zero second lore

Chapter 64 The Last Ball

With 31 seconds left in the game, Lizhong is still behind by 1 point, but the time for a high school basketball game is 30 seconds for an attack, and even if Mingguang Middle School does not make an attack within 30 seconds, there is only 1 point left for Lizhong. seconds.

Mingguang Middle School called a timeout. For them, they can guarantee that they will not concede the ball within 30 seconds, and the victory of the game is basically in their pockets.

For Gao Jing, she faces two choices, one is to press the ball all over the court, double-team the ball holder, force Mingguang to make a mistake, win the ball before the time runs out, and then suspend the attack.

The second is to shrink the defense. We can no longer let Mingguang Middle School score goals. We will try our best to protect the backcourt rebounds and fight for the last bit of offensive time.

The first choice is more risky. Once successful, there is plenty of time to attack. If you are lucky, you may be able to counterattack and score directly without a timeout, and the situation will be reversed in an instant; but the risk is relatively high. If the double-team fails, it will be easy for Mingguang to find a gap Score, the game is basically explained.

The second choice is conservative. Judging from the current physical strength and defensive posture of both sides, the whole team is shrinking. Unless Yin Lai or Yan Mingzhe breaks out and makes a three-pointer from the outside, it will not be a big problem to defend this attack.Moreover, when Jiang Xiaowu holds a one-point advantage, he will not easily let players throw around outside the three-point line.

As long as this option protects the backcourt rebounds and calls a timeout after the defense is down, there will be a chance of life, but it is only a chance, because the time is really too little.

Gao Jing's mind was running fast, she thought about the pros and cons of these two options in a short period of time, and then made a decision, she chose the second one.

According to Gao Jing's personality, she would have chosen the first option, but she knew that the first option required players to have a good degree of defensive cooperation, and she must never make mistakes by herself.

But the problem is that this Li Squadron has not yet started the targeted training of full-court pressing and double-team defense. Gao Jing is worried that if such a risky tactic is adopted at such a critical moment, it is likely to miss people and cause points to be lost. crash.

Therefore, she chose a conservative plan and said to everyone: "One-on-one defense, be optimistic about every opponent, and you must remember to protect the rebounds in the backcourt and the basket. If they want to be on the three-point line Outside shots, let them shoot!"

The players in Lizhong drank water frantically. The atmosphere on the scene was suffocating. Just hitting a three-pointer made everyone fall into ecstasy, but the fact that there was still 1 point to go and the fact that time was running out made everyone calm down again.

"Coach, don't you try to press the defense?"

Zhang Fan suggested that he felt that it would not be possible to win by simply defending against the opponent.

Gao Jing shook her head and said: "You guys don't press to defend at all. Mingguang must be deploying tactics to break the press. Well, don't be verbose. We still have a chance. Everyone, come on, come on!"

"come on!"

........................

The game restarted, and Mingguang chose to serve from the backcourt. Jiang Xiaowu did think that he might be pressed by Lizhong. Pull it further apart.

Jiang Xiaowu knows that Lizhong has never been a team that is good at full-court pressing. After all, this is the team he has led for many years. It is impossible for Gao Jing to practice full-court pressing in just a few weeks. .If Lizhong dared to risk a full-court press, Yin Lai's speed would make them look good.

Sure enough, Lu Yuan took the lead to defend Yin Lai, and everyone else retreated to the backcourt, and defended near the three-second zone. According to this posture, Lizhong made it clear to defend against breakthroughs and shoot three-pointers. If you have the ability, you can shoot!
Mingguang's arrow figure, Yan Mingzhe, is entangled tightly by Ren Zhaoliang. Ren Zhaoliang was known as the desperate Ren Sanlang in junior high school.

Yin Lai was watching while dribbling the ball. He counted the time silently in his heart. For 30 seconds, he had 25 seconds to think and make a decision. During the timeout, Jiang Xiaowu said, if you are not sure, don’t make a shooting choice easily, and you would rather not shoot. Do not cast randomly.

At this time, Yan Mingzhe suddenly pushed Ren Zhaoliang away, then circled around Ren Wangre, and ran to a suitable position to catch the ball with the help of his cover. Yin Lai quickly passed the ball to Yan Mingzhe!
Lizhong's defense had a loophole because of Ren Wangre's cover. Ren Zhaoliang chose to squeeze past the defense, keeping up and not giving Yan Mingzhe a shot, but gave Yan Mingzhe a chance to break through!
Gao Jing's heart sank on the sidelines, Ren Zhaoliang should not squeeze through, but should go around, he would rather give a shot than a breakthrough!

Sure enough, Yan Mingzhe went in with the ball, Zou Zhou had to foul Yan Mingzhe, and the referee blew his whistle.

Fortunately, Lizhong fouled just five times in the second half, Zou Zhou just fouled for the sixth time, and the team has not yet reached the point where seven fouls require free throws.

The bad news is that this is Zou Zhou's fifth personal foul, and he was sent off. Lizhong's inside line suddenly lost an important pillar.

Only Zeng Hongzhi and Wang Yourong were left on the bench, these two inside players. Gao Jing looked at it, Zeng Hongzhi was still picking his nose, and Wang Yourong looked a little scared with averted eyes.

"Wang Yourong!" Gao Jing shouted.

"Here!" Wang Yourong suddenly stood up from the bench, he knew that he must play!

........................

Wang Yourong jumped up from the bench, startling the people of Mingguang Middle School, good guy, the big tall guy hiding on the bench is only coming out now.

And that Bai Ye was still sitting on the stool calmly, and the people in Mingguang couldn't help but think that this year's Lizhong is really unfathomable.

Wang Yourong walked onto the court, and walked to Zhang Yu and Ren Wangre with a serious face.

Zhang Yu is 2 meters tall, which is considered tall in the high school competition, but Wang Yourong is a little taller than him.Moreover, Zhang Yu is tall and thin, and Wang Yourong is stout. Standing together, Wang Yourong looks a lot bigger than Zhang Yu.

In the last dozen or so seconds, Wang Yourong made a stop on the inside line, and with Zhang Fan added, Lizhong's inside line seemed to be filled at once.Zhang Yu glared at Wang Yourong fiercely, stepped forward and kept pushing, pushing, and pulling Wang Yourong, trying to push him away from the inside line so that his teammates could rush for the offensive rebound.

But Wang Yourong didn't move at all, fixed on the basket in the three-second zone, Zhang Yu was like a wild boar scratching its skin on a big tree.

At the same time, Yin Lai served from the outside and passed it to Lu Ping. Lu Ping passed the ball to Yan Mingzhe. This is the most trusted point of attack from the outside of Mingguang Middle School. Their previous tactics can no longer be used, and they can only rely on the individual ability of the players. .

Facing Ren Zhaoliang, Yan Mingzhe failed to sway his opponent away with fake moves, so he had to step back after dribbling to open up space, and made a quick jump shot from the bottom line on the right!
For the crucial goal, all the students stood up, their hearts were in their throats, and time seemed to slow down.

Ren Zhaoliang defended the ball very well and tried his best to interfere with Yan Mingzhe's shooting. If he scored, there was no way to blame him.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the neck of the basket, missed!
The audience at the scene almost cried out, but the rebound was not known whose hands it would be in, so the voice was suppressed again.

Ren Wangre roared, wanting to rush up to grab this offensive rebound, as long as he grabs the offensive rebound, the game is basically over.

But Wang Yourong, who was standing in the three-second zone, opened his arms and filled the basket by himself, Ren Wangre couldn't get up at all.Wang Yourong alone stood up to Ren Wangre and Zhang Yu!

It was Lu Yuan who really rushed!He took off with all his strength, flew over everyone's heads, and took the ball into his arms like picking up the stars and catching the moon.

"Pause! Pause!" Lu Yuan shouted while holding the ball after landing, while making a pause gesture.

Mingguang's people wanted to gather around to grab the ball and cause a scramble, but it was too late. The referee saw Lu Yuan's gesture, blew his whistle, and gave Lizhong a final timeout.

Because there is no formal electronic timer, there is no video playback, relying on manual timing, the technical desk on the sidelines gives instructions, and there are 1.3 seconds left in the game.

........................

1.3 seconds, a split second, is only enough to complete a shot, only enough to pass a ball, only enough to drink a sip of water, and only enough to smoke a cigarette.

But now, Gao Jing has to find a way to turn Lizhong into victory.

If Gao Jing is now coaching an NBA team, he can let the superstar in the team catch the ball and complete the offense, or design a complex tactic, which has been practiced countless times in normal training.

But now, this is a high school invitational game, and he is on a high school basketball team, and they haven't seriously practiced key ball tactics.After playing for 40 minutes, they were all out of breath and their physical fitness was reaching the limit.

give up?Absolutely, Gao Jing can't give up, the team members won't agree, and the nervous, excited and anxious students at the scene also don't want to see such a result.

There is no essential difference between losing 1 point and losing 40 points.

She wants to win!The players want to win too!

The timeout was only 1 minute, Gao Jing glanced at the bench, if Bai Ye played from the beginning, he would be the best killer, but now he can't be played anymore.Besides, if Bai Ye had been on the field from the beginning, he wouldn't be in the current situation.

Gao Jing saw Zeng Hongzhi again, he was still picking his nose, this useless guy... useless, is Zeng Hongzhi really useless?Gao Jing suddenly thought that Zeng Hongzhi was not useless at all.

"Ceng Hongzhi, come here and get ready to play!" Gao Jing shouted.

Hearing this, Zeng Hongzhi took his fingers out of his nose, stood up and walked forward, raised his trousers, and lifted his belt above the navel, looking extremely calm.

Gao Jing arranged a tactic in 30 seconds, a very risky and bold tactic.

The timeout ended and the game continued. In the last 1.3 seconds, Lizhong fell behind by one point. The last chance, life or death, was in this moment.

Zeng Hongzhi unexpectedly replaced Zhang Fan. He stood out of bounds and seemed ready to serve.

Mingguang Middle School adopted man-to-man defense to strictly prevent the opponent from catching and shooting, because within 1.3 seconds, it must be too late to break through, and basically they can only shoot.

The referee called the ball to Zeng Hongzhi, and all the students stood up. On the rostrum, Zhu Yida felt that his urine was about to come out. He had never been so nervous before.

In other places, in universities in various cities, those seniors and seniors who graduated from Lizhong were sweating while holding their mobile phones. Some people dared not watch and turned off the live broadcast.

Peng Tianzuo covered his face with the flag, and only set up a mobile phone tripod in front of him to shoot, and he didn't dare to look at it at all.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle, Lizhong served the ball, and made the final attack!
Wang Yourong suddenly started and pushed towards the inside line like a bulldozer, pushing Ren Wangre and Zhang Yu away.At this time, Zeng Hongzhi made a shot. He pushed the ball up into the air with both hands, and the ball spun rapidly in the air and flew straight to the basket.

Is he going to throw the ball straight into the basket?
No!Because Lu Yuan glides and takes off on the runway cleared by Wang Yourong, he leaps high into the air, like a docking space station in space, it is precisely calculated and docked with the flying ball.

Lu Yuan grabbed the ball with one hand, and without hesitation, dunked the ball hard into the basket!
"Beep!!"

The referee whistled, and the game ended at 56:55. The gymnasium, which was silent for a second, fell into complete madness.
