The second half of the game has begun.
Lu Yu tried everything on the outside, looking like he was on fire, but he just couldn't break through the inside.
The Qingbei team became increasingly anxious as the game progressed, leading to more and more mistakes. Shu Juan committed a series of fouls and was ejected from the game in the third quarter for her sixth foul.
The Qingbei team then faced even greater difficulties.
With less than a minute left in the game, Qingbei team was down by 16 points.
Unsurprisingly, it was just a waste of time.
Lu Yu stared at the basketball bouncing between Weng Pei's hands. Weng Pei's breathing was short and shallow, clearly indicating that he was running out of energy. However, the focused light in Lu Yu's eyes made Weng Pei dare not relax. It was the gaze of a hunter.
After taking a step back, Weng Pei accelerated and feinted to the left to break through, but just as the basketball was about to bounce back to his right hand, he missed.
Lu Yu steals the basketball. Her sudden acceleration is like a surging wave, her white and blue team uniform a shadow of her battle robe, and the sound of the wind she creates is a shout directed towards the entire stadium.
After two probing steps and a large shoulder feint, Lu Yu used a series of quick shifts in his center of gravity to shake off the two defenders who were following up from the Jiang team.
Time is running out.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball to the three-point line and immediately took a shot.
The final whistle blew immediately.
The basketball traced a long arc before falling into the basket after the whistle blew.
Lu Yu stubbornly secured the final three points, earning thunderous applause from the audience—a testament to their respect and excitement.
Qingbei team lost the second game by 13 points, but it seems that they are facing a more difficult situation than losing a game.
There is still no accurate information about Sun Meng's injury. How to cope with the upcoming league matches is the biggest challenge for Qingbei team. The next match, a do-or-die game between Qingbei team and Jiang team, will be a crucial game for Qingbei team.
During the post-match handshake, Weng Pei scratched her head a couple of times, looking like she had finally made up her mind, and asked, "Can I watch Sun Meng with you?"
“No.” Chu Feiyu said calmly, squinting at Weng Pei. Her quiet demeanor was quite different from the fierce and aggressive image Weng Pei had imagined.
Weng Pei froze for a moment, unsure of how to respond.
Lu Yu knew that Chu Feiyu was holding back a lot of anger. She wiped a bead of sweat from Chu Feiyu's brow with her wristband, then patted Weng Pei's shoulder. "Xiao Pei, you should go back to Jiang City with the team. It's not easy for you to arrange your schedule to visit Sun Meng alone. Don't feel guilty, it's not your fault. I'll contact you after we've seen Sun Meng."
"Oh...oh, your contact information hasn't changed. I'll wait for your call." Weng Pei looked at Lu Yu, somewhat surprised. "You...you weren't this talkative before."
Lu Yu forced a smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
The Qingbei team members hurriedly left the venue and rushed to the hospital.
Just as a group of people were entering the ward, the doctor came over with the test results.
"No bones were broken, ah."
Coach Wang visibly breathed a sigh of relief as soon as the doctor uttered a sentence.
"Although the injury is not serious, it is a sprained tendon and I still need to rest."
The doctor was panting heavily after only a few words, making Coach Wang so anxious he rolled his eyes. "But she still has a basketball game—"
"You can't compete in the short term." The doctor interrupted Coach Wang impatiently. "If the tendons in your wrist aren't properly healed, it can easily lead to chronic problems. You'll need two weeks of rest to fully recover."
The mixed news forced the Qingbei team to face reality.
In the crucial semifinal match, Qingbei team must achieve an offensive breakthrough without Sun Meng.
With a clear one-on-one disadvantage in the paint, the team had to focus on outside penetration. Chu Feiyu, as a shooting guard, seemed to be the only hope for Qingbei to break the deadlock.
