A compilation of six of the NBA's greatest point guards!

Chapter 15: The Sweet Battle of the Top 16 Begins, Zeng Zhen: I'm Fighting for Survival!

Seeing Zeng Zhen attracting so much attention from girls, Collison couldn't help but say jealously, "Hey, show-off, anyone can shoot a three-pointer like that. If you're so good, go shoot a half-court three-pointer."

Upon hearing Collison's words, Zeng Zhen did not respond, but instead walked to the LOGO line.

He gets the ball, pushes it in, a beautiful arc, and scores!

The cheerleaders next to him reacted even more enthusiastically; if there hadn't been so many people, Zeng Zhen would have been completely drained!

This logo manipulation really impressed Collison.

"Darren, are you satisfied now?"

"Zeng, do you know why I hate you?" Collison was even more annoyed: "It's one thing for you to show off, but you're actually that awesome."

Zeng Zhen's arrogant attitude annoyed Collison, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Ignore that guy. Why are you throwing further and further away? You're stepping on the logo." Westbrook asked in surprise as he came over.

"I just wanted to see if I could make a move here in the future," Zeng Zhen said.

"It's best not to shoot here. I hate those kinds of unreasonable shots," Westbrook shrugged.

Zeng Zhen glanced at Westbrook but didn't offer any explanation.

You may have disliked Curry in your past life, but you were also hit by Curry's game-winning shot from a long distance in the playoffs, so I understand that it's not surprising to have this mentality even if you haven't experienced it yet.

Westbrook does dislike guards taking unreasonable three-point shots, which is related to his poor shooting skills. If he had a good three-point shot, he would respect Curry more.

"In short, you need to trust my shooting tonight. I'll find a way to put the ball in the basket," Zeng Zhen said.

"OK, same as the last game." Westbrook nodded rationally.

Immediately after speaking, Ben Holland gathered the players back in the locker room to make final strategic plans.

California is a city that loves basketball, and after reaching the Sweet 16, the fans here became even more enthusiastic about the game. The arena was packed with fans both inside and outside, with more than 3 people coming to the scene.

Because of its geographical advantage, UCLA is more like playing at home here, with about 70% of the fans wearing their jerseys and the other 30% supporting their opponents.

Time keeps passing, and processes are being carried out one by one.

Soon, the starting players from both sides went onto the field, and Zeng Zhen found the best viewing spot on the bench and sat down.

Among the group of guys from Kansas State University across the street, Zeng Zhen spotted two familiar faces: Mike Beasley and Bill Walker.

Besides these two, there are actually quite a few players on the Kansas State University roster who are still playing in overseas leagues even after leaving college, but Zeng Zhen was unaware of this.

Zeng Zhen knew that Beasley and Bill Henry were both very strong in college, and their talent and ability were among the best of college players.

The presence of these two players served as a reminder to Zeng Zhen that tonight's match would not be easy.

In fact, many games after entering March Madness will not be easy, mainly because the teams here will fight to the maximum extent, and they will have many ways to avoid the gap caused by talent.

UCLA boasts some of the most talented individuals, but that doesn't mean they can easily dominate their opponents; they will need to fight hard in every match.

"Hey, the game is about to start. The camera is on that Chinese guy on the sidelines. I don't think Ben Holland could have imagined in the last game that this guy would be his savior," said ESPN commentator McBreen.

Now that they've entered the Sweet 16, ESPN will send a renowned commentary team to broadcast every game from now on.

"Seven three-pointers, this freshman has made quite a few scouts' watchlists," Mark Jackson chuckled.

"If he can maintain this form throughout March Madness, I believe many teams would be willing to gamble with their second-round picks."

"Haha, look at this guy's stats, his three-point shooting isn't consistent either."

While the two commentators were chatting, the match quickly began.

As predicted before the game, Kansas State University focused on Beasley from the start.

Beasley is very strong. He has all-around skills. He can easily defeat shorter opponents and can drive past taller ones. Beasley has demonstrated the strength that enabled him to defeat Durant in a one-on-one situation.

Playing in the NCAA might only be slightly more difficult for him than playing in the CBA.

Bill Walker also attacked the paint multiple times, causing damage. He has great talent and can jump high.

UCLA's outside shooting was slightly better, with Collison finally making a three-pointer, but the others were still struggling.

Love is still very inexperienced; his three-pointers aren't a reliable weapon yet, while Westbrook can be completely ignored...

Ten minutes later, the score was tied at 14-14.

With a wave of his hand, Ben Holland announced, "Number 10, Zeng Zhen, is on the field!"

This time, as soon as Zeng Zhenyi appeared, the camera immediately focused on him, and the female fans in the audience screamed instantly.

Zeng Zhen was rubbing his hands together on the sidelines, preparing for the game. Perhaps this kind of game wouldn't affect Bisley, Love, or Westbrook's draft position much, but for him, if he didn't play well, he might lose all the good impression he had built up in the previous game, and he definitely wouldn't be in the second round.

Therefore, he still needs to go all out in this match!!

Zeng Zhen came onto the field and scanned the opponent's lineup.

Personnel from Kansas State University:

Point Guard: Blake Young

Shooting Guard: Stewart.

Small forward: Bill Henry.

Power Forward: Michael Beasley.

Center: Luis Cologne

The backcourt players, Blake Young and Stewart, are 1.88 meters and 1.95 meters tall respectively. They are not particularly short, and their defensive abilities are above average with no obvious weaknesses. However, Zeng Zhen is very confident.

He didn't know these two people in his previous life, which means that neither of them had ever played in the NBA, implying that his own abilities were superior to theirs.

UCLA's offensive possession.

Westbrook dribbles to the top of the key to organize the offense.

Although UCLA has many superstar prospects, none of them hold onto the ball; they are all executing the tactics.

The one defending Zeng Zhen was Stewart, not the hero who tried to attack and beat up Dogt, they just happened to have the same name.

This Stewart is a senior who averages 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. He is a typical defensive role player. Kansas State University has him to tear apart Zeng Zhen, who had a hot hand in the last game.

"Rookie, from now on, I'm going to give you a defensive lesson."

Ok?

These old-school players, whether they're famous or not, somehow all have that damn old-school Harden vibe.

Zeng Zhen approached him and shoved him with his shoulder: "Hey, Old Deng, if you lose tonight's game, your basketball career is over. No professional team will want you."

"Rookie, you're no different. Don't think you can get into the NBA just by relying on a few lucky three-pointers," Stewart retorted.

"I can get a contract worth more than 200 million US dollars if I go back to the CBA."

I love my country. If all else fails, I'll just go back to the NBA and rake in the money.

Having just finished showing off, before Stewart could counterattack, Zeng Zhen suddenly started running towards Love, who was positioned at a 45-degree angle to the right of the three-point line.

Love set an off-ball screen for Zeng Zhen.

Whether in the NCAA or the NBA, Beasley's attitude towards defense has been relatively lazy, which led to the moment when Stewart was delayed by Love.

Zeng Zhen was then relaxed, and Westbrook's pass arrived promptly.

Westbrook has a natural instinct when it comes to racking up assists.

Small empty space.

Zeng Zhen received the basketball while running, tensed his legs, sprang up, and jumped to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball traced a beautiful arc.

Piercing through the net.

"Whoosh!"

17:14.

Zeng Zhenyang hit his first three-pointer of the night.
