One Guard

　　 In the Lucas Stadium in Indianapolis, the staff are intensively preparing everything needed for the game. In order to give basketball fans across the United States an excellent game viewing experience, Lucas Stadium even temporarily upgraded its live large screen to make it bigger and wider.

　　The hardwood floor required for the game has been laid long ago. The staff lay on the ground and checked it piece by piece, for fear of something wrong with the wooden floor during the game. As for the hoop and basketball hoop, they have all been reinforced. Although O'Neill dunked the rebounds that year was too exaggerated, but the NCAA still has to ensure that everything meets the standards.

　　 If even the stadium staff are so busy, then the home team's locker room at Lucas Arena must have exploded.

　　 But on the contrary, the players at Butler University are very quiet at the moment. They are just silently changing their equipment, not at all like a team about to participate in the finals of the March Madness Championship.

　　 In fact, it is not that the Bulldogs players are too calm, but that all of them have put their minds on this game. At this moment, they just want to prepare for battle. Other gossip, I can't even talk about it.

　　 The quiet locker room will undoubtedly make the atmosphere quite serious. If it is so quiet, some players with poor psychological quality may already be shaking before they even play.

　　 So Stevens cleared his throat and decided to seize this opportunity to talk to the players about the precautions of this game.

　　 "Guys! Do you remember the defensive strategy we practiced yesterday?" Stevens's loud shout really attracted the attention of the players.

"Be careful with Duke's three wagons, Kyle Singler, Jon Sheval and Nolan Smith. All defenses must revolve around these three people, and the first priority for replenishment is also the three of them. "Yiyang answered Stevens' question while tying his shoelaces.

"Very good! But you all know that after you are on the court, every time you want to do something will be difficult. At this time, I need you to muster the courage and take up your determination to win the championship! This is Indianapolis. Singh, the Singer Stadium, which is 6 miles away, is full of our fans today! This is our home court and our turf. There is no reason for Duke to dominate here!" Stevens got more and more excited. , To the players, it is naturally more and more powerful.

　　 I need to explain, Stevens has almost explained it in the past few days. Seeing that the players' condition has gradually eased, Stevens pushed open the locker room door.

　　 Suddenly, the hustle and bustle from the stadium was blowing. Even though there is still a long player passage between the stadium and the locker room, there is no way to stop the burst of passion at this distance!

　　 "What are you waiting for? Gentlemen." Stevens blinked at everyone, it's time, it's time to play!

　　 Yiyang slowly walked out of the player channel as usual, but when he came out, the audience suddenly flashed and all the fans shouted.

　　 Reggie Miller saw this scene and smiled. "The hero of Indianapolis, as soon as he debuted, he received the standing cheers of the fans! He is the real master here!"

　　Yiyang glanced at the audience. Although he has experienced the baptism of the whole season, the atmosphere of the finals in March Madness is definitely much warmer than any previous games.

　　On the field, the fans not only wore the Bulldogs blue T-shirts, they even painted a few blue paints on their faces.

　　 These fans, men and women, are shouting loudly. They all had signs with cheering slogans in their hands. Some were praising Stevens, and some were praising Hayward. But there is no doubt that the slogan that praises Yiyang is the most.

　　 What's more, I took off my shirt and painted myself a piece of clothing with blue paint. From head to toe, the whole body is blue!

　　 "Fucking crazy!" Hayward stood beside Yiyang, and also looked up at the auditorium.

　　 "Come on, buddy." Yiyang retracted his gaze and stretched out his fist at Hayward.

　　 Hayward smiled, this guy who singled out with the captain on the first day of coming to the team really didn't hate him.

　　 Two fists, one yellow and one white, touched lightly together. These two guys will personally draw a successful conclusion to their NCAA career!

　　※※※

"Hello everyone! Welcome to the T.NT TV station. I am Reggie Miller. Sitting next to me is Chris Weber. Today, we will bring you the long-awaited showdown. The finals of the NCAA March Madness Championship!" After Reggie Miller said, the starting list of both sides appeared on the TV screen.

"The starting lineups of both sides have not changed today. Coach Stevens still sent Hayward, Mark and Yi three sharp knives. And our old coach K, also gave him the troika. Come up!" Webber looked at the information in his hand and began to understand the work.

"From the lineup, Duke is relatively balanced. Forward Kyle Singler averaged 17.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, Jon Sheyer averaged 18.2 points, 4.8 assists, and Nolan Smith. There are also 17.4 points and 2.9 assists. If the three carriages are used together, then Duke’s offensive power will be quite terrifying. And Duke’s starting lineup has been playing together for a long time, and there is a tacit understanding between each other. It is very solid. This is Duke. They have hardly encountered much resistance since March Madness. I hope that today, the Bulldogs can withstand the pressure and make a good goal!" Reggie Miller looked at the data of Duke's three carriages, although they were not high in the draft prediction list individually, and some people even did not sign up for the draft at all. But I have to admit that the old K's system can make these originally "mediocre" players become well-deserved stars!

"Sheyer and Smith both had key three-point performances at key moments in this tournament. In terms of experience and psychological quality, they are very mature. And Singler's performance has been relatively stable all the way, just in In the final game against Baylor University, there was a super downturn of 10 misses, but he also has 3 seasons of experience, adjustment ability is not a problem." Chris Weber then continued to add, can create in the NCAA league For a team similar to the Spurs, coach K's skills are quite deep.

"Of course, the Bulldogs are not bad at all. The team forward Gordon Hayward's predicted pick has climbed to the lottery zone. You must know that a year ago, this guy was considered to be only in the first place. Was selected in the second round! But the biggest trouble for the old coach K is the Bulldogs first-year rookie Yiyang! He has only been in the NCAA for a season and announced that he will participate in the draft. He has been favored by many NBA teams this season. He also averaged a double-double of 15.5 points and 10.1 assists per game, which even made him a strong contender for MOP! The two teams that entered the finals are well deserved. Let’s see if Cinderella continues to write the legend. Still a veteran giant defending his dignity! Don't leave! After the advertisement, the game will begin immediately!"

　　 Chris Weber finished reading the manuscript in his hand in one breath, he quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, and drooled himself two big saliva. "I'm so excited, man!"

　　 "Enjoy it." Reggie Miller adjusted his sitting posture, looking at the players on both sides who were already in their respective positions. A basketball feast even more exciting than the NBA is worth enjoying for everyone!

　　 The referee gave a whistle, and the much-anticipated decisive battle finally started. The excited Matt Howard jumped out of an astonishing height. With his height at a disadvantage, he was the first to win the ball for the Bulldogs!

　　 Basketball is impartial and just falls into the hands of Yiyang. He immediately controlled the ball and started to organize the Bulldogs' first attack in the final!

　　Yiyang can see that Duke's defense is very tight. Under the training of coach K, the Blue Devils' defense is not leaking! Yiyang now has no room to pass the ball, let alone break through with the ball.

　　 While Yiyang was observing the situation on the court, Nolan Smith, one of Duke's three carriages, leaned forward with open arms.

　　 Nolan Smith is definitely the type of point guard that coach K likes. He has a clear mind and can always read the game correctly on the court. Because of this, Smith's offensive efficiency is very high, because he always knows what ball to throw and pass.

　　 This guy also works very **** the defensive end. Duke does not have the kind of player who only likes offense but not defensively.

　　 Yiyang did not dare to act rashly, he always kept a safe distance from Nolan Smith. This smart guy always knows when to start stealing is the most appropriate time!

　　 Old K has thoroughly studied the Bulldogs players. Similarly, Stevens has already told his players the characteristics of each other.

　　Yiyang knew that Nolan Smith’s biggest shortcoming was his lack of explosive power. With mediocre athleticism, he always suffers from one-on-one defense. It was Duke's overall defense that covered up this shortcoming of Smith.

　　 Yiyang made a gesture, and Matt Howard immediately came out for the pick-and-roll, and by the way also pulled out the opponent's 2.15-meter starting center Brian Zubek. With this block madman inside, Yiyang's breakthrough will be very threatened.

　　 "Play the pick-and-roll?" Old K stood on the sidelines with his chin supported. If Yiyang hits the pick-and-roll, then Singler on the side would immediately change defense, and then Nolan Smith, who originally defended Yiyang, would stare at Hayward. In any case, Yiyang couldn't get a chance through this pick and roll.

　　 However, just as Yiyang broke through with the ball and was about to pass the pick-and-roll, the No. 1 guard suddenly passed the ball and gave the ball to Hayward.

　　 At this time, Singler and Smith didn't know whether to change defense or continue to follow defense. Since the ball was in Hayward's hands, Singler did not leave, but continued to guard in front of Hayward.

　　 But Hayward did not attack on his own. As soon as he received the ball before he got the heat, the white small forward immediately played the ball again!

　　 The basketball is not passed to others, it is to find Yiyang who threw off Smith through the pick-and-roll!

　　 This pass went straight into the penalty area, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, because there was no change of defense, Yiyang was empty in front of him after receiving the basketball!

　　 The No. 1 defender has no softness, he directly exerted force on his legs, making himself "flounce" suddenly. This kind of jumping height makes Nolan Smith only envious!

　　 Yiyang held the basketball with his right hand high in the air, smashing it into the frame with all his strength!

　　 Suddenly, the Lucas Stadium shakes! As soon as Yiyang started, he raised his iconic "Thor Hammer" and smashed Duke's head!

"The beautiful running without the ball, and the tacit understanding between Hayward and Duke is no worse than Duke's three carriages! You know, this is only their first season of cooperation!" Reggie Miller couldn't help but muster. With the palm, the first goal of this wonderful game came so intense!

After 　　 Yiyang touched the stand with his left finger after landing, the fans immediately turned up the crowd in response. This kid from the Wood District already knows how to arouse the atmosphere of the scene.

　　 Seeing Yiyang scored, the old coach K was not angry, but shook his head and smiled.

　　 This Chinese defender is indeed very clever, and his defensive strategy has been leaked with a single pass. But this kind of cleverness can only be used once or twice. Basketball games are not won by cleverness!

　　 "It's okay guys! Let them see and see the firepower of the Blue Devils!" Coach K waved his hand, and Duke's players immediately plunged into the offense, and there was no time to regret the goal they just conceded.

　　Yiyang’s goal is certainly wonderful, but Duke, the iron-blooded giant, will not be defeated so easily!

　　 A wonderful beginning, the game that determines the ownership of the champion has entered a white-hot stage from the beginning...
