The rise of basketball legends

"FXXKKKKKK! How the hell am I supposed to defend against this??"

Brandon Rush breathed out his mouth and walked into the player tunnel cursing.

His tone sounded angry, but in fact it was more of annoyance and helplessness.

Inside the University of Kansas locker room, head coach Bill Self gives a halftime motivational speech.

"Are you going to let this kid score 80 in front of us? In the Sweet 16? Over our heads? Are you serious?"

"COME-ON! Look at the cameras all around you! Think of the fans who support us on the field and in front of the TV! We have to cheer up!"

"Listen, we have to work together to stop this guy!" Bill Self paused, maybe because he felt that his words were a bit unrealistic, and then immediately changed his words: "At least let him score slowly, he He played crazy in the first half, don't let him repeat the performance of the first half in the second half!"

"As long as we keep him contained, we still have a chance to win."

After Bill Self finished speaking, the Kansas players didn't feel motivated.

They all understand that if you restrain Chen Yan, you can win, but the key is that you can't restrain him!

Intermission time is up, the second half of the game begins.

The two sides were volatile and fought again, and Kansas came off the bench Russell Robinson with a tail-wagging layup to help the team score two points.

Then Kansas defended two waves of Texas offenses one after another.

At 4 minutes and 37 seconds into the second half, Kansas' substitutes had chased the point difference to only 9 points.

The substitutes in Texas and Kansas were not at the same level at all, and they were beaten crazily as soon as they came up.

The cheers of the Kansas fans gradually grew louder!

This team seems to be on the rise!

On the next dead ball, Texas head coach Rick Barnes replaced both Chen Yan and Durant.

Chen Yan and Durant used practical actions to prove that Kansas's so-called momentum is just an illusion, and chasing points is also temporary. All this is just because the two have just rested off the court!

As soon as the two came on the court, there was an alley-oop cooperation!

Durant made a high toss after holding the ball, and Chen Yan ran back against the wind with a thunderous blow!

Bombing the visual nerves of the fans at the scene to their heart's content!

In the next offensive round, Chen Yan used Durant's screen to reach the three-point line, and then looked back at the moon for a light point.

"Shh!"

After receiving the ball, Durant made no adjustments and shot directly, showing his killer qualities!

Kansas tried every means to restrict Chen Yan, harassing him with trash talk, constantly running on the offensive end to attract Chen Yan's follow-up defense, and exhausting his physical strength as much as possible.

He even tried to irritate Chen Yan with small moves, asking him to do it and then do a one-for-one limit.

It's a pity that Chen Yan doesn't follow that. Texas's lead is getting bigger and bigger, and the victory is getting closer and closer, so he won't fall into the little tricks of the Kansas guys.

In the offensive round of the University of Kansas, Wright took advantage of the screen to catch the ball and shot. Chen Yan bypassed the screen in advance and took off on his flank to interfere with him.

"Bang!

There was a sound of iron striking, and the basketball hit the hoop.

Durant picks up the rebound and passes to DJ Augustin.

DJ-Augustin acted as the setter and threw the ball directly to Chen Yan who was rushing forward!

The amount of the ball given in advance is a bit larger, but this is for ordinary players.

Chen Yan stepped on the accelerator, and the limit distance reached the basketball!

Step directly, fly buckle with one hand, all in one go!

The moment the wailing of the basket sounded, the screams and cheers of the fans also resounded throughout the Toyota Center!

"It's so fast! It didn't even take three seconds to attack the University of Texas in this round!"

"There was no dribble from the offense to the end of this round!"

"This basketball is played like a 100-meter relay, it's so cool to watch!"

The fans were amazed everywhere, and Kansas coach Self on the sidelines had no choice but to call a timeout.

"We are almost 20 points behind, and there is no way out. Let me attack with ease!"

Kansas head coach Bill Self yelled.

Kansas has sent four different defenders to take turns guarding Chen Yan, but with little success.

Blindly defending will definitely not work. Self is not a character who sits and waits for death, he must take the initiative to attack!

Either recover the points, or lose more points.

Self had put all his eggs in one basket.

Back from the timeout, Kansas suddenly sped up and fought against Texas!

Kansas began the final resistance!

But the more they resisted, the more excited Chen Yan became!

Fast-paced offense and defense means that Chen Yan's score will skyrocket!

First, an air cut scored 2+1, and then another mid-range hit using a cover!

The personal score also instantly rose to 41 points!

After entering the second half, Chen Yan's calls for pick-and-rolls increased significantly.

Although his singles success rate is high, the pick-and-roll is always the most energy-saving offensive method on the basketball court.

Usually, those 50 and 60-year-old guys in the field can stand on the stage all afternoon just relying on screens and shooting...

Chen Yan is not stupefied, so naturally he would not use such an efficient and energy-saving attack method.

In the next offensive round, Chen Yan called another wave of pick-and-rolls. After switching defenses, Chen Yan faced Kansas center Sasha Cowen directly.

Chen Yan did not rush to attack, but took two steps back after dribbling, pulling Sasha Cowan beyond the three-point line.

I don't know why, but Sasha Cowan has an ominous premonition...

Sasha Cowan squatted down to slightly lower the center of gravity, only to see that Chen Yan in front of him was first in the crotch, and then in front of his body and quickly changed direction.

These are very common movements among outside players, but for some reason Sasha Cowan felt that gravity seemed to disappear at this moment.

Then he just sat down on the spot!

"WOOOOOOOW! This big white man was knocked down!"

"Chen seems to have just used a very ordinary change of direction!"

Amidst the booing of the fans at the scene, Chen Yan went to the basket with an elegant pick and easily scored!

Seeing this extraordinary performance, Dayao slapped his hands very excitedly: "Good shot!"

But in addition to being excited, Dayao felt that the ball just now looked familiar.

Isn't this a replica of the ball Marbury threw himself down in the 02-03 season! ?

Kansas offensive round.

Sasha Cowen was obviously affected by being swayed in the last round, and a small hook with a good chance at the basket missed.

In many cases, it is not technology that determines a player's performance, but psychology.

If the mentality collapses, then there will be many simple goals that cannot be scored.

Fortunately, teammate Darrell Arthur on the other side of the basket stepped forward and made a tip-up to help Kansas recover 2 points.

Looking back, Chen Yan continued to switch defenses against Sasha Cowan in singles!

This round, Sasha Cowen didn't dare to follow beyond the three-point line. He only had one buttock and two ankles, which might not be enough for Chen Yanhuang.

Seeing an open field in front of him, Chen Yan made a move and shot from a high position, making an easy hit!

A brace!

"Chen's confidence has been fully raised, and basketball players can keep scoring goals after their confidence is bursting." Barkley said.

"Especially for a talented athlete like Chen." Kenny Smith added.

In the Kansas offensive round, Darrell Arthur and Chalmers played hand-in-hand, and the latter reached the basket and finished with a layup to score two points.

In fact, Kansas has a good offensive efficiency during this time, but the score is like a bottomless pit, and it can't catch up.

The reason was that they couldn't limit Chen Yan's performance.

Texas' offensive turn.

When Chen Yan locked his eyes on Sasha Cowan, the white center's hairs almost stood on end. Could it be...

He was right, Chen Yan summoned Pittman to cover him.

After switching defenses, Sasha Cowen stood in front of Chen Yan again.

Sasha Cowan's mentality collapsed.

You torture your opponent!Why are you torturing me? !

Just as Chen Yan was about to complete a hat-trick against Sasha Cowan, Wright rushed over.

Wright's move can be understood as his teammates can't stand it...

The two quickly doubled Chen Yan!

Chen Yan jumped with both feet on the ground, and threw the ball in the air to the already empty Xiaoshuai!

Durant received the ball at a 45-degree angle from the free throw line, and Wright rushed back immediately, but it was too late.

Wright has been seriously out of position and can't interfere with Durant at all.

"Shh!"

Durant made an easy hit, and Xiaoshuai's jumper is trustworthy!

This is Durant's 15th point of the game.

Two of those 15 points came from free throws, and the other 13 came from catch-and-shoot shots after a run or such open shots.

In the past, if Texas wanted to win, Durant had to kill C, but today, with Chen Yan as a spot-up shooter, the team has already led by 20+.

Durant said that it feels good to play and win the game occasionally...
