As soon as the game started, the Wildcats gave the Bulldogs and their fans a very big "meeting ceremony" in Indianapolis. Cole Aldridge's hands vigorously hung the frame, which boosted the morale of the Wildcats in the away game. The first goal of this "cat and dog war" was very exciting.
"Show them some color!"
"Go on, see that kid can't smile!"
"Knock them home!"
However, a wonderful dunk did not discourage the fans against the Bulldogs. The group of people wearing blue T-shirts shouted loudly from the stands. This year they have made a historic break into the final four, and now they don't want to kill another Kansas.
Wildcats starting point guard Mike Daniels dare not stick to Yiyang. This guy who is relatively mediocre in all aspects knows that he is not Yiyang's opponent at all for speed.
Yiyang is not in a hurry to make a breakthrough. Cole Aldridge in the three-second zone of the Wildcats is a good shot blocker. If you rush in, you will only serve as a background for others.
Yiyang waited for his teammates to run, Hayward ran fast, and Chao Yiyang leaned in. It seems that Yiyang and Hayward want to play a hand-to-hand cooperation at the top of the arc of the three-point line.
"A hand between the outside and the outside? What medicine does Coach Stevens sell in the gourd?" Chris Webber stared at the court intently. He knew that even if it seemed ridiculous, Stevens Both have his own plan.
Hayward quickly approached, while Yiyang turned sideways and held the ball in one hand, waiting for Hayward to take it away. There is no doubt that when Hayward gets the ball, Yiyang will do a pick-and-roll for him on the spot. Therefore, Mike Daniels, who was originally in front of Yiyang, moved his footsteps slightly, and he must be ready to make up for defense at any time!
The two quickly met. Just as Hayward was about to reach out and take the ball away, Yiyang suddenly retracted the basketball and accelerated instantly.
"咻!"
Mike Daniels looked at Hayward, he didn't have a basketball at all! And Yiyang has already entered the inside line by surprise!
"This whole tactic is a scam! There is no hand-in-hand at all. Coach Stevens just hopes to create an opportunity to accelerate the breakthrough!"
Yiyang's breakthrough made the fans in the stands boiled, but Cole Aldridge, who has just made the limelight, will not let Yiyang easily succeed.
Cole took a step forward and didn't even give Yiyang the opportunity to cast a shot. Yiyang was not afraid, and took off directly against the 2.11 meter Cole Aldridge!
"Go to **** brat!" The fierce white center yelled and slammed his arm.
Yiyang unhurriedly retracted the raised basketball in the air, and then used his long arms around Cole Aldridge's waist and sent the ball out.
Since Cole is also defending, Matt Howard was left behind by Cole. Yiyang almost handed the ball to Matt Howard. In the face of such a good opportunity, Matt Howard didn't want Yiyang to be disappointed.
This white center rushed to the ground before Cole Aldridge took off and dunked with the ball. A dunk with the same force and heavy hands made the stands shout into one!
"Pretty! This is the real tooth for a tooth!" Chris Weber waved his fist. Yiyang, this kid, is really not easy!
You dunk a goal with both hands, then I will let our team's center also dunk a goal with both hands! Not everyone can send a response ball like Yiyang.
"Damn it." Cole Aldridge reluctantly picked up the basketball on the ground. Just now, if he didn't defend himself, Yiyang would also get an open shot.
The Wildcats' defense failure is not to blame for Cole. When Yiyang successfully broke through, the Wildcats' defense had already failed.
"It's okay, keep playing steadily, the game has just begun!" Wildcats coach Marvin Scott yelled at the players from the sidelines. Yiyang's impact will not only cause the team to lose points, but also greatly damage morale. He must let the players know through his roar that nothing has changed.
On the other side of the court, Xavier Henry had already thrown off Shelvin Mark through a quick back run.
Mark didn't expect the other party to start so early, so his attention was a little less concentrated. And this moment of trance was enough for Xavier Henry to find an opportunity for himself.
Henry raised his hand for the ball, Mike Daniels, who had just passed the center line, slammed it, and the basketball quickly came to the horn on the left side of the basket.
Henry didn't hesitate, he took the ball and shot. This strong guy is not as overly dependent on breakthroughs as others. He has a very stable shot and a quick shot.
When Shelvin Mark arrived, the basketball in Henry's hand was already flying towards the hoop.
"A very fast conversion and attack! When everyone is still thinking about the goal, Henry has begun to look for opportunities. A three-pointer! As expected of the Kansas Wildcats' first scoring point, Xavier Henry gave the ball again. The team took the lead."
"Mark! What are you doing? Focus on the court! If you still want to play against Duke in the final!" Stevens did not allow any accidents on the team today. All have reached the final semi-finals, and they must not just be out!
Mark raised his right hand apologetically. Although Henry is a team player, his ability to create opportunities for himself is also not for Xiao Xu.
But before Marvin Scott was happy, Yiyang used a pass to assist Hayward to hit a three-pointer.
Shervin Mark, who was active on the right, was very active with this ball, and Yiyang did pass the ball in the direction of Mark. However, when the basketball was passed out, everyone found that the ball was actually flying in the opposite direction of Yiyang's eyes!
Hayward, who felt very bad in the last game, did not continue to be in a downturn today. He steadily hit the ball and the two sides tied again.
"This is the final semi-finals! The game will be very anxious from the beginning until the last second!" Reggie Miller is ready. Whether it is for commentators or players, this is a protracted battle!
In the five minutes after , the two sides really fought a tug of war. Xavier Henry and Cole Aldridge used the power of the team to be a fish in water on the offensive end.
Shervin Mark's disadvantage in height allows Xavier Henry to always complete some difficult shots. And Cole Aldridge was even more upset on the inside. Stevens was a little worried about whether Matt, who was slightly thin, would be injured by the strong Cole.
Similarly, Hayward's precise projection and Yiyang's sharp breakthrough also made the Wildcats unable to cope. Yiyang can always find gaps in the field. His passing vision reminds Chris Weber of his former teammate "White Chocolate" Jason Williams. No, this kid's assists are more deadly than "White Chocolate"!
Until the players in the rotation began to slowly play, neither of the two sides gained a substantial advantage. Everyone thought that the first half of the game would be spent so calmly, and in the last two minutes of the first half, Stevens suddenly replaced Yiyang again, making everyone unprepared!
"Ronald Norrid is off. It looks like he is a little overwhelmed on the court today. Although this junior guard has a lot of experience, it was his first experience in the Final Four in the end. The person who replaced him was... .... Yes! God, coach Stevens has been replaced again. We all thought the Bulldogs' starting lineup would rest until the second half, but obviously, Coach Stevens didn't want to bring such a situation. Entering the second half of the game!" Reggie Miller shouted loudly, making everyone excited.
"What the hell?" Marvin Scott glanced at Stevens with his hands around his chest. Isn't this guy planning to use Yiyang in the second half of the game? Sending Yiyang up at this time will only increase his physical burden!
"Stop him for me! I will stop him no matter what you use! Give me to consume him!" Marvin. Scott yelled aloud, since Stevens is going to fight like this, don't blame him for being rude!
Frequent physical contact, fighting fierceness. This is the most intuitive change that has occurred on the court after Yiyang returned. Although the opposing guard's pressing defense made it easy for Yiyang to complete the breakthrough, when he layup, the opponent's backup center did not hesitate to knock Yiyang out of the bottom line to prevent him from attacking. In short, they just don't want Yiyang to score smoothly.
"Yi's breakthrough is very beautiful! He made a direct layup! No, Darius Jackson, this black power forward violently knocked Yi. God, this is the third time that Yi has been violated."
Yiyang slammed back to the ground, and there was already a very obvious bruise on his left arm. The commentary and fans can't see it just because the lights are too strong.
The Bulldogs players have already ran towards Yiyang, but Yiyang did not wait for others to help him. He gritted his teeth and got up on his own.
Darius Jackson stared at Yiyang fiercely, but Yiyang responded with a more terrifying look.
Now, Jackson looked away unnaturally. Although it was Yiyang who fell again and again, this yellow-skinned lunatic seemed to never stop attacking no matter how violently he was hit.
Faced with a desperado, the person who felt a little hairy in his heart turned into a player of the Wildcats.
"Damn it!" Stevens clenched his fists and stood on the sidelines. If he knew this, he would not send Yiyang up. In order to have a good start to the second half, Stevens didn't want to lose his point guard.
On the basketball court, Yiyang made two free throws. The number one seemed to be unaffected by the collision or violation. But only Yiyang knew how painful he was!
"Six points~www.mtlnovel.com~ also used his own suicidal breakthrough to give the Bulldogs a six-point lead. But for these six points, is the price too high?" Reggie Miller It can be seen that the players of the Wildcats are deliberately so fierce. If Yiyang doesn't fall down for a moment, they will be more fierce! Fortunately, with only 32 seconds left in the game, Yiyang's suffering time is almost over.
Just as the Wildcats' backup point guard was dribbling the ball from the three-point line to delay time, Yiyang suddenly rushed forward and cut off his basketball.
The number one guard is already sweating profusely, but he is still gnawing his teeth. The guy who was snatched by Yiyang was also unwilling to follow him!
Compared with speed, of course he is not better than Yiyang. Yiyang quickly entered the penalty area and tried his best to take off, hoping to end the first half of the game with a dunk and an eight-point lead. However, the furious opponent's point guard directly stretched out his hands, stunned that he hugged Yiyang, who had already risen into the air, and smashed it to the ground!
"Swipe!" The basketball is still in the net.
"Beep beep!" A rapid whistle sounded.
"Boom!" Yiyang was directly hit on the hardwood floor. This time, he did not suddenly stand up.
"Wildcats No. 3, malicious foul! Deported!" The referee did not show mercy, this action has touched his bottom line.
"I didn't mean it!" The Wildcats backup point guard also defended himself in front of the referee.
"You **** didn't mean it!" A fierce roar came from behind the No. 3 guard. He turned his head and was shocked.
Yiyang, who was already covered in blood, approached him with murderous intent in his eyes, he was like a wounded beast, he could tear this number 3 to pieces at any time!
The Wildcats backup point guard swallowed, yes, he regretted it...
