Chapter 42 The Night of Victory, NCAA Championship!!
A 9-point difference, with 2 minutes remaining.
This means that if UCLA doesn't make any mistakes, the University of Kansas will lose the game.
"pause!!"
Coach Self called another halt to the match.
Zeng Zhen's ability is undeniable; he's definitely a top-tier star.
At this rate, UCLA will win the championship.
Zeng Zhen is about to receive the MOP.
The neutral fans at the Alamo Arena were talking amongst themselves, but the Kansas fans suddenly fell silent.
After the timeout, Kansas University's offense resumes.
After a series of passes, Chalmers finally stepped up to respond to Zeng Zhen. At the top of the key, Chalmers got an open look after a screen from Hauser and decisively launched a three-pointer!
"Whoosh!!"
The basketball went into the net.
Westbrook was blocked by Hauser's screen and couldn't follow.
Chalmers continues to display his killer instincts.
80:74.
"I'll guard him," Zeng Zhen instructed Westbrook.
"Okay." Westbrook was panting heavily. He hadn't defended Chalmers well today, and Zeng Zhen's defense was better.
UCLA's attack.
Westbrook dribbled the ball across half-court and passed it to Love at the free-throw line.
Love took a step to the side and handed the ball to Zeng Zhen, then blocked Rush who was chasing.
Hauser switched to defend Zeng Zhen.
Zeng Zhen took the ball and made a shooting fake, causing Hauser to shift his center of gravity upward.
Zeng Zhen passed the ball to the right and accelerated past Hauser.
Zeng Zhen strode forward quickly, driving into the paint and using a double crossover to get past Jackson.
"Don't even think about it!!" Chalmers rushed in from beyond the three-point line to help defend.
Chamos was too short for Zeng Zhen. Zeng Zhen pushed off the ground with all his might, lifted the ball high, and took a step.
"Bang!"
Zeng Zhen made contact with Chamos, then swept the ball over Chamos's head.
Chalmers was powerless to do anything about it.
Zeng Zhenteng twisted his waist and flew to the basket for a layup.
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
The basketball bounced smoothly into the basket after hitting the backboard.
82:74.
Many fans and commentators felt that Zeng Zhen should have slowed down the clock, but Zeng Zhen did not do so and instead maintained his own offensive rhythm.
Fight whenever you get the chance!!
"It's there! It's there again!!"
"Well done!!"
"ever!!!"
"Key plays, composed offense."
The DJ at the Alamo Stadium was shouting Zeng Zhen's name while revealing some private details.
UCLA fans cheered again, screaming wildly.
"Zeng Zhen!"
"Zeng Zhen!"
"Zeng Zhen!!"
"A Dwyane Wade-esque breakthrough, that was an incredibly difficult play."
"Incredible, he blew up Kansas's defenses."
"He once possessed the charisma of a superstar!!!"
"In terms of that kind of breakthrough ability alone, I dare say it would be top-tier even in the NBA."
ESPN commentator Mike Breen was already somewhat incoherent.
He often watches NCAA college games and rarely encounters players who make him feel that they would be able to play comfortably even in the NBA.
If he were the general manager, he would not hesitate to select Zeng Zhen with the top pick.
Zeng Zhen's strength is clearly superior to the others!
Who said he had poor ball-handling skills?
[His consecutive dribbling past opponents was truly impressive.]
This guy is definitely a lottery winner!
[A strong heart, handling everything with ease and grace.]
We couldn't stop them, we really couldn't stop them.
Kansas is like the Pistons, an ordinary team that will eventually be overtaken by basketball legend Michael Jordan.
Zeng Zhen did not celebrate on the court, but continued to focus on defense.
Zeng Zhen is very confident in his offense. Others think Kansas' defense is hard to break, but in his eyes they are all weaknesses.
There is one minute left in the game.
Zeng Zhen's continuous attacks seemed to give the whole team a shot of adrenaline, and UCLA continued their relentless pressing.
Starting with Chalmers, a sense of panic swept through the entire University of Kansas.
This panic was reflected in the ball; Chalmers and Hauser tried to initiate a pick-and-roll, but Hauser's lateral movement didn't leave Zeng Zhen enough space.
Zeng Zhen tried to bypass the cover, but was knocked down!
"Bang!!"
"Beep beep!!"
The referee called a screen foul on Hauser!
"OMG!!"
"Kansas is finished."
The Kansas fans in the stadium felt a sense of despair.
But what made them even more desperate was...
UCLA's offensive continues.
Zeng Zhen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, initiating a one-on-one attack!
Everyone, move aside!!
At this moment, the fans in the Alamo Stadium all stood up, and the noise became somewhat quiet.
Everyone was watching Zeng Zhen.
Facing Rush's defense, Zeng Zhen made a series of changes of direction.
Left side!
Right side!
With his body almost parallel to the ground, Rush's center of gravity was drawn to Zeng Zhen.
Zeng Zhen dribbled the ball between his legs and stepped back!
He took another three-pointer.
Rush was very familiar with this move and footwork.
But he couldn't stop him, and Rush could only raise his hand in despair.
"Whoosh!!"
.....
.....
"OMG, Zeng Zhen is just recklessly going one-on-one against Brandon Rush's defense!"
"UCLA is getting closer and closer to the championship."
"God, what did I just see?!"
The spectators on the sidelines had gone completely wild.
Coach Bill Self walked back to the bench in despair.
...As expected, the game was eventually won through a series of penalty kicks.
The final score was 87-77.
UCLA won the national championship, and Zeng Zhen ran straight to the scorer's table.
Jump up.
Waving towards the UCLA fan section: "We are the champions!!!!"
42分11助攻5篮板4抢断2封盖！
This was a match in which Zeng Zhen gave it his all.
MOP, the championship, the media's flashing lights, the fans' screams and shouts!
He wants all of these things!!
He's going to enter the NBA in top form!!
"In the semifinals and finals, Zeng Zhen scored a total of 93 points, averaging 46.5 points per game!!"
"Zeng Zhen is also the top scorer during March Madness!!"
"There's no suspense about this MOP."
This game is destined to put Zeng Zhen on the list of players that all NBA general managers must consider.
Zeng Zhenye has once again become famous throughout the United States.
There are so many celebrities following tonight's game.
The cheers at the Alamo Stadium erupted into a frenzy.
Many players on both teams were crying.
On one side, people are cheering with joy; on the other side, they are crying with despair!
Regardless of the final outcome, many players will be leaving both teams.
Some people advance to higher stages, some give up professional basketball, and some turn overseas!
All of this will be magnified!!
Meanwhile, Schwartz received several text messages on his phone from general managers, all inviting Zeng Zhen to a trial!
With the NCAA Championship game over, the process for the NBA Draft is officially about to begin!
"Let's congratulate UCLA on winning their twelfth championship in team history!"
"This night belongs to everyone on the UCLA Bruins!!"
The moment Zeng Zhen lifted the national championship trophy alongside Westbrook, Love, Collison, and others.
Zeng Zhen was deeply moved!
Two months ago, he was a fringe player on the team, but now he has led the team to the championship as the team's core player!
