C191 (2/2)
After Zhang Jun won the ball, a beautiful fake movement attracted the attention of Number 1 who was watching him closely and passed the ball to the unguarded Su Xiang who was standing three points away. Su Xiang steadily received the ball from Zhang Jun, took a deep breath and threw it out.
At the same time, the whistle for the end of the match sounded. Although the ball hit the net, it was still up to the referee to determine whether the ball was effective or not. If it was effective, the ”deathwing” would rely on Su Xiang's three point goal, an anti-competitive score, to obtain victory in the tournament. On the other hand, if this ball was deemed invalid, Zhang Jun and the others would lose the match with a point of weakness.
Thus, the final judgement of the referee was extremely important. In a short period of time, the referee had become the most eye-catching person on the stage.
As there were no live videos of this match, the referee's verdict could only be based on his own feelings. In order to ensure safety, the referee walked to the side of the timer and had a short conversation with him before returning to the field.
The referee hesitated for a moment and finally made his judgement under everyone's watchful eyes. The goal was out of time and the judgement was invalid!
This result meant that ”Rocket Union” had defeated ”deathwing” and obtained the final victory in the competition.
Faced with such a punishment, the people who supported Zhang Jun and the others immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, and started to criticize the referee one after another.
”I didn't even time out when my ball left my hand. Why was it nullified?” Su Xiang's face was filled with anger as he prepared to find the referee for an argument, but he was stopped by Zhang Jun, ”It's useless! When did you ever see the referee change his judgment? At that time, if we just eat a technical violation and get disqualified, won't that be perfect for our opponents? ”
”But, I …” As soon as Su Xiang finished speaking, he was interrupted by him. ”This is the group stage! We have three more games ahead of us. Even if we lose this match, it doesn't mean we're eliminated. Right now, what we should do is discuss how to play well in the following matches and win the following matches. ”
”As long as we win the rest of the matches, we'll still have a chance to get out of the group!” Tan Bin paused for a moment, and said.
The first morning's match was uneventful. Many of the strong teams that had been favored before the match won as expected. Due to Zhang Jun's participation, the intensity of the competition, and the referee's final controversial punishment, Zhang Jun and the others' match with ”Rocket Union” became the most popular match that morning. The referee's final judgement also became the hottest topic of discussion on the school's forums.
Lunch later, Ye Xuan was still brooding over the verdict the judge gave her. She had been pouting unhappily the entire time, ”What referee?! ”Obviously, he's just a black whistle that's been bought off. If there's a chance, I will definitely go and complain to him.”
”Ye Xuan, you have already said this seven times, the person involved has already forgotten about it, and yet you are still saying it.” Chen Hewen, who was sitting at the side, could not bear to listen any longer. He picked up a chopstick with his chopsticks and stuffed it into Ye Xuan's mouth, preventing her from speaking any further.
”That's right! You guys should still have a match this afternoon, right? ” Cao Jia suddenly thought of something and asked the rest.
Zhang Jun nodded and said to Cao Jia: ”Yes, the weakest in the group, 'City Superman'.”
”The opponent's strength is weak, but that doesn't mean he's easy to fight. If you want to get out of the competition, you cannot afford to lose, but you must not underestimate your opponent. ” Cao Jia rolled his eyes at Zhang Jun as he warned him.
”Sister-in-law, don't worry!” We will not underestimate our opponents. We will use 200% of our effort to win every single match that remains. This way, we will be able to get qualified when the 'Fire Thread Alliance' is unable to maintain a four match complete victory. ” Su Xiang said.
Zhang Song paused for a moment, then said to everyone: ”This afternoon, I had something I couldn't do to come to the sports field to watch your competition. For this, I apologize to everyone. I wish you all victory in this afternoon's match and a few extra points. ”
Zhang Jun and the others would begin their match at four in the afternoon.
Facing the relatively weaker ”City Superman”, the ”deathwing” launched an attack immediately. Zhang Jun got the ball that Tan Bin shot and quickly rushed into the fray with the ball. He directly rushed into the three-second mark and fired his first shot with the beautiful top basket.
When it was ”City Superman” 's turn to attack, his opponent, who was under the strict protection of Zhang Jun and the others, had difficulty finding a better opportunity. In a hurry, he directly threw the ball to the intersection of the basketball court and the rebounding board. Zhang Jun decisively jumped up, his superhuman jumping ability allowed Zhang Jun to pressure everyone to snatch the basketball from their hands, allowing them to quickly hit their opponent with a beautiful counterattack.
Under Zhang Jun's lead, Su Xiang and Tan Bin also earned points. ”The deathwing unknowingly hit the opponent at a small climax, increasing the difference in points to seven balls in an instant.” The Superman had no choice but to pause.
”Although we have the advantage of seven balls in our hands, don't forget the match this morning. Before the advantage turns into victory, anything can happen. We think about what tactics our opponents will use to crack our system after a pause, and what tactics we should use to deal with it. ” Zhang Jun said loudly.
