's point guard calmed down, Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex's offense was extraordinarily reasonable, and even the defense was a lot more rigorous.
But Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji have already killed the red eye, immersed in the state of attack, the spirit and spirit are one, as if the gods are possessed, they can't stop it at all, even if it's a bag, it's useless, the two of them can fight their way out of the encirclement, so you can only cry out in vain, powerless.
One is rigorous, orderly, and holistic; One is violent, simple, and completely unreasonable.
This is a collision between two completely different styles of play, bursting out of bright sparks, and also bringing the audience a great enjoyment.
Sima Shenji took the ball, accelerated the breakthrough, and jumped up against the center after hitting the inside line, the whole person shrank into a ball, dodged the opponent's defense, and scored a layup with a low hand.
Li Changgeng faced the bag, broke through to the left, then dribbled behind his back, stepped back, opened a little distance from the opponent, stepped on the three-point line, and shot when he pulled up.
Take the ball, dumble, Sima Shenji pulled it out directly, and leaned back to shoot.
Got the ball outside the three-point line again, Li Changgeng shot the basketball, deceived the opponent and jumped up, and then accelerated into it, stepped on the free throw line and jumped up, like a divine soldier falling from the sky, bending his legs, stretching his body, and a fierce one-handed violent dunk!
In more than three minutes, Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji swept all the attacks of Hongcheng, and with their super personal ability, they scored a few in a row.
At the same time, Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex also relied on the tandem of the opponent's point guard, and the close cooperation between teammates scored several goals in a row, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately.
With 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the score was tied again at 95-95.
Hongcheng's ball possession, Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex took the full-court pressing, Amu couldn't catch the ball, Li Changgeng ran out quickly, received the serve, and advanced with the ball himself.
After half time, the opponent's point guard quickly came up, his eyes were sharp, he stared at Li Changgeng coldly, and secretly swore in his heart: "This ball must be defended no matter what!" ”
"This goal, no matter what, it's going to be scored." Li Changgeng thought so in his heart, the two were like needles, competing against each other.
The ball was jumping, Li Changgeng's pupils contracted, his feet stared, and he suddenly accelerated and rushed to the right.
"Don't think about it." The opposing point guard quickly moves to the left and gets stuck in position.
Li Changgeng knew that it was impossible to shake off the opponent so easily, so he quickly pulled the ball back, took a step back, and was about to jump up.
The opponent's point guard yelled in his heart that it was not good, he didn't have time to think too much, and even raised his center of gravity, but before he jumped up, he found that Li Changgeng was just a feint, Li Changgeng didn't want to jump at all, nor did he shoot, he just wanted to trick the opponent's point guard to improve his center of gravity.
At this time, Li Changgeng suddenly lowered his head and accelerated, and the opponent's point guard's center of gravity was raised too high, and he didn't have time to retreat, so he could only watch Li Changgeng rush past him.
"Left wing, stop him!" The opposing point guard yells.
"Drink." The left wing roared and stepped forward, like a human wall.
At this time, Li Changgeng suddenly put the ball away, made a very sudden jump, and jumped in front of the left wing.
Jumping over the left wing, Li Changgeng was only left with the hoop in front of him, he landed with both feet, bent his knees, held the ball with both hands, and shouted violently, as if his feet were loaded with springs, and he jumped up, and the whole person flew into the air, his feet were more than a meter off the ground, and his head was almost flush with the hoop.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, Li Changgeng flew up, he stared at the basket, and his heart suddenly flashed in the cold expression of Yu Xiaowei in the ninth middle school, the distant voice, a stinging pain spread from his heart to the whole body, so that he couldn't help but open his mouth and roar, and smashed the ball to the basket with all his strength, as if only in this way could he vent the depression in his heart and relieve the pain from the bottom of his heart to the limbs.
"Bang Bang ......"
In the horrified eyes of the audience, Li Changgeng smashed the ball into the basket, and a huge sound came out, resounding throughout the stadium.
Li Changgeng hung his hands on the hoop, opened his mouth and roared, like an angry King Kong, and the huge force made the basket seriously deformed, and let out an overwhelmed moan.
It's too violent, it's too domineering!
It took several seconds for the audience to come to their senses and erupt in loud cheers.
Some people even burst into tears with excitement, unable to help themselves, because this dunk is really amazing, there is no momentum after jumping, almost jumping on the spot, but Li Changgeng can still jump so high, stretch his body in the air, and then fight to dunk.
That kind of power, that kind of domineering, makes it difficult to calm down for a long time.
"This ball ......" Luo Jinnan opened his mouth, trying to organize the language and find a closer adjective, but in the end he still couldn't find it, so he said helplessly: "This ball is so 'awesome', I've never seen such a dunk, it's unbelievable." ”
Meng Yao's eyes were also shining, but he was much calmer, just looking at Li Changgeng, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and he was very pleased.
At this moment, not only the on-site football 'fans' were shocked and 'excited', but countless football 'fans' who were watching the game in front of the TV were also instantly exploded.
This ball is so 'awesome' and so beautiful.
Moreover, this ball also overtook the score for Hong Cheng, rewriting the score to 97:95, Hong Cheng led by 2 points, and there were 11 seconds left before the end of the fourth quarter.
In other words, Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex has one more chance to attack, and if it can't be scored, then Hongcheng will win.
So this ball is of great significance, and it re-allows Hong Cheng to take the initiative at this last moment, as long as the ball of Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex is guarded at the bottom line, it will win. As long as the opponent doesn't let the opponent score three points, the game will go into overtime at most.
Called a pause, looked up at the scoreboard, and shook his head helplessly, the game was played at this time, and it was still occupied by Hongcheng, which was really unpleasant!
However, he calmed down quickly and said to his players: "There are 11 seconds left, we still have one more chance to attack, so don't worry, play steadily." My requirement is to fight for three and two, and strive to shoot a three-point to kill the opponent, and if the opportunity is not good, then I must also keep a two-point, so as to drag the game into overtime, and then share the victory and defeat with Hongcheng in overtime. ”
"Later, whether you will shoot yourself or give it to your teammates, you can see what you do." "Do you all understand?" ”
"Understood."
"Got it."
Several people nodded, and their expressions were also very serious.
Now that we're on the edge of the cliff, it's going to be a lore or extra time to score this goal, and if you can't score it, it's over.
Hongcheng's side.
Tao Ran also looked solemn, and said to Li Changgeng: "Wait a while, this ball must be guarded down, and we will win if it is prevented." Li Changgeng, wait a minute, you and Amu will change, you go to defend the opponent's point guard, Amu will defend the point guard, and the other people's positions will remain the same. ”
"Remember, stretch the defense a little bit and don't give the opponent a chance to shoot a three. Xiao Meng, you have to pay special attention on the inside, protect the rebound, if the opponent still has time after shooting, you must not give the opponent a second chance to attack, everyone understands, right? ”
"Understood." Several people nodded.
"Okay, guard against this one." Tao Ran didn't say much, just patted a few people on the shoulder, as if he wanted to transfer his strength to a few people.
On the side, Zhang Long, Qu Yong, Liu Jie and others also stepped forward one after another to cheer up Li Changgeng and the others.
"Toot ......"
The whistle blows, and the timeout ends.
There were still 11 seconds left, Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex attacked, and several people in Hongcheng looked solemn, settled in a good position, and the defense line expanded greatly.
The opponent's point guard controlled the ball, and the figure flashed in front of him, he couldn't help but be taken aback, but he was quickly relieved, at this time, if Amu came to defend himself, then Hongcheng would be dead, so it was not strange to change to Li Changgeng to defend himself.
"Do I give this ball to myself, or to my teammates?" The opposing point guard had a thought in his mind, and finally decided to see the situation, anyway, there are still 10 seconds, which is enough.
Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex several people ran quickly, covered, the opponent's point guard controlled the ball with one hand, glanced at the timer, saw that there were 6 seconds left in the time, he gestured to his teammates, the big forward Hu Tianba understood, quickly raised it to block the demolition, the opponent's point guard took the opportunity to accelerate, kill the inside.
Hongcheng's defense expanded a lot, and he didn't give Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex any chance to shoot three points, and it was really risky to shoot reluctantly, so the opponent's point guard decided to be safe and scored two points.
Lu Feng, who was originally defending Hu Tianba, quickly stepped forward and blocked the route of the opponent's point guard, and Li Changgeng also quickly bypassed, caught up with the opponent's point guard, and fell closely behind him.
Hu Tianba did not cut to the inside line after blocking and dismantling, but pulled to the outside line and stood one step inside the three-point line.
At this time, the opponent's point guard can choose to play alone, although there is Lu Feng in front and Li Changgeng in the back, but he also has many ways to shoot.
However, he hesitated, because compared with himself, he obviously pulled to the outside, and now Hu Tian, who is undefended, has a better chance, should he come by himself or give it to Hu Tian?
Seeing that there were 2 seconds left in the time, the opponent's point guard finally decided and chose to pass, he remembered the coach's advice, he must be calm, and calmly, obviously Hu Tianba's position is much better than him, vacant, unguarded, and near the free throw line, that is where Hu Tianba is good at, but Hu Tianba is not good at three points, and he does not dare to risk shooting three points, otherwise he may still be killed.
Hu Tianba received the ball, glanced at the time, there was only one second left, he had no other choice but to shoot immediately.
At this moment, everyone stared at the orange 'colored' basketball, watching it cross an arc, and finally slammed into the basket. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ball bounced vertically and fell, but it still smashed on the basket, and then it rolled out and didn't go in.
"Hoo ......"
Countless people were relieved, and their hearts were about to 'pump'.
I was so nervous just now, I wanted to cheer when I saw the ball hit the basket, but I was scared again, but fortunately, the ball didn't go in in the end.
"Oh......"
The cheers were thunderous, and thousands of spectators all stood up and cheered for Hongcheng.
Hu Tianba's eyes were dull, he was stunned in place, he didn't even throw, he missed such a crucial ball, it's really damn it!
"Hu Tian, don't be like this, it's not your fault." The opponent's point guard patted Hu Tian and comforted.
"yes." Hu Tianba sighed and said in annoyance, "Munby, you should throw that ball, if you throw it, you will definitely be able to score." ”
Hearing this, the opponent's point guard was shocked, and suddenly regretted a little, yes, he is the core of the team, and the last offense should come by himself, in that case, only he is the most sure, but why did he choose to pass the ball instead of shooting?
At this moment, the opposing point guard suddenly found that he was really wrong, and it is true that the game needs to be calm, but basketball also needs blood and momentum, especially when the last shot, even if the opportunity is not good, the ball should be thrown by himself.
It's over!
In the end, Hong Cheng defeated Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex 97-95 and successfully advanced, and the next thing they will face is the national finals.
On the court, the people of Heilongjiang Tyrannosaurus Rex had left, only the people of Hongcheng remained, and everyone ran to the field and cheered unwillingly.
"Haha, we won, we won!"
"We're in the finals, we've made it."
Hongcheng and the other players were very excited, and everyone surrounded Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, lifted the two up, threw them into the air, caught them, and then threw them up again.
In today's game, Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji are out-and-out heroes, Li Changgeng scored 36 points, plus 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Sima Shenji scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist, although they didn't really cut 40+ each, but they both got 30+. For a team, one person gets 30+ is nothing, but two people get 30+ at the same time, the meaning is completely different.
It was precisely because of the performance of the two that Hongcheng successfully defeated the Tyrannosaurus Rex and won the national challenge.
The stadium was in jubilation, and in front of the TV, there were more people cheering, shouting, and excited about Hongcheng's victory.
Hongcheng, Square.
As before, the loud and excited cheers rang out, shaking the entire square and even spreading throughout the school.
In each classroom, the students who had become accustomed to it suddenly understood, and they began to cheer spontaneously without anyone explaining.
Because they know that Hong Cheng has won!
Hongcheng.
Seeing that the last goal of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on TV did not score, countless viewers jumped for joy, Selena couldn't help but jump, very simple, just happy for Hongcheng, just like everyone else on the big screen in the square, there was a kind of joy from the bottom of her heart.
A few seconds later, Selena calmed down, on the TV screen, the camera fell on Li Changgeng, the handsome and upright figure wearing Hongcheng No. 24 jersey instantly met Selena's eyes, she was a little blocked in her heart, looked away, and sighed silently.
......
Guangxi, Provincial Sports Center.
The people in Hongcheng had already taken a shower and changed their clothes, got on the bus, and rushed back to Hongcheng.
It's not going to other provinces, so there's no need to wait until tomorrow, after all, they're still students, so they need to rush back overnight.
……..
Hongcheng, on the basketball court.
An intra-team practice match is underway, and Tao Ran has made some adjustments to the lineup of the intra-team practice match, anyway, the current lineup is completely dependent on Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, and the others have been further weakened, so he simply separated Nongguang, Ah Long, Sima Shenji and Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji. Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji are in Group A, while Nongguang, Ah Long, and Sima Shenji are in Group B with Luo Tian and Ah Mu.
In this way, the strength is relatively more balanced.
Originally, Ah Long thought the same way, so he worked hard and planned not to lose to Group A this time no matter what, and he had to win once.
Unfortunately, when the game started, the result was completely one-sided, and after less than five minutes of the first quarter, Group A was ahead of Group B-by as many as 12 points, which made Group B very humiliating.
"Nongguang, you should give the ball." Luo Tian shouted at Amu.
I saw Amu facing Li Changgeng's defense on the outside, wanting to break through but unable to break through, wanting to shoot but not daring to shoot, hesitating.
In Group B, the center is Nongguang, the power forward is Aaron, the small forward is Luo Tian, the scoring guard is Amu, and the point guard is Sima Shenji. The center of Group A is Lu Feng, the big forward is Nongguang, the small forward is Sima Shenji, the scoring guard is Li Changgeng, and the point guard is Long Xiaotian.
At this time, Amu had no way to face Li Changgeng's defense, and when he heard Luo Tian's voice, he suddenly didn't think much about it, and shook his hand.
"Be careful." Ah Long even reminded, but it was still too late.
I saw Li Changgeng start quickly, wave his hand, steal the ball with a snap, and then start quickly, like a sports car, quickly hit the front court, stepped into the free throw line and jumped up, a flying body split with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket.
Hongcheng's basketball hoop can not be compared with the provincial sports center, the quality is much worse, by Li Changgeng's powerful buckle, the entire basketball hoop shook, as if it was about to fall apart, scared all the players smacked their tongues, frightened.
"I'm fork, as for such a big effort?"
"This guy, shouldn't he really want to smash the rebound?"
The players looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
On the sidelines, Tao Ran couldn't help frowning, looking at Li Changgeng who fell to the ground with an expressionless face, and said to Meng Yao beside him: "Li Changgeng has been a little wrong in the past two days, Xiaomeng, do you know what is going on with him?" It's like I'm stimulated by something. ”
"I don't know." Meng Yao spread her hands, "I asked him, but he didn't say." ”
In fact, from the last time he faced Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tao Ran found that Li Changgeng's state was a little wrong, but he didn't care too much. But it's been two days, and Li Changgeng is still like this, always looking expressionless, and his performance in training is very different from before.
For example, the ball just now, this is training, he just breaks the basket quickly, there is no need to dunk at all, and there is no need to dunk so hard. In the past, Li Changgeng would not be like this at all, but in the past two days, he would dunk every chance he had, and he was very violent.
"Where is he playing, this is simply venting." Tao Ran shook his head, told everyone to stop, and called Li Changgeng aside, he wanted to talk to Li Changgeng well, the finals will be in a few days, and Li Changgeng's state is worrying!
Half an hour later, Tao Ran and Li Changgeng's conversation ended.
The result was not good, Tao Ran asked Li Changgeng without saying anything, so that Tao Ran couldn't find a suitable entry point if he wanted to enlighten, and Li Changgeng nodded and obediently agreed. But who Tao Ran is, it is naturally not difficult to see that Li Changgeng is just perfunctory, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.
This made Tao Ran very helpless, and he could only hope that Li Changgeng's heart knot would not affect the game, after all, the finals were coming.
At the same time, in Beijing, at the Boao Basketball Stadium, a game is underway, and the audience is full of people, at least tens of thousands.
This is another match in the National Challenge, with Beijing Green Light, the champion of the North Division, taking on the Extinction Team, the runner-up of the Southern Division.
At this time, the game had reached the end of the fourth quarter, and there were more than two minutes left before the end of the game, which was the most intense time. Looking up at the scoreboard, the number on it was 96:85, and the God Destroyer team was as many as 11 points behind Beijing Green Light.
On the field, the God Destroyer team attacked, Liu Qinhui advanced with the ball, quickly crossed the middle line, took advantage of the opportunity for his teammates to come up to block and dismantle, accelerated and threw off the defender, and made a quick stop jump shot, scoring a goal for the God Destroyer team, and narrowing the difference between the two sides to 9 points.
Throwing this goal, Liu Qinhui was very excited, shook his fist fiercely, and shouted at his teammates: "Brothers, there are still 9 points left, work hard, and you must not give up." ”
"Okay." Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Tianyi, Jiang Jie, and Liu Qinhao agreed in unison, quickly retreated, and waited for the other party to arrive.
