Junior Basketball says

Chapter 281

Xu Hao stood there, still maintaining his shooting posture. In his eyes, the basketball was like flying in slow motion, drawing a very obvious trajectory in mid-air, and then obediently got into the basket.He unconsciously opened his mouth wide. The other players of the Chinese team also opened their mouths wide. The mouths of the fans in the audience were even wider than they could fit a light bulb.

what's the situation?Is the game over now?The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the United States and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Championships for the first time in team history?

Before everyone could react, the referee blew short whistles and crossed his arms in front of his chest in a scissors shape. This is... the goal was invalid?The Chinese players who were about to jump up to celebrate were impatient. They ran over and surrounded the referee, asking him to give an explanation.The referee shrugged, squeezed out of their encirclement, and walked to the technical table. He needed to replay the video to determine what the ball was like, a lore or a timeout?

The fans in the audience also fell silent. They knew how important this goal was. It can be said that whoever will continue the journey and who will pack up and go home, the decision is in the hands of the referee. It is very important to keep quiet at this time. Necessary.

The referee of this game was also sweating on his forehead. How could he ignore something that the fans knew well?This requires that his penalty must have a conclusive basis, and the decision made must leave both players with nothing to say.

To be on the safe side, he called two other line referees to watch the replay of the game video with him on the technical table.For this kind of final countdown lore, it is mainly to look forward from the direction behind the player. Of course, it is also possible to observe whether the shot is overtime through the lens of other angles.This game is very important, and the judgment of this goal should naturally be more cautious.

The three referees gathered in front of the technical table, wearing huge headphones, and watched the shots from various angles back and forth seven or eight times.In the end, they judged that when the timer counted down to zero, the basketball hadn’t left Xu Hao’s palm. In other words, it wasn’t a successful three-point shot, it was just an overtime shot, and the winner was still the U.S. Men's Basketball.

The referee also feels sorry for the Chinese men's basketball team. As long as there is 0.1 seconds more in the remaining time, the result will be completely different, but his professionalism prevents him from saying that black is white in full view, so he can only express regret. up.

After the three referees discussed it, the result was unanimous. The referee nodded, sighed slightly, put the headset on the table, and once again made a gesture to invalidate the goal.The American players who were standing there dumbfounded screamed and hugged each other, celebrating this hard-won victory. The fans at the scene also gave encouraging applause to the players on both sides.

In stark contrast to them, the ecstasy on the faces of the Chinese players froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xu Hao suddenly felt his legs go limp and fell to the ground involuntarily.Seeing the referee's gesture of invalidating the goal, Xu Hao silently covered his face with his hands. He didn't expect that the lore would fail in the end, and he would stop at the top eight of the World Championships.

The other Chinese players didn't recover for a long time. They stood there in a daze, as if they still didn't believe this fact.However, the numbers on the scoreboard kept reminding them that they still lost the crucial game of eight to four.

But it is undeniable that this was a wonderful game. The Chinese men's basketball team, which was not optimistic before the game, actually fought fiercely with the United States until the last moment, and even almost defeated its opponent.Although there was no reversal and victory, this group of Chinese players also created the smallest point difference between China and the United States in the World Series. They can be proud of their performance in this game.

After the American players celebrated their victory, they came over to comfort their opponents very gracefully. As a teammate of the Timberwolves, Love walked up to Xu Hao, pulled him up with all his strength, and then gave him a tight comforting hug. .

Love said loudly in Xu Hao's ear: "Chris, you have done a good job in this game. Chauncey and the others in the locker room are full of praise for your strength. Missing the lore is not your problem. Of course I know it's a pity, but you are still young and you still have a lot of opportunities to play for your country, and I look forward to playing against you on the world stage next time!"

Xu Hao patted Love on the back and whispered: "I'm fine. Go and celebrate with your teammates. I wish you can successfully win this World Championship. Also, next time we play against each other, I will I won’t let the team lose again…”

Le Fu nodded and said nothing.He was reassured about Xu Hao's psychological quality. Although he might feel regretful and self-blame for missing the final shot for a while, he would soon be able to cheer up again. His comfort actually didn't have much effect.Letting go of Xu Hao, Love went to comfort Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. He also played against these two in the NBA.

Soon other members of Dream Nine team also came up to comfort Xu Hao.Although they have played against each other in the NBA, they still admire Xu Hao's ability to attack in series and turn the Chinese men's basketball team into a strong team that can compete with the United States.Moreover, Xu Hao's lore overtime also made them break out in a cold sweat. If there is another blink of an eye, they might lose the game. This is a very rare experience for American players, and of course they don't want to try again once.

In addition, Xu Hao's data in this game is actually very good. Facing a group of outstanding NBA guards, he was still able to hand over the transcripts of 21 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, which is already very good.Americans have such a personality. If you play well, even if you lose, they will still pay tribute to you, and think that this is what the strong should do.

Although his opponents and teammates offered comfort, Xu Hao still couldn't forgive himself.In his opinion, if he runs faster and gets rid of Rose more concisely, with his super fast shooting speed, he will definitely be able to shoot the three-pointer that determines the outcome of the game before time runs out. , in the final analysis, I just didn’t do well enough.

But it's useless to say anything now. The result of the game has been determined. China lost to the United States 96-98 and missed the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals of the World Championships for the first time in team history. The next step will be in the qualifying match. performance.

Xu Hao looked at the Dream Nine team celebrating wantonly in the other half, and secretly clenched his fists. No matter what opponent he would face in the qualifying match, he would not allow him to lose any more games.Even if you can't help the team reach the semi-finals, isn't it enough to break No. 8's best record?Only by winning can we answer all doubts.
