One Guard

Chapter 16 : Spotlight, shine here

Matt Howard’s height is quite outstanding among the Bulldogs. But in fact, he is only 2 meters in height in shoes, but he is an out-and-out “short” center.

Without the advantage of athletic ability and height and wingspan, Ohio State Buckeyes’ starting center Jason Iman easily took the racket away from Matt Howard.

The basketball did not pass through the hands of the point guard, but flew directly into the arms of Evan Turner. This guy started to advance directly, and didn’t mean to pass the ball. Although Evan Turner is actually playing at the third position, on the court, Evan Turner can be a point guard, a shooting guard, or a small forward. His omnipotence is undoubtedly the key to this guy being able to become a college star.

Before Turner can easily dribble a few steps, the Bulldogs star Gordon Hayward has already attacked himself with teeth and claws.

Don’t look at Hayward, the white striker who is gentle on the surface, but in fact, this guy’s physical fitness is not bad at all! If Hayward was just a forward who could shoot three pointers, then he would never get such a lot of attention. In the NCAA, people who can shoot three-pointers abound. But Hayward, what makes him great is not just that precise shooting.

When Turner played against Hayward last season, he could easily use his physical advantage to crush the breakthrough. But today, when Turner was preparing to repeat the old tricks, he found that the white guy in front of him could not stand it anyway!

Hayward, who is already in the second grade, is not content with the status quo. He has worked hard to gradually develop his good physical talents.

Turner quickly took a step back. Since he couldn’t move, there was no need to keep attacking. That way, it will only increase the probability of your own mistakes.

After the first failed attempt to break through, Turner raised his right hand and asked for a pick-and-roll from the “black and hard” center Jason Iman in his lineup.

Iman is a standard meat shield type insider, he is huge, tall, and very strong. Although the speed of movement has been slower, it is still very good as a standing frame protector.

Iman ran to Turner strenuously. Turner did not hesitate at all, and immediately began to shake his upper body and broke through quickly.

It seems that Hayward’s “small body” can’t get around the “roshan” of Iman at all. Turner smiled, scoring is still so easy and happy.

After bypassing the pick-and-roll and throwing off Hayward, Turner was about to accelerate the breakthrough. Just when he was about to launch an impact towards the basket, the college basketball star suddenly discovered that the basketball on his left seemed a little out of control!

It is the easiest way to steal when the opponent is breaking through! Yiyang’s own experience on the basketball court applies even to the star Turner!

When Turner passed Hayward and was about to accelerate, his vigilance would indeed be greatly reduced. This guy didn’t notice that the number one guard had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time!

Yiyang saw the timing, and suddenly stretched out his arm. The basketball in Turner’s hand was suddenly shot away by Yiyang, who suddenly came out, and the steal succeeded!

“Very keen judgment! I also chose a good steal timing. This guy, he broke the ball from the palm of Evan Turner’s hand!”

After 　　 Yiyang succeeded in stealing, he didn’t stop his footsteps.

“This…” Watching Yiyang flash past his eyes from the sidelines, the Buckeyes was completely stunned at coach Nate Martin! If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe that a yellow-skinned defender could run at the speed of a black!

Yiyang couldn’t hear anything, only the wind whizzed past. In a short while, Yiyang caught up with the basketball that he stabbed away. He bends gently, slaps his palm, and the basketball jumps on its own.

After 　　, Yiyang’s foot has already stepped into the three-second zone. He glanced behind him to make sure that no one could threaten his offense. Then, the No. 1 defender kicked his legs hard!

“Whoo! Boom!” Yiyang dunked his hands and ended perfectly!

“God! This kid is flying!” Looking at Yiyang, who hung his arms on the basket, the on-site commentator from Ohio State University roared in disbelief. You know, this is his first time watching Yiyang play. Prior to this, he had always believed that Yiyang was a defender with a style like Nash.

But now he knows that this number one is a beast at all!

“Fuck!” Even Evan Turner, who was chasing Yiyang, grew his mouth after seeing Yiyang’s dunk. If only talking about speed and jumping, this seemingly unthreatening Asian defender seems to be stronger than himself!

At this moment, Buckeyes coach Nate Martin knew that he had committed an extremely stupid mistake! He actually told his players a few minutes ago that the Asian defender was not threatening!

After 　　 successfully dunked, Yiyang quickly retreated, and did not make any celebratory moves. When passing by Evan Turner, Yiyang took a special look at the star forward.

Although he didn’t speak, Turner knew the meaning of the look. You want to go to war! ? Come on then!

“Unbelievable advancing speed and take-off height, this kid may be as fast as John Wall!” When the commentator recalled the scene of Yiyang stealing a dragon dunk just now, the name Wall quickly appeared. In his head.

“The problem is that Wall has long been well-known and comprehensive, but we can’t even pronounce his name as the No. 1 guard in front of us! Now, I finally know how the Mountainers lost the last game.”

In just one round, Yiyang succeeded in stealing the limelight from Hayward and Turner and shone the spotlight on himself.

If the last game against the Mountainers was just a trifle, then today’s game against Evan Turner is a high-profile match.

Because of Turner and Hayward, there must be a large number of scouts at the scene of today’s game. Most of them are sent by NBA teams to look for rookies.

Yiyang’s performance just now undoubtedly caused many scouts to add a Chinese name to their notebooks.

After experiencing the painful lesson just now, in the second round, Evan Turner’s nerves were obviously tighter than before.

He knew that now he had to watch out for more than Hayward. The seemingly mediocre Asian defender is also a threat! No wonder the guy named Claude specifically mentioned this name when interviewing him yesterday. It seems that the sources of the Buckeyes scouts are not as well-versed as these reporters!

This time, Turner still attacked with the ball on his own. This guy’s first step is actually not fast, but the reason why Turner is great is because of his changeable dribbling rhythm.

Turner’s decisive start made Hayward had to retreat, but when Hayward retreated, the all-around forward suddenly pulled his crotch back and took a step back to get a little shot space.

For players like Evan Turner, this space is more than enough. He took the shot calmly, even though Hayward pounced very hard, Turner was not nervous at all.

The basketball went over Hayward’s fingertips and went straight to the hoop. Despite some disturbances, the basketball thrown by Turner is still hollow into the net!

“Swipe!” The crisp tumbling sound of the Nets echoed in everyone’s ears, and Evan Turner turned around and left. This kind of wonderful moment, he has to repeat a game more than ten times!

“We can all see that Hayward has tried his best. But there is no way, Evan Turner is such a player. At least in the NCAA, it is difficult to have any defense that can contain him. NBA, it is. It belongs to people like him.”

After an accidental error in the first round, Turner quickly got back on track. Yiyang has to admit that the 21st is indeed very powerful, at least in terms of shooting, he is not even a bit behind this “No. 1 candidate”.

“Don’t be anxious, organize an offense, organize an offense!” Brad Stevens shouted loudly at Yiyang from the sidelines.

Yiyang received the baseline ball and began to slowly approach the enemy’s position. However, Yiyang was surprised that the Buckeyes had more defensive loopholes than the Mountainers in the previous game!

Most of the defensive forces were piled up on Hayward’s side. In other places, the Buckeyes gave Yiyang some great passing space.

Now, Nate Martin already knows that the No. 1 guard is as fast as lightning. But he still doesn’t know that the pass organization level of the No. 1 guard can’t be contained by this level of defense!

Jason Iman, the slow speed of the **** man seems to be able to use it. Yiyang made a few gestures, and Matt Howard did not go forward for the pick and roll. Because now, Yiyang needs Matt to stay inside to prepare for the attack later.

There is no pick-and-roll, Shelvin Mark and Gordon Hayward just opened up a little space for Yiyang. It seems that Yiyang is an opponent who intends to make a one-on-one breakthrough!

Just as the round time on the timer became 28 o’clock, Yiyang suddenly started! Go to the left!

The Buckeyes point guard immediately moved a step laterally. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, maybe the lightning-fast Number One had already passed himself!

Just when the two bodies came into contact, Yiyang suddenly changed his steps, taking the defensive player as the axis, and quickly turned around!

In an instant, Yiyang blocked his opposing position behind him and made his life clean!

After 　　 turned around and dropped the matchup, Yiyang’s road to breakthrough was wide open. He continued to accelerate, and it seemed that this “cruise missile” was about to detonate the Buckeyes’ basket!

At this time, Jason Iman had to come up to help defend. If you continue to let it go, it is no different from giving the Bulldogs two points.

“Fake him! Take him! Take him!…” The Buckeyes fans on the scene yelled neatly. They all hope to see Jason Iman give this Asian boy a bit of color. Look.

Seeing the strong and tall Jason coming step by step, Yiyang did not panic. Basketball is not a game of just trying to figure out.

Yiyang took a big breath, and just stepped into the three-second zone, he directly took off against Jason Iman!

“Idiot!” Buckeyes coach Nate Martin shook his head. The No. 1 guard would only add a block to Iman by doing so. His bounce is indeed terrifying, but it is impossible for him to attack the frame through Iman in such a small space.

Seeing that this little-known No. 1 guard actually chose to take off directly, Jason Iman felt so happy. As a blue-collar center, there are not many opportunities for him to show off. This time is good, someone sent a big risk, is there any reason not to pick it up.

Iman dragged his huge weight and gently lifted off the ground. In the next second, Yiyang and Yiman’s bodies collided. It seems that Yiman completely covered Yiyang’s whole person, and did not leave Yiyang a chance at all!

“Is the way the No. 1 guard handles the ball a bit reckless?” The on-site commentator shook his head disappointedly. This is another shocking point guard who has no physical fitness but plays without brain thinking. It seems that after Rose and Westbrook became popular, this kind of point guard is now becoming more and more popular.

Just when everyone thought Yiyang’s performance was over, the number one defender with the braided head actually leaned on Iman in the air and planned to turn around!

“This is!?” The commentator’s eyes suddenly widened, and things didn’t seem to be as simple as they thought.

After seeing Yiyang making physical contact with Iman in the air, he suddenly turned around 360° in the air using Iman as the axis! This turn around looked exactly the same as the action he had just broken through!

“Is this going to complete a 360° turn and layup in the air!?” Everyone was stunned, how did the Asian spin like a top in the air.

After Yiyang turned around in the air, Iman’s big hands were still on top of his head. If Yiyang wants to make a layup, Iman still has a chance to block.

However, Yiyang did all of this not to score himself. Stevens asked him to pass the ball, this is how he passes the ball!

Yiyang turned around in the air and gently handed the ball. The Bulldogs starting center Matt Howard just ran back to the basket and received the basketball.

At this time, Yiyang’s breakthrough and take-off attracted Iman’s defense. Therefore, Matt Howard is completely unmarked at the basket!

The white center did not hesitate. He jumped on the spot, leaped high, and slammed the basketball into the box with both hands! The Buckeyes players can only watch this happen!

“Imaginative assists! From the beginning, I didn’t plan to score by myself! All this is under his control!” At this time, everyone was impressed by Yiyang’s performance!

Matt Howard touched Yiyang’s head excitedly after landing. In the United States, touching other people’s heads does not only exist between elders and juniors. If people of similar age do this, it can only be said that these two people are already quite close. Duncan of the Spurs often touches Parker’s head, and even Kobe Bryant will not lose his temper when Gasol touches his head.

Yiyang didn’t respond to any happy expressions in the excited Matt. He still maintained the “feature” of his facial paralysis.

One dunk, one assist. Yiyang’s two wonderful shots have caused Evan Turner’s name to be mentioned less and less times. Now, the focus of the entire stadium is the newcomer named Yiyang!

Brad Stevens stood on the sidelines with his hands triumphantly, great, it hasn’t started yet… As the game continues to deepen, when Hayward and Turner are inextricably played. The players of the Buckeyes will know what is called the Ark of Falling from the Sky!
