"Whirring whirring..."
There was no noise in the quiet locker room, except for the rapid breathing of the players, which made Stevens heard clearly.
The cruel stage of March Madness is a test of the comprehensive ability of the team and the players. There is no doubt that the intensity of the game is also a big problem for the players' physical fitness to reach the position of the Sweet 16.
The fierce game in the first half really made the fans in the stands addicted. But for the players, the 20-minute confrontation made them exhausted.
Stevens hasn't spoken since he walked into the locker room. He just hoped that his players could rest for a while, even if they rested for a second.
Among these, Yiyang's consumption is undoubtedly the biggest. As the core of the Bulldogs team today, Yiyang only had a short four-minute break in the first half of the game. And when he is on the court, he often has to use his own speed to attack Syracuse University's defense.
As long as he is on the court, Yiyang will run with all his strength without stopping. The opportunities that Shelvin Mark got were all made by Yiyang.
Hayward is still deeply blaming himself for his poor performance, and Shelvin Mark is thinking about how to share the pressure of Yiyang through his personal offense. Where is Stevens? He struggled with how to allocate the players' playing time in the second half of the game.
As for Yiyang, this guy is not willing to think about anything except rest. Only by recovering as much as possible of their physical fitness can they continue to perform well in the second half of the game.
"Five minutes! In the second half of the game, I can only give you a five-minute break at most! Mark! When Yiyang is away..."
"Three minutes! I have a three-minute rest!" Before Stevens could finish, Yiyang threw away the towel covering his head and pointed three fingers at Stevens.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yiyang. This taciturn guy usually nodded silently when listening to the coach's arrangement. But today, he put forward different opinions for the first time in history.
Yiyang really wants to win, don't look at his cold appearance, as if he doesn't care about anything, but this guy hasn't liked losing since he was a child. He knows that if he gets off the court, the Bulldogs' offense will be greatly affected. It's not that Yiyang has no confidence in his teammates, but that Hayward's state today is in front of everyone.
1 of 6 shots in the first half and only scored 2 points, relying on such Hayward, the Bulldogs can not win.
"Can you make it to the end of the game?" Stevens changed his tone, and he seemed to have compromised!
"In order to win, there is nothing you can't do!" The eyes of the boy from the Wood District were full of raging fire. Finally, there was an opportunity to escape the slums, but Yiyang did not want all these beautiful things to be interrupted.
"Well, in the first three minutes of the second half, you should rest off the court. Gordon, continue to put pressure on Wesley in the second half. Listen, Wesley is a team player, and his individual singles ability is not Not strong! I need you to isolate Wesley Johnson. Never let him get the ball easily. If he gets the ball, either force him to shoot directly, or don't give him a chance to pass again!" Stevens With a big red cross drawn on Wesley's name, Johnson is best at throwing the ball, not attacking with the ball. If the Bulldogs can make Wesley misfire in the second half, and Yiyang continues to maintain firepower. Victory is not impossible!
Mu Ran worked **** the basketball court to recall the half-court that just ended. Others only saw Yiyang's wonderful fast break dunks, highly ornamental pass and well-organized offense. But Mourin found that this number one played longer than every previous game.
Affected by physical fitness, whether it is Wesley or Yiyang, it is difficult for them to maintain their momentum in the first half. Mourin is a little worried, because the physical fitness of Asian players has always been a very headache. Will Yiyang run so desperately in the first half to overdraw his stamina in advance?
Just as Mouran was thinking about it, the scene suddenly became agitated. The reporter suddenly looked up, and on the court, the energetic cheerleaders began to withdraw, which means that the battle in the second half of the game is about to start!
When the Bulldogs players came back on the field, Jim Boheim couldn't help frowning. Ronald Norrid, the backup point guard, is on the court at the moment preparing to receive the baseline kick. In the first half of the game, Yiyang, who disturbed Syracuse University's chickens and dogs, sat on the bench and watched.
"Physical fitness!" Boheim knew at once Stevens' intention to press Yiyang on the bench. The Asian defender must be overwhelmed at the moment, so Stevens had to replace him.
"Seize the opportunity! Give me a quicker pace of the game. We need to get points quickly and get points quickly!" Boheim shouted at the players already on the court. No matter how long Yiyang will sit on the court, Boheim does not intend to waste.
Taking advantage of Yiyang's absence, Boheim wanted his team to score as much as possible. If Stevens replaces Yiyang in advance, then Yiyang's physical fitness will be very problematic. If Stevens does not move, then Syracuse University will widen the point difference before Yiyang enters the field!
Based on this consideration, Syracuse University accelerated the pace of the game from the beginning of the second half.
On the first goal of the opening, Shelvin Mark passed a good ball, allowing Hayward, who cut inside, to make a direct layup.
But today, when everything went wrong, Hayward even had an accident for a layup. Wright Philips, who was extremely excited, slammed Hayward's layup.
Wesley Johnson grabbed the basketball, but this time, Syracuse University did not slowly advance and wait for the battle, but immediately ran back and launched a fast attack!
The offense of the Bulldogs has just begun, and they have to follow the rhythm of Syracuse University to make a back-and-forth run. Stevens gritted his teeth, the old fox Boheim didn't plan to give himself a chance!
"My fault, blame me!" After Wesley Johnson made an easy layup, Hayward picked up the basketball and raised his hands to admit his mistake.
But now, what the Bulldogs need is real scoring. If Hayward can't find the status, no matter how good his attitude is, it won't help.
The Bulldogs attacked for the second time. Shelvin Mark relied on a strong body to squeeze into the basket and force a layup. This tough captain won the praise of the fans, but Stevens knew that the game could not last forever.
After , the Bulldogs players successfully implemented Stevens's arrangement. Wesley Johnson found that even if he just wanted to catch the ball, it was very difficult. Instead of being discouraged, Hayward, who is offensively unfavorable, hopes to make up for his offensive shortcomings with defense.
Willy Warren waited for Wesley to run several times before finally seizing the opportunity to give the ball away. Wesley Johnson took the ball and shot, and Hayward, who already knew the rhythm of Wesley's shooting, blocked it in time.
The defense of this ball was done quite well, but it's a pity that Johnson's feel today and Hayward are two extremes. How cold is Hayward, how hot Wesley is!
"Defensively makes a shot! Wesley Johnson is really good!"
Seeing Johnson still score goals under such a high-pressure defense, Stevens didn't feel much upset. When the game is at the end, he will have to see if Syracuse No. 4 can score this goal!
Time passed by minute and second, and Syracuse University, which accelerated the pace, gradually gained the upper hand.
"Coach!" Just when Stevens was at a loss, Yiyang who was next to him suddenly called himself.
Stevens looked up and looked at the big screen. There were 17 minutes left for the game to end, and Yiyang's 3-minute rest time had come.
"Let me play, I promise you to come back with a victory!"
Stevens glanced at Yiyang and was taken aback.
"Pause! Pause!" The young marshal suddenly stood up and yelled at the referee. He decided to replace him immediately! Just now, Stevens saw a restless champion's heart!
"The Bulldogs called a timeout, and it looks like they are already overwhelmed! Last year, Butler University stopped here. Isn't Coach Stevens able to break the sweet 16 spell!"
"Oh, dying to struggle!" Boheim looked at the 8-point advantage and the nervously arranged tactics of Stevens. He really couldn't think of what this timeout could bring to the Bulldogs~www.mtlnovel.com~ The old man may not have noticed that Wesley Johnson behind him, his chest has begun to rise and fall violently.
Yiyang looked at the five teammates who had just left the field. They were all gasped by the fast pace of Syracuse University. After a while, he will lead the second team to fight with the opponent for a while. If you can't stand it during this time, Yiyang knows that his March crazy journey may end here.
The No. 1 guard stood up. No one liked him when he was playing before, and Yiyang naturally didn't have any sense of collective honor at all.
But now, Yiyang looked at his teammates. This feeling, these feelings of wishing for victory are not only for themselves, but also for the people who have been fighting with him until now!
Just when everyone was drinking Gatorade, Yiyang suddenly opened his hand and placed it among everyone.
He didn't speak, and he still had no expression. But this action is still maintained.
was the first Hayward to see what Yiyang wanted to do. He quickly threw away the paper cup in his hand and put his hand on it.
After , it was Shelvin Mark, Matt Howard, Willie Wesley... After a while, everyone piled their hands on Yiyang.
Yiyang still did not speak. If he said something impassioned in front of so many people, then he would not be Yiyang.
Mark knew Yiyang's character, so as the captain, he helped Yiyang to speak up.
"one two Three..."
"Bulldog!" Yiyang violently used force. At this moment, he felt his whole body full of strength and blood!
The No. 1 guard stepped into the court with a fierce expression and hooked his finger to the bench of the opposite Oranges.
Seventeen minutes later, I will take away the victory!
