Although Mo Lin's ball was not Lu Yuhuang's, it was still a fall after it fell.
The fans didn't care so much and started cheering in unison.
Lu Yu used another fake move to deceive Cox's center of gravity. When he entered, the opponent's insider could no longer ignore it and quickly made up for it.
Lu Yu was waiting for this moment. The basketball in his hand suddenly disappeared like magic. Gonzaga's substitute center Corey had already had a Connecticut player rushing to defend him. Needless to say, Lu Yu had already passed the ball to him.
he.
The ball in Corey's hand was released. He seemed to be trying to avoid the opponent's block. He released the ball very quickly, but he didn't hit the basket or the backboard...it was a three-step mistake.
Gonzaga fans were feeling sorry for the ball. At this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared under the basketball and gently rubbed the falling basketball with his fingertips.
The basketball immediately changed its trajectory, spinning upwards and falling into the basket obediently again.
It's Lu Yu again.
"Oh, it's so beautiful, another wonderful goal!" The on-site commentator applauded Lu Yu for not knowing how many times: "Lu Yu's passing vision is really outstanding, and his timing of passing is also very good.
Great, he was able to attract most of Connecticut's defensive attention. Although Gonzaga's center didn't make a shot, Lu Yu appeared in time...I think Connecticut would have called a timeout."
Before the commentary finished, Connecticut head coach Calhoun called a timeout.
He couldn't do it without shouting. Let Lu Yu continue to fight like this. When his rotation time comes, he probably won't have to fight during the game. He can just go up and surrender.
86:79,
They were already seven points behind.
If Lu Yu scores another three-pointer and widens the point difference to ten points, it will definitely be a huge blow to the team's morale.
So when the point difference was still in single digits, Calhoun immediately called a timeout.
During the timeout, the commentator commented on the situation of the game: "Judging from the situation of the game, Gonzaga clearly has the initiative. They have Lu Yu as the core of offense and defense, which allows them to do it with ease at any point in the game.
Even though the score was tied by Connecticut in the middle, Lu Yu led the bench to open up the score once. The only factor affecting the result of the game now is Lu Yu's physical strength. Let us take a look at Lu Yu's wonderful performance..."
The big screen directly above the arena immediately broadcast a set of shots of Lu Yu's scoring and assists, especially the scene where Cox was lying on the ground. The scene was played repeatedly. At the end, the commentary could only be described in one sentence -
It's really incredible.
Connecticut fielded a full lineup in advance, and Mark Foyo did not hesitate to field a full lineup.
With neither team having a break, Gonzaga still led by seven points.
The rest depends on who can survive until the end.
The premise is that the power is not cut off.
Caron Butler hit a mid-range shot, and Lu Yu immediately received an assist from Dan Dickau and returned one.
Casey Green scored a dunk, and Connecticut immediately launched a fast break counterattack.
On the surface, both sides are scoring, but if you look closely, you will find that due to the decline in physical strength, both sides are unable to defend with all their strength on the defensive end. The game lacks some gunpowder. The rhythm of the entire game seems to have been in Gonzaga's hands.
.
Calhoun on the sidelines sighed helplessly.
He knew that the players really couldn't fight anymore. Even if they tried their best on the defensive end to prevent Gonzaga from scoring, it would be difficult for them to put the ball in the basket when they returned to the offensive end.
But in the last few minutes, he really didn't want to give up.
It’s only once a year. If we lose today, we will even advance to the semi-finals this year.
Calhoun shouted on the sidelines: "You know, if we lose, we go home! There is no next game! Some players don't even have next year! You are just a bunch of cowards, don't you even have the courage to fight?"
Sweat was dripping from Caron Butler's face.
Albert Morin's eyes were filled with fighting spirit again.
And Johnny Selvey, Edmund Sanders, Tariq Brown...
The five people on the field shouted in unison: "We are not cowards!"
They began to fight for every rebound, began to attack the basket again and again, and began to desperately defend against every attack of Gonzaga!
Caron Butler hooked up with Lu Yu for a layup.
96:90
Tariq Brown was dragged to the ground by Dan Dickau and passed the ball. Albert Morin hit a three-pointer.
96:93
Lu Yu stopped suddenly in the middle distance, twisted his body and shot the ball in.
98:93
Albert Morin succeeded in a layup, but his leg cramped and he lay on the ground holding his calf and groaning in pain.
Caron Butler came over and held out his hand.
Lu Yu also came over and stretched out his hand.
Albert grabbed their hands and stood up again, stamped his feet, and continued the game!
Calhoun did not replace him because it was likely his last game of the year.
Caron Butler flew to save the ball and his whole body hit the technical table.
A teammate puts the ball into the basket.
98:95
Lu Yu gasped for air and his calves kept twitching. He had reached his limit and Leihu's stimulation had no effect.
None of the fans in the stadium made a sound.
Both Gonzaga and Connecticut fans were looking at the game with worried expressions. The entire arena was silent except for the sound of sneakers scraping together.
Casey Green was blocked and the basketball was taken by Connecticut.
There are only the last fifteen seconds left.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The basketball slowly collided with the floor. The sweat on Albert Morin's face dripped down his cheeks. His calf jumped suddenly, and the muscles in his calf were tense into one piece, which looked extremely weird.
This is the muscle that gets cramped.
But he gritted his teeth and said nothing. He was waiting for Caron Butler to come out. He knew that his legs would never make the final shot. Only Caron Butler was sure of this.
Lu Yuzai was fighting with Caron Butler.
You give me a push.
I'll push you.
It looked like two people were wrestling. Caron Butler suddenly exerted force, pushed Lu Yu away, and then ran directly outside the three-point line.
Lu Yu wanted to chase, but the soles of his feet gave out.
He was too tired. He had already played for forty minutes. If there was to be overtime, Lu Yu had no idea.
"Fuck you!"
Lu Yu yelled, exerted force on his feet, and rushed toward Caron Butler.
Caron Butler catches the ball and shoots.
Lu Yu's interference followed.
The basketball flew toward the basket in a high arc. Everyone held their breath and stared at the basketball flying in the air.
"tie!"
"beep!"
The sound of the iron and the whistle of the end of the game sounded at the same time, announcing that the Gonzaga Bulldogs had won the game.
Albert Morin knelt on one knee on the floor and covered his face with his jersey. No one knew whether he was crying under the jersey, but when he took off the jersey, his eyes could be seen red.
.
Caron Butler lay directly on the floor. He didn't want to get up. He didn't even check whether the ball went in after the shot.
Lu Yu just sat down next to him, looked at Caron Butler beside him, stretched out his hand, and Butler also stretched out his hand, and held it tightly.
No one on Gonzaga celebrated the victory.
Because although I won this game, I won too badly.
…
At the end of the game, the Gonzaga Bulldogs won the Big East Championship and advanced to the Final Four!
After the players from both sides left the field, Albert Morin found Lu Yu, and the two hugged. Morin whispered in Lu Yu's ear: "I apologize to you for my recklessness at the beginning."
Lu Yu just smiled.
Caron Butler also came over and hugged Lu Yu.
But nothing was said.
The game is over. For him, this is only his first year in Connecticut. He still has a chance. Next time, he must hit that damn basketball in front of Lu Yu.
Suddenly he turned around and looked at Lu Yu who was cutting the ropes of the basket net——
