Chapter 28 New Jersey Library

At halftime, De Paul trailed by six points, 51-45.

It appears that De Paul is behind, but in reality, both sides feel they have won.

Kentucky have never trailed in the second half in any of their wins this season.

This is not due to the blessing of God or Jesus, but rather the result of Pitino's terrifying training system.

In daily training, if a mistake is made or a shot is missed, the entire team is immediately punished with a long shuttle run.

Training sessions are strictly limited to drinking water, to the point that rookies who have just joined the team sometimes vomit during training. Pitino simply tells them to wipe up the vomit and continue training.

The "Kentucky Suicide Run" comes into play in the second half. When the opponent is exhausted from being worn down by Kentucky in the first half, they will have to face these five ironmen in the second half.

They get tired too, but they just need to be a little better physically than their opponents.

After the timeout, the players returned to the field.

This farce should end now. Let them see Kentucky's true strength.

"Go Big Blue!!! Go Big Blue!!!"

"Xu Feng, you spineless coward! Are you too scared to attack when you see KFC?! Go back to your hometown!"

Once the game starts, the Kentucky fans' frenzied attacks never stop.

"Are you alright, Xu Feng?"

A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from behind him. It was Watts. Xu Feng almost thought he had misheard, until Watts added another sentence.

"It's up to you now."

Throughout, Watts kept his eyes fixed on Kentucky, but his peripheral vision remained fixed on Xu Feng.

The unprecedented amount of screen time allowed Xu Feng to easily discern the turbulent emotions within this guy, which were definitely not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Duncan, I've found the poker face tutorial you've been looking for.

Xu Feng stretched out a hand.

"Trust me, I won't let you down."

Snapped!

The two gave each other a high five for the first time and smiled at each other.

"Xu Feng only scored 16 points in the first half, although he had 7 assists and 6 rebounds, but these statistics are unacceptable for this game."

"In contrast, Antoine Walker and Tony Delk performed admirably, scoring 14 and 18 points respectively. Against Kentucky, who never trailed in the second half, DePaul struggled to contain their speed!"

The same duo on the commentary desk didn't think De Paul had a good chance.

"Let me defend Walker."

Just as Antoine Walker received the ball in the low post and was about to charge into the paint, Xu Feng ran up behind him.

Walker was a bit confused. "Didn't you say you weren't going to play defense? I didn't see you marking anyone in the first half either!"

"Stubborn guy, still saying he doesn't like big butts," Singh muttered to himself.

But since you're here, I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Antoine Walker chose the exact same playing style as Xu Feng; he also wanted to back down his opponent in the low post!

"Hey, you think you can guard against me all by yourself? You'll pay for your arrogance!"

Walker lowered his weight and sat down, his firm buttocks immediately filling the gap between them.

He wasn't actually good at the solid post-up game like Hakeem Olajuwon; he was more inclined to use agile footwork and a drifting shot after a turn.

Walker turned his back to Xu Feng simply to create an opportunity for confrontation. When Xu Feng lost his balance, Walker would launch a surprise attack!

He used his butt to block Xu Feng, faked a baseline approach, then slammed his shoulder into Xu Feng before shooting a fadeaway jumper!

This smooth little combo usually works very well; almost no one can withstand it and can only watch helplessly as the ball bounces.

But tonight, it seems there was a small mistake.

Bang!

Damn it! What the hell is this thing?! I can't even bump into it!

He regretted it the moment he bumped into Xu Feng, who had gained weight and now weighed 108 kilograms, no less than Walker.

If there had been no impact, it would have been fine, but the rebound force propelled Walker backward, causing his movement to reach an angle that was difficult for him to control!

One leg is extended outwards, while the other leg controls the center of gravity.

At this moment, his movements resembled those of a seafood with pincers, or a football star from a later era!

state!--

Xie's backflip missed! Walker suffered a complete setback!

Xu Feng won't be so timid anymore. He let you guys off easy in the first half. If he doesn't make a move in the second half, you'll think he's just letting you off easy!

Xu Feng, who had been coasting through the first half, was still at his peak physical condition, so Joey said something to him during halftime:

"Xu Feng, I need you to take over the game. Your only task is to put the ball in the basket, no matter what method you use!"

So sometimes it's no wonder people say that being a coach is easy, because when a true superstar is on the team, the coach just needs to make sure that the player's energy is allocated to the right places.

Xu Feng dribbled the ball past half-court. Facing Anderson's defense, he only needed a few sharp changes of direction to get past him in one step.

Facing Walter's help defense, Xu Feng looped the ball behind his back and easily put it into the basket!

"Is it finally starting? Xu Feng's dragon attack has sounded the horn for the counterattack!"

Walker got the ball again, but this time he didn't dare to blindly go one-on-one, knowing it would anger Pitino.

He stood at the free-throw line with the ball, but the defender was no longer Xu Feng, but Brian, the weak point in the paint!

As expected of his defensive weakness, he actually dared to take a half step back! Wasn't that a provocation?!

His offensive instincts told him this was an opportunity, and he had every reason to go for a one-on-one!

Just as Walker dribbled the ball, Brian suddenly lunged forward, raising his hands high to obstruct Walker's view.

This is the method Xu Feng told him; it doesn't require breaking the rules, as long as you can interfere, it's considered a success.

On the weak side, Singh ran towards Walker, aiming for the ball in his hands!

Damn it! What should I do! Walker panicked as he faced the encirclement, but he remembered what Pitino had said.

"Remember, when you're restricted at the free-throw line, pass the ball to Delk in the corner, and he'll punish your opponent!"

Walker instinctively passed the ball to Delk in the bottom corner, where Delk was indeed.

But where did that big, yellow-skinned guy in front of him come from?

Xu Feng, who had already reached the corner, was waiting. He used his buttocks to block Delk, who was only 1.85 meters tall, and grabbed the basketball.

Everyone knew what was going to happen next.

Boom! —

Another powerful dunk, narrowing the gap. Xu Feng's unusual outburst in the second half reminded Pitino of De Paul's game against Wake Forest.

DePaul's intentions were all too clear, but who could stop Xu Feng in his prime at the NCAA level?

"Cover! Cover! Our attack can't be that simple!"

Even if the Kentucky players were more tired than Xu Feng, Pitino still had to have them use screens to wear down Xu Feng's stamina!

They have Delk, the most active shooter in the entire United States!

Delker went straight to the baseline at the start of the round, and Kentucky also had its own tactical adjustments to deal with the same Xu Feng.

Mark Pope stood in the elbow area as the first line of defense, and Delker circled out of bounds.

Walter McCarty sets a screen on the baseline, and Delk crosses into the penalty area.

Antoine Walker stood at the top of the arc, and Delker bounced out at a 45-degree angle to the weak side!

At the same time, he received Mercer's bounce pass, panting heavily, trying to keep his heartbeat as steady as possible.

Even Delk, who was known for his physical strength, was exhausted at this moment, and his legs felt weak and limp.

Delker's jump shot was much lower than usual, and he will pay the price for it.

Bang! A pair of long arms covered Delk.

"Xu Feng actually caught Delk's mid-range shot!"

Xu Feng dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and launched a three-pointer!

Swish!

"The second half has started with an 8-0 lead! Why is the arena so quiet? Is this still the semi-final? Or have I wandered into the New Jersey Library?!"
