Brother Pingtou failed to break out this time, and was pressed to death by the opponent. Syracuse University was at a disadvantage throughout the rotation.

With just a few minutes left in the game, Syracuse was still eight points behind.

In the last few minutes, Qin Hao kept attacking the inside line. If he didn't shoot a good three-pointer today, he would attack the inside line. His speed, height, and jumping are all the capital of his attacking the inside line.

For a while, Qin Hao either scored points directly, or scored from the free throw line, and scored several points in a row.

It's just that they came a little later, the game time is getting less and less, and the University of Kansas is also scoring. Although the point difference has narrowed a little, Syracuse University has always lagged behind.

At this time, Qin Hao and Butler's physical fitness has also reached its limit, and the two of them are constantly attacking the inside line, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

"boom!"

When Qin Hao missed his last three-point shot, the game ended and the score was fixed at 78:75. The University of Kansas defeated Syracuse University by 3 points and won the Midwest Division championship.

It all came to an end.

Qin Hao panted heavily with his knees propped up, sweat dripping down his chin, he stared at the scoreboard, full of unwillingness, he had a chance to drag the game into overtime, but unfortunately he missed the final three-pointer.

"Qin." Butler came to Qin Hao's side, put one hand on Qin Hao's shoulder, and comforted him, "It's not your fault."

Qin Hao turned his head and showed a wry smile. He smiled, his eyes turned red, and there was water vapor in them. He opened his mouth and said in a bitter tone: "Jimmy, we lost, and we are only three points behind. We and the champions of the Central and Western Division are only left. One step away, and we lost."

Butler's eyes were also red, and he clenched his fists: "I know." As he spoke, a tear slipped down and smashed to pieces on the floor.

Who said that a man does not flick his tears easily?
At times like this, seeing the disappointed and painful expressions of teammates, seeing the coach who is obviously sad but still forced to comfort himself with a smile, seeing the disappointed eyes and tears of tens of thousands of fans who supported him in the auditorium. Even Qin Hao Being a human being in two lives can't be flat.

After experiencing the unwillingness and disappointment at the beginning, Qin Hao adjusted as quickly as possible. He put his arms around the shoulders of Butler and his teammates, and said: "If you lose, you lose. If you lose, it proves that we are not strong enough. We have to become stronger, and come back next season to win our Midwest Championship, and even the NCAA championship.”

"Ah."

"I'm going to get stronger."

"Me too"
