Georgia Tech continues the tradition of science and engineering universities, with a nearly 7:3 ratio of men to women in the university, which is rare among all colleges and universities in the United States.

The Alexander Memorial Arena, which can accommodate more than 9,100 spectators, is full of strong masculine atmosphere. If the atmosphere at Cameron Arena can be described as frenetic, then Virginia Tech's home stadium has to be described as wild.

Although there is heating in the enclosed stadium, the act of watching the game naked in the winter is not something that everyone can easily do. And what is even more rare is that nearly half of the fans of the home team, the Hornets, are cheering for their team in this extremely unrestrained way, or venting.

Standing on the pitch, the Blue Devils seemed to feel like they were being locked up in a huge Colosseum, surrounded by nearly 10,000 beasts in human skin.

Sun Yi, who started as a control position in this game, took a few deep breaths and focused all his attention on the opponent who would be opposite him.

Gavallis. Critanton, a 1.96-meter-tall two-way guard, worked with Dwight in high school. Howard was a teammate. With a smile on his face all the time, he feels as innocent as the big boy next door. There is no indication that he will be imprisoned for murder in a few years.

One of the most important reasons why Sun Yi became the team's starting point guard in this game is that Coach K expects his ace player to be able to defeat the home team's core player Clittanton at both offensive and defensive ends.

In fact, these two high-profile freshman rookies have already met at last year's All-American McDonald's High School All-Star Game, but they have not gone head-to-head because of the coach's arrangement.

After the start of the game, the high-spirited Critanton, after half a year of college basketball career, was very eager to prove how ridiculous those media rankings used to be in front of opponents who were far more famous than him in high school.

Hewitt, the head coach of the Hornets, looked at the proud disciple who repeatedly hit the wall with the ball and singles off the court, and could only shake his head with a wry smile, still young!

Although Clittanton is full of fighting spirit, Sun Yi happens to be the least afraid of this kind of opponent. Except for the two men with the same height, all the other physical and technical attributes of the Blue Devils' No. 8 player are stable against the opponent.

At the end of the first half, rely on Teddys. Young's excellent play the Hornets barely tied the game with the visitors at 40. Coach Hewitt's high hopes for Critanton played 16 minutes, finishing with just six points, one board and one assist on 3-of-12 shooting, plus three turnovers. And the Chinese player Sun Yi, who was opposite him, although he didn't feel good today, still scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 4-of-9 shooting, plus 3 steals and 1 cap. These defensive stats that look good are all taken above Critanton's head. If it weren't for the Blue Devils' No. 3 position, they really couldn't come up with a guy who could defend Teddes. Young's players, I'm afraid that at half-time, should be the lead for the visitors.

Objectively speaking, this game is definitely comparable to NBA-level professional football games regardless of the intensity of confrontation or the technical and tactical level of the two teams. The only downside is that the protagonists of this game are a bunch of young people under the age of twenty. They may be more passionate, but there are too many uncertainties in the game.

In the second half of the game, Clittanton still didn't play well under Sun Yi's defense. However, the sudden outburst of the Hornets' 1.91m short quartile, Lynch, changed the situation on the court.

He shot 1-of-5 in the first half, as if after halftime, he took over teammate Teddys. Young's fiery hand not only hit three points in a row, but also repeatedly broke through the penalty area.

The coaching staff of the Blue Devils obviously did not have much psychological preparation and planning for this sudden change. Neither Paulus nor Nelson were able to effectively limit their opponents' attacks, and it was Henderson, who had not played well in the first game, that managed to hold the Blues' bleeding wounds down.

However, the difference has been widened to double digits, which still shows that the adjustment of the visiting team is not timely enough. In just 8 minutes, Clinch shot 7-of-9 and 3-of-4 three-pointers, scoring 17 points and leading the Hornets to a 19-7 mini-climax. The Blue Devils seem to be affected by the frenetic home atmosphere of the opponent, and many very simple open shots are missed, and even Paulus and Sun Yi, who have the most consistent shooting in the team, have repeatedly missed the opportunity to win nine out of ten.

"Captain, we can't go on like this, we have to think of a way." After another dead ball, Sun Yi, who looked depressed, pulled his teammates to discuss anxiously.

"TMD, the second half of the game today was really damn good, I couldn't shoot anything." McRoberts complained about the Blues' rare bad luck, and even he missed two must-score chances.

"Actually, the opponent's defense is not as good as the Virginia Tech we just beat, or we will wait like ......this," Sun Yi and the team captain said in their ears after looking up at the remaining game time.

In addition to the substitution of Henderson, the old coach K, who was standing on the sidelines, kept his mouth pursed and watched everything that happened on the pitch in the face of an extremely unfavorable backward situation, and he did not seem to be ready to use the timeout to boost the team's somewhat low morale.

Backbite! After receiving the ball in the low post, McRoberts shook the defender with a realistic feint, and before the opponent landed, he leaned towards the opponent who had nowhere to borrow power in the air, and threw the ball in his hand towards the basket. Today Lady Luck clearly prefers the home team, and the basketball bouncing on the hoop a few times, still playfully refusing to go into the net. However, the poor shooting touch did not seem to affect the Blue Devils captain's free throws, and after hitting both shots, the team's scoring drought of nearly two minutes was finally broken.

Backbite! The referee blew the whistle and trotted all the way to the technical table. The home team's No. XX player fouled the hitter, and the away team's No. 8 player made two free throws......

The old Coach K, who had been thoughtful, covered his mouth with his hand and snickered happily after seeing the two players he relied on the most step up to the free throw line one after another......

The Blue Devils, who were behind in the score, although their shooting was surprisingly bad, they took advantage of the excellent individual abilities of Sun Yi and McRoberts, and constantly used free throws to narrow the gap between the two teams. With three minutes left in the game, the visitors, who had fallen behind by a large margin, tied the score at 72-73.

Based on previous trends, it looks like Duke is likely to come back from behind to win. But unexpectedly, Krinch, who has been silent since Henderson came on the court, once again burst out with amazing scoring ability.

After a false shot, the unreasonable dry pull of three points stabilized the shaky situation on the court. After the Blues failed to attack, it was he who broke through Henderson, faced McRoberts's defense, and hit a very difficult pull-up to change hands, instantly extending the lead to six points.

Seeing that the team's momentum was still high just now, and was immediately doused with two basins of cold water by the little quarterback, Coach K finally called the first timeout in the second half.

In fact, the time-out Blue Devils coaching staff did not set up any new tactics, as if it was just to give the main players who did not have much rest in the second half to breathe.

"Mike, do you want Sun Yi to keep an eye on Lynch?" Coach Woy saw that the timeout was coming up and couldn't help but remind his superiors.

After thinking for a moment, Coach K shook his head. "Let's do it step by step, if you make a rash change to the lineup, it is very likely that Critanton, who has been inactive for the whole game, will suddenly find a feeling. I'd rather trade the price of a regular-season game for an opponent's core player and eternal reverence for the Blues, no matter how many years he'll play in the league. ”

Coach Voj, who was able to join the Duke Blue Devils coaching staff directly after college, is not an easy guy. At least his sycophant kung fu is a bit of the style of the second dog of the imperial army. Seeing that he pretended to have a sudden realization, he hurriedly stretched out his thumb and said with a sneer: "High, really high!"

Sun Yi, who was sitting on the bench and wiped the sweat off his body with a towel, found that the coach did not arrange the tactics for the last two minutes of the game after a little replenishment. How? Today's teammates don't feel good, do you have to turn me into a cancer? I'm afraid that's not right, right? Do you want to watch the game lose before your eyes? ……

Until he came back on the pitch, the Blue Devils' no.8 had yet to figure out how he could help the team.

In the final moments of the game, Georgia Tech pushed their defensive intensity to the limit in order to secure the victory. Every pass from the Blue Devils was extremely difficult.

Critanton, who was suppressed by Sun Yi throughout the game, seemed to turn all his anger into his aggressive close defense. This plaster-like entanglement did work, and the Blue Devils' No. 8 had no chance to catch the ball at all.

Because the outside teammates are greatly limited under the opponent's high-pressure defense. McRoberts, who was in a good position on the inside, was unable to receive the ball. In desperation, he had to pull to the outside line to deal with his teammates.

Henderson, who was almost stopped, saw the captain who came from cover, as if he saw a loved one. The two simply made a pick-and-roll, at which point the ball in his hand was like a hot potato, and Henderson lost it to the captain of the Blue Devils.

McRoberts responded high, but his teammates didn't know if they could get out of position under the opponent's almost frantic marking. As long as any Blue Devils player runs out of space, he has the confidence to pass the ball accurately.

Sun Yi, who had been running without the ball, saw the captain get the ball at a high position of 45 degrees on the left side, and then slammed from the right sideline to the top of the arc.

Critanton, who has been fully focused on defense, kept using physical contact to reduce the opponent's speed, and stretched out his left hand to block Sun Yi's body, intending to interfere with the opponent's catch.

McRoberts, who kept observing his teammates' movements, seemed to see his Chinese teammates running towards him. He raised his arms to grasp the ball and made a preparatory gesture for the pass.

I want to catch the ball, no way! Critanton, who was bent on proving himself on the defensive end, saw that the opponent did have the intention of passing, and hurriedly increased his speed again.

Hey! What's going on? The right hand, which had been holding the opponent's waist, suddenly lost its target. He turned his head and looked, oh no!

said that it was too late, and the moment Sun Yi saw the captain make a passing action, he used a sharp stop to turn around and get rid of the opponent who was too strong. He didn't stop, but went straight into the opponent's penalty area.

Finally, after McRoberts saw his teammates get rid of the entanglement of the opponent, he immediately passed the ball to Sun Yi's body, because the advance of this pass was just right, the No. 8 player of the Blue Devils team, who had already accelerated the speed, did not pause at all, and used the huge inertia to take a step in the free throw line, and directly jumped and slid and dunked. This seemingly extremely brutal slam dunk gave the home team's interior players a premonition of unstoppability, and directly gave up the last defense.

"Well done, boy!" Coach Voy, who was sitting in the coach's seat, waved his fist excitedly. He couldn't help but applaud loudly in his heart for Sun Yi's beautiful off-ball run. If you want to improve your off-the-ball skills like this, in addition to deliberately practicing when the team is practicing together, the rest can only be improved by using actual combat in the game.

"Sun, well done!" McRoberts, who gave the assist, happily high-fived Sun Yi, who had just smashed his opponent. "Wait for you to distribute the ball, Henderson is really not the material for this." If it weren't for my timely response, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to wait for this beautiful goal.

Because of Sun Yi's wonderful dunk this time, the Blue Devils were full of momentum. Teddys was excellent before he was defended. After Young's pull-up jumper, the ball was back in Duke possession once again.

The Chinese player, who was dribbling the ball, looked up at the remaining game time. In 1 minute, the difference between the two teams is 4 points, and a round is 35 seconds...... After this information flashed through Sun Yi's brain, he immediately made a decision.

Bang Bang Bang! A burst of extremely fast crotch dribbling made Critanton, who was in a defensive position, feel like a big enemy. Looking at the somewhat weak-hearted opponent, Sun Yi curled the corners of his mouth.

Syllable! Chirping! In a big disguise, the ball came to the left side of the No. 8 player of the Blue Devils, and slammed the ball to the side and forward, and the super explosive power instantly left the opponent behind. Coming to the free throw line, he faced Tedis who came from the defense. Young, instead of passing the ball to McClure, who was already in the open position, chose to believe in himself.

Although the opponent has a height of 2.04 meters and good athleticism, Sun Yi, who has a strong ability to stay in the air, waited for the opponent to start falling before gently pulling out the ball in his hand with a smile......

Swish! The constantly shaking basketball net marks the hollow of the basketball once again.

50 seconds! The Blue Devils are still two points behind! The race has come to an early stage!

Under tremendous pressure, Coach Hewitt had to call a timeout to set up a crucial offensive round!

On the Duke Blues' bench, all the players jumped with excitement, believing they would equalise in the final moments as they did in the previous game.
