Chapter 39 Battle against Duke ([-])

The atmosphere is like boiling water, reaching its peak at this most critical moment.

The fans on both sides roared like a tsunami, competing for the level of decibels, which caused the eardrums to hurt.

One ball, ten people, on this field, there are no extra thoughts at this moment, only one last thought is left in my mind, and that is to defeat the opponent in front of me.

Needless to say at the kick-off, Tang Wenlong quickly advanced past halftime.

In 3 minutes, Wesley circled around to a 45-degree position to catch the ball. After Tang Wenlong made a counter-run towards the baseline, he received Wesley's pass near the baseline, and he still got the ball with his back.

Post-up singles?

Old Coach K was slightly taken aback, Tang Wenlong had never shown such a technique before!Could it be the secret weapon that Tang Wenlong has been hiding all along?Old Coach K is a little worried about gains and losses at this critical moment.

Facts have proved that Tang Wenlong really has no intention of playing back. After catching the ball, he turned around on the spot and formed a face-to-face one-on-one with Sayer!

The two looked at each other with murderous intent.

Sayer's standard defensive posture, with his left hand raised high to block vision, and his right hand extended flat to block.

And Tang Wenlong stood in a standard three-threat position, with both hands controlling the ball at the waist, his left foot as the axis, and his right foot touching the floor every now and then, as if he was about to make a breakthrough!
Suddenly, Tang Wenlong's eyes flashed brightly, his body stopped suddenly, his hands that controlled the ball showed a flaw, and the whole basketball was placed in front of them like this!

Sayer's breathing became short of breath, and he seemed to be able to see the orange color of the basketball in his dilated pupils!
In the blink of an eye, Sayer pressed down his raised left hand, trying to break the basketball in Tang Wenlong's hand.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Tang Wenlong's mouth
Tang Wenlong's arm controlling the ball suddenly extended to avoid Sayer's magic hand. At the same time, he raised his arm so that the bend of his arm was tightly attached to Sayer's arm.He yelled "ah", the basketball came out of his hand, and his whole body twisted exaggeratedly, as if he had been violently violated.

"Beep~" The referee blew his whistle decisively, pointed at Shayer with his fingers together, and made a penalty gesture for a thug foul.

Sayer was in a mess for an instant, he didn't use any force at all!

There were exclamations at the scene, but most of the audience at Duke University did not boo the referee. After all, even from their point of view, the ball was an out-and-out foul.

Tang Wenlong walks to the free throw line!

Singler ran over to comfort him, Shayer almost died of anger.

"Shuh" "Shuh"

Tang Wenlong made two free throws, and Syracuse led 61 to 59 by two points.

The on-duty referee looked up at the replayed video secretly, and looked at the scene of Tang Wenlong throwing the ball, feeling faintly that something was wrong.But before he could think about it, the game started again.

Leading the field by two points, the pressure was on Duke University.

Singler greeted his teammates to move, and he fell to a high position to pass the ball to the ground. Lance Thomas outside the penalty area caught the basketball. Behind him was the Syracuse power forward Anderson who was waiting in full swing.

Post-up singles are not Thomas' strong point, let alone solving games with immature means at this critical moment.

He only controlled the basketball for three seconds, then transferred the ball out again, and Shayer on the outside received the basketball.

Shayer stepped on the edge of the three-point line, tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down, he held the basketball high and observed the standing positions of the players on the scene, an unexpected large transfer was handed over to Singler in the other corner .

Singler made an adjustment, well enough to shake Wesley Johnson out of the way as he jumped up, and then hopped lightly in the air and flicked the ball away.

Wesley didn't jump again, turned around and rushed inside to grab a rebound.

"Shh!"

I didn't expect the basketball to pass through my heart, turning up a net flower! 62 to 61!

This three-pointer undoubtedly boosted the momentum of Duke University on the court, and the cheers of fans supporting Duke instantly suppressed the voices of Syracuse University fans.

"You little bitches, I can't shoot you to death!" The fans shouted at each other in the air with blushing faces. The atmosphere on the scene was especially hot. The security guard Alexander wiped the sweat from his face, worried that the fans in the arena would suddenly riot .

Tang Wenlong controlled half of the court in a leisurely manner. At this time, only the last 2 minutes of the game were left.

Wesley Johnson made a tactical inquiry about whether to use individual singles to end the game. Tang Wenlong glanced at him, but decided to solve the game by himself.

He used a simple cross step at the top of the arc to confuse his opponent, and after a few shakes, his shoulders sank, and his footsteps made a mistake, and he made a breakthrough from the left.

There are many kinds of breakthroughs in the NBA, some rely on physical fitness and strong explosive power to surpass others in one step, some rely on rhythm changes to surpass others lightly, and some use fake moves all over their bodies to shake their opponents away.Tang Wenlong's breakthrough seems to be a combination of these three, and every breakthrough is pleasing to the eye. Earlier reports said that from the perspective of breakthroughs alone, he is already a very good NBA player!

What's more, he didn't just make a breakthrough. After leading Sayer by half a body, he was immediately double-teamed by Duke University. Andy's hand.

This is a very simple breakthrough tactic. Andy received the basketball in the most comfortable position. He adjusted his breathing, jumped up and shot like usual training, and there was no defense three meters in front of him.
hit!

64 to 62, Syracuse actually completed a response ball at this critical moment!

At this moment, the fans of Syracuse University who had just fallen silent immediately erupted in earth-shattering cheers. The waves of sound suppressed the Duke fans, as if they were going to overturn the entire arena!
The old coach K requested a timeout.

"Good job, lads!" Coach Jim smiled and gave high-fives to the players coming off the field. Don't look at him calmly now, the moment Andy shot just now, his heart jumped into his throat.

On the other side, the Duke University players were obviously a little frustrated. The old coach K comforted everyone with his magical voice: "Don't be stressed, don't think too much. We are only two points behind, even if it is an ordinary one. Foul, we can also tie the score, boys, cheer up, we are going to win the fourth trophy in school history!"

In the stands, the fans had all stood up, the blue representing the Duke Blue Devils and the white representing Syracuse University formed a sharp contrast.

After the referee whistled, Duke sent the baseline ball.

Nolan-Smith felt sweat seep from the palms of his hands, his heart began to beat non-stop when he controlled the ball and advanced, his breathing was short of breath, his physical strength was rapidly exhausted, and his hands and feet felt sore.

As soon as halftime passed, he passed the ball through his chest with both hands and passed it to Shayer who came out of the pocket.

Sayer didn't stop the ball either. According to the old coach K's arrangement, a ground pass was passed to Zobek, who was in the main position outside the penalty area. Zobek bent down to catch the basketball, lifted the ball over his head, and then With a bow, he tested the distance between Black and himself behind him.

And Singler, who slipped from the bottom line to around 45 degrees, suddenly changed his direction of movement and went straight to the basket!
Startled, Wesley Johnson moved in small steps, following Singler sideways.

"boom!"

Wesley Johnson snorted, suddenly felt an obstacle in front of him, and then rebounded with great force, blocking his figure in a high position.

It was Thomas' high off-ball screen for Singler!

Singler went straight to the basket, and Zobek flicked his wrist lightly, and the basketball smacked covertly and bounced back into the hands of Singler who made an air cut.

Facing the empty basket, Singler made a simple flying shot.

It's as simple as eating and drinking water!Singler was secretly happy, the cheeks that were blown by the breeze were extremely comfortable, and he even thought of tomorrow's media reports at this moment, what would the two consecutive goals he scored be blown into?Born with a big heart or the savior of the fourth quarter?

"Be careful!" A soft exclamation sounded in his ear, it seemed far away, but also very close.

The next moment, a big yellow-skinned hand suddenly appeared above his head!

"Snapped!"

The flying basketball was slammed by the big hand, hit the backboard and bounced back, and jumped several meters away. Wesley Johnson had quick eyesight and quick hands, and caught the rebounded basketball.

Singler and his friends were stunned by this sudden scene. He felt that what others photographed was not the basketball, but his own face.At this moment, his heart is full of remorse and frustration, why, why I just chose a layup instead of a dunk, if it is a dunk.
If there is no such thing as reality, Wesley Johnson took the lead and ran to the frontcourt to show off a back button.

66 to 62, Syracuse leads by 4 points, only 58 seconds left in the game!
This is really heartbreaking news for Duke fans. 4 points in basketball means at least two sports scores, and there is not much time left.

The old Coach K requested one final timeout from Duke.

At this moment, the fans in the arena are clearly divided. The snow-white Syracuse fans cheered, screaming and applauding endlessly, while the dark blue Duke fans fell into the cold winter. They fell into a deadly atmosphere. The college student even covered his mouth with tears in his eyes, not daring to watch this scene again.

Tang Wenlong tugged at the front of his chest and let out an inspiring roar. After completing this chasing block, the blood in his whole body boiled. Only the roar can release the excitement in his heart!
