Chapter 25 Advance to the semi-finals! Durant's mother's deadly kiss!
When the camera swept away, Iverson was shaking his head on the sidelines, Mourning was smiling bitterly, and even Uncle Mu, who looked happy every moment, was silent.
Chen Yan not only conquered the fans on the sidelines with his personal performance, but also impressed many Georgetown celebrities!
There are no domestic broadcast rights for March Madness, but many fans follow the game through live text broadcasts.
"Damn it! A 220cm big center with a dunk? Is this real or fake?"
"Is this a direct takeoff?"
"Please give me a video, please give me a gif!"
Soon, an animated picture of Chen Yan dunking on Hibbert appeared on a certain fighting forum.
Within a few minutes, the comments below exploded!
"Awesome! I can't think of another adjective besides awesome!"
"This speed...this explosion...are you telling me that this is our domestic defender?"
"This image reminds me of Carter's death dunk at the Sydney Olympics!"
"So handsome! So explosive!"
"If he is too handsome when playing, what is the difference between him and Chen Yan?"
A small animated picture made Chen Yan gain a wave of fans.
After the timeout, Chen Yan and Durant were still on the court.
Georgetown is already showing signs of collapse, and the two are preparing to work together to take away the game in the next few minutes!
Early on, Hibbert and Jeff Green played a pick-and-roll, and Green hit a mid-range shot to help Georgetown stop the bleeding in time.
On the other side, Chen Yan succeeded in two consecutive singles.
Same location, same crossover!
Chen Yan said that even if he told his opponents all the offensive routes, they would not be able to defend him!
Georgetown University head coach John Thompson III fully realized that asking this guy to go 1-on-1 was no different than giving away points.
In the next few rounds, he tried to double-team Chen Yan, which gave Durant some opportunities. The coach hit high jumpers one after another.
Then John Thompson III tried to restrict Durant through assisting defense. As a result, Chen Yan broke into the inside to cause damage and got consecutive free throw opportunities.
Georgetown wanted to defend both, but ended up being unable to defend both.
Durant and Chen Yan have both opened up. This is the situation that the opponent least wants to see.
As the score difference gets bigger and bigger, Georgetown University also struggles more and more.
Neither Jeff Green nor Hibbert has strong scoring explosiveness.
It's okay to let them play an advantageous or balanced game, but it's too difficult for them to fight such a big headwind.
John Thompson III made a gesture and called timeout again.
However, this timeout seems more symbolic, because the score difference between the two sides has widened to 21 points at this time, and there are 8 minutes and 04 seconds left before the end of the game.
"Hibbert should play tougher! He gave Texas too many opportunities under the basket, which should not be done. In addition, he did not protect the rebounds very well." During the timeout, Van Gundy said
I couldn't help but complain.
"I think he was too tired. Constant fighting with defensive players exhausted his physical energy, and the previous dunk seemed to have affected his condition." Mike Breen said on the sidelines.
Chen Yan's dunk really had a great impact on Hibbert. Although he tried his best not to think about that moment, that image still appeared in his mind unconsciously every time he saw Chen Yan on the court.
After the timeout, Hibbert missed a mid-range jumper, and Texas counterattacked on the spot!
DJ-Augustin flicked one hand and accurately found Chen Yan with a long pass!
After receiving the ball, Chen Yan did not choose to do it by himself. Instead, he hit the ground with his crotch and found Durant who was following up.
At the moment of passing the ball, Chen Yan had already opened his arms in advance towards the camera in the corner.
"Bang!"
Durant is soaring unmarked!
A one-arm dunk to end the battle!
The huge lead allowed the young people from Texas to play more and more relaxedly.
From the beginning to the end, no player from Georgetown stood up to say a word of encouragement to his teammates.
They don't have a real leader, a bit like the University of Texas before Chen Yan's rise.
And a team without a leader cannot make a comeback in this situation.
As time passed by, many Georgetown University fans had already foreseen the outcome of the game and shed tears in the stands in advance.
The Texas fans were smiling brightly, singing the Longhorns team anthem, and some fans even held up the slogan "Advance to the Final Four" prepared before the game.
The contrast between the fan groups of the two sides is very sharp.
On the court, Georgetown University cooperated with Jeff Green and Vernon McLean on cuts. The latter got to the basket and then made a light reverse layup.
"Retreat! Retreat! Go faster!"
The Georgetown coach yelled from the sidelines that they had not given up the game yet.
Georgetown's players are very tenacious, but what Chen Yan needs to do next is to make them recognize the reality.
In this round, Chen Yan played a simple and rough game. He used Damian James' body as a screen and then shot without the ball. He caught the ball and shot at a 45-degree angle from the free throw line.
"Whoa!"
Shoot through the net and enter the soul!
In the next round, taking advantage of Georgetown's coordination errors, Chen Yan launched a counterattack!
Outside the three-point line, Chen Yan suddenly made an emergency stop!
Shake the defensive player two meters away and pull it out!
Three-point attempt after transition from offense to defense!
"Bang!"
The ball is a little crooked.
But Damian James sprinted and grabbed an offensive rebound!
Chen Yan fed him a lot of cake tonight, and Damian James said it was time to reciprocate the favor.
The moment he landed, Damian James turned around!
Chen Yan catches the ball and goes up into the wind!
Smart and elegant!
Gliding chop!
"Boom!!"
The wailing of the basket echoed throughout FedEx Arena in the next second.
The young men at Georgetown University heard that this was not the sound of a dunk, but the sound of their dreams being crushed!
...
...
"Dear viewers, the game is over! In the end, the Texas Longhorns defeated the Georgetown Marvel 91-67 and advanced to the final four!"
"Kevin Durant scored a game-high 38 points in this game. Chen Yan also broke out in this game, scoring 36 points, 6 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks!"
After Mike Breen finished his speech like a cannonball, Van Gundy quietly added something from the side.
"Chen cutting 30 is no longer considered an explosion, it is considered a stable output."
On the NCAA March Madness stage, scoring 30 points is considered a stable output...
Van Gundy said a famous saying from the moment he opened his mouth!
"Kevin! Kevin you are the best!"
As soon as the game ended, Durant jogged and came to his mother Wanda.
After the two hugged, Wanda held Durant's forehead and gave him a big kiss!
Many people say that Durant is a mama's baby who won't grow up, and Chen Yan in his previous life felt the same way.
It wasn't until after spending time with him for a year that Chen Yan realized that Xiaoshuai was just a filial son.
Mommy's boy and Oedipus are all labels randomly assigned to him by the outside world.
His mother, Wanda, is more important in Durant's heart than anyone else, because in order to support Durant's growth, his mother, Wanda, can be said to have given everything he could.
When Durant was 8 months old, his father, Wayne Platt, abandoned their mother and son.
In order to keep Durant and his brother off the streets, well fed, and clothed warmly, his mother worked two jobs every day.
He works during the day, works the night shift at the post office at night, and supervises the training of Durant and his brother during his breaks from get off work. There is no time for himself at all.
When Durant was a child, he witnessed his neighbor being shot dead. Despite the poor family conditions, his mother resolutely chose to move for the sake of Durant's mental health.
After that, I moved several times due to environmental reasons.
It’s like the American version of Meng’s mother moving three times!
Chen Yan also went up to say hello to Durant’s mother, Wanda.
Wanda also hugged Chen Yan enthusiastically.
She knew that Chen Yan was Durant's roommate. The two had a good relationship in private and were the best comrades on the court.
After the hug, Wanda was ready to take a bite on Chen Yan's forehead, just like she did to Durant.
Just when Wanda was about to kiss him, Chen Yan subconsciously dodged, which was extremely extreme!
Chen Yan understood that this was the aunt's way of expressing her enthusiasm, but she just couldn't accept it...
This scene happened to be captured by the broadcast camera.
Van Gundy laughed loudly after seeing this: "It seems that Chen Yan is not only fast on the court, but also very quick off the court. He accelerated and dodged to avoid Durant's mother's fatal kiss!"
"A kiss of death? Hahahaha!"
Audiences in front of TV sets across the United States were delighted.
Fans have said that Van Gundy is so suitable for commentary, and the effect of the program is simply explosive. The previous coaching job really buried the talent of the bald man.
