Chapter 35: Winning Is So Easy

The 20-4 offensive climax in the opening game not only allowed everyone at Yale to find the rhythm of the offense, but also let everyone at Marquette University know the price to pay for despising Yale.

'We've made them feel and where is our defence? Are we air proof? Let's take a look at the performance of the opponent's number 35! You're the one who makes him a superstar, right? ”

Marquard's university coach is sarcastic about his players, and he wants to stimulate his players so that they can find the fighting spirit and rhythm of the attack. However, it seems that this means have little effect!

Back on the pitch, Universitate-Marquette reintroduced Darius Johnson-Odom. Without Darius Johnson-Odom, Marquette University hasn't been much better on both ends of the floor. On the contrary, Marquette University was beaten even worse by Yale.

Maybe it's because of the calmness off the field! Darius Johnson-Odom came on the pitch and showed a different performance than before, and he played much smarter. He first used his fast speed and sharp breakthrough characteristics to break through to the inside to score. Then he took advantage of the shrinkage of Yale University's defense and the relatively large gap on the outside to assist Zheng. Claudel hit a three-pointer to make it 20-9 in an instant.

Seeing that Marquette University was on the rise, Sun Xiaotian's response against the sky beat Marquette University to the ground.

was beaten by Marquette University to a small 5-0 climax, and Coach Heywood on the sidelines couldn't sit still.

"Don't relax, they're not so easy to beat!" Coach Heywood shouted.

Seeing this situation, Sun Xiaotian took the initiative to ask for the ball. While holding the ball, Sun Xiaotian motioned to his teammates to run actively, and shouted "Tactics!" Move! Engrossed! A few words.

Sun Xiaotian actually wants to tell everyone not to take it lightly. I'm also telling my teammates that I'm going to respond.

Sure enough, Sun Xiaotian stretched out his hand and motioned for Kevin and Gulott to step forward for the classic double block. Marquette University deserved to have done pre-match research, and they immediately judged Sun Xiaotian's intentions. Darius Johnson Odom immediately rushed in front of Kevin and blocked Kevin behind him, so that, along with the defenders brought by Gulot, Sun Xiaotian was suddenly caught between the two Marquette University defenders.

It is easy for Sun Xiaotian to break the bag clip, but this sudden change of bag clip makes him really uncomfortable. thought that Sun Xiaotian would choose to pass the ball under this kind of pressing, and the other players of Marquette University were also ready to cut off Sun Xiaotian's passing route. However, Sun Xiaotian's temper is sometimes twisted like this, if you want him to be fooled, he really won't give you a chance.

I saw that Sun Xiaotian relied on his skillful dribbling to shake off the sandwich of Darius Johnson Odom and another Marquette University defender. made them have to chase after Sun Xiaotian.

Seeing that Sun Xiaotian had broken through to the restricted area of Marquette University, the opponent did not dare to step forward to make up for it, because they had no way to let go of their defensive Yale players, because their shots were too accurate. Therefore, he can only let Sun Xiaotian "come to him".

Seeing this opportunity, Sun Xiaotian did not go too deep. He knew that the deeper the suddenness, the fewer options he would have. He decisively chose the emergency stop, wanting to end the attack with a pull-up jumper. And at this time, there were two people chasing behind him, Sun Xiaotian just stopped, his arm was just about to rise, only to feel two black shadows behind him rushing towards him. Sun Xiaotian used the corner of his eye to see the two people raise their arms, their arms crossed, and pounced from behind him, trying to cover their shots.

But Sun Xiaotian suddenly shrank his arms, bent his body, and then looked at the two people as if they had pounced, and saw Sun Xiaotian play a trick on himself.

After dodging the two people, the rest was very smooth for Sun Xiaotian. I saw him jump steadily, and the ball also went into the net.

On the basketball court, there is nothing more painful for a team desperately chasing points than the calm response of the opponent. You score a goal, I give you back, the two sides have back and forth, and no one gives in to each other.

At the moment, Marquette University is facing this situation with Yale University, which has found its own offensive rhythm, but the offensive efficiency has gradually improved. But every time they brought the gap closer, Yale responded like a rubber band, widening the gap again.

By the end of the first half, Yale University had a 16-point lead over Marquette University at 53-37. Although the score is not big, and there are still twenty minutes of play in the second half. But. With Yale University in its current form, Marquette wants to get the score back unless the former Marquette ace on the sidelines ---- Wade plays.

At halftime, Sun Xiaotian swept away the sluggish state of the previous game, shooting 6 of 9, easily cutting 15 points, and handed out 5 assists and 4 rebounds. And as the two core aces of Marquette University, Darius Johnson-Odom and Zheng. Claudel combined for just 6-of-17 shooting, totaling for 16 points.

Seeing the performance of the core of the two teams, it can be said that Sun Xiaotian of Yale University alone got the other two people. In addition to his own outstanding play, other role players at Yale University played an important role today, especially the three-point shooters, who became the key to opening the score. Although Kevin couldn't find his form in this game for a long time, only scored a pitiful three points in the first half, it didn't affect the team's form.

It's said that in the NBA, especially in the playoffs, it's often the role players who decide the direction of the game. It's the same in the NCAA, as a team leader, it's true that you want to be the key to your team's success, but choosing to trust your teammates when it matters is also the key to testing whether you are a good leader. Compared with the likes of Darius Johnson-Odom of Marquette University, what Sun Xiaotian is doing today is exactly what the leader and the core do.

……

Entering the second half, Yale University did not give Marquette University another chance. Although the opponent also tried to make a counterattack during this period, Kevin's real-time small play also strangled them in the cradle.

In the end, the game ended in garbage time, 98-67! Sun Xiaotian and other main players watched their teammates complete the game from the sidelines. Looking at the fans at the scene, Marquette University supporters have long since disappeared, including Wade.

With 24 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, Sun Xiaotian once again proved that his potential is unlimited. As long as the team has his stable performance, they have the capital to wrestle with any strong team.

At this point, Yale is making its own history with every step it takes. However, now, their dark horse nature is still continuing.
