NBA: My template has no limit
Chapter 15 They've Become Different
"Xu Feng, I really tried my best, but I just couldn't stop Iverson."
In the final minutes of halftime, Singh couldn't hold back any longer and told Xu Feng about his difficulties with frustration.
He wanted Xu Feng to help him come up with a solution, but Xu Feng just looked at him and smiled indifferently after hearing it.
"What do you mean, Xu Feng? I've always considered you a brother, you..."
"Don't rush, Singh, you didn't understand what I meant." Xu Feng quickly waved his hand and continued.
"Your thinking is flawed. He's Allen Iverson, a superstar in the league! Who are you? To put it bluntly, apart from DePaul, probably nobody knows you. Isn't it normal that you can't guard him?"
"I'm not saying this to make you give up on defense; on the contrary, I want you to fight even harder and stick with him!"
There's a Chinese proverb: "Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose." It means that if you don't have to pay a price, you don't need to care about anyone! You have the least psychological burden.
All you need to do is be your most aggressive self, stick with him, bite him, make him feel the pain, make him hesitate before attacking, and let everyone see that De Paul's Singh is no coward! That's enough!
"We believe in you, and you must believe in yourself!"
……
During halftime, the game's viewership skyrocketed, surpassing 6.5 million viewers, making it the fourth most-watched NCAA regular season game so far!
CBS Sports President David Canning was so shocked he was speechless. After a long silence, Canning let out a long sigh.
"Unfortunately, he is an Asian with yellow skin."
"Will Georgetown be upset by De Paul and Xu Feng in the final game? Can they regain their momentum in the second half? We'll have to wait and see!" the host announced in the noisy stadium.
At the start of the second half, Xu Feng clearly noticed that Georgetown's defensive intensity against him was much higher.
They were willing to commit fouls to send Xu Feng to the free-throw line rather than allow him to penetrate the three-point line.
However, attention spans are limited, and in their focus on marking Xu Feng, they relaxed their defense against the others.
DePaul and three others spread out on the perimeter. Xu Fengqiang charged into the paint, and in an instant, two players rushed up to double-team him, with a third player also eager to join the attack.
Once Xu Feng continued to try to force his way through, he was trapped in Georgetown's encirclement, and the tight defense left Jordan helpless!
After taking two steps, Xu Feng suddenly stomped his front leg down and his back leg down at the same time, revealing the deep muscle lines on his thighs. Xu Feng's footprints were even visible on the floor!
He abruptly stopped, then, while drawing the attention of all five opponents, delivered a bounce pass.
The basketball, with a slight spin, shot towards the ground, bouncing right under Bubbaca's crotch before arcing in a beautiful arc towards Tome on the wing.
Tome's defender, Bubacar, was completely open in front of Xu Feng!
Tome makes his move!
Swish!
Three-pointer goes in!
"WOOOO~ This pass reminds me of Tim Hardaway. With his powerful physique and broad team vision, Xu Feng is the commander on the field, controlling everything!" The commentator praised him generously.
"This De Paul team is different; they rise to the challenge against strong opponents, full of power and passion!"
De Paul's teammates had no illusions of winning; they just hoped to avoid a humiliating defeat.
They knew that, apart from Xu Feng, none of the others had the strength to fight Georgetown.
The opposing team has several players with NBA potential, but what about DePaul?
I don't even know if I can make a living by playing basketball after graduation.
But once the competition started, they realized their ideas were flawed.
Xu Feng seems to be even stronger than I imagined, and his influence on Georgetown is greater than I expected.
His opponents were terrified because of him, but as teammates, they were brave because of Xu Feng.
They regained their courage and confidence, and no matter the outcome, they were determined to show their brilliance.
Even if you lose, you have to take a piece of the flesh from your opponent!
Singh watched Iverson's steps closely; he had to keep up with the man, or at least disrupt him!
In January, the Horizon Arena was as hot as midsummer, but only Iverson could feel the chill of winter.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, overwhelmed by exhaustion and powerlessness. Despite the shouts all around him, Iverson couldn't hear a thing.
His hairband was soaked with sweat and incredibly heavy. If he knew that there was a famous book in the far East called "Journey to the West," he would surely empathize deeply with Sun Wukong.
There's a Buddha on the other side, how am I supposed to play?!
Iverson was exhausted, both physically and mentally. He finally managed to get around the increasingly difficult Singh, only to find that the 2.03-meter-tall giant standing in front of him.
With a smiling face and arms outstretched, blocking out the sun, he makes people feel no desire to attack.
He gave up; he no longer wanted to challenge Xu Feng.
Iverson could only pass to Jerome, but Jerome is different from Tomei; Jerome doesn't have a three-point shot!
Moreover, DePaul has a switching defensive strategy, and Singler had already moved outside to guard Jerome.
So when Jerome hastily released the ball, the two-meter-tall giant tossed it through the air in a high arc.
It slammed hard against the top edge of the backboard!
boom!
Although the shot didn't go in, it struck a chord in the hearts of the Georgetown players, shattering their last shred of confidence.
They excel at using delaying tactics when they have the advantage, which can both secure points and break down the opponent's mentality.
Tonight, they didn't use any delaying tactics once, and their mentality was also broken by their opponents.
The Cardinals at least have their attacking duo, while Georgetown only has Allen Iverson.
The lack of three-pointers was magnified tonight. When the opponent had a forward like Xu Feng to suppress Iverson's isolation plays, Georgetown completely shut down!
Meanwhile, in the VIP section, Philadelphia 76ers president Pat Cross and team manager Brad sat side by side.
They are the strongest contenders for the number one draft pick; to be more aggressive, they have a 33 percent chance of almost securing the top pick this year.
Brad broke the silence in the box first: "The game is over. Georgetown lost, and Iverson lost too."
"Yes, Xu Feng has influenced the entire Georgetown." Pat took a sip of red wine and sighed softly.
"But so what? We can't deny Iverson's unparalleled talent, fighting spirit, and the broadest market appeal. He brings fame and money!"
"We absolutely cannot gamble our valuable high draft pick on a player who has been plagued by injuries and whose future is uncertain, even his ability to play a full season healthily!"
Brad completely agreed with Pat's assessment, and they wouldn't waver: "You're right, at most we can only give him a tryout after he enters the race, if he can hold on until then."
Smiles returned to their aged faces, their glasses clinked together, and they drank it all in one gulp.
The delaying tactic was rarely seen on the opposite side of Georgetown, and De Paul used a stable positional warfare to pronounce a death sentence on Georgetown!
There was no tense final round, no suspense whatsoever, and the match ended with thirty seconds remaining.
81-61, a twenty-point margin, De Paul defeats Georgetown!
Xu Feng once again achieved a triple-double with 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 14 assists. Although his scoring decreased, his overall impact on the game became more comprehensive.
This was a team victory.
"De Paul's players displayed extraordinary ability, with everyone performing exceptionally well. They showed us the power of teamwork, and tonight De Paul showed absolutely no fear of any strong team!"
"Ever since Xu Feng achieved the school's first triple-double, he seems to have become unstoppable! His miracle continues. How far can this dark horse rise in the league?"
Jim tried hard to control his tone, trying to keep it calm as usual, but the rising intonation at the end betrayed him.
After saying the last word, he turned off the microphone, covered his face with his hands, and tears welled up between his fingers.
Singh grabbed Xu Feng's soaked jersey, the over 1.9-meter-tall black man burying himself in Xu Feng's arms like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest, his voice choked with emotion:
"We won... We actually beat that damn top ten in the nation! We dominated Iverson! We really did it, we... we did everything!"
Singh shook Xu Feng like a madman, wiping Xu Feng's face with snot and tears.
Xu Feng reached out and hugged Singh tightly. He was equally excited, and his arms trembled uncontrollably.
"Yes, we did it! It felt amazing! It was even better than launching!"
Singh burst into laughter through his tears: "That's not necessarily true, brother."
His teammates embraced each other, and Hottinger chuckled in a deep voice; the red on Brian's face had long since soaked through his original white; Joey was embracing the coaching staff and every player, and it was Tomey's turn.
DePaul is enjoying their dream moment!
