As Feng Xu had predicted, Qingbei team's tactical setup was exactly as they had planned, with Wang Jie moving directly to the perimeter as point guard to orchestrate the offense.

Wang Jie, who hadn't played for a while, was in good form. Facing the Yu Nan team's point guard, she took two jab steps to the left before suddenly turning to the right to pass the ball. This is Wang Jie's unique style—always playing it safe. Even when passing, she adjusts to the optimal angle before acting, minimizing the possibility of interception.

The basketball hurtled towards Lu Yu. Lu Yu took a step, retrieved the ball, and immediately jumped, his mid-range shot already in motion. Lu Yu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a tall figure appeared abruptly. Lu Yu knew it was Ji Yun's block. Lu Yu quickly gathered the ball back to his chest and then tossed it backward—

With her perfect teamwork with Lu Yu, Chu Feiyu feinted past the shooting guard of the Yu Nan team with a quick shoulder movement and a burst of speed. She caught Lu Yu's pass with one hand and then jumped up to shoot without hesitation.

"Whoosh—" A fiery red ball flew toward the basket.

"Three-pointer!" Liu Du shouted. "Three-pointer made! The Qingbei team's tactical change is really effective."

"The Qingbei team coaching staff has figured it out: to open up the outside offense, they need to focus on the inside. It's quite interesting," Luo Yan said.

Feng Xu nodded and said, "The key is that the inside players are assigned to organize the offense, which is very important. The blocking and defensive pressure is definitely different between a single player organizing the offense and a double player organizing the offense. This is why the Qingbei team's offense and defense completely collapsed after Sun Meng was unable to play."

The ball possession cycle returned to the Yunan team.

Just as the Yu Nan team's point guard dribbled the ball across half-court, Wang Jie ducked and turned her head, seizing the opportunity during the ball's bounce to intercept it. Wang Jie took a step forward with the ball, only to find it empty again, and she was startled.

It was Ji Yun; the basketball was stolen by Ji Yun.

Ji Yun actually changed direction directly to steal the ball while running and attacking; what an incredible ability to change speed!

In the blink of an eye, the basketball in Ji Yun's hands was empty again—

Lu Yu, who had been following Ji Yun's changes of speed and direction, seized the opportunity when Ji Yun had just intercepted the ball and made another steal.

In just a few seconds, the basketball changed hands three times, passing through the hands of four different people.

The thrilling back-and-forth battle for the ball drew gasps from the audience.

After stealing the ball, Lu Yu ran in the opposite direction without hesitation. She knew that she had no advantage in a one-on-one fight with Ji Yun, and even if she jumped with all her might, she would likely be blocked by Ji Yun.

She had to run faster than Ji Yun!

Lu Yu left a blur, but the sound of her large strides behind her still seemed incredibly close. Despite her best efforts, Lu Yu couldn't shake off Ji Yun. Once past half-court, Lu Yu saw Yang Liu running and smiled knowingly. She immediately made a quick pass, getting the ball into the paint before Ji Yun could force her to stop.

The basketball spun rapidly and landed in Yang Liu's hands.

Yang Liu received the ball and immediately made a mid-range shot from the spot, which went in smoothly!

Most of them were left behind, and before the Yu Nan team could even get into position, there was a loud "thud".

The whole process changed so quickly that even the commentators were stunned.

"Yang and Yang Liu score!" Liu Du exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Lu Yu and Yang Liu's fast pass inside is so fast that even Ji Yun can't keep up with it."

Feng Xu chimed in, "Qingbei team's defense has become more proactive."

Luo Yan glanced at the gradually narrowing score and said, "The two teams are evenly matched in terms of interceptions and defense."

Sun Meng, sitting on the bench, breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "The fast break combination is finally paying off."

Qingbei team opened up the gap with a fast break and finally tied the score near the end of the game.

With 30 seconds remaining, Yu Nan team has possession of the ball. This presents a significant challenge for Qing Bei team's defense.

The Yunan team's point guard stopped dawdling and safely passed the ball to the Yunan team's shooting guard, who was also on the perimeter, before Wang Jie could force her to stop.

The shooting guard of the Yunan team seemed to have anticipated Chu Feiyu's synchronized jump block, and instead of taking aim, he simply tossed the ball high into the air.

The basketball was spinning rapidly toward the hoop; to anyone watching, it looked like a suicide shot.

"Bang—" The basketball bounced off the backboard.

"Oh no, under the basket—" Lu Yu whispered.

Ji Yun, who was already prepared under the basket, jumped high, and Lu Yu jumped up to block him.

Even though it was a height that Lu Yu could hardly reach, she still did her best to jump to the highest point.

Although Lu Yu failed to grab the rebound, he managed to block Ji Yun's shooting path. Ji Yun had to gather the ball back and pass it to Du Xianglan from a distance.

Yu Nan team's small forward Du Xianglan kept running, using her speed to catch the basketball and then make a layup!

Yunan team successfully scored 2 points, maintaining their 2-point lead.

The timer ticked to 9 seconds, and Lu Yu stared at the red number, her eyes burning.

In the final nine seconds, his life hung by a thread.

As soon as the whistle blew, Wang Jie didn't hesitate. She accelerated and dribbled the ball past midfield before immediately passing it to Lu Yu, who was coming to receive it.

Lu Yu had barely taken a step when Ji Yun forced her to stop. Lu Yu suddenly stepped back, twisting her ankle to control her body's direction, and a large shoulder sway shifted Ji Yun's center of gravity. Now—

Lu Yu slammed the ball to the ground, accelerated to the left, and turned, cleverly breaking through Ji Yun's blockade.

Wang Jie kept the Yu Nan team's point guard on the perimeter, forcing Du Xianglan to chase and help defend. Clearly, Yu Nan's defensive focus was primarily on Lu Yu; whenever Lu Yu broke free from Ji Yun's defense, he quickly found himself double-teamed.

Lu Yu's sharp gaze swept over Ji Yun behind her. She knew she had to pass the ball before Ji Yun caught up with her to avoid being double-teamed again. With lightning speed, she passed the ball as if she didn't need to adjust the force and direction of the shot; in an instant, the ball flew towards the outside.

Chu Feiyu runs to receive the ball, and the Yunan team's shooting guard follows suit, preparing to jump and block when Chu Feiyu makes a leaning-back motion. This is an effective way to block Chu Feiyu.

But Chu Feiyu's next move was beyond her expectations.

Chu Feiyu pushed the basketball away while running.

Running shots were Chu Feiyu's most confident shooting method, but after the league season, she had to consider team tactics and rarely used running shots anymore. After all, consistent scoring was the key.

The basketball slipped from his hands, and the final whistle blew.

The basketball streaked across the sky like a shooting star, drawing everyone's attention.

"Wow--!"

Goal!

A buzzer-beating three-pointer, and it went in!

Qingbei team won the game by one point, seizing the last opportunity.

The audience cheered loudly for the Qingbei team.

Yang Liu ran to Sun Meng in a few steps, hugged her, and cried tears of joy.

"The Qingbei team fans who left the live broadcast room in the first half are now regretting it," Liu Du said with a smile.

Luo Yan and Weng Pei, who was fully armed in the audience, exchanged a knowing glance and said, "Lu Yu really did it!"

Liu Du echoed, "Lu Yu really carried the Qingbei team to compete for the championship."

Feng Xu said, "This game was indeed very thrilling, and Qingbei team also had a tough time. Yunan team's inside pressure almost completely overwhelmed Qingbei team, but fortunately Lu Yu stepped up."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
