Chapter 22 The decisive moment
Harden succeeded repeatedly today, and now he is even more jealous.
At this last moment, the Sun Devils now have no control over what they can do with him alone.
After all, there is only a three-point difference now. If they score, the Wildcats' advantage and momentum will be gone.
Harden started asking for the ball as soon as he got stuck on Su Yi. He doesn't take any opponent seriously now because he has never encountered an opponent in the NCAA who can limit him.
However, Su Yi stuck to Harden like a catfish, blocking Harden's left side with his long arm, restricting the passing of the basketball.
Brother Deng didn't think much about it. As usual, he could catch the basketball by shaking it left and right, and then score in his usual way.
Harden moved around, but Su Yi in front of him didn't lose his position at all.
It is unimaginable that the solid defensive steps and quick and trivial lateral movements are entangled in front of Harden, and the basketball cannot be passed.
Friction.. Friction..
Rubbing in front of the smooth brother Deng. (The current brother Deng is not a bearded man, but a young and handsome, smooth and creamy boy who rides an electric bicycle without breaking the rules).
Harden looked at Su Yi and found that his eyes were very firm and he was very confident in his defense.
And his footsteps...well, they are very distinctive. I can’t tell what the characteristics are. In short, they look strange. The most important thing is that this kind of defense really prevents me. Now I really can’t catch the ball.
.
Where did you learn this secret martial art?
True to form, Sun Devils power forward Jeff Ayers came out of their usual pick-and-roll.
Jeff Ayers stood still in front of Su Yi with his hands tied, and then Harden quickly bypassed Jeff Ayers and passed a cross pass.
Nothing is different from what was planned.
Then..
Snap!
In the flash of lightning, a yellow phantom flashed across the screen, and Su Yi came over to defend and confiscated the basketball.
Before Harden and Jeff Ayers could figure out the true development of the matter, Su Yi had already made a long pass, and Curry easily scored two points on the fast break.
Harden and Jeff Ayers were stunned.
How did this kid slip past a strong man like Jeff Ayers like a loach?
With such a narrow space, it’s so seamless!
Su Yi looked at their surprised eyes, smiled lightly, said nothing, and thought to himself, "The legendary puppy pace is just a normal operation!"
After the score difference returned to five points, there was a big difference from three points. At least within one round, the Sun Devils could not recover the score.
Belk Arena finally felt relieved, and a wave of shouts rang out once.
Amid the inspiring shouts, Curry attacked with the ball.
The players of the Sun Devils followed the coach's instructions just now and guarded the zone defense like wooden stakes.
Su Yi received the basketball from Curry outside the three-point line, and Lovedale pulled out to cover.
Jeff Ayers wanted to catch up and defend Su Yi, but was blocked by Lovedale.
Su Yi was left short on the outside.
Was left empty...
Su Yi smiled knowingly and raised the ball from outside the three-point line.
Harden wanted to cover up the defense, but it was too late to catch up, so Harden had to wave his hand symbolically and then watched the basketball fly out with his eyes.
After a wonderful arc, the basketball hit the net.
The score difference reached eight points, and the game was about to end with four and a half minutes.
The sound of early celebrations could already be heard in the stadium.
The melody of "We are the" has already sounded in the stadium.
Because as long as you survive these four and a half minutes, you will be one step closer to this year's NCAA finals.
The Sun Devils continued to attack with the ball, and Curry and the resurrected Su Yi directly pressed forward.
Seeing that there was not much time left, Harden didn't think much and directly faced Curry, and the two began to compete.
The two lottery picks were racing toward the frontcourt like two motorcycles.
Brother Deng's physical talent is not limited. Under such a high-intensity confrontation, he did not choose to pass the ball, but used his momentum to bring the ball to the frontcourt.
At this time, Jeff Ayers had already stuck Lovedale on the baseline, opened his big hands and started to ask for the ball.
ton!
ton!
ton!
Although Jeff Ayers is a strong inside man, Lovedale is also dark and tough. Although he is a little shorter, his tough chassis makes him worthy of the confrontation.
The muscles of the two people collided fiercely, and the man was on top of the man. Jeff Ayers still gathered all his strength to meet the man.
Lovedale withstood the frontal impact, but Jeff Ayers cleverly used a step change and slipped past the baseline.
Lovedale was turned around and swayed over.
Perhaps this is the legendary hardness yet softness.
Jeff Ayers saw the empty basket in front of him, raised the ball and took a shot.
Before he could celebrate for passing Lovedale, a pair of long arms had already been stretched out just as the ball was about to be released.
Snap!
Su Yi, who arrived in time, gave him a slap in the face.
neat and tidy,
Even before the basketball is fully released.
This extreme lateral speed, super defensive awareness, and unstoppable defensive coverage...
It was beyond Jeff Ayers' knowledge as a student player.
Jeff Ayers is in disarray, this guy is really everywhere!
And this handsome big hat directly knocked away the last momentum of the Sun Devils.
The fans screamed in the Belk Arena!
They didn't even consider the feelings of their boyfriends at all...
It's just that Su Yi has a completely boring expression. He has long been used to all this, and his expression has not changed at all.
Hi, it’s just a woman!
The Wildcats like to switch attacks the most. They come to the frontcourt and make a few simple coordinations. Su Yi's peripheral vision notices Curry running from the outside and makes a no look pass...
Curry caught the ball and shot it in one go.
Before Brother Deng could react, he had already shot.
The three-pointer hit the net.
Su Yi showed an old father's smile towards Curry, and Curry winked at Su Yi cutely.
However, the fans' screams and shouts suddenly came from the gym.
The two people just expressed their affirmation to each other!
Su Yi always felt that the girls at the scene always seemed to have some strange ideas...
This time it feels like the roof of the stadium is going to be blown off...
In fact, it is because the two people have already developed a chemical reaction after long-term training!
Su Yi can always observe Curry's movements immediately and then pass the ball over.
Second by second, it was the Sun Devils' turn to attack.
Su Yi defended tightly in front of Harden, like a catfish without dreams.
The Sun Devils' inside line moved forward to set up a pick-and-roll, but Su Yi was able to break it easily.
After all, the Sun Devils have never encountered such a difficult opponent without the ball. As an amateur college team, the discussion on cracking is very lackluster!
Brother Deng was also unable to exert all his energy. He wanted to beat Su Yi alone, but in the end he couldn't catch the ball in the right position.
Until the last minute, Harden received the ball and forced Su Yi to shoot.
However..
when!
Chapter completed!
