Both the Jiang team and the Qingbei team were in top form, neck and neck, neither giving an inch.

The failed interception didn't frustrate Chu Feiyu. She was already used to all kinds of setbacks; she wasn't just fearless like a newborn calf, but rather she dared to challenge even wolves and tigers.

Faced with Chu Feiyu's many suicidal proactive defenses, Weng Pei also had a headache. The key was that Chu Feiyu kept trying to steal the ball, which forced her to pass the ball cautiously. As a result, she had to resort to many long-range shots out of necessity. Her shooting touch was like being held back by a sticky swamp, and her outside shooting percentage was getting lower and lower.

Qingbei team relied on Lu Yu, Yang Liu, and Shu Juan's quick passes inside to keep the score close.

At the end of the first half, Jiang's team was leading by 4 points.

The second half of the game has begun.

Weng Pei was still closely guarded by Chu Feiyu on the outside. She took a step to the left, but the feint failed to fool Chu Feiyu. Weng Pei immediately turned to the right and dribbled the ball. Chu Feiyu's center of gravity seemed to have not had time to adjust. Just when Weng Pei thought she had successfully broken through, the basketball in her hand went empty.

When was she...?

Chu Feiyu managed to seize the opportunity to turn around and instead of advancing, retreated, using the speed and position of her retreat to steal the basketball.

This was the first ball that Ong Pei was intercepted by Chu Feiyu single-handedly, which surprised everyone.

After stealing the ball, Chu Feiyu ran like a whirlwind, leaving everyone behind. She had just reached the three-point line when she took a shot without slowing down.

Coach Wang, standing on the sidelines, was so angry he stomped his feet. "There's no defense keeping up, what's the rush!"

Coach Wang was almost afraid to watch the basketball fly out.

"Thump—"

"Wow--!"

Cheers erupted from the stands of the Qingbei team.

Chu Feiyu hit a three-pointer and grinned at Coach Wang, who was standing outside the sideline.

After several rounds, the Qingbei team stabilized the situation.

The final minute of the game.

Lu Yu nimbly weaved past Jiang's two defenders with her signature butterfly-like footwork. In the final moments, her trembling fingertips reminded her that her stamina was waning. Lu Yu gritted her teeth and, in coordination with Yang Liu, exchanged passes and made a cut, finally managing to penetrate the paint.

Jiang's center lunged at Lu Yu in the paint. Instead of retreating, Lu Yu took a step forward and broke through to the right. Just as they were about to collide, Lu Yu's ankle seemed to turn at a right angle, instantly changing direction. He stretched out his left hand and pushed the basketball with one hand. The force was not great, but it was enough to skillfully put the ball into the basket.

"Qingbei team has tied the score!" Liu Du shouted.

"Lu Yu's left-handed shot is impossible to defend," Luo Yan exclaimed.

Feng Xu nervously analyzed the situation on the field, "There are less than forty seconds left. Let's see if Qingbei team can hold on in this round of defense."

Jiang's point guard dribbled the ball past half-court, her footwork unsteady and chaotic, clearly affected by fatigue and nervousness. She failed to break through Lu Yu's blockade three times. Time was running out, and she could not hold the ball for too long, so she could only try a risky long pass.

Just as Jiang's point guard passed the ball to Weng Pei, the basketball was intercepted by a figure.

Chu Feiyu was even faster than Weng Pei!

Chu Feiyu intercepted the basketball!

Since most of the players from both teams were concentrated just past the halfway line, the speed was very fast, whether it was counter-attacking or retreating.

Chu Feiyu passed the ball to Lu Yu before Weng Pei could intercept it, and Lu Yu caught it steadily.

In that crucial play, Lu Yu went berserk, using two crossovers combined with a quick left-side shoulder feint and weight shift to dribble past two Jiang team defenders.

Their rapid breakthroughs created a time advantage for the Qingbei team.

Before Jiang's defensive positioning was properly set up, Lu Yu made a long pass from the outside. Shu Juan, who was prepared, maintained her off-ball movement speed and was the first to reach the basket, where she jumped with great force.

Shu Juan's loud shouts, the vibration of the basketball hoop, the sound of the basketball hitting the ground, the whistle signaling the end of the game, and the cheers from the stands all blended together.

"An alley-oop dunk! Shu Juan and Lu Yu's alley-oop! They've won the semi-final for Qingbei team. Let's congratulate Qingbei team on advancing to the final!" Liu Du's voice pierced through the clamor of the crowd.

Feng Xu glanced at Luo Yan and said, "An alleyway, Zhou Qing's signature technique."

Luo Yan chuckled softly, "Qingbei team is a team that has improved very quickly. After a few matches, our Zhouqing team has become the tool."

Liu Du said, "Qingbei team withstood the pressure. Despite Sun Meng's absence due to injury, they gritted their teeth and won the game."

Feng Xu added, "Lu Yu's all-out effort was terrifying. In this game, young player Chu Feiyu also withstood the defensive pressure, holding her own against Weng Pei in one-on-one defense and even making a crucial steal. She deserves a lot of credit. Team Jiang is a little disappointed. Weng Pei's performance was already very good, but there is still room for improvement in her physical strength in other positions."

"I hope that Team Jiang can make a comeback next year and face their old rival Team Qingbei again." Luo Yan changed the subject, "After the semi-finals, there is less than a week to adjust. Team Qingbei will face Team Yunan in the finals."

Liu Du counted the schedule. "Yes, the first match of the finals will start in four days. The Yunan team is a very well-rounded team, and they have won all the way."

Feng Xu pointed out the key point: "The matches between Qingbei Team and Yunan Team were all scheduled in the first half of the regular season, which means that Qingbei Team, after the major reshuffle of its personnel, has actually not played against Yunan Team."

"Not even one?" Luo Yan was also surprised.

“Yes, not a single one.” Liu Du was very familiar with the tournament schedule. “Qingbei and Yunan teams have been in different halves of the bracket in the playoffs, and they haven’t really met yet.”

Luo Yan's voice already carried a hint of excitement, "The final four days from now is going to be really exciting."

"Whether Sun Meng can recover from her injury and return to the Qingbei team, and what kind of clash will occur between the Yunan team and the Qingbei team, who have never played against each other before, is all unknown. Dear viewers, let's look forward to the start of the final. See you there."

Liu Du delivered his closing remarks, leaving the time for the victory celebration to the audience in the stadium.

Long, continuous cheers echoed above the stadium.
