With only 3 seconds left, it's not the hardest, the hardest thing is that Japan doesn't have a timeout.

Mu Shen rushed to the baseline and grabbed the basketball, in the current lineup, he is the most 'useless' one, height determines everything.

184 was so embarrassing that he even wished he was shorter, like Fuji Zhen, he could rely on the advantage of 'small' to drill strongly, but he just couldn't even drill.

In the last 3 seconds, there was no space to control the ball, and Rukawa Kaede rushed forward to respond, but was stuck by Abraham.

Although the zone was opened early in the fourth quarter, when there was a gap in hard power between each other, the consumption of physical and mental power in the zone was also multiplied, and in the face of the close defense of the American team at the Nike summit, he could hold on for three or four minutes at most, and in the face of the sticky defense of the French team, 5 minutes was almost the limit.

Rukawa Kaede's current form is plummeting, so much so that at this time, he doesn't even have the ability to get rid of Abraham, and he can't squeeze out the space to catch the ball.

The situation of Jun Tsuchiya and Zhu Xingda is similar, and the French coach on the sidelines has obviously watched the game video of the Nike Summit, and when he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi inserting into the front court, he frantically shouted on the sidelines to block him, obviously knowing that although this kid's offensive ability is very average, he has a vacant mid-range, which will not give him a chance anyway.

Then all that's left is ......

Mu Shen turned his heart sideways, pulled the ball, and threw it directly in the direction of the front court basket.

The entire stadium was silent at this time, and all the Japanese fans had already raised their hearts to their throats, and even the commentary in charge of the broadcast forgot to speak for a while.

This is looking for Mori Shigekuan, but this ball is thrown high!

Mu Shenyi's hand was too strong, and he threw the ball all over the court, and when he got to the front, he not only slightly crooked the basket a little, but also looked like he was still three meters above the ground, and he was about to go out of bounds.

There's no way, throwing the whole audience this kind of thing, no one dares to say that it is well controlled, and if the strength is a little smaller, it will be thrown to others.

Fortunately, there is a mori shigekuan!

The 206-centimeter man sprang up and grabbed the ball in his hand in mid-air, and the time of the electronic timer began to beat with it.

At this time, Mori Shige's wide distance from the basket was only one and a half steps away, and the moment he landed, his eyes suddenly ignited with flames.

After losing to Xiangbei, he was once troubled by his incompetence, but now, the opportunity is finally in front of him again.

It's not just a goal, it's a redemption!

Without hesitation, Mori jumped forward with a big stride.

Pour it in!

Can be ...... in the next second

The French 208-centimeter center also jumped.

Frankly speaking, his jump height and explosiveness were not as high as Mori Shigekuan, and at this time, he saw that the guy had crossed his head again.

"Don't be a dead man!" The French center roared wildly, both eyes already starting to get bloodshot.

The victory or defeat was in an instant, and he was suppressed by this guy who was 2 centimeters shorter than himself, but at this moment, even if he died, he had to be dragged down!

If you can't cover the hat, you can fight! This guy's free throws are not good!

At this time, two big hands slapped on Mori Chongkuan's arm fiercely, and at the same time grabbed his shoulder, and his body of more than 100 kilograms had been directly hung up.

Mori Chongkuan is indeed fierce enough, and there is a person hanging towards the basket, but after all, the person hanging on him is a big man of more than 100 kilograms, not a small guard like Miyagi Ryota.

Although he had riveted his strength, it was still a fraction of a second, his body had been forcibly pulled down, and the basketball he held high only smashed on the edge of the basket.

Honk!

The referee's whistle blew in time, and the countdown of the electronic timer stopped at the right time, and there was only 1 second left in the clock!

"France's No. 11 hitter fouled 2 free throws!"

"Well done!" The French coach on the sidelines waved his fist.

The whole arena was like ashes.

1 point behind, 2 free throws...... Frankly, if the free throw had been taken on someone else, the fans would have celebrated, but this is Mori Shigekuan.

What was already a terrible free throw was even worse today, with a game-high 16 free throws and only three ...... With an 18% free throw shooting rate, even a schoolboy is better than him.

I saw that Mori Shigekuan finally sacrificed his 'pee throwing basket' on the international stage, and threw the basketball into the basket with both hands.

The strange posture worried the French for a while, and it was not until the first shot that it bounced off the basket that finally relieved the French a little.

At least a tie is guaranteed!

Moreover, it seems that he can't make the second goal!

"Rebound! Watch out for rebounds! "The French coach made a direct substitution, except for Abraham, and pulled all the remaining tall and heavyweight tonnage in the team.

208 cm, 206 cm, 211 cm, 203 cm!

The luxurious long lineup completely crushed the size of the Japanese team, making the audience in the stadium suddenly feel like a group of children......

The French coach has a very clear idea, he doesn't want these guys to go on the court to score, defend or do anything else, there is only one thing, and that is to protect this rebound!

Coach Anzai also made a direct substitution, pulling Akagi Goken and Hanagata Toru up, replacing Mu Shenyi and Zhu Xingda.

But let's be honest...... Even Akagi and Hanagata still look like chickens in front of these big men with an average of 207 centimeters.

Mori Shigekuan held the ball nervously, and before he could start throwing, the Frenchman was already stuck on the line and forced to squeeze into the position.

Akagi and Sakuragi in the circle were stuck behind them by two big hands in just an instant, and they couldn't squeeze out half a step, and Rukawa Kaede and Hanagata, who were outside the three-point line, had been entangled by Abraham and another French power forward, suffocating defense, leaving no chance for Japan, worthy of France's steel gate!

No one had a chance to grab the ball.

Mori Shigekuan's palms were full of sweat.

Coach Anthy on the sidelines was nervous back and forth.

Mori Shigekuan's penalty problem has been known to the whole country as early as the winter selection, and after arriving at the national youth, Coach Anzai has trained him separately for this area, but the effect is very bad.

This guy seems to be born with a 'conflict' with free throws, and he can only achieve a maximum of about 60% shooting rate when he practices, but when he comes to the game, he will slip to between 40% and 50%, and if the opponent finds out about this and constantly lets him make free throws, the nervousness and anxiety will make his free throws further inaccurate, so that he can shoot an exaggerated 18% shooting rate today.

You can't bet on Mori Shigekuan's free throws, so when Coach Anzai changed just now, he had already given an explanation to Akagi, asking him to tell Sakuragi Hanamichi to fight for this rebound, but France is also guarding against this hand, and is obviously very jealous of Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounding ability, between Sakuragi and Akagi, who is taller than Sakuragi, they would rather use a 206 cm power forward to Ka Chimu, but also let the two giants of 211 and 208 cm squeeze a Sakuragi Hanamichi!

Is...... Don't give you a way to live.

Coach Anzai couldn't help but think of the word, but heard someone in the stands suddenly shout: "Sakuragi! ”

A very familiar sound came from a long distance in the relatively quiet arena at this time.

Coach Anxi couldn't help but turn his head to look over there to ease his anxious mood, but saw that it was Lin Dong.

I saw Lin Dong make a gesture of holding his hands round at Sakuragi Hanamichi across the stands, as if he was teaching something......

The French coach saw that today's hottest young star was 'face-to-face', and he was nervous but also puzzled, what was that guy hugging?

Coach Anzai understood in seconds, it was in the Lloyd's training base, Earl explained to Sakuragi the tips for grabbing rebounds against big power, and when Sakuragi couldn't understand it, Lin Dong gave him the trick he came up with.

That's the Tai Chi of the Dragon Kingdom, and overcoming rigidity with softness is actually like that.

Earl was very scientific at the time, but he didn't know that Sakuragi was a scumbag; Lin Dong spoke very mysteriously, but he knew that Sakuragi was still a martial arts lover......

The two big hands that were originally stuck in Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly felt empty, and the red hair that was still desperately squeezing into it just now actually took the initiative to retreat, which surprised them a little.

But at this time, it was too late to think about it.

Swish~

With a slight distraction, Mori's second throw had already been thrown.

The camera lenses and the eyes of the audience were staring nervously at the ball, and the whole of Japan seemed to have a cardiac arrest at this moment.

Come in! Let's go inside!

Can be ...... in the next second

Syllable!

The basketball popped up in the frame, making the hearts of all Japanese fans sink hard at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the two French big men closest to the basket jump up at the same time, and the 211-centimeter substitute center on the left tried his best to grab the basketball in the air.

The hearts of all the Japanese fans fell straight into the endless abyss ice cellar the moment they saw him catch the ball.

The countdown on the electronic scoreboard starts again, just a second, and when he lands, it's almost over!

The French could not help but cheer.

Win!

The 211 cm substitute center is even brighter, although because of the slow movement of his feet, let him sit on the bench for a whole time, but at the last moment, the most critical rebound, grabbed himself is the hero of France!

Finished......

Akagi, Rukawa and others on the court all showed despair in their eyes.

The fans of the whole Japan were like falling into an ice cellar at this moment, and Coach Anzai felt that his eyes were shaking and he almost fainted, and Japan was only one line away from the quarterfinals of the World Championships......

Can be in the next second!

A sudden figure bypassed his teammate who was the French substitute center forward and suddenly rose from behind him!

The 211-centimeter substitute center didn't know it, and he was about to start falling as he grabbed the rebound, but his teammates behind him all opened their mouths wide, and they didn't even have time to remind him out loud.

I saw that the figure that suddenly rose up was as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder, not only silently but also explosive!

Maybe this moment came too suddenly, maybe the figure was too fast, or maybe everyone was too nervous at this moment.

So much so that everyone seemed to be dazzled and couldn't see the true face of the figure.

In the entire stadium, whether it was the players, the coaches, the commentators or the spectators, everyone grew their mouths, and only saw the huge jersey number on the swift afterimage.

Number 10!

He instantly crossed the height of a 211-centimeter center.

Syllable!

Two big hands grabbed the opponent's controlled basketball.

"Give it to me!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi roared, the two eyes could no longer see the eyes and the whites of the eyes, the pure and pure were all burning flames, and the strength of the whole body was concentrated on the arms at this moment, and the green tendons exploded, and the ball was forcibly snatched from the hands of the substitute center.

The center was startled, but his hands were empty.

Sakuragi Hanamichi is unabated, grabbing the basketball while aiming at the basket, grabbing the basket at the moment when the basket's red light is on, smashing the basketball into it!

Honk!

The electronic sound of the end of the game began, but the audience stared at the electronic scoreboard silently and nervously.

The moment was so electric that no one knew whether the ball was effective or ineffective, whether it was poured in before the end or after it ended.

It wasn't until the electronic scoreboard, after a brief reaction, that the brush jumped to the next number.

55:56, Japan wins!

The French were stunned for a moment, and the whole arena suddenly roared in revelry after a moment of silence.

"Sakuragi!" Haruko Akagi, who was next to the stands, covered her mouth in excitement.

Thinking back to the first time I saw this guy in the school hallway at the beginning of last year, everything seemed like it was yesterday.

"Wow, ikebana lore! Ikebana is going to become a big star now! The Sakuragi Legion was so excited that they jumped on the spot.

"Win! We won! ”

Akagi grew his mouth, slowly closed it, leaned back to the sky and closed his eyes, tears kept flowing out.

A year ago, my dream was to dominate the country's universities, but now I ...... It's not over yet! You can go on!

Coach Anxi on the sidelines covered his chest, not daring to open his eyes to see, he kept taking deep breaths, this is also too exciting, remember to bring some medicine next time......

"Hahaha!" Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped up proudly: "With two people, you can prevent me from being a genius?" Brother Superior! Brother Gaoren, have you seen it? I won with the hug kill you taught! ”

As he spoke, he ran over to this side excitedly, and gestured to Lin Dong in the stands with the ball he had just held the ball and dunked.

Lin Dong in the stands laughed dumbly, Lao Tzu taught you to get rid of the entanglement of your opponent with softness, what kind of hugging and killing...... Is this guy deliberately pretending to be me? Afraid that the next opponent will read his code words?

However, the scene of the conversation between the two was clearly captured by the media, and it became the favorite classic picture on the front page of major Japanese newspapers on the field today, and even in the next two or three days......

Japan also reached the top 8 of the World Championships!
