Chapter 532 Own Goal

The moment Liu Tianyu hit a three-pointer to help the Chinese team lead by 40 points, Fang Tianzheng applied for substitutions, and the substitutions were adjusted frequently.

When making substitutions, Fang Tianzheng only asked the substitute to "maintain the point difference". At the end of the game, the point difference must be exactly 40 points.

For the two teams at this time, it is easy for the Chinese team to expand the point difference, but it is very difficult to maintain the existing point difference.

This requires letting the opponent score first and then responding.

Now Australia is like a mess on the offensive end, unable to play an effective offense at all, causing the team to fall into a scoring drought for a long time. This is a pain for the scorers of the Chinese team. They can only suppress their desire to attack.

The last half of the ball was a torment for the Chinese team because the opponent was too good.

Finally, Australia hit the long-lost sports goal, 2 points. Ye Lin, who had been holding back for too long, was finally able to make a shot.

"Damn it, why are you shooting three-pointers?" Qiu Fei said helplessly. He agreed to maintain the point difference, and now he is leading by 41 points.

The atmosphere was a bit embarrassing for a while, and it was the first time someone disliked the lead with too many points.

"Now leading by 41 points, what if the opponent doesn't score later?" Qiu Fei sarcastically said.

"No, there is still a lot of time, they will definitely score." The teammate made a clearance.

"That's not necessarily true." Qiu Fei turned his head and looked at the sad faces of the Australian players, "They have already given up."

"So what do we do?" asked the teammate.

"Put some water in." Qiu Fei sighed, "This is the only way for them to score quickly."

Thus, the Chinese team started a "performance" of the whole team. They missed people in defense and let the opponent take shots. However, the Australian team members were too disappointed.

"What's the matter? No two free throws?" This situation is indeed unusual. It is very rare for professional players to fail to score two free throws. Especially in the international arena, free throws are extra cautious. This situation is even rarer.

"No, they seemed to miss the shots on purpose." Mu Chenfeng looked very carefully off the field. Although the free throw player completed the free throw action, the execution of the free throw was too sloppy, and there was no preview of the shot. Moreover, the two shots were outrageously missed, even the trajectory was crooked. This kind of thing should not happen to professional players.

Therefore, there is only one explanation that can explain this situation, that is, the opponent missed on purpose.

"On purpose? Why did they do it on purpose? Didn't they score well?" Su Mengyao asked with a puzzled look.

"Of course they want to do it on purpose, because we said that we want to win the opponent by just 40 points. This is not just a point, but to respond to what the opponent did before the game. They will definitely not let us succeed. They would rather lose more than let us get "40" on November [-]." Zhang Jianing explained.

"Isn't it also possible to make both free throws?" Su Mengyao continued to ask.

"Of course not. This kind of control of the score, the "behind" side has the initiative. If they are "leading" us, we can control the score very well, draw a foul, and make one of two free throws. Australia also saw through this, so they missed both free throws and let us stay "leading". In this way, they can control the point difference. Ye Lin's three-pointer made us fall into a passive situation."

"Then what should we do? Is there no way?"

"It's not that there is no way, there is another way." Mu Chenfeng said slowly.

"What way?" Su Mengyao asked impatiently, her eyes widened.

"Own goal." Mu Chenfeng said.

When these three words came out of Mu Chenfeng's mouth, Fang Tianzheng, who had frowned slightly, relaxed his brows. Looking at Mu Chenfeng, he secretly thought that this guy went to the United States, and he has really improved a lot in terms of golf business. This kind of method can be imagined.

"Own goal? What is it?" Su Mengyao asked.

"It's just throwing the basketball into your own basket and counting the opponent's score." Li Tianlong explained.

"That's okay too." Su Mengyao said in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to come up with this method."

"However, will the blatant own goal be too obvious?"

"So, we have to send the ball into our basket in a natural way." Mu Chenfeng said confidently.

"The natural way? What is it?"

"Rebounds, when we were fighting for rebounds, we "accidentally" touched the basketball into our basket without anyone noticing it, so that we could "help" the opponent to score." A smirk leaked from the corner of Mu Chenfeng's mouth. In the past few years in the United States, his adaptability has been trained very well, and he has learned to "do whatever it takes" to win the game. It is simply a monster to come up with such an "unlimited" operation in such a short period of time.

"This is indeed a good idea, but how do we pass it on to the players on the field?" Fang Tianzheng asked.

"No need to pass it on." Mu Chenfeng shook his head and said, "There is one person on the field who can think of it, and I'm sure he has already thought of it."

Mu Chenfeng's eyes locked on Qiu Fei who was on the field. He believed that it would not be difficult for Qiu Fei to think of this point with his golf business. If Qiu Fei had been thinking about it, he would definitely be able to think of this way, because it was the only possibility.

"You trust him that much?" Li Tianlong said.

"Of course, in terms of tactics, no one is stronger than him." Mu Chenfeng trusted Qiu Fei very much.

"He thought about it." Mu Chenfeng saw a smile on Qiu Fei's face, and thus concluded his judgment.

The Chinese team still "give way" out of the way, creating an offensive opportunity for the Australian team, completely facing the empty basket, and the opponent missed another layup.

"Sure enough." This time, all the judgments about the Australian team were confirmed, and they did miss the shot on purpose.

There is still a smirk on the face of the "missing" player.

But this time Qiu Fei also had the same smile on his face.

"I'm really sorry, you lost this game." Qiu Fei jumped lightly, and fought for the rebound with his opponent, "twisting" into a ball, but the Australian players were just pretending, and didn't really want to grab the rebound. Qiu Fei tapped his hands lightly, and the basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

"Success!" Su Mengyao stood up excitedly from her chair.

"Of course it succeeded, because no one would have thought that he would do this." Mu Chenfeng said softly.
