One Guard

Chapter 28 : Almost fame

“3! 2! 1!”

“Beep ” After the countdown of the fans, the electronic buzzer that represents the end of the game sounded. The 40-minute battle between Butler University and the University of Texas finally ended. At this moment, even Reggie Miller couldn’t help standing up and cheering for the Bulldogs.

is obviously playing in a neutral arena, Reggie Miller himself is just a neutral commentator. But at this moment, the entire stadium has long been conquered by the excellent performance of the Bulldogs.

“62 to 71, the Butler University Bulldogs defeated a strong opponent in the first round of the March Madness Championship, defeating the University of Texas led by Bradley by 9 points! Although Brad Leigh and the University of Texas performed very well this season, but now they are out, they have no chance to prove themselves a second time! Audience friends, this is March Madness!” Reggie Miller could not Not to make a summary of this wonderful game, but after thinking about it, he feels that the name Yiyang is the best interpretation of this game.

As expected, the director of TN.T TV station immediately inserted the highlights of Yiyang’s game. Through these lenses, you can almost see most of the best moments of the game.

Yiyang’s breakthroughs, dunks, layups, steals, assists…everything is mesmerizing and lingering.

A point guard who plays gorgeously but makes few turnovers is not visible everywhere. Kentucky has Wall, and now Butler University fans can proudly announce that they have Yiyang!

At the end of the game, Stevens waved his fist vigorously. In the past few days, all the hard work and depressed emotions have been fully released at this moment.

In order to study Bradley, to study Mike James, to study the entire Longhorns team, Stevens did not sleep well these days. Even when he returned home, he devoted most of his time to researching the video of the game.

But this time, the Bulldogs were not eliminated early. This time, everything Stevens did was worth the money! Of course, there is another reason why he is so happy. That was the genius he accidentally found last summer. Now, it must be popular in the United States!

“Good boy! You **** eclipsed Bradley!” On the basketball court, Bulldogs captain Shelvin Mark yelled and hugged Yiyang.

“Hahaha, I knew you could pass the ball, great!” Hayward, who has received the most assists from Yiyang, also joined it.

After 　　, more and more Bulldogs players gathered around, and they hugged Yiyang, making this number one point guard the focus of the field.

The photographer captured the protagonist Yiyang in the crevices of the crowd. What is surprising is that this cold boy who came out of the slum is grinning.

The feeling of winning with a teammate who likes you, who doesn’t like it?

Hayward, Mark, Matt Howard… The Bulldogs teammates are different from everyone else Yiyang met before. These guys really like themselves. And Yiyang is also willing to fight for such a collective.

Of course, and Brad Stevens. This coach who doesn’t care about skin color, only cares about the strength of a player, in fact, Yiyang respects him very much in his heart.

It’s just this boy who likes to defend others better than being close to others since he was a child. He doesn’t know how to express his inner thoughts. This bright smile today is Yiyang’s way of expressing his love.

Just after the Bulldogs players dispersed, Yiyang was stopped by an unfamiliar voice. He turned his head and found that it was Avery Bradley.

“Today you won, man. But we are not over yet! After the NBA, I will do my best to defeat you!” Bradley watched the celebrated Yiyang clenched his fists, Yiyang has not yet After landing in the Alliance, he has already encountered a difficult opponent.

Yiyang did not speak, but smiled and waved to Bradley, then turned and left. I accept your challenge!

At this time, countless reporters have already rushed into the court. March Madness has received no less attention than the NBA.

Yiyang, as the most dazzling player in this game, coupled with his special skin color, this guy naturally fell into the circle of reporters in an instant.

What is different from the past is that today, in addition to local reporters in the United States, Yiyang also found some basketball reporters from China who have the same skin color as himself!

Since Li Ning Company forwarded Yiyang’s game highlights to China, many fans and media in China now know Yiyang’s name. After Yiyang announced his participation in this year’s NBA Draft, his popularity soared.

In the past, it is not that Chinese players have played in the NCAA. But most of them just came overseas to gild, and the draft is out of reach for them.

Yiyang is different. As long as you have a relationship with the NBA, you will never lack attention in China. Now Yao Ming, who is troubled by injuries, is in a semi-retired state, and Yi Jianlian’s Nets, who are at the bottom of the league, are also playing and stopping. In this world’s highest level basketball arena, there is indeed a lack of Chinese people.

Therefore, when the domestic media heard that a Chinese who was about to participate in the draft was playing in the NCAA, they were like a group of sharks that smelled blood. They swam to the United States on the other side of the ocean and found the “prey of Yiyang”. “.

“Yiyang! When did you come to America?”

“Will you consider joining the national team?”

“Yiyang! Do you still retain Chinese nationality?”

In an instant, several reporters asked Yiyang several questions in Chinese. At that moment, Yiyang was a little dazed. Because in this land, in addition to his mother, he has almost forgotten what it feels like to communicate with people in Chinese.

“I…I came to the United States very early, I studied in the United States.” Yiyang replied hesitantly and accepted interviews in Chinese. This is the first time Yiyang has been in his life.

Although this is just a very common question, reporters from China are all nervously recording it one by one. Every word Yiyang says now will be big news when it reaches the country!

Even Joe Alexander, who has a little Chinese ancestry, could be the target of domestic hype, not to mention that now standing in front of reporters is a real Chinese!

“Yiyang! Hello, I’m Mu Ran, a reporter from China’s “Basketball” magazine! At present, your draft pick is predicted to be the 20th pick in the first round. Do you think that such a pick is in line with your strength? “After that, a gentleman with glasses squeezed in front of Yiyang.

Unlike other colleagues, this reporter only knows to ask some unnutritious questions His questions give Yiyang a desire to answer.

“It is not easy to rank 20th among so many excellent players, but I will continue to work hard, maybe I can change this number.” Yiyang’s cold expression when answering the question surprised Mu Ran.

If other Chinese kids talk about the NBA draft now, he will be very excited. In Yiyang, Mu Ran saw a steadiness that didn’t match his age. This guy didn’t get overwhelmed by entering the first round, but hoped to continue to improve his draft pick!

After all, Yiyang, who has worked hard in the Wood District since he was a child, is definitely different from other kids.

After 　　, Yiyang did not answer any questions from the reporters. He just wants to go back to the locker room, call his mother, and celebrate with his teammates.

Looking at Yiyang’s squeezing back, Mu Ran felt a little weird. A Chinese guard can squeeze into the first round of the NBA Draft. This kind of thing was unheard of before!

There are indeed a few big men in China who have played in the NBA, and both Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian have achieved great success. But this is the first time for a defender with such a high draft pick!

How will this guy behave after he enters the NBA? Will his appearance change the status quo of Chinese basketball?

Mu Ran is very interested in Yiyang, because this kid is either mediocre. Or, he will turn the Chinese basketball world upside down!

A victory in the March Madness Championship made Yiyang a true celebrity. But the No. 1 defender can’t just relax, becoming famous is not Yiyang’s goal.

The ambition of the Bulldogs is more than just a victory in a game.
