Chapter 81 Is It Worth It?
Tianyang was sitting on the bench. Apart from being a little tired, the main reason was the tight muscles in his left ankle.

There are still 15 minutes in the game, and it is necessary to take a break, and Sheffield can only be replaced on the bench.

The whole team was ready to lose points, but after playing for 5 minutes in a row, the situation on the court was completely unexpected.

The teammates strictly implemented the tactics arranged before the game, and always maintained physical confrontation on defense, which made North Carolina's overall shooting rate extremely low; on offense, they always insisted on playing fast breaks, so that the physical talents of North Carolina players were not brought into play.

The two teams tied at 65-65, and Coach Roy called a timeout.

During the timeout, Shelfield excitedly explained how to sway past Page and score consecutive layups.

Seeing Shelfie's joy, Tianyang decided to let him play for a while.

I thought, it was another 5 minutes, and North Carolina used the pick-and-roll to let Justin hit Sheffield 6 goals in a row, and completely locked Sheffield on the defensive end.

North Carolina played a wave of 18-8 attacks, Shelfield looked frustrated, and the Sequoia was forced to call a timeout.But there is nothing to talk about. The defense is fine. Justin's personal ability was used to crush the Beikai goals; the defense problem is not too big, Shelfield can't dribble, North Carolina starts from the backcourt, and the Sequoia team plays fast. Don't get up, fall into the position is not an opponent.

Holding the tactical board, Tianyang casually emphasized a few words, then took off his outer shirt and prepared to go on the field.

Kobe, who was sitting in the back row of the bench, suddenly shouted to Tianyang: "Hey, kid, are you okay?"

Tianyang was at a loss and didn't understand what it meant. Kobe pointed at his feet, and Tianyang immediately understood.

He twisted his foot to indicate that there was no problem, then turned and walked on the field.

The game continued, Grant served from the sideline, and Tianyang took it and walked slowly towards the top of the arc.Walking to the top of the arc, Grant arrived at the same time, and the two quickly cooperated with the pick-and-roll.

Tianyang used the cover to go to the right.Joel strode close, trying to get ahead of the delay.

Tianyang retreated as planned, attracting the attention of both Joel and Page.

The two turned to Tianyang. At the same time, Grant was making an air cut to the basket, and Tianyang chose to pass the ball without hesitation.

Grant caught the ball and went straight to the basket, Bryce stepped forward to defend, Travis immediately slipped to the big open and waited.

Grant passed the ball and Travis scored an easy layup.

In the TNT commentary section, O'Neill breathed a sigh of relief, "Tianyang didn't show up for 10 minutes in a row, I thought he was injured."

Barkley smiled, "He is the protagonist in the movie, rising from the humble beginnings, and counterattacking all the way, how could he be injured?"

"No, no, no." Kenny waved his hands again and again. "The protagonists in movies generally experience setbacks. For example, Iron Man is trapped in a cave. Therefore, when developing the first generation of armor, big setbacks can lead to great opportunities."

O'Neill shook his head in disdain, "Life is not a movie, how can it be so dramatic?"

Ernie blinked, "Maybe life is more dramatic than movies, like 35 seconds and 13 minutes. Before McGrady typed it out, who could write such a plot?"

On the court, the Sequoias defended North Carolina against a 30-second offensive violation, turned around and launched a fast break to score 2 points.

With just two offenses and one defense, it showed that whether the Sequoia team had Tianyang or not was completely two teams.

随后3分钟的时间，红杉队连进3球并且又防下北卡2次进攻，靠一波10比2的攻击波，将分差缩小为2分。

Coach Roy wanted to pause again, and the discussion on social networks reached another climax.

LeBron: "I'm back again. I promised the children to watch the game. I have to say that the game was really exciting. The two teams took the lead alternately, and the offense and defense were very good."

Wade: "This finals will definitely be recorded in the history of the NCAA. It is too dramatic."

The timeout ends, Nate catches the ball from the sideline and walks towards the top of the arc, Marcus sticks up to defend.

Under fierce pressing, Nate passed the ball to Page at the top of the arc.

Page dribbles to the left and runs a pick-and-roll with Justin on the left wing.

Getting rid of Tianyang, Paige rushed to the basket against Michelle's defense, but rushed to the paint area and found that there was no chance, so he stopped and passed the ball to Justin who ran to the left corner without the ball.

Justin raised his arms and pushed Tianyang away, rushed to the basket like a wild horse, jumped directly and dunked with both hands, and North Carolina led by 4 points.

During the whole process, Tianyang stayed where he was. Because of Justin's offensive foul, he thought the referee would blow the whistle, but he didn't blow the whistle. He lost the opportunity and couldn't catch up again.

1 minutes and 30 seconds left.

The Sequoia team attacked again, Marcus advanced with the ball and passed it to Tianyang in the middle circle.

Tianyang held the ball at the top of the arc and waited for an opportunity. Justin defended closely and no one else double-teamed.

Apparently, North Carolina's strategy is to let go of surprises but not to throw them in.

Since the opponent did not double-team, Tianyang stretched out his hand without hesitation to signal his teammates to disperse.

At the last moment, there was no more exciting bridge than this one-on-one match. More than 7 fans stood up and applauded.

I saw Tianyang dribbling the ball under his crotch, changing hands quickly and shrugging his shoulders high.

Five times in a row, Justin finally revealed the flaw on the right side, and Tianyang immediately cut in, with his whole body and the floor at a 5-degree angle, rushing towards the hoop.

He was very fast, but he still couldn't get rid of Justin's defense and could only make a sideways three-step layup.

"Crack!", Justin jumped high, and a big hat slapped the basketball.

Fortunately, Travis followed up and made a tip-up.

In the TNT commentary section, O'Neill looked puzzled: "Why did Tianyang jump so low? Did you hesitate?"

North Carolina attacked again, Justin looked for a place, and the top of the arc singled out Tianyang.

Justin didn't have high or difficult dribbles, and only relied on a pair of long legs to take a step unreasonably, and then leaned on Tianyang to break through to the basket.

After entering the free throw line, he immediately started a three-step layup with the ball in both hands. Such a breakthrough method obviously has to be tough.

Resisting is definitely not enough, Tianyang decided to turn passive into active and cut the ball directly.

Coincidentally, Justin just raised his hand at the same time he struck.

With a "pop", the basketball was sent flying, and Travis and Blass next to the two fell to the ground at the same time to grab the ball.

Immediately, Tianyang and Justin also joined in to grab the ball, making a mess, and the basketball rolled out of bounds.

The referee blew his whistle to indicate the frontcourt ball, and the boos of the Sequoia fans instantly resounded throughout the stadium.

Fortunately, the replay of the live video showed that it was Brass who knocked the basketball out of bounds, and the referee re-judged the backcourt ball.

The Sequoia team attacked again, with 1 minute left, Marcus dribbled the ball across halftime and handed it to Tianyang.

Still singled out, Tianyang continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, stalemate for a while, and then walked to the right.Justin tried his best to intercept, but Tianyang suddenly stopped and changed direction on the right wing, and went straight to the inside. Justin lost his defensive position in an instant.

Tianyang entered the paint area, faced Bryce with a three-step layup, and hit the pull bar while dodging in the air.

The Sequoia team overtook by 1 point, and Coach Roy called a timeout with only 30 seconds left.

In the TNT commentary seat, the four of O'Neill had a heated discussion about what tactics North Carolina will use.On social networks, NBA stars such as James and Wade expressed their excitement.The voices of the fans at the scene were hoarse.

The timeout ends and North Carolina attacks.

Joel serves from the sideline, Nate catches the ball and stays on the sideline waiting for an opportunity, Page and Bryce cover for Justin at the top of the arc.

All kinds of crazy screens and defenses in the two places.Seeing that the attack time was coming, Nate made a sudden pass.The object of the pass is not Justin, who the Sequoia has been focusing on guarding, but Page.Fortunately, Tianyang reacted quickly enough and rushed forward, but Page twisted his body in the air and hit a 3-pointer.

North Carolina led by 2 points, with only 3 seconds left, Blount on the sidelines signaled a timeout.

The North Carolina fans at the scene went into a frenzy. As long as they defend the last attack of the Sequoia team, they will win the sixth NCAA championship trophy for the first time.

Jordan stood up from his chair excitedly, cheering and applauding with a kind of North Carolina celebrity.

In the blink of an eye, the pause ended.

Grant served from the sideline and Tianyang received the ball from the top of the arc.Facing a three-person double-team, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the right wing.

His footsteps are fast, and when he reaches the right wing, he kicks the ground and rushes into the inside lane.

The speed was too fast, and the three double-teamers couldn't stop them. Nate subconsciously stretched out his hand and pulled Tianyang.

Tianyang staggered two steps and threw the ball towards the hoop before falling down.

Hit!At the same time, the referee blew his whistle and added a penalty, with only 0.2 seconds left.

But Tianyang, who should have been extremely excited, lay on the ground and sat for a while before getting up.

Kobe behind the bench let out a long sigh of relief, and said to himself, "It's good that I'm not injured."

Tianyang walked slowly to the free throw line, and North Carolina fans booed non-stop.His goal may determine the ownership of the 2016 NCAA championship.

The referee passed the ball, Tianyang caught it, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to shoot.

The basketball hit the rim, and the North Carolina fans were in ecstasy, but the basketball fell into the rim again in an instant, and Jordan suddenly burst into tears.

Time ran out, the game was over, and all Sequoia fans and players on the scene began to celebrate.Only Farage ran to Tianyang who fell to the ground.

Behind the bench, the smile on Kobe's face disappeared suddenly, and he muttered: "Is it worth it?"
