Chapter 51 Seattle Miracle, Lu Feng’s Draft Declaration!(1/3)
"Lark knocked down Stephen!"
"Stephen's split...no, it's Luck's three-pointer!"
"Score! The score is tied!"
Lu Feng made a three-pointer to tie the game, clenched his fist and waved it hard!
"Roar!!!"
The players from Syracuse University who were half a step behind could only helplessly watch him celebrate, shake their heads and sigh.
After finally widening the point difference, Lu Feng caught up with two goals, which was helpless.
Stephen Thompson lay on the ground, watching his teammates standing in a daze, his eyes gradually aggrieved...
My legs are numb, come and give me a lift!
In the end, he had no choice but to push himself up with his hands, cover his crotch with both hands, and stagger towards the bench.
When his teammates saw his strange walking posture, they all cast strange looks.
Teammate: Are you alive?
Stephen Thompson: Get out!
The commercial pause was not long, and even if Lynn Nance wanted to deploy any tactics, there would not be enough time, not to mention that he had no tactics to deploy.
"Okay everyone, cheer up for the last 10 minutes. Come on, give me your hands..."
"1,2,3...Huskies!"
At the beginning of the last half, Lynn Nance did not let Doug Meekins play. As long as the score can be stabilized, the later Doug plays, the better. His defense is a sharp knife at critical moments. Good steel must be used.
On the edge of the knife.
Syracuse University's No. 5 player is Stephen Thompson. Although he felt uncomfortable for a while when he was split by Lu Fenghuang, he was fortunately not injured.
After a few rounds, Lu Feng felt the changes in Syracuse University's defense.
Stephen Thompson completely ignored Lu Feng's breakthrough and only guarded his outside three-pointers, allowing him to shoot two long shots!
It's not that Lu Feng never thought about running without the ball to shoot and catch a three-pointer, but Syracuse University just refused to let him take a shot. If he didn't hold the ball, it would be difficult for him to connect the ball.
The NCAA at this time is not like the NBA. The NBA has been very flexible in the penalty for moving pick-and-rolls since the 1990s. Before the Duke era, the NCAA's penalty was very rigid, and if there was a foul, it would be called directly.
After returning from the timeout and playing for less than half a quarter, the score difference between the two teams was kept within 2 points, and the Huskies failed to make a run.
There is no way, except for Lu Feng, the Huskies really can’t score when they shoot!
Unlike the Huskies, Syracuse University's scoring is either low post or short-range shooting. With the height advantage, the impact of physical fitness is not that big. As long as the player's mentality is not problematic, the shooting rate can be maintained.
With 5 minutes left in the game, Lynn Nance replaced Doug Meekins.
"Doug, guard our defense well and use your strength to guard the basket for me!"
"Okay, coach!"
Doug Meekins made an impact soon after he came on. On the defensive end, he first held Derek Coleman and interfered with the opponent's shot.
After that, he picked up the dropped basketball from behind Billy Owens' head, jumped up continuously, grabbed key rebounds, threw the ball forward, and assisted Lu Feng to complete the fast break!
96:92, Huskies lead by 4 points!
"Luck scored his 60th point in the Finals. Friends, the Huskies are going to win. We are witnessing history!"
"MOP!MOP!MOP!"
The Huskies opened the point difference to 4 points, and the fans cheered Lu Feng.
At the end of the game, the taller Jeff Brown returned to the 5th position, and he guarded Derek Coleman.
Among Syracuse University's three main players, Stephen Thompson is restricted by Lu Feng and cannot play singles. He can only run, catch and shoot.
Bill Owens and Jeff Brown fought hand-to-hand for most of the game, and their physical strength was basically at the bottom, so only Derek Coleman of Syracuse University could stand up in the end.
Although they were beaten 4-0 by the Huskies at the last moment of the game, Syracuse University still did not give up and was extremely resilient!
The last one to stand up from Syracuse University was Derrick Coleman. In the hand-to-hand fight with Jeff Brown, he took a shot and grabbed a shot, hitting a 2-1!
Then, after the next play, as soon as he dribbled the ball across half court, he quickly passed the ball to Billy Owens and ran to help the opponent set a pick-and-roll.
Jeff Brown was blocked, and faced with Derek Coleman, Doug Meekins had no choice but to commit his last foul.
But Derek Coleman miraculously sent the basketball skyward with his body twisted and his center of gravity tilted to one side...
The basketball flew high into the air, and then fell straight down - swoosh!
2 1 again?
"Roar!!!" Derek Coleman roared and shouted: "We haven't lost yet, guys, think about how much we have paid this year!"
As one of the candidates for the No. 1 pick in 1990, Derek Coleman was just a three-star high school student like Curry in high school, and he was just an ordinary defensive blue-collar player in his first two years of college.
But starting from his junior year, his static and dynamic talents began to activate, and coupled with the shooting he has been practicing hard, he quickly grew into an all-around inside man.
Lu Feng looked at the other party strangely. If he remembered correctly, Derek Coleman was also a master of squandering his talents after entering the NBA...
Derek Coleman also made a free throw, the score was 98:98, and the game time was less than 1 minute!
"Evened, Syracuse University evened the score!"
"Derek Coleman, he stood up at a critical moment. Only coach Jim Boeheim was optimistic about him and was willing to give him a chance. He did not let down coach Jim. He saved Syracuse University!"
Derek Coleman's goal was a complete miracle. The Huskies players, including Lu Feng, could only sigh helplessly. When encountering such a goal, they could only admit that they were unlucky. There was no other way.
The Huskies attacked. This time Lu Feng did not make a fast break, but chose to press the clock.
With 10 seconds left in the attack time, Lu Feng accelerated and easily passed Stephen Thompson.
However, the moment Stephen Thompson was passed, he quickly turned around, made a diving dive, and pushed the ball out of bounds from behind. He also fell heavily to the ground.
Stephen Thompson cut his forehead, and donated blood kept pouring out of the wound, but there was no pain at all on his face, which was all smiles.

Lynn Nance decisively called a timeout and began to arrange the final attack...
"Lark, are you sure you want to use this?"
"Of course, we have been preparing this tactic for so long, isn't it just for now?"
After the timeout, all five Huskies walked to the bottom corner and stood in a row.
The five Huskies stood outside the court, while only the five from Syracuse University were in the court, looking confused and not knowing how to defend.
What kind of weird tactic is this? Have you never seen it before?
Moreover, why is Lu Feng serving? Shouldn't he try to find a chance to catch the ball at this time?
The referee looked at the Huskies and thought carefully... Well, there is no violation, and the game continues.
As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the four Huskies rushed into the field instantly, and Syracuse University's defense was in chaos!
During the timeout, Jim Boeheim emphasized again and again not to let Lu Feng catch the ball, but it was impossible to ignore others, right?
Lu Feng easily passed the ball to Brent Merritt at a 45° angle, and then entered the field and started running.
The defender who replaced Stephen Thompson followed Lu Feng closely, watching him pass through his teammates, and then, a wall appeared in front of him...
That's right, it's the elevator door tactic commonly used by the Bulls and Splash Warriors in the late 1980s!
Lu Feng ran outside the three-point line, accepted Brent's pass, and shot a three-pointer - Wow!
"Defense!" After scoring the goal, Lu Feng did not celebrate, but immediately shouted.
Jeff Brown and Eldridge, who were knocked down, quickly got up and were alert to Syracuse University's fast break. In the last few seconds, the score difference was only 2 points, and Syracuse University still had a chance to equalize the score.
Seeing that the Huskies retreated without making any mistakes, Jim Boeheim decisively called a timeout.
In the last few seconds, Derek Coleman burst out with amazing strength, ran over Jeff Brown to receive the ball, and then quickly pulled away from mid-range!
However, at the moment he pulled out, a person rushed over - Lu Feng!
The moment Lu Feng saw Derek Coleman receiving the ball, he rushed towards the opponent at full speed and blocked the shot from behind!
Dududu——
After blocking Derek Coleman, before Syracuse University could commit a foul, the buzzer sounded at the end of the game!
"Luck blocked Derek Coleman, the Huskies won, and the University of Washington Huskies became this year's NCAA champions!"
"They made history, this is the University of Washington's first March Madness championship!"
"In addition, Luck... no, it's Lu Feng. Lu Feng became the first Chinese to win the NCAA championship. Not only that, he will also become the first Chinese to win the MOP!"
"No accidents, no regrets, they made it to the end, they did it, this is the Seattle miracle!"
"Ah!!!"
Lu Feng threw the ball into the sky and hugged his Husky teammates!
"If we win, we are the champions, we are the NCAA champions!"
"I knew you could do it, Lark, you killed those weaklings!"
