I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 36 Passed through danger and advanced to the top 4

"After 5 minutes of hand-to-hand combat, the physical strength of both sides was very exhausted, and it was impossible to continue the fierce physical confrontation, and they all relied on their will to fight on the court."

"There is not much time left for Duke University. With the previous goals from Lee and Wade, Marquette University widened the point difference to 10 points. If Duke University does not stand up and score, the game is over. .”

"I don't know how the old coach K will adjust this timeout. It is conceivable that they will not just catch them and give up the victory."

In the commentary booth, Barkley and Kenny Smith quickly reported the progress of the game to the fans.

After the two teams strengthened their defense, actions such as hugging, pushing, and overhanding were common. The referee also controlled the scale of physical confrontation. The number of fouls gradually increased, and the game process became intermittent. The offensive rhythm of the two teams was also interrupted and could not be normal. Score.

Marquette University took advantage of Duke University's mistakes, Wade broke through and caused a foul, scored 2 free throws, and Li Xuan made an empty cut to the basket, widening the point difference to 10 points for the first time.

On the sidelines, the old coach K immediately used a small number of timeouts to let the players rest, and at the same time arrange the final offensive and defensive tactics.

After returning to the bench, Li Xuan replaced the mineral water he drank with the [functional drink] produced by the system. It is really cool to open it at a critical moment.

After drinking it, he obviously felt that his physical strength was recovering quickly, and he should be able to recover more than half of his physical strength when he went on the court, which was enough for him to cope with the next game.

But now Li Xuan had to pretend to be physically exhausted, lower his opponent's vigilance, and deal a fatal blow to his opponent at the critical moment.

Taking advantage of the pause, the professionals in the auditorium quickly communicated and expressed their opinions.

"Grant, it seems that the situation of the juniors at your alma mater is not going well!"

McGrady leaned on the seat sleepily, looking lazy.

"No way, they have tried their best, and the game is not over yet, everything can happen."

Grant Hill spread his hands helplessly. He didn't expect the game to be played like this. He was also sweating for his alma mater, and he might have an upset.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

"With the last 3 minutes of the game, Duke University trailed by 10 points. They lowered the height, replaced the center forward, and replaced a point guard, ready to fight to the death!"

At the last moment of the game, the old coach K of Duke University used his trump card to replace the team's best sixth man on the field, ready to put all his eggs in one basket!
A player with plenty of energy and three-point shooting ability may become a surprise player in this game.

Duke University's offense, Redick quickly ran on the perimeter without the ball, attracting defensive attention.

Among the Duke University players on the field, Redick has the highest three-point shooting percentage. He must be the focus of the Golden Eagles, followed by the energetic pitcher.

After Duke University's complex cooperation, Redick was used as a bait to attract the defense, creating space for Duhon to shoot, and the latter seized the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.

With a swish sound, a steady hit!

74: 67!

Offensive and defensive transition, Marquette University offense.

This time in the attack, Li Xuan had a chance to run without the ball, and after receiving the ball, he made a shooting action.

At this time, the defensive attention of Duke University players was focused on Li Xuan, and Sheldon Williams near the penalty area gritted his teeth and insisted on running forward to extend his arms to interfere.

Seeing this, Li Xuan didn't choose to shoot. He quickly took the ball back and threw it vigorously towards the basket.

Sheldon Williams failed to intercept the ball with both hands and feet, and immediately turned and ran towards the basket.

The Marquette Golden Eagles fans stood up and cheered the goal when they saw the ball pass to the hoop without being intercepted.

However, at this time, Marquette Golden Eagles center Maynard, who received a pass inside, lost the chain.

Clang!
No empty baskets! ?
Sighs came from the stadium. Maynard not only wasted Li Xuan's assist, but also gave Duke University a chance to breathe.

Sheldon Williams, who was chasing back, desperately grabbed the rebound and threw the ball forward vigorously. Duke University launched a defensive counterattack, forming a three-on-two situation in the frontcourt.

After passing consecutively, Jones, who ran to the right corner, got a chance, and without mercy, he made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

The basketball hit the front of the rim and bounced and fell into the net fortunately!
The score on the big screen at the scene became 74:70.

In just two rounds, the difference has been chased to only 4 points.

On the sidelines, the cheers of Duke University fans returned again.

The continuous pursuit of points seems to give them hope of winning.

"Maynard! Don't be affected, focus on defense and protect the rebounds. You are one of the most important links in our team!"

"It doesn't matter! We are still in the lead. Let's cheer up, defend well and protect the defensive rebounds. The final victory must belong to us!"

The teammate failed to make an empty basket, and the team lost points in a row. Li Xuan immediately called his teammates together to give them encouragement, stabilize the morale and morale of the army.

Calm and calm, with leadership qualities.

Naturally, the scouts in the auditorium would not miss this detail, and recorded the characteristics of Li Xuan's on-the-spot performance in the scout report. These data are likely to affect his final draft ranking.

"Brother, you stole my lines. It seems that you want to seek power and usurp the throne to become the boss. Not to mention, a top student is a top student. I can't say such inspiring words."

After Wade gave Li Xuan a thumbs-up, he ran to the bottom line to receive the serve.

"Defence!"

"Defence!"

"Defence!"

Facing the noisy shouts of Duke University fans, Wade dribbled and advanced to the top of the arc to organize an offense.

At this time, Maynard and Novak both ran out of neutral at the same time, but Wade did not choose to pass the ball. At the critical moment, he must hit the most certain scoring point.

Dribbling with his left hand, Wade suddenly slowed down with a step outside the three-point line, looked up at the basket, and raised his elbow slightly upward.

Shot fake? !

Although Wade's three-point shooting ability was very poor, Du Hong, who was in charge of defense, didn't dare to bet and immediately rushed forward. If Wade hit a three-pointer at this time, the game would really be over.

The moment Du Hong rushed forward, Wade paused, switched the ball to his right hand, and rushed directly past him.

Bless Buddha!

Wade went inside and was defended by two Duke University defenders. He threw the ball to the right and was about to grab a rebound.

At this time, Li Xuan, who ran to the right corner with the help of a cover, was already unguarded. After receiving the basketball, he jumped up and made a standard shooting posture to throw the ball.

All eyes are on the basketball flying in the air, which will determine the outcome of this game.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

I don't know how many Duke University fans' confidence was shattered by this ball.

On the playing field, Duke University has not given up yet, serving quickly and trying to grab a three-pointer.

After receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, Redick made a fake pass and made a real pass to attract the defense and create shooting conditions for Jones.

After Jones received the ball, he made no adjustments and made a quick shot.

The moment he made a shot, he saw Li Xuan, who was defending back from the side, take off vigorously and stretch his arms, his heart skipped a beat.

Jones couldn't believe his eyes, just now he clearly saw Li Xuan go to help defend Redick, why did he come back so soon?Why is his physical strength so abundant?

A series of questions resulted in a loud bang.

"Clap!"

The basketball was photographed near the middle circle, and Wade rushed forward with all his strength, scrambling for the basketball, and then rushed to the basket to score a precious 2 points.

"It's over, it's all over. Marquette University has secured the victory. Unless there is a miracle, it's useless for Jordan to play in person." Barkley joked loudly excitedly.

Jordan, who was watching the game in the front row, had a black line on his face. This fat man definitely did it on purpose, but he had to admit that with the last 40 seconds left, chasing 9 points really needed a miracle.
