Chapter 104 DK's Victory
"His ability to balance in the air is simply amazing..." Robert covered his eyes, "I suddenly thought, it's a good thing this kid didn't appear in my era, otherwise if there was an opponent like him, it would be hard to defend against, and the feeling of powerlessness under the basket would make the person defending him collapse!"
Engel opened his mouth for a long time before speaking: "Before, I thought that Coach Gordon had no other choice but to let Nie Chuan play as a small forward... Now I really want to beat up that coach. Why didn't he let this kid's potential show up earlier?"
Nie Chuan closed his eyes. His body was tired, but his heart felt incomparably fulfilled.
Thank you, Reese...for seeing the ordinary me and falling in love with me with all your heart...
"Nie Chuan, leave the defense to us! Just focus on scoring." Carlo ran past Nie Chuan.
Yes, if Carlo hadn't disconnected Raven and Ashley just now, he wouldn't have been able to score so easily.
DK cooperated closely again, mobilizing Riven and Ashley's running on a large scale, and the ball was passed from Carlo to Ewing.
Today, Ewing seems to be inspired by Nie Chuan's performance. His overall movement is more flexible, and he puts great defensive pressure on the opponent's position whether in terms of horizontal or front and back space.
He shook his shoulders, then pulled his center of gravity back and broke through again.
"Well done!" Even Coach Gordon couldn't help but praise.
Then he encountered Raven, and Chuck's timely movement met Ewing. Raven rushed up unwillingly, but was blocked by Carlo.
"DK has realized the need to ensure Nie Chuan's physical strength. They want to use the little explosive power that Nie Chuan has left for scoring." Seton tapped his finger on the fence. "I have to say, Reese has very good teammates. If he were on the court, DK would be invincible. DK is very strong this year." Seton finally acknowledged DK directly.
Ben Robbins smiled. "It seems my hunch is as accurate as ever?"
Finally, the ball was passed to Nie Chuan again, and he had already cut into KSU's three-second zone.
Raven secretly cried out that something was wrong and rushed forward with all his strength.
We must not let Nie Chuan score again! With this shot, DK will overtake KSU!
Nie Chuan dribbled the ball behind his back, stopped suddenly, accelerated, and passed the opponent's center, and was about to shoot at the basket.
The audience cheered as if they were given a shot of adrenaline.
But Raven and Ashley had already arrived, and even the center who had been dribbled past rushed forward again regardless of the consequences.
Carlo and Ewing rushed over to respond: "Nie Chuan! Pass the ball——"
Nie Chuan could no longer hear anything. It was not that he had forgotten about teamwork, he was just too focused!
The three people's defense seemed impregnable, but Nie Chuan saw a gap when he rose to a certain height.
He twisted his body vigorously. His superb balance, incredible flexibility and desperate courage made him what he was at this moment.
He knew that Reese was still standing there, watching him!
He knew that as long as he wanted, no one could stop him!
Nie Chuan turned nearly 360 degrees in the air, and he passed nimbly between Raven and Ashley like quicksand sliding through his fingers.
The sense of power that captured everyone's attention looked extremely free and easy.
He did not curl up, but instead stretched out and flowed smoothly.
After landing, he quickly controlled his inertia, jumped up nimbly, and put the ball into the basket.
He will score.
No matter if there is someone in front of him or not.
No matter how many people are in front of him!
After Nie Chuan scored, his body shook and he almost fell down. Ewing who came over held him up!
At this time, DK is already leading KSU by 1 point!
From falling behind to overtaking, this journey made everyone present excited!
Nie Chuan breathed hard. He was tired, really tired.
But he wants to win!
The audience burst into thunderous applause, and even Raven's expression became extremely heavy when he looked at Nie Chuan.
The sound of applause rang in Ben's ears.
He turned his head and saw Seton clapping his hands.
"Sethon?"
"I respect every opponent who deserves my respect. And I look forward to meeting him on the court," Seton replied.
Raven gritted his teeth, his gaze was about to crush Nie Chuan.
Okay, I acknowledge your ability, but I can't hand victory to you!
One minute and thirty-five seconds left.
KSU's counterattack was like a surging wave.
The opponent's point guard broke through Chuck's defense like crazy, but Chuck was not discouraged and quickly followed him again. The opponent passed the ball to Ashley who came over without hesitation.
The moment when Ashley got the ball was also extremely thrilling, because Nie Chuan flashed past and almost intercepted the ball, which frightened Ashley into a cold sweat. But even if he succeeded in getting the ball, Nie Chuan steadied his steps, adjusted his center of gravity and moved sideways, instantly blocking in front of Ashley.
What a monster!
Ashley gnashed his teeth at Nie Chuan. He knew how powerful this young man was. He had broken through KSU's defense countless times and made KSU lose points at the free throw line countless times. Ashley didn't dare to risk a head-on confrontation with Nie Chuan, so he passed the ball to Raven instead.
Raven got the ball and KSU fans started cheering wildly.
There is one minute and twenty seconds left!
At this moment, Raven embodied all of KSU's hopes for victory. He was like a shooting star. He just passed by Carlo, but Carlo was almost knocked down by his sense of power.
"Get back on defense!" Ewing shouted.
They have reached the critical moment of victory or defeat, and they must hold on to every ball!
Even though every shot of Nie Chuan is brilliant, as his teammates, everyone knows that every shot of Nie Chuan exhausts his energy.
Carlo ran away desperately.
Nie Chuan was also returning to defense, but Carlo shouted, "Nie Chuan! Leave it to us!"
Raven stood up and was about to dunk. You could tell how powerful this shot was from the speed of his leap and the height he flew.
Black Mountain roared, rose from the ground, and his palm had the momentum of Gary Raven.
Everyone was stunned. Montenegro's jump was so amazing that even Riven had to take the ball back.
But Nie Chuan is not the only one who can do a layup. After pulling it back, Riven quickly adjusted the direction, avoiding Montenegro's arm from the side and was about to put the ball into the basket!
But what Raven didn't expect was that Carlo rushed over at some point, using all his strength, and his face turned red!
With a loud shout, Raven's ball was hit hard and even Raven almost lost his balance when he landed.
Ashley was about to step forward and take the ball away, but Chuck intercepted the ball before him and made a quick pass to Ewing!
Before the opponent's point guard arrived, Ewing made a long pass to Nie Chuan.
It was then that Riven and Ashley discovered that Nie Chuan was still on KSU's three-point line, and the only one who had a chance to defend him was KSU's point guard.
Nie Chuan dribbled past the opponent's point guard without any suspense and scored a layup!
DK narrowed the score gap with KSU to three points!
"They are great players." Coach Gordon clapped his hands off the court.
"They are also the most trustworthy comrades." Reese replied.
Nie Chuan turned around and high-fived Chuck and Ewing. He looked at Carlo and Montenegro under the basket from afar. These two guys were really amazing!
Raven exhaled, the pressure of KSU at this moment was like the entire stadium suddenly collapsed.
"When DK was behind, they still had a few minutes to catch up. But KSU only had fifty seconds left to make up for the three points," said Seton.
"Fifty seconds? That's enough to get at least three three-pointers." Ben touched his chin, "DK's victory isn't locked yet!"
Time passed little by little, and the offense and defense made it impossible to tell the situation.
The audience's nerves were almost broken.
Facing Nie Chuan's defense, Ashley passed the ball to Raven on the side. Raven wanted to make a layup, but faced the double defense of Carlo and Montenegro under the basket.
There was no scoring angle, and Raven suddenly passed the ball back to Ashley. Ashley felt pressured by Nie Chuanton, so he passed the ball to the point guard on the side.
The point guard forced a shot despite Ewing's obstruction. The ball hit the basket and bounced up. There was chaos under the basket. Montenegro, Carlo, Raven and the center of KSU fought for the ball and almost collided with each other. Nie Chuan was so nervous that he was about to explode, but Raven had extremely strong explosive power. He stood out in the chaos, caught the ball in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with a backhand with great difficulty!
In an instant, the gap between DK and KSU was shortened to 1 point, and there were only twenty seconds left to the end of the game!
No! We can't lose!
Nie Chuan gritted his teeth and chased after him. Ashley got the ball and saw Nie Chuan running towards him. He made a long pass to his point guard.
Nie Chuan suddenly stopped halfway, as if he had predicted that Ashley would pass the ball, and he ran towards the point guard.
Nie Chuan's speed shocked the KSU point guard. He never expected Nie Chuan to have such speed!
"Don't pass the ball!" Raven hadn't finished shouting when Nie Chuan lowered his body and moved forward, then with a sliding step he snatched the ball that the point guard was about to pass to their shooting guard!
The basketball hall was in an uproar, with the names of KSU and DK heard one after another.
The commentators stared at Nie Chuan's back, and all other comments were thrown out of their mind.
Nie Chuan seemed to take away all the air. He nimbly dodged the opponent's center, with Raven and Ashley chasing after him.
I want to score!
I want to score!
We must win!
Riven chased after him frantically. No matter what happened, he would not let Nie Chuan get the ball.
Feeling that Raven was getting closer, Nie Chuan took off into the air.
Everyone opened their mouths wide; they didn't expect him to jump from this distance!
But his height seemed to have transcended gravity and soared into the sky!
Raven also jumped up and stretched out his arms. His fingers passed through Nie Chuan's cheek and were about to touch the basketball in Nie Chuan's hand.
But Nie Chuan went crazy, using all his strength to slam the ball into the basket!
There was a loud bang, followed by shouts that seemed to shatter the basketball hall!
Nie Chuan opened his mouth wide, as if he couldn't breathe!
It only took DK five seconds to catch up with the ball.
“That’s great…” Special commentator Robert Difficult to Heal.
Nie Chuan's figure was engraved in everyone's sight like a brand.
When he landed, Nie Chuan was panting and almost unable to stand.
He no longer had the strength to fight back...
With fifteen seconds left, KSU launched a final attack regardless of everything.
But no matter where they went, they were guarded closely by DK.
Even the most inconspicuous Chuck was extremely brave. He actually chased after Ashley and cooperated with Ewing to double-team and steal the ball.
"KSU is a mess." Owen sighed.
Chuck passed the ball to Carlo, who rushed towards KSU and confronted Raven.
"Ten! Nine! Eight..." Everyone started counting down.
Carlo's mind had never been clearer than it was at that moment, and Raven couldn't steal the ball from him.
"Four! Three! ... Two! One! Zero!"
Nie Chuan was still gasping for breath, but no sound could be heard in his world.
All he knew was that Heishan rushed over and picked him up.
He turned around blankly and looked at Reese's position. Reese was still standing there, looking at him.
Reese's gaze was burning, as if Nie Chuan was not only a person, but also his entire dream.
"KSU is very strong, and the cooperation between Riven and Ashley is perfect. It's just a pity that they met Nie Chuan." Irving stood up calmly, put his hands in his pockets, and when he looked up, he saw Seton standing at the highest point.
Sethston smiled knowingly and patted Ben on the shoulder: "Let's go, idiot."
