New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 112 'Prince of Gaul' Leon

This exchange game aims to promote basketball for young people, even without the NCAA's signature.

Although the game was scheduled for the evening, it gave the Bruins plenty of time to adjust and warm up.

Because the University of Lyon's basketball hall is being refurbished, in order to match this event, a special application was made for the stadium of Lyon's largest basketball club.

During the warm-up period of the Bruins, the University of Lyon team arrived late. Of course, they all know about NCAA games, but they don't know much about the Bruins.

Zhang Yi noticed that more than half of the players in this team were black, which somewhat subverted his impression of the European team.

Among them, a Caucasian player with a good temperament and the most elegant hairstyle, although he did not reveal his name, Zhang Yi guessed that he was the opponent's trump card, the 'Prince of Gaul' Leon!
When the opponent took off his training coat, the name on the back of the jersey confirmed his judgment.The level of self-confidence that star players exude from the inside out is different from that of ordinary players.

Leon's eyes fell on Zhang Yi after scanning around. Although it was the first time they met, his eyes looked extremely excited.

Following the entry of the reporters were some people related to the game, and they swaggered to choose the best position on the sidelines to set up the machine.

Both teams were warming up in their respective halfs when Zhang Yi noticed a familiar-looking man among the crowd who came in.

The man was tall, with a straight waist, wearing a sports jacket, and his facial features were tough.

It wasn't just Zhang Yi who noticed, but all the players at the University of Lyon looked at him, especially Leon, who looked displeased.

Zhang Yi didn't care much about continuing to practice, but felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him all the time.

He didn't need to turn around to look to know which strange white man it was. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned his head to walk in front of the man.

"The Viking King team? What's your name?" Zhang Yi said excitedly in front of that person.

"'Xiao Yi'! Don't say you forgot my name?" Riley said excitedly, with a look of displeasure.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he recalled it vigorously. At this time, Leon also came over and said bluntly, "How do the security guards in this arena do things? Anyone who has nothing to do with it can just put it in there, Riley."

"Yes! Riley! Even if he didn't say it, I remembered it. It's a pleasure to meet, I didn't expect to meet again halfway around the world, the fate is really amazing."

Of course Zhang Yi has no intention of being his enemy, because in his opinion, this Riley is not qualified to be his enemy.

"Don't get close to me, do you dare to challenge me one-on-one after the game?!"

Riley twisted his neck and rattled as he spoke, with a serious expression on his face.

"Hehe, let people play four and ten minutes before playing against you, Brother Riley, is this the way to save face?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi instantly understood that although this Leon had a good face, he didn't seem like a good stubble.

"Hmph. Just relying on your University of Lyon team being able to stalemate with the Bruins for 10 minutes? Stop dreaming!"

This is not a match yet, the eyes of the two are already full of fighting spirit.Zhang Yi consciously stood aside and looked at the two of them.

"Calm down, I think what Riley said is okay, of course, if the arena allows time, I can also play one-on-one with you!"

Zhang Yi's words made those two people focus on him.

"Don't be ashamed! Isn't it just winning 10 consecutive victories in the Avengers? Do you think our University of Lyon team, which represents the highest level of French university basketball, is vegetarian?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Riley nodded together.

Leon's anger ignited instantly. He wanted to speak just now, but was discovered by the head coach and taken away.

"If the coach agrees to give me 10 minutes, then I will play with you."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.Riley froze for a moment, "10 minutes? Do you think it's to send the children away?"

"Ten minutes is too much talking!" Zhang Yi raised his hand and waved it, his tone so emotional that it made people mad.

Riley snorted softly, and was invited to the auditorium by the staff.The reason why he can come in is because the security guards here are his fans.

Leon's eyes are full of murderous intent, what he hates most is opponents with eyes above the top, "I will shake you with gorgeous footsteps!"

The audience entered the arena one after another, and the sidelines were in a mess. They spoke French, which Zhang Yi and others couldn't understand at all.

Every year, the NCAA will send strong teams here for exchange games, so most of these audiences understand the level of American college basketball.

When it was advertised as the UCLA Bruins, the local sports media in France said that the NCAA sent a big team.

Although he won ten consecutive victories in the Avengers, this is still a thousand miles away from the title of defending champion.

However, when the media introduced Zhang Yi, the ace player of the Bruins, they would naturally not let go of his status as the "Oriental Cooking God" in the Super Basketball League game.

Therefore, in addition to some Lyon University fans, there are also a large number of Super League game fans.

Except for Riley who flew over thousands of miles from Sweden, the fans gathered outside the venue consciously in order to see the demeanor of 'Xiao Yi'.

Then uniformly changed into his representative color red, entering the arena neatly like a phalanx.Europeans generally prefer to get together to support stars like this.

It's just that these are usually young people, and those who are a little older still support local teams.

The game started on time after a series of inspections, and the cameras were all in place.All the players of the Lyon University team were very excited. After all, this game was broadcast live across Europe, and if they played well, it might attract the attention of the American League.

No matter where they play at this moment, the goal of all basketball players will only be the American NBA!

Because Wacker agreed to give up the Dagong Yunxing City game to the Bruins, the NCAA also made a requirement that all the main players must play.

As a deal, of course Wacker will not let the water go, and sent his top five starters.

As soon as the game whistle sounded, Wally continued to play the center position and fought hard to help the Bruins get the ball.

The three members of the Lyon University team are all about two meters tall, the highest point is 211, but their jumping ability is not good.

Both the point guard and the shooting guard are about 1.9 meters high, which means they are still playing the traditional five-small lineup.

Faced with this situation, Wacker does not think his team will encounter any problems.

I saw Robert throwing away the opponent through the speed with the ball, smoothly cutting into the opponent's penalty area, and after attracting the defense, he distributed the ball to Wali under the basket. The latter easily dunked with both hands and scored without anyone defending!

One of the characteristics of a small lineup is speed.After the basketball was sent from the bottom line, the two had already rushed to the opponent's half.

I saw Leon holding the ball to face Zhang Yi's defense, making a slight adjustment outside the three-point line and shooting...

Although the defense is in place, the basketball still hits the frame. From this ball, it can be seen that Leon's hand feels very hot today!
"Did you see? You can't guard me!" Before the game started, Leon made up his mind to shoot resolutely as long as he was facing Zhang Yi. Once the opponent's confidence was shaken, he would use a breakthrough to give him the final blow.

There was nothing wrong with this idea, but he underestimated Zhang Yi too much.

Amidst the cheers of the Lyon University supporters, Zhang Yi returned a three-pointer against Leon in a similar position, and he was more determined than his opponent when he caught and shot!
Those fans just now suddenly fell silent, replaced by the applause of 'Xiao Yi' personal fans!
"Continue to vote if you have the ability!" Zhang Yi said coldly, his temperament was completely different from his frivolous appearance on the sidelines.

"Hmph! Afraid of you?" Leon replied immediately, and opened his hands for the ball...
