The audience in the stands were shocked; The team members protested one after another. He Wenjing and Zhou Xuesong stepped forward to argue with the referee. At this time, Wu Yi raised his right hand and said calmly: "I did walk, please continue the game."

"Yi!" He Wenjing was extremely puzzled. Wu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "We still have a 2-point lead. If we defend this goal, the victory will still be ours."

"Yes, go ahead." Li Jun took a deep breath and said, "We will win."

He Wenjing felt uncomfortable. In his heart, the victory was very close, but in the last quarter, even if he tried his best, he could not seal the victory, leaving the suspense until the end.Xiangshan Middle School attacked, Yang Hao bypassed the outside line with the ball, Cheng Wu immediately stood firm and blocked Yang Ying, Lan Lie waited for the opportunity to run and catch the basketball in Yang Hao's hand, Zhou Xuesong stepped forward to defend Lan Lie, standing on the left side of the free throw line Lan Lie took two steps to shoot and aim. Zhou Xuesong didn't dare to step forward and act rashly. Time passed and Lan Lie dribbled in. He Wenjing was blocked by Chen Chaohai when He Wenjing wanted to chase him. The basketball was passed back to Chen Chaohai!
"Let's miss!" Wu Yi watched Lan Lie cut to the bottom line and immediately switched defenses. Yang Hao and Cheng Wu also ran to the bottom line at the same time. At this moment, Ye Fan also moved to the bottom line, and saw the four players from Xiangshan Middle School ripping through Furukawa Middle School's defense line like "peeling bananas" on the field!

"Hehe..." Chen Chaohai's eyes focused on holding the ball to launch an attack at the basket, "The timing is just right!"

He Wenjing noticed that the four teammates were pulled to the sides before he suddenly realized, and Chen Chaohai had already leaned back with the ball on his back and approached the basket forcefully!He Wenjing bent his waist and struggled against Chen Chaohai's back, and his mind was at a loss: At this moment, he could only powerlessly carry Chen Chaohai, who was taller than him, and raised his hand to force a layup!He Wenjing jumped up to block the ball and stretched out his hand towards the basketball. He was used to facing opponents with inferior height and slapped Chen Chaohai's wrist directly, but the basketball rolled out of his hand and into the hoop...

"Foul!" The referee raised his hand and blew his whistle, "Blue team No. 1, the thug fouled! An extra penalty!"

The audience exploded!The auditorium in the stands exploded instantly, and almost everyone shouted loudly!The game was brought to an absolute climax! !

"Oh my god! Absolutely!" Shan Linfei slapped his thigh in the stands and shouted, "This is really hard to guard against!"

"I really didn't expect..." Liao Renhuang said with a sly smile, "Furukawa Middle School will also have a defensive height disadvantage...Xiangshan Middle School just took out their 'first height' to eat the 'shortest' player of Furukawa Middle School, I am convinced by this wave of tactics."

"It's really..." Ji Wenqing said with sweat dripping from his forehead, "My heart is in my throat."

Looking at this scene, Zhao Lingfeng was filled with emotion, holding on to the railing and said: "The essence of tactics is vivid...they are really a group of guys who keep surprising people."

"These guys, I will definitely beat them next year." Zhao Lingyun said cheerfully, "And the game is not over yet, whoever wins may not be sure!"

Chen Chaohai stood on the free throw line and received the pass from the referee, dribbled the ball twice on the spot, aimed at the basket and threw it high.The score is 71:72!At this time Suzuran requested a timeout.The players went off to prepare for the final tactics. Ye Fan handed the water to Chen Chaohai and said, "Great job! Hai."

"It's really you!" Yang Hao thumped Chen Chaohai's shoulder and said, "I'm sweating!"

"It should be over." Chen Chaohai wiped off his sweat after drinking water, "They must be very tired too."

Linglan took out a tactical drawing board and said: "There are 36 seconds before the end of the game. Furukawa Middle School has enough time to attack to recover the score... So our tactics remain the same. Defense and foul tactics are used to prevent Furukawa Middle School from overtaking. score."

"Do you want to change?" Ouyang Yuchen pushed his glasses and asked, "It will be better to replace with someone who is physically strong for the last time." Ling Lan pondered without making a decision, then turned her gaze to Chen Chaohai and Ye Fan and said: "I thought about leaving the suspense of the game until the end, but...I have changed my mind now. I want to hand over the game to you. Show your confidence, you are the strongest."

Lily of the valley's words made everyone feel relieved and happy.

"Thank you." Ye Fan nodded calmly, "Thank you coach for trusting us."

Ling Lan smiled and said: "If you have confidence, you may not succeed, if you don't have confidence, you will definitely not succeed."

After the timeout, the players re-entered the court, and the lineups of both sides remained unchanged. With 36 seconds left in the game, He Wenjing held the ball and prepared to make the final attack. He stood two meters away from the three-point line and looked at the figures on the court, sweating profusely. The final contest of will was very cautious. After half of the offensive time passed, He Wenjing dribbled the ball into the pick-and-roll. Lan Lie opened his arms to defend him and had no chance. Wu Yi stretched out his hand for the ball. "I won't let you use this method again."

He Wenjing canceled the passing action and took a step back to pass the ball to Yang Ying. Cheng Wu was like a wall completely blocking his way. With only 6 seconds left in the attack time, Yang Ying transferred the ball to the outside Zhou Xuesong and immediately passed it to the flank He Wenjing!
"Must be defensive!!" Ling Lan yelled tensely, He Wenjing looked directly at the basket with a firm will...

5 seconds!
Time seems to be frozen. Everyone on the court is sweating from the collision of youth, the sharp confrontation, the time touches the heartstrings, and the rhythm of the heartbeat can almost be heard... Countless pictures flashed through Lan Lie's mind. The former basketball giants and that lost summer turned into the motivation in his heart at this moment.

3 seconds!
"I don't know how much strength I have left...but not now!!!"

At this moment, Lan Lie used all his strength to jump high and open his arms to block it!Completely block the projection area of ​​He Wenjing who is the same height as him!
"Oh my God! He jumped!!!" There was a shout from the stands, Ling Lan covered her lips with her trembling fingers, Yu Yixian's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands and shouted: "It's amazing jumping ability!"

Shangguan Jinnan also couldn't help nodding his head in agreement. Qin Qing clenched her fists with excitement and shouted: "Good job! Use the extreme airborne method to delay the attack time!" Facing Lan Lie's amazing bounce and airborne blockade, she already held the ball with both hands He Wenjing could only helplessly wait for Lan Lie to land before taking off and throwing a basketball from a mid-range distance. A long sound rang out, and the trajectory of the basketball flew across the sky towards the basket...

"24-second violation!" The referee whistled, "The goal is invalid! The red team has the ball!"

The whole place exploded!

Looking at the situation in front of him, He Wenjing only had helplessness in his eyes, and he couldn't help shaking his head while sweating.Furukawa Middle School requested the last timeout of both sides in the second half. With 12 seconds left before the end of the game, Xiangshan Middle School had the ball. This undoubtedly brought full confidence and certainty to the Xiangshan Middle School players.

"You guys did a great job!" Ling Lan burst into tears, couldn't help but stepped forward to encourage her, Yang Hao patted Lan Lie on the shoulder and said: "Lan Lie is really our trump card, a trustworthy guy!"

"Great brother..." Lan Xiao congratulated him with joy, Ye Fan said with a long sigh, "The last 12 seconds, the ball is still ours, this game..."

"Hey! Stop it!" Lily Lan immediately interrupted Ye Fan and said in a calm tone, "Ye Fan, don't set a flag for us at this time! Stop it!"

"Hahaha..." The team members couldn't help laughing, Li Ying grabbed Ling Lan's arm and said, "Sister Hua finally let me go to the club to ensure that there will be no problems...you can't trust me, the rookie king!"

"Okay!" Ling Lan waved her hand and took out the tactical drawing board and said, "In the last 12 seconds, it goes without saying that everyone knows that Furukawa Middle School will definitely come to grab the ball immediately, and will not hesitate to foul... Idiot, Yuchen, Li Ying, All three of you circle out to the perimeter at the same time to catch the ball."

The three nodded, and Ling Lan continued: "Lan Lie will serve, and Cheng Wu will be the last... Your task is very simple, just stop He Wenjing from the other side."

Cheng Wu nodded to indicate that the players returned to the field after confirmation. Xiangshan Middle School replaced Ye Fan and Chen Chaohai at once. Lan Lie received a pass from the referee on the outside line of the front court. Li Ying, Ouyang Yuchen and Meng Xiaodong moved out to catch the ball at the same time. He Wenjing noticed it immediately but was stopped by Cheng Wu's solid arm!

"The opportunity is here!" Lan Lie took the opportunity to toss the ball to Li Ying. Li Ying swung past the defender and crossed it to Meng Xiaodong. As a last resort, Yang Ying had no choice but to foul.

"Foul!" The referee whistled, "No. 9 of the blue team, foul! Two free throws!"

The basketball bounced off the backboard and finally fell into the basket. The score was 71:74!Xiangshan Middle School gained a decisive lead, but in desperation, Furukawa Middle School hastily served the ball to the front court and Li Ying jumped up and broke it directly, extinguishing Furukawa Middle School's last hope...
