A stocky defender with small eyes and a round head stopped his work, staring at the opposite half, and the yellow-skinned guy in the number one jersey looked up.
Shervin Mark's reputation has long been known. This Asian boy, Ho De, can make Mark even give up his number one jersey.
Before the game started, the meritorious coach of the University of Texas Longhorns, Rick Barnes, reminded him more than once that he should be careful of the opposing point guard. But in Bradley's view, there is nothing to be careful about that number one.
His slightly thin figure and height no more than a few centimeters higher than himself made Bradley relieved a lot. Rick Barnes is a good coach. The reason why he has been able to lead the team to March Madness for 11 consecutive years is precisely because he is cautious.
But in Bradley's view, this time, his coach is a little too cautious. For guys like Yiyang, Bradley thinks he can defend himself as much as he wants!
"Smelly boy! What are you looking at? Don't hurry up to warm up!?" Just when Bradley was in a daze at Yiyang, Barnes' low roar reached the court.
Bradley smiled at the chubby white coach and threw himself into the warm-up again.
Unlike Bradley's ease, the University of Texas Longhorns coach Rick Barnes looks uncomfortable. The coach has watched a lot of videos of the Bulldogs game. The strength of this Big Ten League champion cannot tolerate Xiao Xu.
Hayward and Shelvin Mark, naturally, needless to say, the newcomer named Yi has always made Barnes uneasy.
Although his own Bradley is known as the "defender killer", he has also been publicly praised by Celtics coach Doug Rivers. But Barnes still can't completely rest assured, the most terrifying thing about that No. 1 guard is not that he performs well, but that he is improving almost all the time!
Barnes would rather make Bradley fully prepared than to underestimate his opponent. As a coach who can lead the team to March Madness for 11 consecutive years, he knows very well that underestimating the enemy will bring the team to a fatal disaster.
"Be careful, too. Bradley's defense is like a mad dog. If you need a pick-and-roll, I will come out and cooperate with you at any time." In the other half, Matt Howard chatted with Yiyang while shooting.
"Don't worry, I will take care of him. Concentrate, basketball will be in your hands at any time." Yiyang Chong Matt Howard cocked his mouth. He might not have thought that he would become friends with this big white man who had quarreled with him.
The players on both sides are warming up nervously, and the on-site commentators are also in place.
Reggie Miller, the former NBA superstar was sent to the scene by TN.T TV today to take on the interpretation work. It can also be seen how much TN.T TV station attaches importance to this game.
In addition, the NCAA also added a Chinese commentary seat to the scene this year. Although there is no NCAA live broadcast in China, the huge crowd of Chinese international students in the United States is also a big piece of cake that NCAA does not want to let go. The addition of the Chinese commentary will undoubtedly make Yiyang's game more Chinese people's attention.
"The brightest star player in Butler's college team is their forward Gordon Hayward, who averaged 15.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, allowing this second-year white player to prepare before the NCAA tournament started. Attention. Prior to this, his predicted draft prospects were probably only in the second round position. But now, Hayward will have the opportunity to enter the lottery zone in one fell swoop!" Reggie Miller did not waste time, but started. Introduce the players from both sides and warm up for their commentary work later.
"As for the other weapon of Butler University, no, it's not Shelvin Mark. Although Mark is also very good, he has to admit that his tactical position in the hands of Coach Stevens has surpassed Mark's senior. This season, He is also the person who averaged the most assists per game among all NCAA players. The 9.5 assists data makes him unbeatable. In this era when small players like to take the ball and do it alone, it is undoubtedly a good interpretation. The meaning of the word point guard. Okay! We saw that the players on both sides have finished their warm-ups. Coach Stevens and Coach Barnes are making final deployments to the team! Audience friends, the fierce March Madness Championship, right away begin!"
The scene was overwhelmed by the roar of the fans. The NCAA tournaments are all played on neutral courts, so you can hardly tell which side the fans support. It is possible that neither of them will support it. These people who love basketball just want to enjoy a feast.
"Remember! To prevent the Longhorns from breaking through, you can let them shoot, but you must not let them threaten the rim! Be tough! Hit me hard! These guys dare to break into the penalty area, you make him look good!" Stevens had to raise his throat to let the players hear what he was saying.
As a huge electronic buzzer sounded, Stevens patted the starters on the ass, urging them to get on the court.
Yiyang looked around him, March Crazy, even if it was only the first round of the game, the atmosphere of the game was almost the same as the NBA scene he saw on TV.
But Ling Yiyang was surprised that in the stands, there were many signs holding up a large number "1" and "YI" on them. This is the first time that Yiyang has played basketball for so many years and has seen supportive fans outside the home court.
There was a warmth in the cold boy's heart. Basketball is getting more and more interesting.
The players on both sides stood up according to their positions. Dexter Pittman's "Roshan" looks like it is exactly twice the size of Matt Howard. The eyes of Hayward and Mike James also sparked.
Yiyang looked up at the other side, and found that Bradley was also looking at himself with a serious face. The game hasn't started yet, and both sides are determined to fight to the death!
The referee blew his whistle and the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee. Under the cheers of the fans, Matt Howard touched the pad and the basketball flew into Yiyang's hands.
Although Pittman is superior in height, his excessive weight and poor athletic ability make him hardly able to jump.
Yiyang did not hesitate after catching the ball and immediately started the sprint! On the opposite side, Bradley, wearing an orange number zero jersey, hurriedly moved. These two head guards started a duel from the very first second of the game!
Yiyang's sudden attack did not catch Bradley by surprise. This guy's keen traverse ability allowed him to properly seal Yiyang's breakthrough route.
Yiyang had to slow down and slow down the rhythm, so he didn't bump his head. This guy is indeed well-deserved!
Bradley's timely blocking made the Bulldogs' sudden attack vanished, and Yiyang had to wait until his teammates were seated and slowly grappled with the Longhorns.
During this period, Bradley has been inseparable in front of Yiyang. This guy neither rushed forward to steal, nor gave Yiyang room to sprint. His defensive position is very mature, fulfilling the evaluation of Celtics coach Doug Rivers.
Yiyang took a look at his front. Gordon Hayward and Shelvin Mark were still looking for opportunities by running without the ball, while Willie Wesley and Matt Howard were doing pick-and-rolls without the ball.
When Hayward ran out of position according to the tactics, Yiyang suddenly started to pass the ball. He saw the opportunity!
However, what Ling Yiyang didn't expect was that Bradley actually judged his intention to pass the ball! This short and stout guy reached out for a block, so Yiyang had to increase the arc of the pass.
Although the ball was successfully passed, due to Bradley's interference, the ball did not follow the trajectory expected by Yiyang.
At this moment, Mike James, the small forward who relied on his athletic ability to cross the NCAA arena suddenly exerted his strength, before Hayward, he touched Yiyang's pass!
"It's a mistake! There was a mistake in Yi's first pass!" Reggie Miller spread his hands, and most people on the scene, including Stevens, also grew their mouths.
For a point guard with very few turnovers, a turnover occurred on the first ball in the opening game, which they had never thought of before.
Mike James did not hesitate after stealing, and immediately launched a conversion attack. The athletic ability of the University of Texas Longhorns is indeed much better than that of the Bulldogs, which is why Stevens asks the players to keep their shots.
Hayward tried to catch up behind Mike James, while Yiyang was inseparable from Bradley. It seems that the Longhorns team did not have any decent chances for this ball.
However, Mike James actually directly resisted Hayward's chase, facing Yiyang who was under the supplementary defense, so he jumped up and layup!
In the air, Mike James and Yiyang collided violently, Yiyang flew directly out of the bottom line, and Mike James also deformed in the air. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
However, for Mike James, who has plenty of energy and is accustomed to forced layups in the air, none of these obstacles can stop him!
I saw Mike James twisting his body in the air and throwing the basketball onto the backboard. Hayward leaped forward, but missed the basketball by a millimetre with his palm.
The orange basketball lightly hit the backboard, then bounced back into the frame. With the first goal in the opening game, the Longhorns took the lead in scoring in a way that they were very good at!
"How do you say? The longhorns actually don't have a good chance. But Mike James, he is the kind of player who is good at throwing himself into the air and fighting in chaos. As for Bradley, everyone has seen it. If it weren't for him, it's very likely that he wouldn't make a mistake at all. I have to say that the Big Ten champion is in real trouble today!" Reggie Miller was a little disappointed because he thought Yiyang Performance will be better.
Yiyang on the court took Hayward's forearm and stood up again.
"My wrong buddy, my fault!" Yiyang gritted his teeth, seeming to be very dissatisfied with his performance just now.
"Hey, it's okay man, this is the first goal..."
"No! I promise, buddy, this kind of thing won't happen again!" Yiyang categorically interrupted Hayward's speech, and then waited for Hayward to give the baseline ball.
Over there, Bradley is proudly high-fiving Mike James to celebrate. And Yiyang, who was dissatisfied with his performance, was ready to raise his Thor's hammer and draw a yellow lightning bolt on the court!
Stevens was still standing calmly on the sidelines, he saw Yiyang's expression, and saw Yiyang's scorching eyes. Perhaps, for this game, the opening error may not be a bad thing...
