God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 126 Overtime
Palessio watched nervously as the basketball flew in mid-air.

Players from Colorado State University and Duke University also watched nervously as the basketball flew in mid-air.

Everyone in the arena, even every basketball fan who has been watching the game in front of the TV, is nervously watching the basketball flying in mid-air, and some of them are still holding their hands tightly. They stared at their chests, not daring to breathe out, and those who didn't know thought they were patients with severe heart disease.

The basketball flew straight towards the basket amidst everyone's attention, and it tapped lightly on the back edge of the basket. Although the sound was very small, Palessio, who was still standing outside the three-point line and maintaining his shooting posture, couldn't bear it. I shivered for a while, this f*ck is really tormenting, no matter whether I enter or not, your old man quickly gave an explanation!

Perhaps because he couldn't bear the expectant eyes of so many people, the basketball obediently rolled into the basket after knocking it down twice.All of a sudden, the Colorado State University bench was boiling. They and their teammates on the field rushed towards the figure standing blankly beyond the three-point line, happily playing stacking arhats, as if they had already won the game Same.

In stark contrast to them is Duke University's bench, everyone is like a sculpture, stunned in their positions, including our dear old Coach K, who opened his mouth in a disfigured way, and Chang Wei felt himself He could fit a light bulb in there without getting crushed by his teeth.

The DJ at the scene quickly woke up from the shock, but he still frantically sprayed his saliva into the microphone: "Oh! My God! What did I see? Colorado State University dragged the game into the game with an ultra-long three-pointer In overtime, you must know that their opponent is Duke, the top school in the NCAA! I dare say that this school will soon be on fire, whether they can become a dark horse or not, I have decided to become their fan, this is a team A team that can do miracles!"

On the Colorado State bench, McKay was still panting heavily. This is so exciting!He didn't expect that Palesio would dare to shoot a three-pointer at a position two meters away from the three-point line. You must know that this guy's shooting percentage at this position is really impressive during training, but he didn't even expect that this shot The seemingly messy three-pointer actually scored!
Chang Wei, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it anymore. Is this guy going to keep panting like this until the overtime starts?So there is a use for this three-pointer?He patted McKay on the shoulder vigorously: "Coach, now you have to quickly arrange your tactics. This time we only have 1 minute of rest time. Whether you can make good use of the remaining 5 minutes of overtime depends on you."

Only then did McKay come back to his senses, and hurriedly greeted the players who were still dancing on the field to come back and listen to the arrangements for the overtime game.Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Duke to come back to their senses. This three-pointer stunned them. The state of the coaches and players is not much better than that of Colorado State. Old K has just beaten the players. All gathered together.

"I'm so proud of you guys, I was amazed by how you played in the crunch moments. But please forget what you did in the last moments of the second half, it's extra time. Physical fitness is definitely our strength, and that That's what Duke doesn't have, so I'm asking you guys to play the team and show everyone how fast we play!"

Indeed, in many overtime games, it is a competition of physical fitness and perseverance. Colorado State is not lacking in both, and Palesio's ultra-long three-pointer before the end also greatly boosted their morale. It can be said that these are the team's advantage, but Chang Wei didn't believe that old K would have no countermeasures. Anyway, Duke's background is still much stronger.

The 1-minute timeout passed quickly. After the coaches of the two sides exchanged a few words, the game was about to restart. However, McKay took the opportunity to replace Svensey and let McCance play instead. In his opinion, Parler Theo can just focus on scoring, and this lineup is the most skilled lineup in Colorado State playing small ball tactics.

But obviously old K will not let them play a fast offensive and defensive rhythm. His instructions to the Duke players are to suppress the rhythm of the game and prevent Colorado from rushing up.Of course, there is no way to limit the fast retreat, but Duke did not plan to play fast when attacking. Even if there is a chance to counterattack, Old K also asked them to suppress the rhythm and not to shoot when they are not sure. You must wait until all your teammates are in position before organizing the attack.

The original Colorado State players thought that Duke's offensive and defensive rhythm was slow enough before, but they didn't expect that they could play even slower. Letting these players who are used to fast offense play a slow-paced game is so depressing that they vomit blood.Chang Wei shook his head secretly on the field. Old K was indeed better, completely restricting Colorado State University's tactical style.

One minute passed, neither side scored. Colorado State was unable to find an open shot, and the percentage of forced shots was not high; Duke was because of luck. There is an open space, but the shots are all out of the box. Obviously, this is their physical fitness problem.

Old K naturally didn't dare to replace the substitute players. After all, replacing the substitute players now means losing the opportunity, and he doesn't quite believe that the substitutes can maintain the same slow pace as the starters.In fact, there are several masters of chaos on Duke's bench. If they play, it will be good if they don't bring the team's offensive and defensive rhythm into flight. They can't be expected to limit the opponent at all.So even though the main players felt a little tired, Old K resolutely kept them on the field.

In the second minute, Langton finally gave Duke a shot, hitting a mid-range jumper. Of course, with Duke's slow tempo that made people want to smash the TV, they took nearly 30 seconds for this goal.The Colorado State players were not to be outdone, but unfortunately their counterattacked three-pointer hit the frame, and the rebound was held firmly in Pulzbila's arms.

It is very dangerous to be hit by a small climax in one breath by the opponent in overtime, which means that it may collapse directly.Fortunately, Patick completed the steal directly when Langton passed the ball inside. Palesio and McCans used continuous passes to play tricks on Avery and Callaway who were chasing back, and a tomahawk dunked Tied the points difference again.

Obviously, these 5 minutes are a duel between fast and slow. No one knows what will happen in the follow-up, and sometimes, fast and slow are only relative.
