The game between the New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls was about to begin.
On that day, the United Center Arena was packed!
"Today will be a real test for Ye Ran!”
"After a perfect performance in his debut, the fans will have high expectations for him.”
"The Chicago Bulls are a famous defensive team in the league. They will definitely try their best to limit Ye Ran's scoring in this game!”
"It's worth noting that the Bulls center, Joakim Noah, had 2.6 blocked shots per game last season. He's a player with DOPY-level defensive ability.”
In the live broadcast room of ESPM, Mike Breen and Amy Johnson were warming up for the game.
In this match, everyone's focus was on whether Ye Ran was a flash in the pan and whether he could continue his performance in his debut.
The answer was about to be revealed!
After a simple warm-up, the starting line-ups of both teams appeared.
The starting lineup for the Chicago Bulls was a group of tough defenders.
Point guard: Kirk Hinrich.
Shooting guard: Richard Hamilton.
Small Forward: Jimmy Butler.
Power forward: Carlos Boozer.
Center: Joakim Noah.
The Knicks 'starting lineup was the same as it had been in their debut.
Point guard: Zhu Holly.
Shooting guard: Nick Young.
Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony.
Power Forward: Ye Ran.
Center: Tyson Chander.
"Shh…"
The United Center was indeed a famous visiting team nightmare in the league. When the Knicks 'starting lineup was introduced, the entire stadium immediately booed.
Especially when it was Ye Ran's turn, the booing reached its peak.
It could be seen that the fans also hoped to focus on the rookie who had performed well in his debut.
Ye Ran smiled and placed his hand beside his ear, as if he wanted to hear the booing more clearly.
At the same time, his heart was beating slightly and he was excited. He hoped that when he saw the team being beaten up, he would continue to boo.
Ye Ran and Noah prepared to jump ball.
As the referee threw the basketball high up in the air, the match officially began!
"Bang!"
Although the two of them were about the same height, Ye Ran's arm span and jumping ability were obviously higher. He easily jumped the ball successfully.
The moment he landed, he quickly descended again.
"Stop him!"
Obviously, the Bulls had studied the video of Ye Ran's debut and knew that after he jumped the ball, there was a quick dunk.
After Ye Ran rushed up, Noah followed closely beside him, trying to stop him with his body.
However, the difference in explosive power between the two sides was too great.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ran shook off Noah and rushed into the Bulls 'penalty area alone.
With the experience from the previous game, this time, he did not hesitate. He used the same trick and directly lobbed the ball across the half of the court!
However…
How did this pass go so high?
Could it be a mistake? When the basketball approached the basket, it was still close to the top of the backboard.
A trace of doubt flashed through the fans 'hearts.
Obviously not!
In the penalty area, Ye Ran's right leg muscles tensed up. His entire body rose into the air like a rocket and caught the ball that had lost control at the highest point.
"Newbie, don't even think about dunking!"
However, Noah, who had been lagging behind, had caught up.
He tried his best to jump up, and his right hand reached out to the basketball in the air in an attempt to interfere.
But…
His full-powered jump could only touch Ye Ran's elbow. The difference in explosive power between the two was too great.
In the air, Ye Ran only had eyes for the basket and did not even look at the defender in front of him.
His core strength tensed up, and his right hand, which was holding the basketball, swung without hesitation.
His entire body and the basketball in his hand were thrown towards the basket!
"Boom!"
The bodies of both parties collided in the air, emitting a terrifying loud sound of muscles colliding.
Noah felt as if he had been run over by a truck. He could no longer maintain his balance in the air.
His entire body fell backward and fell straight onto the floor!
"Boom!"
The basketball in Ye Ran's hand was smashed into the basket.
"Wow…"
The fans who had been booing a second ago instantly turned into an uproar of disbelief.
2：0
"Wow, a familiar opening alley-oop. Ye Ran knocked away Jorkin Noah, who wanted to block him, and completed the pass!!!”
"The pass was too high. I don't know if it was a mistake or on purpose. Even if the Bulls had prepared in advance, they couldn't stop it at all!”
"In the entire league, only Ye Ran can score this kind of goal. Speed, strength, and jumping ability are all used. If any one of them is not strong enough, the air catch will fail.”
"Although Qiao Jin was blocked, I still want to praise him. He tried his best to defend and jump. His defense was already good enough, but Ye Ran was unreasonable and wanted to block you!”
Because he was so surprised, Mike Breen's voice changed.
This attack was more difficult and shocking than the opening fast attack on the day of the debut.
It was as if it was a sign that his performance that day was not a coincidence!
Noah sat on the floor, panting heavily.
Ye Ran's strength was more terrifying than he had expected.
The moment he was sent flying, he seemed to have really seen the Grim Reaper waving at him.
However, this did not make Noah lose confidence.
In terms of physical talent, he had never been the best in the Alliance.
But he has beaten countless talented players
Relying on the combination of technique, tough mentality, and hard work, he did not think that he was weaker than anyone else.
"Is it another monster?"
"However, I won't let you succeed again.”
Looking at Ye Ran's back, Noah slowly got up and gritted his teeth.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the venue was instantly ignited. After the initial surprise, the fans booed Ye Ran even louder.
Turning around, the Bulls attacked.
Noah deliberately went low to find Ye Ran and pretended to be attacking from behind.
But this was just a tactic of the Bulls.
The king of mid-range shots, Hamilton, ran around the free-throw line and shot from mid-range after receiving a pass from his teammate!
“DUANG！”
He didn't know if it was because he wasn't in the right state at the start, but this time, he threw the ball with a little more force. The ball hit the basket and bounced up high.
However, this position just happened to bounce in Noah's direction.
Noah took his time and used his back to feel the power behind him.
After confirming that he had caught Ye Ran, he leaped high and made a slam dunk!
But how could Ye Ran let him succeed? He did not forget his mission for this game.
Trying to steal the rebound from me?
Dream on!
Ye Ran, who took a step back, stomped on the ground and jumped up quickly as if he had wings.
Although he jumped a step later than Noah, he touched the ball first.
The board was removed from the top of his head!
