Chapter Thirty-Six: The Young Star
"Ahh Yiyang stood in the middle of the court and raised his arms and roared!
"Ahh And in response to Yiyang, it was a huge roar of thousands of people gathered in the stands!
Almost all the pit bulls fans wearing blue short sleeves, regardless of men, women and children, followed Yiyang and raised their arms, exuding the long-suppressed power in their hearts!
"You're fucking damned! Stealing all the limelight from us! "Shervin. Mark swore and lunged at Yiyang, who had his arms raised. The captain of the pit bull team hugged Yiyang tightly, and he knew very well that if it weren't for this guy, the pit bulls might have gone home.
This No. 1 jersey, which represents the No. 1 jersey, was really not given to the wrong person at the beginning!
Gordon. Hayward jumped to his feet and onto Yiyang's back. The white small forward laughed as if he had been given candy.
Although in the first half, Hayward's performance was very poor. But in the second half, under the tandem of Yiyang, Hayward gradually regained the feeling of the game.
He knew that it was not only the feeling of recovery that led him to victory, but also Yiyang's hard work on the court, which completely infected Hayward.
His two consecutive three-pointers were key to the Bulldogs' ability to pull the score. The key to Hayward's bottoming out is Yiyang.
Since then, more and more people have surrounded Yiyang, and the Asian defender has now become the center of the bulldogs.
In the stands, the fans who were still unsatisfied were still cheering for Yiyang. Star forward Wesley. Johnson? Veteran handsome Jim. Boheim? No one cares about the two of them, at this moment, the biggest star is Yiyang!
On the big screen at the scene, the highlights of Yiyang's game are still being played over and over again. Today, Yiyang's brilliance isn't just about passing. When Hayward can't score, he can also carry the scoring load and attack for the team.
At this moment, countless NBA scouts in suits have dialed their general manager's phone. "I've got a surprise for you, it's up to you to choose whether you want to get him or not!"
After a wild celebration, the Bulldogs players began to slowly walk towards the players' tunnel. Stevens had been standing on the sidelines, waiting for Yiyang, who had reverted to his usual cold appearance after an outburst.
"You're doing great!" Stevens stretched out his hand and hugged Yiyang tightly.
"Thank you for trusting me." Yiyang whispered in Stevens' ear, speaking without any intonation.
Yiyang knew that if Stevens hadn't chosen to use himself to shoulder the heavy responsibility in this game, maybe he wouldn't have gotten so many opportunities to perform at all. And his own suggestion to Stevens that he only rest for three minutes in the second half of the game was also adopted. If Stevens had gone his own way, the outcome might have been completely different.
Yiyang likes the feeling of being trusted by others very much, because trust means that a person sincerely accepts you. For Yiyang, who was ostracized all year round as a child, this experience is quite precious.
Stevens patted Yiyang's shoulder with relief, since he knew this child until now, he had only heard Yiyang say thank you twice. This word will not be easily said by Yiyang, but when he says it, it means that this child is really grateful to you.
Subsequently, Yiyang was inundated with a large number of reporters. Stevens, on the other hand, was squeezed outside by the crowd.
Looking at Yiyang, who was surrounded by reporters, Stevens waved his fist excitedly. What could be more enjoyable than being a coach and watching a young player thrive in his own hands?
Gordon. Hayward, Shervin. Mark, Matt. Howard...... Now, Stevens has another Yiyang in his hands. This guy, he doesn't know if he's really God's favorite, because there are always a lot of good guys playing under him.
Stevens knows that with such a lineup. This year, the Bulldogs' championship dream will no longer be just a dream!
The young marshal looked at Yiyang, who was overwhelmed by the crowd, silently left the court, and disappeared at the entrance of the players' tunnel. Today, let's leave this stadium to Yiyang completely. Today, Yiyang is the master of the basketball court!
※※※
Since the March Madness Tournament entered its second stage, the attention has been increasing. The Sweet Round of 16, the degree of attention of this kind of game, in the United States, can be said to be no worse than the NBA.
Basketball fans are no longer talking about Kobe Bryant and James, but about the schools that have advanced to the "elite quarterfinals" and the star players of those schools.
Yiyang is undoubtedly a topic that can never be avoided in the discussion about the NCAA.
Now, the only eight NCAA teams that remain, their head coaches must have a full player report in their hands. Yiyang is now the opponent that every coach must go to, and his appearance can definitely allow the Bulldogs to play any incredible results in the tournament.
In China, Yiyang's popularity is also rising. In the last game, he scored 22 points, 13 assists and 3 steals to lead the team to eliminate Syracuse University, and the video has been rumored crazy in China. It was the first time that most Chinese fans discovered that Chinese guards can also be lightning fast on the basketball court! And Yiyang's position change on the draft prediction ranking in the future will definitely affect the hearts of thousands of people.
There are even rumors that the Chinese Basketball Association has quietly sent an inspection team to recruit this "born" talented guard into its command.
For Yiyang, his life has naturally been greatly affected by his fame.
Now, whether he is taking classes or training on his own, he always meets several reporters and asks all kinds of questions on the way.
"Do you speak Chinese?"
Yiyang rolled his eyes at the reporter who asked the question.
"If you don't make the cut, will you choose to play in the CBA league?"
After listening to another reporter's question, Yiyang suddenly felt that the question of whether he could speak Chinese did not seem so retarded.
"Hello, I'm Mougins, a reporter for Basketball magazine. I'd like to do a one-on-one interview with you on behalf of the magazine and the Chinese fans, and feel free to contact me if you can. Mougins pushed aside the crowd, squeezed in front of Yiyang, and handed out his business card.
This reporter, who is different from the others, has attracted Yiyang's attention. Yiyang slowly took the business card and looked at the name and phone number on it.
Yiyang didn't speak, but nodded lightly to Mougin. After that, he squeezed out and headed for the basketball court.
"Stinky boy! Drag what!? Seeing that Yiyang left in a hurry without answering any questions, some reporters began to whisper in private.
"It's just, this hasn't played in the NBA yet, it's so spirited. In the future, I played professional basketball, and I got it! ”
Mougins looked at the reporters who were complaining in low voices, but did not participate in the discussion.
He knows that Yiyang is just not ready to become a star. This guy just wants to put all his mind on basketball.
Give him some space, this time in college may be the last quiet days of Yiyang.
Every day after that, this poor boy from Wood had to live in the spotlight.
This kid is still far from mature......
