"Hey! Guys! Dear audience! The next match was the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, a showdown between the Marquette Golden Hawks and the Kentuckian Wildcats!”
In the studio, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith smiled at the camera.
T,N,T attached great importance to this Sweet Top 16 match, which was being broadcasted live across the United States. They had sent this golden pair to be the live commentator.
"There are many highlights in this game, but there is one player who is the focus of all the fans in front of the stadium and on TV!”
Barkley paused after he finished speaking. After retiring, the biggest pleasure of this bald fatty was to keep the audience in suspense.
After taking a deep breath, Barkley said loudly,""That's right. That's the strange double-double that scored 5 points, 10 rebounded and 10 steals in the last game, the center of the Kentucky-based Wildcats, Chuck-Hayes!”
"Hahahaha, stop fooling around, Charles! We all know who the player you're talking about is!”
Kenny Smith laughed and patted Barkley on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, please allow me to say it again! He was Zhang, who had scored an astonishing triple-double in the previous game…Yan!"
After showing off his sense of humor, Barkley shouted Zhang Yan's name at the camera.
"That's right! It was this guy! Some people said that he was a big-name magician, while others said that he was a big-name O with better athletic ability. In short, almost all the media had been talking about him in the past few days! To be honest, I can't wait to see his game!”
"For such a special player, I believe that no one would not look forward to his performance!”
"But the opponent he's going to face today is the top-seeded Kentuckian Wildcats, known for their iron-blooded defense!”
" Whether Zhang Yan continues his magical performance and leads the Marquette Golden Hawks to an upset, or the Kentuckian Wildcats use team basketball to defend the team's glory, let's wait and see!”
After the two of them made their introductions, the camera switched to the Houston Toyota Center.
The fans of both teams sat in their respective camps, wearing T-shirts to cheer for their respective home teams.
In addition to the hardcore fans of the two teams, there were also many neutral fans who came today. Some of them rushed to the stadium right after work, while others drove thousands of miles to the scene with their families.
These people only had one purpose, and that was to watch Zhang Yan play.
Previously, the media had labeled him with many labels, such as the highest point guard in history, the big magician, the biggest BUG in the NCAA, and so on.
These labels successfully attracted many interested fans.
After all, humans were curious creatures.
The fans wanted to see with their own eyes if Zhang Yan was as strong and talented as the reports said!
Many of the viewers who were watching the match on their televisions had the same mentality.
"Wildcat, you can do it! Destroy them!"
"Beat Marquet Golden Eagles! Victory belongs to us!"
" Marquet Golden Eagle will win!"
"Go ahead and do it! Win the competition!"
As the game approached, the cheers of the fans on both sides became louder and louder!
After a brief appearance ceremony, both teams started their appearances!
The Kentuckian Wildcats continued their previous lineup: Elvin Ralph, Borgans, Azubuk, Esteele, and Chalk Hayes.
This team's personnel configuration highlighted one word, and that was strange.
Captain and shooting guard Bogans were the team's biggest players, but he was only a blue-collar defensive player on the outside. It was difficult for him to enter the first round of the draft.
However, it was such a civilian team that became the number one seed in the division with a perfect record.
Among them, Tabby Smith, the black and fat manager nicknamed "Barrel", played an important role!
On the other side, Marquet's Golden Hawks 'starting lineup had a slight adjustment: Zhang Yan, Wade, Chris Eady, Steve Novak, Scott Merritt.
In order to break the highly mobile iron barrel defense of the Kitty Wildcats, the head coach of the Marquette Golden Hawks, Colin, promoted Novak to the starting lineup.
"Steve, why aren't you saying anything? Are you pretending to be an expert?”Looking at Novak, who hadn't spoken since the warm-up, Zhang Yan felt that he was a little abnormal today.
"I'm just nervous! Zhang, can't you see that my legs are shaking?”Novak was trembling when he opened his mouth.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's not the first time I've played.”
"It's different this time. Today's opponent is the top seed in the division!”
"Isn't that better? If we get rid of the top seed, we'll be the top seed.”
Zhang Yan said casually. Novak's eyes widened.
I'll be first just because I kill the first?
Good heavens, why didn't I think of this?
Zhang Yan's logic…It was a perfect score!
After a brief appearance ceremony, the game officially began with the thunderous cheers of the fans!
During the jump ball segment, Hayes twisted his neck and expanded his chest. He was ready to stand in the center circle.
She was dumbfounded.
Zhang Yan was standing in the center circle, representing the Marquette Golden Hawks!
This idea was brought up by Zhang Yan in the team meeting before the game.
Don't you guys like to have a short player inside?
Then we'll use the point guard to jump ball with you.
Zhang Yan wanted to use his aura to suppress his opponent at the beginning!
Hayes looked at Zhang Yan's height and wingspan…He could even run and jump, why would he fight for a hammer!
The referee whistled. Without even jumping, he ran straight to the defensive half.
Sneak away, sneak away
This scene made the audience laugh.
However, the laughter in the stadium had yet to end. Zhang Yan had already rushed into the paint with swift strides. Facing the empty defense, he made a one-handed slam dunk and took the lead for the team!
2：0。
What just happened?
It turned out that the moment the jump ball landed, Zhang Yan sped up in a straight line and took advantage of the fact that the Kitty Wildcats 'formation had yet to take shape. He didn't have the ball and went straight to the basket!
Wade understood and sent a long pass across the half court!
And that was the scene just now
By the time the players of the Kitty Wildcats reacted, Zhang Yan was already bumping chests with Wade in celebration!
Zhang Yan's jump ball tactic was not only to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum and gain a psychological advantage, but it was also a tactic that could quickly score two points in the opening!
Of course, this tactic was probably only used by the Marquette Golden Hawks in the entire NCAA. In the opening two seconds, Zhang Yan showed everyone his abnormal talent.
“WOW! Isn't this too fast?"
"One second, he was still jumping the ball, and the next second, he dunked!”
"He scored in less than two seconds!”
Amidst the cheers and heated discussions of the fans, the Kitty Wildcats attacked.
Unlike the opponents they had faced before, the attacking points of the Kitty Wildcats were very average.
The advantage of this lineup was that you couldn't completely contain their firepower, but the disadvantages were also obvious. It was difficult for such a team to have an end point at a critical time.
The Kentuckian Wildcats continued to make pick-and-roll passes. The perimeter players deliberately avoided Zhang Yan's defensive coverage area. In the end, Azubuk made a layup.
The score was 2:2.
The Marquette Golden Hawks started the ball at the baseline. Zhang Yan controlled the ball and passed through half the court while observing his teammates 'movements.
Obviously, the Kentuckian Wildcats had done their homework. Their small forward, Azubuk, was responsible for defending against Zhang Yan.
If the point guard were to play directly against Zhang Yan, it would be no different from directly giving him points. Letting the center defend was obviously not flexible enough, so letting the small forward restrict Zhang Yan was the best way the Kitty Wildcats could think of.
However, they had to face the fact that even Azubuk and Zhang Yan were 15CM apart in height…
Zhang Yan had barely passed the half court when the team's center forward, Scott Merritt, stepped up to cover for him. He was very active.
The Marquette Golden Hawks had a weak interior offensive ability. Even when they encountered a small man like Hayes, they did not have the idea of blocking the ball and playing solo.
But then again, with Zhang Yan and Wade's backfield double shooter combination, what was the point of an inside attack?
He just had to save all his energy for defense and post-match celebration!
"Bang! Bang!"
The moment Zhang Yan moved towards Merritt's cover, he suddenly changed the dribbling frequency. His body sank and he quickly changed direction to break through in the opposite direction!
Azubuk, who had already moved in the direction of cover, was shocked!
When he wanted to move sideways to block Zhang Yan's path, his body and mind were at odds!
With his legs bent, Azubuk lost control of his body and sat on the ground.
He directly fell!
In the paint zone, Zhang Yan jumped lightly against Hayes and Esteele, the two inside players of the Kitty Wildcats!
In the air, Zhang Yan grabbed the basketball with one hand and glided to avoid the two players 'blocks before pulling the basketball into the basket!
Amidst the loud cheers, the Marquette University fans stood up collectively!!
“O! M! G! Was this really a 210cm tall man? I can't accept this!"
Even Frances, who was on the sidelines, stood up and held his head in surprise, completely disregarding his image as an NBA star!
