As a newcomer in the first game, Sun Xiaotian immediately attracted the attention of Yale teachers and students and the local media, and the school board members also bluntly said that Yale University had a veritable Jeremy Lin II.

In less than 8 minutes of the first game, he scored 13 points, and there was a stunner, and in the opinion of coach Heywood, Sun Xiaotian's performance was perfect. And as a newcomer, there is no tension at all. On the contrary, Sun Xiaotian's performance made it seem as if he had been playing for several years.

The first win over Princeton University gave all the bulldogs a lot of confidence, but the challenge is coming, and they will next travel to Harvard University. Harvard's strength is unquestionable, as the strongest school in the Ivy League, it has reached the NCAA round of 64 under the leadership of Jeremy Lin. Therefore, its strength is far above that of Yale University.

Facing a strong opponent Harvard, coach Heywood has been studying the opponent for the past few days. As a coach who has only been in charge for less than a year, he can't afford to slack off, and the school has only given him a two-year contract, and if he can't dominate the Ivy League, he will roll out ugly when the contract expires. But in the first game just past, as a scout, he suddenly smelled something, he felt that Sun Xiaotian had a unique temperament, and he felt that Sun Xiaotian might be able to help him achieve a big scene.

At the heart of Harvard is shooting guard Gilman Schutt, a man who is much like Ray Allen, who is good at running and looking for opportunities from beyond the three-point line. In Lin's senior year, Giman Schutt had just entered the team as a freshman, so he didn't have many shining moments that year. With Jeremy Lin's departure and his own slowly rising, Giman Schutt is now the tactical heart of the team. As a white player, he averaged 19.7 points and 7 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached an astonishing 49.4%. The extremely soft touch makes him a headache for every defender.

How to contain Gilman Schutt has become the first thing for Haywood to consider, but no one in his team's starting team can effectively contain him. His own shooting guard Joe, although he is good both offensively and defensively, but if he runs like Giman Schutt throughout the game, it will be a great drain on the team's offense, and besides, more often Joe needs to appear on the court as a point guard.

Heywood had a bold idea at the moment, he wanted Sun Xiaotian to be the starting No. 2 position, so that Joe could control the ball with peace of mind and better organize the whole team.

It does take a lot of courage to start someone with only one game of college basketball experience, and if he fails, Heywood will be the target of public criticism, and the stingy school directors will take advantage of it.

So, Heywood needs to take a gamble, and he believes that his vision is not wrong.

……

On the day of the game, Sun Xiaotian appeared in the player list as a starter, and for this game, he also deliberately wore a pair of contact lenses, wanting to change the image of a nerd in the past. However, the commentator on the sidelines still joked with his eyes.

"Do you think he can see the basket clearly?"

"I think it's better for him to go back and read the textbook."

This is the United States, and they show no mercy to their opponents. But for Sun Xiaotian, who came from China, this kind of thing is not ironic or sarcastic at all, because they don't understand how vicious it is to "change Su Wei" and "big shabi" in China.

Once the game began, Harvard quickly showed his tactical acumen, and Giman Schutt used his pace to intersperse detours and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates, and soon extended the score to 17-7. At this time, Sun Xiaotian was a little tight because of his first start, and he was always slow for Jimanshute to beat half, which made Jimanshute 3 of 4, scored 8 points, and also sent 2 assists.

After the timeout, Haywood shouted to Sun Xiaotian to overcome his nervousness and consume him not only on the defensive end, but also on the offense.

After the timeout, Sun Xiaotian readjusted his mood, he increased the number of times he held the ball, he first used the inside Gulot's blocking, frequently killed the inside, either layups, or fouls, and soon disrupted the opponent's rhythm, slowly Yale University pulled the score back, only 21-25 behind by 4 points.

Gimanschut came out with a cover pocket, "3 points!!" ”

Sun Xiaotian did not show weakness, used his speed to get rid of the defender, killed the inside, and then threw his hand behind his back, and the ball was passed to Qiao outside the three-point line.

"Huh!" Three points in the bag!

……

The two sides went back and forth, and at halftime, Yale trailed Harvard by eight points, 46-54. Gilman Schutt finished with 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting. Sun Xiaotian only scored 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting, but handed out 6 assists.

During the break, Haywood asked everyone to be a little more involved, and at the same time, he also specifically asked Sun Xiaotian to continue the strategy of the first half, because after Gilman Schutt was 3-of-4 in the opening game, under the consumption of Sun Xiaotian's defense and offense, it became 3-of-9, and it was clear that the strategy was effective.

At the start of the second half, Giman Schutt played iron frequently under Sun Xiaotian's close defense, while Yale University frequently played fast breaks, and soon overtook the score 57-56.

After Harvard called a timeout, Giman Schutt suddenly changed his play, and he began to attack more with the ball, although this was not his characteristic, but Yale was a little caught off guard, and he was frequently fouled, and he scored seven points on consecutive free throws. At this time, Sun Xiaotian was sitting on the sidelines to rest, and as soon as Heywood saw this situation, he changed Sun Xiaotian to the court.

Not to mention, Sun Xiaotian saw miraculous results as soon as he came on the court, a steal, a block, and suppressed Jiman Schutte again. At this time, Yale University was still 77-82 behind Harvard University by five points, and there were only three minutes left in the game.

－－－－－

Without warning, the next game suddenly became Sun Xiaotian's performance moment.

Sun Xiaotian holds the ball on the outside, and Giman Schutt bends down to mark. Sun Xiaotian suddenly raised his hand and made a shooting move, and the deceived Jiman Shute jumped up, and Sun Xiaotian immediately passed Jiman Shute, and it was a violent dunk against the inside defender.

“2+1！！！！”

The dunk instantly ignited the excitement of the Yale players, and the players on the bench jumped for joy.

In turn, Giman Schutt wanted to use his speed to get rid of Sun Xiaotian, but it was clear that Giman Schutt was a little tired. (How fresh!) It's no wonder that you don't get tired of running all over the field like this! ）

Gimanschut finally found an opportunity, caught the ball, and shot.

"Smack!!"

I saw a big hand appear in front of me, followed by a sturdy big hat, yes! It's Sun Xiaotian again.

When he came back to Yale University to attack, Sun Xiaotian still held the ball on the outside, and at this time, the Yale players might let him come alone. Sun Xiaotian looked at the second counter, there were 6 seconds left in the attack time, and he glanced at the defender, "Whoosh!" "It's a dry pull!

"3 points!!" The goal was scored, 83-82 Yale University overtook it!

At this point, there was one and a half minutes left in the game, and Harvard had to call a timeout.

After the pause, it was still Giman Schut, he took advantage of Sun Xiaotian's stunned look, ran to the top of the arc, and made a three-point shot, "The ball is in!" ”

Coach Heywood on the sidelines stomped his feet angrily and yelled at the players to get involved. And Sun Xiaotian here, his eyes were extremely resolute at this time, he held the ball past the midfield, Gulot hurriedly ran over to cover for him, but Sun Xiaotian waved his hand to signal that he wanted to play alone.

Before Gulot could run to the basket, Sun Xiaotian suddenly shot outside the three-point line.

"Huh!" The ball is in again!! 44 seconds left!! Sun Xiaotian turned around and clenched his fists and roared.

Harvard didn't call a timeout, and the Harvard point guard controlled the ball at half court, looking for the heart of the team, Giman Schut. Gimmanschut went back and forth around the baseline, his teammates also covered with him, and Sun Xiaotian chased him hard behind.

Finally, when the offensive time was almost exhausted, Jiman Schutt found an opportunity, and at the moment when he threw off Sun Xiaotian and went out to catch the ball at 45 degrees, Sun Xiaotian almost jumped to the top and stabbed the ball directly to Joe from the back of Jiman Schutt, Joe received the ball and killed the frontcourt, the defender had no time to react, Joe made an easy layup, 88-85!! Yale extended its lead to three points.

There are only 12 seconds left!!

At this time, Harvard University still had a chance to equalize the score. But when Jiman Schutt rushed to the Yale penalty area after receiving the ball, because the sudden was too deep, surrounded by Sun Xiaotian and other players, Jiman Schutt made a mistake in passing the ball and passed the ball directly to Joe.

Yale University won a resounding victory.

After the game, the Yale players huddled together, while the Harvard players silently walked into the locker room.

Sun Xiaotian scored 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting, plus 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 steals, becoming the main contributor to today's victory.
