One Guard

A stocky defender with small eyes and a round head stopped what he was doing and stared at the opposite half. The yellow-skinned guy in the No. 1 jersey looked up.

Shelvin Mark's reputation has long been known. How can this Asian boy be able to make Mark give up his No. 1 jersey.

Before the start of the game, Rick Barnes, the meritorious coach of the University of Texas Longhorns, reminded him more than once that he should be careful of the opponent's No. 1 point guard. But in Bradley's view, that No. 1 is nothing to be wary of.

His slightly thinner figure and height not a few centimeters taller than him made Bradley feel relieved. Rick Barnes is a good coach. The reason why he was able to lead the team into March Madness for 11 consecutive years is precisely because he was cautious.

But in Bradley's view, this time, his coach was too cautious. For a guy like Yiyang, Bradley thinks he can defend as much as he wants!

"Stinky boy! What are you looking at? Hurry up and warm up!?" Just as Bradley was staring at Yiyang in a daze, Barnes' deep roar spread to the court.

Bradley smiled at the fat white coach, and then devoted himself to the warm-up again.

Unlike Bradley's ease, University of Texas Longhorns coach Rick Barnes didn't look at ease. The coach watched a lot of Bulldogs game videos. The strength of this Big Ten champion cannot be underestimated.

Naturally, Hayward and Shelvin Mark needn't say much, and the No. 1 rookie named Yi has always made Barnes feel uneasy.

Although his own Bradley is known as the "guard killer", he was also publicly praised by Celtics coach Doug Rivers. But Barnes still couldn't rest assured that the most frightening thing about the No. 1 guard was not his outstanding performance, but his almost constant improvement!

Barnes would rather prepare Bradley than underestimate his opponent. As a coach who can lead the team into March Madness for 11 consecutive years, he knows very well that underestimating the enemy will only bring fatal disasters to the team.

"Be careful, too. Bradley's defense is like a mad dog. If you need a pick-and-roll, I will come out and cooperate with you at any time." In the other half, Matt Howard chatted with Yiyang while shooting.

"Don't worry, I will deal with him. Concentrate, the basketball will be in your hands at any time." Yiyang raised the corner of his mouth at Matt Howard. At the beginning, he might not have imagined that he would become friends with this big white man who had an argument with him.

Players from both sides are warming up intensely, and the on-site commentators are also in place one by one.

Reggie Miller, the former NBA superstar was sent by TN.T TV station to undertake the commentary work today. It can also be seen from this how much TN.T TV station attaches importance to this game.

In addition, NCAA also added Chinese commentary seats on the scene for the first time this year. Although there is no NCAA live broadcast in China, the huge Chinese student population in the United States is also a big cake that the NCAA does not want to let go. The addition of Chinese commentary will undoubtedly attract more Chinese attention to Yiyang's games.

"The brightest star player in the Butler University team is their forward Gordon Hayward, averaging 15.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, allowing this second-year white player to prepare for the NCAA tournament. Attention. Before that, his predicted draft prospect was probably only in the middle of the second round. But now, Hayward will have a chance to enter the lottery zone in one fell swoop!" Reggie Miller did not waste time, but started Introduce the players of both sides, and also warm up for my commentary work later.

"As for Butler University's other weapon, no, it's not Shelvin Mark. Although Mark is also very good, I have to admit,

The tactical status in the hands of Coach Stevens has surpassed that of the senior Mark. This season, he is also the player with the most assists per game among all participating players in the NCAA, as high as 9.5 assists, making him unrivaled. In this era where small players like to take the ball and do it alone, it is undoubtedly a good interpretation of the meaning of the word point guard. All right! We saw that the players on both sides had finished warming up, and Coach Stevens and Coach Barnes were making final deployments to the team! Audience friends, the intense March Madness tournament begins now! "

The scene has been overwhelmed by the roars of the fans. The NCAA tournament is all played on neutral courts, so it's hard to tell which side the fans support. It's possible they don't support either side, and this group of people who love basketball just want to enjoy a feast.

"Remember! To prevent the Longhorns from breaking through, you can let them shoot, but you must not let them threaten the basket! Tough! Play hard for me! These guys dare to enter the penalty area, you make him look good!" Stevens had to raise his voice to let the players hear what he was saying.

With a loud electronic beep, Stevens slapped the starters on their butts, urging them to get on the field.

Yiyang looked around him, March Madness, even if it was only the first round, the atmosphere of the game was almost the same as the NBA scene he saw on TV.

But what surprised Yiyang was that in the stands, there were many signs holding a big number "1" and the letters "YI" on them. This is the first time Yiyang has seen fans supporting him outside the home court for so many years.

A warm feeling surged in this cold boy's heart. Basketball is really getting more and more interesting.

Players from both sides stood up according to their positions. The "meat mountain" of Dexter Pittman seemed to be twice the size of Matt Howard. The eyes of Hayward and Mike James also sparked.

Yiyang looked up and saw that Bradley was also looking at him seriously. The game has not yet started, and both sides are already determined to fight to the death!

The referee whistled, and the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee. Under the cheers of the fans, Matt Howard lightly touched the pad, and the basketball flew into Yiyang's hands.

Although Pittman has an advantage in height, his excessive weight and poor athletic ability make it almost impossible for him to jump up.

Yiyang didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, and immediately started sprinting! On the opposite side, Bradley, wearing an orange number zero jersey, moved quickly. These two leading defenders started a duel from the first second of the game!

Yiyang's sudden attack did not catch Bradley off guard. This guy's sensitive lateral movement ability allowed him to block Yiyang's breakthrough route just right.

Yiyang had no choice but to slow down and slow down the pace, so as not to bump headfirst. This guy really lives up to his reputation!

Bradley's timely blocking made the Bulldogs' sudden attack come to naught, and Yiyang had to wait until his teammates settled down and slowly grind the ground against the Longhorns.

During this period, Bradley has been inseparable in front of Yiyang. This guy neither rushed forward to steal, nor did he give Yiyang room to sprint. His defensive position is very mature, fulfilling the evaluation of Celtics coach Doug Rivers.

Yiyang glanced in front of him. Gordon Hayward and Shelvin Mark were still looking for opportunities by running without the ball, and Willie Wesley and Matt Howard were doing pick-and-rolls without the ball.

When Hayward ran out of position according to the tactics, Yiyang suddenly passed the ball, and he saw an opportunity!

However, what Ling Yiyang didn't expect was that Bradley actually judged his intention to pass the ball! This stocky guy stretched out his hand to block, so Yiyang had to increase the arc of the pass.

Although the ball was passed successfully, due to interference from Bradley, the ball did not move according to Yiyang's expected trajectory.

At this moment, Mike James, a small forward who relied on his athletic ability to straddle the NCAA field, suddenly exerted his strength and caught Yiyang's pass before Hayward!

"A mistake! Yi's first pass was a mistake!" Reggie Miller spread his hands, and most of the people present, including Stevens, also opened their mouths.

For a point guard with very few turnovers, the turnover on the first goal of the game was something they had never thought of before.

Mike. James did not hesitate after the steal and immediately launched a conversion attack. The athletic ability of the University of Texas Longhorns is indeed much better than that of the Bulldogs, which is why Stevens asked the players not to let go.

Hayward tried his best to catch up behind Mike James, while Yiyang stuck to Bradley inseparably. It seems that the Longhorns don't have a decent chance for this ball.

However, Mike James directly faced Hayward's chasing defense, facing Yiyang who was under the basket and just jumped straight up for a layup!

In the air, Mike James and Yiyang collided violently, Yiyang flew directly out of the baseline, and Mike James also deformed in the air.

However, for Mike James, who is full of energy and used to forcing layups in the air, none of these obstacles can stop him!

I saw Mike James twisting his body in the air and throwing the basketball to the backboard. Hayward flew forward, but missed the basketball with his palm by a hair.

The orange ball hit the backboard lightly, before bouncing back into the hoop. On the first goal of the game, the Longhorns took the lead in scoring in a way that they are very good at!

"How should I put it? The Longhorns actually didn't have a good chance. But Mike James, he is the kind of player who is good at throwing himself in the air and fighting. As for Bradley, everyone has seen it .If it wasn't for him, it is very likely that there would be no mistakes at all. I have to say that the champion of the Big Ten League has encountered real trouble today!" Reggie Miller was a little disappointed, because he thought Yiyang's Performance will be better.

Yiyang on the field pulled Hayward's forearm and stood up again.

"My fault buddy, my fault!" Yi Yang gritted his teeth, as if he was very dissatisfied with his performance just now.

"Hey, it's okay buddy, it's the first ball..."

"No! I promise, buddy, this kind of thing won't happen again!" Yiyang decisively interrupted Hayward's speech, and then waited for Hayward to send the baseline ball.

Over there, Bradley was proudly high-fiving Mike James. And Yiyang, who was not very satisfied with his performance, was ready to raise his Thor's Hammer and draw a yellow lightning bolt on the court!

Stevens was still standing calmly on the sidelines, he saw Yiyang's expression, saw Yiyang's burning eyes. Perhaps, for this game, this mistake at the beginning may not be a bad thing...
