One Guard

"3! 2! 1!"

"Beep~~~~~" After the fans' countdown, the electronic buzzer sounded loudly, representing the end of the game. The 40-minute battle between Butler University and the University of Texas finally ended. At this moment, even Reggie Miller couldn't help standing up and cheering for the Bulldogs.

Even though the game was played in a neutral arena, Reggie Miller himself was just a neutral commentator. But at this moment, the entire stadium has long been conquered by the Bulldogs' wonderful performance.

"62 to 71, the Butler University Bulldogs defeated a strong opponent in the first round of the March Madness Championship, defeating the University of Texas led by Bradley by 9 points! Although Brad Leigh and the University of Texas performed very well this season, but now they are out, and they have no second chance to prove themselves again! Audience friends, this is March Madness!" Reggie Miller couldn't help I don't want to make a summary of this wonderful game, but after thinking about it, he thinks that the name Yiyang is the best interpretation of this game.

Sure enough, the director of TN.T TV station immediately inserted the highlights of Yiyang's match. Through these shots, you can almost see most of the best moments of the game.

Yiyang's breakthroughs, dunks, layups, steals, assists...everything is mesmerizing and lingering.

A point guard who plays gorgeously but doesn't make too many mistakes can be seen everywhere. Kentucky has Wall, and now Butler University fans can proudly announce that they have Yiyang!

At the moment of the end of the game, Stevens swung his fist vigorously. In the past few days, all the hard work and suppressed emotions have been fully released at this moment.

In order to study Bradley, to study Mike James, and to study the entire Longhorn team, Stevens hasn't slept well these days. Even when he got home, he spent most of his time studying game videos.

This time, though, the Bulldogs weren't knocked out early. This time, everything Stevens did was worth it! Of course, there was another reason why he was so happy. That's the genius he accidentally found last summer, and now, it must be popular all over the United States!

"Good boy! You fucking overshadowed Bradley!" On the basketball court, the Bulldogs captain Shelvin Mark yelled and hugged Yiyang.

"Hahaha, I knew you could pass the ball, that's great!" Hayward, who received the most assists from Yiyang, also joined in.

Afterwards, more and more Bulldogs players gathered around Yiyang, making the No. 1 point guard the focus of the court.

The photographer caught the protagonist Yiyang in the cracks of the crowd. Surprisingly, this cruel boy who came out of the slums was actually grinning.

Who doesn't like the feeling of winning with teammates who like them?

Hayward, Mark, Matt Howard... The teammates of the Bulldogs team are different from everyone Yiyang met before. These guys really like me. And Yiyang is also willing to fight for such a group.

And of course, Brad Stevens. This coach who doesn't care about skin color but only cares about the strength of a player actually respects him very much in his heart.

It's just that this boy who likes to defend others more than to be close to others since he was a child doesn't know how to express his inner thoughts. Today's bright smile is Yiyang's way of expressing his love.

Just after the Bulldogs dispersed, Yiyang was stopped by a strange voice. He turned his head and found that it was Avery Bradley.

"You won today, man. But it's not over between us! After the NBA,

I will do my best to defeat you! "Bradley watched Yiyang clenched his fists in celebration. Yiyang had already met a difficult opponent before he landed in the league.

Yiyang didn't speak, but smiled and waved to Bradley, then turned and left. Your challenge, I accept!

At this time, countless reporters had rushed into the stadium, and the attention paid to March Madness was no less than that of the NBA.

Yiyang was the most dazzling player in the game, coupled with his special skin color, this guy naturally fell into the siege of reporters in an instant.

What is different from the past is that today, in addition to local reporters in the United States, Yiyang also found some basketball reporters from China with the same skin color as himself!

Since Li Ning Company forwarded Yiyang's game highlights to China, many fans and media in China now know Yiyang's name. After Yiyang announced his participation in this year's NBA draft, his popularity skyrocketed.

In the past, it is not that no Chinese players have played in the NCAA. But most of them just come overseas to plate gold, and the draft is out of reach for them all.

And Yiyang is different, as long as you have a relationship with the NBA, you will never lack attention in China. Now Yao Ming, who is plagued by injuries, is in a semi-retired state, and Yi Jianlian's Nets, which are at the bottom of the league, are also playing and stopping. On the world's highest level basketball arena, there are indeed too few Chinese people.

Therefore, when the domestic media heard that there was a Chinese who was about to participate in the draft and played in the NCAA, they were like a group of sharks that smelled blood, swam to the United States on the other side of the ocean, and found Yiyang, the "prey" ".

"Yiyang! When did you come to America?"

"Would you consider joining the national team?"

"Yiyang! Do you still have Chinese nationality?"

In an instant, several reporters asked Yiyang several questions in Chinese. At that moment, Yiyang was a little dazed. Because in this land, apart from his own mother, he has almost forgotten what it feels like to communicate with people in Chinese.

"I...I came to the United States very early, and I studied in the United States." Yiyang replied hesitantly, and was interviewed in Chinese, which was the first time in Yiyang's life.

Although this is just a very common question, the reporters from China are all nervously recording it. Everything Yiyang says now will be big news when it reaches China!

Even Joe Alexander, who has a little Chinese blood, could become the target of domestic hype, not to mention that the one standing in front of the reporters is a real Chinese!

"Yiyang! Hello, I am Mu Ran, a reporter from China's "Basketball" magazine! At present, your draft pick is predicted to be the 20th pick in the first round. Do you think this pick is in line with your strength? ?” Afterwards, a polite man with glasses squeezed in front of Yiyang.

This reporter is not like other colleagues who only know to ask some unnutritious questions. His questions make Yiyang have a desire to answer.

"It's not easy to be ranked 20th among so many outstanding players, but I will continue to work hard, and maybe I can change this number." Yiyang's cold expression when he answered the question surprised Mu Ran.

If it were other Chinese kids talking about the NBA draft now, he would be very excited. But in Yiyang, Mu Ran sees a stability that doesn't match his age. This guy didn't get carried away by making it to the first round, and instead hopes to continue improving his draft stock!

After all, Yiyang, who has worked hard in Wood District since he was a child, is definitely different from other children.

Afterwards, Yiyang didn't answer any of the reporters' questions. He just wants to go back to the locker room, call his mother, and celebrate with his teammates.

Seeing Yiyang's back pushing away, Mu Ran felt a little unbelievable. A Chinese guard who can squeeze into the first round of the NBA draft. This kind of thing was unheard of before!

China does have several big men who have played in the NBA, and both Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian have enjoyed great success. But this is the first time for a guard with such a high draft pick!

How will this guy perform in the NBA? Will his appearance change the status quo of Chinese basketball?

Mu Ran is very interested in Yiyang, because this kid is either mediocre. Or, he will turn China's basketball world upside down!

A March Madness tournament victory makes Yi Yang a real celebrity. But the No. 1 defender can't relax just yet, fame is not Yiyang's goal.

The Bulldogs' ambition is more than just a game win.
