Xue Zhuang, Liu Dingding, Tian Zhongbao, Wang Yisheng, plus Shi Lang.
All the main players of Yucun came on stage, and Shi Zhenxing had only one request for them: "Completely destroy the fighting spirit of Leizhai!"
These guys rushed onto the court screaming, as energetic as if the game had just begun.
On the other side of Lei Village, everyone was sweating profusely with their hands on their knees, panting heavily and unable to move their legs. Only Pan Qingguo among the players on the field was in relatively better condition, but his inside strength was far inferior to Pan Lei, and he could not compete with Xue Zhuang.
.
When Xue Zhuang saw that the old man still had the strength to get in position with him, he immediately waved for the ball. After receiving the ball, he turned around and dunked with one hand, reducing the point difference to 5 points without any pressure.
Men, women, old and children in Yucun cheered in unison and never stopped for a moment.
The cheerleaders of Lei Village were also in full force, beating gongs, drums and rice bowls, causing birds and beasts to flee in panic for dozens of miles around.
Taking advantage of the dead ball, Lei Zhai proposed a substitution. Pan Lei said that he had rested and it was time to stick with his brothers until the end and replaced Pan Qingguo.
Long Xiaochuan patted Long Zaiyuan on the shoulder: "Uncle, how about you take a rest first?"
"No," Long Zaiyuan shook his head and waved his hands, insisting on standing up: "I can still fight."
At this time, the referee urged them to serve quickly and not to waste time.
Long Xiaochuan went to the outside to get the ball: "But I feel that your physical strength will be difficult to sustain until the end."
As soon as the basketball was passed to Long Zaiyuan's hands, he immediately straightened his back and dribbled the ball freely: "Don't worry, when my body can't bear it, my willpower will help me."
His eyes swept across the auditorium of Yucun, briefly stopping on the face of a beautiful woman, and then shouted to his teammates on the court: "You guys, do your best!"
The basketball was handed over to Long Xiaochuan again, and the others were still open.
This time Liu Dingding came to help defend, and he was no longer given the opportunity to score based on his personal ability.
Long Xiaochuan did not panic. Faced with a double-team from two people, the basketball hit the ground through the gap and passed back to Long Zaiyuan.
Tianzhong Bao saw that Long Zaiyuan was unguarded, so he quickly came over to supplement his defense.
Long Zaiyuan immediately passed the ball to Sun Changxing. Sun Changxing attracted the defense and then passed it to Luo Gaozhan. Luo Gaozhan directly passed it to Pan Lei inside.
In more than ten seconds, the basketball was passed around in the hands of the Leizhai players. Seeing that the violation was approaching at 24 seconds, Pan Lei took action.
Commentator A, who was holding his breath to figure out his intention, finally spoke: "Pan Lei, Pan Lei is going to shoot! Can Xue Zhuang cover it? Oops, the ball went straight up and down and was blocked by the basket, haha!"
Commentator B leisurely added the shot: "Pan Lei shot and grabbed the ball by himself. The ball is still in Lei Zhai's hands. The 24-second clock starts again."
After hearing their words, everyone understood that the Lei Zhai team members were stalling for time.
They have a 5-point lead. As long as they keep smashing the backboard and basket like this for the next 2 minutes and 26 seconds, and then grab the rebound and control the ball, wouldn't they win?
Shi Zhenxing's eyebrows jumped wildly and he shouted at Xue Zhuang: "Backboard, get me a rebound!"
Long Xiaochuan sneered: "Humph, you want to grab a rebound? Then we have to shoot!"
When the basketball was back in his hands, he waved at the sideline, and the other four people immediately moved closer.
The five of them stood in a tight row along the sideline, facing the audience.
The players and spectators inside and outside the court are all confused. What is this?
Many people even wondered whether the members of the Lei Village were planning to admit defeat and bow to the audience like stage actors.
This is Long Zaiyuan's so-called unique skill - human wall warfare.
Long Xiaochuan hugged the ball and shouted "one", "two" and "three", and then quickly handed it to Sun Changxing on the right.
When Sun Changxing got the ball, he also counted "one", "two" and "three" loudly, and then handed the ball to Luo Gaozhan on the right, and so on.
They all passed the ball seamlessly from hand to hand, held the ball in their arms, and used their bodies to block the Amemura players from being taken away until the referee blew the whistle for a 24-second violation.
Everyone at the scene was wondering: "I have played basketball and watched basketball for so many years, but I have never seen anything like this."
But this is exactly in line with the rules of basketball. If there is no violation, it is not a foul.
This move killed another 24 seconds, leaving only 1 minute and 52 seconds left before the end of the game.
Shi Zhenxing suddenly felt uneasy: "There are not many offensive opportunities left. Can we still catch up with these 5 points?"
Amemura's players on the field also had this concern. Tanaka Takara shot a three-pointer from the outside in an attempt to end the offense in the shortest possible time.
But the busier he got, the more chaotic he became. When the Leizhai people hardly defended, he actually missed two three-pointers in a row. Finally, Xue Zhuang couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the rebound over Pan Lei's head and hooked the ball directly, and then
Score 2 points.
Lei Zhai served again. Long Xiaochuan and the others wanted to replicate the delaying method just now. Shi Lang had an idea and asked Wang Yisheng to foul directly.
After two consecutive fouls, they sent Pan Lei to the free throw line.
Everything went as Shi Lang expected. Pan Lei's free throw shooting rate was extremely poor and he missed both free throws.
Amemura got another opportunity to attack. They passed the ball long and made a fast break, scoring 2 points again.
At this time, there were 1 minute and 44 seconds left before the end of the game, and the score was 49:48. Amemura shortened the point difference to 1 point.
Long Xiaochuan changed his strategy and pretended to use the "human wall tactics" to delay time, while he suddenly attacked the opponent's basket.
At that time, everyone in Yucun hoped to pin the foul on Pan Lei, who had a low shooting percentage. Unexpectedly, Sun Changxing suddenly passed the ball to Long Xiaochuan.
Shi Lang, Wang Yisheng, and Xue Zhuang came to defend at the same time. Long Xiaochuan forced a layup and drew a foul, and got two free throw opportunities.
He made two free throws, extending the advantage to three points.
Long Xiaochuan almost carried the team forward by himself, but Yucun equalized the score in the last minute (51:51).
Yucun Wang Yisheng once again hit a 3-pointer against Luo Gaozhan.
Long Zaitian, who had not interfered with the game direction during the whole game, said: "Lei Zhai substitution!"
Pan Qingguo, Sun Shengli, Yang Hongbing, and Luo Xiangdong all appeared on the stage, replacing Pan Lei, Long Zaiyuan and other four people who were completely limp.
Long Zaitian shouted to Long Xiaochuan: "Son! I'm old and can't hit anymore. You must defend this goal for me and save the face of Lei Village!"
Long Xiaochuan looked at his four uncles who were playing on the same team for the first time and hurriedly assigned defensive tasks.
But now it's Yucun's turn not to be anxious.
Liu Dingding dribbled and controlled the ball slowly, and waited until the countdown was 38 seconds before passing it to Xue Zhuang.
Xue Zhuang once again pressed Pan Qingguo to score the goal (51:53).
Long Xiaochuan gritted his teeth, forced a breakthrough and drew a foul again, and made two free throws to tie the score.
With 29 seconds left in the game, Yucun was in possession of the ball. Everyone was extremely nervous. Shi Lang no longer dared to hope for the final rebound and ended the game, so he directed Liu Dingding to pass the ball to Xue Zhuang.
Liu Dingding steadily controlled the ball to kill time, and still waited until there were 2 seconds left in the attack time before passing the ball.
Xue Zhuang was raising his hand for the ball, nervously preparing for the final shot to end the game, when suddenly a violent roar came from his ears: "It's not over, is it?!"
Immediately afterwards, he felt that there was nothing behind him. Pan Qingguo knew that he could not defend himself, so he actually went around to intercept the pass.
The basketball was slapped to the ground by this uncle. When Shi Lang rushed over to pick it up, it was already a 24-second violation and the ball was exchanged.
In the last 5 seconds before the end, Long Xiaochuan decisively used his last timeout opportunity!
