Chapter 17: Gliding Buckles

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), founded in 1867, is a member of the Big Ten League in the United States and is one of the best engineering universities in the United States. Located in the twin cities of Urbana and Champagne in southern Illinois, USA.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's basketball team has a domineering name, the Warmongers, and the Remembrance Coliseum, home of the Warmongers, has a capacity of up to 70,000 and is one of the best stadiums in the NCAA league. Memorial Stadium regularly hosts Big Ten League football, basketball, handball and other tournaments, and has the most advanced equipment in the University League.

In the second week of the start month, the Wolves took the team bus to the University of Illinois Memorial Coliseum to take on the UIUC Warmongers.

Unlike most teams in the NBA, which belong to different states and players must rely on airplanes to play away from home, teams in the top 10 leagues are not far from each other, and they generally take the team bus directly to play away games.

The warmongers, like the Wolves, are tied for first place in the top 10 leagues with three straight wins, and today's game is also a battle for the top spot in the top 10 leagues.

In the visiting dressing room, the Wolverines players, who have won three in a row, are in high spirits and can't wait for a tough battle against the warmongers.

For tonight's opponent, Coach Tom also studied for a long time before making the pre-game arrangement: "Everyone knows that the core of the warmongers is the "Illinois Sanjie", and the core of the Sanjie is guard Di Brown, who has excellent physical fitness, is good at breaking through, and can also shoot three points on the outside, the disadvantage is that he is only 1.85 meters tall, Mark goes up and takes good care of him.

"Shooting guard Luther. Hyde shoots accurately, has good running and jumping ability, and has average ball control ability, so never give him a chance to shoot in the open space. Hyde was in charge of Claude. "Although in the last three games Ryan. Gomez played well, but Coach Tom trusted Claude more and wanted Gomez to go up and steal points as the sixth man.

"As for the rest of the warmongers, they weren't as threatening, and the focus was on limiting DeBrown and Rutherhead."

"Why don't you set up the defense Delon? Coach Tom is too confident. Sun Yue, who was still preparing to listen carefully to Coach Tom's arrangement for defending Delong, was stupid all of a sudden.

Coach Tom can't be blamed for this, Deron missed most of last season after a broken jaw in a game in December last season, and in DeLong's absence, the militants have remained in the top 20 in the country under the leadership of DeBrown and Rutherhead, and it's no wonder that Coach Tom doesn't take DeLong's threat seriously.

After the defensive end was arranged, Coach Tom laid out the offensive end tactics: "Skipper and Taft blocked at the top of the arc, Mark was cruising outside the three-point line ready to respond, Claude was ready to cut inside at any time, and Henderson paid attention to receiving the ball on the baseline and was ready to rush for rebounds." ”

After three games of observation, Coach Tom found that arranging the two strong points inside and outside - Sun Yue and Taft to block and pick and roll the offensive threat is the greatest, and the combination of appropriate three-point shooting and inside air cutting and inside strategy is the most threatening play on the offensive end of the current Wolverine.

“Let us fight!” Sun Yue took the lead and shouted. Sun Yue is now familiar with shouting slogans, of course, he has his own careful thoughts, which can help him establish prestige in the team.

“Fight!” The crowd responded.

It didn't take long for players from both sides to play, and the memorial stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 people, was actually full. The warmongers' excellent record over the past two years has helped them build a strong fan base, with many home fans in every warmongers match.

I have to say that the loyalty of NCAA fans to the home team is beyond the reach of many NBA fans.

The Wolverines were the first to play as the visitors, and the home fans in the memorial stadium gave the lads a kick down with their boos and cheers.

As the core of the team, Sun Yue was the last to play. The live announcer at the Memorial Stadium announced Sun Yue, a point guard from China; When the home team's fans saw a yellow man walk out of the players' tunnel; The deafening boos and cheers suddenly reached their maximum decibels, and the racism that had long been ingrained in their marrow made these proud Americans look down on any yellow person unless you have something that will make them jaw-dropping.

Sun Yue's calm face was already turbulent in his heart, because he heard people in the crowd shouting "chink, ching chong" and some people pulling their eyelids to laugh at Sun Yue, which was already a blatant insult and insult.

Chink and ching chong are the same as white people insulting black people as "niggers", which is an insulting term for Chinese people in the West. Pulling the eyelids is an allusion to the fact that Asians are "squinting eyes", which is a racist action.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the home announcer hurriedly let the home team players appear, so that the audience did not continue to insult and humiliate Sun Yue.

After the players of the two teams entered the field, they began to warm up on the field, and the familiar players greeted each other by the way.

Sun Yue also saw the face he had seen on TV in his previous life in the warmongers, opposite the point guard Delon. Williams.

??“ Hey, skipper. Delong took the initiative to walk in front of Sun Yue: "The behavior of those fans just now is really wrong, I apologize to you on their behalf." "There was so much movement from the visitors just now, and they could see it clearly in the players' tunnel.

"It's okay, I'll use my strength to tell them that they're wrong." Sun Yue's calm answer surprised Delong, he didn't expect this freshman guard to maintain such a mentality in this situation. The two did not communicate much, and after shaking hands, they each returned to their own half to continue warming up.

In this game, the three referees communicated today's penalty scale, and told the warm-up of the players of the two teams to end, and the game was about to start.

The starting lineup of the warmongers is: point guard DeLong. Williams; Scoring guard Dee. Brown; Small forward Luther. Hyde; Power forward Roger. Powell; Center James. Augustine.

At the start of the game, Taft easily defeated the opposing center forward on the jump ball, and the belligerents went on defense.

Sun Yue slowly dribbled the basketball to the front court, and he decided to give the best possible response to these abusive and humiliating spectators. He didn't call for a block according to the coach's arrangement, the shoulder on the side of the dribble shook slightly, and the somewhat careless Delon slowed down by half a beat, and quickly followed with a slight move of half a step.

Sun Yue took advantage of the situation to pull the ball, changed hands and changed direction to shake out a breakthrough space for himself, and used his more excellent explosiveness after rigorous training to break through Delong in one step. Delong, who had been broken through, hurriedly turned around and wanted to keep up with Sun Yue, but Sun Yue beside him bounced out like an arrow off the string.

Delong, who was moving slowly because of his weight, couldn't keep up with Sun Yue, who had accelerated, and he hurriedly called the players on the inside line to come over to help defend, but first, the game had just started, and the players were a little slow and not so focused, and secondly, he didn't expect Delong to be broken through so quickly by this Chinese point guard, and no one rushed to help defend for a while.

Sun Yue swept through the memorial stadium like a gust of wind, Sun Yue kicked hard in the penalty area and jumped high in the penalty area, and the basketball was brought to the highest point by the angry Sun Yue from the lowest point.

"Boom !!" smashed the basketball into the basket angrily with both hands, Sun Yue's calm and waveless face finally revealed a trace of hideousness, and the angry Sun Yue's gliding dunk seemed to smash the basket and the basketball court together.

The mouths of the audience were pulled to the maximum by this shocking dunk, and at this moment, all the insults and humiliations lost their voices.
