basketball forever

Chapter 26 I won!
Come back for the second half.

"Stanford seems to have become different. Their mental outlook is very good. I believe that the coach must have done something during the halftime break. Coach Montgomery is indeed skilled."

Seeing the Stanford players come back, Marv Albert praised him a lot.

On the court, Duke players also found that their opponents seemed to be a little different.

Why is it different, I can't tell.

It just feels different.

beep!
The whistle sounded.

Duke players know the difference.

boom!
In the beginning, Jay Williams' breakthrough did pass Jacobson, but he was directly knocked to the ground by Wang Xiaohui who defended.

Watching Jay Williams slide out of the field, there were also curses everywhere.

"Oh! The Stanford players moved too much, how could they do this."

"Savage, too barbaric!"

"Do you rely on dirty moves if you can't beat? Is this the style of Chinese players?"

"I hurt Richard Jefferson in the last game, who else do I want to hurt in this game?"

The accusations against Wang Xiaohui are not small.

However, Wang Xiaohui didn't care at all, but patted Jacobson on the shoulder.

"Dude, they'll love it if they do it like this."

Jacobson nodded.He has been chasing very hard just now, but he feels that it is not enough.

"Don't worry, I won't let him score easily."

In the same round, Jay Williams broke through again, and naturally aimed at Jacobson's position in Stanford's defense.

He had succeeded repeatedly before, but this time, he didn't take it seriously.

boom!
It was Jacobson, who Jay Williams didn't care about, a physical confrontation, and then reached out.

The ball broke, but Jay Williams flipped to the ground.

beep!
The referee gave Jacobson a foul.

"Oh no!"

Jacobson held his head in disbelief.

However, Wang Xiaohui and the others gave Jakobsen applause.

Stanford's defense is stronger!

However, it's not a problem if such fouls continue.You have to take good care of the next one.

beep!
Duke foul.

Found Jay Williams.

Although Williams missed two offenses, he did damage.

If you come a few more times, the person on the other side can go home to find their mother.

Again!
Jay Williams charged at Jacobson's position.

This time, Jacobson didn't give the opponent a chance to accelerate, and stuck directly to his body.

Jay Williams, of course, is experienced, and he made a bad move with his ball-protecting elbow, and he turned around.

"It's so easy, I pass you like crossing the road in the morning."

Gary Payton's words are most appropriate here.

However, Jay Williams just turned around, but found that the ball in his hand had disappeared!

"Back to defense!"

Battier shouted, Jay Williams turned around and saw Stanford's fast break.

Playing more and playing less, Jacobsen received an assist from Wang Xiaohui and directly received a dunk.

boom!
35-56
In the commentary seat, the old groom clapped his hands excitedly.

"Good shot, recover two points. Keep working hard, 21 points is not a problem."

Of course, Barkley wanted to choke: "21 points is not a problem? Old horseman, you don't pay attention to Duke's people. They won't continue to make mistakes like this."

On the court, the Stanford players did not retreat, and formed a siege on the spot.

This is a 2-1-2 full-court defense with a slightly gambling nature.

But Stanford paid off.

Steal!

Another steal!

Wang Xiaohui steals the pass to Shane Duhon!
Jacobson steals Duhon's pass to Jay Williams!
Triple hit!
Stanford chases 6 points in a row

39-56
"The score difference is only 17 points! The situation seems to be on Stanford's side. Based on defense, this is a very good move arranged by the Stanford coach. Come on, Stanford."

The old groom also cheered Stanford up as a commentator.

Not only him, many fans in front of the TV began to cheer for Stanford.

This is sympathy for the laggards, and it is also hope that the game will not lose suspense so early.

On the sidelines, the old Duke K coach pressed his hands down the field,

'Kids, calm down, calm down.Don't be confused by the opponent. '

Duke's calm way of playing is to find Battier.

As soon as Battier took the ball, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Well, it should be glued on.

"Sean, it's time to give you a gift."

Battier frowned.

Speaking of offense, he really isn't Duke's strongest.To break through such a close defense, to be honest, he doesn't have many moves.

It can only be a move.

"Sanders!"

Calling the big man, Battier passed Wang Xiaohui reluctantly and went inside.

Faced with Jason Collins who was about to make up defense, Battier chose a mid-range jumper.

"careful!"

Hearing such a shout, Battier shot quickly and narrowly avoided Wang Xiaohui's block behind him.

Just, this ball~
Bang!
Did not enter!

"Backboard!"

Under the basket, Sanders, Dunleavy, and the Collins brothers huddled together.No one can easily jump up.

They just watched the rebound fly off.

Battier's own shots and the position of his teammates' rebounds also have better predictions.

"This ball is mine!"

Just as Battier jumped up lightly, raised his hands to take off the offensive rebound, and stabbed obliquely, Wang Xiaohui came out again.

Pulling out teeth, no, it should be picking peaches.

In this way, Wang Xiaohui took the ball directly from the top of Battier's head and from his hands.

"This, well, is a lot of strength."

Battier only came to leave such a sigh, and saw that Wang Xiaohui had already thrown the ball.

"Michael!"

Macdonald and Jacobson had already rushed upfield.

2 on 1
Du Hong was single and weak, so he couldn't guard against it.

beep!
When Jacobson made a layup, Duhon couldn't help reaching out.

Jacobson scored the ball and got an extra free throw.

"And one!"

Jacobson growled angrily at Duhon, venting his depression all the time.

Wang Xiaohui and the others rushed over and clapped their heads one by one.

"Dude, I knew you could!"

Jacobsen also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Subsequently, an additional penalty hit.

The score came to 42-56 with only 14 points left!

On the court, the Stanford players have not let down their vigilance, they still maintain the whole defense.

At this time, the referee blew his whistle.

beep!
pause!

Old Coach K couldn't stand it anymore.

He originally wanted to let Battier stabilize, but now it seems that the situation is not good.

The Duke players were no longer in the relaxed state they had when they first entered the court.

If this 23-point lead is overturned, they will become a laughing stock.

On the opposite side, everyone at Stanford bumped their chests excitedly.

"Oh hoo!"

"Good fight!"

"Cassie, keep it up!"

Now, Stanford's defense is doing well, but it's not enough, they have to continue.

.

Pause back soon.

Dunleavy cooperated with Sanders inside and made a beautiful half-stop.
42-58
Duke stabilized the situation.

The next step is to see if Stanford can continue.

Stanford certainly does.

Jacobson!

Leading scorer Jacobson stepped up.

The consecutive hits before made him more confident at the moment.

In singles against Jay Williams, who was a head shorter than himself, Jacobson held up and hit high without any effort.

Whoosh!
hit!

44-48
After the goal, Jacobsen gestured on his chest with his hand,
"You are so short."

Killing and punishing one's heart, as it should be.

Jay Williams' face darkened in an instant, and he had the heart to kill Jacobson.

"Give me the ball!"

Jay Williams started asking for the ball in the backcourt.

At this time, Jacobson was not far from him.

"I will definitely make you regret it!"

Jay Williams turned on Jacobson angrily.

""

Battier wanted to say something like 'calm', but it was too late.

Jay Williams and Jacobson bonded instantly.

Jay Williams swayed left and right, turned left and right, but couldn't escape from Jacobson.

"Jay! Here!"

When Jay Williams was in a difficult situation, Battier came to support him.

Williams happily passed the ball.

boom!
Under the eyes of everyone, Jacobson intercepted Jay Williams' pass!
This is an excellent prediction!

After stealing the ball, Jacobson directly killed the past.

With Duhon in front and Battier and Jay Williams behind him, Jacobson rushed in without fear.

"Don't even think about it!"

In the middle, Jacobsen was surrounded by three people.

When everyone thought he was going to be a lone hero, Jacobson miraculously chose to pass the ball.

This is a no-look pass.

Location!

45 degrees outside the left three-point line!

Who?
Wang Xiaohui!
With a bang, the basketball reached Wang Xiaohui's hands.

In the first half, Wang Xiaohui's touch had dropped to freezing point.

However, as long as he has the ball, he is a threat to Duke.

Jay Williams, who was nearby in an instant, diverted and rushed over.

Battier and Duhon's attention was also attracted here.

"Stop him, don't let him shoot!"

Just when Jay Williams rushed over, Wang Xiaohui smiled and sent the ball to the inside basket!
Who is there?

Jacobson!

boom!
That's a nice lob!

46-58
12 points difference.The situation is precarious for Duke.

However, the critical moment still depends on Battier.

Battier took advantage of the cover, and once again stabilized the situation with a mid-range shot.

46-60
In Duke's backcourt, Stanford is still looking for Jacobson, who is feeling hot.

And the man defending Jacobson has changed.

Battier!
Wherever he is needed, he is there.

In the first half, it was Battier who knocked Jacobson out of shape and cooled down Wang Xiaohui's fiery touch.

Now, he's back for Jacobson.

"You can't stop me."

Of course, Jacobson played with confidence. He believed that even Gary Payton, a top defender, would not be afraid.

However, he still overestimated himself.

Shake left and right, turn left, turn right. ...

Jacobson experienced the embarrassment of Jay Williams just now.

However, at this time, Jacobson was not fighting alone.

"Cassie, here!"

Wang Xiaohui came over to help cover.

"Good brother!"

Jacobson casts a grateful glance.

With a screen, Jacobson was on Jay Williams again.

Without any hesitation, hold high and fight high.

Whoosh!
Still in!

48-60!

Jacobson's sudden rise has made Duke feel like a formidable enemy.

Battier tried his best to defend, but Jacobson played crazy, and it was really uncomfortable for a crazy player to be on the court.

Also because Jacobson played well at this point, other points also began to slowly recover their touch.

Wang Xiaohui also got a few open opportunities and hit two three-pointers.

Stanford went all out on offense and all on defense, slowly chipping away at Duke's lead.

The point difference is slowly shrinking, shrinking!
It's just that Stanford's style of play has buried hidden dangers.

With 5 minutes left in the game, something happened.

"what!"

When Jacobson was fighting for a rebound in the backcourt, he suddenly fell to the ground holding the ball.

"Cramp, quick, help him!"

Jacobson really worked too hard today.Fight to the point of cramp.

And leg cramps.

He had to step back and rest temporarily.

Now the score is 73-78, and Stanford is still 5 points behind.

It's a good time to chase points, but without Jacobson, how should Stanford play?
inside!

Coach Montgomery's pick is inside.

Jason Collins and Jayron Collins started digging inside.

Just hold on for 2 minutes, and when Jacobson comes back, they can still catch up.

But, it doesn't work!

The scoring of the inside Collins Brothers was not so satisfactory.

Without Jacobson's restraint on the outside line, Wang Xiaohui has few opportunities.

beep!
Montgomery called timeout again.

With 1 minute and 45 seconds left in the time, 79-86, the point difference did not narrow, but widened to 7 points.

"Casey, are you okay?"

Montgomery still believes in leading scorer Casey Jacobson.

After such a season, Montgomery believed in him.

Even if the opponent's defense is not serious, he will keep him on the court.

It's because Jacobson is the most talented player on the team.

Wang Xiaohui wanted to tell the coach something to try to attack with the ball, but after all, he was not the person the coach trusted the most.

"I can!"

Jacobsen jumped in place, frowning.

How can cramps dissipate so easily?
He was somewhat uncomfortable.

"OK! Go for it then. Lads bet everything and go for it!"

Montgomery has said all that needs to be said, and the rest is up to the players themselves.

Wang Xiaohui hooked Jacobson's shoulder,

"Brother, you can trust me anytime, I'm right there!"

Jacobson heard what Wang Xiaohui meant.

However, he doesn't want to!

When it's so important, who else is there for me? !
.

beep!
The game started again.

Jacobson came up and singled Battier.

The ball was almost stolen.

Fortunately, the ball was picked up by McDonald.

Attacking again, Jacobsen knew his own strength, but he was not so reluctant.

"Jason!"

Jason Collins came up to cover the pick-and-roll.

As a result, Duke's defense was decisive.

Battier and Sanders gave up Jason - Collins, Jacobson.

Jacobson hastily shot.

Bang!
Miss!

"Backboard!"

Dunleavy stuck Jaron Collins, and the rebound was about to fall into his hands.

"mine!"

As a result, someone came out from the side and took the ball directly over Dunleavy's head.

"Wang! Wow, this is a very critical rebound. How would he choose? In the previous few games, Wang saved the team at critical moments. Will this rebound be the beginning of his road to salvation?"

The words of the old horseman reminded Stanford fans of the previous game.

"Wang can do it, right?"

On the court, Wang Xiaohui told everyone the answer.

Get out of the three-point line quickly.

Defending Wang Xiaohui's pick-Williams is still at the far end at the moment.

There is no one around Wang Xiaohui now.

After dribbling the ball in place and adjusting his breathing, someone chased him.

But slow.

Wang Xiaohui shot calmly.

Whoosh!
Three points!

82-86
In the last minute, there is only a 1-point gap left, everything is possible!

"Wow!!!!"

Now it was Wang Xiaohui's turn to playfully beat his chest and roar.

He also put his hands to his ears, listening to everyone's praise and cheers for him.

Sure enough, at this time, the Stanford fans cooperated with the call:
"Wang, wang, wang!"

On the field, Jay Williams froze in place.

In the auditorium on the sidelines, Bunch Wells' face was livid.

On the Stanford bench, Montgomery's eyes drifted away, but Dawkins was all smiles.

In the Duke coaching bench, McMillan is full of worries, and the old coach K sits firmly on the mountain.

At the commentary seat, the old horseman happily echoed, "Wang, wang, wang, oh ho ho, I knew that Wang is absolutely reliable! No matter what time it is, you can trust him."

Kenny Smith on the side said secretly: "Old horseman, is it too late for me to change sides?"

Barkley was not happy: "No! Kenny, how can you betray me? I hate traitors the most. Besides, the game is not over yet, and the leader is still Duke. Don't regret it if you betrayed."

"Hahahaha~" The old horseman smiled and continued to analyze, "Right now, Duke is indeed leading the field. However, the situation has changed. If Duke fails to score in the next round and Stanford defends a goal , then the situation will be completely tilted."

As soon as the old groom finished speaking, something happened on the field.

Wang Xiaohui clings to Battier tightly, preventing him from taking the ball.

Duke's offense can only choose Jay Williams.

Jay Williams played against Jacobson.

Jacobson struggled to the point of cramp.

This time, Jay Williams won't show mercy.

"what!"

A tired Jacobson meets a nimble Jay Williams.

Knowing that he couldn't defend himself, Jacobson took a risk. He lowered his center of gravity to grab the ball. As a result, he got the ball, but he got an elbow in the face.

On the spot, the corner of the eye cracked and blood flowed profusely!
Sudden changes disrupted the rhythm of the game.

And the bright red blood also brought more different elements to this game.

Watching Jacobson grit his teeth at this moment, Wang Xiaohui suddenly felt that he didn't seem to know this man very well.

Is it a desire to win?
He can be so desperate, but what about me?
Wang Xiaohui felt that he did not do his best in this game, and the second half seemed a bit salty.

'I'm the protagonist, I can't let the game end like this! '

After simple treatment, Jacobson's wound still failed to stop the bleeding.

No choice but to replace.

Before leaving the field, Jacobsen's eyes were full of reluctance, but there was no way, the wound was too big.What if he doesn't deal well with his eyes?That's a lifetime thing.

Jacobsen, who performed well in the second half, exited the field with his excellent report card of 22 points in the half and 28 points in total.

How should Stanford play in the next minute?
Montgomery picked up the drawing board.

"Next, Jason, let's go..."

What the coach draws is an inside tactic, playing Jason Collins.

This is the safest way for Stanford to play.

At this time, Wang Xiaohui stood up and interrupted Montgomery.

"Coach, I think this ball should be given to me."

Everyone looked at Wang Xiaohui, and so did Montgomery.

Just look at it.

Wang Xiaohui was full of confidence at this time, and his face was full of calmness.

After a second of silence, Montgomery finally spoke.

"what do y'all think?"

Justin Davis spoke first. "I believe in Wang!"

Captain Jason Collins also echoed, "Me too!"

Afterwards, the others nodded as well.

"Okay! If that's the case, let's give it a go!"

With that said, Montgomery began to draw tactics.This time it is the off-ball running tactic that has been used in usual training.

This is a tactic tailored for Wang Xiaohui.

Finally, Montgomery patted Wang Xiaohui on the shoulder.

"Wang, it's up to you from now on."

"Ah."

Wang Xiaohui nodded solemnly.

This responsibility is a bit heavy.

However, Wang Xiaohui likes this feeling of responsibility on his shoulders very much.

'This championship, I'm sure! '

.

beep!
Back in the game, Stanford has the ball.

McDonald received the sideline serve and firmly controlled it.

Stanford's tactics ran.

MacDonald wanted to find Wang Xiaohui, but Duke's defense was too clear, just to keep a close eye on Wang Xiaohui.

what to do?No open space was found, and the ball could not be passed to Wang Xiaohui.

Just as McDonald was thinking about giving the ball to Jason Collins inside, there was a voice over there.

"here!"

MacDonald followed the prestige and saw Wang Xiaohui holding Jay Williams and making a move to ask for the ball.

After hesitating for a moment, McDonald passed the message.

Believe Wang, this is the only thing everyone has to do now.

"Single me? Come on, challenge me to try!"

Jay Williams likes to talk, but Wang Xiaohui caught him by surprise.

Wang Xiaohui suddenly lowered his center of gravity, making a gesture to rush forward.

Jay Williams subconsciously began to retreat.

However, at this time, Wang Xiaohui suddenly took a few steps to the left, which was a sideways emergency stop jump shot.

It's a shot from outside the three-point line!

confidence!

decisive!

The ball went straight to the rim with the hopes of Stanford fans.

"Grandpa, get out!!!"

Whoosh!
Arrow through the heart!
85-86
24 seconds left in the end!
The NCAA shot clock is 35 seconds!
In other words, there is not enough time left!
Just scored a goal, Wang Xiaohui and the others didn't celebrate at all, and formed a siege on the spot.

The audience is pressing!
If you can break it, break the ball. If you can't break it, you must foul it quickly.

"here!"

Duke sends the ball into Battier's hands.

Battier is the team's top free throw shooter, 79.8% hit rate.Even in the NBA professional arena, this is not a bad statistic.

Immediately, Wang Xiaohui rushed forward and struck hard.

Snapped!
Is this a steal or an intentional hit?

Battier frowned.

'The guy on the opposite side looks very decent, but why does he do things so disliked.Never won? '

If Wang Xiaohui knew that the other party thought so, he would definitely reply: Yes, I have never won.

He really wanted to win.

As for the decent and the undecent, is there a need for this distinction on the court?

Only those who win are decent.

Others, who care?

"wuwuwuwu~~~"

Battier walked to the free throw line, and the Stanford fans naturally started booing.

He was still rubbing the back of his right hand, which was still a little uncomfortable.

beep!
The referee's ball came over.

Two free throw opportunities.

After blowing his hand, Battier made a move that was too familiar to him, and shot!

bang bang bang~~
The first penalty was stumbled, but fortunately, the ball was scored without any danger!

85-87
2 points difference.

If there is another ball, Duke can be safe.

beep!
Duke made a substitution, replacing Dunleavy with a solid Boozer.

Is this for rebounding?
Stanford is relying on the Collins brothers.

"Whoo~~~~"

Second penalty.

Because Stanford had a lot of fouls in the second half, it had reached more than ten times, and there were two free throw opportunities.

This time, Battier prepared for a long time and adjusted for a while.

Maybe it was because he had been preparing for too long, and he lost the feeling of preparation.

bang~
The basketball hit the basket's neck.

"Backboard!"

Such a crucial rebound, whoever grabs it, will gain the initiative.

"The rebound was pulled out by the inside! Jay Williams! He stole the ball! He is still wasting time! Wang chased up! Fouled! Jay Williams is next to the free throw line!"

Stanford lost a rebound in the backcourt, which was really fatal.

Jay Williams is Duke's hero!
Duke fans are already celebrating.

"Yeah, the game is won. The championship is ours!"

However, when he got to the free throw line, Jay Williams completely extinguished everyone's enthusiasm.

Bang!
Missed a free throw!
Second penalty!
bang bang bang~
Jay Williams took several deep breaths.

Under the eyes of everyone, he adjusted for a while before making a move.

The basketball flies toward the hoop.

Bang!
No matter how long you prepare.

Did not enter!

The basketball bounced high.

"Whose rebound will it be?"

Everyone is staring at the ball,
"The ball went to Carlos Boozer. Did he get the ball? Oh no! No! He didn't get the ball. Who took it? Oh my God! Wang again! Wang yanked the rebound out of Boozer's hands."

"woooooooo!!!"

Wang Xiaohui scored the rebound, but now is not the time to be happy.

Stanford did not pause, and only the last 7 seconds remained.

At such a moment, who else is better than me? !

After taking the rebound, Wang Xiaohui started immediately.

"Go! Wang, go!"

This is the last attack.

Wang Xiaohui's speed is not very fast, Battier has already retreated to his own half, stepping on the three-point line.

Facing Battier's defense, Wang Xiaohui had no intention of slowing down.

Battier watched Wang Xiaohui charge forward, his eyes full of flaws.

'You can't pass this ball. '

The opponent Shane Battier was about to come, but Wang Xiaohui still didn't slow down.

'Is this going to pass me by speed? '

Battier's eyes were full of vigilance, and he was ready to step back.

However, what Shane Battier didn't expect was that Wang Xiaohui suddenly slammed on the brakes when he was about to hit him.

Jumped up in front of Battier.

"what?"

Battier's body was originally going backwards, but his head was directing forward.

In the end, he froze in place, motionless.

Just watched Wang Xiaohui make a move in front of him.

huh~
The basketball flew away from Wang Xiaohui's fingertips, drew a beautiful arc, and headed for the basket.

But Wang Xiaohui turned his head back confidently and raised two OK gestures with both hands.

"I won!"

After a while,

Whoosh!
Arrow through the heart!
"Lore! Wow, buzzer lore! Oh my God! The 19-year-old Wang from China has won the game! Congratulations to Stanford! 88-87, a one-point victory over Duke. After 59 years, Stanford Won the NCAA championship trophy again! They proved themselves, they are still the best team in the United States, always have been!"

In the commentary booth, the old groom and Kenny Smith jumped up excitedly.

On the side, Barkley covered his mouth, dumbfounded.

"woooooooo!!!!!!"

"what!!!!"

"Oh Mygord! Oh Mygord! Oh Mygord!"

The Minneapolis Arena exploded instantly!Many people screamed frantically.

Garnett spread his arms and stopped the excited people behind him, "Hold me, hold me!"

Rasheed Wallace raised his arms and yelled, "Oh Mygold!"

Pippen smiled and nodded and clapped his hands, applauding the kid.

On the court, Wang Xiaohui was suddenly surrounded by his teammates.

"We won, we won!!!"

"we are the champion!"

"Wang, you are my eternal god!"

On the Stanford side, there was a sea of ​​celebration, on the other side, Duke University fell short, and everyone was on their hips, full of disbelief.

Unwilling, disbelief, disappointment, frustration, annoyance, remorse...

All kinds of complicated emotions filled my heart.

But what can we do?The game is over.

"Let's go and congratulate them."

Battier pursed his lips, finally took a deep breath, and walked over.

"Wang, see you in the NBA! Next time, I will definitely win."

Battier is also going to be in the NBA this summer.Is this the same invitation as Arenas?

"Sean, to be honest, I really don't want to be your opponent. You are too tough. However, if you want to talk about the game, next time, I will definitely win."

Battier pointed to the back of his hand, "Indeed, you really want to win."

"Hahaha." Wang Xiaohui smiled embarrassedly himself.

The winner celebrates, the loser exits.

Many Stanford fans couldn't hold back at all, directly broke through the security escort and rushed into the stadium.It quickly became Stanford's red ocean.

.

On the sidelines, Bunch Wells looked at the kid in the crowd and remembered him fiercely.

'Are you handsome?Boy, sooner or later I have to deal with you! '

In the high-rise box, the corners of the girl's mouth slightly raised while holding the book.

'Not to mention, that guy is quite handsome. '

However, when she saw someone surrounded by Yingyingyanyan, she rolled her eyes again.

"Not bad, not bad, this Wang is really good."

At this time, the old man's voice sounded from the side.

The girl asked:
"Mr. Abby, do you think he can enter your training camp?"
