Chapter 18: A sharp knife to the heart

Another magical assist not only kept the ball for the team, but also gave Hayward a chance to dunk. I really doubt that this kid's eyes have a 360° field of vision. Otherwise, it's really hard for you to explain how you did that pass! ”

Although this is the home stadium of the Buckeye Trees, the picture of Yiyang flying saving and directly assisting was replayed on the big screen at the scene.

Other people's flying saves can only save the ball back to the field at most, but Yiyang not only saved the ball, but also sent a wonderful pass!

This guy who only scored 4 points has already taken control of the game before he has made any big moves.

Yiyang's pass was like a sharp dagger, slashing at the Buckeye team one by one, making the team fighting at home all over the body.

But now, Stevens doesn't want Yiyang to grind down so slowly. In the process of retreating this time, Yiyang saw Stevens, who was standing on the edge of the bench, spread one hand, clenched his fist with the other, and then collided with each other fiercely.

It's a signal, one that only the Bulldogs players can understand. Stevens' meaning is simple, he asks Yiyang to start attacking on his own!

Stevens didn't want Yiyang to attack on a whim, and after the battle just now, the starting five tigers of the Buckeyes were already very tired. In this way, the defensive pressure that Yiyang encounters will also be greatly reduced. His breakthrough will go straight to the heart of the Buckeye team!

Yiyang attacked, and Stevens could slowly replace the others off the field and let the main force take a breather. As a result, the exhausted Buckeye team will only sink deeper and deeper.

After an attack, Evan was unable to make perfect movements because of a severe drop in physical fitness. Turner, once again shooting from beyond the three-point line.

This time, the Buckeyes players didn't even dare to scramble for frontcourt rebounds. Seeing that Turner missed the shot, everyone immediately ran to their own half of the court, for fear of being attacked by the lightning-fast No. 1 guard again.

After Yiyang received Matt's pass, he didn't advance as unhurriedly as before. Instead, he sprinted directly, and he wanted to score points while the Buckeyes team's defense was not fully rolled out!

I saw a yellow lightning fly through the crowd, and it didn't take long to reach the three-point line in the front court!

At this time, the Buckeye players were just getting into place. Before everyone could react, the yellow lightning bolt had already slashed in.

Yiyang didn't mean to brake at all, he directly used his fast speed to wipe the opposing player. This time, Yiyang has no skills to speak of, and he is completely bullying people who can't keep up with his speed!

Seeing that his point guard was flashed by Yiyang, Iman, as the center of the frame, hurriedly made up for the basket, hoping to be ashamed.

However, the heavy center had barely taken a step sideways when Yiyang sped past him. In Yiyang's eyes, Iman's movements are almost like slow motion.

Yiyang ran a straight line, from the back court to the front court, and pierced the Buckeye team's defense! Facing the empty basket, Yiyang did not intend to dunk against the danger of being chased. Instead, with a slight pick of his right hand, the basketball hit the rebound, and then obediently bounced back into the net.

The commentators on the stage were still talking about Evan Lee. Turner's continuous ironing, only to find out in the blink of an eye that the Bulldogs' offense is over!

The guys all stared at each other with wide eyes. "What happened in those few seconds? When was this score rewritten? ”

Nate. Martin shook his head helplessly on the sidelines, now the players on the Buckeyes team are playing very hard, and their physical strength is seriously consumed, they simply can't cope with such a fast offensive and defensive rhythm.

Even if it is difficult, the game will continue. The only thing the Buckeyes can look up to now is the All-American star Evan Brown. Turner too.

Turner, who was almost physically exhausted, finally chose to pass the ball in the face of another close defense from Hayward.

Evan swooped into the crowd through a beautiful off-ball screen and then rounded back to beyond the three-point line. Turner was shooting with the ball, and at this point, Hayward, who was defending Turner, was getting rid of the entanglement. It seemed that he simply couldn't interfere.

Sometimes, a three-pointer is enough to change a lot of things. For example, the Buckeye team's self-confidence, such as the favorable rhythm that is gradually being controlled by the enemy. Turner is hoping to wake up the team's fighting spirit with a brilliant goal, and a three-point goal is undoubtedly one of the most morale-boosting ones.

The college basketball prodigy didn't hesitate and immediately jumped out of his hand. When Turner, who could get an empty spot for himself, was about to throw the ball, Yiyang appeared as if out of thin air, raised his arms and flew in front of Turner.

Turner was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Yiyang, after all, he had always thought that there were no defenders around him!

Although Yiyang was not enough to directly block Turner's shot, his timely defense made Turner's inevitable goal a cloud of smoke. The basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high, but it did not fall into the net on the second fall.

"Failed again! Nate. Coach Martin should be able to consider a substitution! This group of starters of the Buckeyes team can no longer continue to compete on the field! They were so tired, they were overwhelmed by the rapid onslaught! ”

As soon as the narrator's words fell, Yiyang had already begun to run forward. Yiyang, who had just held back his strength, didn't plan to save them for the end.

As soon as Yiyang accelerated, everyone on the Buckeyes team began to block the passing route as much as possible, hoping to minimize the threat posed by Yiyang.

It seems that this group of guys still thinks that Yiyang is a "pure" point guard who can't score and can only pass the ball.

That's right, Yiyang does like to pass the ball very much, and passing is often his first priority on the basketball court. But that doesn't mean that Yiyang can only pass the ball!

In the process of advancing at high speed, Yiyang grabbed the basketball with his left hand and stretched out his hand. That direction, Gordon. Hayward is already in ambush in the bottom corner!

The Buckeyes players were nervous, and Evan Brown. Turner hurriedly crossed in front of Hayward, hoping that he could steal the basketball.

However, in the next second, the basketball didn't fly towards Hayward as Turner thought. Yiyang retracted the basketball and his gaze, and stepped into the penalty area in a big stride! This is just a false rumor!

After Yiyang deceived the opponents' defensive center of gravity with a fake pass, he raised his arm and jumped slightly.

It was another extremely light goal, and Yiyang didn't even look like he was sweating, and he broke down the Buckeye team's defense!

"Doot toot!" The referee's hurried whistle blew and Nate Anderson. Martin had to ask for a timeout again! Now the score difference on the court has been widened to double digits, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the first half of the Buckeyes will be buried by this fierce offensive!

But the game is playing at this moment, Nate. Martin didn't have much to furnish either. All he could do was take down the starting five tigers who were already too tired to do so, and let the substitutes hold up for a few minutes.

"Now, four minutes before half-time! I'll give you two minutes, and when the time is up, I'll replace you anyway! Remember, score, I want your own score! Use your breakthrough to widen the gap as much as possible! Before the end of the timeout, Stevens also specially explained the precautions to Yiyang. The time to play dead is over, and now, it's time for this group of guys who look down on Yiyang to see what an Asian can do on the field!

As the only starter among the ten people on the field now, Yiyang naturally received quite special treatment. Historically, the defensive focus has been on Strongward. And now, all the pressure is coming towards Yiyang.

Nate. Martin will no longer despise Yiyang now, the team is now 10 points behind, and it can be said that it has a lot to do with Yiyang!

Immediately after the timeout, the Buckeyes launched an attack. But in the absence of Turner, the Buckeyes team's offense was carried out for a long time without getting a chance, and in the end they could only make a hasty shot and end up with iron.

Bulldogs substitute center John. Wanzate took the rebound and handed it to Yiyang, and as soon as Yiyang received the ball, he found himself with a defender waiting for him in front of him. It seems that Nate. Martin is an exaggerated full-court tight defense against Yiyang, a newcomer!

The number one defender was not intimidated by the situation, and he pressed forward at the same pace as usual. The opposing player pressed up, and Yiyang continued to move forward with his shoulder across the opponent!

The defenders continued to put pressure on Yiyang, and Yiyang seemed to be unable to stand up to the opponent. After all, strength and body are against each other, and this is still one of Yiyang's current flaws. At this time, everyone thought that Yiyang would be forced to stop, but he suddenly slowed down, changed hands behind his back and dribbled, and then accelerated directly again, shaking off the defenders who came to press.

Nate. Martin's full-court pressure was easily got rid of by Yiyang! Yiyang rushed up the speed again, and once he did, the Buckeye team could only accept the fate of losing points.

I saw that the Butler University No. 1 wearing a black away jersey plunged headlong into the inside line of the strong man, and he was not afraid of any block, jumped high, and prepared to make a layup.

There is no doubt that Yiyang, who weighs a little lighter, was directly knocked out by the opponent's center. But the referee on duty also showed no mercy for another foul from Ohio State.

Creating killing, this is the real purpose of Yiyang's breakthrough this time. The No. 1 defender didn't wait for his teammates to step forward to help, and stood up with a gentle support.

Under the strong boos of the fans, Yiyang picked up the basketball and spun it around in the center of his palm, shot steadily, and hit the free throw.

When Yiyang's second free throw also fell into the net, Ohio State Buckeyes coach Nate Brown. Martin stumbled back to the bench.

At that moment, 14 points behind, he knew that the game was over. That "inconspicuous" Asian defender has become a sharp knife that pierces the heart of the Buckeyes team!

In two minutes, Yiyang tortured the players and fans of the Buckeyes for two minutes with his rapid breakthrough. Stevens did as he was supposed to do and replaced Yiyang two minutes later. But by then, Butler had already achieved a huge margin of 18 points.

In the second half, the demoralized Buckeyes didn't play the offensive climax that fans were expecting. The whole team is only relying on Evan. Turner struggled to support himself.

And the Bulldogs, under the organization of Yiyang, always get the opportunity to score easily. Shervin. Mark and Gordon. The two Haywards benefited the most, combining for 44 points with a lot of simple open shots. Of course, Yiyang also got a "reward" of 10 assists for this.

With three and a half minutes to go, Stevens laughed and replaced all the main players. And in the stands of the stadium, less than a third of the fans are still holding on.

Evan. Turner was also pressed to the bench at this time, which means that Nate is also on the bench. Martin officially raised the white flag and surrendered.

Yiyang leaned lightly on the bench while the rest of the bulldogs chatted with each other. The Bulldogs ended the battle early in two consecutive games, which undoubtedly surprised the commentators and detectives.

This team, which only barely made it to March Madness last season, has been able to bring Evan Brown this season. Turner pressed on the ground and rubbed. Such a large improvement is really staggering.

I believe that after tonight, the general managers of many NBA teams will get a name they have never heard of, Yiyang!

That expressionless teenager may not know that professional basketball, which seems to be out of reach, has begun to take the initiative to approach him.
