Chapter 11: The First Side Quest
The sensation caused by the fat man has just begun!
The day after the game, the front pages of major sports media in the United States were full of Yang Yi's feat, and the picture was the scene of Yang Yi being surrounded by countless young fans. Even the Chicago Tribune, which has always been known for its seriousness and only reports on national politics, mentioned Yang Yi's feat!
The fat man is famous again, and this is the third time that his fame has spread throughout the United States. The first was when a video of a rebounding basket was widely circulated on YouTube, the second was a shocking five-double in the NCAA Finals, and the third was the first game of the new season. In this game, he scored a game-high 54 points, and made 16 of 21 three-pointers, setting a single-game three-point shooting record.
But these fame have not been translated into real profits, and there is still no merchant asking the fat man to endorse or anything, and he is now sleeping in the house he bought not far from the stadium!
Although he bought a physical recovery potion for yesterday's game, the fat man felt more tired after using it. This potion seems to be able to advance physical reserves, rather than real instant recovery, which is a bit of a trick!
When Yang woke up, there were already more than a dozen missed calls on his phone, including his parents', Su Ling's, Trey's, Xiao Yafang's, and his teammates and coaches in Kentucky. Don't think about it, most of them must have called to congratulate him on his first win of the new season, and Xiao Yafang may have a commercial endorsement.
Yang washed up together before dialing the phone one by one, thanking everyone for their concern. In the end, when it was Xiao Yafang's turn, the fat man sighed a little, this Su Ling's cousin has nothing to say about her professionalism, and she is busy with his affairs all day long, although she doesn't know what she is busy with.
"What, please ask me to endorse the panties, is there a mistake, what is the specific reason? Accurate shot? What a reason for this! The fat man was a little speechless, and the first person to ask himself to endorse was a panty brand, and the reason was even more strange - accurate shooting.
"How much?"
"A million dollars a year."
"So little, that's a fart!" The fat man's face is a little unsightly, and he wants to endorse himself for a million, is this a call for Hanako?
"A million is a lot, and the endorsements of other stars in this regard are basically this price." Xiao Yafang's voice came from the phone.
"Okay, you can just watch it, but don't accept the endorsements of those small brands in the future, and watch the money be less troublesome. Oh yes, are there any sneaker brands that I've been asked to endorse, like Adidas and Nike? ”
"Not yet."
"Oh, well!" Before the fat man could finish speaking, he heard the busy tone of the phone. What's the matter, Su Ling's cousin is a little arrogant, does she have such a way to her boss?
After hanging up the phone, Yang Yi's mind flew to the game again, yesterday's performance was indeed against the sky, shooting 16 of 21 three-pointers, breaking the three-point record set by Kobe Bryant. But the three-point shot can't be so accurate every game, and the first game may have a systematic bonus. There are still a little little offensive means, and I don't know anything about the distribution of physical fitness, but I am a single-core leader, if other teams have figured out their own style of play, and each time they send a defensive warrior to mark themselves all over the court, and then others come to help defend, then their crushing style of play will not be able to play a role.
I'll have to train myself on some offensive means, and it seems that I'll have to hire a trainer to train specially, but it will cost a lot of money. It hurts a little to think about it, and the money in my pocket is about to leave before it is hot!
……
After the game against the Spurs, there will be two back-to-back games, the Jazz and the Bulls. Among them, No. 3 played the Jazz away, and No. 4 played the Bulls at home. Running back and forth, and the time is intensive, which tests the physical reserves of the fat man and the entire Hornets team. However, the new season has just begun, and everyone's fitness is fine, so they can give it a go.
The Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Hornets are in the same Western Division, but the Hornets are in the Southwest Division of the Western Division, while the Utah Jazz are in the Northwest Division.
Compared to the Hornets' single-core lineup, the Jazz can be described as full of talent: Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Marvin Williams, Gordon Hayward, Randy Foye. Although Millsap has not yet been crowned a god, there is no miracle of 28 seconds and 11 minutes, and Gordon Hayward has not yet transformed into a white-faced killer, they are really much stronger than the Hornets lineup.
November 3rd, Jazz home arena, Energy Solutions Arena.
Al Jefferson easily jumped the ball to Randy Foye, who carried the ball forward.
Compared to the Spurs, the Jazz have much weaker control over the pace of the game.
After Dribbling past half court, Foye passed the ball directly to Hayward, who jumped up and dipped straight away, ignoring Eric Gordon in front of him. Gordon reached out to interfere with Hayward's shot, the ball slid out of the basket after two laps on the basket, Robin Lopez didn't grab the rebound under the sandwich of Jefferson and Millsap, but Hayward picked up the ball from the three-man and got the rebound.
Instead of continuing the offense, Hayward passed to Marvin Williams in the open spot. Williams received the ball and threw it, hitting the mid-range shot steadily.
2:0, the Jazz led the Hornets to score first after the opening.
Offense and defense switched, the Hornets served from the bottom line, and Yang Yi attacked with the ball. After the fat man's three-point shot in the last game, the Jazz have been guarding his three-pointers. And Randy Foye is even more inseparably in front of the fat man.
Yang Yi pretended to break through to the left, but unfortunately the action was too fake, and Foye was unmoved, if it weren't for the fat man's big hand guarding the ball all the time, Foye would have taken the ball away.
Break through some pits! The fat man lamented in his heart, it's better to save more glory points to buy a Deron Williams or Byron Davis breakthrough card, and he is not a big C or PF, so he can't start playing near the three-point line every time he breaks through, so don't you be laughed at by people! The fat man shuddered at the thought of this picture!
"Ding, System Side Quest Activated: Successfully Break Through Randy Foye Ten Times!"
Yang was excited in an instant, 2 glory points! Ten times! He said silently in his heart.
However, depending on the situation in front of you, you have to outwit it, otherwise you will definitely be robbed of your own three axes. Thinking about it, he passed the ball to Eric Gordon, who came to pick up, and then ran himself.
Yang Yi did not organize the attack himself, but took Fuye to run around on the court, and where there were many people. As a result, both teams' offense and defense were messed up by them. Seeing that the twenty-four-second offensive time had entered the countdown stage, the fat man ran out of the empty space.
When Yang received a pass from Ryan Anderson outside the three-point line, there were three seconds left on the clock. The fat man sank down and made a three-point shot, and Foye flew to block. But the fat man immediately broke through from Feye's side after a false shot, and when there was a second left, he made a quick stop jump shot and hit 2 points steadily, and the two sides were 2:2, deuced!
