Chapter 13 The Dilemma of the First Half
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the game started on time under the attention of many media and scouts.

As North Carolina, which has played a lot of stars, they have a reason to come to watch this game and record four players on the North Carolina team who are about to enter the NBA.

But in this game, they still mainly look at the yellow-skinned player.

The Devil Deacon in the dark gold uniform and the North Carolina Tar Heels in white stood on the field.

After all the pre-match matters were done, the two teams began to scramble for the ball under the referee's whistle.

Snowden did not disappoint the Devil's Deacons this time, beating Tyler Zeller to win the opening first attack.

The ball was passed to Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with an unfocused expression.

Jiang Yan knew that her condition was not good, so she directly put the ball into the hands of Snowden, who had just arrived inside, and signaled him to play singles.

After all, in the past North Carolina game videos, the North Carolina center was thin and weak, and his lack of explosive power was visible to the naked eye.

The tactic Jeff designed was to let Snowden go crazy inside, either to let Zeller get into foul trouble, or to score directly.

Anyway, it is to cause lethality.

Snowden held the ball inside and leaned against the thin Zeller behind him. He turned around without thinking too much, squeezed Zeller away with his body, and then made a violent dunk.

"Roar!" Snowden yelled at Zeller after getting off the basket.

Zeller saw the fierce appearance of the strong Snowden, who was born with iron and blood, and directly pressed his head against Snowden.

The opening is hot.

Seeing this, the players on both sides rushed over to protect Snowden and Zeller. At the same time, the referee came here as if he was about to blow the whistle.

In the end, under the restraint of both sides, a group fight disappeared virtually.

However, the competition has become more intense.

Possession transition, when North Carolina is on offense.

Devil Deacon's backcourt is still the familiar defensive system.

But this time Jiang Yan was defending the opponent's star player Marshall.

Marshall is also a legendary figure.

The media's evaluation of it is that a traditional point guard with excellent field vision and passing has a deeper understanding of the game.

Marshall, with a height of 1.9 meters three and a weight of 89 kilograms, has a standard point guard figure and was also a first-team All-American rookie last year.

As a sophomore in North Carolina, he played well last year and won the NCAA assists leader. He should have participated in the NBA draft and will also be in the lottery.

But in order to win the NCAA championship in North Carolina, he resolutely chose to enter the NBA, just to win the championship in North Carolina.

North Carolina did not let Marshall's intentions go to waste.

First of all, although North Carolina's regular season record this year did not win the national regular season championship.

But North Carolina, which has four potential stars, is still the biggest favorite to win this year.

So Marshall, like Jiang Yan, is North Carolina's ball controller and one of the team's four core players.

Jiang Yan looked at Marshall, who was about the same height as him, and shook her head. Although this year's Marshall has improved slightly compared to last year, he is far inferior to Jiang Yan in terms of assists.

You know, Jiang Yan averaged 12.8 assists per game in the regular season.

This is the first such high in NCAA history.

Marshall looked at Jiang Yan, who was as tall as him, standing in front of him, and snorted coldly.

He hated Jiang Yan for stealing his second team and assists this season.

You must know that this season he also scored excellent data of 8.1 points, 9.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

He also wants to use this data to become the No. [-] pick this year.

But all of this was destroyed by Jiang Yan.

Cutting off people's money is like killing one's father!
Marshall turned around and leaned against Jiang Yan.

North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said that Jiang Yan's biggest shortcoming is her poor offensive ability, followed by her weak body.

As Marshall, who owns 89 kilograms, he is directly 16 kilograms heavier than Jiang Yan (Jiang Yan later gained 2 kilograms).

Marshall leaned tentatively at first, and after realizing that Jiang Yan was standing against him, he, who was good at turning around with his back, immediately turned around quickly and passed Jiang Yan.

And even if Jiang Yan has a wingspan of 211cm, it is useless.

Because after Jiang Yan was broken through, Snowden, who was defending inside, immediately stepped forward to help defend, intending to give Marshall a blood cap.

But Marshall's passing ability is also top-notch.

With a flick of the wrist, a hand was passed directly from Snowden's armpit to Zeller, who had been cruising in the three-second zone under the basket.

"Peng!" Zeller also slam dunked directly from the spot.

"what………"

After Zeller finished dunking, he patted his chest and yelled at the audience.

"Okay!" This directly made all North Carolina fans stand up and applaud Zeller and North Carolina wildly.

In their view, this was Zeller's answerball, a direct and forceful response to Snowden's dunk in the first round.

After Zeller finished shouting, he and the North Carolina generals returned to the second half to wait for the Devil Deacon's attack.

After Jiang Yan comforted Snowden who was serving, she dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again.

Jiang Yan stood outside the three-point line and looked at North Carolina's defensive formation. This was an obvious one-on-one defense.

It seems that Roy believes in the defensive ability of North Carolina players.

Indeed, the reason why North Carolina has been recognized by many media this year is that it is not without reason that they will win the championship again this year.

Like the Devil Deacon team, North Carolina is also a team with a balanced offense and defense. Even if the two teams are compared, North Carolina is better than the Devil Deacon team in both offense and defense.

Therefore, in the regular season, Devil Deacon met North Carolina four times and lost all four games!

Jiang Yan thought for a while, and at this point, she had to ask someone to goug the opponent's defense.

Because after four games, Jiang Yan knew that Williams' running, catching and shooting tactics were not effective for North Carolina.

Because the opponent is an infinite single defense, once they encounter a pick-and-roll, they will switch defenses!
He compared his index finger, and then handed the ball to Javi, who was in a better position on his left.

Defending Javi is the opponent's starting shooting guard named Dolby.

His role in the North Carolina lineup is defense. North Carolina's offensive ability obviously does not need a shooting guard with offensive talent, because their starting small forward Harrison Barnes' offensive ability is considered the forefront of the entire NCAA .

Jiawei tried to break through in front of Dolby, but was perfectly defended by Dolby.

With five seconds left at the end, the ball returned to Jiang Yan's hands again.

Looking at the chronograph above his head, there was no extra time to pass the ball, so he closed his eyes and threw the ball.

But with Jiang Yan's three-point shooting ability not yet at the elementary level, how could he make a hit in this situation?
The best result is naturally blacksmithing.

The Devil Deacon team was helpless. In order to prevent the opponent's quick counterattack, they didn't think right, and quickly returned to the second half to defend North Carolina's offense.

However, the players of the Devil's Deacon team were still a step behind, especially Jiang Yan. I don't know what he was doing. He was still staring blankly at the sidelines when the others had already returned to halftime.

Naturally, North Carolina would not let go of this excellent opportunity. When Marshall dribbled the ball and rushed into the Devil's Deacon penalty area, North Carolina's small forward Barnes had quietly come to the right corner three-point line.

The Devil's Deacon team focused all their attention on Marshall, so naturally they couldn't defend Barnes.

After Marshall threw the ball to Barnes, Barnes threw the ball directly and easily as if training.

"brush!"

"Three...points...ba...en...s..."

The North Carolina fans in the arena stood up again and applauded loudly.

But Jeff stood up directly, came to the technical stage, and called a long timeout to the referee.

He frowned, very frowning, because Jiang Yan was sleepwalking on the court again.

This has happened more than once during training the other day!

When everyone returned to the bench, Jeff ignored the others and went directly to Jiang Yan.

He said solemnly: "Yan, we need you in this game. I don't know what's wrong with you, but you must focus on this game!"

Jeff paused, then pointed to a certain place in the auditorium, and continued, "Yan, you know, most of the people there are here for you, do you know who they are?"

Jiang Yan looked blank and did not answer.

"They are scouts from various teams in the NBA. Today they are here to inspect players! And if you lose to Marshall today, your draft prospects will definitely be cast a shadow!"

The last sentence, Jeff said a little heavy.

But Jiang Yan's expression was still blank.

Seeing this, Jeff had no choice but to sigh desolately, stood up and said to the others: "Okay, let's fight like this next..."

Jeff is no longer ready to let Jiang Yan play.

If Jiang Yan keeps playing, it's one thing to perform badly, but if she gets injured, it's not worth the loss.

……

Jiang Yan sat there with a dazed face but a wry smile in her heart.

Because just now, he saw Alice on the sidelines.

And next to Alice is Elsa.

Thinking of Alice, Jiang Yan felt a little headache, and thinking of sharing the same bed that night, he felt a little flustered!

Besides, Jiang Meiqi will be back in a day or two, if she sees that something is wrong between him and Alice, it will be another fight!
Thinking of these made him a little ache.

He now regretted agreeing to go out with Alice that night, and regretted not refusing that glass of wine!
And just when Jiang Yan was regretting endlessly here, a tragedy had already happened on the court.

The Devil Deacon team is being beaten by North Carolina.

North Carolina was a bit concerned about Jiang Yan's Devil Deacon team, but when Jiang Yan made a move, the opponent directly focused their defense on Javi and Williams.

It directly caused the Devil Deacon team to fall into a desperate situation where the offense could not be attacked and the defense could not be defended!
However, many players of the Devil's Deacon team did not give up.

Williams is still running on the court, Javi is still struggling to break through, and Snowden is struggling to grab rebounds.

After halftime, there was no suspense about the score on the court.

30:57, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind.

When Jia Wei and the others left the field, they were very frustrated, but there was still a stubbornness in their eyes.

It is this stubbornness that has been supporting them not to give up this game.

Although their core state was not there, they did not blame Jiang Yan, but resolutely carried the team on their shoulders.

Although the situation is very difficult, even if there is a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire ahead, they will fight resolutely until the last second for the Devil Deacon team!

　Ask for tickets, ask for collections!
