Other than Stanley Johnson, the potential small forward, the Arizona Wildcats had no other choice.
There was also TJ McConnell, an NBA-level point guard.
Last season, McConnell was selected for the second team of the PAC-12 league's best lineup and was also selected for the best defensive lineup.
This season, his strength had already reached the level of the first team in the Divisional Alliance.
Once he entered the NBA, he would be a good rotation player.
In fact.
If Wang Yan remembered correctly.
McConnell was unfortunately not selected in the 2015 draft.
However, he finally completed the counterattack and successfully won a four-year contract worth 35 million dollars in the summer of 2021.
It could also be considered a model of a counterattack from a fallen talent.
The pre-match warm-up between the two teams quickly ended, and the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.
The starting lineup of the Arizona Wildcats could be summarized as follows:
TJ McConnell, Stanley Johnson, and three teammates!
UCLA's starting lineup was:
Michael Bryant, Norman Powell, Chris Williams, the center forward, and Wang Yan!
"Today's UCLA away game is actually not lacking in highlights!”
As the two teams made their debut, the live commentator said,
"Their freshman wearing the number 1 jersey, the young man named Wang Yan, had a lot of support on the Internet before this!”
The commentator had obviously done his homework.
He re-enacted Wang Yan's deeds that had previously become popular on the Internet.
"I've heard stories about him too.”
" It's said that King's back muscles are like a ghost's face," another commentator said.”
"He has the ghost back that countless fitness experts dream of?!”
"Although I don't know if his back is real or fake, Wang Yan has broken many years of UCLA's record in the history of the team. This has been verified by the video.”
For the time being, whether or not Wang Yan really possessed the legendary Ghost Back was not a problem.
At the very least, he truly possessed a body that was beyond his knowledge.
"As expected, Stanley Johnson will face Wang Yan on both offense and defense.”
"The battle between these two freshmen is also one of the highlights of today's competition!”
As the two commentators spoke.
The centers of both teams stood in the middle line.
The referee threw the ball high.
In the next moment, the Arizona Wildcats 'tool center won the ball!
The Arizona Wildcats, who played at home, dominated the first offensive ball in the opening game.
TJ McConnell skillfully held the ball across the court and then stopped the ball at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to run.
The Arizona Wildcats strictly implemented the tactical requirements of the head coach.
He watched his players patiently pass the ball, pick and roll, and run.
On the sidelines, Arizona Wildcats coach Sean Miller crossed his legs in his seat.
If nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to win this match easily.
"Sou!"
On the court.
The Arizona Wildcats had used up 35 seconds of attack time to 11 seconds left.
Stanley Johnson relied on his teammates 'continuous pick-and-rolls. After he broke free from the defense, he opened his hand and signaled for the ball!
"Bang!"
The support of his teammates was soon in place, and the basketball was sent to Stanley Johnson.
This super small forward, who had won the California championship four years in a row in his high school career, received the ball from mid-range, faced the box, and jumped up to shoot!
"Sou!"
The basketball shot!
Stanley Johnson did everything perfectly.
The only result waiting for the basketball was a hit!
"Bang!"
The goose.
Just as Stanley Johnson was thinking about how to celebrate after the goal was scored.
Flanking!
Wang Yan, who was wearing the UCLA No. 1 jersey, flew into the sky!
He directly sent the basketball flying from the right side to the left side of the audience!
“ＷＯＯＯＯＷ！！！”
The basketball shot towards the audience like a cannonball, scaring the basketball fans so much that they scattered to the sides.
“ＷＴＦ？？”
On the court.
Stanley Johnson, who was confident in his shot, was shocked by the defender's volley cap.
What was going on?
He had clearly gotten rid of the defense and obtained an opportunity to attack.
Where did this monster come from? It actually had such a powerful and heavy volleyball cap?!
Moreover, this ball looked like a cannonball…
His strength was a little too exaggerated!
However, when he carefully looked at UCLA No. 1 in front of him, he was shocked.
He immediately understood!
Good fellow!
Just this pair of Qilin arms.
It was indeed normal to be able to send out such a cannonball-like seal!!
Before the match.
Stanley Johnson was so focused on how to play the game that he didn't pay much attention to the UCLA players.
Now he realized:
He was still too young!
There was actually such a muscular man in UCLA!
"Wow, the Arizona Wildcats 'first attack was mercilessly destroyed by Wang Yan!”
"This block fully demonstrated Wang Yan's terrifying athletic talent. He almost flew to complete the block like a volleyball smash!”
"Moreover, look at the distance that this ball has flown. His strength is indeed as terrifying as the rumors say!”
The two commentators had seen big scenes before.
He calmly analyzed the information displayed by Wang Yan's seal.
His jumping, explosive power, and strength were definitely well-deserved!
The Arizona Wildcats took the sideline.
After TJ McConnell received the ball, he raised his hand and called for a pick-and-roll.
With the help of the pick-and-roll, McConnell passed the ball to his center teammate!
The Arizona Wildcats, who received the ball, pretended to attack the box and pointed at UCLA's starting power forward, Chris Williams.
After a time difference, he stood up and placed the basket!
"Bang!"
It was too late to say.
The moment the Arizona Wildcats 'center released the basket!
Behind him, a huge body appeared!
Then, he slapped the basketball away!
"Boom!"
The blocked basketball suffered a huge impact and bounced off the backboard!
It was not anyone else who completed the sealing.
It was Wang Yan again!
"Oh! It's Wang Yan again!"
" UCLA's freshman Wang Yan blocked his opponent's shot for the second time in a row. He also grabbed the defensive rebound and counterattacked the front court…"
The two shoutcasters were prepared to follow Wang Yan's violent counterattack and start today's explosive moment.
In the end, Wang Yan had just crossed the middle line.
The referee suddenly blew the whistle in his hand and stopped the match.
"An unexpected development. Wang Yan blocked the opponent's layup without any contact, but during the counterattack, the game was stopped by the referee!”
The commentator was also surprised." It looks like there was something wrong with the Arizona Wildcats 'basket?"”
Following the commentator's guidance.
Everyone looked at the basket.
The Arizona Wildcats center, who had been blocked by Wang Yan, pointed at the right rebound.
This was the spot where Wang Yan had blocked the basketball earlier.
The referee looked up and was instantly stunned!
The right side of the backboard actually cracked!!？
(The data is too tragic. I beg all readers to give me more flowers and tickets to support me!)!）
