Center Casey and Yang Long were substituted together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Long saw that Williams and Dunleavy were a little out of breath, and the opposing players' desperate defense made them spend a lot of physical energy in the attack.

But they didn't want to go off because they wanted to contribute to the game and because there were scouts on the sidelines.

Yang Long advanced to the front court with the ball and observed the situation on the field.

He remembers what Williams told me to feed more of the players they were going to play in the draft.

So when Williams got stuck in position, Yang Long didn't hesitate to send the ball to him.

Williams was not polite, first turned around with his left foot as the axis and tried to break through the defense of the opponent's division Darnay head-on, changing direction on the left side and changing direction on the right, Darnay was very experienced and did not act rashly.

After several failed breakthroughs, Williams gave up on the breakthrough and turned over to fight with his back.

Hit, hit, hit, hit, half-turn, throw back!

Dane immediately rushed forward to ask for a block! Who's hand is the deer dead?!

Dane couldn't make a successful block, and the ball was shot!

However, due to his height, Williams' pitching vision was obviously interfered with, which means that this ball was a shot that Williams relied on his feelings when he had no vision!

It's not that Williams hasn't scored this kind of goal, he has scored such a goal in his previous heads-up with Yang Long, but today, he didn't get the favor of Lady Luck, and the ball was iron!

After the opponent's small front Odd controlled the rebound, the ball was fast, and Tom quickly advanced and killed the Duke penalty area!

Jumped, and in the middle of it, Tom jumped vertically with the intention of making a layup!

How could Yang Long miss such an opportunity to block and jump hard behind Tom!

However, Tom had a long eye in the back of his head, and Yang Long saved the block this time, only to see him hit the ground with a pass from behind, and the ball came to Newton's hand in front of him.

Newton's shot posture was weird, his arms were straight, and his arms showed no signs of power at all, just using the strength of his wrists to pull the basketball out!

Swish! The ball in the air does a rapid spin and falls into the hoop! Three points!

In the following time, Duke's offense seemed to be blocked, but Indiana's several three-point shots were fruitful, and with 3 minutes and 27 seconds left at the end of the first half, the score was 29:35, and Duke was already behind by 6 points!

Coach K called a timeout, he emphasized defense, defense, but did not say much about the problems when attacking.

In fact, even if Coach K didn't explain it in person, Yang Long knew where the team's offensive problems were.

Now Yang Long is more in creating offensive conditions for Williams, Dunleavy, Boozer and others, they either hold the ball and play alone, or catch the ball. There are not too many problems with this type of attack, the problem is that this kind of offensive mode is too dependent on the form and feel of the three of them. Once the three of them are not in good shape, the team's overall scoring efficiency will naturally drop.

Back on the field again, Lao K replaced Williams, Dunleavy, Boozer and other main players, who had to reserve their strength for the second half of the battle.

As a bench leader, Yang Long's time to play has come.

In Indiana's lineup, the defensive pressure on the outside is extremely huge, and perhaps more shots on the inside would be a good choice.

Holding the ball, Yang Long asked Casey for a block, changed direction to the left, and temporarily got rid of Tom's defense with the help of his height advantage!

There is a big man who comes to help, but how can he help the speed of the defense faster than the defender's breakthrough speed?

Yang Long changed direction on the right side of the right side and accelerated into the restricted area, exerted force with both feet, and jumped to the basket!

In the afterglow of the perspective, a black shadow overwhelmed Yang Long, if Yang Long insisted on making a move, he would definitely be served by a hot pot!

Swap the ball to the left hand with his right hand in the air, and make a pull-up layup to avoid the block!

Two points, score!

This goal sounded the horn of Duke's counterattack, Yang Long sent a three-point assist for Jones, and his mid-range jumper was successful, Duke played a wave of 7-0 small climax, and the score on the court came to 36-35, one point ahead!

With 18 seconds left before halftime, Duke had the ball.

Yang Long held the ball past the halfway line to control the time, ensuring that the attack ran out of time and did not leave Indiana with an attacking opportunity.

With 9 seconds left, Tom's defense pressed up, and he knew that Yang Long was going to attack.

However, it was this time that the forward pressure gave Yang Long a chance!

At the same time as he pounced on Yang Long, Yang Long killed him in the position, and after the two sides crossed, Tom was thrown away by Yang Long!

Yang Long accelerated towards the penalty area, and Jeffries mentioned the free throw line to help defend!

Outside the penalty area, Casey was empty, he cut straight to the basket, and when he saw the momentum, Yang Long threw it high!

"Bang!" The sound of the slam dunk was extremely shocking under the amplification of the loudspeaker, and Yang Long assisted Casey to get a slam dunk in the air!

The scene is boiling!

Duke went into the second half with a three-point lead at 38-35.

In the second half, Yang Long returned to the bench first. After a pause at halftime, Williams and Dunleavy recovered a lot of energy, and they showed a new mental outlook as soon as they arrived on the field.

Williams is still omnipotent, breaking, mid-range shots, three-pointers, assists, and once Williams regains his touch, Duke's offense will be completely spread out from point to point, and Duke's scoring will continue to rise.

Rao is Williams is in bursting form, Indiana's projection ability is still not to be underestimated, three points, two points in the plus, Indiana bites the score. Indiana at this time is like a rattlesnake in the desert, waiting for the moment when Duke relaxes and delivers a fatal blow!

With 8 minutes and 22 seconds left in the game, Coach K called a timeout, and the score was 54-52, with Duke leading by only two points.

"Don't let them make easy threes! Don't hesitate to change your guard when you need to! Make sure everyone has someone to defend! Got it? "It was a noisy environment, and Coach K had to raise his voice to make the players hear.

When the decisive moment came, Indiana made the starters, and Duke, except for Yang Long to replace Du Hong, the other four people also started.

Williams broke through with the ball, encountered a bag, Yang Long got an open space outside the three-point line, Williams stuffed the ball out in the seam, and when he received the ball, Yang Long remembered the promise to create opportunities for his teammates. He found Dunleavy, who was also outside the three-point line, and passed the ball over!

Dunleavy doesn't have so many ideas as Yang Long, and he unceremoniously shoots three-pointers!

Boom! Three-point hit!

The game completely entered the white-hot stage, and Duke desperately tried to open up the difference, but Indiana was like an unbeatable little powerhouse, desperately biting the score.

At 76-74, with 35 seconds left in the game, Duke led by just two points. Indiana called a timeout, and they had the next offense.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to be frozen, and no fans on either side chose to speak out at this moment. Even if Duke is now leading by 2 points, the game is not over yet, and it is difficult to tell whether the winner is lost.

"You have to defend each other's threes, you know?! If the opponent scores two points, we can have a chance to kill, and even if we don't hit the goal, we can have a chance to play overtime, but if we give the opponent three points, we will be completely passive, guys, do you hear me!? ”

Coach K is very experienced, and at this time, if you score a three-pointer for the opponent, then in the final time, Duke must complete an offense, which is too much pressure.

At this time, Coach K still puts Yang Long on the field, he has won the trust of Coach K, and it is conceivable that Yang Long will inevitably get more playing time in the next season.

The opponent chose to let center forward Jeffries serve out of bounds, and thanks to his height advantage, it is basically impossible to serve the ball.

Beep! After the referee's whistle, the two Indiana defenders began to push and run wildly, while the two forwards were responsible for covering. Yang Long chased after Tom and didn't give him a chance to catch the ball. Monta was also under Williams' watchful eye and got out of the game.

Seeing that the 5-second service time was about to run out, the opponent's small front Odd pushed Dunleavy next to him to take the ball at the top of the arc! Dunleavy hurriedly posted it and didn't give Odd a chance to score three points.

The three-point defense made Indiana helpless for a while.

There are only 5 seconds left in the attack time!

Tom got the ball with the help of a big front block, and Yang Long lowered his center of gravity, always on guard against Tom's shot.

With a flick to the left, Tom kicks in and breaks through to the penalty area!

In the penalty area, the opponent Jeffries hurriedly opened up the breakthrough space, and Boozer stepped forward to make up for the defense! Form a front and back attack with me!

There are 3 seconds left in the attack time!

Tom jumped! Yang Long and Boozer jumped at the same time! Tom, there's no way to make a move!

However, Tom twisted his waist in the air and threw himself completely into the air, regardless of it, he split the ball towards the baseline!

Following the route of the ball, Yang Long saw the center Jeffries who was ambushed at the three-point line in the bottom corner, fortunately it was Jeffries, he was the center!

However, the offensive time was approaching, and Jeffries had no choice but to bite the bullet and shoot three-pointers!

Boozer was ready to get the spot, and Yang Long also stuck Tom behind him, and they didn't believe that the opponent's mid-point Jeffries could shoot this three-pointer, but ......

Nyima! This kind of three-point score can also be scored?!

Although Yang Long didn't believe it in his heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping, but this goal really scored......

Coach K called a timeout with a helpless face, leaving Duke with only 13 seconds to attack.

"Give the ball to Jay, and the others will help him cover!"

The sentence is simple and clear, but this is the final arrangement of Coach K.

Jay Williams is the leader of the team, and at this time, the life and death of the team should be on his shoulders.

Williams grimaced, he didn't want to end the season like this, and in fact, no one wanted to lose this game.

This game also has a special meaning for them, there are scouts to watch it live, and losing the game may not be too decided, but it still has a certain impact to a greater or lesser extent.

Jay Williams is surprisingly calm at the moment, like a killer. It's not like he hasn't done anything like this, and last season against Maryland won with eight points in a row in the final minute of the game.

Boozer was given off the court.

Yang Long and Williams ran wildly with the help of Dunleavy and Jones' cover.

False shaking, reverse running, pushing.

Williams was taken care of very badly, because the other party knew that at this time, he must be Duke's first choice.

With this opportunity, Yang Long got rid of the defense and controlled the ball!

Boozer returned to the field and helped Williams to make a cover, and Williams finally came out of the crack!

Yang Long directly handed the ball to Williams, ran outside the three-point line to prepare for the ball, and created a weak-side single opportunity for Williams!

Williams' skillful dribbling shook and the game time passed little by little!

“6!”

“5!”

Beep!

Before Williams was ready to attack, Indiana chose to foul because they hadn't run out of fouls, so Williams didn't get a free throw, but Duke had less than five seconds left to attack! Cunning Indiana!

The tactics repeat themselves, Boozer serves again! Indiana's flanking attack on Williams is even more resolute!

Yang Long used Jones cover at the top of the free throw line to pocket outside the bottom corner three-point line, and Boozer sent the ball to Yang Long's hand!

There is still a two-meter gap between the players closest to Yang Long, and he has plenty of space to shoot!

But two thoughts sprung up in Yang Long's mind in an instant: I had lost a lore before! Today's protagonist is Williams!

Williams has gotten out of the defense with the help of cover! He didn't make a shot after all, and transferred the ball to Williams!

Williams dribbles in a change of direction, hits the free throw line, and makes a pull-up jumper!

Tick ~ The sound of the final game sounded!

"Oh!!" The cheers of the scene rang out!

Yang Long heard the basketball smashing on the basket and made a 'bang!' '

The cheers don't belong to the Duke Blue Devils, they belong to the Indiana Mountain People.
