Chapter Eighty-Four: The Miracle of Timoth!
In fact, in the first half of the game, Sun Yi has been controlling the number of shots he makes. He scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. If it's not a very good opportunity, I basically won't force it to go it alone. Because, he has been accumulating strength for the second half that will decide the outcome of the game.
When the game resumed, Oak Hill High School significantly tightened up their defense against Sun Yi and Thomas. Even Beasley, who doesn't like to defend much, has significantly improved his defensive enthusiasm after being sprayed by the blower-like coach Smith in the locker room at halftime. There's also a change to last year's starting point guard Ty. Lawson, finally got his chance to play. It seemed that the situation was starting to get serious, Sun Yi felt it.
After that little point guard with a fighting spirit came on the floor, the Warriors' offense improved significantly under his aggressive tandem organization.
The last ball, after a series of passes from the players on the field, returned to Lawson's hand. Looking at the few rounds left, he unhurriedly made a breakthrough feint. After pushing Thomas back, everyone thought he was going to shoot a three-pointer. As a result, the action of fake casting and true biography even deceived Sun Yi. Beasley, who quietly slipped outside the three-point line, caught the ball and was a three-pointer. He can be inside and out, and such a good opportunity will not be easily let go.
Sun Yi, who obviously felt that his opponent was imposing, squinted with a calm face. After seeing his opponent's expression, Gooden, who was opposite him, felt a cold breeze blow down his spine.
Sure enough, Sun Yi, as the team's number one star, will never let go of the opponent's arrogance. Outside the three-point line, he dribbled behind his back with a few consecutive shoulder shakes, leaving Gooden dumbfounded. A simple acceleration and you can easily get rid of your opponents.
Watching the Chinese player burst into the penalty area with the ball, Beasley didn't dare to slack off this time. hurriedly pounced on the opponent's possible breakthrough route, and the blue-collar center teammates on the side also actively stepped forward to block.
is a good Sun Yi, facing the opponent's tall inside player. With the ball in both hands, with the strange pace under his feet, the two big men who are more than 2 meters old don't know where he wants to break through for a while. Just like the peerless master in a martial arts novel stepping on the seven stars, Sun Yi dodged the control range of the opponent's center in one step, and he took a big step in this first step.
Just when Sun Yi's old power had exhausted his new strength and was not born, Beasley, who saw the right time, rushed to the horse. Standing in his position, he waited for the guy who was already exhausted to bump into him. Beasley, who was thinking about whether to cheat an offensive foul, suddenly noticed a vision. The No. 8 player of the Trojans, who seemed powerless, unexpectedly changed the direction of the breakthrough again.
Compared with the first step, the second step is also the last step of the layup, Sun Yimai is small, but it is also faster. Using his good flexibility, he dodged Beasley, who defended well. There's nothing special about the height of this layup, but it's not a short distance. Sun Yi jumped from outside the reasonable collision zone and jumped directly into the basket. With a flick of the left hand, the ball falls briskly into the net......
"Oh my God, good ball. This layup reminds me of the 'Demon Knife' Ginobili at his peak. "Indeed, everyone in the United States who can host live basketball has a good vision.
"Hmmm! This layup action looks very good for the Oriental, agile and efficient. Bowers agreed, very cooperatively.
……
After a timely response from Timotai High's core players, Oak Hill High School's offense missed a three-point shot. Sun Yi, who had already judged the landing point, jumped high, and then immediately accelerated to dribble to the opponent's half.
Seeing this scene, the group of Sun Yi's fans in the audience immediately cheered. Because the fans who know him well already know what will happen next.
I saw a figure as fast as lightning, and instantly burst into the opponent's forbidden area. The Warriors were caught off guard, and only Lawson reluctantly followed Sun Yi's ass to eat ashes.
An easy fast-break layup followed by two more points. The return defense on TV shows that Sun Yi only took 3 seconds 33 seconds from grabbing the rebound to completing the shot.
"God! This Chinese teenager should participate in the 100-meter event at the Olympics. Obviously, the host was amazed by this extremely fast attack.
Powers, who has been paying attention to Sun Yi, is no longer surprised, "This kind of fast attack is a new weapon developed by Sun Yi this season. His assists are almost proportional to his rebounds, and when he controls rebounds like this, he can use his explosive power to create very easy fast-break opportunities, sometimes he makes his own layups, and sometimes he passes to Thomas who is on the line from beyond the three-point line. ”
As if to confirm Bowers' words, Beasley's turnaround jumper hit the blue neck and bounced high. Sun Yi once again used his keen sense of smell to grab the rebound, and just like last time, the speed soared instantly.
Lawson began to retreat into his own half of the court as soon as the opponent jumped up to pick up the ball. Sure enough, the Chinese player who impressed him once again rushed over with the ball. Lawson, who was ready to foul, found the ball flying outside the three-point line.
Thomas, who had just arrived at his shooting point, received Sun Yi's pass very comfortably, and shot three points directly without adjustment. Swish! Timothy High School scored three more points. The Warriors, whose offense had just improved, were once again pulled away by their opponents. 55:65 trailing by 10 points.
Lawson looked at the cold-eyed Chinese player with a dejected expression, it seems that I have no chance to beat you in high school.
Soon, Coach Smith, who was in a hurry to go to the hospital, actually replaced Lawson, who looked good, with Jennings, who had performed average before.
"I think this game is over." Bowers came to an early conclusion with five minutes left on the game time.
The games that followed proved why he was able to become the authority on basketball in USA Today.
After Jennings appeared on the stage, Oak Hill High School, which had just improved, returned to the state of using his personal ability to fight alone. Not everyone can dominate the game like Jordan and Kobe. This inefficient way of attacking has repeatedly given Sun Yi the opportunity to launch a rebounding fast attack.
The difference between the two teams continued to widen, and with one minute left in the game, Coach Bo Li graciously replaced all the starting players.
80:68 Unlike the last thrilling victory, this time Sun Yi led his teammates to take down the opponent easily. He played 36 minutes and had a triple-double of 38 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists. Among them, Thomas's 5 three-pointers were all won by Sun Yi's score in the fast-break counterattack.
With this, the Timothy Trojans ended all the games of the season. They also created a miracle in American high school basketball, going undefeated for two years and two months in a row.
And Sun Yi, a young man from China, became an important figure in writing this legend.
