Chapter 225 Winners and Losers
Amid cheers, Zhou Ya, a boy wearing the No. 22 jersey, made a three-pointer.
Zhou Ya leads by 3 points.
The pressure came to Changde.
Tang Su took a deep breath and became nervous. A 3-pointer was made at the beginning of the second quarter, which was a very bad start, because if the opponent got into the mood, he might make 3-pointers in a row.
Next, Changde had the ball, and Xue Yao controlled the ball and organized the offense.
Tang Su saw that Xue Yao didn't seem nervous. Instead, he took the ball slowly and leisurely. He didn't even choose to attack himself, but passed the ball from outside the three-point line. This time he passed the ball to No. 17, a boy standing at the center position.
No. 17 turned around and shot but missed. The basketball hit the rim and was then rebounded by a player of Zhou Ya who was over 190cm tall.
After the opponent grabbed the ball, he threw it directly to his small forward No. 11. No. 11 made a fast break three-step layup and scored another 2 points.
This time, the score gap widened to 5 points.
"Oh my God...we are going to lose." Tang Su's roommate couldn't sit still anymore.
In their opinion, a 5-point gap is huge, especially since the opponent seems to be quite strong.
"Okay, stop singing your praises, it's only the first half." Tang Su pushed Chen Yi. When watching a football game, there are winners and losers. It's impossible to win every time.
At this time, a burst of cheers came from the stands. Almost all the girls from Changde Middle School present were shouting "Xue Yao"'s name. It seemed as if the team playing in the basketball game was not a team, but Xue Yao alone.
Xue Yao also heard many people calling him. He glanced towards the stands, but did not react any more and soon continued with the game.
He took the ball from his teammate and quickly dribbled it across half court.
The person responsible for defending him was Zhou Ya's No. 6, a boy who was taller than Xue Yao, at least 5CM taller.
Xue Yao tried to dribble the ball past the opponent's defense and break into the inside, but failed the first time. Then he took the ball back to the outside. This time he did not pass the ball immediately, but controlled the ball himself on the outside. Suddenly he jumped up, ready to throw the ball, and No. 6 also jumped with him, ready to block the shot.
The ball was not thrown.
Xue Yao then changed his strategy. He turned around quickly and threw the ball to No. 15.
But No. 15 did not choose to attack, but quickly passed the ball back to Xue Yao.
And in this gap, a flaw appeared in No. 6's defense.
Xue Yao jumped from the three-point line and threw a three-pointer with a perfect arc.
The ball went in! The students at Changde were excited. Everyone stood up and screamed, applauded, and Tang Su also applauded.
"Xue Yao, Xue Yao..." In the stands, the girls shouted Xue Yao's name again.
The score quickly caught up and Changde was only two points behind.
Next, the two teams entered into a state of offensive and defensive confrontation, you scored a goal, I scored a goal, both sides focused on offense, and the defense was not very strict.
So when the first half ended, the score was 45:43, with Changde trailing by two points.
Two points is not a big difference. In a basketball game, such a score difference can be said to be very small, so everyone can accept the result of the first half.
After that was a 15-minute halftime break, and the players left the court to drink water or discuss strategies for the second half.
Tang Suze chatted and ate melon seeds with his roommates.
"I think we Changde will definitely win in the second half." Yang Xiaoyi said confidently.
