Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Fatal Blow

"Lightning! Lightning! Lightning! Lightning! ......" The fans of the entire stadium are shouting the word lightning neatly and regularly.

The scene was completely boiling, and even the commentators with headphones in the commentary seat were infected by this deafening shout.

The camera footage on the scene immediately gave Yiyang a close-up, and the Asian defender didn't have any smile on his face, even though he had just completed a beautiful one-on-one fast attack.

Cold, this is what the fans in front of the TV say about Yiyang. Even though the scene is already in full swing, Yiyang still looks cold.

However, it is precisely because of Yiyang's characteristics that he is so terrifying! As an NCAA first-year rookie, he can weave through the opposing defense and make layups under the blocks of two of the Longhorns' leading stars. Without a calm heart, it would have been impossible to do this.

Mike. James and Bradley looked at each other, still unable to believe that the Asian could pull off such a beautiful attack on both of them.

On the big screen, the picture of Yiyang just making a fast-break pull-up layup has begun to be replayed, and Yiyang himself looked up. No one noticed that the corners of the No. 1 defender's mouth were slightly upturned.

After being scored such a goal by Yiyang, the Longhorns are already 9 points behind the Bulldogs. And the worst thing is that the self-confidence of the players at the University of Texas is about to collapse because of Yiyang.

Bradley is arguably one of the best defensive guards in the entire NCAA league, and if there is nothing he can do about it, then there is nothing anyone else can do.

Sometimes, it takes a whole offensive climax to deliver a devastating blow to the opponent. But sometimes, all it takes is a fatal blow!

Yiyang's layup was worth far more than two points, and the inner turmoil of the Longhorns players will keep them off track more and more.

After an attack, Bradley was eager to use a score to clear his name and save face for the team. However, young people are always too impatient, and Bradley, who is also a first-year student, pressed Yiyang and rushed into the restricted area, only to be beaten by Matt, who had been waiting under the basket for a long time. Howard made an offensive foul.

With the ball switching again, the Bulldogs now have a chance to extend the margin to double digits.

Yiyang approached step by step with the ball, and the heartbeat of the Longhorns players became faster and faster.

This time, Yiyang did not call for blocking, but suddenly started directly, as if he was planning to rely on speed to hard wipe Bradley.

Bradley, who was already exhausted, moved sideways a second slower, and in this second, Yiyang really broke through.

When Yiyang plunged into the penalty area, Reggie, who was sitting in the commentary seat. Miller could see that the entire Longhorn Bulls' defense was shrinking towards Yiyang.

Yiyang is surrounded by longhorn players in orange jerseys, and it looks like the long-driving defender has been cornered.

But Yiyang didn't plan to end the offense by himself at all, don't forget, this guy's favorite thing to do on the basketball court is to pass the ball! Although Yiyang has found the feeling of scoring through several attacks, he never shoots blindly.

Yiyang suddenly hit the ground with a pass, and the basketball from Mike. The wooden floor between James and Pitman bounced off.

Everyone hurriedly turned around, but they all gasped. In the bottom left corner, Gordon. Hayward was in the right place. It's almost impossible for this pit bulls team's top scorer to waste this open shot!

Mike. James just ran away, hoping to interfere with Hayward's shooting as much as possible. However, it was too late. Yiyang's wonderful pass allowed Hayward to shoot directly and comfortably without even adjusting. When Mike. By the time James raised his arms and leaped high, the basketball was already flying into the air.

Rick. Barneys stared at the spinning basketball, how he wished it would come out of the frame. Because if the point difference on the field is widened to 10 points, Barnes' job will be very difficult to carry out.

The basketball first hit the side of the basket, and then bounced vertically upwards. Pitman and Matt engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle under the basket, and both sides wanted to get the ball in the crucial round.

However, the basketball that bounced back into the air fell directly into the net. At 32-44, the University of Texas Longhorns officially trailed Butler University by 12 points!

Hayward happily raised his hands and made a "3" gesture. After that, he pointed at Yiyang and nodded lightly to the latter in thanks.

Yiyang's wonderful tandem finally gave Hayward, who had been silent for a long time, a chance to raise his eyebrows.

The first half was just two minutes away, and the Longhorns were 12 points behind. The worst thing is that the main forces under Barnes are already tired. Barnice's only option was to send a substitute on the pitch.

Stevens, for his side, also made all five substitutions. Now that the team is far ahead, Stevens can safely use the rotation.

But under the leadership of Yiyang's substitute Norrid, the second team of the Bulldogs played quite well. At the end of the half, the difference between the two sides was stretched to 17 points!

After returning to the locker room at halftime, everyone joked with Yiyang. There is no doubt that his magical one-dragon fast attack has also impressed his teammates.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Although the game was played at the Neutral Arena, there is no doubt that it has now effectively become the home of Butler University. Because as soon as Yiyang got the ball in the second half, the fans shouted wildly.

This is Mike. James' breakaway layup was interfered with by Hayward. Yiyang grabbed the defensive rebound, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became different.

In the "escort" of the fans, Bradley has gone from a defensive titan to a defensive hole. The zero defender worked very hard, but he couldn't find a way to limit Yiyang.

A player who can shoot and pass and keep his mind clear at all times is the most difficult to guard. Because it's not a matter of individual defense, once this kind of guard is really opened, it will be a whole team that is activated!

At the beginning of the second half, Yiyang did not continue his scoring journey, but did his job as a point guard.

As for why this is happening, it was all Stevens' arrangement. As long as the team can control the situation at the beginning of the second half, then the University of Texas will not be able to make any more waves.

Yi's passing path was very clear, he gave the ball to Hayward first, and Hayward duffled a shot to the basket. And then there was Shervin. Mark! Mark received a pass from Hayward at the free-throw line and scored two more points with a light shot! Although it is not a direct assist from Yi, it can also reflect the tactics arranged by the manager. That's enough for a number one! ”

"Steal Pitman too! Why is Coach Barneys still on the field with Pitman? This guy completely messes up the situation on the field! ”

"From Yi and Shervin. Mark's aerial tie! BOOM, domineering dunk! Shervin. Mark is truly powerful! ”

Yiyang's name became Reggie. One of Miller's most common words. And the fighting spirit of the University of Texas is also getting dimmer and dimmer like dying fireworks.

In the fifth minute of the second half, Bradley and others no longer had the strength to break through. But in order to be able to bite the 10-point difference, the University of Texas had to attack again.

So, they chose a way they were not good at fighting - shooting.

At the beginning, Bradley managed to hit a three-pointer on Yiyang's head. Everyone seemed to see hope in that moment, even Barneys thought so.

However, that three-pointer became Bradley's only three-pointer of the game. In the games that followed, neither Bradley nor Mike. James, whose shortcomings in shooting are extremely poor, are exposed.

Stevens still practiced the principle of letting go of the shot, and in the face of a large number of empty spots, the University of Texas was stunned to throw the ball in.

Hopes of victory, for the University of Texas, seem to be getting slimmer......

※※※

Bradley dribbled the ball tiredly, he looked up at the score and time on the big screen on the scene, and the already small amount of strength seemed to be drained in an instant.

In front of Bradley, there is Yiyang, who has become famous in a fight. Stevens has already changed to the bench lineup, but only Yiyang, the starter, is still on the field. With him, the young young marshal of the Bulldogs won't worry about the University of Texas turning the tables.

Bradley was once described by ESPN as a guard at the same level as Wall when he was in high school, and this round-headed, round-eyed guy doesn't know what made him the embarrassed person he is now.

In fact, Bradley's 16 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 block today are not bad, and Yiyang only scored 14 points under Bradley's defense.

But judging from the performance on the field, Yiyang really got rid of Bradley several streets.

Bradley shook his head, now was not the time to think about it. This offense will determine whether the Longhorns have any hope. If it scores, the difference is only 7 points, and the game can continue. If you miss, the game goes into garbage time 50 seconds early.

Bradley couldn't help but increase the frequency of his dribbling, and Yiyang, who was thinking while retreating, knew that this zero was going to burst!

Bradley lunged forward, his muscular body seemingly able to knock a slightly emaciated Yiyang out of the air.

Yiyang didn't force the block, but followed Bradley's side to drag the offensive footsteps of the zero defender.

Bradley suddenly made a sharp stop, and Yiyang was pulled away in an instant!

The zero guard, who was eager to counterattack, shot directly after retreating, and in the process of lifting the basketball, Yiyang saw the opportunity and slapped the basketball in Bradley's hand hard!

The basketball was taken off, and Yiyang hurriedly went up to pick up the basketball and then quickly advanced.

After landing on the ground, the exhausted Bradley suddenly weakened his legs and fell to the ground.

He missed the most important attack because of the Asian defender, and missing this attack means ......

"Let's congratulate the Butler University Bulldogs for advancing to the round of 32 of the NCAA March Madness Tournament!" Reggie. Miller's voice even reached the arena, and Bradley, who was sitting on the ground, closed his eyes tightly. An unwilling tear was squeezed out of the corner of his eye.

For him, it's over!
