Junior Basketball says

Chapter 440 The last blow
When Paul was called for a foul, the entire U.S. men's basketball team hadn't reacted. They didn't wake up until Xu Hao made a super long three-pointer. Many players, including Paul, were ready to ask the referee for an explanation.

Any fouls at this time must be very cautious, one carelessness will change the final result of the game, so before the players of the US men's basketball team came to ask for an explanation, the three referees had already come to the technical table and began to watch the replay of the camera.After repeated confirmation, there is nothing wrong with Paul's thug foul, and there is nothing wrong with the linesman's whistle.

When the referee made the gesture of adding a penalty, the players on the field of the American men's basketball team became excited. They surrounded the referee and kept saying: "This is just normal physical contact!" "He did it on purpose, you didn't notice Is it?" The client, Paul, said anxiously, "I'm sure I didn't hit him, this is a complete conspiracy!"

The referees looked at Paul like a fool, thinking they were blind?Although Paul didn't do it on purpose, Xu Hao obviously made Paul a foul within the scope allowed by the rules. Who made him jump too fast and then stretched out his hand?No matter which angle the playback is, it can be clearly seen that this is a thug foul, which can stand any test.

The referee waved away all the big stars of the American men's basketball team, and still insisted on making the gesture of adding penalties. The old K on the sidelines hugged his head in pain. Now the outcome of the game is in Xu Hao's hands.If he misses the free throw, it’s okay, there are only a few tenths of a second left in the time, and the timing will start when he misses the free throw, and it will probably be over when he gets the ball.But if Xu Hao hits the free throw, then the Huaxia men's basketball team will beat the United States by 1 point and advance to the Olympic men's basketball finals!
To put it bluntly, this is all the fault of the US men's basketball team. If they had done a better job in all the details and fully grasped every scoring opportunity, they would not have reached this point at all, let alone because of this. Feel regret.

The Huaxia players are also very excited, but their excitement is not the same as that of the American men's basketball team.For them, the chance to beat the US men's basketball team is simply an unbelievable dream, but now this dream has become a reality.As long as Xu Hao grasps this free throw opportunity, they can go one step further on the basis of reaching the semi-finals.

But at this moment, Xu Hao's heart was calm. He knew very well that he had to keep his inner peace at this time. Excessive excitement would only make him lose the chance of a free throw lore.With Huaxia's strength and state, this can be said to be the only chance to defeat the United States. Although there are only 5 minutes in overtime, the team will definitely not be able to grasp this opportunity, and it will be tantamount to losing.

Compared with Huaxia, the American men's basketball team has more fans in the British Isles. When the referee signaled Paul's thug to foul, there were deafening boos from the sidelines. Many fans were dissatisfied with the referee's call.Some neutral fans also joined the ranks of booing the referee. Of course, their idea was very simple, that is, to watch another 5 minutes of overtime.

However, the referees were unmoved at all. After dissuading the players of the American men's basketball team, they signaled everyone to stand up and let Xu Hao go to the free throw line for free throws.Before Xu Hao made a free throw, Deng Huade replaced Wang Shipeng with Wang Zhizhi, so that if Xu Hao made a free throw, he could grab the rebound immediately and directly point the ball into the basket, which is also an added insurance.

When Xu Hao walked to the free throw line, there were five people standing on both sides. China had Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, while the United States had Durant, Chandler and Love. They were the highest lineups in their respective teams. player of.

The referee threw the ball to Xu Hao. Xu Hao patted it, took a deep breath, and steadily sent the ball into the basket as if he had practiced it thousands of times on the training ground.However, what followed was a whistle from the referee: free throws do not count, try again.

This confused everyone except Durant.During the timeout, Old K pulled him aside to give him instructions and asked him to advance to the line so that the free throws would not count, thereby disrupting Xu Hao's free throw rhythm.So when Xu Hao took action, his left foot stepped into the line. The movement was so big that the referee didn't need to make a judgment at all and just let Xu Hao take another penalty.

Except for the old K who gave the order and Durant who was responsible for the execution, everyone thought it was just an accident. Such things on the basketball court are not uncommon, but they are relatively rare. Xu Hao didn't think that Durant did it on purpose.

However, there was no ripple in his heart because of this, and he calmly stood on the free throw line again.After getting the ball, Xu Hao took a deep breath, patted the ball habitually, stood up straight, raised his hand, shot, and hit the ball.

When the basketball fell into the hoop, the audience was silent, and seconds later erupted into loud noise.No one cares about the last 0.5 seconds left in the game. They only know one thing: the United States, the world's basketball hegemony, lost in the Olympic Games again after losing to Argentina in 2004, and continued to harvest gold medals in the Olympic men's basketball event.
However, the players on the field still did not relax, and maybe 0.5 seconds could create a miracle. Old K also called the team's last timeout. After arranging the tactics for the players, he began to pray to God silently. The only thing that can be done.Judging from the current situation, if the American men's basketball team wants to win, it really can only rely on God's help.

As for the Huaxia men's basketball team, there is no need for Deng Huade's instructions. Everyone understands the importance of this last bit of time. As long as they hold this time, they will win.Although everyone feels very tired, the excitement in their hearts still makes their faces show a sick blush. For the arrangement of the head coach, they will fully implement without any discount.

After the game restarted, Huaxia put up a suffocating defense. Kobe received the ball at a position similar to Xu Hao's. Unfortunately, his long-range shooting skills were far from Xu Hao's, and there was no time for him to play. Adjust, after getting the ball, you can only shoot immediately.This desperate three-pointer "bang" hit the basket, and then bounced behind the backboard. The moment after Kobe shot, 0.5 seconds had passed, which also meant that they had no chance.

Xu Hao stood not far from Kobe, with a relieved smile on his face, and the game was finally settled. 102 to 101, Huaxia defeated the United States unexpectedly, and advanced to the Olympic men's basketball final for the first time in team history!
