One Guard
Chapter 48: Even the score? kill the game?
When Yiyang made that crucial three-pointer and ended the first half of the competition between the two sides, all the commentators were so surprised that their mouths grew wide.
Even a team as strong as Duke could not stop Yiyang from performing his crazy performance. The old coach K was eager to let Yiyang get fouled again, but after returning to the court, Yiyang not only did not foul, but even shot and passed to chase the 10-point difference to only 1 point!
Mu Ran raised his camera and took several photos of Yiyang in succession. On the court, other members of the Bulldogs came up to high-five Yiyang one after another. Being able to lead the team to launch a Jedi counterattack when Hayward is resting, Yiyang has become a well-deserved number one core at this moment!
Everyone knows that if there is even a minute more in the first half, Duke may not even be able to keep this point advantage.
It seems that Duke, who maintains the lead, is more nervous than Butler. The Blue Devils lowered their heads one by one and followed the old coach K into the player tunnel. As for the stands, the blue "waves" had already rolled violently.
"It's incredible Reggie. We thought Duke had firmly controlled the game. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Yi disrupted the old coach K's plan. If they want to win the game, they must work harder." Ke Reece Webber is really in love with the No. 1 defender now, and the ability to change the game is not something everyone has.
"Yi's performance is really wonderful. The old coach K may not have thought that the Chinese would bring them such a big trouble. But in the second half of the game, I believe that the old coach K will make more arrangements for Yi. For the Yihe Bulldogs In other words, a bigger challenge has just begun!" Reggie Miller's words put an end to the battle between the two sides in the first half.
Now, all basketball fans are already excited. Just now, the Bulldogs, an unknown team, almost overthrew Duke, a giant, to the ground! Maybe today will really become a legendary day?
"Switch on the pick-and-roll! Don't give him any room to move! Block his passing lanes and always have a defender in front of him! Also the brain of the Bulldogs, as long as the brain is paralyzed, we can win the game smoothly Work harder, he's just a first-year rookie! I don't care if he's going to the NBA or not, and I don't care if people like him or not. All I know is, this guy's show must be over!" Old K Shouting furiously like thunder in the locker room, the originally good situation was completely wiped out because of Yiyang's appearance.
Under the anger of Old K, none of the Duke players dared to relax in the second half of the game.
Fifteen minutes later, players from both sides finally returned to the court. The much-anticipated NCAA March Madness Tournament Finals has reached its final moment!
Duke, who kicked off the ball first, was not going well as soon as he came on the court. Kyle Singler's shot from outside the three-point line was interfered by Hayward, and it missed by a tiny bit and went out of the frame.
On the other hand, for the Bulldogs, Hayward, who got a full rest in the first half of the game, is now full of energy. The physical strength is also very helpful to the stability of the player's shooting.
Yiyang didn't even need to break through this time, he waited until Hayward ran out of space and passed the ball directly. Hayward's ability to catch and shoot is very good. Heyward has already shot before the slightly slow-footed Singler can block it.
The basketball quickly flew to the basket and hit the heart directly. After being aggrieved for so long, the Bulldogs finally completed the overtake!
However, Duke, who is also eager for victory and championships, is not to be outdone. Hayward just scored a goal here, and after passing, Kyle Singler calmly shot from outside the three-point line through the pick-and-roll.
Instead of bouncing out like in the previous round, the basketball fell straight into the net. Singler, the white striker, after Hayward scored a goal, quickly came up with his own response!
In the ensuing game, the two sides still refused to give in to each other. As game time dwindles,
On the contrary, the physical contact between the two sides is increasing. Because the two teams have come up with the best defensive lineup, and the defensive strength is quite high, so the offense of the two teams has not really opened up.
This situation continued until the last two minutes of the game. As Schayer broke through the basket and fouled Matt Howard, Duke once again stood at the free throw line.
Schayer's performance at critical moments is always very solid, and today is no exception. The defender steadily made two free throws in front of the free throw line, officially widening the point difference to 5 points with only two minutes left in the game!
At this time, Yiyang, who caught the bottom line again, obviously felt a little tired. He didn't rest long in the second half of the game, and the intensity of the game was far greater than all previous games. The physical exertion is destined to be quite huge.
But the No. 1 guard did not give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to run towards Duke's iron-walled defense with the ball.
Coach K's method of increasing physical confrontation against Yiyang has indeed achieved certain results. Although Yiyang's confrontation ability is not so weak, it is by no means good.
This time, Nolan Smith didn't change his defensive strategy, but pressed himself close to the defense when Yiyang just reached the three-point line, creating pressure on Yiyang as much as possible.
Panting, Yiyang hurriedly protected the basketball, he must not make mistakes at such a critical moment! Yiyang supported Nolan Smith with one hand and dribbled the ball with the other, but his eyes were observing the running positions of his teammates.
Shelvin Mark's sudden escape gave him a bit of space. Yiyang looked at Mark's position and was about to pass the ball, but suddenly kicked his leg. His eyes were just an illusion, and Yiyang's goal was to break through!
This unexpected acceleration made Nolan Smith half a body behind Yiyang. But he is not worried, someone will make up for it later!
Facing Sheyer, who came to defend and crossed in front of him, Yiyang still didn't have any intention of slowing down. Shayer has already stood on both feet, if Yiyang goes on a rampage, he can still get an offensive foul!
The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and just when there is only a small difference, Yiyang suddenly turns around at a high speed with Sheyer as the axis!
Sheyer was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, all the Yiyang people had disappeared.
After turning around, Yiyang took advantage of the opportunity and raised his arm to pick a basket. The basketball passed Brian Zubeck's fingertips, hit the backboard, and bounced into the net!
"Good shot! The point difference has also been narrowed, and the Bulldogs still have a chance!" Reggie Miller knew that this game was destined to be extraordinary with a gap of 3 points in 50 seconds!
Ten seconds later, the Bulldogs made a comeback. This time, Yiyang directly used a super long ground pass, allowing the basketball to pass through the crowd and bounce back into Matt Howard's hands.
Everyone admired Yiyang's profound passing skills. This kind of ultra-long-distance ground-hitting pass is usually only capable of being passed by the top point guards in the NBA. But Yiyang did it with ease.
After Matt Howard received the basketball, Zubeck was defending beside him, but Matt, who had a tough attitude, got up straight away, froze in the air against Zubeck's collision, and made it hard to advance the ball!
"Yeah!" The blue crowd was completely boiling, they raised their arms in the stands, and Yiyang's mother was among them.
With only 1 point difference left, the Bulldogs and Yiyang once again stood at the crossroads of fate.
Basketball fans across the United States dare not blink, a living legend is likely to be born in this half minute!
Nolan Smith found himself a little nervous. His heart beat faster than normal when he was holding the ball forward. What the black point guard didn't know was that his nervousness made his ball control full of loopholes!
Yiyang is like a lion that has been staring at its prey. When the "prey" Nolan Smith approaches him, Yiyang sprints and stabs the basketball away from Nolan Smith's hand!
Because Yiyang started too suddenly, after stabbing the basketball away, Yiyang staggered and was about to fall.
At this time, Yiyang made a sudden pounce and pinned the basketball tightly under his body. Stevens immediately called a timeout to keep the ball!
"My God! In the last 28 seconds, the Bulldogs, who were one point behind, got the ball! The story in the movie "Ambition" is very likely to be successfully reproduced by Butler, who has been hacking to the end!" Reggie Miller himself He has created countless desperate moments before, but at this moment, as a commentator, he also clenched his fists nervously!
"Screen for Gordon! We need to give him a chance! Gordon! Catch and shoot, finish the shot! We're going to win, Duke's gone! Just a little more and we're going to win the championship! ’” Stevens tensely draws on the tactical board. On the other hand, the old coach K is also not easy.
Soon, the tense game resumed. Under the interference of the taller Zubeck, Matt Howard couldn't serve the ball for a long time! Stevens had no choice but to call the second timeout in a row, which was also the last timeout in his hands!
After some arrangements, Matt Howard finally passed the basketball to Yiyang as he wished.
Yiyang gestured for his teammates to pull away. Old K stood nervously on the sidelines, he thought Yiyang was going to watch the singles!
However, after successfully breaking through, Yiyang suddenly made a pass to the left after attracting the defense. Hayward, who received the basketball, got a chance to kill the game. Just like Stevens arranged, he caught and shot!
But it's not just the Bulldogs who are eager to win the championship. The Duke Blue Devils also cannot accept failure. So Brian Zubeck, the "shot-blocking maniac" who was shrinking from the basket, rushed out in two big strides. Relying on his advantage of height and arm length, he abruptly slapped the basketball that Hayward threw. go back!
"No!" The Bulldogs fans in the stands hugged their heads, and some fans even covered their eyes, not daring to watch what happened on the field.
When Nolan Smith received the blown basketball, Yiyang rushed up and hugged Nolan Smith without any hesitation. Tactical foul, this is Yiyang's only choice!
"Brian Zubeck's block almost shattered Butler's championship dream! Now the Bulldogs have no timeout, and Duke has two free throws! If Nolan Smith makes two free throws, then the Bulldogs We will be behind by three points! Duke can be said to have firmly controlled the game in the last ten seconds!"
Accompanied by the yelling of the commentator and the deafening boos of the fans, Nolan Smith stood at the free throw line under great pressure.
The boos in Lucas Stadium made Smith feel as if the hardwood floor was shaking under his feet. Moreover, he was exhausted by Yiyang, and he was no longer able to make steady moves.
In the first free throw, the basketball bounced several times on the rim before falling into the net in a thrilling manner.
Nolan Smith let out a big breath for the second free throw. He raised the basketball, pressed his wrists, pointed his fingers...
"Damn it!" Nolan Smith yelled inwardly. The rhythm of the shot didn't seem so perfect.
The basketball hit the front of the rim and bounced across the center of the rim to the neck of the rim. After bouncing twice on the basket's neck, the basketball fell from the basket!
"The second free throw was missed! Nolan Smith missed, and he gave the Bulldogs a lifeline!" Reggie Miller could no longer restrain his inner excitement. He was looking forward to, looking forward to a A miracle happened!
After Matt Howard protected the defensive rebound, he found Yiyang without hesitation!
Yiyang speeded up with the ball, and with a change of direction in front of him, he passed Singler who was about to intercept him. Facing Shayer's attack, Yiyang perfectly dodges with a beautiful turn!
"Stop him! Stop him!" Old Coach K yelled nervously off the court, and now he wished he could rush to the court to stop the number one of the Bulldogs.
No one can stop Yiyang, and the matter of passing through the opponent's entire line of defense alone is Yiyang's forte.
Seeing that Yiyang was about to pass Duke's last line of defense, power forward Lance Thomas. Everyone thinks that overtime is inevitable!
However, Yiyang suddenly took a step back after breaking into the three-point line! Lance Thomas did not expect Yiyang's sudden stop and retreat. Forcibly changing his center of gravity and pounced forward, he didn't clean up his feet, and fell down in embarrassment!
"It also knocked Lance Thomas down, this guy, he shot directly from beyond the three-point line! Don't overtime, he wants to kill the game directly!" Reggie Miller's voice made the fans in front of the TV become terrified. Got blood boiling.
Yiyang shoots directly from beyond the three-point line. He knows that he is not good at three-pointers, but he also believes in the result of his hard training for a season. This Chinese boy from the Wood District threw the most important ball in his life so far. Throwing, the last ball of his NCAA career!
Wen Xue covered her eyes in the stands. The mother could only pray in her heart that her husband in heaven would bless their son.
"Beep~~~~" Wen Xue, who was blindfolded, first heard the electronic buzzer sound that represented the end of the game.
"It's over! It's over!" After that, she heard Reggie Miller yelling frantically.
The mother didn't dare to watch the score on the big screen. She only saw Yiyang knelt on one knee, fisted with his right hand, and slammed the hardwood floor.
The NCAA career of Butler No. 1 is over.
