basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 202 Finally Winning
The game restarted, and the audience, including the commentator, held their breath nervously.

The Wolves serve in the middle circle.

Luo Mang took the basketball from the referee and observed the situation. The other three were all locked up by the opponent. Only Lan Feng used his height and weight to lean against the opponent's defender, so he dropped the ball to him.

Lan Feng holds the ball, grabs the ball with one hand and raises it high, turns around to observe the running positions of his teammates.

As long as he doesn't talk about taking the ball down, China's defenders have nothing to do.

Seeing the time passing by second after second, West on the sidelines was very anxious, "Foul, foul quickly."

Hearing this, the defender hurriedly applied for a foul, but the number of fouls did not come up, so the Wolves had to serve from the sideline again.

But this time it was replaced by Dai Jintie against Lan Feng. He is tall and bounces well. If Lan Feng is still like before, he will definitely lose the ball.

His mind was extremely flexible, and when he saw this, he began to run to pick and roll for Lin Sen. Lin Sen had an opportunity, and Luo Mang quickly passed the ball over, urgently and quickly.

Lin Sen turned around after receiving the ball, and quickly rushed towards the opponent's basket.

Simmons is tall and has long arms, so he caught up with him in a few strides, but Lin Sen didn't bother with him at all, and immediately turned around and dribbled towards no man's land. As soon as other players chased him, he immediately passed the ball, and Huaxia was helpless for a while. .

After passing the ball several times, it finally reached Luo Peng's hands. Seeing that the time was approaching, he had no choice but to play hard.

The Huaxia players who were in charge of defending him took advantage of their physical strength to stick close to him. Luo Peng consumed a lot of physical energy and couldn't get rid of it. He can also make long shots.

The teammates didn't have a good chance to run for a while, so they could only choose to make a strong shot as a last resort.

The other players saw him shooting and rushed to the basket. Lan Feng, Luo Mang and Lu Qian all used their height and weight to successfully grab a good position. The ball bounced out of the hoop and was confiscated by Lan Feng. Can score, but the rebound still can't escape Luo Mang, and he easily points the ball in.

The moment the ball was scored, the arena was boiling again.

Everyone understood that the victory of the game was getting closer.

"Come back to defense, don't give them a chance to score three points." Lu Ziqiu on the sidelines is the calmest person at the moment. He only has 7 points, which is not safe. Huaxia players have a tenacious will. Once they are negligent, they may be chased by them at any time even overtake.

Huaxia no longer has a timeout, and West can only remind the players loudly on the sidelines how to play.

Serve again, this time Simmons did not catch the ball, but ran directly to the frontcourt.

According to the rules, in the last 2 minutes, the team cannot foul players without the ball, so West arranged for him to run without the ball and catch the ball.

At this time, Huaxia's players were obviously in better physical condition, and the Wolves didn't dare to delay the whole game, so they could only retreat to the half court as soon as possible and fall into the defensive position.

With 1 minute left in the game, Simmons used triple screens to find an opportunity, catch the ball and shoot it, hit a three-pointer again, and the score was only 4 points.

Lu Ziqiu called a timeout again, and the last short timeout was also used up.

This timeout was mainly to instruct Luo Mang to follow Simmons closely throughout the court, not to give him the chance to pass the halfcourt or make a shot easily, and after the instructing, he arranged a tactic for Luo Mang to rush to the basket quickly.

Returning to the game, the Wolves sent the ball smoothly, and Huaxia still did not use foul tactics. For them, there is still more than enough time, as long as they hold this time.

But after Luo Mang received the ball, he didn't deliberately waste time. Instead, he leaned on the defensive player and then turned around and dribbled the ball to the basket. With the current lineup on the field, no one in Huaxia could stop him, and no one would have thought of it. He actually chose Luo Mang to attack.

In just 5 seconds, Luo Mang rushed to the free throw line, took three steps, and ended the attack with a powerful dunk with both hands. After scoring, he turned back to find Simmons without any celebration. .

Under Luo Mang's close defense, Simmons struggled to catch the ball with all his strength, but Luo Mang seemed like a dog's skin plaster that couldn't be torn off, and he was still able to bypass the pick-and-roll man and quickly approach him.

Simmons had no choice but to call others to do the pick-and-roll for him again. When his teammates came over, Lin Sen also followed him. Just after he finished the pick-and-roll, Lin Sen rushed over and quickly cut the ball. Naturally, the ball could not be cut. Yes, the thugs are also for sure.

The referee blew the whistle again, and Lin Sen was sent off for the sixth offense, but he didn't care. Instead, he left the field with his head held high.

Lu Ziqiu did not replace Xiaozhi, but replaced Hayes, who was more accurate in free throws. If there is no accident, after this free throw, Huaxia will very likely adopt foul tactics. Just in case, he must ensure that the field All five have decent free-throw percentages.

Of course there are exceptions, unless Simmons makes two free throws.

But this is impossible. In the case of good physical condition, he rarely makes two free throws, let alone now?

Not surprisingly, Simmons still made one of two free throws.

Luo Mang accepted the rebound, held the ball and waited for the opponent to foul, but the opponent did not foul, but rushed towards the two of them at the same time, surrounded by Luo Mang.

Right now there is no chance for a timeout, and Luo Mang doesn't dare to lift the ball easily. At this time, if there is no obvious foul, the referee will generally not blow it.

Seeing that he was about to violate the rule, he was quick to use his wits, and suddenly jumped high, staring at the field, but the ball suddenly hit the opponent's leg and bounced out of bounds.

With the bottom line serve, Huaxia is naturally pressing all over the court, but this kind of Wolves is not afraid and can easily resolve it.

After halftime, only 45 seconds left.

Without Lin Sen, under China's high-pressure defense, no other Wolves player dared to dribble easily, but what they are most afraid of now is time, even if they are locked in the corner, as long as they run out of time without making mistakes That's fine.

So Hayes kept fainting in the corner. As soon as the opponent came over, he immediately turned around holding the ball and blocked the opponent with his body.

West finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Foul soon."

The players who double-teamed Hayes hurriedly started, and the whistle sounded in time, with only 40 seconds left, but there was still a gap of 5 points.

Amidst the cheers from the audience, Hayes walked up to the free throw line confidently, took a few shots after receiving the ball from the referee, and made the first free throw. Cheer up.

The players stepped forward to give him a high-five, and Luo Mang suddenly whispered in his ear: "Don't make the second free throw, hit the back edge of the basket."

Hayes' heart skipped a beat, but he immediately understood that the most important thing right now was time, not goals.

So according to Luo Mang's request, he aimed at the back edge of the basket, looked at Luo Mang's position, and chose to throw the ball in a direction that was on his side.

The ball hit the basket and jumped high, and the audience couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.

But then they immediately exclaimed again, because Luo Mang had already seized his position, jumped up high and put the rebound in his arms, and immediately turned around and led out of the three-second zone. When the opponent player pressed forward, he immediately hugged up basketball.

Huaxia players had to foul again.

In this way, another 5 seconds were consumed.

He made free throws, made two free throws, and the score came to 8 points.

Huaxia quickly served the ball, and immediately missed a three-pointer after halftime, and the ball was received by Luo Mang, so they stopped fouling and gave up the game completely.
