One Guard Chapter 20: : Hit the famous hall
Although Yiyang grew up in a place like the Wood District since he was a child, fortunately, this family has never had any bad habits.
When he lived with his mother, he was at most fooling around on the street with a few friends pretending to be gang members. But when he did that, he just hoped to protect himself. In the Wood District, if you don't get tough, you are destined to be bullied.
Besides, the thing that Yiyang does the most is to work part-time and play basketball everywhere. Something else? Yiyang really didn't have much interest in other things.
Therefore, when Yiyang lives alone on campus, his schedule is usually very boring.
Dormitories, classrooms, canteens, basketball courts... These are almost all of Yiyang's daily life. Although occasionally the Bulldogs teammates would ask Yiyang to go out and play together, but that was only once in a while after all.
This poor boy knew that he didn't come to university to experience the colorful world. If the road to professional basketball is not successful, then all his dreams will be just empty talk.
In addition, Stevens is a head coach who likes to study game videos very much. He will also send a lot of videos to Yiyang to learn from. In this way, Yiyang would not do anything else.
keep watching videos, keep training. In the eyes of others, Yiyang's life seems very boring, but he himself enjoys it.
Of course, as shooting coach Burris said. In the Bulldogs cheerleading team, there are really a few beautiful girls who are really interesting to Yiyang.
The boy who doesn't talk much, with a cool expression, always has a huge attraction for girls of this age.
But in the words of Stevens: "It's also a piece of wood in this respect."
It's not that Yiyang simply ignores others, but that he can't pay attention to the hidden meanings of the girls at all. If a girl dares to ask Yiyang to go out to play, Yiyang will definitely say: "Sorry, I have to train that day."
In fact, Yiyang used to have a very cheerful personality, but since the death of his father, Yiyang has not been able to get close to people easily. Coupled with the life in the Wood District, Yiyang always keeps a guard, so people will have a sense of distance when getting along with him.
Even Hayward, who has the best relationship with Yiyang in the team, does not seem to be so close to Yiyang.
Although Yiyang's life is not as colorful as other college students, these things have led to one thing, that is, Yiyang's progress on the basketball court can be described by leaps and bounds!
In team training, the gap between Norrid, the starting point guard of the Bulldogs last season, and Yiyang has grown. In the past, Norrid could also rely on his own experience to fight back and forth with Yiyang. But now, Norrid can no longer put too much pressure on Yiyang no matter on the offensive end or the defensive end.
Stevens is a little worried about this. He is not worried about Norrid, but worried that if this continues, the Bulldogs will not have a competent opponent for Yiyang to practice.
is not only on the training ground, but also in real-fire and live ammunition matches, Yiyang's performance has also refreshed people's perception of him time and time again.
In the third game of the season, the Bulldogs continued their journey at their home court Schinkel Arena. In 1986, the "court ambition", which was one of the best basketball movies in American film history, starred by Gene Hackman, was shot here. The movie tells the story of the Indiana High School team's bravery at the Hinkel Arena in 1954. The magical story of winning the state championship.
And now, the magical story of the movie's primary and secondary school team's counterattack and winning the championship seems to have gradually become a reality.
Facing the University of Chicago, the Bulldogs seemed to have played the most difficult game of the season. The scores of the two sides have been rising alternately, and no one can really widen the gap. For the Bulldogs team, which defeated their opponents by big scores in the first two games, today's competition is undoubtedly a test of their perseverance.
In the last 32 seconds of the game, the two sides reached a tie. Yiyang used a magical direct pass to penetrate the entire defense line of the University of Chicago, allowing the basketball to fly steadily into the hands of white center Matt Howard.
Under Yiyang's needles this season, Matt Howard can average 11.8 points per game, which is undoubtedly a new high in his NCAA career.
So when Matt received the ball, everyone at the University of Chicago retracted, hoping to interfere with the short center's offense.
Matt, who can lift the basketball, didn't attack the frame, but passed the basketball back the same way.
"Inside-Out! A tactic of scoring and scoring, also got an open shot from outside the three-point line! But from the current technical statistics, it has never been at the three-point line in the previous two games. Going out. Does this mean that he is not good at long shots? In short, now he has a good chance to win the game. Let's see how we will deal with it!" The voice of the commentator said what everyone said. , In fact, the University of Chicago took a bet on Yiyang's three-pointer and dared to empty it at such a critical moment.
Due to the shrinking of the lineup at the University of Chicago, it was already full of people within three seconds. If Yiyang chooses to break through, it is tantamount to suicide.
So the number one guard did not continue to hesitate, but jumped directly and raised the basketball! This guy should shoot directly from the three-point line!
The time on the rebound timer has become 26 seconds. If this three-pointer is scored, the University of Chicago will most likely fall short!
Yiyang shot a three-pointer for the first time in a formal game. For Yiyang, who has gradually become accustomed to the ultra-long three-point line of the NBA, the NCAA's three-pointer does not seem to be that far.
The basketball slammed into the rim hard, and only after a few collisions in the circle, he was willing to fall into the net obediently.
"A three-pointer! Also, he proved that he is a threat from beyond the three-point line! The University of Chicago paid a terrible price for their wrong defensive strategy!" The commentator raised his arms, Singer Stadium, it really was. A magical place like a movie.
After Yiyang scored a goal, the whole stadium was boiled because of him. Although it is not a buzzer, there is no doubt that this will most likely become a quasi lore!
"Hahaha, let's see, the training has started to take effect!" Hayward smiled and patted Yiyang's ass. The sweat they sway on the basketball court every night is not in vain.
In the end, under the defense of the Bulldogs, the University of Chicago's life-saving three-pointer failed to continue. After a hard fight, the Bulldogs successfully achieved three consecutive victories.
"21 points, 8 assists, 2 steals and only 1 turnover. Coach Stevens, what do you think of Yi's performance?" Now reporters are also smart, since there is nothing to ask from Yiyang himself. Come, then they will start with the people around Yiyang. Stevens, who discovered and nurtured Yiyang, is undoubtedly one of the most popular.
This year is only 33 years old, and he looks like a young handsome who is only half his actual age. He is already surrounded by microphones. But he did not escape, because this guy is always very happy to talk about Yiyang with others.
"He is one of the top guards in this league. People are talking about John Wall. Wesley Johnson and Evan Turner, but in my opinion, he is also a top perimeter player!" Vince didn't be stingy with his words of praise, mainly because he also believed that Yiyang was not the type that would float away after hearing a few words of praise.
The popularity of Yiyang and Butler University has soared, and many people have heard of these two names for the first time. But everyone knows that this Asian defender and this small school can no longer be ignored by people!
In the fourth game, facing the weak Northwestern University, the Bulldogs team was easy and happy to win. Yiyang scored 13 points in the game and also sent out 11 assists. Although he is not the most powerful firepower of the Bulldogs on the field, he is an indispensable part of the offensive end.
Shelvin Mark had 17 points, Hayward had 20 points, and Matt Howard had 11 points. These three people did not miss Yiyang's pass.
In the fifth game, the Bulldogs challenged Johns Hopkins University away. Yiyang, who was tactically targeted, only scored 8 points today, but sent a full 13 assists.
Yiyang's passing is different from Paul. He is not only steady, but also very pleasing to the eye. The coach of Johns Hopkins University even said in an interview after the game: "It's basically a white chocolate that won't make mistakes! His passing is fancy, you can't guess where he will send the ball in the next second. Place. Moreover, it can also guarantee that these things can be done with the number of mistakes under control. He is very good, I have to admit that he is the kind of No. 1 candidate that all coaches aspire to have"
Just like that, the Bulldogs and the team are advancing all the way. Until winter comes, and Christmas is approaching, the Bulldogs still maintained their number one position in the Big Ten!
11 wins and 1 loss ~www.mtlnovel.com~ If it weren't for Stevens's last game to avoid injury to the players who used a large-scale rotation, maybe the Bulldogs still maintain their undefeated golden status! And Yiyang's terrible data of 15.2 points and 9.8 assists per game made this unknown poor boy a star player familiar to everyone in the NCAA league!
More and more basketball shows will show the name of Yiyang, and even some NBA game commentators will occasionally talk about this point guard who is in the Big Ten.
"As long as they also announce their participation in the draft, all the teams in the lottery area have to reconsider their draft plans." TNT's well-known commentator Kenny Smith even commented on Yiyang while chatting on the show.
"YI? Yi Jianlian? Wait, did I go back in time? Isn't it 2009 now!?" Charles Barkley, who partnered with Kenny Smith on the show, looked confused.
"It's not that Yi, man. Believe me, we should be able to see him in the NBA soon! You will know him then!" Kenny Smith smiled jokingly.
Now, many NBA team scouts actually have a detailed report from Yiyang, detailing how much time it takes him to dribble the ball through the half to get accurate results. As long as Yiyang announces to participate in the draft, the scouts will immediately hand over the report to the general manager!
Whether to announce to participate in this year's NBA Draft, this is also what Yiyang has to make a choice at present. And after the Christmas holidays, Yiyang may have an answer.
The Chinese boy from the Wood District has already made a name for himself in the NCAA. Now, it may be time to make the next decision in the life stage.
