Return from the timeout and the game continues.
After being comforted by his brother Taylor Griffin, Griffin's emotions have calmed down.
"He is just a nobody. You may encounter him once in your life. Do you deserve to be angry with him?"
What my brother said makes sense, and Xu Yong is not only an unknown person, but also the yellow man with the least talent among all players.
As for the dunk just now, it was just because he took off after assisting in defense. If he had taken off at the same time, Xu Yong would have been blocked by him.
Xu Yong's technical foul free throw came back.
His thoughts had been brought back at this time, and his eyes became firmer.
Now that life has started over, he must seize every opportunity!
"Uh-huh!"
Xu Yong's technical free throw hit steadily, and the score difference on the field came to 9 points.
And, it’s the Devils’ ball.
"Come on! Devils!"
Arizona fans also cheered for the home team again.
Harden continued to attack with the ball, and Xu Yong saw it and put up a pick-and-roll again.
His shoulder width is very good, which makes his pick-and-roll quality.
Harden used the pick-and-roll to drive towards the basket, and after attracting a double attack, he once again distributed the ball to Xu Yong.
This time the Sooners did not make up the defense easily, and Xu Yong got a good three-point opportunity.
He adjusted his breathing, took aim, and then took a step back to take a three-point shot.
The ball was thrown correctly, but with less force and hit the front of the basket.
But after the throw, he knew it was too small, so instead of waiting there, he rushed in to grab it.
Griffin also threw away Pendegraf and rushed out, but Xu Yong grabbed it one step ahead of him and then rushed towards the basket.
His movement was so fast that the rest of the Sooners didn't even have time to defend this time!
In the blink of an eye, Xu Yong had reached the basket and soared into the air with all his strength.
"Bang!"
A one-handed tomahawk dunk slammed the ball into the basket.
With this dunk, his head went over the basket!
Before the ball was smashed in, the crowd cheered in advance.
22 to 33.
The score difference has reached double digits!
The Sooners players looked confused at this point.
It's not that they didn't expect that they might encounter difficulties. After all, the Devils have James Harden, who is on the same level as Griffin.
But they never expected that it was not Harden who put pressure on them, but the unknown person named Xu Yong in Taylor Griffin's mouth!
Xu Yong also took a long breath after dunking.
Just one word, cool!
When he returns to China in the future, he must share his feelings at this moment with that guy Cai Xiao!
After Xu Yong's tomahawk dunk, the morale of the Sooners dropped to rock bottom.
At this point they can only hope for Griffin.
Griffin continued to hold the ball, but instead of playing in the low post, he started a pick-and-roll with the team's forward Willie Warren.
If he can't beat Xu Yong, he can't beat the rest of the Devils team?
This choice is very smart, but Xu Yong will not let him succeed easily. He shrinks in advance and blocks Griffin's breakthrough route.
Griffin saw this and did not stop his momentum. Instead, he rushed forward.
The weight difference makes it difficult for Xu Yong to gain an advantage in this kind of mobile confrontation, and the fact that the previous offensive foul was not called also let him know that Griffin has some "privileges" from the referee, and simply drawing a foul may not necessarily succeed.
So, at the moment he was knocked down, he fully demonstrated his experience and swatted the ball in Griffin's hand before falling to the ground.
After Griffin felt the resistance, he instinctively pulled the ball upwards. As a result, the ball flew directly into the sky.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, jumped quickly to avoid Pendegraf's interference, and regained control of the ball.
Because he was very close to the basket, he jumped up and prepared to finish with a pull-up layup.
Then something unbelievable happened again. Xu Yong, who was supposed to be lying on the ground, suddenly appeared in front of him and flew his ball cover out of the field with a wave of his hand at the moment he took action. Outside.gif!
He didn't cover Xu Yong before, but now he is covered by Xu Yong!
The fans at the scene were stunned.
Even the referee's whistle for going out of bounds was a second late.
Many people didn't understand what happened just now.
Even though the replay was shown on the live screen, many people still looked in disbelief.
What kind of incredible bullet speed is this!
Xu Yong gave them a little yellow shock.
Then, there was overwhelming cheers.
It was a dunk and a block. Xu Yong not only did not lose in the matchup with Griffin, but also had the upper hand!
Xu Yong's expression was relatively calm at this time. As a reborn person, he was familiar with Griffin, but Griffin was very unfamiliar to him. In addition, Griffin was only in the first grade, so it would be strange if he couldn't suppress him.
And to get to where he is today, his efforts over the past two years have been beyond imagination!
Both sides mobilized their troops at this time, but Xu Yong was kept on the field.
Devils head coach Herb Sandeck showed full trust in Xu Yong.
His trust soon paid off.
The Sooners' offense made a mistake, and Devils point guard Glaser threw the ball forward after completing the steal.
Xu Yong caught the ball while running, and then rushed across the center line with his head down.
Then when I turned around, I found that no one was catching up behind me.
This means giving up even if you know you can’t catch up.
Seeing this, he knew that the morale of the Sooners was on the verge of collapse.
Then, let me give you the final blow!
Thinking about it, Xu Yong suddenly started to slow down, took a breath, rushed to a position one step inside the free throw line and jumped into the air.
But what was different from the previous dunk was that he started to turn around immediately after jumping up, and while turning, he also swung the ball in a full circle.
This familiar forward swing, the familiar top of the head is half of the head above the bottom edge of the backboard.
The fans at the scene were stunned because they knew what Xu Yong was doing.
For fans, this classic move made by Carter in the dunk contest six years ago is too familiar to them!
Moreover, the gracefulness of Xu Yong's movements was simply carved from the mold of Carter.
From a yellow player.
"Bang!"
Xu Yong completed a 360° turn and dunk, slamming the ball into the basket.gif!
And after completing the dunk, Xu Yong raised his hands high in front of the home audience.
The entire Wells Fargo Arena was in a boil.
"God! Even yellow people can fly!" The home commentator stood up in amazement.
He has been commentating for Arizona State University for decades. It is not like he has never seen yellow and Asian players in the NCAA, as well as various Asians and Chinese. There are actually not many people playing here. They have given him a certain impression. He has a certain level of shooting, but his confrontation and basic skills are poor, and his jumping is even worse.
But Xu Yong really subverted his perception of yellow players.
He is really, really good at dunking!
No, not only can he dunk, but the confidence that comes from his bones is also completely different from the yellow players he has seen.
This yellow guy can definitely make it to the NBA!
…
After halftime, the score was 26-38.
The Devils entered halftime with a huge 12-point advantage.
The NCAA game only has two halves, each lasting 20 minutes. This lead has allowed them to step into the door of victory with one foot.
In the locker room, after Sandek finished explaining the tactical arrangements, everyone entered free time.
Xu Yong became the focus of discussion among his teammates at this time.
"Xu, how did you do that? That's Griffin, and you actually hit the ball into the basket through him!"
"I think it was the same shot. I didn't even notice that Xu suddenly jumped up and blocked the ball!"
"Isn't the 360° windmill the most impressive? That's Carter's signature move. Hey, Xu, tell me how you did it?"
…
"Just jump up like this, then swing the ball up when you turn around, and when it reaches the highest point, just dunk the ball in." Xu Yong stretched out his hand and gestured.
This answer made everyone stunned, followed by a burst of whistles.
"He is Xu!" The team's former starting forward Jaylen Shipp said with emotion during the whistle.
His teammates whistled even louder.
Harden also smiled and shook his head, looking at his happy teammates, he couldn't help but think of the day he first met Xu Yong.
…
