Stephensky looked out the window with a sad face in his office, the city of Philadelphia has been on the verge of displacement for several years.

Pedestrians and cars on the street are in a hurry. But for some reason, Stephensky just felt that the whole city was dead.

Since Aaron. After Iverson left Philadelphia, the 76ers fell into a complete slump. Although they still have Andrei, who is known as the "little AI". Iguodala, but it turns out that Iguodala alone alone will not be able to get the 76ers on the road to revival.

Now, the 76ers have lost eight in a row, and the hope of the playoffs seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer. As the new general manager of the 76ers, Stephenski is tasked with rebuilding a team!

Just now, Stefansky had just met with Aaron. Iverson is negotiable. If nothing else, the AI will be able to return to Philadelphia within a week! Stephanski's reintroduction of Iverson to the 76ers will undoubtedly soothe the hearts of fans.

But everyone knows that the current 76ers team cannot rely on the aging Iverson to set sail again.

What the 76ers really need is not AI, but a fresh blood that can take the team out of the woods.

Just then, there was a sharp knock on Stephensky's office door. The former Nets general manager straightened his suit, sat back behind his desk, and cleared his throat. "Please come in!"

The door was pushed open as soon as it came, and it was none other than the 76ers' scout in charge of the NCAA, Sam. Jones.

"Boss! NEW! Jones held a report and walked briskly over to Stephensky.

"What's wrong? Evan. Turner and John. Did Wall come up with any rebellious performance? Those two names Stephenski said are exactly the two rookies the 76ers are most eager to get this summer.

"No, no, no, yes. He has just officially announced that he will participate in this year's NBA Draft! This is also a detailed player report, which I think will be of interest to you! Jones knew the 76ers had been hungry for a point guard to take over Iverson's mantle. Now, a point guard with a lot of potential is another possible option.

Stephansky looked at Jones and picked up the player report. Yiyang's reputation has been quite impressive in recent months, and even he, an NBA-level general manager, has heard of it.

At the same time, in the general manager offices of NBA teams in major cities, countless scouts handed Yiyang's scouting reports to their managers.

Some managers don't bother with it, while others study it seriously. In short, the impact of Yiyang's announcement that he is about to participate in the draft is undoubtedly much greater than he thought!

Many scouts have actually prepared his report for a long time, just waiting for Yiyang to announce his participation in the draft.

This yellow-skinned boy didn't know that he had already become the focus of several NBA teams.

※※※

Yiyang, who had just announced the news to the reporters, was not uneasy, but quickly entered the training state after sending the reporters away.

"Nervous? In the future, your every move will be carried out under the magnifying glass of the scouts. Every shot you make and every miss will determine your final draft pick. Stevens walked to Yiyang's side with concern, not everyone had the courage to announce their participation in the draft before their freshman year was over. Even Hayward, known as the "No. 1 white small forward," only dared to try this year. And Shervin, who is already a junior. Mark, on the other hand, decided to participate in the draft next year.

"Don't be nervous, just fight like you normally." With the last experience of spending Christmas together, Yiyang is now less cold to Stevens. Of course, it's far from passionate.

"Tomorrow we're going to have to face Purdue, their leading point guard, Amon. Johnson is also a defender known for his speed. You have to be careful, you can't announce that you will be a bad performer in the first game after participating in the draft! ”

"Is he faster than Wall?" After Stevens finished speaking, Yiyang, who was practicing dribbling, raised his head and asked.

Stevens was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Yes, Yiyang is a person who can talk to John. Wall's level of player against the guy. Amon. Johnson, unsurprisingly, won't cause the Bulldogs and Yiyang any trouble at all.

The next day, Singhal Arena sat without absence. Countless Butler University fans in blue short-sleeved shirts poured into the stadium to cheer on Yiyang and Hayward, who announced their participation in the draft at the same time.

Amon. Johnson, although not as well-known as Yiyang and Hayward, is also one of the NBA's rookies to be drafted this year. If you can successfully take out the Bulldogs, presumably Amun. Johnson's order will skyrocket!

However, the game has only just begun. Johnson was deflated. He was ready to put pressure on Yiyang from the first attack, and he relied too much on his strong body.

There is indeed no shortage of options for Yiyang, who has a weak ability to fight with his body, but Yiyang's accurate steals also make this style of play take a lot of risks.

Amon. Anderson started with the ball and leaned on Yiyang, but before he could speed up, the basketball in his hand suddenly went out of control!

Before he could react to what was happening, Amon. Anderson felt a whirlwind blowing, and Yiyang had already picked up the basketball and began to push forward!

At the same time, Gordon. Hayward also raced, and the white small forward showed the world how fast he was in keeping with his skin color.

Yiyang didn't look back, he directly threw the basketball to the rebound.

After the basketball hit the rebound, it quickly rebounded, and Hayward, who was following him, slammed into the basketball with both hands, and all that was left was the painful "moaning" of the basket and the deafening cheers of the fans!

"Haha! How do you know I'm behind! Hayward happily slapped Yiyang on the chest, and Yiyang just smiled at Hayward.

This guy is smiling more and more often in the pit bulls.

"At the beginning, Yihe and Hayward gave us an exhibition game-like air relay. Amon. Johnson shouldn't be so reckless, once he makes a mistake, there is no chance of recovery! Because he is one of the most proficient guards in the NCAA who can play transition offense! The narrator adjusted his sitting position, and a wonderful performance has begun.

After a goal, Amun. Johnson no longer dared to force Yiyang. Yiyang's "claws" seem to surround Johnson all the time.

As soon as the game started, Yiyang made Purdue's leading point guard lose his confidence. After that, it was a smooth ride.

Although he is strong and very fast, Amun. Johnson didn't take advantage of the defensive end.

Yiyang's pass made the entire Purdue University unguardable, and his elusive layup also prevented Johnson from playing to his advantage.

The whole game can be said to be a performance specially set up for Yiyang and Hayward to announce their participation in the draft. Through this performance, Yiyang and Hayward told the world loudly. "NBA, here we come!"

68-83, the first game after the Christmas break, the Bulldogs continued to maintain the winning momentum. The fans at the scene shouted frantically, the era of the rise of Butler University has finally arrived!

After the game, Amun. Johnson was the first to walk back into the tunnel with his head down. He is also a player who is ready to participate in this year's draft, but the huge gap between him and Yiyang and Hayward has made the black guard almost lose his confidence.

With 20 shots, 10 points, 3 assists and 4 turnovers. What Johnson showed to the scouts. 15 points, 11 assists, 3 steals, and only 2 turnovers, this is a surprise that Yiyang brings to everyone! The gap between the two is as obvious as the data.

Fast forward to 2010, when NBA teams are going to start fighting for playoff spots. And the NCAA teams have to start doing their best for the March Madness tournament.

The Bulldogs, who are currently ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten League, will definitely get an invitation to the tournament with little suspense. But the opponents of the Bulldogs will get even crazier.

In the first game of January, the Bulldogs take on the University of Maryland, which is currently ranked fourth. Fourth place is a very awkward position, and they can neither guarantee that they will be shortlisted, nor will they completely lose hope of being shortlisted for March Madness.

Such a team is hungry to win every game. Such a team is often the most combative!

Yiyang obviously felt that the intensity of today's game was completely different from before. He has been overturned by opposing players countless times, and even some fouls were maliciously. The closer we get to March Madness, the harder the competition will be for Yiyang.

But Yiyang is not afraid, and the tenacity he has developed in the Wood District has made Yiyang have an unexpected performance in the face of high-intensity games.

The high-intensity competition at the University of Maryland put the Bulldogs in jeopardy, but in the last minute of the game, Yiyang hit the only shot from beyond the three-point line. After that, he assisted Matt. Howard came up with a surprise aerial relay layup that killed the game completely!

72 to 77, the five-point shot created by Yiyang became the last straw that crushed Maryland.

With 16 points and 9 assists, Yiyang's data in this game is still beautiful. In terms of draft pick prediction, Yiyang has also successfully climbed from the second round to the 20th pick in the first round. You know, Hayward's draft pick prediction is only the 18th pick in the first round!

Being able to finish in the top 20 out of hundreds of talented players who participated in the draft is already a remarkable achievement for a yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese.

In February, the Bulldogs experienced an unprecedented two-game losing streak. But that still couldn't stop Yiyang from killing the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a career-high 23 points in the final game.

In this game, Yiyang's shooting percentage of 3 of 4 from beyond the three-point line made Stevens jump up and down with joy. Of course, the Bulldogs also won the 2009-2010 NCAA Big Ten Conference championship with the help of Yiyang.

Yiyang, who stood on the stage with the championship trophy and received the cheers of 10,000 people, was racing and breathing rapidly. It turns out that the feeling of winning the championship is so beautiful!

The championship of a Big Ten league is actually insignificant. Every minor league in the NCAA has its own championship, but only the winner of the March Madness Tournament can represent true honor. But for Yiyang, who experienced this feeling for the first time, it was enough to make him happy for several days.

In the locker room, looking at the trophies placed on the ground, all the players and coaches of the Bulldogs team sat around.

"When the next game starts, we'll be in the middle of the NCAA March Madness Tournament! The game will be harder and harder, and the opponent will be stronger. We might run into Derek. Favors, Wesley. Johnson, Paul. George or even John. Wall! But we can't be afraid, we can't give up! We've got to keep winning and then ......," Stevens said, pausing deliberately.

"Climb to the top!" The players shouted so loudly that Stevens felt like he was going deaf.

It is worth mentioning that this time, the taciturn Yiyang also joined the ranks of shouting.

Yiyang, who has tasted the taste of a champion, seems to have another thing he wants to pursue in addition to money......
