One Guard

Chapter 17 : The Art of Passing

“Don’t panic! Continue to play at our own pace. They can’t play like this for the entire game, we have to take the lead in controlling the rhythm!” Nate Martin saw that the morale of the players seemed to be low, so he immediately started to play on the sidelines. Shouted.

Yiyang’s steals, a dunk dunk and a 360° turn assist in the air, are indeed not considered regular styles of play. No team can rely on this kind of thing to last a whole game.

On the basketball court, who doesn’t have one or two highlight moments? Nate Martin believes that Yiyang is just a flash in the pan. When the Buckeyes gradually control the rhythm of the game, the threat of this Chinese will continue to decline!

“The boss is right! The game has just begun, and if we are ready, we will go back!” As the leader of Ohio State University, Evan Turner has an obligation to help the team regain confidence.

Turner knew that shouting was only one aspect of it. Want to really cheer up the team’s morale, a wonderful goal, it couldn’t be more appropriate.

With the cheering of the home team fans, Turner chose to hand over the ball for the first time after halftime. Of course, this does not mean that Turner wants to shirk responsibility at a critical moment, but that he needs to run without the ball to gain space for himself.

Yiyang stared at the guy dribbling in front of him, he didn’t know who this number 2 was, and Stevens also said that he didn’t need to waste more energy on this guy. But Yiyang knows that if it can interfere with his match-up pass, it is also a way to help the team defend well.

Evan Turner cut into the penalty area through an off-the-ball pick-and-roll, and then immediately ran back to the outside line.

This series of running moves caused Hayward to lose most of his position. Yiyang reacted as soon as the opponent made the pass, and he did touch the basketball.

Although he did not succeed in stealing, Yiyang managed to change the trajectory of basketball. Turner had to change his receiving position. This change of position gave Hayward time to defend.

Turner, who could have an open shot, had to face Hayward’s close defense once again because of Yiyang’s interference with the pass.

In the end, Evan Turner used a back-to-slide action to advance to the mid-range position. After that, he turned over and made a jumper, which made a steady hit.

The stadium burst into violent cheers again, and many NBA scouts also nodded approvingly. Evan Turner, maybe he belongs to the kind of rookie who can be effective as soon as he is selected! Three years of college career has nurtured Turner to perfection!

After Turner scored, Stevens was not irritable, nor did he show any disappointment. He just stood quietly on the sidelines, as if nothing happened just now.

Evan Turner’s turn-over jumper just now is indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that Hayward has nothing to do. But Turner is always Turner, he is not Kobe. Nate Martin believes that Yiyang cannot play the entire game like just now. Could it be that Turner can score the entire game with extremely difficult offensive methods?

The game after 　　 is just as Stevens predicted. Hayward and Evan Turner, neither of these two guys can guard against each other. The game became extremely anxious, and the scores of the two sides also climbed alternately.

Nate Martin has never stopped yelling on the sidelines from the beginning of the game to now. And Stevens? Facing the same situation where the score could not be opened, Stevens sat back on the bench leisurely.

After Turner made another layup with a tough breakthrough, Stevens unhurriedly called a timeout. He knows that the time has come!

“Good performance, good performance…” Stevens high-five the off-court players one by one, as if the Bulldogs are now very ahead.

After everyone was seated on the bench, Stevens also lifted a small bench and sat in front of the players.

“Now we are one point behind, the guy Evan Turner, he can be said to be completely crazy.” Stevens said, looking at the Buckeyes bench on the other side of the court. Over there, Nate Martin’s voice is very loud, and it seems that the atmosphere in their bench is very tense.

Stevens smiled, then turned his head and continued. “We created too many difficulties for Turner, especially you Gordon. You gave Evan a lot of pressure on both ends of the offense and defense. If I expected, that guy Evan is going to die. After that, His hit rate will drop due to physical problems! At that time, it is our chance! Also!”

“I’m listening.”

“Your next task is to create as easy as possible for everyone to score opportunities. Hayward just played very hard, but now, I want you to control the ball, you decide how to play the offense! Evan. Turner now has to do his best every time he wants to score a goal. But also, you can make it easy for everyone to score! If necessary, you can increase the number of active attacks yourself!” Stevens finished. The pen in his hand also stopped.

Yiyang looked at the tactical board and nodded lightly. “Oh, got it.”

The timeout ended soon, and the players from both sides reappeared. Sure enough, when the situation did not open up, the coaches on both sides did not make any personnel adjustments.

Even though he had been resting for a while, Evan Turner’s breathing was still fast. Yiyang walked towards the Buckeyes halftime step by step, unknowingly. The core of the field has changed from Hayward to Yiyang.

Turner took a few breaths, and once again held Hayward, hoping to restrict the movement of the white forward from the start.

This time, Yiyang did not pass the ball to Hayward as always, but raised his hand and made a gesture.

“Huh, know that Turner is not easy to attack, do you want to give up?” Nate Martin was overjoyed. If Hayward gave up the attack, it would only be a matter of time before the Buckeyes opened the score!

Although Yiyang is just a rookie, as the core point guard on the field, his teammates are still running under Yiyang’s command.

Yiyang watched the tactics have been implemented, so he gradually accelerated the frequency of alternating dribbling with his left and right hands. He, ready to start!

Yiyang, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc of the three-point line, began to slowly move along the three-point line to the left. At the moment when his counterpoint moved and stepped laterally, Yiyang suddenly changed his hands and changed directions in front of his body. It passed the guy who Stevens said “don’t waste too much energy”.

Yiyang’s breakthrough is still so easy, just like going out for a walk in the morning.

The arrow from the string went straight to the basket, and the Buckeyes players habitually shrank the defensive formation to protect the basket.

During the breakthrough, Yiyang stared at the basket, but the basketball suddenly went around behind him. A person who didn’t look at the pass from behind, Yiyang gave the basketball out with an extremely “street” action.

“Smelly boy!” Stevens smiled and shook his head. That guy Yiyang is actually more fun than everyone else!

This cool pass is not just for being cool. Basketball is like having eyes, and it flies accurately towards Shelvin Mark who has been ambushing for a long time.

Yiyang’s pass is very secret and very sudden. So when Shelvin Mark received the basketball, he didn’t even have a defender within two meters of him! The Buckeyes’ defense was all brought to the inside by Yiyang!

Although the three-pointer is not Mark’s expertise, but with such a big gap, how can the captain of Mark be embarrassed to disappoint a newcomer?

The black guard kicked and dropped the knife, the basketball traversed a huge arc, and finally fell into the net.

“Yi’s mind is very clear, this guy will always know where his teammates are!” There is no doubt that Yiyang’s pass without looking at people has been praised by everyone. The big screen at the scene even gave a wonderful replay immediately.

Gradually, people shifted their attention from Yiyang’s lightning-fast speed and terrifying jumping power to his ability to control the offense.

Yiyang’s performance is not like a rookie at all, his offensive organization is adept, like an old guard who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Calm and accurate, but a little more fancy.

Although this goal allowed the Bulldogs to successfully score three points, it did not attract Nate Martin’s attention. In his opinion, Turner restricted Hayward this round, and that was considered a success. Because of the Bulldogs’ offense, it is finally going to return to Hayward.

However, in the second round, the situation was still different from Martin’s imagination.

Hayward is still stuck to death by Turner. The white small forward seems to be too lazy to move. He has become a static restraint point.

Yiyang did not break through with his terrifying speed this time, but the speed of his passing still made the audience exclaim.

Yiyang suddenly hit the ground while he was in possession of the ball. The basketball dragged the afterimage through the crowd quickly, and then bounced back into the hands of Matt Howard, who had already cut into the basket.

Fortunately, Matt Howard has a good playing habit and was prepared to catch the ball early. Otherwise, with such a sudden pass, Howard really may not be able to stabilize it.

In an instant, the Buckeyes’ defense that had not yet spread out, once again retracted toward the basket. In the face of the Buckeyes guard’s double-team, Matt Howard failed. He passed the ball out, and Shelvin Mark once again got an open shot. This time, it was in the middle distance position.

There was no accident in Mark’s shooting. For a player who aims at the NBA, this kind of ball must be shot.

“Although there were no direct assists, there is no doubt that it was the Buckeyes’ defense that was completely torn apart by passing the ball! With him in charge of offensive power, the Bulldogs have changed countless!”

“This guy’s performance on the court is simply pleasing to the eye! Every pass he makes is very comfortable and deadly!” A scout for an NBA team even wrote such a sentence in his notes. words.

The Buckeyes immediately launched a counterattack, but Turner, who was exhausted, could no longer score goals in that difficult way.

This time, Turner is blocking Hayward’s stop jumper. But the basketball knocked out of the box and was picked up by Matt Howard, who was already stuck in the position.

Matt raised the basketball to look for Yiyang, but found that Yiyang was already rushing to the front court and charged himself for the ball!

Without hesitation, the white center slammed hard and the basketball chased Yiyang and flew over.

“Directly launch the attack with a long pass! No, the pass is not good, it is too big, and it is impossible to receive it!” The commentator sighed. These young people have good ideas, but Matt does have some long passing ability. Unsightly.

Yiyang continued to accelerate after being surpassed by basketball, but he was getting closer and closer to the bottom line. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com originally wanted to use a fast break to score a plan, but it couldn’t be implemented. Yiyang turned his head and glanced behind him, then rushed out at the basketball that flew out of the bottom line!

After 　　 Yiyang flew out, his body was almost parallel to the ground. This guy stretched himself out in the air, stretched out his arms, and was able to touch the basketball.

He recalled the scene he had just looked back at, and then he fished hard with his left hand.

Everyone thinks this is just an ordinary save, but in fact, Yiyang intends to directly form an assist!

The basketball that was rescued by Yiyang was unbiased, and it happened to fly into the hands of Hayward who followed.

After 　　, Yiyang fell into the arms of the cheerleaders on the sidelines again. But Hayward jumped high, dunking with both hands!

“It turned out to be an assist! God! How did he do it! Just looking back can make him deliver an assist in such a difficult situation!?” This time, the commentator couldn’t help standing from his seat. Up. He wanted to find out, what kind of monster is the Asian running on the basketball court?

Yiyang’s fierce eyes scared the cheerleaders around him. He didn’t “enjoy” the feeling of lying on those white thighs, but got up quickly on his own and went back to defense without expression.

“You kid! Really find a place to fall! I see you, it was deliberate.” During the retreat, Hayward, who had a quick dunk, smiled and joked with Yiyang.

On the sidelines, coach Nate Martin’s face was already covered in dark clouds.

If he can, he really hopes to take back what he said before the game.

Yiyang is not a dispensable character, his existence is even more troublesome than Hayward!
