Chapter Eighty-Three: Battle for Oak Hill High School Again

(Dear book friends, I can't sleep well without seeing your support knife every day!!!! )

With all the resources being poured into it, the NCAA March Madness is in full swing. Chicago's local cable television station won the rights to broadcast the game, and while it wasn't as big as last year, fans across Chicago were looking forward to it.

On the day of the game, the Illinois State University Coliseum, which can accommodate more than 8,000 people, was filled with enthusiastic Chicago fans early on.

In order to successfully complete the broadcast work, Chicago Cable TV specially invited the authoritative reporter of the American Today high school basketball section. Powers.

"Hey! Dhoni, say hello to your friends in front of the TV. The host was very experienced in pushing the guest narrator Bowers to the forefront.

"Hello everyone, I'm Doni ......"

After a round of pleasantries, the camera focused on the Oak Hill Warriors who were warming up on the court. "Dhoni, could you please introduce the main players of Oak Hill High School to the fans?"

"Okay. This year, the Warriors' leading scorer is ......" The live commentary of the first pair of partners is surprisingly tacit together.

"Oh! Hearing your detailed introduction, it seems that the strong Oak Hill High School is here prepared. So, how will our Chicago homegrown team, Timothy High School, respond? ”

After Glenn left the team, the Trojans relied entirely on Sun Yi's outstanding performance to maintain a winning record. The Chinese player's growth this year has exceeded everyone's expectations. ”

"Yes, I couldn't agree more with Dhoni. You must know that Sun Yi has become the first outside player in the history of American high schools to complete an average triple-double per game. Oh yes. I'm afraid it's not all, let's take a look at his average data per game, 32 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks. I can't think of any other player who has done that in such a well-rounded offensive and defensive performance. ”

"Hehe, that's right. But the rise of another player in the team is also a big reason why Timothy High School maintains an unbeaten record. Thomas, who suddenly grew to 1.86 meters tall, became Sun Yi's most important helper. Although his offensive ability with the ball needs to be improved, his consistent three-point shooting percentage and tenacious defense have made him the No. 2 man on the Trojans. ”

"Thank you Doni for your professional and detailed introduction. The starting players from both sides have entered the field, so let's enjoy the wonderful performances of the lads! ”

Sun Yi, who was expressionless, glanced at Gamont, an old acquaintance standing next to him. Gordon. Swept to the Warriors bench again, a listless Ty. Lawson. The opponent seems to be missing something this year than the last time, and the atmosphere always feels weird. Hehe, whatever!

Just by being glanced at by the other party, the sensitive Gooden found that the opponent's number one star had a very different temperament from last year. He couldn't tell the difference, but he could feel how indifferent the opponent's eyes were just now, and that cool feeling made the hairs on his body stand up instantly. It's horrible! Haven't teed off yet, Gamont. Gooden was already scared before he frightened.

The Warriors point guard, who was ready to be blown up and ravaged, was delighted to find that the cold guy hadn't been staring at him all the time after the game began.

Sun Yi, who is running erratically, sometimes pulls a three-pointer on Gooden's head, sometimes relies on the Warriors' small forward to complete a flowing turn and lean back, or makes a serpentine breakthrough in the face of Beasley, who has little defensive enthusiasm......

The entire Oak Hill High School defense line was shattered by Sun Yi alone, and Coach Smith called several timeouts in a row to solve this tricky problem.

Before you know it, the first half of the game is over. 42:40 Timothy High School temporarily leads by two points.

During the intermission, the TV cameras caught an interesting vignette. There were probably dozens of fans dressed in the red Trojans uniforms, wearing homemade masks and pieces of paper with letters written on them, gathered in one of the stands.

The curious cameraman zoomed in the camera, and it turned out that these were Sun Yi's fans. His handsome oriental face was made into a cartoon-style mask and worn on his face by fans who loved him. Holding up pieces of paper full of cheering in his hands, he sang and danced in the stands.

Because of Sun Yi's outstanding performance, he has won the love of many local fans in Chicago. There are some die-hard fans who will bring these homemade props with them every time they play and gather together to cheer for this big Chinese boy.

Under the reminder of his friend Thomas, Sun Yi, who was resting on the bench, also discovered this touching scene. He walked underneath the auditorium and raised his hands above his head to applaud these adorable fans. This action immediately attracted a cheer.

Unknowingly, this Chinese boy has left his own unique mark in the city where he has lived for four years.

"Dhoni, after watching the first half of the game, why do I always feel that the star-studded Warriors have dropped in strength compared to last year?" The Chicago cable TV host asked with a puzzled expression.

"Well, I guess it has something to do with the characteristics of the current Warriors players. Beasley, the team's number one star, only pays attention to his own stats and seems to have an indifferent attitude towards the team's victory or defeat. Bowers saw very clearly in the first half, there were several times when Sun Yi's breakthrough should have been assisted by Beasley, probably because he was afraid of too many fouls, and almost watched the opponent score a layup. Bowers looked down at the stats of the players on both sides and continued: "In addition, although the main point guard Jennings cut a lot of points on Thomas's head, he, as the playmaker of the team, did not connect the team's offense well, and too many individual singles affected the scoring efficiency. Moreover, Thomas, who was opposite him, repeatedly got open three-point opportunities and hit them. ”

"Doni is very detailed, so what will change on Timothy High School in the second half?"

"The Trojans should still rely on Sun's individual ability to lead the team's offense. I specifically counted that he had a stronger desire to attack in the second half and was very efficient. Once the Chinese player finds his touch and form, the Warriors will have a very difficult time. Moreover, this year's Oak Hill High School has no shortage of scorers, what is lacking is precisely the defensive elite. "Bowers has been very vocal about his confidence in the Trojans' number one player.

"Well, you have a lot of truth in what you said, Sun is indeed the key factor in determining the outcome of this match. Well, the players from both sides have entered the field, so let's wait and see who will win the game. ”
