One Guard

Chapter 18: The sharp knife in the heart

"Another miraculous assist, which not only kept the ball for the team, but also gave Hayward a chance to dunk. I really doubt whether this kid's eyes have a 360° field of vision without dead ends. Otherwise, just now That pass, it's really hard for you to explain how you did it!"

Although this is the home court of the Buckeyes, the scene of Yiyang flying to save the ball and directly assisting was played back on the big screen.

Others' slam saves can only save the ball back into the field, but Yiyang not only saves the ball back, but also sends a wonderful pass!

This guy who only scored 4 points has already taken control of the game before he made any big moves.

Yiyang's pass was like a sharp dagger, slashing at the Buckeyes one at a time, leaving the team playing at home bruised and bruised.

But now, Stevens doesn't want Yiyang to wear it down so slowly. During this retreat, Yiyang saw Stevens standing on the edge of the bench with one hand open, the other clenched into a fist, and then the two hands collided fiercely.

It was a signal, a signal only the Bulldogs could understand. What Stevens meant was simple, he asked Yiyang to start his own attack!

Stevens didn't want Yiyang to attack on a whim. After the battle just now, the starting five tigers of the Buckeyes team were already very tired. In this way, the defensive pressure on Yiyang will be greatly reduced. His breakthrough will go straight into the heart of the Buckeyes!

With Yiyang attacking, Stevens can slowly replace others, allowing the main players to breathe. In this way, the exhausted Buckeyes will only sink deeper and deeper.

In the next attack, Evan Turner, who was unable to make perfect movements due to a severe decline in physical fitness, once again made a shot from outside the three-point line.

This time, the Buckeyes players didn't even dare to grab the offensive rebounds. Seeing that Turner missed the shot, everyone immediately ran to their own half, for fear of being attacked by the lightning-fast No. 1 guard again.

After Yiyang received Matt's pass, he didn't advance as leisurely as before. Instead, he sprinted directly. He wanted to take advantage of the Buckeyes' defense before they were fully deployed!

I saw a yellow lightning bolt flying through the crowd, and it didn't take long for it to reach the three-point line in the frontcourt!

At this time, the players of the Buckeyes had just settled down. Before everyone could react, the yellow lightning had already struck in.

Yiyang didn't have the slightest intention to brake, he directly wiped past the opposing player with his fast speed. This time, Yiyang didn't have any skills at all, he just bullied others who couldn't keep up with his speed!

Seeing that his point guard was dodged by Yiyang, Iman, who is a frame-protecting center, hurriedly defended the basket, hoping to avenge his shame.

However, just as the heavy center forward took a step laterally, Yiyang quickly passed by him. In Yiyang's eyes, Yiman's movement is almost like slow motion.

Yiyang ran a straight line from the backcourt to the frontcourt, piercing the Buckeyes' defense! Facing an empty basket, Yiyang did not intend to dunk in the danger of being chased. Instead, with a light flick of the right hand, the basketball hit the backboard, and then obediently bounced back into the net.

The commentators on the commentary stand were still talking about Evan Turner's continuous strikes just now, but in a blink of an eye they found that the Bulldogs' offense was over!

All of these guys stared wide-eyed and looked at each other. "What happened in those few seconds just now? When was this score rewritten?"

Nate Martin shook his head helplessly on the sidelines. The players on the Buckeyes are playing very hard now. Their physical strength has been severely exhausted, and they simply cannot cope with such a fast offensive and defensive rhythm.

Even against all odds, the game will continue. The only thing the Buckeyes can look up to now is the All-American star Evan Turner.

Turner, who was almost exhausted in physical fitness, finally chose to pass the ball in the face of Hayward's defense again.

Evan Turner, who plunged into the crowd through a beautiful off-ball screen and then returned to the three-point line, took the ball and shot. At this time, Hayward, who was defending Turner, was getting rid of the entanglement. It seemed that he couldn't interfere in time.

Sometimes, a three-pointer is enough to change a lot of things. For example, the self-confidence of the Buckeyes, such as the favorable rhythm gradually being controlled by the enemy. Turner hopes to awaken the team's fighting spirit through a wonderful goal, and a three-point goal is undoubtedly the most morale-boosting one.

Without any hesitation, this college basketball genius jumped up and shot. When Turner, who was able to get an open space for himself, was about to throw the ball, Yiyang seemed to appear out of thin air, raising his arms and flying in front of Turner.

Turner was taken aback by Yiyang's sudden appearance. After all, he always thought that he didn't have any defensive players around him!

Although Yiyang was not enough to directly block Turner's shot, his timely defense turned Turner's inevitable goal into a wisp of smoke. The basketball hit the neck of the basket and just bounced high, but it didn't fall into the net when it fell for the second time.

"Failed again! Coach Nate Martin should consider substituting! The starting players of the Buckeyes can no longer compete on the field! They are too tired, and they are embarrassed by Yi's rapid impact!"

As soon as the commentator's voice fell, Yiyang started running forward. Yiyang, who had just suffocated all his strength, did not intend to save them until the end.

As soon as Yiyang started to speed up, everyone in the Buckeyes team began to block the passing route as much as possible, hoping to minimize the threat posed by Yiyang.

It seems that these guys thought Yiyang was a "pure" point guard who couldn't score and could only pass the ball.

That's right, Yiyang really likes passing the ball very much, and passing the ball is often his first priority on the basketball court. But this does not mean that Yiyang can only pass the ball!

In the process of advancing at high speed, Yiyang held the basketball with his left hand and stretched out his hand. In that direction, Gordon Hayward is already in ambush at the bottom corner!

The players of the Buckeyes became nervous, and Evan Turner hurriedly stood in front of Hayward, hoping that he could steal the basketball.

However, in the next second, the basketball did not fly towards Hayward as Turner thought. Yiyang withdrew his basketball and eyes, and stepped into the restricted area in a big step! This is just a fake biography!

After Yiyang cheated the opponents' defensive center of gravity with a fake pass, he raised his arm and jumped lightly.

Another extremely light goal, Yiyang didn't even seem to break a sweat, and broke the Buckeyes' defense to pieces!

"Beep, beep!" The referee's urgent whistle sounded, and Nate Martin had to ask for a timeout again! Now the point difference on the field has been widened to double digits. If this continues, the Buckeyes will probably be buried by this fierce offensive in the first half!

But at this moment in the game, there are not many things that Nate Martin can arrange. All he can do is to take down the already exhausted starting five and let the substitute players stand on top for a few minutes.

"Also, there are still four minutes before the end of the halftime game! I will give you two minutes, and I will replace you no matter what after the time is up! Remember, score, what I want is your own score! Use your breakthrough , widen the point difference as much as possible!" Before the end of the timeout, Stevens also specially explained the precautions to Yiyang. The time to play dead is over, now, it's time for these guys who look down on Yiyang to see what an Asian can do on the court!

As the only starting player among the ten players on the field, Yiyang naturally received quite special hospitality. In the past, the focus of defense will be placed on Hayward. But now, all the pressure is coming towards Yiyang.

Nate Martin will no longer underestimate Yiyang. The team is now 10 points behind, so it can be said that it has a huge relationship with Yiyang!

After the timeout ended, the Buckeyes immediately launched an offense. But in the absence of Turner, the Buckeyes' offense was conducted for a long time without getting a chance. In the end, they had to make a hasty shot and ended with a strike.

The Bulldogs backup center John Vanzat took the rebound and handed it to Yiyang. As soon as Yiyang caught the ball, he found that there was a defender waiting for him in front of him. It seems that Nate Martin adopted an exaggerated full-court pressing defense against the rookie Yiyang!

The No. 1 defender was not frightened by such a situation, he still pressed forward at the same speed as usual. When the opponent's players pushed forward, Yiyang put his shoulder across the opponent and continued to move forward!

The defensive players continued to put pressure on Yiyang, and Yiyang seemed to be unable to stand up to the opponent. After all, strength and body confrontation, this is still one of Yiyang's current flaws. At this moment, everyone thought that Yiyang would be forced to stop, but he suddenly slowed down, changed hands behind his back and dribbled the ball, then accelerated directly again, past the pressing defensive player.

Yiyang easily got rid of Nate Martin's full-court press! Yiyang rushed up again. Once he rushed up, the Buckeyes could only accept the fate of losing points.

I saw Butler University No. 1, wearing a black away jersey, plunge into the inside line of a forest of strong men. He was not afraid of any blockage, and jumped high, preparing for a layup.

Undoubtedly, Yiyang, who was slightly underweight, was directly knocked out by the opponent's center forward. But when the referee was on duty, he mercilessly called Ohio State University another foul.

To create damage, this is the real purpose of Yiyang's breakthrough. The No. 1 defender didn't wait for his teammates to come forward to help him, and stood up with a light support.

Under the powerful boos of the fans, Yiyang picked up the basketball and spun it around in the center of his palm, shot steadily and made a free throw.

When Yiyang's second free throw also fell into the net, Ohio State Buckeyes coach Nate Martin slumped back to the bench.

At that moment, 14 points behind, he knew that the game was over. That "unremarkable" Asian defender became a sharp knife that pierced the heart of the Buckeyes!

In two minutes, Yiyang tormented the players and fans of the Buckeyes for two minutes with his rapid breakthrough. Stevens replaced Yiyang two minutes later as agreed. But at that time, Butler University had already achieved a huge difference of 18 points.

In the second half of the game, the demoralized Buckeyes did not play the offensive climax that the fans were expecting. The entire team is supported only by Evan Turner.

Under Yiyang's organization, the Bulldogs always get chances to score easily. Shelvin Mack and Gordon Hayward benefited the most, combining for 44 points on a lot of simple open shots. Of course, Yiyang also received 10 assists as a "reward".

With three and a half minutes to go before the end of the game, Stevens laughed and replaced all the main players. In the stands of the stadium, less than one-third of the fans are still standing.

Evan Turner was also pushed on the bench at this time, which meant that Nate Martin officially raised the white flag to surrender.

Yiyang leaned on the bench with ease, while the rest of the Bulldogs chatted with each other, talking and laughing. The Bulldogs ended the battle early in two consecutive games, which undoubtedly surprised the commentators and scouts.

This team, which barely made it to March Madness last season, was able to rub Evan Turner on the ground this season. Such a substantial progress is really staggering.

I believe that after tonight, the general managers of many NBA teams will get a name they have never heard of, Yiyang!

The expressionless boy may not know that professional basketball, which seems out of reach, has already begun to approach him actively.
