King of shooting guards

Chapter 136 Finals (6)

The whistle blew and overtime began.

The Xining Raptors attacked, and thousands of spectators booed loudly in the auditorium, vigorously interfering with the Xining Raptors, in order to support Hongcheng.

"It's started." Luo Jinnan's eyes lit up and he looked intently.

"It's up to Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji." Xiaoli let out a foul breath, staring at the court without blinking.

Hu Xiaohai controlled the ball, and soon after halftime, he raised his eyes, and immediately took a panoramic view of the situation on the court. He glanced at Sima Shenji lightly, and suddenly accelerated, changed direction, and opened up at full speed, like a phantom. In an instant, he killed Sima Shenji and went straight to the inside line.

"Damn it, it was broken through again." Sima Shenji was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He was a bit behind Hu Xiaohai in terms of technique and speed.

Fortunately, Tao Ran had anticipated this a long time ago, so he specifically instructed Yan Kuan to quickly defend himself when Sima Shenji was breached.So seeing Sima Shenji being passed by, Yan Kuan took a quick step forward, stared at Hu Xiaohai with his hands open, and was careful to be on guard.

"It seems that Hongcheng has been prepared for a long time. It's not so easy to score easily." Hu Xiaohai frowned slightly, but he didn't care. With a flick of the wrist, he passed the ball.

On the other side, Geng Tianfang received the pass, pulled up and shot.

"Shh!"

goal
Hongcheng attacked, Sima Shenji advanced with the ball, Li Changgeng quickly ran to the frontcourt, he was startled as soon as he reached the frontcourt, the man who defended him was replaced by Hu Xiaohai.

"Come on, let me see how powerful you are as Hongcheng mvp!" Hu Xiaohai stared at Li Changgeng with a rarely excited expression on his usual indifferent face.

Li Changgeng glanced at him, but did not answer, just like Hu Xiaohai just now, he accelerated, changed direction, and broke through from the right. His first step was very fast, which surprised Hu Xiaohai, and Li Changgeng overtook him by half in an instant. position.But he was not simple, he quickly backed away, leaning against Li Changgeng sideways, staring at Li Changgeng all the time, not giving him a chance to get rid of himself.

"Hmph, do you think you can stop me like this?" At this moment, Li Changgeng suddenly dropped a sentence, and he suddenly took a slanting step back, instantly opened the distance between him and Hu Xiaohai, and then stood up. , the body leaned back, with a gentle flick of the wrist.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in.

"nice shot!"

"So handsome!"

In the auditorium, countless spectators cheered loudly, cheering for Li Changgeng's ball.It was also the first head-to-head confrontation between the two ace players, Li Changgeng and Hu Xiaohai, which was naturally exciting.

"If you want to challenge me, just come." Li Changgeng looked at Hu Xiaohai and said calmly.

Hu Xiaohai narrowed his eyes, his pupils contracted into needlepoints, looked at Li Changgeng and nodded, and said, "Okay, I will let you know that I am stronger than you." In an instant, his aura changed and he became even more aggressive. Cold, like a sharp sword, aggressive.

Hong Cheng retreated quickly, Hu Xiaohai advanced with the ball, passed the frontcourt and signaled his teammates to pull away, he didn't even look at Sima Shenji, only gave Li Changgeng a provocative look, then suddenly accelerated, dribbled the ball behind his back, After getting past Sima Shenji, he took advantage of the situation and made three big strides, scoring with one basket.

His speed is too fast, and there is a pause in the air, avoiding Shi Xiaomeng's block, this shot can be said to be very beautiful.

Changing to Hongcheng's attack, Li Changgeng took the ball and signaled to his teammates to pull away. Since Hu Xiaohai wants to fight one-on-one, let's go one-on-one. Who is afraid of whom?

The ball jumped in Li Changgeng's hands like an elf.

Suddenly, the frequency of his dribbling speeded up, he repeatedly changed direction left and right, and his shoulders shook accordingly, followed by a sudden acceleration to the right, which startled Hu Xiaohai and took half a step back.But it was too late, Li Changgeng quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, broke through, and jumped towards the left wing, their bodies collided in the air, Li Changgeng's body was thrown backwards, and the left wing was knocked into the air.

Ordinary people would lose their balance long ago under such circumstances, but Li Changgeng did not. He straightened his waist and abdomen, controlled his body, and made a small throw.

The goal was scored, the whistle sounded, it was 2+1.

Silently walked up to the free throw line and scored the ball. Li Changgeng turned around and gave Hu Xiaohai a faint look. The contemptuous look in his eyes made Hu Xiaohai's usual calmness impossible, and his heart was full of anger and murderous intent. Staring at Li Changgeng, he gritted his teeth and said, "In the next ball, I will definitely beat you."

"I'll wait for you." Li Changgeng said calmly. As for this one, it is obvious that Li Changgeng's 2+1 is more difficult and more beautiful.

Next, Hu Xiaohai started to confront Li Changgeng, if you score one, I will score one, and if you shoot a three-pointer, I will pay back one.

A few minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the two sides came and went, and each entered a few.

But in this way, the overall tactics of the Xining Raptors will not be able to fight. Although the confrontation between Hu Xiaohai and Li Changgeng is not inferior, but the Xining Raptors do not have him as a point guard to organize the offense. But there is also a Sima Shenji on the side who shoots cold shots from time to time, and unconsciously, the point difference is narrowed.

In the sixth and a half minutes of overtime, Sima Shenji took the ball from the outside, called his teammates to make a pick and roll, then went inside and made a layup with a low hand.equalized again

In the auditorium, countless spectators who supported Hongcheng became excited.

The coach of the Xining Raptors turned pale and called a timeout. When the players left the court, he called Hu Xiaohai to stop. Looking at his most valued and beloved disciple, he couldn't bear to scold him, so he could only sigh and said: " Do you know what's wrong?"

"I know." Hu Xiaohai lowered his head and said, he had already calmed down, thinking of his performance just now, he felt extremely guilty, "Coach, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so impulsive, I was wrong."

"It's good to know that you're wrong." The coach said, "Okay, let's take a rest, and don't fight Li Changgeng one-on-one later, you understand?"

"Ah."

The players sat down, and the coach glanced at the scoreboard, feeling an indescribable heaviness in his heart. The score is tied, and this game is not easy to play.

In fact, if Hu Xiaohai hadn't singled out Li Changgeng in the first few minutes, Hong Cheng wouldn't have been able to catch up so easily, at least not so quickly.

But Hu Xiaohai is determined to defeat Li Changgeng, to prove that he is better than Li Changgeng, he keeps singles, he is a point guard, without him, the Xining Raptors' ball will not run smoothly, and he takes up too much Possession of the ball makes teammates powerful but there is no way to use it. It is no wonder that the point difference is not narrowed.

"Later, play steadily, slow down, and hit the success rate." The coach held the tactical board in his hand, and said to the opponent's players, "The opponent is not terrible, they just rely purely on Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, just two It's just an individual, no matter how powerful it is, can it be stronger than the five of us?"

"Impossible! Remember, basketball is a sport for five people]" the coach said, looking at Hu Xiaohai again, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaohai, do you know what I like most about you?"

"That point?" Hu Xiaohai asked.

"Calm." The coach said, "Your skills are the best in the team, and your personal ability is also the best in the team, but these are not what I admire the most. What I admire most is your calmness. Keep calm, analyze the situation rationally, and play with your brain. So, you have become the point guard of the team and the offensive commander of our Xining Raptors. You have to remember, be calm, you know?"

"En." Hu Xiaohai nodded heavily, and assured, "Coach, don't worry, I won't be impulsive again."

Looking at Hu Xiaohai, the coach smiled gratifiedly. He was proud of having such a disciple and happy for Hu Xiaohai's understanding.

It's a pity that he forgot one thing. Calmness is necessary, but basketball is also a passionate sport. Sometimes, being too calm may not be a good thing.

On Hongcheng's side, Tao Ran didn't make too many arrangements. They mainly relied on Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji. Just the two of them, there couldn't be too many changes, and naturally they didn't have too many tactics to arrange.Tao Ran's idea is to leave everything to the players!
The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Xining Raptors attacked, and Hu Xiaohai had already calmed down. He didn't look at Li Changgeng, but followed the tactics assigned by the coach and followed the Xining Raptors' usual style of play.

Several people ran quickly, picked and rolled, screened, the left wing mentioned the upper line to cover, Hu Xiaohai broke through, threw the ball up, the left wing made an air cut, and made a dunk.

It has to be said that when Hu Xiaohai calmed down, the Xining Raptors' offense was extremely reasonable, and even their defense was a lot stricter.

However, Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji have already killed red eyes, immersed in the state of attack, their energy and spirit are united, as if possessed by a god, they can't stop it at all, even double-teaming is useless, the two of them can kill The siege leaves you helpless and helpless.

One is rigorous, orderly, and pays attention to the overall 'sex'; the other is violent, simple, and completely unreasonable.

This is a collision between two completely different styles of play, which burst out bright sparks and brought the audience a lot of enjoyment.

Sima Shenji took the ball, accelerated the breakthrough, and after reaching the inside, he jumped up facing the center, curled up in a ball, avoided the opponent's defense, and scored with a low-handed layup.

Facing the double-team, Li Changgeng made a breakthrough to the left, then dribbled the ball behind his back, took a step back, opened a little distance from the opponent, stepped outside the three-point line, and shot when he pulled up.

Taking the ball and feinting it, Sima Shenji directly pulled it out and leaned back to shoot.

Once again, Li Changgeng took the ball from outside the three-point line, and Li Changgeng made a shot, tricking the opponent into jumping up, and then accelerated to kill him. He took a step inside the free throw line and jumped up, like a magic soldier descending from the sky, with his legs bent, Stretching his body, he dunked fiercely with one hand!
In more than three minutes, Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji took over all of Hongcheng's attacks, and with their super personal ability, they scored a few in a row.

At the same time, the Xining Raptors also relied on Hu Xiaohai's connection and the close cooperation between teammates to score several goals in a row, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately.

With 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the score was tied again at 95:95.

For Hongcheng's possession, the Xining Raptors pressed all court, but Sima Shenji couldn't catch the ball. Li Changgeng ran out quickly, received the serve, and advanced with the ball himself.

After halftime, Hu Xiaohai quickly came up to meet him, staring at Li Changgeng coldly with sharp eyes, and secretly swore in his heart: "This ball must be defended no matter what!"

"This goal must be scored no matter what." Li Changgeng thought so in his heart, and the two faced each other like the sharp point of a needle.

The ball was jumping, Li Changgeng's pupils constricted, his feet stared, he suddenly accelerated, and rushed to the right.

"Don't think about it." Hu Xiaohai quickly moved to the left and got stuck.

Li Changgeng knew that it was impossible to get rid of the opponent so easily, so he quickly pulled the ball back and took a step back, as if he was about to jump.

Hu Xiaohai yelled in his heart that he was not good, and before he could think too much, he even raised his weight, but before he jumped up, he realized that Li Changgeng was just a fake move, Li Changgeng didn't intend to jump up, nor was he shooting. He just wanted to trick Hu Xiaohai into raising his center of gravity.

At this time, Li Changgeng suddenly lowered his head and accelerated, Hu Xiaohai's center of gravity was raised too high, and he had no time to retreat, so he could only watch Li Changgeng rush past him.

"Zuo Yi, stop him!" Hu Xiaohai shouted.

"Drink." Zuo Yi roared, and took a step forward, like a wall of people.

At this time, Li Changgeng suddenly took the ball away, made a very sudden jump, and jumped in front of Zuo Wing.

Leaping over the left wing, Li Changgeng was left with only the hoop in front of him. He landed on both feet, bent his knees, held the ball in both hands, and screamed loudly, as if springs were attached to his feet, he jumped up suddenly and flew into the air. Keep your feet more than one meter off the ground and your head almost level with the hoop.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, Li Changgeng flew up, staring at the basket, Huang He Yu Xiaowei's indifferent expression, distant voice suddenly flashed in his heart, a tingling pain spread from his heart to his whole body, he couldn't help it Opening his mouth and roaring, he threw the ball towards the basket with all his strength, as if this was the only way to vent the depression in his heart and relieve the pain from the bottom of his heart to his limbs.

"Bang dang."

In the horrified eyes of the audience, Li Changgeng smashed the ball into the basket, and a loud sound resounded throughout the arena.

Li Changgeng hangs his hands on the hoop and roars with his mouth open, like a King Kong glaring at him. The huge force deforms the hoop severely, and he utters an overwhelmed groan.

Too violent, too domineering!

It took several seconds for the audience to come back to their senses and burst into loud cheers.

Some people even had tears in their eyes because they couldn't help themselves, because this dunk was so good. After the jump, they had no momentum, almost jumping on the spot, but Li Changgeng was able to jump so high, stretching his body in the air, and then Struggling to buckle.

That kind of power, that kind of domineering, makes it difficult to calm down for a long time.

"This ball." Luo Jinnan opened his mouth, trying to organize his words and find a closer adjective, but he couldn't find it in the end, so he said helplessly: "This ball is great. I have never seen such a dunk before. incredible."

Xiaoli's eyes were also bright, but he had to calm down a lot, just looking at Li Changgeng, he couldn't help but smile on his face, very relieved.

At this moment, not only the fans at the scene were shocked and excited, but also the fans who were watching the game in front of countless TVs exploded in an instant.

This ball is so 'great', so beautiful.

Moreover, this ball also overtook the score for Hongcheng, rewriting the score to 97:95, Hongcheng led by 2 points, and there were 11 seconds left before the end of the fourth quarter.

In other words, the Xining Raptors still have another chance to attack. If they fail to score, then Hongcheng will win.

Therefore, this ball is of great significance, allowing Hongcheng to take the initiative again at this last moment. As long as the lower side defends the ball from Xining Raptors, it will win.And even if they can't defend, as long as the opponent is not allowed to score three points, the game will drag into overtime at most.

The coach called a timeout, looked up at the scoreboard, and shook his head helplessly. At this point in the game, Hong Cheng still has the advantage, which is really annoying!

However, he calmed down quickly, and said to his opponent: "There are still 11 seconds left, and we have another chance to attack, so don't worry, play steadily. My request is to fight for three guarantees and two, and strive to make a shot." A three-point lore kills the opponent, if the opportunity is not good, then we have to keep a two-pointer so that the game can be dragged into overtime, and then we will have a match with Hongcheng in overtime."

"Xiao Hai, it's up to you whether to shoot yourself or give it to your teammates later." The coach said, "Do you all understand?"

"I understand."

"understood."

Several people nodded, looking very serious.

Now it's on the edge of a cliff. To score this goal, it's either a lore or overtime. If you don't score, it's over.

Hongcheng side.

Tao Ran also looked solemn, and said to Li Changgeng and the others: "The ball must be defended later, and we will win if we defend. Li Changgeng, you and Sima Shenji will change later, and you will defend Hu Xiaohai, Sima Shen Let Geng Tian release the machine defense, and the positions of the others remain unchanged."

"Remember, expand the defensive line and don't let the opponent have a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Xiaomeng, you must pay special attention to the inside and protect the rebound. If the opponent still has time after shooting, you must not give the opponent a second chance to attack. Everyone Do you understand?"

"Understood." Several people nodded.

"Okay, defend this ball well." Tao Ran didn't say much, just patted the shoulders of several people, as if he wanted to pass his strength to them.

On the side, Lu Feng, Nong Guang, A Mu and others also stepped forward to cheer Li Changgeng and the others.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

With 11 seconds left, the Xining Raptors attacked. Hongcheng and the others looked dignified.

Hu Xiaohai controlled the ball, and a figure flashed in front of him. He couldn't help being taken aback, but soon he was relieved. At this time, if Sima Shenji still defended himself, then Hongcheng would be dead, so instead It is not surprising that Cheng Li Changgeng came to defend himself.

"Should I take this ball by myself, or give it to my teammates?" A thought flashed through Hu Xiaohai's mind, and he finally decided to see the situation. Anyway, there are still 10 seconds, which is enough.

The Xining Raptors ran quickly to cover, Hu Xiaohai controlled the ball with one hand, glanced at the timer, and saw that there were 6 seconds left, he gestured to his teammates, power forward Song Joong-ki understood, and quickly put up a pick-and-roll , Hu Xiaohai took the opportunity to speed up and rushed to the inside line.

Hongcheng's defensive line was greatly expanded, and the Xining Raptors were not given any chance to shoot three-pointers. It would be very risky to shoot reluctantly, so Hu Xiaohai decided to play it safe and took two points.

Yan Kuan, who was originally defending the opponent, quickly stepped forward to block Hu Xiaohai's route, Li Changgeng also quickly circled around, caught up with Hu Xiaohai, and fell tightly behind him.

After the pick-and-roll, he didn't cut to the inside, but pulled to the outside, standing one step inside the three-point line.

At this time, Hu Xiaohai can choose to play singles. Although Yan Kuan is in the front and Li Changgeng is in the back, he still has many ways to make a move.

However, he hesitated, because compared with himself, he was obviously drawn to the outside, Song Zhongji, who is now unguarded, has a better chance, should he come by himself, or give it to Song Zhongji?
Seeing that there were 2 seconds left in the time, Hu Xiaohai finally made a decision and chose to pass the ball. He remembered the coach's advice to be calm. Looking at it calmly, it was clear that Song Joong-ki was in a much better position than him, open and unguarded. , and it was near the free throw line, which is where Song Joong-ki is good at, but Song Joong-ki is not good at three-pointers, and he dare not take the risk of shooting three-pointers, otherwise there may be a lore.

Song Joong Ki received the ball and glanced at the time, there was only one second left, he had no other choice but to shoot immediately.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the orange basketball, watching it draw an arc, and finally hit the rim with a bang.Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ball bounced vertically again and fell, but it still hit the basket, and then rolled out and missed.

"call"

Countless people were relieved, and their hearts almost twitched.

I was so nervous at that moment just now. I wanted to cheer when I saw the ball hit the basket, but I was frightened again. Fortunately, the ball still missed in the end.

"Oh"

The cheers were thunderous, and thousands of spectators stood up and cheered for Hongcheng.

Song Zhongji's eyes were dull, and he froze on the spot. He didn't even make a shot. He missed such a crucial shot. He was really damned!
"Song Zhongji, don't do this, it's not your fault." Hu Xiaohai patted Song Zhongji and comforted him.

"Yeah." Song Zhongji sighed and said angrily, "Xiao Hai, you should throw that ball. If you throw it, you will definitely score."

Hearing this, Hu Xiaohai was shocked, and suddenly felt a little regretful, yes, I am the core of the team, and I should do the last attack by myself. In that case, only myself is the most sure, but why did I choose Pass, not shoot?
At this moment, Hu Xiaohai suddenly realized that he was really wrong. It is true that the game needs to be calm, but basketball also needs blood and momentum, especially when it is the last shot. Do it yourself.

it's over!
In the end, Hongcheng defeated the Xining Raptors 97:95 and successfully advanced. The next thing they will face is the national finals.

On the field, the Xining Raptors had already left, only the Hongcheng people were left, and everyone ran to the field, cheering uncontrollably.

"Haha, we won, we won!"

"We made it to the national competition, we succeeded."

All the players in Hongcheng were very excited. They surrounded Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, lifted them up, threw them into the air, caught them, and then threw them up again.
