The rise of basketball legends

距离上半场结束还剩1分22秒，目前双方比分是34比29，新墨西哥州立大学暂时领先5分。

Just when everyone thought that the two sides would enter the second half with such a point difference, the situation on the court changed suddenly!

New Mexico State University suddenly speeded up. First, point guard Doug Brown used a screen to go straight to the basket and scored a 2+1!

Immediately afterwards, through the cooperation of the team, Noah-Richardson and Branson hit two open three-pointers on the periphery one after another!

43:29.

The sudden outburst allowed NMS to extend its lead to 14 points at halftime!

The Texas Longhorns fell into dead silence.

The NCAA trailing by 14 points at halftime and the NBA trailing by 14 points at halftime are completely different concepts.

The NBA is a four-quarter system, each game is 12 minutes, and the total game time is 48 minutes.

The NCAA has a two-half system, with 20 minutes in each half, and the total game time is only 40 minutes.

In addition, unlike the NBA's single-round attack time of 24 seconds, the NCAA's round attack time is 35 seconds.

The NCAA's offensive and defensive rhythm is more than a little slower than that of the NBA, and games with 50 or 60 points in a whole game abound.

The 13-point difference is enough to change the mentality of the players.

During halftime, Texas cheerleaders put on a show on the field.

The quality of the cheerleading team at the University of Texas is not covered, they are all hot girls, with hot bodies and attractive eyes.

But at this time, the fans don't seem to appreciate their dancing mood. If the team doesn't seek to change and continue the game in the first half, then they are very likely to be upset in the top 64!

“OH！4号种子德克萨斯长角牛队看样子似乎遇到了麻烦！在上半场结束他们遭遇了黑色1分钟，新墨西哥州立大学打出一波9比0的小高潮将分差拉开到了13分！”

During the intermission, two on-site commentators analyzed the first half of the two sides.

"In the first half, New Mexico State was the better side. They had better teamwork and a stronger desire to win, while Texas University didn't seem to be in the game yet."

"Look what adjustments the Texas Longhorns will make in the second half. If they are out of this game, it will be the first upset since the start of March Madness this year!"

The two narrators knew very well that the audience liked this kind of upset plot where the weak prevailed over the strong, so they couldn't wait to put forward the concept of upset.

Surprises come and go, and dark horses appear everywhere, which is why March Madness is so crazy!

In the Texas Longhorns locker room, Rick Barnes was tapping on the tactical board and doing the layout work for the second half.

The air pressure in the locker room was very low, and the players sat in their positions without saying a word.

As the team's number one star, Durant should have said something to encourage his teammates at this time, but he chose to remain silent.

The introverted Durant himself is not good at words, and Rick Barnes protected him too well in the team. The coach gave him a stage to display his talents, great freedom and the right to fire, but did not tell How does he become a leader.

During the intermission, head coach Rick Barnes still did not put Chen Yan in the roster, which made Chen Yan a little disappointed.

He is eager to play, eager to help the team turn around.

"Be patient, there will definitely be a chance for you to play, don't worry."

Offensive coach Spurman saw Chen Yan's anxiety and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.

Russell Spurman is very optimistic about Chen Yan. He has seen Chen Yan's ability and state this week, but he doesn't care about the substitutions in the game, and head coach Rick Barnes nods.

"Thank you coach, I am always ready to play!"

Chen Yan nodded to Russell Springman.

The second half of the game started soon.

Rick Barnes' off-the-ball alternate screen tactics in the midfield worked.

DJ-Augustin made two consecutive open three-pointers through the running position, but unfortunately they all shot out of the frame.

The fans sighed, he was too strong tonight.

Not only DJ-Augustin, but all the outside players of the Texas Longhorns are not feeling well.

Even the commentator couldn't help but joked: "The Longhorns are preparing to work together to forge a new basket for the American West Arena?"

Fortunately, Dulan gradually regained his form, hit several difficult high jump shots in a row, and carried the team forward with his own strength.

Although Durant improved slightly on the offensive end compared to the first half, he also scored more points in sports battles.

But he still doesn't know how to drive the team's offense, and the team's performance is still like a loose sand.

As time went by, the point difference remained at around 10 points.

Head coach Rick Barnes seemed to be standing calmly on the sidelines. In fact, his back was already soaked in sweat, but people couldn't see it because he was wearing a suit.

"Beep!"

During the offensive round of the Texas Longhorns, just as Durant rushed inside with the ball, the referee suddenly whistled.

After the whistle blew, the referee gestured for Durant to make an offensive foul!

This will undoubtedly add insult to injury for the Longhorns, who are already trailing by double digits.

Durant didn't argue with the referee, but walked away with his head bowed in annoyance.

It felt like he was almost out of breath.

The cheering of the fans on the sidelines is getting smaller and smaller, and the morale of the Texas Longhorns has fallen to the bottom.

"Oh! Man! Kevin Durant was eager to chase points, and after breaking into the paint, he was blown into a dribble!"

"The form is getting worse for the Longhorns. They need another scoring point besides Durant!"

The two on-site commentators hit the nail on the head and pointed out the current problems in Texas.

Texas can no longer be said to rely on Durant. To be precise, their only tactic now is to give the ball to Durant!

"It's really going to be an upset! Texas' offensive performance tonight is too weak!"

"According to this style of play, Durant is afraid that he will be exhausted before playing the whole game?"

"The No. 4 seed was eliminated in the round of 64? Exciting!"

"I don't know if early exit will affect Durant's draft position..."

The fans on the sidelines and in front of the TV kept discussing the situation on the field.

With 11 minutes and 02 seconds left before the end of the game, the game entered a TV timeout.

The Longhorns are currently trailing by 39 points, 52-13.

Time is running out for Texas!

Rick Barnes knew he had to make a change if he didn't want to go home and fish!

"Chen! Come on after the timeout!"

When all the players gathered together, Rick Barnes suddenly called Chen Yan's name!

Caught off guard, unexpected!

Hearing the head coach's call, Chen Yan straightened his body all of a sudden.

The chance you've been waiting for has finally come!

"Don't be under pressure, just play it as a training game! Give full play to your strengths and attack the inside! Try to help Kevin open up space, and play fast breaks when you have the opportunity! Do you understand?"

Rick Barnes kept tapping on the tactical board, racing against time to arrange the tactical play for Chen Yan after playing.

The short timeout ends quickly.

The moment the electronic buzzer sounded, Chen Yan tore off his training uniform and trousers, and walked towards the center of the court with the main players!

After seeing Chen Yan coming off the bench, the on-site commentary also began to introduce to the fans:

"After the timeout, the Texas Longhorns made substitution adjustments. They replaced Justin Mason with Chen Yan. This is an international student from China. He is also a member of the Texas Longhorns. The only foreign player who serves as a shooting guard on the field has averaged 1.3 points and 1.1 assists per game this season."

"Will he be the Longhorns' secret weapon?"

The tone of the two commentators is obviously ridiculed, and the average of 1 point and 1 assist per game is obviously not the data that a secret weapon should have.

Seeing Chen Yan appearing on the stage, many Asian fans cheered from the sidelines.

They understand that it is not easy to see a yellow-skinned player in the NCAA, and it is even more difficult on the stage of March Madness.

At this moment, a mechanical sound suddenly sounded in Chen Yan's mind.

"Ding! Now announce the main mission [Turning Against the Wind], the mission completion condition: the host helps the Texas Longhorn team to reverse the game before the end of the game and win the victory!"

"Mission reward: 6 honor points, Wade's signature skill [Misty Step], and unlock the main mission of the next stage!"

The main mission has been triggered!

This made Chen Yan, who was already extremely excited, even more excited at this moment!

He could even hear the beating of his heart!

Chen Yan glanced at the score difference on the scoreboard.

13 points is a fart!

Match wins and quest rewards...I want them all!

He has great confidence in his ability and talent.

The reversal starts from the moment I debut!

Chen Yan walked to Noah Richardson, who was the player he needed to match up with after he came on the field.

Noah Richardson glanced at him:

"What? Is there no one in Texas? Or has the game been given up?"

"I will beat you into a sieve and make you regret standing in front of me and stepping on this field behind!"

"I'll be your nightmare tonight, I promise."

The team's lead made Noah Richardson a little bit adrift, turned on the taunting mode, and the trash talk continued.

Before Chen Yan traveled, he had read a lot of online articles about sports competitions, and the protagonist would inevitably encounter such a mocking villain on the field.

Chen Yan has complained about such a clichéd plot, but he never expected that it would actually happen to him today!

Art comes from life, it really doesn't lie to me......

Thinking of this, the corners of Chen Yan's mouth rose slightly.

He laughed!

Noah Richardson on the side suddenly froze when he saw this scene.

What does this smile mean?

Could this be his response to the trash talk he just said?

Noah Richardson felt that he was being ridiculed and said on the spot that he couldn't bear it anymore!

In fact, Chen Yan is not targeting him. In Chen Yan’s impression, there will be no player named Noah Richardson in the NBA in the future. I don’t know whether he will play in a low-level league or find another class after finishing his NCAA career. .

For such a player, Chen Yan naturally wouldn't take it seriously...

The referee blows the whistle and the game restarts.

As soon as point guard Doug Brown received the ball from the sideline, Noah Richardson frantically beckoned for the ball!

He regarded Chen Yan as a soft persimmon, as if he wanted to crush him!

Doug Brown also understood and sent the ball with a hit.

Before catching the ball, Richardson had already thought of a hundred postures to eat Chen Yan alone, but when he lowered his waist, he suddenly realized that the ball was gone!

Chen Yan sprinted out from the flank, taking the first step to poke the ball!

The intention of passing the ball is too obvious, passing this kind of ball in front of Chen Yan is basically equivalent to giving it for nothing.

"Snapped!"

broken!

But not completely broken!

The basketball changed its original trajectory and flew towards the sideline!

Chen Yan and Doug Brown at the top of the arc accelerated to chase the ball at the same time, and the two started a sprint race!

It was a [-]-[-] shot, but Chen Yan took the lead with his absolute speed!

"WOW!!!"

"So fast!"

Amidst the exclamations of the fans on the sidelines, Chen Yan made a flying save before Doug Brown!

In the air, while Chen Yan controlled the ball, he lost control of his body!

Without hesitation, Chen Yan turned his head and threw the ball at Doug Brown the moment it flew out of bounds.

"boom!"

The ball hit Doug Brown's thigh and went straight out of bounds.

Chen Yan fell headfirst into the auditorium.

But it was not a big problem. With the bodies of the audience in the first row acting as human sandbags, Chen Yan basically had no risk of injury.

After all, he is not O'Neill, and there will be no scene where fans disperse in a rush to save the ball.

Durant and DJ-Augustin stepped forward quickly, and at the same time stepped forward to pull Chen Yan up from the ground.

At the same time, the referee also gestured, and the Texas Longhorns had the ball!

"Chen is a player who is full of energy as soon as he comes on the court, and he doesn't have any stage fright!"

"This guy played very smartly. If he forced a flying save just now, he would probably be intercepted by the opponent, resulting in a situation of overplaying and underplaying. He chose to hit the ball on the opponent and went out of bounds, winning an offensive opportunity for the team!"

The two commentators nodded repeatedly, expressing their praise to Chen Yan.

He went all out on the field. In addition to receiving praise from the commentator, Chen Yan also won a lot of applause from the fans!

Although Chen Yan is a man who plays tricks, but the one who really plays is that he is not a system. If he does not have a good attitude and strong will, even if he cheats, it may be difficult to reach the height he expected.

Possession transition, Texas Longhorns offense.

DJ-Augustin protects the ball with his left hand and brings the ball to the front court with his right hand.

New Mexico State University's defensive attitude is still tough, especially against Durant's defense.

They know that Durant doesn't like physical contact, so they try to have as much physical contact with him as possible when he is out of the ball, and use confrontation to disrupt his offensive rhythm.

At a 45-degree angle to the left of the free throw line, Durant barely caught the ball after some fighting.

But before he could turn around, two players from New Mexico State University double-teamed him, one left and one right.

The left and right are men, wrapping Durant between their bodies!

At this point in the game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the University of Texas can only rely on Durant to make a comeback.

Double-team him and it's over!

With Durant double-teamed, someone must be left empty, and this person is Chen Yan.

"KD!!"

After Chen Yan yelled, he accelerated and seized the opportunity to go straight to the basket without the ball!

Durant's passing ability is average, but he has top physical advantages.

After hearing Chen Yan's call, Durant jumped up and used his height and wingspan to throw the ball in!

After Chen Yan received the ball, he took off without any unnecessary movements!

Facing the center Marcus Gill who came to defend him, Chen Yan changed hands in the air and threw the ball from his armpit lightly!

The ball bounced a few times on the rim and then fell into the net!

"nice shot!"

Durant stepped forward to give Chen Yan a high-five with excitement on his face. Finally, some teammates stood up to help him share the pressure of scoring. Durant felt a little more relaxed.

"Bang!"

Offensive and defensive transition, New Mexico State University missed a shot, Chen Yan took a step back and grabbed the defensive rebound with one hand.

Instead of handing the ball to DJ-Augustin, Chen Yan chose to advance alone.

Just when New Mexico State University was preparing to organize its defense, Chen Yan launched a surprise attack!

With an acceleration, Chen Yan got through the gap between Noah-Richardson and Branson first!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yanqian rolled Hiraoka with the ball and stabbed into the basket!

This acceleration ability... Those who didn't know thought Chen Yan's gearbox was blown up!

"BOOM!"

With the sound of an explosion, Chen Yan completed a one-arm dunk!

The players of New Mexico State University did not expect Chen Yan to have such explosive power at all, so they could only watch silently from the sidelines...

First there was an extremely agile hand-changing lever, and then there was a violent one-handed bombing.

In just two rounds, Chen Yan ignited the atmosphere of the scene! ! !

The cheers of the diehard Texas fans grew louder again, the point difference narrowed to single digits, and the fans saw the hope of a comeback!

Chen Yan waved his fist vigorously!

The cheers from the fans made every cell in his body excited!

The players on the Texas bench jumped up and down as if revived, frantically shaking the towels in their hands!

NMSU offense.

Richardson reached out for the ball again, and he still wanted to hit Chen Yan.

Not only because of Chen Yan's honeyed smile that was suspected to be mocking.

According to the scout report, Chen Yan seemed to be the best bully, and he was a breakthrough.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the scouting report, but Chen Yan is no longer the boy he used to be, he has changed more than a little bit!

Chen Yan was lying in ambush beside Richardson, ready to launch [God-Level Stealing] at any time.

He didn't get stuck, and he didn't go halfway forward, just to create an illusion of safety for his opponents.

As long as the opponent dares to pass the ball, he dares to break it!

New Mexico State University point guard Doug Brown didn't choose to pass.

It wasn't because he had insight into Chen Yan's defensive intentions, but because New Mexico State University saw signs of momentum on the Texas side and deliberately slowed down the offensive rhythm.

However, this method often destroys the team's original offensive rhythm.

Doug Brown dribbled the ball at the top of the arc to control the time, and with 9 seconds left on the shot clock, he gestured for a pick-and-roll.

The University of Texas switched defenses very quickly. Doug Brown saw that there was no good opportunity, and took the ball out of the three-point line to reorganize.

Seeing that time was running out, Doug Brown did nothing but transfer the ball directly to Richardson at the top of the arc.

Richardson was shocked!

MMP!

You just asked for the ball but didn't give it back, now you think of me when you throw the blame?

With only 2 seconds left before the attack time of the round, Richardson directly faced Chen Yan's defense and made a strong shot!

Chen Yan knew that Richardson had no second option to attack now, so he could only make a strong shot.

Without doing anything, Chen Yan stretched out his long arms and leaped vigorously!

"Shh!"

Under Chen Yan's interference, Richardson made a hollow shot from outside the basket!

"beep!"

At the same time, the electronic buzzer of the stadium sounded.

New Mexico State University was defended against a 35-second violation!

The players of the Texas Longlegs are high-fiving each other on the court. At this stage of the game, defending every round is crucial to chasing points!

Serving from the baseline, DJ-Augustin dribbles the ball to the top of the three-point arc.

Chen Yan came out from the baseline to ask for the ball.

DJ-Augustin turned into a tool man, handing the ball to Chen Yan who is in good condition.

The consecutive scoring after playing made Chen Yan excited. After getting the ball, he directly gestured for all the players to pull away!

Facing Noah Richardson's defense, Chen Yan leaned over and lowered his center of gravity, first dribbled the ball with his left hand, and at the moment of pretending to break through, he suddenly slapped the ball to the right!

Without fancy movements, Chen Yan passed Richardson in one step, making it as clean as the road in the morning!

Noah Richardson's feet seemed to be nailed, and he stood still!

"Oh!! Beautiful shaking, clean! Chen froze Richardson!"

"It's pleasing to the eye! This shaking made me see the shadow of Iverson!"

The two commentators also cheered up in the commentary booth!

The fans at the scene stood up collectively!

However, Chen Yan's performance is not over yet!

"Mom, look! UFO!"

A young fan in a Texas long jersey pointed innocently at the field.

I saw Chen Yan stepping into the penalty area in one step, facing the insider Marcus Gill who came from the University of New Mexico to supplement the defense, he flew up with a violent dunk!

Marcus Jill was a little dazed, he had just stood in the defensive position, and before he could raise his hand, Chen Yan rode him!

What kind of monster is this?

Not only him, but even the coaches, players and even the live commentary of New Mexico State University were stunned.

You told me this is a drinking fountain player who can only score 1.3 points per game? ? ?
