Chapter 32 Jedi Counterattack!
"Quick attack——!"
"Quick attack——!"
In the rest area of Deming High School, everyone shouted in unison the moment Huang Dong got the ball.
In fact, even if they didn't shout, Huang Dong knew exactly what he should do now.
After stealing the pass, he immediately rushed towards the offensive rebound like lightning, but behind him, the equally fast Ren Shan also caught up.
Seeing this scene, everyone outside the venue held their breath, and their eyes quickly followed the two people on the court.
Finally, Huang Dong took the lead and dribbled directly into the paint. Just after crossing the free throw line, he took off for a layup!
However, in the next moment, the figure behind him also jumped up with a bang, and followed closely behind him and stretched out his hand to cover him!
At this moment, time seemed to suddenly slow down and the stadium became quiet.
Everyone stared into the air, as if everyone could hear their own breathing, heartbeat, and even the blood flowing in their bodies.
Nervous and excited emotions were concentrated in everyone's heart to the extreme. They unconsciously clenched their hands, bit their lips, and even turned red.
Finally, with a slam dunk, everything returned to its original state.
"yeah--!"
The Deming High School rest area suddenly erupted into deafening cheers, while the rest area of Shachang No. 9 Middle School shriveled like frosted eggplants.
Ren Shan was still a step too late and failed to stop Huang Dong's slam dunk.
At this moment, the score on the court is 94 to 96, only the last two points differ!
But after the cheers, the rest area of Deming High School became a little nervous again, because although the score difference was very close, time was running out.
The timer on the sidelines showed that there were only the last twenty-nine seconds left before the end of the game.
Moreover, the right to serve in the next round will still be in the hands of Sha Chang No. 9 Middle School.
Regardless of whether Sha Chang No. 9 Middle School intends to run out of time or score a goal, in these last twenty-nine seconds, it is a fatal threat to Deming High School!
If Deming High School wants to overtake the score and win this game, then this goal must not be allowed to Sha Changjiuzhong, and at the same time, it must seize the goal within twenty seconds!
The players at Deming High School understand this, and the players at Sha Chang No. 9 Middle School are even more aware of this.
This goal is also crucial to them. Whether they win or lose the game all depends on this goal!
When the ball was served, Liu Yao dribbled the ball again. Hu Xu defended the same as last time. As long as there was a little gap, he would try to reach out and steal the ball.
But this time, Liu Yao obviously didn't give him a chance. He lowered his body's center of gravity so that his dribbling hand was only thirty centimeters away from the ground, and he also used his side to block Hu Xu.
With such a low dribble, trying to steal the ball is no less difficult than shooting a three-pointer in the half court.
After trying several times and failing to touch the ball, Hu Xu silently counted the numbers in his heart, feeling the time passing by second by second, and feeling a little anxious.
He thought to himself: "No! Ten seconds have passed! He is just stalling for time and wants to run out of time! He can't delay it any longer!"
Thinking of this, Hu Xu secretly gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
Bang——!
However, his shoulder bumped into Liu Yao's body, and Liu Yao fell to the ground with a bang.
Beep——!
"Blocking foul! Sha Chang serves nine times!"
Indeed, Hu Xu, who was in a hurry, did make a foul in his movements.
In the midfield position, Sha Changjiuzhong re-serves the throw-in.
This time, the ball was sent to Huang Ming's hands. As a result, Takagi made the same problem as Hu Xu. He was too anxious and stretched out his hand to grab Huang Ming's arm.
Beep——!
"Foul for pulling someone! Sha Chang serves the ball nine times!"
The referee's whistle sounded again, and he also said a warning: "The Deming High School team has committed five fouls in total on the field. If it is committed again, there will be free throws!"
(In a basketball game, when all players on the team commit more than five fouls in total, any subsequent fouls will be judged as free throws by the referee.)
At this moment, Deming High School became nervous. If Sha Changjiu was allowed to make a free throw at such a critical time, it would really be over!
Therefore, for a time, everyone became much more cautious in defense and no longer worked as hard as before.
But this time the serve was passed directly to Ren Shan's hands.
After receiving the ball, Ren Shan faced Huang Dong's defense and said with a smile: "I'm not like them. I don't want to waste time. Come on, let's just use this last ball to decide the outcome!"
Hearing this, Huang Dong couldn't help but be startled, and then the corners of his mouth curved: "I wish you could do it!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ball started dribbling in Ren Shan's hands, and every dribbling sound seemed to hit everyone's heart.
Swish——!
The next second, with a cross dribble, Ren Shan passed Huang Dong and broke through to the right!
Crunch!
Huang Dong was half a step slower, but he stopped in time, his eyes instantly became sharp, and he turned around and chased after him!
At the free throw line, Ren Shan took off in a big stride, raised the ball with his right hand and rushed towards the basket.
"Ren Shan! Don't underestimate my Deming's inside information!"
A loud shout sounded from the basket, and Li Gangjian also raised his hands and jumped to defend.
At this time, there was less than twenty seconds left on the timer on the sidelines.
If this ball is not guarded, the game will be declared over early.
But fortunately, Li Gangjian's jumping position seemed to be just right to stop Ren Shan. With this ball, Ren Shan was about to hit the "wall"!
Swish——!
However, just when everyone thought that the ball would be blocked by Li Gangjian, Ren Shan, who was in mid-air, flipped his wrist and threw the ball casually with one hand.
But no one dares to underestimate such a random goal. After all, in this game, did Ren Shan score many seemingly random goals?
Gulu!
The sound of many people swallowing saliva seemed to be clearly audible at this time. Whether it was Deming High School or Shachang No. 9 Middle School, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Will this goal that determines the outcome be scored or not?
Snap——!
A crisp sound suddenly sounded from the air, and Ren Shan's pupils suddenly tightened, because the ball he just shot was actually intercepted by a hand from behind!
At the same time, Huang Dong's voice rang in Ren Shan's ears: "Don't forget, the person who is really guarding you is me!"
"oh--!"
At this moment, gasps of exclamation sounded from the sidelines, and everyone stared at the scene in the sky with wide eyes and disbelief.
In mid-air, before Ren Shan landed, Huang Dong jumped up from behind him. At this time, he was a head taller than Ren Shan in mid-air!
His right hand was raised high and hit the basketball that was still in the air. Then he slapped it down like a fly!
"How, how is it possible... to jump so high?!"
This was the first sentence Ren Shan said after falling back to the ground.
Just as he finished speaking, the ball that was shot away from the other side happened to be in the hands of Li Gangjian.
Li Gangjian, who returned to the ground with the ball in his arms, immediately made a gesture of throwing the ball and shouted at the same time: "Quick break!"
Hearing this sound, Deming's players instantly felt like they were on fire. Hu Xu, Takagi, and Cheng Fei all ran desperately towards the offensive rebound.
Because Huang Dong jumped too high just now, he didn't fall back to the ground until the ball was thrown by Li Gangjian.
But the second he landed, he immediately turned around and ran towards the offensive rebound. His speed was only one step slower than the thrown ball.
"Return to defense! Come back to defense quickly!"
In the rest area of Sha Chang No. 9 Middle School on the sidelines, coach Wang Peng roared with rage. He never imagined that the ball Ren Shan just made would be intercepted by Huang Dong.
Now, the courtside timer is showing; 18, 17, 16...
After Li Gangjian threw the ball, he was immediately caught by guard Hu Xu in the half court, and then quickly dribbled towards the basket.
But Sha Chang 9th Middle School was not slow either. First of all, Liu Yao and Huang Ming took the lead and returned to the three-point line.
The two of them held Deming and the others down for a few seconds, and Yu Tian, Miao Jian, and Ren Shanbian all rushed back to the defense immediately.
Li Gangjian and Huang Dong also arrived, and now it became an offensive and defensive battle between the two teams.
There was no gap left for Yu Tian and Miao Jian on the inside, and Ren Shan, Huang Ming, and Liu Yao were pressing hard on the outside.
Chapter completed!
