Chapter 201 The Last 2 Minutes
Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath. If he replaced Xiaozhi, he would be targeted again. In 2 minutes, it was not safe to lead by 6 points. It was also a helpless move for him to replace Luo Peng.

"Coach, let Luo Peng continue to fight. If we can't win this game, there will be no hope in the future. I don't want to swallow eggs." Lan Feng hurriedly persuaded.

They all understand that this feeling cannot last forever, and it is impossible for Huaxia to stop using Jordan. Once Jordan returns, the gap between the two sides will widen again, and the possibility of winning is almost zero.

"Let Luo Peng come on, coach." Lu Wei also came over to persuade him. If possible, he also wanted to play. Unfortunately, he did not enter the team's roster for this game, so he could only sit at the end of the bench with Han Bin for the ball. The team cheers.

"Ziqiu, let Luo Peng finish the fight. Even if he can't walk anymore, I think we should let him finish the fight and not let him have any regrets." George also came out to persuade him. He didn't have the ability to direct the game, but he A coach who knows how to respect any player.

Back then, if Lu Ziqiu had not been encouraged and taught by him when he first entered university, it would have been difficult for him to achieve what he is today.

Even George spoke up, but Lu Ziqiu stopped insisting, "Okay, Xiaozhi, you step back."

"Yes, coach." Xiaozhi was not displeased, but instead gave Luo Peng an encouraging look.

Luo Peng nodded heavily and didn't say anything, but he had already clenched his fists with excitement. He had no other goals this season. The only goal was to defeat Huaxia, even in one match.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

Since Luo Peng's stamina had been exhausted, everyone dared not expand their defense any further, while Luo Mang switched defenses with Lu Qian, and he would mark Dai Jin exclusively.

Originally, Lu Ziqiu wanted Xiaozhi to pester Simmons, but right now Xiaozhi didn't do it, so this important task could only be handed over to Lin Sen.

At this point in the game, any tactics are basically useless, relying on the will of the players and the singles ability of the superstar.

Now that Dai Jin is under the watchful eye of Luo Mang, the only one with absolute certainty is Simmons.

"You can't guard against me." Simmons looked at the score solemnly, then looked down at Lin Sen, who was bending over to defend, and began to slash back.

Lin Sen's defense is not strong at all, and the difference in height and strength is too great, so he can't resist at all.

But he still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if we can't defend, the important thing is that we can win."

"Want to beat our Huaxia?" Simon curled his lips in disdain, "Your strength is not enough." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned over, pulled up and shot.

"Fart." Lin Sen jumped up and patted his arm heavily.

There was a crisp "pop", which was extraordinarily crisp under such a tense atmosphere.

The referee blew his whistle and called Lin Sen a thug foul and made two free throws.

"Shameless." Simmons was furious. With his current touch, the two points just now could definitely be scored. However, free throws are hard to say. After the whole season, his free throw percentage is just over [-]%. Not even as many blue-collar centers.

"Do you want to send you a free throw? Then next time I will send you off." Lin Sen approached him, whispered a threat in his ear, and walked away with a smile.

Among the boos all over the sky, Simmons missed both free throws.

Luo Mang put the ball in his arms.

West on the sidelines shouted anxiously: "The whole court is pressing, hurry up."

But what the Wolves are most afraid of is full-court pressing, because they usually train like this, not to mention that Huaxia players are not suitable for full-court pressing. After all, except for Dai Jin and Simmons, the other three points Both are slow.

The Wolves easily resolved the ball and easily passed the ball across the half. Lin Sen held the ball, held the ball in his arms, and looked back at Lu Ziqiu.

Lu Ziqiu made a few pressing gestures, signaling him to slow down and delay.

Lin Sen nodded, and waited until Simmons forced over before starting to dribble.

Although he is not at the same level as Simmons at all, but as a street player, once he is in control, it is almost impossible to steal him.

"Hurry up and attack, why are you still standing there?" West jumped again anxiously. Gains and losses in a game are nothing, but losing to the Wolves, which lacks two main players, is definitely not what he is willing to accept.

As soon as Huaxia's players moved, the Wolves rushed to respond, but Luo Peng's physical strength was exhausted, and he couldn't keep up with his feet.

Seeing that Lin Sen had been forced to the corner of the sideline, he had no choice but to block it.

The referee's whistle sounded in time.

Luo Peng looked helplessly at Lu Ziqiu on the sidelines. If he hadn't insisted on fighting, this situation wouldn't have happened.

However, Lu Ziqiu didn't care. After all, the team's fouls were not yet full, and the opponent would be sent to the free throw line until the next foul.

So he smiled slightly, indicating that it doesn't matter, just delay the time.

Huaxia serves, and Luo Peng, who is physically exhausted, is responsible for interfering with the opponent's serve, while the rest of the players defend with all their strength to prevent the opponent from receiving the ball easily.

The ball was sent out smoothly, Simmons received the ball smoothly, Lin Sen followed closely in front of him, and did not give him an easy chance to break through.

Huaxia players ran to the pick-and-roll, and Simmons evaded the defense smoothly and went straight to the basket.

Lu Qian came to defend, but he knew that he couldn't pull the opponent down at all, so he directly hit the ball, and he definitely couldn't get it, but there was no problem with the foul, and it wasn't a tactical foul. It's just a foul.

When the whistle sounded, the Wolves fouled out and sent Simmons to the free throw line again.

This time it was a bit better, two free throws were made, and Lu Ziqiu immediately signaled Lan Feng, who was holding the ball, to apply for a timeout.

Huaxia is only 5 points away from catching up, and there is more than enough time, but the situation is very serious for them, because Simmons' inaccurate free throws will be completely targeted, but let him go off the court, and there is one less absolute strong on the court. point.

West hesitated for a long time, but still failed to win Simmons, but Fann and Lin Dong were replaced by him, replaced by all small lineups, and started the full-court pressing tactics.

Lu Ziqiu used the last long timeout, firstly to give Luo Peng more rest time, and secondly to focus on arranging tactics to break the opponent's full-court press and pinch the ball holder.

He could have replaced Lan Feng and Luo Mang with Hayes and Hyde, who had better ball handling and faster speed, but considering Luo Peng's previous situation, he gave up this idea and let them stay. Fight to the end on the court.

But he is not helpless, if Huaxia wants to press the audience, it will definitely send all the small ones.

So before the players re-entered the court, just in case, he told Lan Feng again, "In a while, you remember to lean on the opponent's player to ask for the ball. Don't worry when you get the ball, and observe the running position of your teammates first."

Lan Feng nodded emphatically. He understood that this attack was very important and there must be no mistakes.
