"Just like that, kill them!"
"Another point, only five points left.”
"Victory is right in front of us. Go Cougar!”
The University of Houston players defended even more vigorously with the support of the fans.
With only five points left and only two minutes left in the game, they had reached the point where they had to fight for every goal. They could not let go of the opportunity no matter what. They held their breath and defended against the goal.
Every player was entangled with their own target, and the opposing players who had the ball in their hands would encounter layers of interception.
This was like a meat grinder in the forbidden zone. Bodies collided crazily.
Especially Ewing and Olajuwon under the basket, who were completely fighting for positions in a hand-to-hand manner. No one was convinced of the other.
"Pa!"
Unfortunately, in the end, the University of Houston players still made a mistake. Franklin only had 10 seconds to attack, and when Reggie Williams tried to shoot, he was fouled and sent to the free-throw line.
There were less than two minutes left in the game. Both sides on the field were tense. Reggie Williams, who was preparing for a free throw, was obviously too nervous. His fingers were stiff, and he only made one of the two free throws, giving his opponent another chance to close the score.
When Olajuwon grabbed the rebound, there was no chance for a quick counterattack. He could only throw it to his own point guard organization.
Georgetown University's defense was also very suffocating. From the front field, they began to desperately delay, trying to create an eight-second violation.
Fortunately, Liang Wenhao went forward to receive his teammate and successfully passed the ball to the front field.
The basketball was over, but Georgetown University immediately withdrew their defense and heavily guarded the penalty area. Olajuwon's position within the paint was also blocked by Ewing and he could not find a good position.
Seeing this, Liang Wenhao passed the ball back to his teammate at the slanted corner and regrouped.
Time ticked by. As they passed the ball and looked for opportunities, the game time came to the last minute and ten seconds.
The managers of both teams stood up nervously. One side prayed that their players would defend against the ball. As long as they defended against the ball, the game would be won. The other side was looking forward to this attack. If it succeeded, they would be one step closer to the final reversal.
The fans also stood up spontaneously, their eyes fixed on the field, their hands clasped together, and they fell into prayer.
Seeing that the 35 seconds of attack time was running out, the Georgetown University players began to put pressure on the defense, forcing the opponent forward and forcing the ball into Olajuwon's hands.
With no chance to attack, the University of Houston could only play from the inside and open a gap.
Olajuwon played very tough. He held the ball and resisted Ewing's resistance. He walked in step by step, and he kept his eyes and ears open.
Just as he pushed Ewing to the basket and encountered a bigger obstruction, he passed the ball.
Liang Wenhao shook off his defender at this moment and seized the opening in the bottom corner.
Even though the three-point line had only been introduced in the NCAA this year, and no one had specifically practiced it, no coach had placed much importance on this line and specially arranged various three-point tactics. However, considering Liang Wenhao's three-point shot, Olajuwon decided to take a gamble.
Then, he passed the ball.
“？？？”
Coach Lewis, who was on the sidelines, watched the ball fly into Liang Wenhao's hands and was shocked.
Was this a three-pointer?
No way!
At such a critical moment, he was going to fight for this opportunity?
Olajuwon's passing choice was beyond Lewis's expectations. He did not arrange any three-point tactics. He even pretended that the line did not exist and emphasized on attacking for two points.
In his opinion, there was clearly a two-pointer that was closer to the basket. Why did he throw a three-pointer that was so far away?
The closer he was to the basket, the higher his shooting rate would be, right? He would be more confident in shooting, wouldn't he?
The introduction of the three-point line was only at the experimental stage. It could not be used as a conventional weapon at all, let alone make such a choice at such a critical moment.
However, there was no time to remind Liang Wenhao to give up the three-pointer and switch to attacking the paint.
He could only wait anxiously, waiting for Liang Wenhao to throw in, or for Olajuwon to grab the front board and attack again.
There were only 3 seconds left to attack.
After Liang Wenhao received the ball, he only adjusted slightly. When Reggie Williams pounced on him, he shook his opponent away and calmly shot.
"Swoosh!"
Three points went into the net.
Liang Wenhao clenched his fists and raised them high in excitement when the wonderful sound of the net being scraped rang out.
The scene exploded.
With this goal, it meant that there was only a three-point difference.
The Georgetown University fans wailed and looked at Liang Wenhao in disbelief, while the Cougar fans jumped up and shouted excitedly.
75:72
Seeing that the points gap was getting closer, Manager Lewis's eyes were wide open.
He really entered?
He actually entered?
Good fellow!
When he came back to his senses, he almost could not help but jump up in excitement.
Liang Wenhao again!
Another three points!
It was always beyond his expectations.
"Time out, time out!"
Compared to Lewis, who pretended to be reserved in his excitement, Manager Thompson was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted at the referee repeatedly.
There was only one minute left in the match.
