One Guard

Mike Krzyzewski looked at the players in front of him with satisfaction. This group of guys who played in his hands for two to three years knew what to do to win. Their perfect operation allowed Duke to easily gain a 10-point lead. It seems that the so-called biggest dark horse is nothing more than that.

Of course, the experienced old coach K is not the kind of coach who easily underestimates the enemy. If he's the type to be easily proud, there's no way he could be one of the greatest names in NCAA history.

Old K knows that the ace of the Bulldogs is Yiyang. As for their ace, they didn't play much throughout the first half due to the number of fouls. After this timeout, Stevens will definitely bring up the No. 1 guard. Duke must be fully prepared. This guy who can bring the Bulldogs to the championship lore in just his first year is definitely not an ordinary person!

"After playing later, continue to foul the opponent's No. 1 defender! He has already committed two fouls. As long as he fouls one or two more times, Coach Stevens will have to replace him. Just like you As you did just now, use fouls to restrict his hands and feet!" The old coach K looked at Stevens who was nervously arranging tactics in the other half, and explained to his players.

He doesn't have to worry about the tactical execution ability of his players, as long as Old K says it, these guys can do it. What else can limit a player more than directly making him unable to play? What old K has to do now is to leave no room for Yiyang to display his strength!

The timeout was finally over, and the Bulldogs fans, who were waiting anxiously, saw Yiyang go into battle again, and they cheered without hesitation, cheering for this heroic No. 1 guard.

On the first ball after returning to the court, Yiyang faced Nolan Smith, who was completely unable to keep up with him, and called Willie Wesley's pick-and-roll to break through.

Duke's starting power forward Lance Thomas wanted to imitate Zubeck's position and repeat the same trick, luring Yiyang to run into him and draw an offensive foul.

This time, Yiyang has an extra heart. When he wiped Nolan Smith, he didn't sprint with all his strength, but paused!

With just one slam on the brakes, Yiyang was able to adjust his direction, and then bypassed Lance Thomas' block!

Although there was a pause in the middle, no one could catch up to Yiyang after accelerating again. This guy went straight into the restricted area like a sharp sword. In the restricted area, Duke's "shot-blocking maniac" Brian Zubeck was ready to defend. Although Yiyang made a breakthrough, it was by no means so easy for him to score points.

Seeing that Zubeck took two steps forward to block himself, Yiyang threw the ball to the basket without hesitation.

Zubeck took off with all his strength and stretched out his long arms, but the basketball still flew into the penalty area by rubbing Zubeck's fingertips.

"Floater? We played in the March Madness Championship for a season, and we rarely saw anyone using floaters to attack." Reggie Miller was a little puzzled. Yiyang used the least of floaters and three-pointers. The two offensive methods.

Not only Reggie Miller, but even Stevens frowned. Yiyang's throwing hit rate has not been ideal. At this critical moment, how could Yiyang use such an unsure way to attack?

That dawned on everyone when Bulldogs backup center Smith leaped high from behind Zubeck and grabbed the ball and put it in the hoop. This fellow Yiyang will never do anything he is not sure about!

"Alley oop! Also used his own breakthrough to get Zubeck to pass a good pass to his inside player. The latter made an alley-oop dunk with no one to mark! As soon as Yiyang came back, he put the Bulldogs The team's offense has been fully revitalized!"

Old K shook his head rascally. This kid's vision and overall situation are really out of line with his age. But it doesn't matter, Duke still sits on an eight-point advantage, and they have enough time to let Yiyang fall back into the quagmire.

Based on the principle of continuing to make fouls, Nolan Smith increased his initiative in singles. This time, after receiving a pass from Sheyer, he directly relied on Yiyang to break through, intending to force another layup and make a foul.

But what Nolan Smith didn't expect was that Yiyang, who had been fouled twice, dared to reach for the ball during his breakthrough!

Smith hurriedly leaned on Yiyang, hoping to create the illusion that he was violated. But before he could do that, Yi Yang managed to stab the basketball away from his hand!

Nolan Smith turned around quickly after losing the ball! But Yiyang swooped directly, fell to the ground and pressed the basketball firmly under his body.

Seeing Shelvin Mark start running forward, Yiyang, lying on the ground, passed the ball directly. No one thought the guard could pass the ball while lying on the ground, so when Shelvin Mack caught the ball, the Bulldogs captain was empty!

Mark didn't dare to slack off, and rushed directly. Yiyang used his own efforts to create a fast break opportunity for the Bulldogs. Shelvin Mark made an easy layup.

"Nolan! I didn't ask you to give the opponent a score!" Seeing that the Bulldogs scored four points in a row after Yiyang came on the field, old Coach K was a little unhappy.

Duke attacked again, and Nolan Smith was still attacking with the goal of fouling Yiyang. This time he calmed down a little and didn't go it alone with Yiyang, but combined the strength of his teammates so that he could get to the basket more easily.

He first passed a few handballs, then moved to the middle distance by running, and finally the basketball came in so that he could break through easily.

Yiyang knew that he had been fouled twice, but he couldn't just watch the opponent get a layup. Yiyang still decided to jump high to prevent Nolan Smith's layup.

"Damn it!" Stevens held his forehead. If the ball really hit, the referee would probably blow his whistle! If Yiyang fouled again, Stevens would really be helpless!

"Ah!" At this critical moment, Willie Wesley, a strong and fierce power forward, suddenly appeared. Before Yiyang, he slapped Nolan Smith out of the baseline with the ball!

"Wow! Vicious defense! I believe that with Willy's defense this time, Duke players will not dare to go to the basket so easily!" Reggie Miller couldn't help touching his hands. Elbow, Nolan Smith fell hard enough.

"This is a malicious foul!" This time, it was Old K's turn to yell at the referee.

The referee ignored Coach K. Even if he made a wrong judgment, it is impossible for him to change the judgment at this moment. Nolan Smith, whose physical fitness was not very good, was knocked into a mess, and after he walked to the free throw line, he still didn't seem to recover.

Willie Wesley raised his arm and did not escape being called for a foul. His own purpose is to take the next foul for Yiyang.

Nolan Smith, who was hit badly, went straight out of the frame for his first free throw. According to NCAA rules, after the first free throw is missed, players can start to compete for rebounds, and the free throw side will not get a second free throw.

The reason why the NCAA does this is that they don't want college players to do things like deliberately looking for fouls. The role of this rule happened to be well reflected in Nolan Smith at this moment.

Yiyang took the basketball from Willy Wesley, who grabbed the rebound, and then changed the rhythm of controlling the ball before, he ran straight to the frontcourt!

"Pay attention to defense! Pay attention to defense!" Krzyzewski reminded the players who had not yet fully settled down on the sidelines. In the blink of an eye, Yiyang had already reached Nolan Smith with the ball.

"Whoosh!" Yiyang used a quick change of direction to cleanse Nolan Smith who hadn't realized what happened! After Yiyang rushed to the basket, he raised the basketball, as if he was about to make a layup!

"Shot-blocking maniac" Brian Zubeck jumped up high, ready to give this No. 1 some color! But when the white center took off, he realized that he had been fooled!

Yiyang didn't take off, but suddenly stopped and retracted the raised basketball, turned around on the spot, dodged Zubeck who had already jumped up, and easily picked the basket to score!

"Is this a dream dance!? His movements remind me of Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo! Very exciting goal, audience friends, since he also played, the Bulldogs have Six points in a row!" It wasn't until Weber reminded that many fans were surprised to find that the gap that had been drawn to double digits was now only four points!

In the next attack, Sheyer, who was a little too anxious to score, made a hasty three-pointer and knocked out of the frame. Sheyer is good at everything, but there is always a little haste. As long as the team doesn't score for several possessions in a row, this guy will always take a single shot.

This time, Yiyang made a long pass before halftime, and the basketball crossed a diagonal line. In the left corner, Shelvin Mark was ready!

Duke's defensive center of gravity immediately tilted, and Shelvin Mark became the key blocking target of all defensive players at this time.

By the time Mark received the basketball, the open space he ran out of was gone. But the original owner of the No. 1 jersey didn't force himself to shoot, but passed the basketball out of the crowd again!

This time, the basketball was not passed to someone else, but to Yiyang who was beyond the three-point line.

The old coach K has studied Yiyang for a long time. This guy rarely takes shots outside the three-point line, because his shooting outside the three-point line is not stable.

Now, facing a big vacancy, Yiyang didn't hesitate, just pull up and cast!

In fact, after a season of hard training, the NCAA three-point line is no longer far away for Yiyang. It's just because of his playing habits for so many years that Yiyang is less likely to choose to use three-pointers to end the offense.

Yiyang's decisive shot surprised Old K. He didn't know that in private, Yiyang had already shot this kind of ball thousands of times!

Yiyang's shots are no longer as blunt as before, and the basketball is no longer "hard" hitting the basket. The soft shot combined with the graceful flying arc of the basketball made the old Coach K off the court break out in a cold sweat.

"Swipe!" The sound of the Nets tumbling sounded.

"Boom!" The fans in the stands exploded again.

"Damn it!" Old Coach K threw down the plastic tactical board in his hand in anger. Yiyang's strength still far exceeded Old K's expectation! Those idiots actually ranked such a guy as the 15th pick in the first round! If old K was a scout, he would definitely write this in the scout report.

"John Wall will undoubtedly be the No. 1 pick, but apart from John Wall, if you choose Yiyang, it is equivalent to choosing a No. 1 pick."

Yiyang's three-pointer completely ended the first half of the game between the two sides. Under his leadership, the Bulldogs, who were ten points behind, chased the score to only one point behind through a 9-0 offensive climax!

With a "leading advantage", the old coach K walked towards the player channel with a dull face. Butler's trump card is more troublesome than Old K originally imagined!
