"Push up and force them to shoot." Jiang Fangping yelled from the sidelines, not allowing the opponent to spend time calmly, even if he can't force the opponent to make mistakes, he must force the opponent to take action as soon as possible. In the end, there will be two more seconds left for himself. This is also a good thing.
However, Wusui Middle School was well prepared. The ball was always controlled by Xu Feng and Zeng Fan. Both of them have the best ball handling skills and are not easy to make mistakes.
And both of them had good free throws. If Yu Yang fouled in the seventh, and sent them to the free-throw line, they would be quite sure to make the free throw.
But Yuyang Seventh Middle School will not foul, and send the opponent to the free throw line for a foul, betting on whether the opponent can make a penalty, this is tantamount to putting the initiative in the hands of Wusui Middle School, which is not advisable.
Regardless of the outcome, the opportunity must be in your own hands.
"10 seconds, 9 seconds..."
In the audience, the fans started counting down.
There are only a few seconds left in the offense. The ball is in Zeng Fan's hands, but Zeng Fan is not in a hurry. Even if he fails to score this time, he will run out of time.
"Double-teaming." Qin Hao shouted.
For a while, Yuyang Seventh Middle School doubled Zeng Fan. Zeng Fan had to pass the ball to Su Guanglei. Su Guanglei took the ball and saw that the basket seemed to be empty, and immediately rushed to the basket.
However, Wang Lei quickly retreated and jumped to block the ball. Although he failed to block the ball, he interfered with Su Guanglei.
boom!
Su Guanglei missed a shot.
"Rebound."
"Grab the rebound!"
At this time, there were only 6 seconds left in the game, and the fans in the audience stood up and yelled at the court, extremely nervous.
Wang Lei turned around to grab a rebound, but was stuck by Hou Kun who returned to the inside. The two were wrestling, but they couldn't jump for a while and could only wait for the basketball to fall.
At this moment, a figure rushed forward and jumped up like flying into the air, grabbing the rebounds from the heads of Wang Lei and Hou Kun.
"It's Qin Hao."
"Qin Hao got the rebound. Come on, there are only 4 seconds left."
People exclaimed.
Qin Hao got the rebound and rushed to the front at full speed. Zeng Fan and Xu Feng repeatedly pounced on Qin Hao, but at this time they didn't dare to start casually. If Qin Hao made a three-point foul, it would be bad.
Qin Hao crossed the crowd and rushed to the half-time of Wusui Middle School. At this time, there was only one second left in the game. He didn't even have time to reach the three-point line or make adjustments. He jumped just after the half-court and it was the last one. Throw the basketball out in one second.
Everyone is staring at the basketball, holding their breath and keeping their eyes on.
They saw the basketball crossed a line, but hit the front of the basket with a bang, and finally failed to make a hit. The flute sounded at the end of the game.
"Not in."
"It's a pity, if it's in, it's overtime."
"This ball is a little shorter, and Qin Hao's physical energy consumption is also great, otherwise he might be able to make it..."
People sighed and felt sorry for Yuyang Seventh Middle School.
Yuyang Seventh Middle School has been behind since the start of the game. At one point, they were behind by as much as 18 points, but they did not give up, step by step to catch up with the score, and remained in a stalemate with Wusui Middle School until the end. Their tenacity has already conquered the fans. , And even many fans are looking forward to Yuyang Seventh Middle School's comeback.
Unfortunately...
After all, I lost.
The players of Yuyang Seventh Middle School were very unwilling. A group of people returned to the coach. Jiang Fangping did not blame them, but said gently: "Let's go back to the locker room."
A group of players followed Jiang Fangping and walked back to the locker room silently.
On the court, the players from Wusui Middle School hugged and celebrated.
Zeng Fan looked at the back of the player from Yuyang Seventh Middle School, frowning with a solemn expression. He retracted his gaze, only to find that Xu Feng was also looking there. The two looked at each other. Zeng Fan said, "Although we won this game, But winning is not easy and very dangerous."
"Yeah." Xu Feng nodded and said: "Yuyang Seventh Middle School is very strong, very strong. Qin Hao, Jiang Feng, and Wang Lei, although they are three high-level first-year players, their talents are really terrible. If it weren't for other players, that couldn't play. Well, if Jiang Feng's physical stamina is not overdrawn, if the last attack time is a little longer, give Qin Hao a chance to calmly take action..." He didn't go on, although he didn't want to admit it, but without these, the outcome would really be possible. It will be different.
There is no need for Xu Feng to finish, Zeng Fan can understand that he patted Xu Feng on the shoulder and said: "Don't think so much, the opponent is very strong, but in the end we won."
Xu Feng smiled, but his expression was not relaxed, and said: "I have a hunch that we might meet them again."
Hearing this, Zeng Fan's face changed slightly.
This is a group stage, a single round-robin system. In the group stage, Wusui Middle School will no longer play against Yuyang Seventh Middle School. Even if both teams can qualify in the group, then if they meet again, they must reach the finals. They can only encounter each other in the provincial finals.
Xu Feng said that because he thought Yuyang Seventh Middle School could reach the finals?
"Okay, you are a bit unreasonable." Zeng Fan smiled, he doesn't think so. With the strength of Yuyang Seventh Middle School, the possibility of qualifying in the group is very high, but there is still a semi-final, they will also face the first seed in Group B. When is it so easy for a team to reach the final?
"Yeah, hehe, I think a little bit too much." Xu Feng also felt that he was too worried, and he shook his head and laughed.
...
In the dressing room.
The twelve players in Yuyang Seventh Middle School did not speak, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.
"Crack!"
The door opened, Jiang Fangping and Jiang Xue walked in. Jiang Xue looked at Qin Hao, then looked at her brother worriedly, what he wanted to say, but heard Jiang Fangping say: "Look at what you are like, Isn't it just to lose a game? Winning or losing is part of the game. Who hasn't lost yet?"
It's okay not to mention this, as everyone's emotions can't be controlled when it is mentioned.
Yuan Xiaogang raised his head, his eyes were red, and he reproached himself: "Coach, I'm sorry, but I didn't control my emotions and played so badly. I was the one who dragged down the team."
"Me too." Guo Kai also said.
"No." Jiang Feng said rushingly: "I am too persistent. In the last few minutes, my stamina has been overdrawn, and staying on the court has no effect at all. I have to stay on the court. If I were to be replaced at that time , Put someone else up, maybe we won't lose."
"I am also wrong." Wang Lei followed: "I am always not confident and cannot break through the psychological barriers. If I could come out to score earlier, maybe we would not fall behind so much."
Players spoke up one after another, all blaming themselves.
Qin Hao also said: "It's not just you, I'm not doing well. If the last three-pointer can be scored, the game will be dragged into overtime, and there may be a chance to win."
However, the players shook their heads, Guo Kai said: "You have done well enough, the last three-pointer has not enough time, we don't blame you."
"Yes, and even if it is dragged into overtime, our state is difficult to win."
"Qin Hao, don't blame yourself."
Seeing his players scrambling to blame himself, Jiang Fangping felt relieved, but his face didn't show up at all. On the contrary, he sternly said, "Shut up all of you."
Everyone was quiet immediately.
Jiang Fangping said: "We lost this game and played very badly. You don't have to rush to take responsibility, because everyone, including me, is responsible, because we are a team and a collective. We made mistakes, Everyone is to blame for losing. But the game is over. What we have to do is not to indulge in failure, but to review ourselves and stop making mistakes."
"Knowing the shame and then being courageous, he is a big man."
"If you lose, you lose. The next time you win back, as long as we reach the finals, we can still play against Wusui Middle School and have a chance to take revenge." Jiang Fangping paused, his eyes suddenly blazing, and he asked loudly: "Now I will tell you, do you have the confidence to make it to the final and take revenge on Wusui Middle School?"
For a time, everyone's blood boiled.
Knowing the shame and then courage, Fang is a big man, these words kept echoing in the players' minds, Qin Hao blurted out: "Of course I have confidence!"
"Yes, we will definitely make it to the final and take revenge on Wusui Middle School."
"Revenge!"
