Chapter 116: I Didn't Expect You to Pass

Coach K's timely pause made the surging fans in the audience gradually calm down. Although this referee is a bit brain-dead, we Blue Devils are still ahead.

Seeing that order on the court had been restored, Coach K didn't say anything during the entire timeout, but replaced Sun Yi, who had committed three fouls with Henderson.

After the game started again, the away Virginia Institute of Technology was not only not affected by the riot on the court, but became more and more courageous. In particular, Vasalo, who took down the opponent's No. 8 player, hit two three-pointers in front of Henderson, who had just come on the court, and the score of the two teams was quickly pulled to within five points.

With a dead ball, Henderson, who had just been on the pitch for just over two minutes, was replaced by McClure. This frustrated rookie came to Sun Yi's side and sat on the empty bench.

"Dude, I understand how you just felt now, that guy is a complete asshole." Henderson gritted his teeth and looked at the old fritter of the visiting team, and before he was excited to be sent on by the coach, he was choked by the guy who didn't have a clean mouth. With an unbalanced mentality, he was then exploited by Vasaloga, who has a lot of experience in the game, and hit two three-pointers in a row.

Sun Yi, who was replaced for too many fouls, after reflection on the bench, already knew that he was being played by the old leather of Virginia Tech. Even though I understand that I am not calm enough, I am still a little indignant in my heart. That guy, the kung fu and small movements of the mouth will simply drive people crazy. Although Sun Yi has played a lot of games since he came to the United States to study, it is the first time he has encountered such a superb opponent.

38 to 37. At the end of the first half, the Dukes were just one point ahead of their opponents. Because of too many fouls, Sun Yi only played 8 minutes and got 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, setting a new low for his halftime scoring at Duke University.

"Sun, ignore the other party's verbal and physical contact. Scoring real points is the best way to fight back against your opponent. Although he is a millennium substitute, Pagliuca, who is a senior, is obviously well-informed, and he can't help but step forward to enlighten this sullen Chinese teammate.

"Thank you, Joe. I think I know how to play in the second half. For this big brother of the team who often helps him practice, Sun Yi is not only grateful, but he is left to repay the other party with his excellent performance.

"Do you want Sun to rest a little longer?" Coach Voi said to the Blues coaching staff outside the locker room discussing the team's style of play in the second half, with a worried look on his face.

After listening to this, Coach K turned his eyes to his old partner Collinson. "I think it's better to keep him in the starting line-up, after all, it's only the first game of the regular season and it's worth paying a little bit for the team's growth."

After listening to the analysis of my old friend, Coach K nodded deeply. "It's business as usual!"

A.D. Vasallo, who became the key contributor to Virginia Tech's death at Duke University's home court, looked at the Chinese player in front of him with a look of surprise as the second half began. Haha, send this hairy boy up for me to ravage again, old Coach K, you are also quite courageous.

Sun Yi ignored the opponent's defiant smile, and calmly walked to Vasallo's side to prepare for the opponent's first attack.

In the second half of the game, the two teams gave full play to their respective characteristics, and the score was very anxious. In particular, Virginia Tech suddenly increased the defensive intensity, making it very difficult for the home team to adapt. 58-60, with 30 seconds left in the game, the Duke Blues still trailed the visitors by two points.

Although after the experience of the first half, Sun Yi's own mentality has been well controlled. But after all, it more or less affected his hand, and in the 15 minutes of playing time in the second half, he scored 9 points on 3-of-8 shooting and two free throws, accounting for nearly half of the team's scores.

"Sun, you and Josh did the final pick-and-roll coordination. Who's going to make the shot depends on you. Coach K drew the offensive route of the team's last attack on the tactical board, and McRoberts, who was standing on the side and listening attentively, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and finally held back. It's not that as the captain of the team, he is jealous of this Chinese teammate who is loved by the coach, but he feels that Sun Yi's condition today is not very good, and some shooting options are very unreasonable. Although the guy with outstanding strength still scored a team-high 14 points, he was still a little worried.

Sun Yi dribbled the ball while looking at the timer behind the basket. 15,14,13…… With 10 seconds left before the end of the game, the captain of the baseline activity McRoberts suddenly pulled outside the three-point line to cover his teammates, and Sun Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately used this block to get rid of Vasallo, who was buzzing in his ears throughout the game, and took advantage of the distance of two steps from the opponent's power forward, he made a feint to prepare to shoot with the ball in both hands. After directly shaking the opponent away, Sun Yi took the ball into the opponent's inner line.

Seeing that the opponent who had become extremely difficult in the second half was about to score under the basket, Vasalo hurriedly let go of the captain of the home team next to him and accelerated to the inside in an attempt to prevent the opponent from scoring.

Sun Yi, who burst into the basket, is suffering from the dilemma of being pinched back and forth. There is an opponent's center forward in front of the defense, and there is an old fritter in hot pursuit. He was really not sure of going in, and decisively threw the ball to McRoberts, who was temporarily vacant.

The teammate's back-of-head pass made the captain very comfortable to catch, but he obviously didn't expect Sun Yi to pass the ball out, and after a little stunned, the other players of the opponent pounced. Looking at the game time that was about to end, he had no choice but to resist the interference of his opponent and throw the ball in his hand.

Perhaps due to the lack of confidence in shooting, the basketball deviated slightly from the crosshairs, brushing round and round on the hoop, neither coming out nor entering. Fortunately, at the end of the game, this naughty guy unwillingly rolled into the Nets.

60 to 60. The excited Blue Devils players pounced on the captain who put in the equalizer goal, and Sun Yi, who gave a wonderful assist, was also among them. When McRoberts came out of the crowd, he hugged his Chinese teammate who provided him with the assist, and said in the other person's ear: "I'm sorry, I should have shot earlier." It's just, it's just ......"

"I just didn't think I could pass the ball, did you?" Sun Yi seemed to understand the other party's thoughts very well.

"Well, you can say that." The captain replied with some embarrassment.

"Actually, I can do anything for the sake of the team's victory. But that shot you just shot was really hanging. If I had to do it again, I would definitely shoot it myself. ”

"Uh, that's not good......"

After a one-minute break, extra time between the two teams began.

Buoyed by the game's late equaliser, the Duke Blues were cheered on by the home fans. Especially Sun Yi, who has a stronger desire to attack, swept away the shame of being teased by his opponent in the first half. Twice in a row, he used the breakthrough to make Vasalo eat fouls, and the opponent was fouled with five fouls.

"Hey! Dude, that's it, you won't be interesting if you don't have a game. Sun Yi, who has succeeded in revenge, will not let go of this opportunity to fight back against his opponent.

Vasalo, who looked depressed, actually admired and marveled at this very rare yellow player in the NCAA arena. In his four-year college basketball career, he has seen many talented players. But it is very rare for this Chinese player to show the kind of temperament that is more and more courageous in the game.

With the departure of the Virginia Tech defensive elite, Sun Yi, who is getting better and better, has no one to restrict. Three-pointers, mid-range shots, breakaway dunks, the entire Cameron court is crazy for this Chinese player. In particular, many Chinese students in the 'Sun Alliance' were so excited that they couldn't help crying......

The Duke Blue Devils, led by Sun Yi, played a wave of 17-5 small climax, completely crushing this stubborn opponent in overtime. In this wave of attacks, the No. 8 player of the Blue Devils scored 12 points on a single shot.

In the end, Duke University defeated the visiting Virginia Institute of Technology 77-65 to win the first regular season of the ACC league. Coach K looked at each other and smiled after hugging his assistants one by one off the field. Ha ha! The Blue Devils have really picked up a treasure this year!

The biggest contributor to the team's victory was Sun Yi, a Chinese player who scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 10-of-19 shooting.

The dense schedule did not allow the boys of the Blue Devils to stay too much in the joy of winning this game. Three days later, they will travel to Atlanta, the largest city in the southeastern United States, to take on Georgia Tech, another powerhouse in the ACC league.

Georgia Tech, which ranks third in the U.S. in science and engineering, and their Hornets men's basketball team is also a strong team to be reckoned with. While retaining the main team from last year, two more talented new stars who participated in this year's McDonald's High School All-Star Game in San Diego were recruited. Jan and Gavallis. Critanton.

In particular, the 1.96-meter-tall two-way guard Kerry Tanton, who is very popular with head coach Paul. Hewitt's weight. This problematic player who played a gun-wielding goal with 'General' Arenas in another time and space was sentenced to 23 years in prison for a shooting incident in 11 years. This basketball genius who fell early also came of age under the care of a single mother.

However, for now, Crittenton and Tedis who joined the team with him. Young has played very well at Georgia Tech, with both averaging 15 points per game, and the much-used Critanton has an all-around performance of 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

With the team's other outside player, Lewis. Collinch is back from injury, and Anthony, who is good at long-range shooting. Morrow was also squeezed to the bench. (It's Thunder's Moreau)

Plus Teddys, who will appear more often at the small forward position. Young, the Georgia Tech Hornets' outside strength is terrifying.

And ahead of the Duke Blues vs. Georgia Tech game, the ACC league has a heavyweight game in North Carolina home to Dean Brown. Staged at Smith Center.

On January 8, 2007, North Carolina hosted the University of Virginia, which has two outside titles. The backcourt duo of J.R. Reynolds and Sheehan Singerry, who are less than 1.90m tall, are arguably the best backcourt duo in the ACC league this season. These two little elves with gorgeous ball styles are like installing two powerful engines in a car.

The Virginia Cavaliers, under their leadership, have played the most over 100 games in the ACC league to date (two) and four games with 90 points. You must know that the NCAA game time is only 40 minutes, and 80 points in a game is considered a high score.

Compared with Virginia's strong offense and weak defense, the distinctive characteristics of external prosperity and internal decline, meritorious coach Roy . Williams' North Carolina looks more balanced. There's 'White Monster' Taylor inside. Hansbrook (20 points and 8.5 rebounds per game) and well-rounded freshman Brandon Wright (16 points and 7 rebounds per game), plus high school star point guard Ty Lawson (11 points and 6 assists per game), All-American McDonald's Three-Point Contest champion Wayne Ellington (13 points and 2 assists per game), and defensive guard Raysan Terry.

It seems that Joe's alma mater is stronger, but unfortunately the basketball game is not a simple math problem.

Under the onslaught of two NCAA veterans of the Virginia Cavaliers, the North Carolina outside line, which was composed of freshmen, was defeated. Lawson and Ellington, who once dominated the American high school basketball world, were almost abused and cried by Reynolds and Singer.

At half-time, the visitors led the traditional giants North Carolina 48-40 at home.

Coach Williams is obviously not a good-natured old man, and at halftime he scolded the two overwhelmed NCAA rookies, and he didn't get rid of his hatred after scolding, and directly deprived them of starting in the second half.

These two little guys were already embarrassed by the opponent's repair, and they were mercilessly replaced by the head coach, and they didn't believe it if they didn't have any ideas.

But the course of the game changed when the two talented defenders were replaced. North Carolina relied on the dominant interior line to continuously narrow the gap between the two teams. With five minutes remaining, an equaliser was finally awarded.

At this critical juncture, Coach Williams showed his superior coaching skills. Unexpectedly, Lawson and Ellington, who had been sitting for almost the entire second half, were replaced on the field, and the two, who thought they would not have a chance to play, had to do their best to get this unexpected joy.

Sure enough, two talented defenders who played a mess in the first half took over the game at the last minute. Led the team to a 12-2 wave, the attack wave that decided the outcome of the game.

After this strong dialogue, the major sports media in the United States have put the famous coach Roy . Williams' well-balanced North Carolina Blue Devils are regarded as the top seed in the ACC.

A day later, on January 10, 2007, another powerful dialogue was staged at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum, the home of Georgia Tech!
