In the dormitory, Sun Xiaotian was lying on the bed, looking at his hands, how to look at how he felt that his palms were much bigger than before.

He was still immersed in yesterday's "victory", and after the absolutely awesome tomahawk dunk, he quietly walked out of the gymnasium, and the people who stayed there looked at his back. The moment he walked out of the gymnasium, Sun Xiaotian jumped up high, and his excitement was overflowing, God really favored him, and it seemed that he was going to church on Sunday.

Sun Xiaotian tried to recall what his black uncle said to him in his dream on the plane, he seemed to be saying that he was sorry for Maddie's talent, and he didn't want his talent to be wasted, so he wanted to find someone who could inherit Maddie's talent.

If this is the case, then you should cherish this gift and not fail God, but also not be sorry for the talent of your idol. Maizi, I love you!

But what about your current situation? Yale is a place for presidents and politicians, and it has never been a place for stars, especially basketball stars.

There was a knock on the door.

Sun Xiaotian opened the door and saw three people standing at the door, the one in front of him was probably in his fifties, chubby. The two men in the back were in their early thirties, both wearing glasses, tall and thin.

"Your name is Sun?"

"That's right! Who are you? Sun Xiaotian asked.

"We're on the varsity basketball team's coaching staff, can we get in?"

"Yes! Come in! Sun Xiaotian probably guessed something.

The three of them entered the room and sat down, and the leader began to introduce Sun Xiaotian.

"My name is Heywood, the coach of the team. This is Heichmanin, the team's assistant coach. This one is Graham Potter, the team's video analyst. ”

"Hello! My name is Sun Xiaotian and I am from Shanghai, China. Sun Xiaotian hurriedly introduced himself.

"I saw your performance yesterday, it was great and I wanted to invite you to join the team." Heywood said.

"But I'm here to study in business school, not to play!" Sun Xiaotian still has to pretend to be forced.

"That's right! Although Yale University is a famous university in the United States, it has produced many presidents, politicians, and lawyers, but it has never produced basketball stars. In the Ivy League, we've been competing with Harvard, in every way, and we're on top of each other in most areas. But in basketball, they were overwhelmingly ahead of us, especially during the four years of Jeremy Lin's existence, and they swallowed us alive every time they played. I want you to come in and be one of us, and I think we can beat Harvard and dominate the Ivy League. Heywood said something that was quite moving.

In fact, Sun Xiaotian has long wanted to join the team, not because he knows that he has the skills of Maizi, but because he loves basketball too much. Although his parents wanted him to go into business in the future and take over the family business. But he already has his own opinions, but he used to be in China, although he still didn't see his parents, but after all, he was close. This time, I crossed the ocean, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, my parents can't control it if they want to, and I can boldly pursue my basketball dream.

"Alright! I'm joining! ”

……

When choosing the jersey number, Sun Xiaotian originally wanted to choose the number 1, but this number belonged to the captain Joe. Although he humiliated Qiao, he was Chinese after all, and he still didn't like to be domineering. Therefore, Sun Xiaotian chose No. 35, which can be regarded as a tribute to his other idol Durant!

－－－－－－－－

In the first training session, Sun Xiaotian did not participate in joint training, but familiarized himself with the team's tactics with the assistant coach on the sidelines.

The team's current tactics are mainly designed against two people, center Gulot and scoring guard Joe. The tactic is the most popular high-post blocking and dismantling tactics nowadays, mainly using Joe's vision and Gulot's inside cut, coupled with an outside shooter, similar to the blocking and dismantling of Yao Mai's combination back then.

The coach told Sun Xiaotian to familiarize himself with the team's tactics as soon as possible, because the Ivy League is about to start a fierce battle in a week, and the first opponent is the University of Preston Wanderers. Once upon a time, Preston's offensive system was highly regarded by offensive coaches in the basketball world, and Adelman, the master of the familiar Preston's offensive system, started with it. The incessant cutting and dazzling passing of the ball have become the hallmark of Preston's attacking system.

But today's University of Princeton has nothing to do with that offensive system, and the decline of the team is somewhat embarrassing. However, compared to Yale University, the odds of winning against Princeton University are still not very good, and from the perspective of the two teams' battle history, Yale University is far behind Princeton University with 12 wins and 72 losses. Therefore, in this encounter, it seems that Yale's chances of winning are still not big.

After all, he is a newcomer, and the coaching staff decided to play Sun Xiaotian as a substitute, on the one hand, to stabilize the morale of the army, on the other hand, Sun Xiaotian has no regular game experience after all, and if he starts rashly, it may disrupt the team's tactics.

Regardless, Sun Xiaotian is ready and eagerly awaiting his debut on the court.

……

On the day of the game, the Yale Coliseum was sparsely populated, and there were not many spectators present, and most of the people who were present were the family and friends of the players, because it was not Duke and North Carolina after all.

After the cheerleading performance, the players of the home team entered, Sun Xiaotian walked in the penultimate entry, and when he walked into the court, I went! What an audience! Then the away players enter the field, and everyone on the away team has a look of disdain on their faces, which is disgusting to watch.

The local sports channel anchor was commenting off the field, and when they analyzed the players on both sides, they both mentioned Sun Xiaotian.

"I guess Yale bulldogs are studying at Harvard, right? Harvard has a Jeremy Lin, does Yale think that all yellow Americans are saviors? Look at this Sun Xiaotian, from Shanghai, China, who has no experience in high school before, it's unbelievable. ”

After the players warmed up, they went to the sidelines to listen to the coach's tactical plan, and coach Heywood reminded the players to watch out for the Princeton University Rover's Nos. 6 and No. 55. The outside core of the No. 6 team, who is also the team's scoring champion and assist leader last season, averaging 22.7 points and 5.6 assists per game, and No. 55 is the team's interior core, averaging 11 rebounds per game, including 3.4 offensive rebounds. So Yale's tactic is to protect the backcourt rebound, and at the same time double the No. 6 to cut off his connection with the interior as much as possible.

At the beginning of the game, Yale's strategy quickly worked, as long as the Preston University No. 6 got the ball, there would quickly be two or more players in the bag, resulting in five turnovers by Preston University shortly after the start of the first half, and Yale University took advantage of the opponent's mistakes to score 8 points on the fast break.

But as the game progressed, Princeton University slowly regained its rhythm by pausing deployment, reducing ball time, quick passing, and strong offense under the basket, and the score on the court was overtaken.

Seeing that the score was about to be pulled away, Haywood could no longer sit still and took the initiative to call a timeout.

During the timeout, he told his players to minimize mistakes and stick to the strategy of holding No. 6, while also asking the rest of the team on the field to run actively and not just stand and watch.

There is still no change in the players when they return to the field, how to shoot and lose in attack, how to defend and how not to defend. At halftime, Yale trailed by 11 points, 37-48.

After a break and adjustment between the halfs, as soon as the second half came back, Yale University beat a Preston University 8-0 attack wave, which rekindled the passion of the few spectators on the scene.

But again, after the opponent's timeout was actively adjusted, Princeton quickly turned the tide on the court, returning a 22-3 super attack wave to knock Yale's momentum down again. Princeton's point guard, the No. 6 player, had to eat and drink as he pleased, with just over seven minutes left in the second half, scoring 28 points and dishing out seven assists. Yale's point guard, meanwhile, had just seven points and three assists.

At the timeout, Heywood yelled.

"The opponent's No. 6 actually scored 28 points in less than 22 minutes of play, where is our defense?"

The players were confused, they all thought they had done their best, and as for the opposing point guard scoring so many points, it only showed that he had a surprisingly good hand.

'I'm going to make a change and we're 22 points behind, so it's going to be a fight. Grandchild! You're on! Heywood called out to Sun Xiaotian, who was sitting at the end of the player's seat.

Everyone is puzzled, could it be that the coach has reached the training time?

Sun Xiaotian also felt that suddenly, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, both happy and depressed. When I'm happy, because I can finally play, I'm depressed that I'm 22 points behind, it's almost garbage time, do you want me to go up and drop people?

There is no way, who makes the coach the biggest! And by this time, the commentator next to the stadium had already talked about what to eat for dinner! Come to think of it, the characters at the end of the bench are all on the field, it's not garbage time, what else can it be?

"Huh!" Three points in the bag! This was Sun Xiaotian's first point on the American court.

"Huh!" Another three-point bag!

"Don't say it, this guy feels so soft!" The narrator next to it said.

Preston University's No. 6 broke through with the ball, Sun Xiaotian hugged him tightly, he wanted to make a backhand layup, how could he be recognized by Sun Xiaotian early, Sun Xiaotian jumped up and was a big hat, and hit the ball directly in the hands of teammate Gulot. Yale University took the opportunity to launch a three-line fast attack, Gulott passed to Joe, Joe dribbled and advanced, and passed to Sun Xiaotian who followed up at the right time, Sun Xiaotian jumped high, it was a tomahawk split, which shook the bench at once, and everyone jumped up to cheer for Sun Xiaotian. When they turned around to defend, Sun Xiaotian and Qiao came to high-five, and the grievances between the two had been resolved at this time.

Sun Xiaotian's hand at this time was completely open, and the means of attack were abundant, which also attracted the praise of the commentator next to him. At the same time, the atmosphere of the scene was completely detonated by Sun Xiaotian, although there were not many audiences, everyone was immersed in cheers. In this way, under the leadership of Sun Xiaotian, Yale University stubbornly caught up with the score.

……

With 12 seconds left in the game, Princeton was just one point ahead of Yale, but the bad news was that Princeton had the ball. So, Yale needs to adopt foul tactics.

Preston University served the ball outside the court, No. 6 stepped forward to catch the ball, Sun Xiaotian hugged him tightly, and at the moment he received the ball, Sun Xiaotian's hand passed through No. 6's armpit and slapped the ball on his foot and popped off the court, Yale University's ball !!

“Yes!!!!” The Yale players got excited.

With 10 seconds left, Haywood decisively called a timeout and began to lay out his tactics.

Haywood wanted center Gulot to serve from the sidelines, and Joe came out around the baseline to catch the ball and shoot when he had the chance, because he hit the best from the bottom corner. If you don't have a chance, pass the ball and someone else will find another chance.

At the end of the timeout, Gulot served off the court, Joe desperately went around the baseline, and the other players covered him. Finally, Joe received the ball on the bottom line in the right corner, but the opponent had already judged Joe's intentions, at this time two players from Princeton University stepped forward and sandwiched Joe in the corner, seeing that he was about to make a mistake, he was quick and passed the ball to Gulot, who had just finished serving, and Gulott gave it to Sun Xiaotian of the top fox.

Sun Xiaotian originally wanted to pass the ball to Qiao according to the coach's intentions, but Qiao couldn't catch the ball at all at this time, besides, there was not enough time!

"6 seconds!"

"5 seconds!"

……

Sun Xiaotian could only come by himself, he accelerated and hit the three-point line, and at this time, the other opposing players around him pounced on him......

Sun Xiaotian saw that he was about to reach the paint area, and suddenly, he made an emergency stop, turned around after connecting with the spot, jumped high, and made a decisive move, and the red light just lit up.

"Huh!" Basketball goes to the net.

"Lore !!"
