One Guard

Among his peers, Yiyang is definitely quite calm. Living in the Wood area, he would encounter gang fights, robberies and even murders from time to time. For a child living in this environment, there seems to be nothing that can scare them or make them feel nervous. Even when Yiyang robbed Happy, this guy's heartbeat still maintained a normal speed.

But today, when overwhelming cheers came through the door of the locker room, Yiyang was surprised to find that his heart was beating wildly!

NCAA Tier 1 league, tens of thousands of live viewers, live TV broadcast, high-profile! These things are things that Yiyang has never experienced before!

"What's the matter? Nervous?" Seeing Yiyang sitting there motionless with his hands clenched in fists, Mark went up and elbowed the rookie on the team whom the coach placed high hopes on.

"No, there's nothing to be nervous about." Yiyang's tone was still cold, as if Mark was a complete stranger.

Mark smiled. This is his third year playing in the NCAA, and he has seen countless people make their debut in the NCAA. Yiyang's current reaction is not to be nervous!

"Hey! How are you getting ready!" Stevens suddenly pushed the door open, and everyone's eyes were on him. Because the starting lineup for this game has not yet been determined.

"Very good, coach!" The players replied neatly and loudly, except Yiyang.

"Yeah! Why are you wearing your jersey upside down!" Under Stevens' reminder, Yiyang realized that he had put on his jersey upside down.

He blushed and took off the No. 1 jersey with his name on it, and put it on again. The players of the Bulldogs blushed one by one, but they dared not laugh out loud. After all, they don't want to get hurt by fighting with teammates in the locker room before the game.

"Okay, let's all sit in our seats! The Indiana University Mountaineers have already started warming up, and they seem to be eager to tear us apart! These guys seem to have forgotten whose home field is here! Next, I The starting lineup for this game will be announced!" As soon as Stevens said this, even Yiyang listened attentively. After training for so long, did I impress the coach? This starting list is the most direct reflection.

The reason why Stevens didn't announce the starting lineup until now is because he has been uncertain. Whether to use Yiyang, a rookie who has never played an NCAA game, or continue to use the experienced Norrid. After careful consideration, the young marshal already had an answer.

"Center, Matt Howard!" Stevens read the list, and the big white man who averaged 10.3 points per game last season waved his fist.

"Power forward, Willie Wesley. Small forward, Gordon Hayward." The striker combination is exactly the same as last year, with Willie in charge of defense and Hayward in charge of offense.

"Shooting guard, Shelvin Mark." As the captain of the team and the team's second scoring point after Hayward last season, Mark's selection is no doubt. As things stand, the Bulldogs' starting lineup looks the same as it did last year.

"Point guard, Yiyang." After Stevens finished speaking, he looked at the players below. Obviously, they were all a little surprised.

Last season, the team's starting point guard Ronald Norrid's eyes widened even more. Although Yiyang performed well in the training camp, he has never been baptized by the NCAA competition. Is it really safe to let him control the ball like this? You know, this opening game is a derby full of gunpowder! Moreover, the star of the Mountainers happens to be a point guard!

"Any questions?" Stevens looked at the players and asked deliberately.

"No!"

"Very well, I hope you have remembered everything I have taught you these past few days.

Luke Harangodi, Indianapolis native star, serves as a point guard. Also, your task is very simple, blow up this local star for me! "Stevens tapped the tactical board hard. Although the Indiana University Mountain Rangers have produced many NBA stars, they have also won the NCAA championship 5 times. But now, everything is not what it used to be.

Since their inside overlord D.J. White and powerful guard Eric Gordon joined the NBA, Indiana University has not produced any stars, and its strength has been greatly reduced.

Now their head star is the experienced junior point guard Luke Harlan Gordy. Harland Gordy is very strong, his shots are very accurate, and his mind is extremely clear when playing on the basketball court.

But Stevens knew he could trust Yi Yang, the new No. 1 of the Bulldogs, who was sure to surprise everyone!

Luke Harangaudi, get ready to welcome your new friend.

※※※

Wen Xue squeezed into the stands, surrounded by Bulldogs fans in blue short-sleeves. Although it was just an ordinary college game, the atmosphere on the court at this time reminded Wen Xue of when she watched her husband play more than ten years ago.

Unexpectedly, their son actually embarked on the road of basketball.

On the field, the youthful and beautiful cheerleaders had already left the field, and the cheers of the fans rose another octave. They knew it was time for the Bulldogs to play!

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the owner of this stadium with the warmest applause! Butler University~~~~~ Bulldogs!" The DJ on the spot deliberately dragged out his voice, successfully mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene.

"Come on! Let's go!" Amidst the yelling, Shervin Mark in the player tunnel waved to the players, and was the first to run out of the player tunnel!

Everyone ran out one by one, and Yiyang followed at the end of the team.

He felt like his heart was about to jump out. The huge cheers from the stadium made his mind almost forget to think. Outside the player tunnel, it seems that there will always be flashes of light. Compared with this narrow player channel, the outside seems to be a whole new world!

"Let's go! We can do it!" When it was Yiyang's turn to run out, Stevens gave him a push. Yiyang rushed out with all his energy.

"Boom! Bulldogs! Bulldogs! Bulldogs! Bulldogs!" Immediately, the earth-shaking shouts entered Yiyang's ears. He looked up and saw that the huge stands of the stadium were densely packed with people!

The flashing lights flashed one after another, and the huge crowd in the stands made Yiyang dizzy. At this moment, Shervin Mark suddenly put his arms around Yiyang's shoulders!

"Let's go buddy! Go and stand in your position, the game is about to start!" Mark's yelling made Yiyang, who was experiencing such a big scene for the first time, calm down a little. At this time, countless cameras have been aimed at this point guard with a special complexion. Many commentators have raised a question, who is this guy?

"Oh? It seems that the young coach Stevens started a new player in the first game of the season! And this player, I have never seen or heard of it before! As we all know, Indiana University The top card of the Mountain People is their No. 1 Luke Harlan Gordy. Coach Stevens put Norid, who performed well last season, on the bench and started a newcomer to match Harlan Gordy , Is it really suitable?" The on-site commentator asked, which was also the biggest doubt in the hearts of the fans.

This unheard of Asian point guard, how can He De squeeze Norid to the bench.

While Yiyang was warming up with leg presses, a tall and strong white player with a swollen face and an old-fashioned look walked towards him.

Luke Harangodi, if he didn't appear here, Yiyang would definitely think that this guy is already in his thirties. Harlan Gaudi is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 110 kilograms! His strong and tall physique allowed him to play as the fourth position for a while last season! This guy can be said to be a model of a true tank guard.

Standing in front of Harlan Gaudi, Yiyang, who is only 1.91 meters tall and weighs only 82 kilograms, looks so weak. It was as if Yiyang would be broken if Harlan Gaudi exerted force.

"An Asian? Hahahaha. Kid, this is not the place for you! Go home and ask your mother to tell her to feed you more meat!" Harlan Gaudi shook his head with a smile, and turned to his Stand in your seat and wait. During the period, he also made a throat-slitting motion at Yiyang.

Killing newcomers is something every NCAA player is willing to do. Harlan Gaudi felt very lucky that he ran into a soft persimmon in the first game.

Yiyang clenched his fists. What he hates the most is when people talk about his race, skin color and mother. If it was in high school, Harlan Gaudi might have tasted Yiyang's fist by now.

Yiyang suppressed the anger in his heart, and stood at the designated position. He looked around, presumably his mother must be somewhere in the crowd.

Watch it! I'll tell you what exactly Asians can do on a basketball court!

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle and threw the basketball high up. Matt Howard, the big white man of the Bulldogs, touched the basketball first and captured it in Yiyang's hands.

When Yiyang received the ball, the cheers on the scene were obviously much smaller. Even the Bulldogs' own fans have no idea about this No. 1 guard.

Yiyang was not in a hurry, he had experienced countless times more embarrassing moments than this. The No. 1 defender just advanced with the ball unhurriedly, and directed the team to attack with gestures.

Excited Luke Harangodi posted it just as Yiyang passed the three-point line. He wanted to use his huge body to give Yiyang, a "skinny monkey", a blow. Let him know that the NCAA is not a place for street play!

"Idiot." Seeing Harlan Gordy's actions, the corners of Shervin Mark's mouth twitched slightly.

Speed ​​and athletic ability are the biggest shortcomings of Harlan Gaudi, a heavy guard. But for Yiyang, the same thing is his greatest advantage! Mark can already imagine Harlan Gaudi's surprised expression after Yiyang's breakthrough.

Harlan Gaudi's oppressive defense really made it difficult for Yiyang to move forward, but soon, Yiyang knew how to deal with this tall guy.

Yiyang took two steps back with the ball, while Harlan Gaudi smiled triumphantly. "What's wrong boy? Scared? This is the NCAA! Go back to your field!"

After taking two steps back, Yiyang suddenly dribbled the ball to the left! His instantaneous acceleration is so fast! Let Harlan Gaudi's triumphant smile freeze instantly!

"Whoosh!" A gust of wind blew up Harlan Gordy's jersey, and when he stepped sideways, the number one of the Bulldogs had already passed himself cleanly.

"My God! Incredible speed! This newcomer is like a bullet, passing by Harlan Gaudi with ease!" At this time, the questioning eyes of the commentators turned into amazement.

Yiyang continued to head towards the basket. Under the basket, the center of the Mountaineers was already in position, ready to protect the basket at any time!

Yiyang didn't become impatient because of Harlan Gordy's provocation. Although he really wanted to humiliate the other party, a breakthrough was enough to embarrass Harlan Gordy! Score? The task of scoring is left to that genius named Hayward.

Facing the defense of the opponent's center forward, Yiyang did not force a layup, but suddenly passed out after attracting the defense.

All eyes followed the orange basketball to the bottom corner, where Gordon Hayward, known as the number one white small forward in the NCAA, was already in place!

"This is a fucking No. 3 tactic!" Stevens applauded in relief. This is what a point guard should do! At first, Stevens thought that Yiyang wanted to play singles, but in the end he realized that Yiyang was actually following the plan! A point guard who can implement the head coach's arrangement will definitely be loved by all coaches!

Hayward caught the basketball firmly and released it calmly. Harlan Gaudi rushed to the basket, ready to grab the rebound. However, that basketball fell straight into the net!

"Beautiful offense! The Bulldogs kicked off the season with a 3-pointer! It was a great fit, the Bulldogs #1 was the key to this offense...Yi Yang! He called Zuo Yiyang! Please shout and remember this name, his performance has made this team's offense smooth!" For the first time, the live commentator read Yiyang's name in front of the entire American audience. This name appeared on TV for the first time.

"Beautiful pass, buddy!" Hayward ran to Yiyang's side and stretched out his left hand.

Yiyang looked at Hayward, and then at Harlan Gaudi, who was blushing with anger and had a thick neck. It's like... it's like for the first time ever, a teammate comes up to say thank you after he made a good pass.

"Cut." Yiyang smiled slightly, and gave Hayward a high five!

"I'll let you remember my name, big fool!" Seeing Harlan Gaudi approaching aggressively and controlling the ball, Yiyang opened his arms, ready to defend!

I seem to like playing for this team more and more!
