Chapter 214【We are losers? ([-])]

[Chapter [-] Are we losers? (３)】

"Substitution! The Chinese team has finally changed! Director Xu Xuezhi replaced No. [-] Du Feng with No. [-] Zhu Fangyu. At this time, making such an adjustment, it seems that the purpose of the Chinese team is to rely on three-pointers to catch up. The score is close, Zhu Fangyu is the three-point champion in the CBA league, and his three-point shots are still very powerful!"

On the court, Lithuania's [-]-year-old captain Mindagas once again raised his hand and shot the ball...

Swish!
The originally pleasant sound of the friction between the basketball and the net sounded so harsh to the ears of all Chinese fans. After Lithuania scored the ball, the score on the field had become [-]:[-]. The Chinese team was actually Already behind by as many as seven points!
"Lithuania - must win!"

"Lithuania - must win!"

The phalanx consisting of only a few thousand Lithuanian fans erupted into loud cheers, loud as a beast, and seemed to swallow the Chinese men's basketball team.

"Mindargas! Keep an eye on that No. [-], watch out for his three-pointers!"

Tautas once again stood on the sidelines of the court. At this point in the game, his team had already taken a clear advantage. In the remaining three minutes or so, the initiative must be firmly in his hands , at this time, there is nothing wrong with it.What's more, the Chinese team still has a time-out opportunity to make final adjustments. They are far from the point where they have to give up the game.

The head coach who led the Chinese team to this point, his coaching ability is really good!

Mindagas glanced at his head coach and nodded seriously.

There is no need for my head coach to say anything more. This No. [-] of the Chinese team is a three-point shooter with good physical fitness that they have analyzed before the game. He can be regarded as the number one long-range shooter in the Chinese team. If you play at this time, you will naturally have to take a long shot.

Du Feng quickly walked to the side of the field and hugged Zhu Fangyu, as if he knew that he would never have the chance to play for the country in this game: "Little Zhu, I will leave it to you!"

Zhu Fangyu nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Du!"

Two people, one up and one down, staggered past.

"Captain, Arab League, if possible, help me cover while ensuring rebounds!" Zhu Fangyu is not afraid of exposing the Chinese team's tactics. Anyway, it is impossible for the opponent not to know his mission at this time. .

"Hahaha, don't worry!"

"Don't worry, kid!"

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian readily agreed.

[-] points!

With such a point difference, even if the opponent doesn't score a single goal, they have to make at least two three-pointers to get close to the score. This job, really only Zhu Fangyu can do it.

Wang Zhen took Song Feng's serve, and the two of them quickly advanced toward the frontcourt: "Everyone, pay attention to your movement and try to create a gap for Xiao Zhu!"

While Lithuania's defense is getting tighter, there is also a tendency to expand the scope. This situation falls into Wang Zhen's eyes. He doesn't think it is the intentional arrangement of the opponent's coach, and he is more inclined to believe that it is The Lithuanian players were overly nervous as a result.

The scope of defense is larger, so the strength of defense is relatively small, and the opportunities for the Chinese team must be more.

After Zhu Fangyu interspersed from left to right, he came out of the three-point line on the right. However, although Wang Zhen chose to pass the ball, he did not pass the ball to him, but directly stuffed the basketball to the basket. Yao Ming, Yao Ming turned around and sent the basketball into the basket with a half-hook.

[-]:[-], the Chinese team is still [-] points behind.

Zhou Chu glanced at Xu Xuezhi beside him, and couldn't help laughing: "Wang Zhen is really getting smarter and smarter!"

Xu Xuezhi also nodded with a smile: "It's not true. Next time, I wonder if this kid will pass the ball to Xiao Zhu!"

"Hahaha………………"

The two met and laughed.

Although Wang Zhen's pass just went against the three-pointer tactic he had arranged, it was an absolutely correct choice. Lithuania obviously realized Zhu Fangyu's mission, and let their captain Mindagas personally defend it. , but at this time, their defensive flaws under the basket were exposed, and then Yao Ming completed the final fatal blow.

Clever... the right choice!
Next, if Lithuania's defense is not adjusted immediately, then the Chinese team will still get a chance, right?
After losing the ball, the Lithuanian men's basketball team did not hesitate and immediately went on the offensive again. Maybe they didn't realize that their defense had a loophole, relying on Christophe and Borias , It is really difficult to defend Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian under the basket!

Facing the defense of the Chinese team, the offense of the Lithuanian men's basketball team was still sharp. After passing, pulling, and running, No. [-] Albadas threw off Song Feng who was defending him, and decisively cut into the inside.

Gudelias passed the ball over Wang Zhen's head and sent it in just right, giving his partner a very good chance to score.

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of Albadas' feet touching the floor was like thunder, and he looked quite imposing. He rushed to the basket of the Chinese team very quickly, and jumped into the air with his right hand. Holding the basketball high, he rushed towards the basket of the Chinese team.

It seems that only the basket is left in his eyes, and he has forgotten that the basket of the Chinese team is always guarded by two tall men who are taller than his teammates!
"Go to hell!"

With a thunder-like roar, the explosive Yi Jianlian put aside Borias, who was defending him, and appeared beside Albadas. At the same time, his palm was also aimed at Albadas The basketball flashed past.

"Snapped!"

The basketball was sent flying by Yi Jianlian, and at the same time his body hit Albadas's body, knocking the opponent who was in mid-air into the air.

"beep--"

"Gudong!"

The referee's whistle blew, but it indicated that the ball was just a foul ball, but Albadas, who wanted to dunk and was eager to make a contribution, fell headlong and hard on the floor.

"it is good!"

"A Lian, you did a great job!"

"........."

Yi Jianlian stood firmly on the floor, listened to the cheers of the audience, glanced contemptuously at Albadas who fell on the ground, turned his head to look at Yao Ming who came to celebrate with him: "This kid is really a fool Hey, he thought anyone could dunk the basket of our Chinese team! Hahaha!"

"Hey hey hey..." Yao Ming smiled, then raised his right arm: "Good job! Very good!"

Yi Jianlian was also grinning, and his arms and palms made solid contact with Yao Ming's right palm, making a crisp sound of "snap".

Su Qun shouted excitedly: "Yi Jianlian's block can be regarded as another reminder to the Lithuanians that the Chinese team's basket is a real penalty area for them! As long as we continue to play like this, we can win this game." win!"

Xu Jicheng nodded at the side, with a smile on his face: "Yes! Although we are still [-] points behind, but look at the performance of our players on the court, they have not lost their fighting spirit, let alone their desire for victory. Longing, the outcome of this game is still hard to predict. This kind of perseverance is relatively rare in the national team in the past! Director Xu... is really a great head coach!"

After saying these words, Xu Jicheng and Su Qun smiled at each other.

Is it rare! ?

I'm afraid I've never seen it before. Except for Hu Weidong's national team that year, which was not bad, the overall strength of the other generations of Chinese men's basketball team is not at all compared to the current national team led by Xu Xuezhi. In terms of grades, even the desire for victory is far inferior to the Chinese men's basketball team in front of them.

"Press! All press!"

Wang Zhen gave tactical instructions to his teammates again, and immediately the Chinese team members implemented his instructions. Except for Yao Ming who was still guarding the basket of the Chinese team, everyone else started to move.

Yi Jianlian ran to the edge of the court, stretched out his slender arms and began to dance wildly, controlling the serving route of Lithuanian No. [-] Borias, while Wang Zhen, Song Feng, and Zhu Fangyu each watched their opponents closely , ready to steal at any time.

"The Chinese team's defense is very active..."

Borias first made a fake pass to the center, and then violently pushed the basketball toward the left baseline.

At the moment when the basketball flew into the court, there was no one near the bottom line on the left side of the Chinese team, but when the basketball was about to fly, Lithuania's No. [-] Gudelias had already run to this position.

"Snapped!"

Wang Zhen's palm, as if cutting through the void, suddenly appeared on the flight path of the basketball, and then moved the basketball toward his arms, firmly controlling the ball in his hands.

Gudelias, who had a trace of joy on his face, instantly turned into astonishment.

This number [-]......

"Wang Zhen made a steal...the Chinese team started to counterattack!" Su Qun stood up from his chair.

The counterattack of the Chinese team is so fast that it makes people's scalp tingle!
After successfully stealing the ball, Wang Zhen threw the basketball to the Lithuanian half with both hands. At the same time, like a gust of wind, Song Feng rushed to the Lithuanian half first, caught the ball, layup, and scored!
"2:[-]!" Su Qun shouted excitedly: "With a little more than [-] minutes left before the end of the game, the Chinese team scored [-] points in a row, turning the seven-point deficit into only three points behind. !Although Zhu Fangyu, who replaced Du Feng, has not yet played his role, we have seen that the Chinese team has improved! I have to admit that our coach Xu seems to have the magic power of a magician! It’s just that A seemingly inadvertent adjustment can often change the team's situation on the court!"

Tautas had a gloomy face on the edge of the court, and while the players were serving, he yelled again: "Hold on! Hold on! We're still ahead! Slow down the pace of the game!" "

Needless to say, the Lithuanian players know what to do.

The Lithuanian players who attacked again began to become more careful, and made full use of their attack time. After continuous screens and pick-and-rolls, Borias, who was pulled out, threw away Yi Jianlian, and used a mid-range shot to throw the basketball into the basket.

After that, the Lithuanian players who scored did not celebrate at all, and quickly retreated to their own half without stopping, putting on a defensive posture.

Tautas looked up at the scoreboard with satisfaction, [-]:[-]...[-]'[-]''

Well, leading by five points, there is still one and a half minutes left, the initiative is still in our hands!

"Just play like this! Slow down the rhythm and hold on!"

Tautas could be steady, but Xu Xuezhi couldn't sit still anymore. He strode to the edge of the court, raised his right hand and pointed in the direction of Lithuania's basket, and shouted loudly: "Time is running out! Three points!" Ball! Be sure to shoot a three-pointer!"

On the basketball court, the situation is changing rapidly.

Just now when the Chinese team got close to three points, it was the Lithuanian side that was anxious. Now that Lithuania's lead has become [-] points again, it is the Chinese team's turn to be anxious.

There is still a timeout opportunity in the hands of both sides, but no one called the timeout first. Tautas was not in a hurry because the team led by [-] points, but Xu Xuezhi wanted to save this timeout until the end , make a last stand.

This time, Wang Zhen still did not choose to pass the basketball to Zhu Fangyu who ran out of space under the cover of Yao Ming. Instead, he handed the basketball to Song Feng who cut into the inside. , There was a big loophole in Lithuania's inside line, and Song Feng cut in from here.

"Bang!"

The basketball was dunked into the basket neatly by Song Feng. The Wukesong Stadium, which was a little quiet because of the intense competition, once again heard the cheers of the Chinese fans.

"Return to defense! Quick!"

Wang Zhen roared loudly.

Watching the players quickly return to their own half, Xu Xuezhi didn't say a word at the side of the court. Of course, he would not blame Wang Zhen for not playing according to his tactical intention, because Wang Zhen's assist to Song Feng just now, It's really safer than trying to shoot a three-pointer.

However, with a score of [-]:[-], the Chinese team was behind the two teams!

Tautas didn't say a word, he frowned and thought about something in his heart, then looked up at the remaining time of the game, there was one minute and eight seconds left!

"Intense! It's too intense! The quarter-final match was unexpectedly fierce. It's really surprising that the game has not been decided yet! The performance of the Chinese team, It's... really great!"

The officials of the Chinese Basketball Association in the box also held their breath and watched the game on the court with concentration. Even the old man Zhang Qiang, the chairman of the Basketball Association, grabbed the armrests of the chair with both hands nervously. Several officials stood up and approached the glass window.

No wonder they are so nervous, after all, Chinese basketball has never been so close to the top four in the world!

After this game, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely bring a lot of positive comments to the Basketball Association, but who is willing to let go of such an opportunity to enter the world's top four?
The performance of the Lithuanian players was still so calm, and they fully consumed 20 seconds of attack time before launching their offensive.

"Snapped!"

The basketball was thrown by No. [-] Christopher, who was suppressed by Yao Ming and hardly showed any performance. He turned around and hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

[-]:[-]!
"Oh----"

There was a wailing in the audience!
Xu Xuezhi closed his eyes, sighed and smiled wryly: [-] points! [-] points!Could it be......... really there is no chance anymore?Pause...... Is it necessary to call a timeout?
The game time has almost entered the countdown, and there are only [-] seconds left.

The fans in the Wukesong Stadium, whether they were Chinese or Lithuanian fans, all shut their mouths tightly because of nervousness, for fear that their shouts would affect the team they supported on the field.

The Chinese team's attack is very fast, and the players know that there is really not much time left for them.

However, Lithuania's defense has become very targeted at this time. No matter how the Chinese team does pick-and-rolls or screens, Zhu Fangyu has not gotten any chance to make a shot. Lithuania's players, no matter who they are, will always be the first time. Go defend him.

15 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

The Chinese team only wanted to shoot three-pointers, but the Lithuanian team's defense almost gave up the inside line, and was only focused on guarding against Zhu Fangyu and Song Feng.

Tautas looked proud on the sidelines: "Shooting two points is okay! Shooting three points... that's not okay!"

In the end, Wang Zhen could only pass the ball to Yi Jianlian on the inside, and Yi Jianlian scored two points with almost no one defending. It was just a little interference from the distance. He would not foul at this time and give the Chinese team a [-]+[-] chance.

"[-]:[-], the Chinese team is still three points behind! The Lithuanian team serves, and there are still [-] seconds left in the game!" Su Qun was a little anxious.

"Well, it's time for the Chinese team to adopt foul tactics, so the Chinese team may still have a chance." Xu Jicheng seemed a little disappointed.

Sure enough, the next moment Xu Xuezhi shouted from the edge of the court: "The whole court is pressing, if you fail to steal the ball, foul me!"

The players of the Chinese team immediately acted. When Lithuania passed the ball, Albadas in the backcourt just passed it to Mindagas in the front. Yas was hugged firmly.

"beep----"

The referee's whistle blew, and the Lithuanian men's basketball team got two free throw opportunities, but this is exactly what the Chinese team wanted.

"The Chinese team really started to adopt foul tactics, but the time left for us... is only [-] seconds." In Su Qun's words, the tone was quite pessimistic.

"Shh!"

Borias's first free throw was made due to the interference of the Chinese team fans behind the basketball hoop.

[-]:[-]!
"Good job!"

Tautas excitedly waved his fist on the sidelines of the court, and then the old god retreated to his chair. This game is actually over, and the Chinese team still has this little chance of winning in theory. That's all.

Xu Xuezhi on the other side, as well as the members of the Chinese team, of course understand this.

If the Chinese team wants to win, they can only expect a miracle to happen.

However, a miracle would not be a miracle if it could happen at any moment.

"Shh!"

Borias's second free throw hit again, and the score between the two sides became [-]:[-]. With only [-] seconds left in the game, the Chinese team was trailing by as many as [-] points!

"Ugh!"

Xu Xuezhi turned around, sighed with a wry smile, and walked back to his seat without even calling for the last pause.

Lithuania's defensive range expanded to the whole court. After delaying the Chinese team's attack for 14 seconds, this gave the Chinese team a chance to take a shot, but Song Feng threw the ball to the basket.

"We won - we won!"

The Lithuanian bench and thousands of Lithuanian fans in the stands cheered together. The Chinese team only had seven seconds left, and the ball was still in their own hands. The score difference between the two sides was as much as [-] points , the outcome of this match has really been decided...

The players of the Chinese team did not commit any more fouls, and the Lithuanian players did not attack again. Seven seconds passed with Albadas holding the basketball in his arms.

Until the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wang Zhen's heart was still full of unwillingness, and everything in front of him became hazy: We... Did we lose like this?

Two lines of bitter tears rolled down his cheeks.
