Chapter 6: The Son of the Sun
For the black uncle's dream reminder, Sun Xiaotian rerealized that he should not use Maizi's talent to degenerate, he should have a higher goal, and should not indulge in that kind of gentleness.
Yale's next opponent is at home against Brown University, which is considered to be the belly of the Ivy League, and you should remember the opening 10 consecutive defeats last season. But for such a school, Sun Xiaotian believes that it is still necessary to actively prepare for the war, and must not have the idea of underestimating the enemy.
It's a game that has the potential to be a modest achievement for Yale, which has won three straight seasons for the first time since 1987. Such a result may be a joke for some traditional powerhouses, but for Yale, it is already a huge improvement.
After the first home game was deserted, the stadium with a capacity of more than 5,000 people was packed on the day of the game against Brown University, and they all wanted to see Sun Xiaotian in style. In addition to the influx of fans, the game also attracted local media in New Haven, who of course targeted Sun Xiaotian, the Eastern genius known as the Son of the Sun.
Before the start of the game, Heywood did not cheer the players on as he had before the game, but told the players very sincerely not to have psychological baggage, forget about the three-game winning streak, and enjoy the game wholeheartedly.
Sometimes I really admire the coaches in the United States, when should I make the players nervous? When is it time to relax? The timing is so good.
After the game began, in the frantic shouts of the fans, Yale University attacked the basket of Brown University in turn, as if it was playing an All-Star Game, causing the opponent to be completely powerless. Especially Sun Xiaotian, the rhythm is just right, scoring when it is time to score, assisting when it is time to assist, breaking through when it is time to break through, and shooting when it is time to shoot.
Under his leadership, the half was not over yet, and Yale was already leading the opponent by as many as 20 points. The fans were fascinated and swayed to the music played by the live DJ, like a carnival. At halftime, Yale University led Brown University by 29 points 66-37, and Sun Xiaotian scored 17 points and 8 assists on 7-of-9 shooting, like a superstar.
At half-time, everyone has never been happier than today. At this time, Sun Xiaotian began to fully understand the true meaning of what the black uncle said about basketball. That's really how basketball brings joy to everyone, look at the reaction of the fans, look at the smiles of their peers, all of that, the game of basketball brings them.
In the second half, the Yale bulldogs did not give their opponents any chance to fight back, and firmly controlled the rhythm of the court. Frequent steals, dazzling fast breaks, and bloody air relays make fans dizzying.
Regarding Sun Xiaotian's performance, the media reporters at the scene all watched it. Accurate three-pointers, powerful tomahawk slams, and wide passing vision, amazing physical fitness...... It's all been silently written into their drafts.
There is no suspense, Yale University slaughtered Brown University 121-91, Sun Xiaotian's performance was extremely eye-catching, 12 of 15 shots in the game, 28 points plus 12 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks, the data is extremely gorgeous.
After the game, the players went back to the dressing room to celebrate wildly, and it felt like they had won the championship. And just outside the locker room, a large group of media did not leave, and they were all negotiating with the school administrators in the hope of interviewing Sun Xiaotian. In response to such a request, in fact, the school is not prepared at all, and the reason is well known, no Yale player has ever enjoyed the treatment of being nominated for an interview.
……
In a simple office, Sun Xiaotian wears a loose T-shirt on top, a pair of "Made in China" jeans on the bottom, and a pair of classic Nike basketball shoes. On the other side of him, there are 7 or 8 media outlets, large and small, waiting for the interview to begin.
Facing the camera for the first time, Sun Xiaotian seemed a little uncomfortable, which could be seen from his smile.
"Where are you from?" The media began to ask questions.
"Shanghai, China."
"I heard where Yao Ming is also from! Have you met? ”
"I really like Yao Ming, and if I could meet him, I would really jump, but I haven't had a chance yet."
"You don't have any basketball experience before, but why did you do so well in the United States?"
"It's all because of Tracy."
The media at the scene were surprised, "Why is it because of him?" ”
"I idolized him, and he influenced me from a young age because I started to love basketball because of him, and it was because of him that I started to feel the joy that basketball brought me. I want to be him, and I want to bring the joy of basketball to everyone who loves basketball. But at this stage, I hope that Yale can go further and make it to the NCAA round of 64, and we have all been working hard. ”
……
I used to hear that Americans are good at public opinion propaganda, and a small incident can be hyped up. Sun Xiaotian is the same, the day after the interview, his huge personal competition photo appeared in the New Haven newspaper, and I don't know which reporter actually wrote his life in a similar way, it is simply amazing.
In addition to the newspapers, the sports news of various New Haven TV stations also broadcast footage of Sun Xiaotian's game. Some even invited experts to be guests to analyze Sun Xiaotian's performance in the past three games, and Sun Xiaotian was a little embarrassed.
In fact, it is no wonder that Sun Xiaotian averaged 21.7 points, 7.4 assists and 5 rebounds per game in three games. This kind of data is really worth writing about, not to mention that in such a place where there has been no basketball idol for a long time, it was created by a Chinese guy without any basketball background, so it has intensified the spread of this craze. Fortunately, Sun Xiaotian is not in New York, if he is in New York, he will definitely become Sun crazy.
As Sun Xiaotian's craze swept through New Haven City, his nickname of Son of the Sun slowly spread, in fact, he himself now doesn't know who gave him this nickname.
Although he has become famous, at least he is already known in this city. But Sun Xiaotian will always keep in mind the advice of the black uncle in his dream, and don't be carried away by fame. In fact, he was also afraid of the sense of loss after his skills were taken away by him, but more because Sun Xiaotian wanted to teach his love for basketball and Maizi's contribution to basketball to more people. At the same time, he felt that since it was the will of God, it became his responsibility, just like the missionary.
The Son of the Sun was born! A new record will be waiting for him to break it!
