In 2003, Chen Yan, a Chinese substitute in the NCAA Division II League, was regarded by everyone as a "engineer who only knows how to defend"-he was 196cm tall and had mediocre offense. Even his teammates ridiculed him that he "can't do anything but stick to others." It wasn't until a final game that determined the survival of the season that the "Defensive Cornerstone System" was activated in his mind. From then on, predicting the opponent's breakthrough route, seeing through the pick-and-roll fake move, and blocking the position to grab key rebounds became his game-changing weapon.
From the "double-cover defensive miracle" in the Horizon League Championship to overthrowing the top seed with key steals in March Madness, Chen Yan led his team to an upset with extreme defense, and even met Wade on a narrow road in the Sweet 16 - one is a Chinese dark horse who relies on defense, and the other is a future superstar who is both offensive and defensive. Their first matchup caused NBA scouts to write in the report: "This Chinese has a defensive awareness comparable to that of a league veteran."
