Seeing this, after glancing at the game time, Prose immediately turned his gaze to Ronnie Evans, who had consistently faltered in critical moments ever since missing that equalizing shot against Connecticut last season.

If possible, Prose truly wished Evans could just sit on the bench and watch the whole game.

But tonight, Gray couldn't sustain his energy for the entire match.

So, looking at this "companion of Qin Yue," Prose mustered the courage and said, "Ronnie... in five minutes, I'll sub you in for Justin."

Additionally, because of the big energy drain on "Beast" Ellis, Prose also called up Kyle Visser, who was promoted from the reserve team this year.

Visser, standing 6 feet 11 inches tall, is a player who can help relieve Qin Yue's defensive pressure on the court.

Historically, Visser would be activated offensively by Prose during his senior year, growing into a quality college center averaging "17+7" per game.

But right now...

You can simply understand him as a "reluctant shooter" type of center.

On the court, as substitution time came around, Wake Forest made adjustments, and Illinois also subbed in Jack Ingram for Powell.

Throughout his college career, the 6-foot-10 Ingram had always been an obscure minor character.

It wasn't until he transferred from Tulsa to Illinois that Ingram found some value in his existence on the court.

Coach Weber immediately took a liking to his three-point shooting capability.

In the NCAA, not all players dream of making it to the NBA someday.

For minor characters like Ingram, playing each college basketball game well, and having a regret-free youth...

That already counts as success for him.

Notably, tonight is also Ingram's final game of his college career, as he is about to graduate.

On the court, after the substitutions, Illinois went on the offensive.

The minor character Ingram received a pass from Deron and hit a three-pointer.

After scoring, Ingram, with a face full of excitement, immediately looked for his family and friends in the stands.

"Did you all see that? That's my brother!" In the stands, Kelly Ingram, wearing an Illinois jersey, boasted to the surrounding die-hard Illinois fans.

Then, it was Wake Forest's turn to attack.

Paul and Qin Yue executed a pick-and-roll play.

Although Qin Yue was immediately double-teamed after receiving the ball,

due to Illinois' ill-timed and ill-positioned double-team, both Qin Yue and Paul, who had just passed him the ball, promptly noticed the Wake Forest player left open by Illinois.

Seeing this, Qin Yue took a deep breath and passed the ball over.

At the same time, the TV broadcast focused on Evans, who received Qin Yue's pass.

At this moment, this Wake Forest role player, who looked remarkably like Terrence Gibbs, adjusted awkwardly as he caught the ball, unlike his usual fluency.

Seeing this scene, Paul, feeling that Evans was about to falter again, hurriedly shouted, "Rebound!"

Swish——!

Actually, even before Paul shouted the word "rebound," Qin Yue had already rushed under the basket.

But what Qin Yue and Paul did not expect was that Evans...

He actually made it!

"Hey, Chris, you shouted too loud just now, almost affected my shot," Evans shouted to Paul as he retreated on defense.

Hearing this, neither Paul nor Qin Yue chose to respond to Evans.

Instead, they both tacitly kicked him once while retreating on defense.

Evans was furious, but faced with the "bullying" from Qin Yue and Paul, he could only choose to swallow his anger.

Back on Illinois's offensive end.

With the lesson learned from last time, Visser didn't give Ingram the opportunity to shoot after a pick-and-pop this time.

Brown dribbled and attempted a jump shot for two but missed, Qin Yue secured the rebound and immediately launched a fast break.

Although this scene wasn't the first occurrence tonight, Bruce Weber still felt that Qin Yue was too overpowering for college basketball.

"He only needs to dribble forward a few steps to cross half-court..."

On the court, after dribbling to the middle area, Qin Yue once again noticed Evans.

Because Qin Yue drew all the attention, Illinois players on the court didn't notice Evans, who had stopped near the frontcourt three-point line.

For a moment, Qin Yue genuinely wanted to storm the inside with the ball.

But after noticing Evans' face full of confidence...

Qin Yue still passed the basketball to him.

Swish——!

Evans decisively hit another three-pointer!

"How dare you leave the ACC's best shooter open?" After scoring, Evans took the initiative to taunt the Illinois players on the court.

It's just that...

The next second, the faces of the Illinois players were adorned with countless small question marks.

The best shooter in the ACC?

We don't understand, who exactly are you?

On the court, it was Illinois's turn to attack.

Hyde fired again, hitting a three-pointer from the top of the arc in Evans' face.

However, what none of the Wake Forest players, fans, or coaches expected...

On Wake Forest's offensive possession, Evans once again received a pass from Qin Yue and sank a three-pointer!

"Hello, Luthor, you better remember my name, Ronnie Evans, the best three-point shooter on the entire East Coast of the United States." On the court, looking up at Hyde, Evans said boastfully.
