Chapter Twenty-Eight: Almost Fame

“3! 2! 1! ”

After the countdown of the fans, the electronic beep sounded loudly to represent the end of the game.~~~~~ The 40-minute battle between Butler University and the University of Texas finally came to an end. Miller couldn't help but stand up and cheer for the Bulldogs.

Obviously the game was played in a neutral arena, Reggie. Miller himself is just a neutral commentator. But at the moment, the whole stadium has long been conquered by the wonderful performance of the Bulldogs.

"62-71, the Butler University Bulldogs defeated a strong opponent in the first round of the March Madness Tournament, defeating the University of Texas led by Bradley by 9 points! While Bradley and the University of Texas have been very impressive this season, now, they are out of the tournament and they don't have a second chance to prove themselves! Audience friends, this is March Madness! "Reggie. Miller had to make a summary of this wonderful game, but after thinking about it, he felt that the name Yiyang was the best interpretation of this game.

Sure enough, TN. The director of T TV station immediately inserted the highlights of Yiyang's game. Through these shots, you can see most of the best moments of the game.

Yiyang's breakthroughs, dunks, layups, steals, assists...... Everything is mesmerizing and unforgettable.

A point guard who plays flashy but doesn't make many mistakes is not something you can see anywhere. Kentucky has Wall, and now Butler University fans can proudly announce that they own Yiyang!

At the end of the match, Stevens swung his fist hard. In the past few days, all the efforts and suppressed emotions have been fully released at this moment.

For the study of Bradley, for the study of Mike. James, in order to study the whole team of Longhorns, Stevens hasn't slept well these days. Even when he returned home, he spent most of his time studying the video footage.

This time, though, the Bulldogs weren't eliminated early. This time, everything Stevens did was worth it! Of course, there is another reason why he is so happy. That was the genius he stumbled upon last summer, and now, it must have become popular all over the United States!

"Good boy! You eclipsed Bradley! "On the basketball court, the captain of the bulldogs, Shervin. Mark yelled and hugged Yiyang.

"Hahaha, I knew you could pass the ball, great!" Hayward, who received the most assists from Yiyang, also joined the pack.

After that, more and more Bulldogs players surrounded him, and they hugged Yiyang, making the No. 1 point guard the focus of the court.

The photographer photographed the protagonist Yiyang in the gap of the crowd, and what was surprising was that this cold boy from the slum was actually grinning.

Who doesn't love the feeling of winning with teammates who like them?

Hayward, Mark, Matt. Howard...... The teammates of the Bulldogs are different from everyone Yiyang has met before, this group of guys really likes themselves. And Yiyang is also willing to work hard for such a collective.

And, of course, Brad. Stevens. This coach, who doesn't care about skin color and only cares about the strength of a player, actually respects him very much in his heart.

It's just that this boy, who likes to defend others more than get close to others since he was a child, doesn't know how to express his inner thoughts. Today's bright smile is Yiyang's way of expressing his love.

Just after the players of the Bulldogs team dispersed, Yiyang was stopped by an unfamiliar voice. He turned his head and saw that it was Avery . Bradley.

"Today you won, man. But we're not done yet! When I get to the NBA, I'll do my best to beat you! Bradley looked at Yiyang, who was celebrating and clenched his fists, Yiyang had already encountered a difficult opponent before he landed in the alliance.

Yiyang didn't speak, but smiled and waved at Bradley, then turned to leave. Your challenge, I accept!

At this time, countless reporters have rushed to the field, and the attention of March Madness is no less than that of the NBA.

Yiyang, as the most dazzling player in this game, coupled with his special skin color, this guy naturally fell into the circle of reporters in an instant.

Unlike in the past, today, in addition to local reporters in the United States, Yiyang also found some basketball reporters from China who have the same skin color as himself!

Since Li Ning Company forwarded Yiyang's game highlights to China, many domestic fans and media now know Yiyang's name. After Yiyang announced his participation in this year's NBA draft, his popularity soared.

In the past, it is not without Chinese players who have played in the NCAA. But most of them are just coming overseas to gild, and the draft is out of reach for them.

Yiyang is different, as long as you have a little relationship with the NBA, you will never lack attention in China. Now Yao Ming, who is plagued by injuries, is in a semi-retired state, and Yi Jianlian's Nets, which are at the bottom of the league, are also stop-and-go. On the world's highest level of basketball stage, there is indeed a lack of Chinese.

Therefore, when the domestic media heard that a Chinese who was about to participate in the draft was playing in the NCAA, they were like a group of sharks that smelled blood, swam to the United States on the other side of the ocean, and found Yiyang, the "prey".

"Yiyang! When did you come to the United States? ”

"Would you consider joining the national team?"

"Yiyang! Do you still have Chinese citizenship? ”

In an instant, several reporters asked Yiyang several questions in Chinese. At that moment, Yiyang was a little stunned. Because in this land, apart from his mother, he has almost forgotten what it is like to communicate with people in Chinese.

"I ...... I came to the U.S. very early on, and I studied in the U.S. Yiyang replied in a hesitant and interviewed in Chinese, which was the first time in Yiyang's life.

Although this is just a very ordinary question, the reporters from China are nervously recording it one by one. Every word Yiyang says now, when it reaches China, it will be big news!

Even Joe, who has a little Chinese ancestry. Alexander could have become the object of domestic hype back then, not to mention that now it is a real Chinese standing in front of the reporters!

"Yiyang! Hello, I'm Mougin, a reporter for China's Basketball magazine! At present, your draft pick prediction is really the 20th pick in the first round, do you think such a pick is in line with your strength? After that, a well-mannered man with glasses squeezed in front of Yiyang.

This reporter doesn't only know how to ask some non-nutritious questions like other peers, and his questions make Yiyang have a desire to answer.

"It's not easy to get to the top 20 out of so many good players, but I'm going to keep working hard and maybe change that number." Yiyang's cold expression when answering the question surprised Mu Ran a little.

If it were another Chinese kid talking about the NBA draft, he would be very excited. And Mu Ran was in Yiyang, but he saw a stability that did not match his age. Instead of getting carried away by making it to the first round, this guy wants to continue to improve his draft pick!

After all, Yiyang, who has been working hard in Wood District since he was a child, is definitely different from other children.

After that, Yiyang did not answer any of the reporters' questions. All he wants now is to get back to the locker room, call his mom and celebrate with his teammates.

Looking at Yiyang's back squeezing out, Mu Ran felt a little incredible. A Chinese guard can squeeze into the first round of the NBA draft. This kind of thing was unheard of before!

There are indeed a few big men in China who have played in the NBA, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian have both had great success. But this is the first time a guard with such a high draft pick!

How will this guy behave when he enters the NBA? Will his appearance change the status quo of Chinese basketball?

Mougins has a great interest in Yiyang, because this kid is either mediocre. Or, he will turn the world of basketball in China upside down!

The victory of a Crazy March tournament made Yiyang a real celebrity. But this No. 1 defender can't relax yet, and fame is not Yiyang's goal.

The ambition of the Bulldogs is more than just a win in a game.
