I really play basketball

Chapter 41 The game is over

On the sidelines, Coach K shouted: "Speed ​​up, speed up, follow them to speed up!"

As the head coach of the dream team in the future, Coach K must have something, he saw through Lin Xing's thoughts at a glance.

After planning the first and second half of the game, Lin Xing's stamina gauge has grown a lot compared to others.

At this time, Lin Xing obviously wants to use this large portion of his physical fitness bar to use his energy to end the game.

Of course, Coach K disagreed. The first coping strategy he could think of was to follow Lin Xing to speed up.

But then, he realized that it would be impossible to follow the speed up. On the offensive end, they still had to play Cherokee Parkes.

As soon as the speed was increased, Pax was also crippled.

Thinking of this, Coach K felt a toothache, and he could only yell again: "Attack to suppress the rhythm!"

With this shout, Bobby Hurley, who had just returned to the court not long ago, was confused.

But whether he is confused or not really doesn't matter. Anyway, in this game, Bobby Hurley is only left to play to open up space.

After half court control, Bobby Hurley handed the ball to Hill.

Grant Hill is different from Lin Xing. Lin Xing is an aboveboard paddler. Hill refuses to paddle, and he still wants to struggle.

Every round, he has to catch the ball and rush.

But in almost every wave, he will be blocked by Lin Xing in the middle distance.

The more he shot, the lower his shooting percentage, and Hill stopped shooting.

This round is the same, Hill rushed a wave, did not have a chance, turned around and passed the ball.

It had to be Cherokee Parks, who pressed the rhythm of a single and made a mid-range shot.

Bang!

Even Lin Xing can't guarantee that every goal will be scored, let alone Cherokee Parks.

"Rebound, rebound!"

Tavor defended, but under the basket, Russell grabbed the rebound.

Lin Xing gave the command without hesitation: "Go forward! Don't give it to me!"

The oppressive force of the team bully attribute made Russell turn around and rush to the frontcourt immediately, and the Long Beach branch made another fast break.

This time, it was a purely defensive counterattack.

Under the impact of Lin Xing and Russell, it was even too late for Duke to retreat.

"Chong Chong, we are going to overtake!"

Lin Xingchong was the fastest. He rushed to the frontcourt, received a pass from Russell, and showed off a folding buckle.

Clang!
76 to 75, Long Beach took the lead!

"Don't worry, beat the rhythm!"

Off the court, Coach K emphasized again.

On the field, Lin Xing suddenly felt that his opponent in this game was not Grant Hill, but Old K on the sidelines.

Look how much trouble Old K has caused him so far in this game——

Lin Xing was forced to become a monster from the outside pinch defense at the beginning, then the inside pinch defense later, and then the combination of inside and outside pinch defense.

Fortunately, Lin Xing's hard power was stronger, and he pushed it down abruptly.

Now is the time to reap the fruits of victory, and it is also time for old K to see:
No amount of off-court gimmicks are useless in front of a real superstar.

Playing under the rhythm, Duke still tore apart the Long Beach defense line. This time it was Thomas Hill, who made a mid-range shot after a run.

76 to 77, Duke came back again.

Moreover, under the reminder of old K, they retreated quickly and did not give Lin Xing a chance to play a fast break.

There is no fast break anymore, positional warfare, it's time to test Lin Xing.

He could of course pass the ball to Lucios, but that's just not his style.

In this regard, there is still a big difference between him and Azhan.

Thomas Hill propped up his little short arm, mumbling in his mouth:

"Stop struggling, face to face, you can't be the opponent, you have to understand, Duke is the champion!"

Lin Xing rolled his eyes and opened his hand for a pick-and-roll.

He rarely picks and rolls, partly because, with Long Beach's configuration, the quality isn't much better even if he picks and rolls.

Another reason is that sometimes the pick-and-roll will block his way, so it's better to rush without the pick-and-roll.

But now, the situation is different.

With a pick and roll, he can completely get rid of the noisy Thomas Hill.

The quality of Tavor's pick-and-roll is indeed not high, but Lin Xing made a stride to get rid of Thomas Hill.

Immediately after, Grant Hill, who came up on top, was also directly swayed by Lin Xing with a big stride.

In this way, he rushed all the way to the basket, facing Parks, and there was another bang, a heavy dunk!
The score is like the Pistons, sometimes in and sometimes out.

Long Beach leads again...

Moreover, before he knew it, there was only one and a half minutes left in the game.

Time is running out.

The defense of turning around is what Lin Xing attaches the most importance to.

He still stared at Grant Hill, and then paid attention to the attack and defense in the middle.

Tavor still couldn't stand Parkes, but Russell made a contribution.

He suddenly blocked Parkes with a wave of defense.

Parks' first reaction was to pass the ball. He aimed at a teammate in the corner on the other side, and directly jumped up and passed the ball handsomely.

The basketball flew over quickly, but was cut off by a rough yellow hand in the middle...

"It's broken! It's broken, it's broken, it's broken!"

Stephen Smith yelled, on the court, Lin Xing had already controlled the basketball, and rushed to the frontcourt like a bolt of lightning.

Thomas Hill followed. He noticed that there were only 40 seconds left in the game, and impatiently he wanted to stop Lin Xing.

He stretched out his evil hand, trying to grab Lin Xing.

Lin Xing, who was bound to win the ball, strode forward like a bull, dragging Thomas Hill directly.

Two steps, three steps, rushed to the basket, roared and made a layup!

"Oh my God, it's the familiar Radu's attack again, Stalin is so perverted!"

Everyone was shocked, including Old K on the sidelines.

On the court, Lin Xing turned around, beat his chest, and roared.

He turned to Thomas Hill, who had been making noise for the whole game: "Do you know why Duke was the champion in the past two seasons?"

"why?"

Thomas Hill was in a dazed state, and he didn't quite understand why Lin Xing asked such a question.

Duke is the NCAA champion in the past two seasons, isn't that what he has been emphasizing?

Didn't Lin Xing ask himself in by asking this question?
In the next second, Lin Xing gave an extremely arrogant answer: "Because in the first two seasons, I was not in the NCAA!"

Lin Xing has reason to be arrogant, because Long Beach is only 40 seconds away from winning the game.

In the NCAA before 93, there was a wave of offense in 45 seconds.

This means that Duke only has time for the last attack.

The score was 80 to 77, with Long Beach leading by 3 points.

This in turn means that Duke can only tie the game at most and let the game go into overtime.

Lin Xing is very confident, overtime?Impossible!

"Byron, it's time to test you. This round, you go to defend Grant Hill!"

"Okay, boss!"

Russell's eyes lit up. He didn't know that Lin Xing asked him to switch defenses because at the last moment, Hill, who had no three-pointers, was no longer a threat.

On the contrary, Bobby Hurley, who sleepwalked for a whole game, and Thomas Hill, who talked and talked for a whole game, were huge threats.

Old K called a timeout. After the timeout, Grant Hill kicked off from the sideline.

Lin Xing directly confronted Bobby Hurley.

Why Bobby Hurley?very simple -

There are only two players with outstanding passing ability in Duke, one is Bobby Hurley and the other is Grant Hill.

Hill kicked off from the touchline, and that left Bobby Hurley alone.

40 seconds is enough time for Duke to slow down and organize a wave of offense, so their first choice for passing must be a playmaker, not the end point of the offense.

It was obvious what Lin Xing was up to.

He held off Bobby Hurley, and when the referee handed the ball to Hill, he suddenly turned his head and looked to the side, like a funny man.

Bobby Hurley was startled, thinking that there was something wrong with Lin Xing's side, so he quickly turned his head away.

In the end, he found that there was nothing.

When he turned his head around again, Lin Xing started to turn his head crazily.

Turn left, turn right, Bobby Hurley's collapsed mentality, which was teased, collapsed even more.

The mentally collapsed Bobby Hurley even forgot that he still had to catch the ball. When the five seconds approached, Hill was very anxious. He was so anxious that he couldn't find the route or even the target of the pass.

He could only pass the ball impatiently, re-enacting Polanqi's legend.

A pass was sent directly to Byron Russell.

With a bang, the audience exclaimed.

In the commentary seat, Tony Gay, who controls the field, announced loudly: "The pass was wrong, Long Beach got the ball, and the game is over!"
