Several teams in the NBA have also begun to pay attention to this young player, and such a point guard is rare for any team - this is a young player with extraordinary talent and a super big heart.
An American media outlet also took matters into its own hands, saying that "Ye Lunyu will be the next Kelly Irving, and it will be the tuba." ”
For a while, Ye Lunyu was hyped. Huge public opinion pressure poured on Ye Lunyu, a young player.
But Ye Lunyu did not lose himself because of the media hype, and he is seriously preparing for the next match. Next up, they'll face a local derby: North Carolina State University.
Before the game, the major media paid a lot of attention to this game. They all said it was a battle between the best rookies in advance. Because Jayton Rowdy, the leading scorer on the NC State team, is the player predicted by the lottery to be the top pick in this year's draft, and most importantly, he is the same point guard as Ye Lunyu.
Ye Lunyu has also heard of Radi's awesomeness, and for him, this game happens to be a good opportunity to train him.
Before the game started, Ye Lunyu already knew that there would be many scouts to watch the game, and more to tap those talented players. And Ye Lunyu has also become a key object of observation.
"Gotta play this game. Ye Lunyu thought before the game.
……
The next afternoon, North Carolina State University Stadium.
As always, the rehearsal of the Eastern Conference finals is about to kick off.
North Carolina came out of the locker room under tremendous pressure. In this match, they are the top seeds in the Eastern Conference. The opponent NC State has developed its basketball program well in recent years, and it is a perennial leader in the NCAA Eastern Division, second only to North Carolina and second in the Eastern Division. In addition, the last game was only won by relying on a stunner, and in this game, they are even more bottomless.
On the North Carolina state side, on the other hand, every player looks relaxed, and they are bound to win.
After a short period of strategic planning, the North Carolina coach put the players on the court. The coach also has a five-five mentality for this game, after all, basketball relies on on-the-spot play.
North Carolina State took the lead in attacking.
Ye Lunyu and Radius are opposed. Radius is 1.92 meters tall, about the same as Ye Lunyu, and his speed is slightly faster than Ye Lunyu.
Radius still plays in the same style as always, and can be independent. As soon as it came up, it was singles. After all, he was talented and bold, and he successfully scored one goal and two points above Ye Lunyu's head.
Ye Lunyu didn't have a strong desire to attack when he came up, but he just fed his teammates frequently to create opportunities.
After a quarter of the game, North Carolina and North Carolina State were evenly matched, and the two sides ended the first quarter tied at 19.
Back on the bench, the coach had no intention of switching to a rotation lineup in the second quarter, as the opponent was too strong and had to continue to deal with it with the main force.
As soon as he came, the coach specifically talked to Ye Lunyu: "Your task today is very difficult, and you have to target Jeton Roddy. You're defending well in the first quarter, but you're going to have to save some energy for offense, and I'm going to rotate the defense. ”
"Well, I'll step up my attack. Ye Lunyu nodded and replied.
Sure enough, as soon as the second quarter came up, Ye Lunyu played very actively on the offensive end, which made Radi's physical strength consume too much on the defensive end, and in less than three minutes in the second quarter, Radius took the initiative to apply to the coach for a break.
Ye Lunyu, who has no defensive burden, is more and more active and feels better and better, coupled with Fergis and Nara Kawajie in the interior strategy, North Carolina quickly established an advantage.
The NC state had to call a timeout.
Back on the court, North Carolina replaced Ye Lunyu and Nara Kawa Jie, allowing the rotation players to play the remaining five minutes.
North Carolina State brought on Radius from the ground up and let him continue to play with a rotating lineup.
Roddy, who returned to the court, deserved to be a super scorer with an average of 27 points per game, and immediately launched an offensive. Jumping left and right, grabbing shots on the outside, breaking through to the inside to make a layup, and doing anything. North Carolina continued to play team basketball, using positional battles to find opportunities and gaps, and with Fries as the strategic core, using Fries's singles and breakouts to achieve good results.
At halftime, North Carolina led North Carolina State by five points, 43-38.
On the sidelines, scouts were discussing based on the performance of the players just now.
One scout said: "I don't think Radius has a good style of play, it hurts him too much, and if he continues to play like this, he'll be the next Derrick Rose." ”
"Yes, I appreciate Yelunyu and Frees more in comparison, they play more practically, they will be a good tactical hub for the team. Another veteran scout gave his opinion.
"But I think Radius will still be the champion, there's no doubt about it. Hornets scout Kaman said.
"Why?" questioned Lakers scout Daniels.
"Because for the Lakers and Pelicans, who are most likely to get the No. 1 pick this year, they desperately need a scoring machine and a tactical core, and Radius is just that kind of player. Carman responded.
"No, no, no, we have a lot of young players in the team, they all have a certain attacking ability, and instead of having another attacking player, it is better to have a player who can lead the team and organize the attack. Daniels said.
"Ye Lunyu didn't say that he will participate in the draft this year, sir. Kaman said.
"We'll convince him. Daniels said.
……
The scouts are arguing and the second half has already begun.
Entering the second half, the North Carolina State side stepped up their offense. With Radius at the core, they launched a fierce attack. They mainly play defensive counter-attacking tactics, using Radi's speed and running to score points.
For a while, North Carolina was disrupted by the opponent's fast-paced attack, and North Carolina, which originally advocated positional warfare, also started a fast-paced attack, but the more and more chaotic it became, and it was soon overtaken by North Carolina State.
North Carolina had no choice but to call a timeout.
The coach was very angry: "Don't follow others like a fart, you have to continue to stick to your own style." Show your fighting spirit. ”
"Also, as soon as Radius enters the penalty area, he immediately asks someone to come over to make up for the defense and pack, so as not to leave him any chance to attack. The coach then added.
Back on the field, the North Carolina players did what the coach said. As a result, Radius was really helpless by the tight defense, and there were several mistakes.
North Carolina immediately took advantage of these successful defenses to overtake the score.
Ye Lunyu continued to launch a fierce attack, desperately breaking through the penalty area, greatly consuming Le Di's physical strength.
With the right tactics, North Carolina led North Carolina State 62-55 into the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, North Carolina still used the tactics of the third quarter to suppress North Carolina State in terms of scores.
The North Carolina state coaching staff is helpless about this style of play, they are too dependent on Radius.
Ye Lunyu played only three minutes in the fourth quarter before he went off. For a surefire game, you don't have to take it too seriously.
The game ended quickly, with North Carolina beating North Carolina State 80-66. In this derby, they came home with honors.
Ye Lunyu was interviewed by the media after the game, and the reporter threw him a few pointed questions: "Who do you think is stronger, you or Radius?" ”
"No one can say for sure, but from my point of view, I'm stronger. Ye Lunyu replied.
"Will you be in the NBA draft this year?"
"I'm still thinking about it, and I'll give you an answer in April. ”
"Okay, let me ask you another question, why did you win this game by a big score?" the reporter asked Ye Lunyu.
"There is a saying in China that 'water comes to cover the earth, and soldiers come to block', and in basketball we just used the right tactics at the right time and opportunity. Ye Lunyu replied.
……
Back in the locker room, a man in a suit and leather shoes found Ye Lunyu, who was Daniels.
"Hello Mr. Ye Lunyu, I'm Daniels, a scout for the Los Angeles Lakers. Daniels was the first to say hello to Ye Lunyu.
"Hello, Mr. Daniels, I wonder what you are looking for me?" Ye Lunyu asked.
"Well, I sincerely hope that you will be able to participate in this year's NBA Draft. Daniels gets straight to the point.
"I'm sorry, I haven't thought about this yet, I'll get back to you next month. Ye Lunyu said.
"It's okay, I'm just here to give you some advice. Daniels said.
"You know, we need a point guard on our team, and if we think about it, you're the way to go. If you are willing to join, we will give you a good salary. Daniels continued.
"But I have to give up my studies, sir. Ye Lunyu said.
"Oh, if you join, we'll help you hire a professional teacher to help you with the rest of your studies. Moreover, if we draw the champion, we will definitely choose you. Daniels continued.
Daniels' offer was really tempting, Los Angeles was where his parents lived, and it was really nice to be able to meet them. Ye Lunyu pondered for a moment, and resolutely said to Daniels: "Okay, I agree to participate in the draft." ”
