Chapter 9 20 points

The warm-up match between UCLA and UCB played like a formal game in the first three quarters. The confrontation between the two sides was quite intense, and the frequent changes in tactics and tricks made the game very interesting.

Anderson, Westbrook, Afflalo and other star players also played their own strengths, which won frequent applause from the audience.

At the end of the three quarters, UCLA led by 15 points on the road.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, the coaches of both sides came together and seemed to be discussing something.

"Huh~?! What are the two brothers doing~?! Whispering~!! This is not the end of the game, could it be that they greeted each other in advance~?!"

Seeing this, the black brother immediately became suspicious.

"It looks like something will change in this fourth quarter~~"

The male protagonist stared at the two coaches and said in a cautious tone.

"Change~?! What else can change in this game~?! Can you make flowers~?!"

The questioning expression of the little black brother reappeared.

"According to my previous understanding of the warm-up match, the outcome of the warm-up match is not the most important thing, maybe it is the least important, at least in the eyes of the coaches. Those coaches should take advantage of the opportunity of actual combat and play hard." Investigate the players, hone the tactics, this should be the most important~!!"

The hero explained.

"Could it be that, in the fourth quarter, we have to ~~, to replace the bench players~?? Playing garbage time in one quarter~?!?!"

The black brother understood what the hero meant this time.

"Maybe. After all, through the first three quarters, the coaches of both sides have confirmed the status of the team's main players, but the situation of the bench players may still need to be investigated, so strictly speaking, this is also garbage time. For players who rarely get a chance to play, this is a "golden game"~!!"

The male lead continued.

While talking, the fourth quarter started. As expected, the two sides replaced players who hadn't played before, and every face looked very jerky and unfamiliar.

Anderson, Westbrook and others have already put on training uniforms, and they should no longer be able to appear on the stage.

"Dude, is it really like the NBA preseason~?!?! Really, I thought the fourth quarter would be more exciting, really~~"

Seeing this, the black brother said dejectedly.

"These 20 points don't seem very stable~!! Really, if I knew this earlier, it would be better to be more stable and say 15 points~!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black brother secretly sighed.

"Actually, for an audience like me who basically doesn't know any star players, it doesn't matter who is on the court. I don't know them anyway. Haha, as long as the game is exciting enough, it's just that the score has not been narrowed. UCB It’s really hard to win~!”

The hero sighed.

"Dude, stop joking, how is this possible, UCB is only behind by these points, it's not bad, even if both sides send bench players, UCLA is still stronger~~"

The black boy said in a mocking tone.

"After all, we still have to compare and see~~"

The male protagonist is still calm and composed.

However, in the fourth quarter of the game, it was not as the hero said. UCB's bench players seemed to be more difficult to parry their opponents in terms of strength, but they were not so vulnerable. The two sides played rather anxiously.

And because there is a "20-point bet", the score, which was originally without suspense, appears very "intense" in the eyes of the male lead and the black brother.

15, 17, 20, 18, 17, 15, the point difference changed back and forth, which made the black brother too nervous to speak.

His fists were clenched tightly, and cold sweat seemed to be breaking out on his forehead, as if the score was really anxious.

While speaking, the game has come to the last minute.

66:49, UCLA leads by 17 points.

But in the eyes of the black brother, UCLA is now "four points behind".

Many fans have already left the stadium. After all, there is no suspense about the outcome of this game. Some fans seem to want to prepare for the autograph after the game, so they came to the players' tunnel ahead of time.

"Swipe~!!!"

During the conversation, UCLA's offensive end gained again, and UCB's defense also relaxed, so UCLA took the opportunity to score a three-pointer.

"Yeah~!!!!!! Oh~!!!"

This ball directly made the black boy stand up unconsciously and cheer, the sound of exclamation seemed to be heard throughout the stadium.

Because of this goal, the threshold of "20" has finally been reached.

"Hey, keep your voice down, are you really not afraid of being noticed by others, and you will be blocked at the door after the game~!? Don't forget, this is UCB's home stadium~!!"

Seeing this, the male protagonist pulled the black brother's pants and reminded him.

"What are you afraid of, buddy, I didn't do any provocative actions, just to celebrate, 20 points, one more goal, I won~!!!"

The black brother is still very excited.

"I'm just afraid that I will be caught at that time, and I will suffer with you~~~"

The male lead continued.

"But you are really good, I almost forgot about the 20 points~~~"

The male protagonist laughed and teased.

However, the black guy didn't have time to pay attention to the hero. There were less than 40 seconds left in the game. Logically speaking, the two sides still had a chance to attack.

If the black guy wants to win, he must meet two conditions. One is that UCB cannot score in this offense, and the other is that UCLA must score in the next offense, or UCB scores two points first, and UCLA makes another backhand shot. Score three points.

It's actually easy to write the plot like this, but the reality is that after UCB's offensive is over, there may only be one offensive time left, that is to say, UCLA holds the final offensive power.

Friends who often watch basketball games should know that the side with a large lead will basically choose to "call for gold and retreat" in the final attack. After waiting for the time to run out, the two sides can also "shake hands and make peace" friendly It can be regarded as respect for the opponent.

So from this analysis, it is relatively difficult to break through 20 points.

But if UCB chooses to attack quickly this time and can leave two offensive minutes, it is still not good.

"Rebound~!! Fast Break~!! Fast Break~!! Fast Break~!!!"

During the conversation, UCB really quickly ended the attack, the ball was missed, and UCLA received the rebound. The black brother was very excited when he saw this.

"Oh~~No~!!!Attack~!!!There are still nearly 20 seconds~!! Guys, what are you doing~!?"

However, after UCLA dribbled the ball to halftime, several players stopped running, but started to stroll around like shopping in the market, and began to waste time.

Although there is still time after UCLA's offense is over, they don't seem to want to fight anymore.

"It seems that if we fail, we won't be able to win, haha~!!"

The male protagonist looked at the situation on the court, and then at the score draw, and sighed.

"What are you doing, guys, I'm about to get a Burger King~!!"

The black brother also sat down at this time, with a helpless look and a lonely tone.

"Hey~!!!"

At the end of the game, 69:49, UCLA beat UCB by 20 points.

The male protagonist and the black brother "crossed a blank draw".
