NBA: My template has no limit

The main theme of the second half was Kentucky's eight-man rotation against their lone player, Xu Feng.

No one could have imagined that Kentucky, who were leading for the entire second half, would suffer a defeat at the hands of Xu Feng.

Pitino even resorted to a three-pronged fast break, running with all their might on the court, but they still couldn't shake off that ghost-like man.

Xu Feng became an inescapable shadow in their hearts.

Mercer wanted to punish Singh by misjudging him, but Xu Feng appeared beside him, forcing him to hand over the basketball.

Turner finally managed to get past DePaul's zone defense and into the paint, only to be met with a well-prepared block from Xu Feng.

Anderson capitalized on Watts' passing error, intercepting the ball, and Turner sprinted to the backfield to receive Anderson's pass.

But when he looked back, he saw Xu Feng advancing at full speed, saw Xu Feng's tall figure, and saw his posture with his center of gravity lowered to the extreme.

He felt that Xu Feng would appear beside him in the next second.

Despite his fear, Turner hurled the ball high toward the basket!

There was no sound as expected, and Xu Feng was unable to seal the cover.

Because it's simply not needed.

The spinning basketball draws a raised arc in the air, with the rim directly below the raised arc!

Not only did the ball miss, it was also an airball!

It's a pity that there wasn't a show like "The Biggest Mistakes" back then, otherwise Turner would have been the undisputed number one.

This three-miss shot was extremely effective, successfully extinguishing the arrogance of the Kentucky fans.

He was met with Pitino's cold gaze.

Kentucky played poorly; they couldn't pull away from the score. It wasn't that their tactics were bad, but the players were just too tired to execute them perfectly.

This feeling is like the helplessness of a middle-aged man, wanting to do something but unable to.

Pitino stood on the sidelines, arms crossed, face ashen, silent. This deathly silence was more terrifying than any roar; this was when he was at his angrier.

Kentucky hasn't won a championship in eighteen years. Are they not ready yet this year?

Both sides have only one timeout left.

Xu Feng's face was flushed, and he was sweating profusely; he was also quite tired.

Without the system's special features, he is not a superman after all, and the stamina he saved in the first half is about to be exhausted.

Xu Feng, panting heavily, pushed past Walker for the umpteenth time and scored with a powerful layup.

"Thirty-eight points! Xu Feng has gone mad! He's completely transformed into a court monster!"

"Unbelievable! We actually questioned Xu Feng's ability in the first half. What nonsense!" The voices of both commentators trembled slightly.

Walker and Delk scored 10 and 14 points respectively in the second half, making them stand out in the third crazy game.

But it was still overshadowed by Xu Feng's brilliance.

Compared to Kentucky's all-out attack, Xu Feng's story of a lone hero resonated with a wider audience.

Kentucky became the villains, besieging DePaul's righteous knight. The proud knight refused to yield, so the villains' henchmen verbally insulted and attacked him.

The game attracted 34.8 million online viewers, second only to the undefeated matchup between Bird and Magic Johnson in the 1979 Madness 3 Finals.

The number of viewers is still rising, and it's only a matter of time before it surpasses the record for the highest viewership in history.

David Stern sat in the VIP box, having already made up his mind: this young man seemed perfectly capable of taking over the NBA after Jordan's retirement.

It could even go further, because Xu Feng could send a signal to the world.

The NBA can accept players from other parts of the world.

This will be a milestone for the NBA's expansion into the global market!

David Stern smiled with satisfaction as he envisioned a grand future business empire.

The two sides continued to exchange attacks until fifty seconds remained in the game.

Kentucky organized an attack, and Walker dribbled the ball up the court, preparing to pass it to Anderson.

The ball was intercepted by Xu Feng midway through the game and flew out of bounds, but it was still in the backcourt.

With only 32 seconds left and De Paul trailing by one point, Pitino called his final timeout.

After the timeout, Kentucky inbounded the ball from the sideline, marking the Wildcats' final offensive possession of the game.

De Paul pressed him closely throughout the game, while Xu Feng led the defense against Turner.

Turner wasn't in a hurry. He turned to the side, using his hips to block Xu Feng, and continued dribbling despite Xu Feng's interference, wasting every second.

Walker began moving up from the bottom corner to the top of the arc, his most familiar position, providing a solid screen for Turner.

Turner broke through using a screen, but Xu Feng strode around the screen!

Delker starts from the left wing and cuts at full speed towards the basket!

His experience was both seasoned and deadly; that half-step outwards pulled Tomé half a body length away.

Turner saw it and pushed the ball toward Delk!

This should have been the pinnacle of Kentucky team basketball, but unfortunately, those yellow hands appeared on what should have been an unobstructed path for the ball.

Xu Feng flew out sideways, as if he had transformed into a football goalkeeper, using his fingertips to deflect the ball towards the sideline.

Anderson managed to save the ball before it went out of bounds, but he had no time to adjust.

There are only two seconds left on the attack!

He made a hasty shot; the ball's trajectory was high, but it was clearly too short.

Bang!

The ball bounced high off the front edge of the rim.

DePaul and the other four players rushed into the paint at the same time. With the small-ball lineup, Kentucky did not have an absolute height advantage, and Brian grabbed the rebound!

Ten seconds remain.

The moment the backboard hit the ground, Joey rushed onto the court, frantically gesturing with both hands.

"Pause! Pause!"

When Xu Feng returned to the court, De Paul had only eight seconds left on the shot clock.

They also need to serve from the backcourt.

So, Pitino's tactics worked... halfway!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The restless Kentucky fans were still chanting, but a suspicion was also forming in their minds.

I mean... if Xu Feng...

They dared not think any further.

The game continued, and Singh stood on the baseline. The moment the whistle blew, he passed the ball to Watts, who was also in the backcourt.

Watts didn't dribble; he didn't even think about it. He just thought of a move from American football.

Happiness Mary (The Long Story of Salvation)!

Watts didn't look at anyone; he just swung the ball toward the basket on the other side.

He could only hope that Xu Feng would catch the ball before it went out of bounds.

Before the ball was even inbounded, Xu Feng had already silently grazed the three-point line. The moment the whistle blew, he bypassed Brian's back screen and charged towards Kentucky's basket with all his might!

"This might not feel like basketball, because I'm talking about the final shot in rugby."

"Xu Feng, I know you're tired, but for the next eight seconds, I hope you can forget all your fatigue."

Delk was blocked by Brian's broad body.

Anderson and Mercer were left far behind by Xu Feng.

Only Antoine Walker remained, who stood on the other side of the three-point line from the beginning and started charging at the same time as Xu Feng.

Xu Feng rushed into the penalty area and jumped.

Walker lunged forward from behind Xu Feng!

Xu Feng fully extended his body in the air, his eyes level with the basketball hoop.

The long pass flew to the top of the basket, and Xu Feng caught the ball in mid-air with his right hand.

Xu Feng's target was the ball, while Walker's target was Xu Feng's hand. He quickly pulled on Xu Feng's left hand.

He had no time to care about whether it was a foul or not, and besides, he didn't want to cripple Xu Feng; he just wanted to make Xu Feng lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Unfortunately, the outcome was already decided.

Xu Feng remained as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest tremor.

The moment Xu Feng shoved the ball into the basket with one hand, the horn on the timer sounded and the numbers were reset to zero.

The game ended with DePaul defeating the University of Kentucky 81-80.

许峰全场36投20中，砍下46分19篮板14助攻4盖帽5抢断。得分恰好为疯三历史并列第十，比肩1978年的大卫·考津。

He also delivered one of the most insane game-winning shots in the history of the Madness 3.
