Chapter 50
Chapter 49 : The legend that has just begun
Yiyang only took 15 three-pointers in the entire 09-10 season, and the number of hits was a pitiful 5. Duke forward Kyle Singler hit 4 in one game today. It can be seen from this that Yiyang is indeed a guard who does not like to shoot three-pointers and is not good at shooting three-pointers.
But in fact, apart from everyone on the Bulldogs, no one knows that this seemingly cold No. 1 guard spends a lot of sweat on the basketball court every night, just to make the three-pointer no longer be his weakness. .
On the training ground, Yiyang’s three-pointers have made great progress. His current training content is no longer fixed-point jumpers, but more advanced events such as retreat three-pointers and interference three-pointers.
Bulldogs shooting coach Burris watched Yiyang go from a guy who shoots like Rondo to a good shooting rate. His inner sense of accomplishment needless to say. It’s just that, the outside world doesn’t know it.
So when Yiyang chose to kill the game with a three-point jumper with a step backward, Burris, who was watching the ball at home, suddenly loosened his hands and let Coke fall to the ground. This blessed coach stood up in a daze, and the basketball flying on the TV screen seemed to be his entire career.
Lance Thomas, who was swayed to the ground, raised his arms in despair, and Duke’s three carriages that were easily swayed by Yiyang beat his heart. But the basketball crossed a beautiful arc like a rainbow and fell into the net!
“It’s over! It’s over!” Reggie Miller’s shout made his face flushed. This wonderful game ended in the most exciting way. It is no wonder that even the NBA has to give way to March Madness today. In the face of such a wonderful game, the NBA regular season simply cannot arouse the enthusiasm of the fans.
Wen Xue on the stand slowly took away her hands. The mother did not dare to watch the score on the big screen. She only saw Yiyang kneeling on one knee, squeezing a fist with her right hand, and slamming the hardwood floor.
“Did you win?” Wenxue couldn’t judge the outcome at all through the actions of the players on the court.
“Lost?” She looked around again, and some Bulldogs fans even shed tears.
Finally, she mustered up the courage and raised her head. 69 to 70, the Bulldogs scored behind. The game is over, and the Bulldog leads by one point! Wen Xue suddenly yelled, she could no longer restrain her inner excitement.
“Yeah! His three-pointer killed the game! God, this is a worthy three-pointer! Everyone knows that Yee did not perform well beyond the three-point line. But today, he is exactly what he did. With a three-pointer, the team won the victory! Won the championship! Let us congratulate the Butler University Bulldogs team, they have interpreted the Cinderella story to the end!”
On the commentary stage, Reggie Miller’s voice made Chris Webber on the side almost deaf. And on the basketball court, all the Bulldogs players who were stunned for a second rushed forward and picked up Yiyang!
“YI! YI! YI! YI!…” In the stands, more than 20,000 fans on the scene were all shouting the name of one person. This group of guys may not know, their voices seem to be yelling Yiyang’s number, 1.
“Lore! Fuck! This kid made a three-point lore! God! Look at what we did!?” As for the young Stevens, he has lost his sanity now. This guy even forgot to shake hands with coach K, but at the moment, no one will blame Stevens for his lack of manners. Anyone who has experienced the scene just now, they will react in the same way as Stevens.
At this time, in Schinkel Arena, home of the Bulldogs, 6 miles away from Lucas Stadium, more than 10,000 fans who watched the live broadcast of the game on the big screen on the scene also made this basketball that did not hold a game. The field boiled completely.
The big dark horse beloved by the United States successfully overturned the traditional giants, and a Hollywood-like perfect ending has become a reality!
Butler successfully reproduced the miracle story of Milan High School in 1954, successfully embarked on the glorious road of Texas Western University in 1966, and successfully contributed a game similar to the 1983 North Carolina State University in the league championship. Lore. They have become the team that can represent the strongest team in the United States! Their story begins today and will become another legend in the history of basketball!
“Hey, let’s throw him up!” It wasn’t until Hayward yelled that the Bulldogs players found a new way to celebrate.
Without Yiyang’s consent, the players immediately let Yiyang Ping lie on their hands, and then everyone worked together to throw the hero who decided the outcome of the game high in the air.
Yiyang in the air felt as if everything was still. This cold boy was laughing happily. This kind of smile was the first time Wenxue saw his son’s face since Yiyang was eight years old.
He won the respect, the love, the championship, and the opportunity to leave the Wood District and change his life! After so many years of hard work with his mother, Yiyang finally won. Therefore, the boy finally laughed.
The celebration of the Bulldogs players finally ceased until the on-site staff began to set up a temporary podium on the site.
Yiyang was put down by his teammates. As soon as he landed, Stevens, with some moist eyes, opened his arms and hugged Yiyang tightly.
“You did it! Kid!” Stevens’s voice sounded sonorous and powerful.
“Thank you, Mr. Stevens.” Yiyang also hugged this father-like guy tightly. This time, Yiyang’s tone was extraordinarily gentle.
After , the staff brought 15 bulldogs wearing the Bulldogs mini jersey to the field. These cute pets immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
The bulldogs are around the podium, and everyone on the Bulldogs team, with the support of these little guys, boarded the podium!
At the top of the stadium, colorful paper tapes erupted. The fans stretched out their hands towards the center of the court one by one, as if worshipping their god.
The Bulldogs players on the stage have all their eyes on the NCAA Championship trophy.
Bulldogs players wear the championship baseball cap one by one. This hat is definitely of extremely high collection value for Yiyang!
At this time, NCAA Association officials walked to Stevens with the trophy representing the national championship.
“Congratulations, coach. Your lads, they are awesome!” After speaking, the officials handed out the trophy.
Stevens was shocked, he couldn’t believe that all this had actually become a reality. Standing on the podium, he is about to raise the trophy symbolizing the highest honor! His team actually became the champion!
“Mr. Stevens?” The NCAA official saw Stevens not responding, so he called him again.
Stevens slowly took the trophy from the official. The weight of the trophy was much heavier than he thought.
Stevens looked at the players around him. After that, the 33-year-old marshal suddenly raised the trophy above his head!
Around Stevens, the players’ hands are leaning towards the championship trophy. After that, Stevens passed the trophy to his players one by one. After Yiyang took the trophy, the cheers on the scene officially reached its peak.
After , the NCAA semi-finals MOP trophy, without a doubt, fell in the hands of Yiyang, who had the final word. In the semi-finals, Yiyang averaged 17.2 points, 10.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game, allowing him to overpower his teammate Hayward and become the first Chinese player ever to win this honor.
When that cool Asian boy laughed and raised the MOP trophy above his head, the young girls in the audience instantly lost their resistance. It turns out that this cool kid is so sunny when he laughs.
The colorful ribbons have been spilled on the vigorous young people. This team that looks like a player even the coach will be recorded in the history of the NCAA forever.
Yiyang climbed up the stairs prepared by the court staff a long time ago, picked up the scissors, and cut off the net on the basket.
Mu Ran raised the camera and took a picture of Yiyang holding up the net to show off to his teammates. This is a kind of honor to qualify for the Nets.
The Bulldogs’ game is legendary enough, and their season has been amazing enough. And Mu Ran knew that the story of the Bulldogs No. 1 had just begun.
This is the coronation moment for young people, and it is also the first step for Yiyang on the road to glory.
Champion, in the future, there will be many more…
