One Guard

"Lightning! Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!..." The fans in the entire stadium were shouting the word lightning in a neat and regular manner.

The scene was completely boiling, and even the commentators wearing earphones in the commentary booth were infected by the deafening shouts.

The on-site camera lens immediately gave Yiyang a close-up. There was no smile on the Asian defender's face, even though he had just completed a beautiful one-stop fast break.

Cold, this is how the fans in front of the TV commented on Yiyang. Even though the scene was already in full swing, Yiyang still looked cold.

However, it is precisely because of Yiyang's characteristics that he is so terrifying! As an NCAA freshman, he can run through opposing defenses and make layups against the Longhorns' two leading stars. Without a calm and big heart, it is impossible to do this at all.

Mike James and Bradley looked at each other, they still couldn't believe that the Asian man could finish such a beautiful attack on both of their heads.

The big screen has already started to replay the scene of Yiyang just making a fast break and pulling the bar for a layup, and Yiyang himself looked up. No one noticed that the No. 1 guard's mouth was slightly upturned.

After being scored by Yiyang, the Longhorns are already 9 points behind the Bulldogs. And the most terrible thing is that the confidence of the University of Texas players is about to collapse because of Yiyang.

Bradley can be said to be one of the best defensive guards in the entire NCAA league. If even he can't do anything about Yiyang, then others can't do anything.

Sometimes it takes an entire offensive climax to deliver a devastating blow. But sometimes, it just takes the killing blow!

Yiyang's layup was worth far more than two points. The inner fluctuations of the Longhorns players would make them more and more deviated from the right track.

In the next attack, Bradley was eager to use a score to justify himself and save the team's face. However, young people are always too impatient. Bradley, who is also a first-year student, pushed Yiyang into the penalty area, but was fouled by Matt Howard, who had been waiting at the basket for a long time.

The ball is switched again, and the Bulldogs now have a chance to widen the point difference to double digits.

Yiyang controlled the ball and approached step by step, and the hearts of the Longhorns players became faster and faster.

This time, Yiyang didn't call the pick-and-roll, but suddenly started it directly, as if intending to forcefully wipe Bradley by speed.

Bradley, who was already exhausted, slowed down by a second, and in this second, Yiyang really rushed in.

The moment Yiyang entered the penalty area, Reggie Miller, who was sitting in the commentary booth, could see that the entire Longhorn team's defense shrank towards Yiyang.

Surrounded by Longhorns players in orange jerseys, Yiyang seemed to be cornered for the long-running guard.

But Yiyang didn't intend to end the attack by himself at all with this ball. Don't forget, this guy's favorite thing to do on the basketball court is to pass the ball! Although Yiyang has found the feeling of scoring through several attacks, he never shoots blindly.

Yiyang made a sudden pass, and the basketball bounced off the wooden floor between Mike James and Pittman.

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads, but they all gasped. In the left corner, Gordon Hayward is right in place. It's nearly impossible for the Bulldogs leading scorer to waste open shots like this!

Mike James ran away, hoping to interfere with Hayward's shooting as much as possible. However, it was too late. Yiyang's wonderful pass allowed Hayward to shoot directly and comfortably without even adjusting. When Mike. James raised his arms and jumped high, the basketball had already flown into the air.

Rick Barnes stared at the spinning basketball,

How he wished that the basketball would knock out of the frame. Because if the point difference on the court is widened to 10 points, Barnes' work will be very difficult to carry out.

The basketball first hit the side of the basket, then bounced vertically upwards. Pittman and Matt fought fiercely at the basket, and both sides hoped to get the ball in this critical round.

However, the basketball that bounced back into the air fell directly into the net. 32 to 44, the University of Texas Longhorns officially fell behind Butler University by 12 points!

Hayward happily raised his hands and made a "3" gesture. After that, he pointed to Yiyang, and nodded his thanks to the latter.

Yiyang's wonderful series finally gave Hayward, who had been silent for a long time, a chance to feel proud.

With just two minutes to go in the first half, the Longhorns trailed by 12 points. The most terrible thing is that the main force under Barnes is exhausted. Barnes' only option was to send a substitute player on the field.

For Stevens, he also replaced all five starters. Now that the team is far ahead, Stevens can use the rotation with confidence.

But under the leadership of Yiyang's backup Noreed, the Bulldogs' second unit played quite well. At the end of the halftime game, the point difference between the two sides was pulled to 17 points!

After returning to the locker room during the intermission, everyone joked with Yiyang. There is no doubt that his magical one-stop fast break has also left a deep impression on his teammates.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Although the game was played in the neutral arena, there is no doubt that it has actually become the home court of Butler University. As soon as Yiyang got the ball in the second half of the game, the fans started shouting crazily.

This is Mike James' breakthrough layup, but Hayward interfered. Yiyang caught the defensive rebound, and the atmosphere of the scene changed instantly.

In the "escort" of the fans, Bradley has changed from a defensive champion to a defensive loophole. The No. 0 defender worked very hard, but he couldn't find a way to limit Yiyang.

A player who can shoot and pass and keep a clear mind at all times is the most difficult to guard. Because this is not a problem of individual defense, once this kind of defender is really opened up, the whole team will be activated!

At the beginning of the second half, Yiyang did not continue his scoring journey, but did a good job as a point guard.

As for why this happened, it was all arranged by Stevens. As long as the team can control the situation at the beginning of the second half, then the University of Texas will not be able to make any more waves.

"Yi's pass line is very clear. He first gave the ball to Hayward. Hayward feinted and shot to the basket. Then Shelvin Mark! Mark received the pass from Hayward at the free throw line and lightly One light shot, two more points! Although this is not a direct assist from Yi, it can also well reflect the tactics arranged by the coach. For a No. 1 position, this is enough!"

"He also stole Pittman! Why did Coach Barnes keep Pittman on the field? This guy completely messed up the situation on the field!"

"From Yi and Shervin Mark's aerial cooperation! BOOM, domineering dunk! Shervin Mark is really amazing!"

Yiyang's name became the most frequently spoken word by Reggie Miller. And the fighting spirit of the University of Texas, like dying fireworks, is getting dimmer.

When the game progressed to the fifth minute of the second half, Bradley and others no longer had the strength to break through. But in order to be able to bite the 10-point difference, the University of Texas had to attack again.

So, they chose a way that they are least good at - shooting.

At the beginning, Bradley successfully hit a three-pointer on Yiyang's head. Everyone seemed to see hope at that moment, even Barnes thought so.

However, that three-pointer became the only three-pointer Bradley scored in this game. In the subsequent games, whether it was Bradley or Mike James, the shortcomings of their extremely poor shooting skills were fully exposed.

Stevens still practiced the principle of throwing in and not letting in. Facing a lot of open shots, the University of Texas couldn't make the ball.

The hope of victory, for the University of Texas, seems to have become increasingly elusive...

※※※

Bradley was dribbling the ball tiredly. He looked up at the score and time on the big screen, and his little strength seemed to be taken away in an instant.

In front of Bradley is Yiyang who has already become famous in the first battle. Stevens has already replaced the substitute lineup, but Yiyang is the only starter who is still on the field. With him around, the Bulldogs' young coaches won't have to worry about the University of Texas coming back.

Bradley was called by ESPN in high school as a guard at the same level as Wall. This round-headed, small-eyed guy doesn't know what made him look like he is now.

In fact, Bradley's 16 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 block today are not bad, and Yiyang only scored 14 points under Bradley's defense.

But judging from his performance on the court, Yiyang really beat Bradley by several blocks.

Bradley shook his head, now is not the time to think about it. This attack will determine whether the Longhorns still have hope. If scored, the point difference is only 7 points, and the game can continue. If you miss, the game will enter garbage time 50 seconds earlier.

Bradley couldn't help but increase the frequency of his dribbling. Yiyang, who was thinking while stepping back, knew that the zero number was about to break through!

Bradley rushed forward suddenly, his strong body seemed to be able to knock out the slightly thin Yiyang.

Yiyang didn't try to block it, but followed Bradley's side to slow down the No. 0 defender's attacking pace.

Bradley suddenly stopped suddenly, and Yiyang was pulled away in an instant!

The No. 0 defender who was eager to counterattack retreated and shot directly. While he was lifting the basketball, Yiyang saw the timing and slapped the basketball in Bradley's hand hard!

The basketball was dropped, Yiyang hurried up to pick it up and quickly pushed it forward.

After landing, the exhausted Bradley suddenly lost his legs and fell to the ground.

He missed the most important attack because of that Asian defender. Missing this attack also means...

"Let's congratulate the Butler University Bulldogs, they have advanced to the top 32 of the NCAA March Madness Tournament!" Reggie Miller's voice even spread to the court, and Bradley, who was sitting on the ground, closed his mouth tightly. Eye. A unwilling tear was squeezed out from the corner of his eye.

For him, everything is over!
