king of defenders

Chapter 288 The Battle of the Final Four ([-])
The head coach of the University of Arizona couldn't sit still, stood up, stared at the players on the sidelines, and emphasized: "It's okay, play steadily and defend well."

Several players nodded silently and launched a counterattack.

The University of Arizona's offense is still not in a hurry, and it is very patient. The 30-second offensive time has been delayed until only 8 seconds are left to start the offense.

A few passes passed the ball to Cox, who dribbled a step forward, then half-turned and hit the board dry.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the score was 6 points.

"It's okay, it's time for us to attack." Meng Yun yelled at Gordon, took the ball in the backcourt, and quickly came to the frontcourt. The opponent's defense was still rigorous, but also a little more aggressive. Evan was fighting against the opponent in the low post. Some players wrestled, everyone else was running, pulling each other covertly, body collisions were frequent.

Even Meng Yun felt it, because Hatton, who was guarding him, had a cold light in his eyes and looked eager to try, like a wild beast. Once he found the slightest weakness in Meng Yun, he would pounce on him.

Meng Yun took a deep breath and was not surprised. There were only a few minutes left. This was the most critical moment. Not to mention the University of Arizona, even Davidson College began to work hard.

"Pick and roll." Meng Yun gestured.

Evan came up to pick and roll, but Meng Yun still made a breakthrough.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the University of Arizona frowned and shouted: "Switch, switch quickly, don't mess up, and be careful not to miss anyone."

Several University of Arizona players were not slow to react. They blocked Meng Yun's passing route first, and then blocked Meng Yun. They switched defenses and assisted defense very quickly.

Seeing this, Meng Yun knew that it would be difficult to easily create opportunities for his teammates. However, when he switched defenses, it was no longer Hatton or Cox who was defending him, but the opponent's backup power forward. Although it is very large, it is a bit slow, and it can't jump very much.Meng Yun had observed it, but the other party didn't skip it much.

"Alright."

Meng Yun grinned, retreated slightly, and then pulled back abruptly.

Sure enough, the opponent's backup power forward reacted a bit slower and couldn't jump up. Even though he was taller than Meng Yun, he hardly interfered with Meng Yun at all.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net.

The point difference became 4 points again.

The head coach of the University of Arizona looked down, knowing that there were still loopholes in the lineup that relied on the mix of the main force and the substitute, and it might be difficult to block the opponent. He made a decisive decision, replaced the substitute players, and sent the main lineup.

Here, Mason Carr also made substitutions, replacing Andy, Ronald, and Patrick Qiqi.

In this way, both sides are the main lineup, and the University of Arizona's defense has obviously improved to another level, but the Wildcats are not bad here, and they were not suppressed by the opponent like they were in the first 7 minutes of the second half. Meng Yun's breakthrough was very good. Sharp, Evan, Andy, Ronald, Patrick also played a role.

In the next two or three minutes, Meng Yun did not score, but Evan scored a two-pointer, and Andy assisted Ronald to make a mid-range shot. Unknowingly, the Wildcats had chased the point difference to only 3 points. .

"beep"

The University of Arizona called a timeout.

In the auditorium, the fans stood up in unison. There were only 2 minutes left in the game, and the point difference was only 2 points.

After a moment, the pause ends.

The players from both sides came back with determination on their faces.

The University of Arizona attacked, the ball came to the frontcourt quickly, they slowed down, passed the ball a few times, and gave it to small forward Johnson, Johnson held the ball, lowered his center of gravity, accelerated suddenly, and hugged the ball like a truck Generally attacking the inside, his physical fitness is very good, knocking Ronald away and lifting the ball.

Snapped!
beep!
Thugs, blow the whistle.

The referee pointed at Patrick, gave him a slugger foul, and signaled Johnson to take two free throws.

"Damn it, it was just a little bit." Patrick was annoyed, very unwilling, just a little bit of a clean block, it would be nice if the ball was blocked.

"Don't think so much, protect the rebound." Meng Yun said.

Patrick nodded.

But what makes Patrick depressed is that Johnson actually made two free throws and didn't give him a chance to grab a rebound. Seeing that the point difference turned into 4 points again, he couldn't help worrying.

"The ball." Evan wanted the ball for singles, but the opponent's defense was quick, and Evan had to split the ball and give it to the outside again.

Meng Yun controlled the ball, gestured to his teammates to slow down, and then still made a breakthrough, exceptionally resolute, a change of direction accelerated, and the terrifying speed exploded, it seemed to be a point or two faster than usual, haha Startled, he retreated quickly, but it was still too late to stop Meng Yun.

"Be careful."

"Stop him."

In the auditorium, the fans shouted.

After Meng Yun passed Hatton, he took three big strides, slowed down slightly, and plunged into the three-second zone. The two insiders of the University of Arizona were already blocking the front, and Hatton was behind.

For a moment, Meng Yun was completely surrounded.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, an orange shadow flew out from the crowd.

People followed the shadow and saw a person standing outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. The orange shadow landed in his hand, moved with his hand, raised his wrist, and shook it slightly.

Swish!
Go in, three points.

"Roar!" The fans went crazy.

Putting his hands down, Evan smiled.

Meng Yun was also very happy, and rushed to Evan: "Captain, you cast beautifully."

"Hehe, it was you who passed it on beautifully. I thought you wouldn't be able to pass it on." Evan smiled, "But you still passed it on, and you gave it just right."

"It's also good luck. I can't see anyone at all. I just throw it to the top of the arc based on my feeling." Meng Yun took some risks this time, but luckily it succeeded.

This goal was scored, and the point difference became 1 point.

The opponent called for approval, and there were only a few tens of seconds left in the game. Both sides had an opportunity to attack. For the University of Arizona, although they still had a one-point lead, it was dangerous.

At this time, the entire arena became quiet, and the fans stared at the field without blinking, with nervous expressions, some anticipation and some fear.

How exactly?
"beep"

Pause ends.

The two sides come back and the University of Arizona attacks.

There are only 43 seconds left in the game, and the University of Arizona is not in a hurry to attack. They want to completely exhaust the 30-second attack time, and do not leave enough time for Davidson College to play an attack calmly.

Maybe it was too careful, or too nervous. Although the University of Arizona used up 30 seconds of attack time in this attack, it failed to score. Patrick received the rebound and quickly passed it to Meng Yun.

"Ten seconds left."

"It's the last minute."

"Must score this goal!"
