When Yiyang scored the key three-pointer and ended the first half match between the two sides, all the commentators were surprised to grow their mouths.
Even a team as strong as Duke could not stop Yiyang from performing his crazy performance. Coach K is eager to make Yiyang foul again, but after returning to the field, Yiyang not only did not foul, but even shot and passed to chase the 10 points difference to only 1 point!
Mu Ran raised the camera and took several photos of Yiyang in succession. On the field, everyone else on the Bulldogs team came up to high-five Yiyang. Being able to lead the team to launch a Jedi counterattack with Hayward off the court, Yiyang has now become a well-deserved core!
Everyone knows that if the first half of the game is more than one minute, Duke may not even be able to keep this advantage.
It seemed that Duke, who held the lead, was more nervous than Butler. The Blue Devils one by one with their heads hung down and followed the old coach K into the player aisle. As for the stands, the blue "waves" had already been surging.
"It's incredible Reggie, we thought that Duke was already in control of the game. Unexpectedly, the appearance of also disrupted the old K coach's plan. To win the game, they must work harder." Rees Webber really likes the No. 1 guard now. The ability to change the game is not something everyone has.
"Yi's performance is really wonderful. Coach K might not have thought that this Chinese would cause them such a big trouble. But in the second half of the game, I believe coach K will make more deployments for YI and the Bulldogs. In other words, the greater challenge has just begun!" Reggie Miller's rhetoric ended the first half of the battle between the two sides.
Now, all basketball fans are already excited. Just now, the Bulldogs, a team that was originally little-known, could almost overturn the giant Duke to the ground! Maybe today, will it really become a legendary day?
"Pick-and-roll change defense! Can't give him any free movement! Block his passing route, and at the same time always have a defensive player in front of him! It is also the brain of the Bulldogs. As long as the brain is paralyzed, we can win the game smoothly. Give me a little harder, the other party is just a first-year rookie! I don't care if he is going to the NBA, and I don't care if people like him or not. I only know that this guy's performance must end here!" Old K With the violent roar in the locker room, the originally good situation was completely wiped out because of the appearance of Yiyang.
Under the anger of the old K, no one of Duke's players dared to relax in the second half of the game.
After fifteen minutes, the players from both sides finally returned to the court. The much-anticipated NCAA March Madness Championship finals have entered the final moments!
Duke, who kicked the ball first, had a bad hand as soon as he came on the court. Kyle Singler's shot from beyond the three-point line was interrupted by Hayward, and he knocked out of the box.
Looking back at the Bulldogs, Hayward, who was fully rested in the first half of the game, is now full of energy. The physical strength is also very helpful to the stability of the player's shooting.
Yiyang didn't even need to break through this time, he waited until Hayward himself ran out of the open and passed the ball directly. Hayward's ability to catch the ball and shoot is very good. Before Singler, who was a little slow, he had already shot.
The basketball quickly flies to the hoop and hits the red heart directly. After being frustrated for so long, the Bulldogs finally completed the overtake!
However, Duke, who is also eager for victory and championship, is not to be outdone. Hayward had just scored a goal, and Kyle Singler used the pick-and-roll to make a calm shot from outside the three-point line.
The basketball did not pop up like the previous round, but fell straight into the net. Singler, the white forward, after being scored by Hayward, quickly came up with his own response ball!
In the subsequent game, the two sides still refused to give in to each other. With less and less time in the game, the physical contact between the two sides has increased. Because the two teams have the best defensive lineups and the defensive intensity is quite large, the offense of the two teams has not been able to really open up.
This situation continued until the last two minutes of the game. As Sheyer broke through the basket and caused a foul by Matt Howard, Duke once again stood on the free throw line.
Sheyer's performance at critical moments is always very stable, and today is no exception. The defender made two free throws steadily before the free throw line, and officially widened the point difference to 5 points with only two minutes left in the game!
At this time, Yiyang, who received the ball from the bottom line, obviously felt a little tired. He didn't take a long break in the second half of the game, and the intensity of the game was far greater than all previous games. The physical exertion is destined to be quite huge.
But the number one guard did not give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to run towards Duke's defense like a bronze wall with the ball.
Coach K's practice of increasing physical confrontation against Yiyang has indeed achieved some results. Although Yiyang's antagonism was not as weak as it could be, it was by no means good.
This time, Nolan Smith did not change his defensive strategy. Instead, he pressed himself to defend Yiyang when he reached the three-point line, putting pressure on Yiyang as much as possible.
Yiyang, panting, hurriedly guarded the basketball, this kind of critical moment must not make a mistake! Yiyang held Nolan Smith with one hand and dribbled the ball with the other, but his eyes were observing the running position of his teammates.
Shervin Mark's sudden escape gave him a little space. Yiyang looked at Mark's position and was about to pass the ball, but suddenly kicked on his leg. His eyes were just an illusion. Yiyang's goal was to break through!
This unexpected acceleration made Nolan Smith half a position behind Yiyang. But he is not worried, someone will make up for it later!
In the face of Sheyer who came to reinforce the defense and crossed in front of him, Yiyang still had no intention of slowing down. Sheyer is already standing on his feet, if Yiyang runs rampant, he can still deceive an offensive foul!
The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, and when the difference was only a few inches, Yiyang suddenly turned around with Sheyer as the axis at high speed!
Sheyer was taken aback for a moment, and in the next second, the Yiyang people were gone.
After turned around, Yiyang raised his arm and picked the basket. The basketball crossed Brian Zubek's fingertips, hit the backboard, and then bounced back into the net!
"Good goal! Also reduced the point difference, the Bulldogs still have a chance!" With a time of 50 seconds and a gap of 3 points, Reggie Miller knew that this was a game that was destined to be uncommon!
Ten seconds later, the Bulldog made a comeback. This time, Yiyang directly used an ultra-long hit to pass the ball through the crowd and bounced back into Matt Howard's hands.
Everyone admires Yiyang's profound passing skills. This kind of ultra-long-distance ground pass is usually only passed by the top NBA point guards. But Yiyang did it all by hand.
Matt Howard had Zubek defending after receiving the basketball, but the tough-faced Matt got up directly, and was struck by Zubek's collision in the air, making it difficult to get the ball!
"Yeah!" The blue crowd was completely boiling, they raised their arms in the stands, and Yiyang's mother was among them.
There is only one point difference, and the Bulldogs and Yiyang once again stand at the crossroads of destiny.
Basketball fans across the United States dare not blink, a living legend is very likely to be born in this half a minute!
Nolan Smith found that he was a little nervous, his heart beating speed absolutely exceeded normal when he controlled the ball. What this black point guard doesn't know is that his nervousness makes his ball control full of loopholes!
Yiyang is like a lion that has already stared at its prey. After Nolan Smith, the "prey" approached him, Yiyang sprinted and stabbed the basketball in Nolan Smith's hands!
Since Yiyang started too suddenly, after stabbing the basketball, Yiyang staggered and was about to fall.
At this time, Yiyang simply pounced and pressed the basketball under him. Stevens immediately called a timeout to keep the ball!
"God! In the last 28 seconds, the Bulldogs, one point behind, won the ball! The story in the movie "Ambition on the Field" is likely to be successfully reproduced by the blacked Butler!" Reggie Miller himself He has created countless desperate moments, but as a commentator, he also clenched his fists nervously!
"Screening for Gordon! We need to give him a chance! Gordon! Take the ball and shoot and execute the final blow! We are going to win, Duke is no longer good! Hold on for a while, we are going to win the championship! "Stevens drew the tactical board nervously. On the other hand, coach K is also not easy.
Soon, the tense game resumed. Matt Howard was unable to serve the ball for a long time under the interference of the higher Zubek! Stevens had no choice but to call a second timeout in a row, which was also the last timeout in his hand!
After some arrangement, Matt Howard finally got his wish and passed the basketball to Yiyang.
Yiyang gestured to all his teammates to pull away. Old K stood on the sidelines nervously, he thought Yiyang was going to look at singles!
However, after a successful breakthrough, Yiyang suddenly made a pass to the left after attracting the defense. Hayward, who received the basketball, got the chance to kill the game. Just like Stevens arranged, he took the ball and shot!
But it's not just the Bulldogs who are eager to win the championship. The Duke Blue Devils also cannot accept defeat. So Brian Zubek, the "cap madman" who had contracted the basket, jumped out in two strides. With the advantage of his height and arm length, he forcibly fanned the basketball that Hayward had thrown out. go back!
"No!" The Bulldogs fans in the stands hugged their heads, and some fans even blindfolded themselves, afraid to see what happened on the field.
Nolan Smith received the fanned basketball, Yiyang did not hesitate, and immediately rushed to hug Nolan Smith. Tactical foul, this is Yiyang's only choice!
"Brian Zubek's blocking almost shattered Butler's championship dream! Now the Bulldogs have no timeout, and Duke has to make two free throws! If Nolan Smith makes two free throws, then the Bulldogs will Will be behind by three points! Duke in the last ten seconds can be said to be firmly in control of the game!"
With the yelling of the commentator and the deafening booing of the fans, Nolan Smith stood on the free throw line under tremendous pressure.
The boos in the Lucas Stadium made Smith feel that the hardwood floor under his feet seemed to be shaking. Moreover, he was so exhausted by Yiyang that he could no longer make a steady move.
On the first penalty, the basketball bounced on the hoop several times before it fell into the net in a thrilling manner.
On the second penalty, Nolan Smith exhaled. He raised the basketball, pressed his wrists, and moved his fingers...
"Damn!" Nolan Smith secretly exclaimed, the rhythm of this shot does not seem to be perfect.
The basketball hit the front of the hoop, then straddled the center of the hoop and hit the neck of the hoop. After bouncing twice on the neck of the basket, the basketball fell off the hoop!
"Missed the second free throw! Nolan Smith missed, he left a glimmer of life for the Bulldogs!" Reggie Miller could no longer contain the excitement in his heart. He was looking forward to it. A miracle happened!
Matt Howard did not hesitate to protect the defensive rebound and found Yiyang directly!
Yiyang speeds up with the ball, a change of direction before passing Singler who is about to intercept him. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com faced Sheyer's uproar, Yiyang used a beautiful turn to avoid perfectly!
"Stop him! Stop him!" Coach K yelled nervously off the court. He was now anxious to rush to the court to stop the number one of the Bulldogs.
No one can stop Yiyang, crossing the opponent's entire line of defense alone, is Yiyang's specialty.
Seeing Yiyang is about to pass Duke's last line of defense, power forward Lance Thomas. Everyone thinks that overtime is inevitable!
However, Yiyang suddenly took a step back after breaking into the three-point line! Lance Thomas did not expect Yiyang's sudden stop and retreat. Before forcibly changing his center of gravity, he threw himself down, and he fell in embarrassment without explaining his feet!
"Also knocked down Lance Thomas, this guy, he shot directly outside the three-point line! Don't overtime, he wants to kill the game directly!" Reggie Miller's voice changed the fans in front of the TV. The blood boiled over.
Yiyang shot directly from outside the three-point line. He knew he was not good at three-pointers, but he also believed in the results of his hard training for a season. This Chinese boy who came from the Wood District shot the most important goal in his life so far. Throw it, the last goal of his NCAA career!

"It's over! It's over!" After that, she heard Reggie Miller yell frantically.
