King of shooting guards

Chapter 196 Win The Game
Capdase, Yin Lunyu, and Kardashian all noticed Li Changgeng's gloomy expression.With a strong team like Katarina as an opponent, doesn't it make you burn?Even a Li Changgeng player like Kazhima still can't make you feel like going all out?Li Changgeng, how deep is your strength?Such shock flashed across the minds of the three of them at the same time.

In the lounge, after drinking the drink in his hand, Li Changgeng leaned on the wardrobe and closed his eyes to rest.The game in the first half flashed in his mind, and Ka Zhizhi's outstanding performance echoed in Li Changgeng's mind at the same time.He is indeed an excellent player and deserves the title of Li Changgeng.Whether it's defense or offense, whether it's going it alone or organizing a team's offense, Kazhima is undoubtedly the top.However, there always seemed to be some gaps compared to Li Changgeng's expectations.

Today's Li Changgeng seems to be particularly bloodthirsty and aggressive, and he took the initiative to provoke a solo fight with Ka Zhizhi several times.But Kazhizhi chose to cooperate with the team's offense after Katerina's timeout.The only few shots he made were from excellent positions.From his point of view, there is nothing wrong with such an approach. If it weren't for several mistakes made by his teammates, Los Angeles' five-point advantage would have been achieved by five points.

The game was exciting, everyone performed well, Los Angeles took the lead, but Li Changgeng couldn't get excited.Is Li Changgeng's wish too much for a hearty warm-up before encountering the Raptors?
The break passed quickly and the second half began.

Offense, continuous attack; defense, try our best to defend.There is no need for Li Changgeng to tell everyone to do this naturally.Katerina changed her strategy several times, and Los Angeles centered on Li Changgeng, and there was no slack in tit-for-tat.With the experience of defeating Shanghai and Thelock, everyone has the confidence to win against Katerina.You must know that in terms of the overall strength of the team, Fluoying and Selock are not inferior to their opponents in the slightest.

With the support of strong confidence, everyone's movements became more and more flexible, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.Li Changgeng, who was defending Kazhizhi, figured out his actions little by little, and gradually began to curb Kazhizhi's power after a few effective steals.The race has turned to Los Angeles.

Katerina paused twice, but the situation remained unchanged.

In the 10th minute of the second half, Li Changgeng replaced Paul, who had been actively fighting inside and controlling most of Los Angeles' rebounds.This guy is only focused on grabbing the ball desperately, if he is not replaced, Li Changgeng doubts whether he will still have the energy for the next game.On the bench, with Erlang's legs up and eyes closed, Harris kicked Li Changgeng to the inside to replace Paul's previous task.

With the addition of Harris, the Los Angeles team's offense has become even more powerful. Although the inside defense once gave the opponent a second chance, it quickly made up for it-the proud Harris will never allow himself to perform worse than Paul.

Ten and six minutes into the second half.The 6-point lead of 74:86 did not guarantee an easy victory for Los Angeles.

Ka Zhizhi will never treat the team's failure in this way.The so-called ace player is to turn the tide at a critical time.Li Changgeng's players must be able to do what no one else can, and do what others can't imagine.

Kazhima, what will you do?

A figure rushed over with the ball——Ka Zhima!Swaying left and right, his feet were erratic, and he had already surpassed him in a daze.The feet turned suddenly, and the right hand rested on the ground to quickly shift the center of gravity. Li Changgeng quickly caught up.

He jumped up and got into shooting position.Is it that simple?Li Changgeng, who was chasing closely behind him, followed in a blink of an eye. He had no chance of passing the ball in this position. With certainty in his judgment, Li Changgeng jumped to a higher position immediately, and covered the basketball in his hand with his left hand.

"Whoosh!" The basketball was shot, "Snap!" With a clear slap, the basketball was blocked by Li Changgeng from behind.The basketball bounced after hitting the ground, and Chelsea, who followed behind, grabbed the basketball.

Dodging Leonard's press, Chelsea rushed to the inside with the ball.Here, Ka Zhizhi reached out to Chelsea for the ball after landing his feet on the ground. "Crack!" The basketball was passed into his hands again.Li Changgeng, whose feet landed on the ground, was eager to block it again. A figure suddenly appeared in front of him—Chelsea!

Facing the front, Hariska Sesame leaped high, raised his hand, and shot the basket.Harris' hand covered the small two.The basketball drew a high arc and fell into the basket with a sound of "shua!"After landing on the ground, Ka Zhizhi backed up a few steps until she leaned on Li Changgeng before she stabilized her center of gravity—backward throw?
Good boy, at this critical moment, the two technologies can be fused together.

Look up at the scoreboard: the score is 76:86, and there are three minutes and ten seconds left.At this time, delaying the time can win safely.But this is not Li Changgeng's choice.

attack!Go on the offensive!
After yelling orders, the Los Angeles team continued to bet on the whole team.Leonard broke through with the ball, received his pass, and Li Changgeng made a pass to Mozart under the basket. Mozart made a strong attack under the basket, "Shua!" The sound of entering the basket sounded again.

Score.

L.A.'s offense is pervasive.There has never been such a tacit understanding at this moment, and never such a smooth flow at this moment. The current Los Angeles team is as strong as it was before the sophomore year.

Time is passing, and the two teams continue to fight with all their strength.

Faced with Li Changgeng, Ka Zhima took off blatantly, another throwback?It is impossible for you to succeed repeatedly.Jumping higher, Li Changgeng blocked his shot.

The basketball bounced high on the hit.After landing on both feet, looking up at the hit basketball and chasing after him, Li Changgeng jumped up again, "Crack!" and confiscated the ball before the other pair of hands caught him.Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, Li Changgeng's body fell. When he hit the ball, Li Changgeng looked around and listened to all directions, looking for the position of his teammates so that he could pass the ball out as soon as his feet hit the ground for him to score.

"Ah!" A horrified cry sounded.There was a person falling on the ground under his feet - it was Ka Zhima.The place where Li Changgeng's right foot landed was his arm.The speed of the fall plus Li Changgeng's weight, this kick...

Can't.At the critical moment, Li Changgeng kicked out his right foot, narrowly avoiding the arm under his foot. "Ah!" There was a piercing pain in the condyle of the left foot, and the whole body threw itself on the ground.

basketball!The basketball in his hand must be passed out, and the moment he fell to the ground, the basketball was passed to Harris's position that he had just found.

"Touch!" The body hit the ground heavily, "Flute!" The referee's whistle came from the ear.

The team members crowded around one by one nervously. "Are you okay, Li Changgeng?"

Enduring the excruciating pain in his condyle, Li Changgeng raised his head and asked, "Did that ball go in just now?" Everyone nodded.He put his hand on Captain Beethoven's shoulder, and Li Changgeng was helped up.Tried the condition of my right foot, I couldn't help moaning, it hurt so much.

After being helped to the rest area, the teaching assistant immediately ran over with the medicine box.Paul stretched out his hand to take off Li Changgeng's shoes, but Li Changgeng stopped him: "You play instead of Li Changgeng!" He raised his head and ordered to the players around him: "The game is still going on, go back to the court. Li Changgeng Your feet are fine!"

Seeing that Li Changgeng was fine, everyone regained their composure.Under the leadership of captain Beethoven, he returned to the court, and Harris was the last one to walk.

"Harris!" Li Changgeng called.

Harris stopped and looked back at Li Changgeng.

"please!"

Without saying a word, Harris nodded heavily and walked back into the court.With one minute and 20 seconds left, the score was 76:88.Los Angeles led by sixteen points.

The rest of the time, the Los Angeles team slowed down the tempo to delay the time, and the ball was handed over to Harris to control.Katerina intends to use foul tactics, and Harris' performance of repeated free throws shattered Katerina's last chance.

"Flute!" The whistle sounded.The final score was fixed at 86:91.Los Angeles advanced to the final round.

Taking off his shoes, a pair of jade hands gently removed Li Changgeng's socks. "It's swollen!" With a scream, the assistant teacher with a pale face covered her jade lips lightly.

This is already in the hotel room, and there are only Li Changgeng and the teaching assistant in the room, no matter how loud their voices are, no one else will hear them.

After being replaced on the court, Li Changgeng has been watching the game from the sidelines with a calm expression.After the game, they also rushed to the court to revel with everyone.Hold Ka Zhizhi's hand, say goodbye solemnly, and make an appointment to see you next year.After waving goodbye to the audience, he stepped on the car back to the hotel with ease.

The perfect performance clearly told the teammates: Li Changgeng is very good, and he was not injured at all in the fall just now.Everyone was relieved and returned to their respective rooms happily one by one.

The performance is undoubtedly perfect, but there is one person who cannot be fooled - the teaching assistant.From the moment Li Changgeng left the stage, her eyes were fixed on Li Changgeng.Refusing her inspection and walking back and forth in front of her calmly did not clear her doubts.She stared at Li Changgeng, who was talking and laughing happily, and felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Back in the room, her worried expression and sad and silent eyes quickly made Li Changgeng raise his hands in surrender, obediently took off his shoes, and let her check them.

The result was a large swelling of the condyle of the foot under the sock.

The assistant's eye circles immediately turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes: "From then until now, why hasn't Li Changgeng been allowed to check? Why didn't he say anything? Why did he endure it?"

"Li Changgeng..." He opened his mouth to speak, but Li Changgeng couldn't say a word in the face of her tears.

Crystal tears rolled down from the eyes, the teaching assistant didn't care to wipe the tears off his face, he took out the medicine box in a hurry and opened it.An unstable medicine box in his hand fell off the bed and fell to the ground.In a hurry, the teaching assistant reached out to pick up the medicine box but put it down again, and found "Yunnan Baiyao Aerosol" and gauze from the scattered medicines.He lifted up Li Changgeng's trouser legs, gently wiped off the sweat on the condyles of his feet, and carefully touched the medicine.After doing all this, she leaned against the bed feebly without saying a word.The mess of medicines under his feet was not cleaned up.

Looking at her dully, Li Changgeng's voice was dry for a while, his lips opened and closed several times but he didn't know what to say.Facing the pear-blossoming and rainy beauty in front of her, any excuses are superfluous.Unconsciously, he stretched out his right hand, caressed her face gently in a trance, and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

Raising her head and looking up at Li Changgeng, her body trembled slightly.

The four eyes met, as if two magnets were attracted to each other, the eyes of the two could no longer move away.In the quiet room, a gentle atmosphere permeated quietly.Gently holding her jade hand, the two looked at each other like this.

Any explanation is superfluous, and any words are unnecessary at this time.Looking at each other, she could see the guilt in Li Changgeng's heart, and Li Changgeng could understand her worry.

The silence speaks!
The sound of "Ding Lingling..." broke the silence in the room.Their faces turned red at the same time, and they let go of their clenched hands at the same time.

What a bastard, that guy is calling at this time.

The assistant coach picked up the phone: "Hello... oh... I see... Got it..." put down the phone, "Brother Li Changgeng called just now, and the semifinal over there is over. The Raptors won!"

Raptors?Standing up from the bed at once, the final opponent is indeed the Raptors!With an excited expression, Li Changgeng clenched his fists: Finally, I have a chance to compete with the Raptors. Li Changgeng has finally waited for this opportunity!

The atmosphere seemed strange, the teaching assistant's beautiful eyes were staring at Li Changgeng.Li Changgeng sat down again with his old face flushed slightly.The teaching assistant found a bandage from the messy medicines on the ground, and lifted Li Changgeng's right foot to bandage it.

"I heard from my brother that there was a [-]-point difference between the two teams in the final score. The North Carolina team lost control of the game not long after the game started!" The assistant coach told Li Changgeng while gently bandaging him.

More than 30 points?The opponent is one of the top four teams, and the Raptors were able to achieve an absolute advantage of more than 30 points!The North Carolina team that beat Los Angeles lost the game so easily.Is this the Raptors?What a terrifying strength!

"The final is tomorrow...you...are you going to play tomorrow?" The assistant coach finally asked after hesitating for a long time.

The room fell silent again.After a long time, finally...

"Yeah!" With a soft sound, the room returned to silence.

She lowered her head as if concentrating on the work in hand, Li Changgeng couldn't see her face.Her hands were steady, but her shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly.

Li Changgeng can have a lot of reasons to play, Li Changgeng can tell her that Li Changgeng's injury is not a problem, Li Changgeng can tell her that this is the opportunity that Li Changgeng has been waiting for for four years...but all of them are superfluous.With the holding hands just now, these reasons are no longer reasons.

She understands all this.

Li Changgeng was speechless, she remained silent.

"Okay, stand up and have a try!" She raised her head and said calmly to Li Changgeng.

Standing up and walking a few steps casually, and trying to jump a few times, Li Changgeng's face was full of smiles: "Very good, I don't feel any pain at all! And it seems that I can jump higher when I take off!"

"That's it!" She also had a smile on her face, "This girl's craftsmanship is not bad!"

The smile came so suddenly, but neither of the two seemed to realize it.In a blink of an eye, the dull atmosphere just now seemed to disappear without a trace.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a knock on the door.Li Changgeng put down his trouser legs.

Open the door, Harris appeared outside the door.

"The game over there has a result. The Raptors won by more than 30 points!" Harris still had a cool expression on his face, and he couldn't see how the result affected him at all.

Li Changgeng nodded and said, "Li Changgeng already knew about it just now."

"Are your feet okay?" With Harris' cold voice, the doors of each room opened and several heads poked out at the same time.Do these guys have such good ears?
Jumped a few times: "Does Li Changgeng seem to be busy?" Turning his head to those heads that were about to shrink back, "Don't shrink back, you have a meeting tonight. After dinner, gather in Li Changgeng's room!"

"Oh!" "Understood!" The answer came from every room.

In the room, Li Changgeng opened the cabinet to find his luggage.He took out one of the video tapes and stared at him in silence.

The teaching assistant asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Video, tape of the Raptors game."

"Do you want to show it to everyone?"

After a moment of silence, he sighed weakly: "Li Changgeng is hesitating!" The Raptor is really strong.Their strength can not be seen through an NCAA-level game.The powerful North Carolina lost to them by [-] points. The Raptors undoubtedly performed very strong, but their strength is not just that.

Only a strong enough opponent can bring out the strongest strength of the Raptors.In the same NCAA game, no matter how good the Raptors perform, it is not a performance of their full strength.

So Li Changgeng never went to watch the Raptors game.This tape is enough to overthrow the strength they have shown in all previous games.And Li Changgeng believes that the current Raptors must be stronger than what they have shown.

Can such a Raptors, such an opponent, be accepted by the Los Angeles players?Will they be intimidated by it?The panic performance of the players after the opening ceremony of the competition is still vivid in my mind.

However, if they are not mentally prepared now, wouldn't they be even more panicked when the Raptors' true strength is revealed tomorrow?
But can a day really bring them back to their normal state of mind?If not, wouldn't it be that Los Angeles lost before the game even started.

hateful.What a headache.Clutching his head with both hands, Li Changgeng was very annoyed.

A jade hand gently passed the video tape in front of Li Changgeng, and the assistant's gentle voice sounded: "Li Changgeng knows what you are worried about, please show it to everyone. If you lose your fighting spirit here, you will not participate in the finals." It is necessary. After all, the game is not yours alone, please trust everyone!"

He raised his head and looked up at her, with a gentle smile on his beautiful face, and a gleam in his eyes—that was encouragement!
Yes, trust your teammates!Why did Li Changgeng, who has always said this sentence, forget it at this time. The NCAA has hit the present, and the Los Angeles teammates are no longer the rookies who stepped into the NCAA threshold for the first time.

Los Angeles is also a strong team!

After dinner.

Raptors.

A Raptors player rushed into Guo Jinyi's room excitedly, and said excitedly, "Coach, I got the video of today's game in Los Angeles."

"Have everyone gathered in the conference room?"

"Yes, everyone is here!"

"Take the videotape and let's go together!"

Los Angeles team.

The floor and the bed were full of players.Although the room is not small, it is still a bit crowded with more than a dozen big men pouring in at the same time.The team members in groups of three or five were chatting happily.

"Haha, Los Angeles is considered to have reached the final. No matter what the result of tomorrow's final is, I am already very satisfied!"

"That's right, even if they lose the game, Los Angeles is the runner-up. I still can't believe it!" Two first-year team members whispered.

"Bump! Bump!" The two of them received two violent thumps on their heads immediately, and Mozart's terrifying figure appeared in front of them: "Idiot, does runner-up satisfy you mentally? The goal of Los Angeles is the championship."

"But, tomorrow's opponent is the Raptors..."

"Bastard!" Paul's head suddenly appeared in front of Chu Cheng, and he said with high spirits, "What about the Raptors? Tomorrow Los Angeles will beat them!"

The voices of Mozart and Paul attracted everyone's attention.Beethoven and Leonard smiled and watched from the sidelines, and it was rare that they didn't blame them for "bullying" their juniors.Harris sat with his head at the end without raising his head, and his mind seemed to be attracted by the pendant in his hand.

It's almost time.Li Changgeng stood up, and the room suddenly became quiet.Under the attention of everyone, Li Changgeng took out the video tape and put it into the VCR.Do you want to open it?
This coach has a prologue.

"Tomorrow is the final. This will be the most important game since Los Angeles participated in the NCAA. Tomorrow's opponent will also be the strongest opponent Los Angeles has encountered since participating in the NCAA-because they are the Raptors. King Raptors, Lee Chang Geng thinks everyone is familiar with this title. It has been the top team in the NCAA basketball world for ten years!
"The Raptors are strong, how strong are they? Everyone probably saw it in the opening ceremony. But what I want to tell you is that the Raptors are stronger than what you see, much stronger.

"What I'm going to show you is the tape of the Raptors game. This game is not any game in the NCAA league. Their opponent is a professional team. The strength of the Raptors in this game far exceeds Your imagination is enough to blow the confidence of each of you. Those who are not confident in themselves can leave this room. This is not alarmist talk, let alone radical. Those who leave the room should not feel ashamed, because it was the first time to watch During the recording, Li Changgeng also couldn't regain his confidence for three days."

A heavy opening speech made the whole team dignified all of a sudden.There was a serious atmosphere in the room.

"The broadcast has started, please watch carefully!" Press the play button and the video will officially start.

Raptors at the same time.

Evans' opening statement.

"Tomorrow is the final of the NCAA league. The Los Angeles team has finally reached the final. The expectations of Los Angeles in the past few months have finally not failed. NCAA champion Li Changgeng finally did not disappoint Los Angeles.

"For the past two months, Los Angeles has practiced more rigorously than in the past few years for tomorrow's game. Everything will be decided tomorrow. I don't think everyone needs Li Changgeng to mobilize."

The members of the Raptors all had firm expressions, and the room was serious.
