Chapter 16: North Carolina (4)

With the loss of two of their top teammates, the remaining three NC players have no chance of resisting the LA attack, especially since NC is one behind in numbers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's time to pass the ball, Li Changgeng, who is in control of the ball, suddenly turns his body, the basketball disappears in an instant, and in the cheers of everyone, Mozart shook off his opponent and smashed the basketball into the basket violently! It's much easier to pass the ball than to break through.

Score! 55:65。

Surrounded by two people, you can still make a wonderful pass?! The North Carolina team members looked at each other in disbelief.

That's it, it is said that the regional triangle attack is a double-edged sword. If the pincer attack does not have the desired effect on someone at all, then the remaining three team members are simply helpless when facing the attack of the other four team members! North Carolina, didn't you think of that?

Since then, the momentum of the stadium has completely fallen to the Los Angeles team, and under the leadership of Li Changgeng, North Carolina's defense has been torn apart again and again. Mozart, Paul, Harris played well, and even Leonard, who never had a chance to score, scored for the first time on a layup. North Carolina, on the other hand, concentrates the ball on the outside three-pointers, and no matter how good a three-point shooter is, it is impossible to hit every shot, and after gradually losing its absolute advantage in the competition for inside rebounds, North Carolina's score is getting worse and worse.

Finally, the coach of North Carolina called a timeout again, and in the seventh minute of the second half, the score was 70-71, and the lead of North Carolina was almost gone.

"If NC had no other strategy, the game would have been lost!" The Raptors in the seat here said categorically, turned his head and asked, "If it's the Raptors, how should they deal with this situation?" ”

"Raptors? There is no doubt that Li Chang Geng will send two players to flank Li Chang Geng. At this stage, if Li Changgeng is not suppressed, with his three-point shot alone, it is almost certain that this game has been lost. It doesn't matter if he is allowed to break through, after many breakthroughs, his physical strength will be greatly consumed in a short period of time. The rest of the Los Angeles team is completely defensible for the Los Angeles Raptors - even if Li Changgeng can still make exquisite good passes! As you probably realize, the small forwards in Los Angeles don't seem to be able to pass at all, and their point guards don't have any lethality at all other than passing the ball. Both players on the interior are too rough in their skills - they have combined for six fouls so far. They were able to have such an outstanding performance because Li Changgeng's performance covered up these weaknesses of theirs, but if they meet the Los Angeles Raptors, these are their fatal wounds. Los Angeles is still a one-man team of Li Changgeng. ”

"These are the current tough injuries in Los Angeles, even so, Li Changgeng is still looking forward to playing Los Angeles and you." "Only you can test Li Changgeng's true strength for Li Changgeng."

"Li Changgeng's real strength?" Heroin asked in surprise, "Could it be that Li Changgeng hasn't fully played today?" ”

"Of course, North Carolina didn't force Li Changgeng to have full strength at all, except for that breakthrough, he played too easily!" Pierce scoffed, "North Carolina is still too tender!" ”

During the conversation, the timeout was over and the two teams were on the pitch again. After the North Carolina team kicked off, the Los Angeles team habitually put on a man-marking stance. The inside line is still dominated by Mozart and Lee Cheong Gung.

After two consecutive failed to hit, the outside Nobel chose to pass the ball this time, and the ball passed to Zhao Tong on the inside after repeated tinkering, and Bale, who was wandering outside the penalty area, suddenly shook off Harris and squeezed into the penalty area - there are three players over 190 cm in North Carolina's inner line!

In the battle for the inner line, Li Changgeng was firmly blocked by Messi and Bale. Zhao Tong jumped up and was about to shoot the basket! Mozart jumped along.

"Don't foul!" With a flash of inspiration in his heart, Li Changgeng shouted at Mozart.

"Flute!" The referee's whistle has sounded.

It's already a foul!

Mozart raised his hand blankly, "Li Changgeng didn't do anything!" ”

Li Changgeng hurriedly gestured to Zhou Yi on the bench, and Zhou Yi quickly took the opportunity to call a timeout.

Damn, it's still a set for North Carolina. Abominable North Carolina old man.

Mozart lowered his head and peeked at Li Changgeng from time to time. Li Changgeng leaned back in his chair and said nothing, thinking about the uneasiness that suddenly appeared just now: at that moment just now, Zhao Tong was obviously inducing Mozart to foul. What are North Carolina going to do with Mozart, who fouled four times? Dismantling Los Angeles' interior defense? Even if Mozart is gone, Los Angeles can still transfer Paul to enrich the inside line of Los Angeles, and the inside line composed of Li Changgeng and Paul may not necessarily give North Carolina a cheap advantage! However, why does Li Changgeng always have a feeling of uneasiness in his heart?

"Paul, how many times did you foul?"

"Three times." Paul replied.

"Has it been three times? The rest of the time I tried to avoid fouls. Vujacic is off, now you and Li Changgeng are defending the inside, and your opponent is still Messi. Captain, you're almost rested, aren't you? ”

"No problem!"

"Get ready to play." Li Changgeng took the record book handed over by the assistant coach and looked down, "Harris fouled once, O'Neal also fouled twice, you have to pay attention!" ”

"Got it!"

Li Changgeng nodded: "Get ready to play!" Although there is always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, Li Changgeng, as a coach, naturally can't show it at this time. It's on the field, and the game will be over soon.

What's the problem?

There was no time to think about it, taking Leonard's pass, Li Changgeng calmly faced the two opponents. Hey, this time it's a different opponent, this time against Nobel and Ibrahimovic, the two who just pinched Leonard. What about Bell and Zhao Tong? Zhao Tong was stuck in the penalty area, and Bell was also free from the outside of the penalty area, opposite Zhou Yi.

What exactly is the idea of North Carolina? Los Angeles has an outside shooter on the outside, but they're putting a lot of troops on the inside? Haven't they seen the three-pointers in Los Angeles yet? What's the conspiracy here?

couldn't care so much, Li Changgeng instructed Zhou Yi to go to the bottom line, and after two consecutive fakes, he passed the ball to Zhou Yi, was there no one to defend? Bell is rushing out!

Damn, what does that mean? After receiving the ball, Zhou Yi jumped up quickly, ready to shoot a three-point shot, Bell quickly jumped up to block, to Li Changgeng's surprise, Bell jumped so high that he almost blocked Zhou Yi's shooting basket, but almost, the ball still shot out.

Will it be in the meeting? No, it was too high, and Zhou Yi obviously affected Bell's blocking.

Grab a rebound!

Li Changgeng rushed to the inside, and Zhao Tong and Messi relied on their physical advantages to firmly block Paul outside. Harris doesn't seem to be aware of this yet, and is at a loss outside the penalty area.

Oops, Li Changgeng actually forgot, now there is only Paul in Los Angeles! The coach of North Carolina is really treacherous, once Li Changgeng, who controls the ball on the outside, can't hit the ball that is passed, the North Carolina team, which has an absolute advantage on the inside, will easily grab the rebound.

He must have seen through Leonard's lack of scoring ability on the outside to dare to be so fearless, damn it!

Li Changgeng rushed over desperately, but the ball had not yet fallen. Zhao Tong is really tall, like a wall firmly blocking Li Changgeng outside, opening his hands and completely sealing the arrival of the forbidden area.

The ball smashed on the basket and bounced high, and Li Changgeng still had no way to cut into the inside line.

Do you bend over, move your pace, cut in from the left? Zhao Tong relied on the sense of his body and moved to the left first. Li Changgeng quickly turned against Zhao Tong's body, passed under Zhao Tong's armpit, and was able to block in front of Zhao Tong.

"Damn!" Zhao Tong roared angrily.

The ball fell, and the timing was right, and the four people under the basket jumped up. Li Changgeng's bounce power is undoubted, and Li Changgeng caught the basketball first.

Li Changgeng grabbed it!

"Damn!" Zhao Tong roared angrily and snatched the basketball in Li Changgeng's hand in the air. A brute force hit Li Changgeng's wrist, and Li Changgeng's entire body suddenly lost its balance. Li Changgeng, who was in the air, flew out sideways.

"Bang!" Li Changgeng fell heavily to the ground. It's really a bull, when this thought appeared in Li Changgeng's mind, there was a sharp pain in the fingers of his right hand - Messi, who couldn't help himself, stepped on Li Changgeng's fingers. A heart-piercing pain instantly swept through Li Changgeng's brain nerves, and Li Changgeng couldn't help but "Ah! A cry of pain came out.

When Messi removed his feet, under the huge pain, Li Changgeng held his wrist and curled up on the ground in pain, ten fingers connected to the heart, ten fingers connected to the heart, it really hurt!

Is Li Changgeng's finger broken, is Li Changgeng's finger broken! It hurts, why does it hurt so much, it hurts, Li Changgeng can't move when he curls up on the ground.

The referee's whistle seemed to ring in his ears, and there seemed to be an uproar in the audience. It's just that why is the sound so small?

The huge pain occupied Li Changgeng's entire body, and the cries of pain involuntarily howled out of Li Changgeng's mouth. It really hurts!

"I'll see, show me!" The assistant coach's crisp voice came into Li Changgeng's ears, and his petite hands desperately held Li Changgeng's arm, and pulled Li Changgeng's right hand out of Li Changgeng's arms desperately.

The flesh and blood of the right hand were blurred, the three fingers in the middle were drooping, Li Changgeng desperately wanted to move the three fingers, under the huge pain, they hung there motionlessly, and the huge panic instantly occupied Li Changgeng's entire brain, Li Changgeng shouted in fear: "I can't move, I can't move!" My fingers don't listen! ”

The teaching assistant burst into tears: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Desperately holding Li Changgeng's hand, not letting Li Changgeng wave it desperately trying to make his fingers shake, raised his head, and shouted at Mozart, who was stunned on the side, "What are you doing there, doctor, doctor!" ”

The doctor in the hall quickly came with a stretcher, Mozart and the others helped Li Changgeng onto the stretcher, and the group quickly disappeared at the door of the gymnasium.

The doctor in the infirmary carefully examined Li Changgeng's finger, and his expression was serious, "The finger may be broken, so I have to send it to the hospital as soon as possible." ”

Broken fingers? Broken fingers? How so? Li Changgeng was completely overwhelmed all of a sudden, stunned, and stunned. Stay there, your mind goes blank.

The teaching assistant desperately hugged Li Changgeng's head, and seemed to be saying something in Li Changgeng's ear, but Li Changgeng couldn't hear it at all.

In the gymnasium, the referee returned, and the Los Angeles players also came back one by one, all with sad and angry expressions. Li Changgeng and the beautiful manager were not among them.

The referee gave Zhao Tong a technical foul, and the Los Angeles player who came on the bench missed two free throws.

The game restarted, and although the Los Angeles team, which had lost its pillars, was excited, all of them worked hard, but they had no choice but to lose the game. North Carolina won the game, only to leave the stadium to the onset of boos from the crowd.

"If the finger is really broken, even if it is better in the future, I am afraid it will be able to recover as before!" I don't know who whispered, "Maybe his basketball life is really coming to an end!" ”

――

Floe and the young man's team were also silent in their seats, and finally, I don't know who it was, "It's time for Los Angeles to go back!" ”

Everyone came back to their senses at this moment, and stood up one after another, and Kardashian looked at the Raptor: "The Raptor's side hasn't left yet!" ”

"That foul shouldn't have been deliberate, but the consequences were inexcusable." Kardashian said.

"Go back, I hope that guy won't disappear for another four years before he can stand up this time!"

He's a really great guy! This thought came to everyone's mind.

"It's time to go back!" After smoking the cigarette in his hand, he crushed the cigarette butt on the ground a few times.

"I'll sit down a little longer!"

Run out of the stadium, start the car, and disappear into the streets.

"It's not the worst, your fingers aren't broken, and your joints are damaged." After carefully examining Li Changgeng's hand, the doctor solemnly said to Li Changgeng, "As long as you cultivate patiently, you will recover soon." ”

"At least a month, during which time you have to practice your fingers to make sure they are flexible."

"Don't joke about the kid, with your current situation, let alone basketball, even chopsticks can't be picked up."

"If you're playing football tomorrow, I'll say to you: go boy, it's okay! But if it's a basketball game, you should stay in the dormitory patiently, not only is it not possible for your hands to play basketball, but you also have to be careful to adjust, otherwise you may never be able to be the same as a normal person in your life. If you don't want to become disabled, do as I say. ”

The doctor's words have been echoing in Li Changgeng's ears, he can't play, Li Changgeng can't play, Li Changgeng can't participate in the NCAA that Li Changgeng has been looking forward to for four years. Four years of hard work, but in the end, only seven minutes of appearance.

Is it over, is it over?

Li Changgeng is unwilling, Li Changgeng is really unwilling! Four years of hard training, four years of day and night anticipation, but in the end it was so simply announced that it was over, and so simply told: Your efforts have been in vain!

How can Li Changgeng be willing, the NCAA that Li Changgeng has dreamed of, and the showdown with the Raptors that Li Changgeng has been looking forward to day and night!

Damn, damn it! Damn God! Damn Zhao Tong, hell North Carolina! Why can't Li Changgeng be immune to injury every time he touches North Carolina! Even though Li Changgeng knew that Zhao Tong's foul and Messi's pressure could not be planned in advance, the resentment in Li Changgeng's heart did not weaken in the slightest! Li Changgeng hates this day, Li Changgeng hates this place, and Li Changgeng hates God who has always played with Li Changgeng's fate in the palm of his hand.

Damn it! Why, why!

The assistant coach walked out of the room with the rest of the team, and the tears that had been held back until now finally couldn't flow out. Li Changgeng cried, hating his weakness, but he couldn't control the sadness in his heart! After enduring it for a long time, Li Changgeng finally couldn't help crying. In the crying, the sadness and resentment in my heart, hesitation and helplessness, were completely vented! Holding the pillow, Li Changgeng burst into tears and cried bitterly.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place!

At this moment, Li Changgeng's strong body was completely shattered.

The door was ajar, and outsideβ€”

The crowd standing outside the door was frightened by the cry coming out of the door. The sadness, despair, and helplessness in the cry all make the listener sad and the hearer sad. Everyone never thought that Li Changgeng, who was always smiling and always full of confidence, would have such a moment of weakness and hesitation.

The teaching assistant leaned against the door, tears streaming down his face, biting his lip tightly, trying not to make a sound. The smug Leonard, the cold and sluggish Harris, the swaggering Paul Mozart, and the rest of the team all had sour noses and red eyes.

Mozart reached out to push the door, but the assistant stopped his hand and shook his head vigorously.

At the end of the aisle, Zhao Tong Messi stood there quietly. Witnessing the scene in front of them and listening to the heartbroken screams coming from them, the footsteps of the two could no longer move the slightest.

"Let's go!" Zhao Tong turned and left.

"Why don't you go and say you're sorry?" Messi asked curiously.

"Apologizing doesn't mean anything at all at this time. Don't you understand when you hear that cry? Zhao Tong resolutely left, but he didn't realize that he was secretly covering his nose and fell into the eyes of Flo Ying and the young generals who were about to come over.

Kardashian Yin Lunyu glanced at each other, was silent for a moment, and turned around and walked away in unison.

At this moment, the Raptors coach was smoking cigarette after cigarette in his office. In front of him, he counted his own stats: played seven and a half minutes, scored 15 points, had six assists, rebounded five balls, and made two steals, including three of three three-pointers. In other words, after he came on the court, all of Los Angeles' scores came directly or indirectly from his play. In addition, there were a few wonderful breakthroughs against North Carolina gold partners. He didn't foul himself, but his opponent fouled him four times. And all this happened in just seven minutes!

The data in front of him stunned the Raptors coach himself.

Although he knew that what he saw was a performance by Li Changgeng, he never thought that he would be so smart. In particular, his opponent is a strong team in the country - the North Carolina team, which is known for its defense and has the title of not breaking the golden shield gold medal combination.

Although it was only an NCAA-level game, as one of America's premier coaches, Raptors coaches knew exactly what they were seeing.

Li Changgeng! Super Li Chang Geng!

A super Li Chang Gung that can be compared to Jordan!

Such Li Changgeng has encountered repeated ups and downs in the NCAA league!

How many times can such a Li Changgeng suffer such a blow? How many times can such a treasure withstand such a beating?

It can't go on like this.

The Raptors coach resolutely lifted the phone: "I'm the Raptors coach, check the hotel where the University of Los Angeles is staying in the NCAA League!" Do it now. Now, right now! ”

After venting for a long time, Li Changgeng fell asleep groggy. When he woke up, Li Changgeng's emotions finally calmed down. Remembering his responsibilities as a coach, Li Changgeng got out of bed and pushed the door open. Outside the door, the TA was sitting on the carpet with her head buried in her knees - she was asleep!

"Hey! Wake up, go inside! ”

The teaching assistant was sleepy-eyed and opened his red and swollen eyes: "Are you okay?" ”

Shrugging his shoulders and acting disapprovingly, "What can I do?" Saying that, he pinched the pretty nose of the teaching assistant, "It's not a little girl like you!" The teaching assistant didn't notice it, his face flushed, "Let's have dinner, Li Changgeng asked the restaurant waiter to send it over." ”

"No need, notify Li Changgeng of the team members, Li Changgeng will have a meeting!" As he spoke, Li Changgeng took the assistant teacher's hand and pulled her up from the ground.

……

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the players gathered around Li Changgeng. From time to time, his gaze secretly fell on Li Changgeng's tightly bandaged right hand. Li Changgeng smiled slightly and raised his right hand: "Isn't this funny?" It's a mallet! ”

A smile barely escaped from everyone's faces.

"Alright, don't make a dead face. The tournament is not over yet, and if Los Angeles wins the next two games, it will be possible to qualify for second place, if not first! So the rest of the games Los Angeles can't afford to lose! ”

"But ......," Mozart muttered but did not continue.

"Without you, Los Angeles would have won the rest of the game!" Beethoven observed the words and spoke for Mozart.

"The opponents that Los Angeles faced today were the top four teams last year, and the remaining two opponents were far inferior to North Carolina. Los Angeles, the top four teams in the country, have seen it, will they still be afraid of second-rate teams! Coach Meigello once said to Los Angeles that the Los Angeles team is the Los Angeles team of Los Angeles, and the remaining two games will be left to all of you! Saying that, Li Changgeng smiled slightly, "Besides, who stipulates that Li Changgeng can't play?" ”

"You mean," Paul asked eagerly.

Li Changgeng nodded and smiled mysteriously, "When the time comes, you will know, now what Los Angeles has to do is to win the remaining two games and advance to the next round!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded excitedly.

The fighting spirit in Los Angeles is once again inspired!

The team members hugged each other and walked out of Li Changgeng's room, and Harris was at the end.

"Harris, wait a minute!" Li Changgeng stopped him. Harris stopped and looked at Li Changgeng coldly.

"I'll leave it to you for the rest of the game! Now it's up to you! Holding Harris with his left hand, Li Changgeng said solemnly. Harris's hand clenched tightly, then let go and turned to leave.

"Are you going to play?" The teaching assistant was shocked.

"It's just a blank check!" Li Changgeng replied casually.

"Really?" The teaching assistant looked at Li Changgeng in disbelief.

Shrugging, "Who knows?" ”
