Chapter 114 Journey to America (8)
The difference is 9 points!
The ball came to the frontcourt, Gatlin passed it to Nick, Nick squeezed two steps to the basket, and then hit the board.
The ball goes in.
Li Changgeng took the ball, accelerated before Capdase and Gatlin came up to double-team, passed between them, and hit a jumper again.
For 3 minutes in a row, Li Changgeng and Nick started a battle of points. The two were almost irresistible in their respective positions and scored consecutively.
However, Nick is not good at three-pointers, so he is at a disadvantage in this regard.
Although Nick can also score, his scoring efficiency is still a bit worse than Li Changgeng's shooting three-pointers when he seizes the opportunity.
"Shh!"
It was another three-point shot, and Li Changgeng scored 19 points. The score became 69:74, and the White team was only 5 points behind.
On the other side, Sima Shenji broke out completely, turning into a score-scoring machine, scoring points crazily.
A breakthrough feint, then dribbled the ball, took a step back and made a three-point shot, and the basketball went straight into the net; after the breakthrough, he went inside, pulled the bar forward, and scored 21; One-stop dunks from the audience
In a few minutes, Sima Shenji crazily scored 14 points, defeated the opponent's entire team by himself, and led the team to take the lead.
And Sima Shenji's personal score also reached 31 points, the highest in the game, and the white team's substitutes on the sidelines had already started shouting "mvp".
On the edge of the court, everyone suddenly discovered that the best performers in the 17-year-old group and the 18-year-old group were all Chinese. Sima Shenji and Li Changgeng were both in different arenas. But he also handed over an eye-catching answer sheet.
Li Changgeng scored 19 points in a single quarter, overwhelming everyone. Sima Shenji scored 14 points in a single quarter, and his personal total score was 31 points, which was also the highest in the 18-year-old age group. The two Chinese people showed dazzling brilliance in this quarter. Its brilliance attracted the attention of the two of them, overshadowing all other students.
"Superstar!!!"
At this moment, such a word popped out of everyone's mind.
For the 17-year-old age group, as the point difference gradually narrowed, the time was also running out rapidly, and there was only more than one minute left in the fourth quarter.
After more than a minute, the difference of 5 points seems not small, but it is not too big either. Both sides have opportunities.
What's more, the ball is on the white team's side.
Li Zheng advanced with the ball and was pressed by the red pair. However, his ball control skills are still very good. He took the ball across the half court steadily, turned his body sideways, protected the ball with one hand, and dribbled with the other. , and his eyes observed the situation on the field, specifically, to observe Li Changgeng's position.
With just over a minute left, there is no doubt that it is for Li Changgeng to fight. Li Changgeng is now the absolute core of the White team.
The red team also knew that Li Changgeng would definitely come to play at this time, so the defense against Li Changgeng was even tighter, trying to cut off his receiving route and not let him get the ball.
However, Capdase's speed couldn't be compared with Li Changgeng's, and he was easily thrown off by Li Changgeng. Li Changgeng caught the basketball again and pulled it up directly from outside the three-point line.
"boom!"
Unfortunately, the goal was missed, the basketball hit the rim and jumped up, Nick stepped into the inside line, overwhelmed Maslow, and got the rebound.
There is only 1 minute left in the time, and the goal was missed at the critical moment, Li Changgeng's face can't help but sink, he underestimated Capdase too much, he didn't expect that Capdase, who was blown up by him before, broke out at this time Unprecedented strength, he touched the basketball at the moment of his shot.
"No!" The players of the white team on the court couldn't help being stunned.
"It's a pity." The white team's substitutes on the sidelines, as well as Griffin, Zhang Weiping, Jordan, Garnett, etc. could not help but sigh.
Such a crucial goal was missed.
If the goal is scored, the point difference will be reduced to 2 points, and there is 1 minute left in the game, which is completely enough for the white team to overtake the score.But the goal was missed, wasting an offensive opportunity, and the point difference was still 5 points. It was a bit difficult for the white team to win the game.
"Go!" Nick yelled, passed the ball to Gatlin, and ran upfield.
Everyone on the white team also quickly returned to defense, set up a good position, found their own people, and waited for it. The ball must be defended.
Gatlin tried twice, but couldn't break through Li Zheng. Seeing Nick running out to get the ball, he passed the ball over.
Nick took the ball, took a step in, and then turned around abruptly. He actually learned Nowitzki's signature move, the golden rooster freestanding shot.
This kind of shot is difficult to defend, especially for tall players. Although Subaru tried his best to jump up, he still couldn't reach it.
Seeing the basketball fly across an arc towards the hoop, everyone's hearts were raised.
"This must be entered, we will win if we enter!" This is the voice of the red team players.
"You must not enter, you must not enter!" This is the shout of the white team players.
Maybe God prefers the white team. The ball crossed an arc, bounced on the rim, missed, and flew out again.
"rebound!"
"Grab the basketball!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
In fact, no one needs to be reminded at this time, but everyone who has a suitable position has already jumped up vigorously.
This rebound is too critical. There are 52 seconds left in the clock and the point difference is 5 points. If the white team can get the rebound and score a counterattack, then they still have a chance to win.If the red team gets the rebound, even if they don't score, they will lose 24 seconds, making things even more difficult for the white team.
Maslow and Pu Wuqian, the two center forwards jumped up vigorously, and Nick even rushed to the inside line, but he felt a figure flash by as soon as he moved, and couldn't help being startled, someone was faster than him.
"Drink!" Li Changgeng rushed into the inside line as fast as he could, and jumped up.
He had used all his strength for this jump, and his body soared like a roc. Although he was only 1.8 meters tall, his arms were raised higher than the two center forwards. He paused in the air, as if suddenly stopped General, then snapped and grabbed the basketball.
"my god!"
The people on the sidelines were stunned. Li Changgeng was only 1.8 meters tall. How could he jump so high? At least one meter taller!
Everyone was still a little stunned. Li Changgeng had already landed on the ground, his body didn't stop at all, he slapped the ball forward, and quickly rushed forward.
"Stop him!" Nick yelled, as he was inside, it was too late to keep up with Li Changgeng.
"Quick foul!" On the sidelines, the coach of the red team yelled loudly, reminding Gatlin on the outside line that even if the ball is a foul, he must be stopped. The foul will only let Li Changgeng go to the free throw line. He hit the whole court, maybe it was a three-pointer.
Gatlin also reacted, and even stretched out his hand to pull Li Changgeng, but Li Changgeng's current ball control skills are so mysterious, he directly dribbled the ball behind his back, jumped to the side, dodged Gatlin's salty hands, and rode absolutely Dust, crossed the center line in a blink of an eye.
All eyes were on Li Changgeng, he braked, stopped outside the three-point line, pulled up, and shot.
"Will you enter?" Everyone on the sidelines looked eagerly.
"Rebound!" Nick shouted, reminding Gatlin to catch up quickly. Although there is no way to interfere with Li Changgeng, he still has to get in position and prepare to grab a rebound.
It's a pity that Nick's words turned into nonsense as soon as he uttered them. The basketball crossed an arc and simply got into the net with a "swish".
The goal was scored with 47 seconds left and the score was 2 points behind.
The coach of the red team called a timeout, arranged some tactics, and told his players that the attack must be successful.
The white team has nothing to arrange here, there are 47 seconds left, and the defense is desperate.
"The last 47 seconds."
"Look at these last two balls."
Everyone's hearts were raised, and they looked at the court nervously, without blinking.
The red team serves, and they still have a 2-point advantage, so this attack is not in a hurry, and they will not attack until the end of 24 seconds.
The white team is on the alert. The red team has at least 23 seconds left after this attack. They still have another chance to attack. If the red team's ball is blocked, there is still a possibility of a three-point lore.So they won't foul, not yet.
"Clap clap."
The stadium was silent, only the sound of the basketball hitting the ground, time passed quickly, and 24 seconds quickly passed by 16 seconds.
At this time, Gatlin finally moved, and other players on the red team also began to move. Nick pulled to the outside, and others picked and rolled for him, from one side to the other. Nick received the basketball with 4 seconds left in the clock. , It is directly a fadeaway jumper.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the rim and bounced out, Maslow let out a roar, knocked Pu Wuqian away, and hugged the basketball tightly in his arms.
"beep!"
Maslow got the rebound, and Griffin also called a timeout decisively. There were 29 seconds left in the time, so he needed to take a timeout and arrange how to play the ball.
When the players came off the court, Griffin took the tactical board and began to make serious arrangements, "There are 29 seconds left, we are two points behind, my request is to keep two points and fight for three. First of all, we must ensure that we get two points, and try to win if possible." Take a three-pointer. The others will come and let Li Changgeng come."
"Li Changgeng, the ball is up to you." Griffin looked at Li Changgeng.
Although this was just a challenge match, it was played so fiercely that at this point, Griffin was completely serious.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to invest." Li Changgeng nodded heavily.
On the red team side, the coach also made some arrangements, switching Gatlin to defend Li Changgeng, and told him to guard against Li Changgeng's three-pointer, even if Li Changgeng scored two points, he couldn't let him Shoot threes.
There is no doubt that the arrangement of the red team coach is absolutely correct. Double-teaming cannot be used at this time, because you dare not miss anyone, and anyone who misses may give you a fatal blow.In the case of only one defense and one defense, it is the best arrangement for the fastest Gatling to defend Li Changgeng.
In addition, with 29 seconds left in the clock, even if Li Changgeng made a two-pointer to tie the score, the red team still had another chance to attack. With the initiative in hand, they had a chance to kill the opponent.
"Work hard, just play like this, and defend the ball." The coach of the red team shook his fist, "I believe we will win."
"Yes." Several players agreed in unison, full of momentum.
It's time for the bayonet to see the red, life and death. This is not the last goal, but it is a crucial one, and there is no room for loss.The timeout ended and everyone stepped onto the field.
The White team served, and this time Li Changgeng directly caught the ball from the baseline and advanced with the ball himself.Gatlin stared closely at Li Changgeng, and didn't dare to go up to take the ball rashly. He knew Li Changgeng's ball-handling skills.
"Defence." The coach of the red team and the substitute players yelled.
On the White team's side, everyone was quiet, and they all looked at Li Changgeng nervously. This is a crucial goal, which is related to the outcome.
After halftime, Li Changgeng's dribbling speed suddenly accelerated. Now they are still behind and cannot waste time like the red team. They must consider what will happen if the ball cannot be scored, and they must leave enough room for foul tactics in case of a situation. time, so we must attack immediately.
A continuous cross step, and then the ball was changed to the left hand. Li Changgeng leaned forward and accelerated to the left to break through at a very fast speed.
"Huh?" Gatlin frowned, moved to the right, and got stuck, while still tightly sticking to Li Changgeng's body.
Seeing Gatlin like this, Li Changgeng couldn't help frowning. He didn't really want to rush, but just wanted Gatlin to retreat so that he could shoot a three-pointer from a distance.But with Gatlin getting so close, he made it clear that he would rather let him break through than shoot a three-pointer, so Li Changgeng's idea naturally fell through.
"Hmph." Li Changgeng snorted coldly, stepped back, and retreated to a place more than one meter away from the three-point line.
Seeing Li Changgeng like this, Gatling secretly said "Sure enough", he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, allowing Li Changgeng to retreat, proving that his defense was still effective.
But at this moment, Li Changgeng took another half step back, and then jumped up two meters away from the three-point line under Gatlin's dumbfounded eyes.
"You don't even dare to vote for this, do you?" Seeing Li Changgeng jumping up, the members of the red team couldn't help being stunned.
On the white team's side, Griffin frowned. Li Changgeng could have broken through just now, scored a two-pointer, and then defended a goal to fight for overtime. Shoot threes?
This can indeed avoid the defenders, but it is too far away, can you enter?
Kobe's eyes lit up. He was a confident and invincible figure back then, but he felt kind and not disgusted with this kind of bold approach of a master of arts.
"Can this goal be scored?" Jordan stared at the basketball without blinking.
"This is also voted" reporter Garnett opened his mouth.
The photographer Marco was shocked, staring at the camera, pressing the shutter, and took a continuous shot to capture the ball.
Under the gaze of everyone, the basketball crossed an arc, and with a bang, it made a hollow hit!
"Roar"
In an instant, everyone in the white team went crazy, bursting into great jubilation.
