Chapter 18 Top 32

Five o'clock in the afternoon on July 3th.

In the Veterans Memorial Gymnasium of Wake Forest University, there will be a 64-to-32 match between Eastern Kentucky University and the Wake Forest Devil Deacons, who came from afar.

Strictly speaking, this belongs to the second round of the Eastern Conference knockout round!
And this kind of game is played in four divisions of the United States at the same time!
The game has not yet started, but the fans in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum are already restless.

As the game with the highest attention in the United States in March, there are countless media reporters for each game.

Especially the Devil's Deacons, the strongest team in the ACC.

Looking around, 80% of the auditorium in the stadium were wearing dark gold devil uniforms!

As for the fans of Eastern Kentucky University who came with the team, they accounted for the remaining 20%, wearing their bright red.

Those team managers who have relatively high draft picks this year have sent their scouts to the auditorium.

Next, they will use professional and rigorous eyes to observe the performance of every player on the court, especially the yellow man!
.........

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle, indicating that the two big men standing beside him could jump up and grab the ball!

The legs of Snowden and the opponent's center Jerry were like springs, and they quickly lifted into the air!
This time, it was Snowden who won again.

However, the ball was not passed back after Williams got it, but was thrown directly to the side.

Because Jiang Yan had already picked up speed in the backcourt and ran to the frontcourt. Just now Williams saw Jiang Yan running over, so he passed the ball to Jiang Yan.

Williams, who passed the ball, didn't stop at all, and ran directly to the frontcourt.

As for the other members of the Devil's Deacon team, they were also rushing forward crazily.

For them, everything can be forgotten on the court, but following Jiang Yan's rhythm cannot be forgotten!

Jiang Yan dribbled the ball and pushed forward frantically, but after halfway through the push, he found that someone had been following behind him.

Jiang Yan believed that if he was like those black men whose heads are full of muscles, just rushing forward with all eyes on the basket, the first ball would be blocked by the opponent!
However, he is Jiang Yan!
Turning his eyeballs, when he was dribbling the ball, he turned his head to look in the direction Williams was running, and his body also tilted slightly there.

For the small forward Jack Rhine, who is chasing and defending, this look is definitely about passing the ball.

Subconsciously, he squeezed past Jiang Yan's body and stretched out his hand to steal it.

Naive, childish!
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, the left hand that was dribbling the ball changed hands in an instant, and with a step of his right foot, he easily passed the opponent's defensive champion Jack Rhine!
In fact, just when Jack jumped up to steal it, he realized that he might be fooled!

But how could the reaction of the body match the flow of consciousness in the brain!

When the body is in the air, it can only rush forward.

However, it was useless for Jiang Yan to pass Jack, because there was another person on Jiang Yan's way forward, and that was the point guard Pat who had been waiting for the ball in the backcourt.

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, was fearless, and continued to rush forward quickly without blinking her eyes while dribbling the ball.

Seeing that Jiang Yan was about to hit Pat, Jiang Yan threw the ball diagonally above her head!
"Peng!"

A loud noise spread to the entire stadium with the loudspeaker!

It turned out that Williams was not the only member of the Devil's Deacon team, and Jia Wei also followed behind Jiang Yan.

And when Jiang Yan was looking in the direction of Williams, she also saw Jia Wei following behind to the right from the corner of her eye.

That's why there is such a free pick!
"Slam... dunk... Jiawei..." The announcer's passionate voice sounded afterward!

"Good shot!" Jia Weiluo came to Jiang Yan's side as soon as he got off the ground and praised.

I still remember how Jiang Yan had conflicts with Jiang Yan when she first came to the Devil's Deacon Team, and now looking at Jia Wei who is like a dog's leg, Jiang Yan can't help but feel a sense of trance!
It turned out that he had been in the Devil's Deacon team for half a year!
Shaking his head, he dispelled the thoughts in his head, and then shouted to other teammates: "Defense!"

Eastern Kentucky University did not launch a fast break.

What they were able to eliminate Baylor University this season and last round was not relying on offensive ability, but relying on grinding the opponent's position and grinding the opponent's defense!
So to a certain extent, the Devil's Deacon team and Eastern Kentucky University restrained each other!
The Devil's Deacon team is famous in the United States for its mercury-like offense under Jiang Yan's control.

This game can be said to be a duel of spear and shield.

But what they overlooked was that the Devil's Deacon team's defense was actually among the top in the United States.

It's just that this defensive ability is covered up by a strong offensive ability!

Jiang Yan stood outside the three-point line, looking at Pat who was dribbling the ball. At this time, he would not rashly reach out to steal the ball. He would not bet that he could grab the ball so that the opponent could break into the inside.

This is what Haier has always emphasized with Jiang Yan.

If the steal is successful and the counterattack is successful, it will naturally boost morale.

But on the occasion of March Madness, steady above all else!
Sure enough, Jiang Yan's immobility made Pat very embarrassed. Their team lacked offensive talent.

They are often able to score goals by breaking through and pulling the defense, and then pass the ball to create breakthrough space, so as to score goals, but under the defense of Jiang Yan's long arms, he really has no confidence.

Helpless, Pat had to pass the ball to Javey to face the opposing shooting guard Pete!
Jia Wei stared at Pete very seriously, did not move away from Pete, and only gave Pete a step.

This distance is just the distance that can defend both breakthroughs and shots.

Slowly, there were only 35 seconds left in the 5 seconds.

Pete had no choice but to vote.

He just watched it, not to mention Jia Wei in front of him, if he can break in, he will also be facing the attack of the opponent's two insiders!
What's more, it can't break through!

Pete moved his body and took a step forward with his right foot, making a breakthrough posture.

Jia Wei naturally wanted to prevent Pete from breaking through, and then moved his body, preparing to block the opponent's breakthrough.

But Pete immediately withdrew his right foot, jumped up, and threw the ball!

"boom!"

Undoubtedly, strike the iron!
Wouldn't it be appropriate for you to ask a team that scores in the penalty area to shoot the ball? Is it not appropriate to kill them?
Snowden stuck Jerry tightly under the basket, and then Trish, who started this time, got the rebound.

But this time, after Jiang Yan received the ball, he made another fast break. He didn't intend to fight the opponent at all!

Position defense is the opponent's forte. If you don't dodge it, you still bump into it?
Jiang Yan and Jeff are not fools!

It was Jeff's decision to play fast break in this game!

Only by taking advantage of the opponent's defensive position and performing a surprise attack can we win the game better and more easily!
Sure enough, the next game was completely one-sided. The head coach of Eastern Kentucky University did not fail to let the players of Eastern Kentucky University quickly return to defense.

However, the Devil Deacon team has a bug in this fast-break chaotic battle that the opponent has never been able to solve.

That is Jiang Yan!
With Jiang Yan dribbling forward, no matter what the mess is, he can always find an open teammate in various situations, and then pass it quickly, and then score.

Even sometimes, the Devil Deacon team's offense is complete before the center of Eastern Kentucky University has passed halftime!
After halftime, the score between the two sides was 21:56.

Eastern Kentucky University was completely unable to break through the Devil's Deacon team's defensive system, and could only occasionally score in individual singles or field goals.

However, the hit rate of these scores is not high or even a little low!

In the eyes of professionals, this game is a game that has already been played.

And the strength of Eastern Kentucky University did not threaten the Devil Deacon team at all.

Amidst the boastful talk of some professionals, the intermission time passed quickly.

However, in the second half, Jeff boldly did not play the main team, but let Jia Wei bring a substitute and East Tuckee University to fight on the field!
Unsurprisingly, without Jiang Yan, the Devil's Deacon team could only compete with the opponent.

But fortunately, the defensive ability of the substitute lineup is also good, especially Saul.

After staying off the court for so long, his performance on the court is directly beyond the charts!
In the 10 minutes of the second half, he directly gave the opponent five blocks, and blocked the starting small forward of Eastern Kentucky University!

Because the opponent's coach couldn't stand Jack Rhine's clumsy performance anymore!
And because of the desperate defense of the substitute players, the coach of Eastern Kentucky University, who was still chasing points, directly extinguished that idea.

48: 69.

The visiting team is at the front and the home team is at the back.

That's the score with 10 minutes left in the game.

Then Center replaced the main players and replaced the water dispenser players.

Seeing this, Jeff sent the team's players who hadn't played for thousands of years to experience the atmosphere of March Madness one after another.

After that, it was time for rookies to peck each other.

The scouts on the sidelines were very satisfied with this game, because they saw Jiang Yan's admirable organizational skills and defensive ability on a small scale through this game!

Jiang Yan with these qualities is already worthy of them using the lottery pick to draft Jiang Yan and use him as the cornerstone of the team!

And the media kept focusing on Jiang Yan's face who was in a daze on the sidelines.

The two commentators sitting on the technical stage also joked about this, guessing what Jiang Yan thought in the mind of the statistic of 0 points and 15 assists.

That's right, I read that right, Jiang Yan didn't score, he just passed the ball every time.

Every time, the guise of offense is used to attract the opponent's defense, and then pass the ball.

"I guess Yan is thinking about what to eat tonight!" A commentator touched his chin and guessed.

"I think Yan is thinking about some beautiful woman! You must know that Yan is a man of the hour, and as a man of the day, there are not many confidante!" Another commentator also joked.

"Cough, cough, let's pay attention to this game!" The commentator sitting in the middle heard the two colleagues next to him talking more and more outrageous, so he had to interrupt.

"Hey man, don't you think it's fun to watch the game now?

Forest Light is not on the field, do you think it is still worth seeing? "The narrator on the right complained directly.

"Forehead………"

The commentator in the middle was speechless, and simply stopped talking and watched the game on the field.

"........."

Ten minutes later, the whistle sounded for the end of the game, and everyone from the Devil's Deacon team came directly to the field to celebrate, and then greeted each other with a hug!
As for the audience on the sidelines, they had already stood up and watched the movement on the field.

Their voices were hoarse as early as the first half, so now they can only clap their hands to celebrate the team's victory!
"Papa papa..."
