One Guard

Chapter 17: The Art of Passing

"Don't panic! Continue to play according to our own rhythm. They can't play like this for the whole game, we have to take the lead in controlling the rhythm!" Nate Martin saw that the morale of the players seemed to be a little low, so he immediately started to shout on the sidelines Shouted.

Yiyang's steals and dunks and a 360-degree turn in the air for an assist are indeed not considered conventional styles of play. No team can rely on this kind of thing to last a whole game.

Who doesn't have one or two bright moments on the basketball court? Nate Martin believed that Yiyang was just a flash in the pan. When the Buckeyes gradually control the rhythm of the game, the threat of this Chinese will continue to decline!

"The boss is right! The game has just begun, cheer up, we can go back!" Evan Turner, as the leader of Ohio State University, has the obligation to help the team regain confidence.

Talking, Turner knows, is only one aspect of it. If you want to really boost the morale of the team, a wonderful goal is simply perfect.

Under the cheers of the home team fans, Turner chose to hand over the ball after halftime for the first time. Of course, this does not mean that Turner wants to shirk responsibility at critical moments, but that he needs to gain space for himself by running without the ball.

Yiyang stared at the guy who was dribbling in front of him. He didn't know who this No. 2 was, and Stevens also said that he didn't need to waste energy on this guy. But Yiyang knows that if he can interfere with his matchup pass, it is also a way to help the team defend well.

Evan Turner cut into the penalty area through an off-ball pick-and-roll, and then immediately ran back and returned to the outside line.

This series of runs caused Hayward to lose most of his body. Yiyang responded the moment the opponent passed the ball, and he did touch the basketball.

Although he failed to make a successful steal, Yiyang managed to change the trajectory of the basketball. Turner had to change his receiving position, and this change gave Hayward time to defend.

Turner, who could have gotten an open shot, had to face Hayward's close defense again because of Yiyang's interference pass.

In the end, Evan Turner used a post-up play to advance to the middle distance position. After that, he made a turnaround jumper and hit it steadily.

The stadium once again erupted into violent cheers, and many NBA scouts nodded approvingly. Evan Turner, maybe he belongs to the kind of rookie who can play a role immediately after being selected! Three years of university career have trained Turner to perfection!

After Turner's goal, Stevens didn't explode or show any signs of disappointment. He just stood quietly on the sidelines, as if nothing happened just now.

Evan Turner's turnaround jumper just now was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that Hayward couldn't do anything about it. But Turner is always Turner, he is not Kobe. Nate Martin thinks that it is impossible for Yiyang to play the way he just did for the whole game. Could it be that Turner can score with extremely difficult offensive methods for the whole game?

After the game, just as Stevens predicted. Hayward and Evan Turner, neither of these two guys can guard the other. The game became extremely anxious, and the scores of the two sides also climbed alternately.

Nate Martin has never stopped yelling from the sidelines from the beginning of the game to the present. And what about Stevens? Also faced with the situation of being unable to open the score, Stevens sat back on the bench leisurely.

After Turner succeeded in another layup with a tough breakthrough, Stevens unhurriedly called a timeout. He knew it was time!

"Good job, good job..." Stevens high-fives the players off the field one by one, as if the Bulldogs are leading by ten.

After everyone is seated on the bench,

Stevens also carried a small bench and sat in front of the players.

"Now we're one point behind, that guy Evan Turner, he can be said to be completely crazy." Stevens said, looking at the Buckeyes bench on the other side of the court. Over there, Nate Martin's voice was very loud, and it seemed that the atmosphere on their bench was very tense.

Stevens smiled, turned his head and continued. "We created too many difficulties for Turner, especially you Gordon, you gave Evan a lot of pressure on both ends of the offense and defense. If I expected, Evan's guy is already dying. After that, His hit rate will drop due to physical problems! At that time, it is our chance! Also!"

"I'm listening."

"Your next task is to create easy scoring opportunities for everyone as much as possible. Hayward played very hard just now, but now, I want you to control the ball, and you decide how to attack! Evan. Every time Turner wants to score a goal now, he must do his best. But also, you can let everyone score easily! If necessary, you can also increase the number of active attacks yourself!" Stevens finished, The pen in his hand also stopped.

Yiyang looked at the tactical board and nodded slightly. "Oh, I see."

The timeout ended quickly, and players from both sides reappeared. Sure enough, when the situation was not opened, the coaches of both sides did not make any personnel adjustments.

Even though he had rested for a while, Evan Turner's breathing was still short. Yiyang walked towards the Buckeyes half court step by step, unconsciously. The core of the field has changed from Hayward to Yiyang.

Turner took a few breaths, and then supported Hayward again, hoping to restrict the movement of the white forward from the beginning of the movement.

But this time, Yiyang did not pass the ball to Hayward as usual, but raised his hand and gestured.

"Hmph, knowing that Turner is not easy to attack, do you want to give up?" Nate Martin was overjoyed. If Hayward gave up attacking, it would only be a matter of time before the Buckeyes opened up the score!

Although Yiyang is just a rookie, as the core point guard on the field, his teammates still ran according to Yiyang's command.

Yiyang saw that the tactics had already started to be implemented, so he gradually accelerated the frequency of dribbling with his left and right hands alternately. He is ready to start!

Yiyang, who was holding the ball at the top of the three-point line, began to slowly move to the left along the three-point line. At the moment when his counterpoint moved and his feet moved sideways, Yiyang suddenly changed hands and changed directions in front of him. Then he passed the guy who Stevens said "don't waste too much energy".

Yiyang's breakthrough was still so easy, like going out for a walk in the morning.

This off-string arrow went straight to the basket, and the Buckeyes players habitually shrunk their defensive formation to protect the basket.

Yiyang, who was breaking through, stared at the basket, but the basketball suddenly circled behind him. Passing the ball without looking behind the back, Yiyang threw the basketball out with an extremely "street" movement.

"Stinky boy!" Stevens smiled and shook his head, that guy Yiyang actually loves to play more than everyone else!

This cool pass was not just for the sake of being cool. The basketball seemed to have eyes, and it flew precisely towards Shelvin Mark, who had been in ambush for a long time.

Yiyang's pass was very secretive and very sudden. So when Shelvin Mark received the basketball, there was not even a single defender within two meters of him! The Buckeyes team's defense was all brought inside by Yiyang!

Although the three-pointer is not Mark's specialty, but with such a large open space, how can Mark, the captain, have the nerve to disappoint a rookie?

The black guard raised the knife and dropped the basketball. The basketball drew a huge arc and finally fell into the net.

"Yi's mind is exceptionally clear, this guy will always know where his teammates are!" Without a doubt, Yiyang's pass without looking was praised by everyone. The big screen at the scene even gave a wonderful replay immediately.

Gradually, people shifted their attention from Yiyang's lightning-fast speed and terrifying jumping ability to his ability to control offense.

Yiyang's performance is not like a rookie at all, his offensive organization is as good as an old guard who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Steady, accurate, just a little more fancy.

Although this goal allowed the Bulldogs to successfully score three points, it did not attract Nate Martin's attention. In his opinion, if Turner restrained Hayward this round, it would be considered a success. Because the Bulldogs' offense will eventually come back to Hayward.

However, in the second round, the situation was still different from Martin's imagination.

Hayward was still tightly pressed to death by Turner. The white small forward seemed too lazy to move, and he had become a static pinning point.

This time Yiyang did not use his terrifying speed to break through, but the speed of his passing still made the audience gasp in amazement.

Yiyang suddenly hit the ground while advancing with the ball, and the basketball quickly passed through the crowd with an afterimage, and then bounced back into the hands of Matt Howard, who had already cut to the basket.

Fortunately, Matt Howard has a good playing habit and was ready to catch the ball early. Otherwise, Howard might not be able to hold such a sudden pass.

In an instant, the Buckeyes' defense, which had not yet spread out, once again shrank towards the basket. Facing the double-teaming of the Buckeyes guards, Matt Howard didn't try his best. He passed the ball out, and Shelvin Mark once again got an open shot. This time, it was at the middle distance.

Mark's shot was unsurprising, and for a player aiming for the NBA, this kind of shot is a must.

"Although there is no direct assist, there is no doubt that Yi's pass completely tore the defense of the Buckeyes! With him in control of the offense, the changes of the Bulldogs are countless!"

"This guy's performance on the court is simply pleasing to the eye! Every pass of his is very comfortable and very deadly!" A scout for an NBA team even wrote such a sentence in his notes talk.

The Buckeyes immediately launched a counterattack, but Turner, who was already exhausted, could no longer continue to score goals in that difficult way.

This time, Turner made an emergency stop jumper against Hayward's block. But the basketball knocked out of the frame and was taken by Matt Howard, who was already stuck in the position.

Matt raised the basketball to look for Yiyang, but found that Yiyang was already running to the frontcourt, demanding the ball from him!

Without hesitation, the white center flicked hard, and the basketball flew after Yiyang.

"Direct long pass to attack! No, this pass is not good, it is too big, and it is impossible to catch it!" The commentator sighed. These young people have good ideas, but Matt's long pass ability is indeed a little bit Unsightly.

After Yiyang was overtaken by the basketball, he continued to accelerate, but he was getting closer and closer to the bottom line. I originally wanted to use a fast break to score my own plan, but it was impossible to implement. Yiyang turned his head and glanced behind him, and rushed towards the basketball that flew out of the baseline!

After Yiyang flew out, his body was almost parallel to the ground. This guy fully stretched himself in the air, stretched out his arms, and was able to touch the basketball.

He recalled the scene he just looked back at, and then he grabbed it with his left hand.

Everyone thought it was just an ordinary save, but in fact, Yiyang planned to form an assist directly!

The basketball rescued by Yiyang was unbiased, and it just flew into the hands of Hayward who followed behind.

After that, Yiyang fell into the arms of the cheerleaders on the sidelines again. Hayward, on the other hand, jumped high and dunked with both hands!

"It's actually an assist! God! How did he do it! Can he send an assist in such a difficult situation just by looking back!?" This time, the commentator couldn't help standing up from his seat. up. He really wanted to find out, what kind of monster was that Asian man running on the basketball court?

Yiyang's fierce eyes frightened the cheerleading girls around him. He didn't "enjoy" the feeling of lying on those white thighs, but got up quickly by himself, and went back to defend with no expression.

"You boy! You really know how to find a place to fall! I think you did it on purpose." During the retreat, Hayward, who had a quick dunk, smiled and joked with Yiyang.

On the sidelines, coach Nate Martin's face was already clouded.

If he could, he would really like to take back what he said before the game started.

Yiyang is not a dispensable character, his existence is even more troublesome than Hayward!
