King of shooting guards

Chapter 156 Entering the Finals
"Calm." 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, which you can maintain at any time." Analyze the situation calmly and rationally, and play with your brain. So, you have become the point guard of the team and the offensive commander of our HLJ Tyrannosaurus rex. You have to remember, be calm, you know?"

"Yeah." The opponent's point guard nodded heavily and assured, "Coach, don't worry, I won't be impulsive again."

Looking at the opponent's point guard, he smiled with relief. He was proud of having such a disciple, and happy for the sensible point guard of the opponent.

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.

HLJ Tyrannosaurus rex attacked, the opponent's point guard had already calmed down, he didn't look at Li Changgeng, he just followed the tactics assigned by the coach, following the usual style of play of HLJ Tyrannosaurus rex.

Several people ran quickly, pick and roll, screen, the left wing mentioned the up-line screen, the opposing point guard broke through, threw the ball up, the left wing made an air cut, and made a dunk.

86: 84.

I have to say that when the opponent's point guard calmed down, HLJ Tyrannosaurus rex's offense was extraordinarily reasonable, and even the defense was a lot more rigorous.

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 holistic; 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, HLJ Tyrannosaurus also relied on the connection of the opponent's point guard 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 of the ball, HLJ Tyrannosaurus used a full-court press, but Amu couldn't catch the ball. Li Changgeng ran out quickly, received the serve, and pushed forward with the ball.

After halftime, the opponent's point guard 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 even think about it." The opposing point guard moved quickly 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.

The opponent's point guard yelled in his heart that he was not good, and before he had time to think too much, he even raised his center of gravity, but before he jumped up, he realized that Li Changgeng was just a fake move. Li Changgeng didn't want to jump up at all, nor was he Shooting, just trying to trick the opposing point guard into raising his center of gravity.

At this time, Li Changgeng suddenly lowered his head and accelerated. The opponent's point guard lifted his center of gravity too high and had no time to retreat. He could only watch Li Changgeng rush past him.

"Left wing, stop him!" the opposing point guard yelled.

"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. He stared at the basket. Suddenly, Yu Xiaowei's indifferent expression and distant voice from Ninth Middle School flashed in his heart. Opening his mouth and roaring, he threw the ball into the basket with all his strength, as if the only way to vent the depression in his heart was to 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 language and find a closer adjective, but he couldn't find it in the end, so he said helplessly: "This ball is so 'great', I have never seen it like this before." Dunk, unbelievable."

Mengyao also had bright eyes, 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, HLJ Tyrannosaurus rex still has one chance to attack, if they fail to score, then Hongcheng will win.

Therefore, this ball is of great significance, allowing Hong Cheng to take the initiative again at this last moment. As long as the lower side defends the ball of HLJ Tyrannosaurus Rex, it will win.As long as the opponent is not allowed to score three points, the game will drag into overtime at most.

He 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."

"Whether you want to shoot yourself or give it to your teammates later, you can decide." He 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 it. Li Changgeng, you and Amu will switch later, and you will guard the opponent's point guard. The point guard, the rest of the position remains the same."

"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, Zhang Long, Qu Yong, Liu Jie and others also stepped forward to cheer Li Changgeng and the others.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

With 11 seconds left, HLJ Tyrannosaurus rex attacked, Hong Cheng and the others looked dignified, and settled their positions, expanding the defense greatly.

The opponent's point guard took possession of the ball, and a figure flashed in front of him. He couldn't help being taken aback, but he was soon relieved. At this time, if Amu was still defending 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?" The opposing point guard had a thought in his mind, and finally decided to see the situation. Anyway, there are still 10 seconds, which is enough.

HLJ Tyrannosaurus rex and the others ran quickly and covered the screen. The opponent's point guard controlled the ball with one hand. He glanced at the timer and saw that there were 6 seconds left. He gestured to his teammates, power forward Hu Tianba understood, Quickly put up the pick-and-roll, the opposing point guard took the opportunity to speed up and go inside.

Hongcheng's defense line was greatly expanded, and it didn't give HLJ Tyrannosaurus any chance to shoot a three-pointer. It would be really risky to shoot reluctantly, so the opposing point guard decided to play it safe and scored two points.

Lu Feng, who was originally defending Hu Tianba, quickly stepped forward to block the path of the opponent's point guard. Li Changgeng also quickly made a detour, caught up with the opponent's point guard, and fell tightly behind him.

Hu Tianba did not cut to the inside after the pick-and-roll, but pulled to the outside, standing one step inside the three-point line.

At this time, the opponent's point guard can choose to play singles. Although Lu Feng is in front and Li Changgeng is behind, he still has many ways to shoot.

However, he hesitated, because compared with himself, it was obvious that Hu Tian had a better chance when he was pulled to the outside.
Seeing that there were 2 seconds left in the time, the opponent's point guard finally made a decision and chose to pass the ball. He remembered the coach's advice, he must be calm. Looking at it calmly, it is obvious that Hu Tianba's position is much better than his. , unguarded, and near the free throw line, that's what Hu Tianba is good at, but Hu Tianba is not good at three-pointers, and he doesn't dare to take the risk of shooting three-pointers, otherwise he may still be a lore.

Hu Tianba received the ball, 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 basket 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 were almost 'twitching'.

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.

Hu Tianba's eyes were dull, and he froze on the spot. He didn't make a shot, and he missed such a crucial shot. He was really damned!
"Hu Tian, ​​don't do this, it's not your fault." The opposing point guard patted Hu Tian and comforted him.

"That's right." Hu Tianba sighed, and said angrily, "Mumby, you should be the one to shoot that ball. If you shoot, you will definitely score."

Hearing this, the opponent's point guard was shocked, and suddenly regretted, yes, I am the core of the team, and I should do the last attack by myself. Passing the ball instead of shooting?
At this moment, the opponent's point guard 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. You should also vote yourself.

it's over!
In the end, Hongcheng defeated HLJ Tyrannosaurus Rex 97:95 and successfully advanced, and then they will face the national finals.

On the court, the HLJ Tyrannosaurus Rex's team had already left, leaving only the Hongcheng team. Everyone ran onto the court, cheering unrestrainedly.

"Haha, we won, we won!"

"Into the finals, 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.

In today's game, Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji were the true heroes. Li Changgeng scored 36 points, plus 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Sima Shenji scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assists, although they didn't really score 40+ each, they all got 30+.For a team, one person scoring 30+ is nothing, but two people scoring 30+ at the same time has a completely different meaning.

It was precisely because of the performance of the two that Hong Cheng successfully defeated the Tyrannosaurus Rex and won the National Challenge.

The stadium fell into jubilation, and in front of the TV, there were more people cheering and shouting, excited for Hongcheng's victory.

Hongcheng, Square.

As before, the huge and excited cheers sounded, shaking the entire square, and even spread throughout the entire school.

In one classroom after another, the students who had gotten used to it immediately understood, and they began to cheer spontaneously without any explanation.

Because they knew that Hongcheng had won!
Hongcheng.

Watching the Tyrannosaurus rex miss the last goal on TV, countless viewers jumped up for joy, and Selena couldn't help but also jumped up. She was very pure, just happy for Hongcheng, just like everyone else on the big screen in the square, with a deep feeling in her heart. A kind of joy from the heart.

A few seconds later, Selena calmed down. On the TV screen, the camera fell on Li Changgeng. The handsome and tall figure wearing Hongcheng's No. 24 jersey was instantly reflected in Selena's eyes. eyes, and sighed silently.

Guangxi, Provincial Sports Center.

Everyone in Hongcheng had already showered and changed their clothes, got on the bus and rushed back to Hongcheng.

This is not going to other provinces, so there is no need to wait until tomorrow. After all, they are still students, so they need to rush back overnight.

....
Hongcheng, on the basketball court.

A team practice match is going on, and Tao Ran has made some adjustments to the lineup for the team practice match. Anyway, the current lineup is completely relying on Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, and the others are further weakened, so he simply put Nong Guang, Aaron, Sima Shenji and Li Changgeng, Sima Shenji separated.Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji are in Group A, while Nong Guang, Aaron, and Sima Shenji are in Group B with Luo Tian and Amu.

In this way, the strength is relatively more balanced.

Originally, Aaron and the others thought the same way, so they worked hard and planned not to lose to Group A this time no matter what, and had to win once.

Unfortunately, when the game started, the result was completely one-sided. In less than 5 minutes of the first quarter, Group A led Group B by as much as 12 points, which made Group B very embarrassing.

"Nong Guang, you gave the ball." Luo Tian shouted at Amu.

I saw Amu facing Li Changgeng's defense from the outside, trying to break through but unable to break through, wanting to make a move but not daring to make a move, hesitating.

In Group B, the center is Nong Guang, the power forward is Aaron, the small forward is Luo Tian, ​​the shooting guard is Amu, and the point guard is Sima Shenji.In Group A, the center forward is Lu Feng, the power forward is Nong Guang, the small forward is Sima Shenji, the shooting guard is Li Changgeng, and the point guard is Long Xiaotian.

At this moment, Amu had no way to deal with Li Changgeng's defense. When he heard Luo Tian's voice, he didn't think much about it, and shook his hand to pass it on.

"Be careful." Aaron reminded, but it was still too late.

I saw Li Changgeng start quickly, with a wave of his hand, steal the ball with a snap, and then quickly start, like a sports car, quickly rushed to the frontcourt, stepped into the free throw line and jumped up, a flying one-handed dunk, He smashed the ball into the basket fiercely.

The basketball hoop in Hongcheng can’t be compared with the Provincial Sports Center, the quality is much worse. After Li Changgeng’s heavy buckle, the whole basketball hoop shook, as if it was about to fall apart, and all the players were frightened. Smack your tongue, trembling with fear.

"I fork, as for so much strength?"

"This guy, doesn't he sincerely want to smash the backboard?"

All the players looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

On the sidelines, Tao Ran couldn't help frowning, looking at the expressionless Li Changgeng who fell to the ground, and said to Mengyao beside him: "There is something wrong with Li Changgeng these two days, Xiaomeng, do you know what happened to him?" Something? It seems to be stimulated by something."

"I don't know either." Mengyao spread her arms, "I asked him, but he didn't say anything."

In fact, Tao Ran noticed something was wrong with Li Changgeng's state since the last time he played against Tyrannosaurus rex, but he didn't pay much attention to it.But two days have passed, and Li Changgeng is still like this, always with a deadpan expression, and his performance in training is very different from before.

Just like the ball just now, this is training, he just needs a fast break layup, there is no need to dunk at all, and there is no need to dunk so hard.In the past, Li Changgeng would not have behaved like this at all, but in the past two days he would dunk every chance he had, very violently.

"He's not playing ball here, he's just venting." Tao Ran shook his head, told everyone to stop, and called Li Changgeng aside, he wanted to have a good talk with Li Changgeng, the finals would be in a few days , Li Changgeng's state is worrying!
Half an hour later, the conversation between Tao Ran and Li Changgeng ended.

The result was not good, Li Changgeng didn't say anything when Tao Ran asked, Tao Ran couldn't find a suitable starting point for enlightenment, and Li Changgeng nodded at everything he asked, obediently agreeing.But whoever was Tao Ran, it was not hard to see that Li Changgeng was just perfunctory and didn't take it to heart at all.

This made Tao Ran very helpless, and he could only hope that Li Changgeng's knot would not affect the game, after all, the finals were coming soon.

At the same time, BJ, Boao Basketball Stadium, a game is going on, and the auditorium is full of people, at least tens of thousands.

This is another match of the National Challenge. The champion of the North District, BJ Green Light, played against the runner-up of the Southern District, Mie Shen.

At this time, the game has reached the final stage of the fourth quarter, and there are more than two minutes left before the end of the game, which is the most intense time.Looking up at the scoreboard, the number above is impressively 96:85, and the Mie Shen team is as many as 11 points behind BJ Greenlight.

On the court, the Mie Shen team was attacking, Liu Qinhui advanced with the ball, quickly crossed the center line, took advantage of the opportunity of his teammates to come up to pick and roll, accelerated, threw off the defender, and made an emergency stop jump shot, scoring a goal for the Mie Shen team, which will also set The difference between the two sides was reduced to 9 points.

Liu Qinhui was very excited when he scored the goal. He swung his fist hard and shouted to his teammates: "Brothers, there are still 9 points left. Work harder and never give up."

"Okay." Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Tianyi, Chiang Kai-shek, and Liu Qinhao agreed in unison, retreated quickly, settled down and waited for the opponent's arrival.
