Chapter 24: The hesitation of scouts

Uduka, who was watching the game on the court, really wanted to make a call to RC and Popovich turn on the TV now. Jiang Yuntao has exceeded everyone's expectations. Simply put, the Spurs' estimates are insufficient and there are too few people sent!

Some decisions are not something he can do alone.

But now that the San Antonio Spurs are playing against the Golden State Warriors, they don't have time to deal with such trivial matters.

Indeed, for a rookie who temporarily scored a good half, the big guys would not pay much attention.

So Uduka has been gritting his teeth and deciding whether to try him out by himself. Now the season is in progress, and testing new players will inevitably disrupt the team's training plan, and he is weighing the trade-offs.

At the end of the half game, the score became 39 to 27, and the University of Texas led by 12 points!

Jiang Yuntao has scored 16 points, 2 assists and 3 steals, which is already a pretty good half-time answer in the NCAA. Some European team scouts on the scene are already ready to move. For example, the CSKA likes such players, and it makes Uduka feel hurt when he sees it.

The assistant coach of the Los Angeles Defenders (NBDL team under the Lakers) handed Uduka an ice coke and praised: "The Spurs are the Spurs, and such an unknown player can discover them, I'm convinced."

At the beginning of the second half, Jiang Yuntao was not placed on the court at the beginning, and probably thought he would be targeted by his opponents.

In fact, the same is true. When the score was approaching, Barnes tried to get Jiang Yuntao to play again. There were already Jiang Yuntao's fans on the scene. He cheered when he came on the court and was glared by the parents.

Then Jiang Yuntao didn't score a point within 5 minutes, because the opponent's strategy changed very quickly. Steve, head coach of the Bruins at UCLA, Alford, trained Westbrook's head coach. Of course, he knew how such an offensive player should defend himself, and directly used a 2.03-meter-long defense player to defend Jiang Yuntao.

Because Jiang Yuntao's figure is much weaker than the front line, he can't use some of the training to get rid of it. In addition, he lacks experience in the competition and is locked tightly.

"Damn, this is black, thick and hard." Jiang Yuntao's opponent was a black man with only eyes and teeth. He had a potted hairstyle and a super macho man. He looked at him and felt like he was going to eat Jiang Yuntao.

Some loopholes in Jiang Yuntao began to appear, and the difference in physical fitness made him consume infinitely on the defensive end. The opponent just stared at Jiang Yuntao's attack. Jiang Yuntao had never studied the opponent's defense. Sometimes he should be on the left hand and put the opponent on the left. Fortunately, there is a big gate in the interior, otherwise he will have to take the blame.

Jiang Yuntao's physical strength was reduced by such a "torture", and his originally handsome hair was stuck to his forehead, and his whole body was sweating.

Xiao Li was worried about watching off the court, but the forward players of the University of Texas were happy. Because the strongest defensive player on the opposite side was pulled out of the three-point line by Jiang Yuntao, the forward line of the University of Texas was suddenly liberated, and Thompson and Young, Hayes and others felt that it was dawn, and the pressure suddenly decreased, and the score was bitten.

This is also the reason why Barnes did not replace Jiang Yuntao with a quick shot. Now Jiang Yuntao is threatened with shooting and can also restrain the opponent's strongest defensive player. As long as his contribution on the court is positive.

Jiang Yuntao didn't mention how hard he was. He felt that now was the most depressing game in his life, and it was difficult to breathe. He had never played a game of this level. He did not intend to stand outside the three-point line to open up space. When he wanted to get off the defense, he was like a magnet following him. It would be difficult to pass the offensive end by half. Think about it, a piece of iron plate leaning over. If he did not exceed the core strength of the defensive player, it would be difficult to achieve the established tactical goals.

"The defense is average, the physical fitness is poor, the forced shooting ability and dribbling offense ability are extremely poor, the court awareness is excellent, and the ball business is medium-sized." Wuduka now writes up what is good and bad when he sees it. He doesn't care about the result of this game. He just came to inspect Jiang Yuntao for the second time, and his eyes are all focused on Jiang Yuntao.

Several senior basketball analysts next to him also frowned. Is this Chinese player so easy to be targeted? Moreover, the lack of strength in his body can easily lead to vitreous physique.

As the game progressed, Jiang Yuntao never played again after 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, because in the end it was a head-on muscle collision, Jiang Yuntao was obviously not suitable, but he was breathing so hard that his long-term anaerobic running was like on a plateau.

Tencent anchor Wang Zixing also discovered Jiang Yuntao's shortcomings: "This Chinese student from Texas University will not make a breakthrough! So he was targeted when defending. There is no way. Our country's men's basketball point guard plays like this. It's too difficult to complete a breakthrough in the NCAA."

Jiang Yuntao, who played well in the first half, was just right in the second half. He tried his best not to make mistakes, and he always maintained his attitude on the court. After being replaced, he was ready to play at any time. Fortunately, his teammates were very powerful. The team withstood the last crazy counterattack of UCLA and finally defeated UCLA 87-83, playing the soul-stirring!

The commentator from the United States evaluated Jiang Yuntao in this game: "This Chinese Jiang is definitely the MVP of this game. If it weren't for his X-factor in the first half, the University of Texas and Austin would not have led by more than 10 points in the second half, so Jiang is a hero of this game, but this cannot conceal his shortcomings. As a point guard, you cannot combine a surprise shot, so many tactics cannot be played. The simplest breakthrough and pass-through is a feature that a qualified point guard must have, unless he keeps playing as a scorer."

ESPN commentators also made detailed reports in ESPN's NCAA area: "Bamba performed normally, Chinese surprise shot and exploded the California back line, and Texas University advanced to the top 32!"

In the end, Jiang Yuntao scored 21 points, 7 steals and 4 assists, including 6 of 9 three-pointers, with the highest efficiency value of 21 in the game.

Bamba scored luxurious data of 14 points, 23 rebounds and 7 blocks, but after the game he immediately went to the bench to embrace Jiang Yuntao. This kind of knockout match was too tense, and their offense was equivalent to Jiang Yuntao's change of fate alone.

"Victory belongs to you! Thank you!"

"Huh!!! Jiang!"

"Awesome!"

Xiao Li also rushed down to celebrate the Texas University basketball team. Jiang Yuntao's eyes were always paying attention to Uduka, thinking to himself why this big brother was not here yet, and he had not been able to inspect it.

However, he could not go over and ask directly now. He shook hands with the opponent's players one by one. The opponent's head coach Steve Alford patted Jiang Yuntao on the shoulder bitterly. He probably felt very frustrated. He would never have thought that a player who was once fired from the roster would become the opponent's X factor and beat them up with one hand.

But they were not convinced. Steve   Alford also believed that such a player could only be awesome in this game, and the game was smooth, so he would not praise him much.

Jiang Yuntao did not return to the locker room immediately. He was quite nervous because this data was everywhere in the NCAA, and any starting point guard in a top 64 school could have good data, but he was doing it according to RC Buford's expectations. He hoped that the Spurs could give him such a chance. That was the NBA, not the NBDL, nor the CBA!

Crossing mountains, rivers and seas to come to the United States to learn basketball just to play something.

Now, it may be the closest time to Ideal!
