Chapter 23 Regret and Tears

The 15-minute half-time break passed quickly.

Then came the players from both sides.

The University of Washington still played the same five players 10 minutes after the first half.

No way, Washington coach really can't figure out how to break Wake Forest's fast break tactics, only passive defense, looking forward to using these five players to defend against Jiang Yan and the others.

But when they saw Wake Forest's lineup, the coach of the University of Washington was a little dumbfounded.

He really wanted to wave his hand to let the 'center forward' and 'power forward' on the field come down, but if he did this, it would definitely be a technical foul!
Coincidentally, the camera happened to be facing the coach of the University of Washington, so his constipated expression was completely seen by the audience.

"Hahaha, Barkley, look at Coach Washington's expression, isn't it the same as when you were constipated after eating too much?" Smith said with a big laugh.

Barkley wanted to laugh when he looked at the coach of the University of Washington, but when he heard Smith's last words, his face turned black!
What is my constipated expression!Have you seen?
……

The Devil's Deacon team lineup on the field is Luca, Brook, Totil, Duo Wei, and Snowden.

This is a regular lineup, and there is nothing unusual about it. If there is, it is just that Jeff deliberately explained before they played to suppress the offensive rhythm.

It doesn't matter if you score or not, as long as you defend the opponent's attack!

The game continued, and the Devil Deacon team meticulously implemented the steady and steady game Jeff ordered.

But the University of Washington also started a fast break.

And the initiators of the fast break are Rose and Roten.

In just 3 minutes, the University of Washington turned the score back and forth by one point.

70: 69.

Jeff hurriedly called a timeout, and dispatched the dead five who had rested for 18 minutes.

When he played again, the situation on the court was completely different.

When the Devil's Deacons are on offense, UW is firmly enforcing the 'Jordan Rule'!
Unswervingly defend Jiang Yan alone, and defend against other Devil Deacon players.

If Jiang Yan can really get a high score and kill the game, they have nothing to say, but if Jiang Yan can't kill the game, then they will win this game and they will enter the top 8.

And in terms of rebounds, the University of Washington also learned from the Devil's Deacon team. All five players went inside to grab basketball.

This approach directly leads to the imbalance of rebounding grabs.

Probably because compared to the five players of the University of Washington, the five members of the Devil's Deacon team are really not at an advantage in terms of physique.

As the game continued, the Devil's Deacon team became more and more weak, and there were still 5 minutes before the end of the game.

The score on the court was 83:93.

The University of Washington leads the Devil Deacon team by 19 points. Although Jiang Yan has scored 13 points, 8 assists and [-] rebounds so far, the team has lost to the University of Washington.

Firstly, in terms of scoring efficiency, Jiang Yan, a traditional point guard, is always inferior to Washington University's Rose. Second, the Devil Deacons really can't beat Washington University in rebounding.

Even Jiang Yan, a long-armed monster, is helpless with Washington University's backcourt.

It turns out that these two people also have a hidden basketball skill-rebounding!

Jeff gestured to the referee and called out the last long timeout in his hands.

Because he knew that relying on fast breaks was useless, so he was going to make a substitution and was struggling for the last time.

.........

"Smith, looking at the current situation, you probably want to kiss O'Neill's big ass!" Barkley said while sitting there dancing.

"Barkley, the game is not over yet! There are still 5 minutes left? Anything can happen!" Smith said with an ugly face.

Generally speaking, he doesn't do things he's not sure about, but now he regrets it, a bit regretting the bet he made with Barkley earlier!
Lawrence sat in the auditorium, looking at Jiang Yan who was wiping sweat with a towel, and felt indescribably happy.

Pain!
She was very happy that Washington was able to defeat Jiang Yan!
.........

"Yan, I need you to give full play to your offensive power. This season is only 5 minutes away. If we win, we can continue to go on. If we lose, we have to go home!" Said heavily.

"Coach, don't worry, I will do my best!" Jiang Yan clenched her fists, patted her chest, and said firmly.

He will not give up, even if the situation is difficult now, even if he is alone now, even if he is ten points behind the opponent!

After wiping the sweat off his face vigorously with a towel, he walked to the field without hesitation.

Followed by the other players of the Devil's Deacon team.

Just now Jeff only arranged a tactic for Jiang Yan to open up space and give Jiang Yan a single.

According to him, Jiang Yan is the leader of the team, and this is the time for Jiang Yan to stand up.

Sweat dripped from Jiang Yan's face, and he dribbled the ball with his left and right hands. In his mind, he still remembered his breakthrough on the field field in his previous life, and he still remembered his windy figure at that time.

When did it start, he didn't dare to break through on the court, and when did he start, he only knew how to pass the ball?
It turned out that when the system said that he was not good at offense, he would subconsciously feel that his offensive ability was not good, his breakthrough was poor, his shooting was poor, and he was afraid of attacking.

And I still comfort myself deep in my heart that my only task on the field is to pass the ball, and offense is the task of other players!

No, I am not!
Jiang Yan roared in her heart.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan quickly stretched out her left foot and dribbled the ball with her right hand, as if she was going to attack inside!

Luo Teng, who was defending Jiang Yan, saw Jiang Yan sticking out his right foot, but he was indifferent, because in this game, all of Jiang Yan's offenses were shots, and he never broke through to the inside to score!

So he was sure that Jiang Yan was a fake move, and he had already thought that Jiang Yan would probably make another step-back shot next time.

Luo Teng did not move laterally to block Jiang Yan's breakthrough route, on the contrary, he leaned forward, ready to block Jiang Yan's shot.

However, Jiang Yan's next behavior surprised him.

Seeing that he didn't block his breakthrough, Jiang Yan still wanted to get close to him. Immediately, as soon as she pushed her calf hard, she kicked her left leg and rushed towards the inside line.

Luo Teng watched helplessly as Jiang Yan passed him, then went to the basket and made a layup with a bad posture.

But such an offense was useless, because the Devil Deacon team could not defend against Washington's offense.

It can also be said that Rose's offense cannot be prevented.

Under Saul's defense, Rose almost turned into Jordan, scoring all kinds of shots.

Four minutes and 50 seconds passed, Jiang Yan tried his best to attack, and it was useless to score 5 points in just 12 minutes, because Rose also scored 5 points in these [-] minutes!
Coupled with the previous [-] points behind, the Devil Deacon team is still [-] points behind with the game over in [-] seconds!
This is a chasm that cannot be crossed.

What's more, this last attack is in the hands of Washington.

Jiang Yan did not give up, he came to Luo Teng who was about to catch the ball in the backcourt, and prepared to give him a steal, but Baynes, who was serving the ball, saw that Jiang Yan was defending Luo Teng so tightly, but passed the ball to a lot of people. Rose, who is also ready to catch the ball in the distance.

Rose also had Saul beside him, but Rose still got the ball.

Under Saul's top defense, it took him eight seconds to dribble through the half court, and then he stood outside the three-point line and dribbled the ball, quietly waiting for the time to pass.

They stopped fighting!
Seeing this, Jiang Yan didn't press again, but sat on the ground all of a sudden, staring blankly at the scoreboard above her head.

Looking at it, she thumped the floor angrily, and then Jiang Yan shed sad tears.

The other four players of the Devil's Deacon team stood not far from Jiang Yan, with their hips akimbo looking helplessly at the Washington players who were cheering on the field.

The fans of Wake Forest looked at everything on the field with a look of regret, especially the scene of Jiang Yan beating the ground with tears, and felt very sorry.

However, they have no reason to be dissatisfied with the results of the Devil Deacon team this year. It is already very good to reach the Sweet Sixteen!

Thinking of this, these fans shouted Jiang Yan's name loudly, hoping that this could comfort Jiang Yan who was crying.

"Yan! Yan..."

At this time, Jeff was also comforting Jiang Yan. He really didn't expect Jiang Yan to cry after losing the game!

Because in his impression, Jiang Yan has always been a player who is unyielding, tough, hardworking and hardworking.

"Yan, don't blame yourself, I'm proud of you!" Jeff hugged Jiang Yan with a happy smile on his face.

Indeed, Jeff has no reason to be dissatisfied. He had given up any hope of the team entering the national championship this season.

It was the appearance of Jiang Yan that gave this team a new look;
It was Jiang Yan's appearance that allowed the team to win the ACC championship;

It was Jiang Yan's appearance that allowed the team to enter the Sweet Sixteen.

So the Devil's Deacon team can't and has no right to blame Jiang Yan for not leading them to win this time!

While Jeff was comforting Jiang Yan, all Wake Forest fans stood up and shouted 'Yan' all the time!
Jiang Yan raised her face full of tears and looked at the audience who were standing and shouting at him at the top of their lungs.

His eyes were full of emotion.

Unable to help herself, Jiang Yan came to the middle of the field and bowed to the fans in four directions!
……

"This is competition! It is always full of blood and tears, but it is also full of emotion!
Although there is always a loser and a winner between the two sides, the passion for competition will not disappear because of this! "Smith looked at the bowing Jiang Yan and said with a sigh.

However, wherever warmth flashes everywhere, there will always be funny comparisons!

"Kenny, when will you kiss O'Neill's ass live?" Barkley said with a big mouth.

"Ahem..." Smith choked on Buckley's words!
……

At the end of the game, Lawrence sat there and watched Jiang Yan beat the ground sadly with tears. For some reason, the gloating mood in his heart disappeared without a trace.

Especially in the back, all Wake Forest fans shouted Jiang Yan's name, and Jiang Yan stood in the middle of the court and bowed, which deeply shocked her!
This kind of shock is not what the movie can bring to her!
With mixed feelings, she was not smiling at Jiang Yan's jokes, but felt that Jiang Yan was very real, and she had a completely different feeling from those Hollywood stars who were full of hypocrisy.
