The rise of basketball legends

The moment the final whistle sounded, the long-awaited reporters rushed to Chen Yan's side!

There are even more reporters around Chen Yan than Durant!

After all, Durant scoring 29 points is a normal performance from the reporter's point of view, and Chen Yan scoring 33 points alone is a big surprise for everyone!

An unknown player of yellow race broke out in two consecutive games in March Madness. Even the reporter with the worst sense of smell saw a huge topicality in Chen Yan!

For reporters, topicality is traffic, and traffic is what they depend on most for survival.

Screams, flowers, applause and spotlights were all focused on Chen Yan at this moment!

After the last game, Chen Yan once again became the biggest star on the field!

"Chen, in this game, you have completed many wonderful moments that made the fans scream. Some fans even said that you were born for the top five balls. What do you think about this?" The reporter quickly handed the microphone to Chen Yan .

"I'm just playing in my own way, but I'm glad the fans like my playing style." Chen Yan replied cleanly and concisely.

"Chen! Did you know that this game tied Carmelo Anthony's single-game scoring record for a freshman in the NCAA tournament?"

"Really? I don't care about these. I care more about whether the team can win than individual scores."

"Chen, will you start the team in the next game?"

"It depends on the coach's arrangement, it's not up to me to decide, but as long as I'm on the court, I will definitely go all out."

"How would you rate Nick Young's performance tonight?"

The topic of Chen Yan and Nick Yang was inevitably brought up by reporters.

The two had a small spat before the game, and this kind of conflicting incident is what reporters like most.

However, Chen Yan's answer was beyond the expectations of all reporters.

"His singles ability is very strong, and he has a very good shooting level. It's just that he was a little unlucky tonight. In addition, he also has his own ideas on the defensive end. He is not as passive as the outside world. It wasn't as easy as it looked for me to play against him."

The reason why Chen Yan answered this way was not to brag about Nick Yang, on the contrary, he was bragging about himself to give himself a boost.

One is to show that you are very elegant, and the other is to make your opponent say a little bit awesome, and finally abuse him. Doesn’t that make you look more awesome?

Chen Yan doesn't have a team, not even an agent, everything has to be run by himself.

He was very patient during the interview and responded to every question.

For Chen Yan, it is not only an interview after the game, but also a promotion before entering the NBA draft.

On the other side, the players from the University of Southern California left the field lonely.

After watching that scene, Chen Yan wanted to give them a "Yijianmei" BGM.

Unlike the previous opponent, New Mexico State University, the USC players were sad but did not shed tears.

It's not that they don't love basketball enough, it's mainly because they were lagging behind from the very beginning of the game, and finally lost 27 points. They were already psychologically prepared for this loss.

......

......

After the game, the press conference scene.

"Coach Rick, first of all congratulations to you and your team for reaching the Sweet 16!"

"Regarding Chen Yan's performance of 20+ and 30+ in two consecutive games, and becoming a key figure in the team's victory, are you surprised by his performance?"

ESPN reporters took the lead in asking questions.

"He surprises us every day, whether in training or in games, I am very fortunate to have such a player."

The team successfully advanced to the next round. The head coach of the University of Texas, Rick Barnes, seemed to be in a good mood, and he did not hesitate to praise Chen Yan.

"Excuse me, have you formulated some personal tactics specifically for Chen?" The next Yahoo Sports reporter then asked.

"At first I had this idea, but soon I realized that it was unnecessary. Any tactics would only limit the talent of this young man."

"This guy has top-level athletic talent and the ability to combine people and the ball. In addition, his finishing ability at the basket is also top-notch. Putting the ball in his hands can always be easily converted into points. In my opinion, he is a walking scorer. The machine! But this is just the tip of the iceberg, I think he has a lot more potential waiting to be tapped."

As soon as he talked about Chen Yan, Rick Barnes would talk endlessly. It is not difficult to see that he likes his disciple from the bottom of his heart.

"In the game, we all saw Chen's amazing talent and excellent offensive skills, so why did he perform poorly in the previous games, and he only averaged 1.3 points and 1.1 assists per game throughout the season?" The reporter also asked most people's doubts.

"It's my problem. I didn't arrange him in the right position and didn't give him enough and stable playing time."

Rick Barnes took the blame on himself.

A good coach should not only formulate excellent tactics on the field, but also help the players to share the pressure off the field, especially in the "March Madness" where exposure and pressure coexist.

For players like Chen Yan who are likely to enter the NBA in the future, the coach has to consider his future even more. It cannot be said that he has been in poor form throughout the season, let alone because of injuries.

Because a word from the coach is likely to become one of the basis for scouts to investigate in the future, directly affecting the player's draft ranking!

However, at the end of the press conference, Rick Barnes still emphasized that he was the one who put him on the roster before the start of the March Madness training game and gave him a chance to play, proving that he was still discerning.

American Airlines Center locker room.

UT players are having a wild celebration!

The way they celebrate is with a bubble fight!

At first, Chen Yan refused, until he was attacked by DJ-Augustin like a strong man locked up...

During the bubble battle, Chen Yan discovered that the most shy person in the audience was actually Durant. Durant not only hid in the corner, but also held a tactical board to block his key parts.

Chen Yan said that he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly attacked DJ-Augustin from left to right.

The double-team treatment that Durant didn't get on the court tonight is now in the bathroom.

Durant quickly let himself go.

Durant, who was having fun, showed his wild side and began to chase people all over the locker room. His big feet were like a pair of flippers, and he ran very funny.

Seeing Xiaoshuai like this, Chen Yan suddenly realized.

This guy is not shy, but sullen!

Everyone in Texas is very excited to advance to the Sweet 16!

Unlike the previous top 64 and top 32, every game starting from the sweet 16 will be broadcast live across the United States!

This also means that the exposure of the players will directly rise to a higher level!

It can be said that compared with the previous two games, the Sweet 16 is a completely different journey!

Chen Yan is also looking forward to the next game more and more.
