no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 61 The Writer of History

Psychological research shows that when people encounter one of the following situations, they will fall into a state of tension:

[-]. Where there are many people;

[-]. Be in front of those you care about;
[-]. When you are not sure about what you are doing;

Unfortunately, after Xu Yong caught up with the score, the North Carolina players encountered these three situations at the same time.

Ross Williams agreed to Jordan, on the one hand, because he knew Jordan and knew that Jordan had always had such a wish to witness his alma mater win the championship after retiring; on the other hand, as he and Jordan said, the boys hoped to Rectify your name in front of Jordan.

The strength of North Carolina is much stronger than that of Arizona State, which was originally a matter of favor and favor.

But he would never have imagined that the appearance of Jordan would actually activate Xu Yong.

After all, what coach cares who the idol of a player on the opposing lineup is?

What's more, so what if you know?

People who wear No. 23 and regard Jordan as an idol are not the vellus hairs of the Great Sage, are there countless?

But I haven't seen anyone who can do this when they see Jordan!
But no matter what happened at this time, and no matter what the reason was, it was true that the North Carolina players were in chaos.

Originally wanted to rectify the name, but now it may turn into another overturn. The psychological pressure brought by the tied score became the mountain that crushed them, and the tense atmosphere began to spread among the North Carolina players like a virus.

So the fans saw a scene that was almost unimaginable before the game. North Carolina, which has always been known for its maturity and tacit understanding.

On the contrary, Arizona State, which was originally at a disadvantage and trailed by 10 points at halftime, played more and more courageously. They started with Xu Yong, but it was not only Xu Yong, Harden, DeRozan, and even Ayers began to play one after another.

"Today, the Devils played a reasonable ball!" As the Devils gradually grasped the momentum of the game, Zhang Weiping was already grinning from ear to ear in the commentary booth.

The point difference came to double digits again with 7 minutes left before the end of the game.

It's just that this time the lagging side has changed from Arizona State University to North Carolina State University.

The cheers of the Arizona State fans at the scene were like waves, one wave after another.

Jordan didn't leave.

He's not the kind of person who shrinks back at the moment, but his face is very ugly.

It's not that he's really afraid that the media will say something about him, and he doesn't need the media to create a personality for him.

Throughout his entire career, it is a process of struggling with the media.

If the media said that he couldn't do well in something, he would do that to make the media shut up.

Invisibly, the media has become a tool to urge him to improve himself.

So that in the end, the media really couldn't find any faults with him, and could only dig some of his surroundings to make gimmicks.

He had a bad face because North Carolina was about to lose, and he blamed himself a little.

He came last year, and North Carolina fell to the semifinals;

This year he came, and North Carolina fell to the finals.

next year……

There is no next year, and whether North Carolina can enter the championship next year is a question.

Perhaps feeling Jordan's face, or perhaps knowing that this was their last chance, the North Carolina players made a final charge.

Their strength and tacit understanding were brought into full play in these 7 minutes, and the point difference was narrowed a little bit.

With 1 minute left in the game, they narrowed the point difference to 2 points, a gap of one goal.

They still have a chance.

Just defend the last attack of the Devils.

Harden held the ball to press time, and finally gave the ball to Xu Yong.

Xu Yong has scored 18 points in the second half, including the first half, he has scored a game-high 28 points.

The moment Xu Yong received the ball, the Tar Heels had already double-teamed him.

However, after Xu Yong created a gap for himself with a false pass, he squeezed through the gap in one step with his excellent explosive power, and then went straight to the basket.

He originally had a chance to pull up, but he knew that breaking through was a safer choice than shooting at this time.

Even if you can't score, you can still make the opponent's foul.

Hansbrough rushed towards Xu Yong.

Xu Yong threw himself into the air when he saw it.

Although the previous experience of being criminalized by Green has just passed, the pain of falling heavily to the ground is still fresh in my memory.

But at this moment, he still chose to do so.

He had to choose to do that!
After seeing Xu Yong's dunk, Hansbrough pushed it in the air.

As the longest river in North Carolina, he didn't mean it, he was just slow.

Xu Yong's core strength is excellent, which made him pause in the air for a moment before leaning back.

That is, seizing this momentary opportunity, he flicked his wrist and changed the action of dunking to hitting the board.

"boom!"

It was the sound of the ball hitting the backboard.

This time Xu Yong did not fall directly because of his psychological preparation in advance. Instead, he fell backwards with his feet on the ground, and was supported by the audience on the sidelines after he retreated to the sidelines.

"Shh!"

And before he stopped, the basketball bounced off the board and fell into the net.

"beep!"

Finally, the referee's belated whistle.

This ball is a difficult 2+1!

It is also 2+1 to kill the game!

Hansbrough hugged his head, the North Carolina players bowed their heads, and the North Carolina fans at the scene were desperate.

Immediately afterwards, there were violent cheers from the Arizona State fans, and the shouts of Harden who rushed towards Xu Yong.

Jordan is shaking his head.

His alma mater, after all, lost to his fans.

However, compared to just now, his expression has improved a little.

Just like what Xu Yong and Harden said at the beginning, there is such a sentence in Jordan's life dictionary: You can accept failure, but you cannot accept giving up.

If a person cannot even accept failure, then it is impossible for him to stand up again after failure.

If the same person keeps giving up, then he is doomed to fail.

The North Carolina team fought back at the last moment. Although they failed to defend against Xu Yong, who had been brave for the entire game, such a failure was acceptable.

Xu Yong went to the free throw line.

"MOP! MOP!"

At this moment, the Arizona State fans at the scene began to shout in unison.

NCAA does not have MVP, or there is no "Most Valuable Player" here, only "Most Outstanding Player", which is what the fans are calling Most.Outstanding.Player at the moment.

徐永已经得到30分，还有5篮板5助攻4封盖2抢断，绝对是今晚最耀眼的存在！

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Xu Yong's face was calm, and he made a steady hit and added a penalty.

North Carolina's suspension.

After returning from the timeout, North Carolina finally tried to shoot a three-pointer, but the focus of Sandek's deployment during the timeout was to defend against their three-pointers.

Continuous pick-and-rolls did not present good opportunities, and Ellington finally defended against the defensive three-pointer...

"when!"

Get out of the box!

After protecting the defensive rebound, Ayres hugged him tightly! !

North Carolina did not choose to foul again.

The final whistle sounded and the score was frozen.

88:83.

Arizona State University defeated the University of North Carolina and won the first NCAA final championship in school history!
Xu Yong turned around and hugged Harden, both of them patted each other's backs excitedly;
DeRozan raised his hands and clenched his fists, waving to the audience;

Ayres still hugged the basketball tightly and refused any request from his teammates to try to take it away;
More members of the Devils rushed onto the field jumping and jumping.

In the auditorium, the fans fell into endless carnival.

The Arizona Heat ignited Detroit at this moment, and the fans' carnival swept the entire Ford Stadium.

Far away across the ocean in China, the fans are even happier than the Chinese New Year.

Although this is only an NCAA championship, this is the first time that a Chinese player has stood at the top of the top American league.

Historic moment!

Xu Yong, Harden, DeRozan, Ayres, Cooksix, Albert, Glasser, Boateng, Shipp...

They brought Arizona State University, this little-known school to the top of the NCAA.

They are all writers of history!
