The basketball was hugged by Wei Xiao.

2 seconds.

Although he snatched Bai Youwei, he also wasted a second.

A full second.

It was decided that Ding Yike's tactics were difficult to achieve.

Zhou Ran rushed to Wei Xiao and took the basketball half-handedly.

According to the original plan, the double block and dismantle, and the final whistle shot, it is likely to be the same as the half-court whistle, and the goal does not count.

1 second.

Wei Xiao, who fell to the ground, still helped Zhou Ran block the position, Zhou Ran took two big strides, and was ready to shoot outside the three-point line.

His movements were very fast, and one second was enough time for him to throw the ball in.

Beep!

However, the moment the timer sounded, Rutzer blew the whistle almost at the same time.

"White Team No. 4, Foul Fighter!"

Rutzer made a decisive decision. There is no controversy about the foul on this ball, and the debatable point is that Zhou Ran raised his hands and made a shooting action after being fouled.

It may have been a shooting foul, but Rutzer was adamant about giving the average hitter a foul.

Bao Zhiqiang didn't even have time to stop the timer, Lu Ce said that the ball should still have a few tenths of a second, but Zhou Ran kept chattering in Lu Ze's ear, and even Lu Bin stood with Zhou Ran for the first time and helped Zhou Ran speak.

Thanks to Yu Gaoshuang's multiple fouls in the second half, Zhou Ran was directly sent to the free throw line, which was equivalent to giving him two points.

However, the game will also end there.

Zhou Ran hit both free throws, the red team was still one point behind, and the white team kicked off at the bottom line.

Even if the red team can complete the foul in less than a second, as long as the white team deliberately misses the free throw, whoever grabs the rebound, the game will be over.

Liao Yufeng fouled this time, and that was deliberate.

Zhou Ran is very fast, and Liao Yufeng is not slow.

Liao Yufeng was ready to start early in the morning, and when Zhou Ran was about to lift the basketball, he arrived in time and didn't give Zhou Ran a chance to shoot.

"If you use this method to win me, it won't be considered a win."

Zhou Ran's protest was ineffective, so he had to go to the free throw line. He complained to Liao Yufeng very unconvinced, and Liao Yufeng won opportunistically in this way, which was inevitably a loss of general's demeanor.

"Soldiers don't get tired of deceit."

Liao Yufeng just smiled back.

He doesn't think it's immoral, it's what the rules allow, it's just a reasonable use of the rules.

Just when everyone felt that the game was over, Zhou Ran did not give up.

Only he is still imagining a possibility.

He stood at the free throw line and hit the first shot first.

Then on the second ball, he took aim for a lot longer than he used to.

He's not aiming for the heart of the basket, it's the edge of the basket.

Clang.

The basketball managed to hit the front of the basket as he wished.

He burst forward, and only he knew that the ball would not be free-thrown, but would hit the front of the basket and bounce back, so he was the first to rush in front of the basket.

He just deliberately missed the free throw and then scored the rebound.

Everyone else was shocked, and they didn't expect Zhou Ran to do this.

Liao Yufeng completely relied on his extraordinary reflexes and reached out to interfere at the moment when Zhou Ran touched the basketball.

But Zhou Ran just flicked the ball, he could only pluck it lightly, the basketball was even higher than he expected, and he was able to touch the ball, which was already very reluctant.

Everyone on the white team broke out in a cold sweat.

The timer goes off again.

This time it's really over.

The basketball was rerouted by Zhou Ran, flew to the basket, and stayed for a moment.

Unfortunately, the basketball didn't end up rolling into the hoop.

77：75。

The white team, which was mainly defensive and counterattacked, finally won the game.

Liao Yufeng scored 30 points to announce his real return before the quarterfinals.

Zhou Ran scored more 40 points, but he obviously didn't care how many points he scored. After losing the game, he didn't say anything and left the stadium directly.

Although it did not exceed Xiaoyu's 19 points and Bai Youwei's 23 points, Wei Xiao, who scored 18 points, was satisfied.

His own team lost, and he only regretted it slightly.

He did everything he could to win, and that was enough.

For him, he doesn't have the ability to dominate the game, so the game is not his primary concern.

Of course, the main reason is that this is an intra-team competition, just like the pre-test test in high school before, and it is okay to fail the test.

When it comes to the official exam, when it comes to the national competition, Wei Xiao of course cares about the team winning or losing.

It's just that he may not care more about the core players like Zhou Ran and Liao Yufeng, who decide the outcome of the game.

On Wednesday, Ding Yike directly released the matchup of the quarterfinals in South China in the group chat of the school team.

The pressure of the quarter-finals may not be as great as the pressure of the top 80, and for some teams to reach the quarter-finals first, they have already achieved their goals.

In South China, Guangfeng University and Southeast University of Technology must occupy two finals seats, so it is normal to compete for the remaining one seat, and it is normal to compete for the best of nature, and it is normal not to compete.

Secondly, even if the first round of the quarterfinals is unfortunate to meet the two traditional strong teams of Southeast Institute of Technology and Guangfeng University, it doesn't matter if you lose.

The team that loses in the first round will enter the lower bracket and have a chance to play the repechage.

The four losing teams enter the lower bracket, and then there is another round of elimination, and if they lose one more game, then they will really go home.

The four teams in the upper bracket, after one more round of single elimination, the team with two consecutive wins will be the first to get a place in the top four.

Last year's Etoile University lost to Southeast Institute of Technology in the upper bracket and was forced to play against the team that won in the lower bracket.

The two teams that win in the lower bracket and the two teams that lose in the upper bracket play another round of single-game eliminations to determine the final two teams in the top four.

The semi-finals are as simple as a single elimination, and you only need to win one game to qualify for the finals.

To say that the pressure is greater than the top 80 is absolutely true.

The teams that make it to the quarterfinals have a certain amount of quality, and it will not be easy to win.

In particular, the team is in the same half district as the Southeast Institute of Technology.

It is said that Southeast Institute of Technology and Guangfeng University had a friendly match in the top 80 matches, and Southeast University of Technology defeated Guangfeng by 40 points.

I don't know if the strength of Southeast Institute of Technology is really too strong, or if this year's Guangfeng has become weaker than last year.

Anyway, Ding Yike is also very glad that he is not in the same district as Southeast Institute of Technology.

This is because the teams from Zone A and Zone B will have to play a repechage match between the upper bracket and the lower bracket to play each other.

As long as you enter the winner's group first, you can directly qualify for the finals without playing against Southeast Institute of Technology.

Assuming that Southeast Institute of Technology does not lose and wins all the way to the South China finals in Zone A, and in Zone B, Centron University can beat Guangfeng University.

Xingchen University's results in reaching the semifinals last year were still useful, and this year's eight-final draw was still listed as a first-class team.

The first team will not meet in the first round and will face each other against the second team.

But Xiaoyu, these veteran players, want to hit the Lingnan Sports Institute, but unfortunately, the Lingnan Sports Institute, as a first-class team, is located in Area A.
