Chapter 127: Changing Situations

Seton quickly caught up with Nie Chuan and pressed him to the sideline. At this time, Seton was on the left and there was no one on the right to support Nie Chuan. Nie Chuan's situation was very critical.

Although Reese has been following behind Nie Chuan, everyone knows that once Nie Chuan passes the ball backwards, it will be intercepted by Seton!

"Come on! Achuan! Come on!" Mao Xian couldn't help but shouting, and even Zhou Bin beside him clenched his fists.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the audience began to count seconds nervously.

Carlo and Ewing were guarding not far away. They knew Nie Chuan's ability. If they got too close, it would burden Nie Chuan and increase the confusion. They could only guard here so that they could enter the defensive state as soon as possible once Seton intercepted the pass.


But Edgar and Bracey were eyeing them covetously, which made the whole situation explosive.


At this moment, Nie Chuan suddenly rushed to Seton's left side with the ball, which looked like a last-ditch struggle to launch an attack.

Seton was about to intercept the ball, and commentator Robert could clearly see that his fingertips had touched the basketball, but Nie Chuan suddenly took the ball back. After Seton missed the ball, he quickly stabilized his center of gravity and wanted to put pressure on Nie Chuan a second time to force him back to the sideline, but he didn't expect Nie Chuan to rush sideways to Seton's left side again.


The audience became nervous, and even the commentators opened their mouths half-way, not knowing what to say.

Nie Chuan was extremely fast, with all his muscles tensed up, and he broke through the opponent's pace quite neatly, but he was still blocked by Seton. Seton made a second move, and the audience exclaimed. Mao Xian couldn't bear to watch and closed his eyes, but Nie Chuan seemed to have expected this and suddenly retreated again. However, after this step back, he passed the ball backwards with a graceful and neat movement. Reese, who had been waiting there, received the ball and quickly passed behind Nie Chuan!

Seton chased after him, but Nie Chuan followed closely beside him and blocked him.

Reese successfully rushed to the basket, Seton was slowed down by Nie Chuan's tight defense, and at this time Reese had already jumped with the ball.

"Oh my God!" commentator Engel exclaimed.

Because at this time, Bracey, Edgar and The Rock all came in front of Reese and jumped up!

Reese's posture was calm, his arm drew an arc like a principal's from bottom to top, and at the lowest point he passed over Bracey who was about to jump but had already stretched out his arms, then quickly passed Edgar who was about to reach Reese's shoulder height, and finally he threw the ball into the basket from the side of the right arm of the boulder that almost blocked him!


Nie Chuan opened his eyes wide and watched this scene. At that moment, he felt as if the whole world was firmly controlled by Reese.

The spotlights were flashing wildly, and I wonder how many sports reporters captured this classic scene.

There was a crazy cheer in the stadium.

Even Owen admitted: "This guy is really good."

Reese landed, turned around and glanced at Nie Chuan. The whole world tightened instantly, as if wrapping Nie Chuan tightly, and he smiled.

"This time, Reese and Nie Chuan finally played at the level that Mr. Lin En rated as the most anticipated partnership! First, Nie Chuan withstood the pressure from Seton, and pretended to break through twice just to get away from the sideline to create space for Reese to receive the ball, and then passed the ball from behind.


I noticed a very crucial point." Espenson smiled and looked at Robert next to him.


Robert answered clearly: "I also noticed that when Nie Chuan pretended to break through Seton twice, Reese made a move to retreat to the side. If it was an ordinary person, he would step forward to support his teammates at close range, but Reese did not. He was very confident that Seton would not be able to intercept Nie Chuan during these two breakthroughs, and instead gave Nie Chuan space to move. But at the end of the second breakthrough, he actually knew that Nie Chuan would pass the ball to him, and Nie Chuan didn't even turn his head to make sure that Reese understood what he meant! The tacit understanding between these two guys is really just as Mr. Lin En commented, the two people share the same brain!"

"And Reese, oh my god... Azu sent out three people but failed to stop him! You can see that Reese didn't make any changes of direction in the air nor did he make a layup. He just relied on his own feeling and used the time difference to make the defense of these three people fail! This is not luck, this is ability!" Engel did not hesitate to praise.

At this moment, Seton squinted his eyes and exhaled. He raised his collar and wiped his chin.

"Ah, Nie Chuan finally found himself. This guy even deceived Seton!" Larven was also very happy.

"But Seton's abilities are more than that. I'm worried that he will disrupt Nie Chuan a second time." Owen replied.


"Ah...ah..." Larven raised his hands to cover his eyes, "Yes...Seton is a very controlling guy. He will definitely want to control Nie Chuan again."

At this time, the score gap between AZU and DK was shortened to 4 points, but the audience had no doubt that DK was about to make a comeback.

A new round of fast break began. Seton rushed into DK with the ball at an extremely fast speed. Facing the joint defense of Ewing, Carlo and Nie Chuan, he showed no sign of stopping to pass the ball. After leaving Ewing to the left, he suddenly turned right. Nie Chuan was about to shoot, but Seton increased his dribbling speed. Nie Chuan's hand was almost hit by his elbow. After Seton slightly retracted, he moved to the right more significantly. Carlo and Nie Chuan double intercepted Seton. Seton suddenly turned around and made a thrilling circular move. Nie Chuan followed closely but Carlo was shaken and fell. In order not to hit Nie Chuan, Carlo forcibly turned sideways. Seton was about to shoot, but Nie Chuan jumped up from behind him, almost sticking to Seton's back to block the ball from behind, and exclamations came one after another.

Seton felt the threat from Nie Chuan, and he decisively threw the ball to Bracey.

Reese was about to intercept the ball in a one-on-one situation. Bracey's two fake moves were blocked by Reese and he was almost intercepted. Seeing that Carlo was also about to come up to defend him, Bracey passed the ball to Ben Robbins.

"Ewing—"

Amid Carlo's shout, Ewing jumped high, and Ben jumped with the ball, but did not shoot in a hurry. Instead, he suddenly pushed the ball out when Ewing's height began to drop.

Ewing could feel the wind sweeping over his head. He felt Ben Robbins' shot from such a close distance, and the smooth and neat feeling made Ewing excited.

With one basket, the original 4-point gap was reduced to 7 points.

Nie Chuan was still confronting Seton one-on-one. The two of them checked and balanced each other, and it was difficult for them to escape for a while.

"Although it seems that the point guards of both teams are blocked by each other and cannot fully display their abilities, don't forget one thing: Nie Chuan is now guarding Seton." Commentator Engley looked at Robert on the side.

Robert nodded.

At this time, Bracey was dribbling the ball, and was about to cut into DK's basket under the escort of Edgar. Reese confronted him. Bracey tried to cut in left and right. His steps were very agile, sometimes left and sometimes right, and then suddenly broke through. However, Reese's reaction was so quick that it exceeded Bracey's imagination. He defended again and even got in front of Bracey with just one step.

In order to avoid getting too entangled with Reese, Bracey passed the ball to Edgar, but he never expected that Carlo would intercept the ball.

Carlo turned with the ball and encountered a steal from Ben Robbins. It was all unexpected and everyone thought that Carlo would lose the ball, but unexpectedly he changed direction from behind and broke through to the right, dribbled past Ben Robbins and passed the ball to Ewing.

"Don't hesitate!"

At this moment, Ewing was standing one step farther away than the last time he successfully shot the ball, but after catching the ball, Ewing jumped directly without thinking about anything.

"Too hasty!" Larven screamed in the stands.

But Ewing's eyes were focused, and the power was transmitted from his thighs to his shoulders and then to his fingertips. He repeated the rhythm after his last successful rapid shot. He estimated in his mind his own strength and the arc that the ball would draw. All the calculations were finally entrusted to his own feelings.

With a "clang", the ball went steadily through the basket.

"Oh——" the audience exclaimed.

After Ewing shot, he realized that the person who came to defend him and jumped up was none other than Azu's center The Rock.

He almost completely blocked Ewing, but the ball had already passed leisurely over the top of the boulder.

At that moment, Ewing was almost dumbfounded. If he hesitated for just 0.01 second, he would lose the ball and the opportunity created for him by Nie Chuan, Reese and Carlo.

The score gap between dk and azu was shortened to 4 points again.

"Well done!" Carlo patted Ewing on the back.

Only then did Ewing realize that he had just created his own history. It was the first time he scored from a position far away from the three-point line and close to the center circle with a strong opponent blocking him.

If the previous quick shot was really a mixture of luck and strength, then for this shot, Ewing was sure that it was really his strength!

He lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Carlo...if you have a chance, pass the ball to me more often. I will score."

Carlo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Of course. If you don't kill Azu in thirty minutes this time, I will beat you up."

"What if I got it?" Ewing asked back with a raised lip corner.

"I'll lick the soles of your shoes!" Carlo ran away.

Ewing scoffed, "I want you to lick the bottom of my shoes!"

At this time, Nie Chuan knew in his heart that Ewing had found his form.

More than ten seconds later, Montenegro and Azu's center The Rock started a competition under the basket. The Rock trapped Montenegro on the outside. Edgar forced a shot under Carlo's tight defense. At that moment, Montenegro went around from the side of the Rock and blocked the Rock with the strength of his waist and abdomen. When the ball hit the basket and bounced up, Montenegro jumped one step earlier than the Rock. Even though he was hit by the Rock behind him, Montenegro still took the ball steadily and passed it to Reese.

Seeing this, Seton rushed forward to block Reese. He shook his shoulders slightly and then suddenly turned around and went around. Nie Chuan was thrown away by him. Just when Seton was chasing Reese with all his strength, Nie Chuan suddenly rushed to his side at full speed and blocked him in front of him like drifting. Reese rushed into the basket of Azu and was intercepted by Edgar and The Rock. He did not deliberately confront them, but passed the ball to Carlo. Carlo threw away Bracey and passed the ball to Ewing who came to meet the call!

"Ewing's movement has become more aggressive!" Engley commented.

At this time, Ben Robbins had already rushed to defend Ewing. In terms of ball control ability, everyone thought Ben was slightly better.

Ewing lowered his center of gravity and took a small step back. He just happened to see Nie Chuan guarding Seton.

All along, Nie Chuan had practiced dribbling with him countless times, and it was time to show off his skills at a high level! Ewing dribbled the ball, cut to the left, and suddenly pulled back to the right. Everyone was surprised. This was the first time Ewing made such a large fake move in this game. Ben's heart was almost shaken by Ewing. Just when Ben was close, Ewing suddenly retreated and then jumped!

The ball was sent out from Ben's fingers, and a fierce rebounding competition began under the basket. Although Montenegro pressed hard against the boulder, the ball went into the basket steadily!

"Oh!" Ewing gave Carlo his middle finger. This was his fifth three-pointer!

Ben exhaled and looked at Ewing with wide eyes. The confident smile on his face made Ben feel a sense of pressure.

DK's fans cheered wildly. Now Azu is only one point ahead of DK!

"Ewing was really unexpected. His fake move just now was very rhythmic, and he was able to shoot quickly against Ben Robbins. Well done!" Engley praised.

"But the hero behind this goal is Nie Chuan. If Nie Chuan hadn't defended Seton, Reese would have been disturbed and the ball might not have been successfully passed to Carlo. Now Nie Chuan has thrown a big problem to Seton." Espenson touched his chin and looked at Nie Chuan with interest.

"What's the problem?" Engel asked in confusion.

"Breaking through Nie Chuan is not impossible. The key is whether he can guarantee that Nie Chuan will not catch up with him after breaking through Nie Chuan for the first time. If not, what's the point of breaking through?"

After Robert finished speaking, Engel and Espenson laughed knowingly.

"It seems that Nie Chuan has found a way to suppress Seton." Larven showed a secretly happy expression.

"But compared to this, being able to truly break through Seton means Nie Chuan has made progress."

The ever-declining score made Azu feel full of crisis awareness.

Seton's fake move was faster than before, and the amplitude of his shoulder shake and the speed of his change of direction made Nie Chuan hang in the balance. He once again showed Seton's crossover changes, and Nie Chuan gritted his teeth and followed, trying to slow down Seton's rhythm. When Seton stretched out his arms and quickly pulled back his center of gravity, Nie Chuan aimed at the opportunity and suddenly shot. This time was really the closest time for Nie Chuan to steal the ball, but Seton still pulled the ball back with his strong waist and abdomen strength, as if he had learned something from Nie Chuan. He took a small step back, and Nie Chuan was completely unprepared and could not react in time. Seton broke out, and he knew that Nie Chuan would catch up soon, so he ran hard, shook off the Montenegrin's defense under the basket, and was about to dunk.

Amid exclamations, Reese jumped up with overwhelming force. Seton did not give Reese a chance to block his shot. His body swayed in the air. At this time, Carlo also intercepted from the other side to prevent his layup. Seton had to take the ball back and pass it backwards to Ben Robbins!

Nie Chuan shot again and intercepted the ball!

Ben made a sound of annoyance, and Nie Chuan turned around to launch a quick attack but was attacked from both sides by Bracey and Jushi.

Reese was about to provide support but was blocked by Edgar. In this brief moment, Nie Chuan had to pass the ball as quickly as possible, but before Ewing could catch the ball, Seton who came over intercepted it.

This was like Seton's revenge on Nie Chuan for intercepting his pass.

Nie Chuan made two fake moves to the left and right and finally got past Edgar, but Seton jumped up again. He changed hands to avoid Montenegro and encountered Reese again. This time Seton did not make any unnecessary fake moves. He made a neat dunk and scored by brushing Reese's arm!

Seton's speed and strength were fully demonstrated in this ball, and the basket seemed to tremble with fear.

The moment he fell, he glanced at Nie Chuan, as if he wanted to crush him into powder.

"I guess Seton is fed up with Nie Chuan." Larven said.

"Yeah." Owen nodded. He could imagine that if he were Seton, facing Nie Chuan, who was so sticky that he couldn't get rid of him, his temper would have risen a long time ago.

"With that slam dunk, Seton was more of venting his desire to beat up Nie Chuan than stabilizing Azu's momentum," Larvin replied.

In the following confrontation, Seton faced Nie Chuan more decisively, even with a bit of ferocity, and at one point he directly knocked Nie Chuan to the ground.

Although Nie Chuan was in a mess, he didn't care about the noise from the audience at all. He quickly stood up and continued to defend Seton.

The other members of azu seemed to have reached a consensus that once Seton got rid of Nie Chuan, they would stop Reese.

But Reese used a fake move to avoid Edgar first, then pretended to pass between the boulder and Bracey, but suddenly changed direction at the last moment and went around the other side of the boulder. His breakout was quite brilliant, but he still couldn't catch up with Seton's speed.

Seton started to dunk, and Nie Chuan intercepted from behind Seton. He jumped later, but reached Seton's height almost at the same time.

Everyone's breath was caught in their throat. Even without looking back, Seton knew there was someone behind him. He retrieved the ball swiftly and used the inertia of his body to dunk the ball with his backhand just before passing the basket!

At this time, Azu was once again leading DK by six points.

"Azu will not let DK get these points back easily." Owen glanced at the game time. There were only five minutes left.

Larven patted his heart: "Every second makes me dare not blink, for fear of missing something. Last year, Reese was able to slash your CBU in the last five minutes. I really hope that this year he and Nie Chuan can team up to slash Azu!"

Nie Chuan took a breath, he could hear the sound of his heart beating. Defending Seton was a mentally tense and physically demanding task, which made him feel more tired than before.

But in the last five minutes, he had to hold on and suppress Seton in one go.

Nie Chuan knew that the idea of ​​"suppressing Seton" was very arrogant, because he was only entangled with Seton and did not really suppress him, but he believed that Seton's physical energy consumption must be no less than his.

Nie Chuan glanced at Reese, who lowered his chin towards him.

He understood what Reese meant.

There are less than five minutes left in the game, and they have to make up for these six points in the next minute!

Seton dribbled past Nie Chuan again, but this time he did not rush to the basket. As if he knew that Nie Chuan would hold on to him, he immediately passed the ball to Ben Robbins.

Ben's position was close to the center line, but everyone knew that he could shoot even at this distance. However, almost at the moment Seton passed the ball, Nie Chuan had already moved his feet. Ben felt Nie Chuan running towards him, and he shot quickly. Just as the ball was about to be sent out, it was slapped down by Nie Chuan with a "bang".

Ben himself was a little tired. He didn't know where Nie Chuan, who had been entangled with Seton, got such energy.

Nie Chuan stretched out his arm to catch the bouncing ball, and just as he turned around he ran into Seton.

The shutter clicks of sports reporters began again, and even photographers stared with bated breath.

Is it true that this time, Nie Chuan still cannot break through Seton?

Nie Chuan looked directly into Seton's eyes. His mind was extremely clear at this moment. He still remembered how Reese demonstrated to him over and over again how he broke through Seton at the end of the first quarter. It was neat and simple, but very effective. That was Reese's way, and also Reese's style.

As for Seton, he will also use his own style!

Nie Chuan pulled up the corners of his mouth, first cutting in quickly and neatly, then stopping abruptly, then cutting in again and stopping abruptly, making the audience's hearts tighten and relax, as if everyone's breath was being strangled.

Suddenly, Nie Chuan cut in from the left and changed to the right. The ball had already landed next to his right foot. This was an obvious breakthrough on the right. Seton gritted his teeth and turned his center of gravity back, but Nie Chuan was able to pull it completely back to the left in the next moment. This was Seton's classic center of gravity drift in the crossover. Seton completed it not only with his extraordinary control over the center of gravity transfer, but also with the speed of retracting and extending his upper arm. Nie Chuan imitated this perfectly, but he also had his own characteristics, that is, the estimation of distance. He quickly pulled back and then suddenly accelerated to break through!

The changeable rhythm caught even the experienced and quick-reacting Seton off guard, and Nie Chuan had already passed him on the other side.

His body looked like he was about to fall, but amid the exclamations of the crowd, he managed to control his balance, rushed past Bracey and went straight to the basket.

"Ha——" Nie Chuan shouted loudly and jumped high. The last time the boulder failed to defend him, this time he would definitely not let Nie Chuan score!

He was on guard against Nie Chuan's K, but Nie Chuan just took the ball back. Bracey rushed over and jumped up. Everyone was worried that Nie Chuan's folding pull would fail, but Nie Chuan suddenly swung the ball back!

The speed of that ball was different from Seton's pass. It had a large rotation and almost flew past Edgar's cheek, but was caught steadily by Reese.

Reese suddenly stopped and jumped on the spot, but that was outside the three-point line!

“Stop him!”

Seton shouted, but Reese shot before anyone else could run over, making a three-pointer, narrowing the score gap to three points.

It took only a dozen seconds from Nie Chuan breaking through Seton to Reese scoring.

The ever-changing situation makes it hard to guess what will happen in a few seconds.

Nie Chuan was panting, he was tired. But this kind of tiredness was completely different from the tiredness he felt when he was replaced by the coach in the first quarter.

He wanted to win, he had never wanted to win so badly.

He has Ewing, Carlo, Montenegro, and Reese. Why can't DK win?

"The cooperation between Nie Chuan and Reese is really enviable! Nie Chuan broke through Seton and attracted Azu's defense under the basket for Reese. Reese knew exactly where Nie Chuan needed him to go, and he got what he wanted!" Larvin sighed.

Nie Chuan kept up his efforts, dodging left and right, and after passing Ben and Edgar, Bracey came closely. Nie Chuan avoided Bracey with a European move, but Seton intercepted Nie Chuan's ball with a "bang". Just as he was about to turn around, Nie Chuan accelerated and blocked him. Although he was almost knocked down by Seton's breakthrough, he still managed to keep his body steady.

"I bet Nie Chuan is the most difficult opponent Seton has ever encountered!" Engel exclaimed!

"Yes, because every 'pass' does not mean a real pass. I have studied for a long time how Nie Chuan caught up with Seton after losing! It was his ankle. His control of inertia is more exquisite than other players. He would shift his center of gravity the moment he lost the ball, leaning towards Seton's breakthrough direction. Many players are afraid of Seton's breakthrough, but Nie Chuan is not afraid. For him, this is just the beginning of the next confrontation." Robert smiled with approval, "On the court, no one can defend someone. The same is true between Nie Chuan and Seton. It is not terrible to be dribbled past by someone. What is really terrible is Nie Chuan's judgment and reaction at the moment of failure. This is enough for him to slow down Seton's most proud speed even if he does not stare at Seton closely."

Seton once again used his best crossover to dribble past Nie Chuan, but the moment he passed, Nie Chuan turned around and stretched out his arm, and at the moment his first dribble landed, he grabbed the ball!

There was an exclamation on the field!

Nie Chuan was also surprised at that moment. He didn't know how he did it. His brain hadn't analyzed it yet, but his body had already taken action. It was as if the countless moments of being broken through by Seton were all superimposed on each other at this moment, allowing Nie Chuan to finally hit Seton's rhythm.

After getting the ball, Nie Chuan ran frantically in the opposite direction. He and Reese passed the ball to each other, and both of them cut into the basket.

However, Nie Chuan did not pass the ball to Reese who was about to make a layup, but passed it to Carlo.

Carlo continued to pass the ball to the outside and gave it to Montenegro.

Montenegro was being stalked by a boulder, and the two were inseparable. He continued to pass the ball, and the ball was almost intercepted by Ben, but Ewing took the initiative to move sideways in front of Ben and blocked the ball!

Ben was about to grab the ball, but Ewing took a big step back and even jumped!

"He's crazy!" Engel yelled.

Ewing's heart was beating calmly at that moment, the arc of the ball rose high, and the strength of his shot at this distance was different from every previous time, but he knew that feeling, the ratio between the distance and the arc, and he was sure that the arc he drew was precise and correct!

Under the basket, Reese and Edgar raised their heads and competed with each other for the best position, but the ball fell into the basket with all their heartbeats and breathing!

Ewing's eyes widened, and Ben looked at him sideways.

Ewing once again made his own history, completing his longest shot on the court!

"Hey... I thought only you and Ben Robbins dared to do this..." Larven nudged Owen with his elbow.

"Didn't you notice...all the DK players pulled Azu's players to the basket, but Ewing always stayed at the farthest place. Carlo and Montenegro passed the ball because they believed in Ewing...no matter how far away, he would make the shot." Owen narrowed his eyes.

"DK is terrible... not only is Nie Chuan and Reese such a top-notch team, but also Ewing... I feel that this match with Ben Robbins has opened a new door for him." Larven also narrowed his eyes.

No matter what the result of this year's finals is, DK is a rapidly growing team. Even if Azu can stop DK from attacking the throne this year, what about next year?

Ewing's long shot allowed DK to tie the score with Azu.

DK's fans are almost going crazy.

Mao Xian also said excitedly: "DK is so handsome! Really so handsome!"

The game then entered a phase of white deterioration, like a three-point shooting contest.

As if inspired by Ewing's performance, Ben Robbins made two consecutive three-pointers with the cooperation of his teammates.

DK was not to be outdone. Reese and Nie Chuan coordinated the attack, Carlo and Montenegro attacked and defended back and forth, with Ewing as the center, passing the ball continuously. Within thirty seconds, Ewing also made two long shots.

The scores were so close that it was thrilling to watch.
