One Guard

Chapter 59 : Next opponent

“The third overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, the New Jersey Nets chose…Yiyang, from Butler University, China!”

When Jeremy Lin saw Yiyang on the TV, the same player with yellow skin and black hair was selected, the senior Harvard student stood up from the heart and applauded Yiyang.

Unlike Yiyang, Jeremy Lin is a Chinese American born and living directly in the United States. But he also understands how many difficulties an Asian has to face if he wants to survive on the American basketball court! This has nothing to do with nationality, only with skin color.

Jeremy Lin played in an institution of higher learning like Harvard, but when he went to play away, the fans would not be civilized because he was facing Harvard.

“What can an Asian do? Don’t they play table tennis?” This is what most people think of Jeremy Lin after meeting him.

Actually, Jeremy Lin didn’t know that what Yiyang experienced was even more difficult than him. At least Jeremy Lin has a happy family and living environment. But Yiyang can only associate with crime.

After seeing Yiyang being selected, Jeremy Lin has been looking forward to it, hoping that his name can be pronounced by the white-haired old man on stage. This Chinese American began to pray to heaven, even if it would use up all his luck in this life, he would not hesitate!

However, it turns out that God does not care for everyone. When the Suns selected Miami University forward Dwyane Collins with their 60th overall pick, Jeremy Lin knew that he had no chance to hear his name from Stern.

Watching Yiyang taking photos with other rookies in the lottery area on the TV, Jeremy Lin suddenly felt extremely sad. why? Why is basketball dream always so far away from oneself…

※※※

“Yi’s advancing speed is too fast! In a stage like the summer league, no one can keep up with him! There is no skill to speak of, but also a direct breakthrough! Easily, he also kills with the ball, he wants to attack the frame No? No, it was a breakthrough goal. The ball was also divided beyond the three-point line, where Jeremy Lin had been ambushing for a long time. Good goal, the Mavericks scored three more points. The cooperation from the two Asian guards is really beautiful. !”

A few months ago, when Jeremy Lin saw that Yiyang was successfully selected on TV, he never expected that he would one day be able to fight side by side with the Chinese on TV.

Jeremy Lin, who made a three-pointer, stretched out his hand happily, Yiyang did not refuse, and gave this yellow-skinned American a light high-five.

“It’s 20 points. Under Yi’s leadership, the Dallas Mavericks are already 20 points ahead of the Lakers! If they win this ball again, the Mavericks will have their fourth straight victory!”

“This kind of game is too easy for it. Throughout the summer league, only Wall’s performance can be comparable. This MOP of the NCAA semi-finals last season is worthy of the name!”

The commentators exaggerated to Yiyang. At the scene, countless Chinese burst out their enthusiasm that is no worse than foreigners.

Because there are two Chinese in the Mavericks team playing games, their games can always attract many local Chinese groups to watch.

At this time, the summer league has played three games. Yiyang lived up to expectations, averaging 23.6 points, 12 assists and 2.8 steals in three games. The Mavericks, naturally, also made great strides, winning three games in a row.

Today, facing the Los Angeles Lakers, Yiyang did not intend to stop. Although Yiyang is a fan of the Lakers, the Lakers team in the summer league has almost nothing to do with the real Lakers. Naturally, Yiyang will not be merciful. Now that the game is halfway through the fourth quarter, Yiyang has scored 28 points, and just after Jeremy Lin made a three-point assist, his assist number has officially become 10.

The assistant coach Terry Stotts, who led the Mavericks to play in the summer league, was ecstatic. If Yiyang is trained properly, he might really be able to carry the banner off the shoulders of Old Kidd!

After 　　, the Lakers weakly launched another offense. Yiyang didn’t even recognize the point guard in the Lakers training jersey. His movements are more fancy than Yiyang when he first entered Butler, good-looking, good-looking, but full of loopholes!

Yiyang has begun to feel that the game is a bit boring, and the level of this summer league is likely to be inferior to the NCAA. He did not give the opposing defender a chance to perform, Yiyang saw the time and sprinted directly! Stretch out his long arms and intercept the basketball.

The Lakers point guard just felt a gust of wind, and then the basketball was swept away by the number one.

Yiyang started directly after the steal, but to Stotts’s surprise, Jeremy Lin could barely keep up with Yiyang to participate in the fast break!

Actually, Jeremy Lin’s speed is indeed not slow. In the official NBA data, you can even see that his results in the speed test are very small compared to Yiyang and Wall! These data are all facts that can be found. But when Jeremy Lin stood in front of people, his yellow skin always made people think “this guy is too slow.”

or “He just has speed.”

Although Jeremy Lin followed closely behind Yiyang, facing the empty basket, Yiyang did not need to pass the ball anymore.

This guy jumped directly on one foot, with a violent hand, once again staged a rock-shattering dunk. The Lakers point guard reluctantly picked up the basketball from the ground. He knew that his NBA career was completely shut down by Yiyang.

After this dunk, the Lakers ceremonially called a timeout. Everyone knows that this suspension does not make much sense to them.

After 　　 was off, Terry Stotts also replaced Yiyang. Jeremy Lin, on the other hand, remained on the court. The guy from Harvard has to continue to prove himself.

“How do you feel?” After making the deployment, Stotts easily sat next to Yiyang. As long as Yiyang is not the kind of guy who drives high and goes low, then Cuban is doing a business that only makes a profit this time!

“It’s too easy, this kind of game should not help me much to play in the NBA.” Yiyang replied bluntly.

“Hahahaha, it seems that the summer league is really not the place for people like you to come. But don’t worry, you will have to play in the next game.” Stotts grinned smirkly.

“The next one?”

“Boom!” The cheers on the scene overwhelmed the conversation between Yiyang and Stotts, although the simple competition venues of the summer league can only accommodate more than 1,000 people, which is one-tenth or even twenty-tenth of the NBA arena. one. But the sum of the roars of more than a thousand people is already enough to be deaf.

On the court, Jeremy Lin’s breakthrough caused a foul by Lakers rookie Devin Ebanks. His killing is the reason why the fans cheered.

The camera shows Yiyang on the bench, but Yiyang is not too excited. Just now, when coach Stotts told his opponent in the next round of the game, Yiyang instantly lost the last trace of interest in the game before him.

In the end, although Yiyang exited early, the Lakers were already powerless. 86 to 65, the Mavericks beat the Lakers by a huge 21-point difference, and won their four-game winning streak since the beginning of the summer league!

Although it was only a summer league, due to the special nature of Yiyang and Jeremy Lin, after the game, there were still many Chinese media surrounding them and interviewing Yiyang and Jeremy Lin.

“Congratulations on your victory in another game! Also, today you scored a league-high 30 points! Can you continue to climb up in your state?” A Chinese reporter asked excitedly, although it was only a summer league, but also Yang’s results have already made domestic fans ecstatic. You know, when Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian played in the summer league, they averaged only a dozen points per game. And now the national team defender Sun Yue, who is currently participating in the summer league, is even more difficult to find!

“The teammates’ joint efforts made the victory, I just did what I should do.” The boy from the Wood District is no longer silent as before, but he still doesn’t say much.

“How do you evaluate Jeremy Lin’s performance?” Another Chinese reporter called Jeremy Lin’s Chinese name directly.

“Jeremy?” Yiyang took a second to react, because he usually called Jeremy Lin instead of his Chinese name. Even Jeremy Lin himself was a little awkward when he heard the Chinese name.

“Jeremy…Uh, Jeremy Lin scored 13 points today, which is enough to explain everything.”

Finally, Mu Ran, who also came to the scene, raised the topic, and Chao Yiyang leaned over. Seeing Mou Ran, Yiyang didn’t know why he suddenly relaxed. This reporter, seems to have an inexplicable affinity Congratulations on your victory, but we all know that in the next game, you will face the Washington Wizards. Believe that this game will be a real challenge for you! ”

Until Mu Ran asked, other reporters didn’t know that Yiyang’s next opponent was the Wizards. and many more? Now Sun Yue, isn’t he playing the summer league with the Wizards?

The reporters looked at Yiyang’s eyes again, and it really became different! All of them raised the topic, hoping to hear from Yiyang’s mouth, such good words as eager to defeat the national team seniors.

“It is indeed a challenge. I played against John Wall in high school. Now that he has become the No. 1 overall pick, I think he should be more difficult to deal with.”

After Yiyang finished speaking, the other reporters were disappointed. After a long time, Mu Ran and Yiyang are discussing Wall! Maybe people don’t know who Sun Yue is. Mu Ran smiled, this kid is not even afraid of the champion!

“Okay, thank you for accepting the interview.” Mu Ran put down the microphone, turned his body sideways, and let Yiyang walk into the player channel.

“Brother Mu, why didn’t you tell us earlier?”

“Yes, in the next game against the Wizards, Yiyang against the top pick, that’s very worthy of a close-up!”

“”Summer League China Derby”!”

“”Yiyang declares war on the champion!””

In the minds of reporters, even exaggerated headlines have emerged.

Mu Ran didn’t answer his colleagues, he just turned around and watched Yiyang’s back disappear into the depths of the player’s channel.

Yiyang is already full of fighting spirit at this moment, and he is about to face a terrible opponent, but Yiyang is very excited!

Summer League, finally a bit interesting. The corner of the Chinese boy’s mouth was slightly tilted…
