Chapter 40: A Frenzied Play, the Alamo Stadium's Battle Axe!
The University of Kansas fans immediately tensed up.
Hauser, who was nearby, quickly sped up and rushed over, trying to block Zeng Zhen with his body.
Hauser's physical abilities are among the best in college, and he wasn't too nervous facing Zeng Zhen's rapid attacks.
"Bang!!"
In the instant the two made contact, Hauser felt a tremendous force.
What?!
Zeng Zhen's performance exceeded Hauser's expectations.
Zeng Zhen doesn't look like one of those weak Asians at all.
Hauser was knocked away.
With his extreme speed boost, Zeng Zhen instantly rushed to the Kansas University three-point line.
Chalmers and Jackson rushed to join the attack, but Zeng Zhen accelerated again and overtook them once more.
This time, there was no one in front of him. Zeng Zhen caught the basketball with one hand and leaped into the air!
His head was higher than the basket, looking down.
"box!!"
He completed a tomahawk dunk!
54 is better than 48
Previously, he would always create space to attack, so Zeng Zhen rarely used this method to bully people.
It's not that Zeng Zhen's body was stronger than Hauser's, but rather that he brought a powerful impact that Hauser was unprepared for.
"pretty!!"
"Well done!!"
"Well done!!"
"Zeng Zhen!!"
"Zeng Zhen completed a fast break on the court!"
Ben Holland, standing on the sidelines, roared like a lion that had been dormant for a long time, swinging his fists with a domineering air.
Meanwhile, Bill Self on the other side watched this scene with wide eyes.
He stared in disbelief at Zeng Zhen, who was struggling to defend on the court.
This Asian is being ridiculous!
What kind of competition and extreme speed is this?
Why are guys like Rush and Hauser still suppressed in front of him?
This series of dribbling moves looks simple, but the ball-handling fundamentals and the timing of the breakthroughs are top-notch.
Zeng Zhen discovered the weakness in Kansas's retreat almost instantly and carried out a precise strike.
This dragon is awesome!
[See that? Zeng Zhenduo is so sharp.]
[That play was absolutely brilliant; Zeng Zhen's individual ability was far superior.]
[Haha, I saw that a talent show website has Zeng Zhen ranked 15th in real time!]
Why can't the CBA produce such a phenomenal guard?
On domestic websites, such as Hupu forum, fans are chatting while watching the live stream.
.....
Zeng Zhen on the field did not celebrate, but quickly returned to defense.
The Kansas players started to panic, and Chalmers stepped up to receive the ball and cross the half-court line.
After dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Chalmers continued to pass it to Rush on the right.
The University of Kansas quickly got the ball moving.
A moment later, the ball reached Hauser at the free-throw line, and Love rushed toward Hauser.
Facing Love's closing defense, Hauser didn't choose to dribble past him, but instead passed the ball to Chamos on the right.
Chalmers dribbled the ball up, and Westbrook moved sideways to meet it.
Although Westbrook reacted quickly, Chalmers managed to get past him by taking the lead.
In an instant, Chalmers drove to the basket with the ball. Love and Mbah a Moute tried to help defend, but both were delayed by Hauser and Jackson.
Fortunately, Zeng Zhen is back.
Chamos wasn't stupid; he knew that if he tried to attack head-on, Zeng Zhen would definitely block his shot.
Chalmers chose to pass the ball to Rush on the outside.
Rush takes a three-pointer!!
Chalmers had the best chance in this round, but he didn't dare to take it, and when the ball was passed to Rush, the rhythm was off.
Rush's three-pointer missed!!
"Zeng Zhen's defense was very active; he decisively abandoned Brandon and returned to the paint to help defend!"
"The defensive decision was excellent; Rush's shooting rhythm got a bit off."
Kevin got the rebound.
The pace of the game remained fast, with the two teams locked in a back-and-forth battle for 6 to 8 points.
During this period, Zeng Zhen realized why the University of Kansas had such resilience: every player there played with great effort, and no one acted like a superstar.
They encouraged and supported each other on the court, and every shot was made strategically; they wouldn't shoot unless it was an absolute opportunity.
This is different from UCLA.
Although the UCLA players seem very harmonious, almost every one of them has a very distinct personality.
Westbrook occasionally chooses to drive to the basket and force his way through, resulting in turnovers; Love occasionally takes dribble shots; and even Zeng Zhen sometimes takes some unreasonable three-pointers!
In this situation, it would be difficult to wipe out the University of Kansas in one fell swoop.
With 8 minutes and 12 seconds remaining in the second half of the game.
After a series of complex ball-handling plays in the frontcourt, the University of Kansas finally had an open layup opportunity under the basket, which Jackson then scored!
The score is now 65-60, a difference of only 5 points.
The University of Kansas has stronger tactical capabilities than UCLA.
[As expected of an underdog team, they put in far more effort than UCLA to win.]
This season's University of Kansas absolutely deserves the championship.
【Hey, Zeng Zhen's here!】
Compared to the complex tactics of the University of Kansas, UCLA's are much simpler.
Pick and roll is their most frequently used tactic.
In this play, Zeng Zhen and Love initiated a pick-and-roll.
Love slowed down Rush, and Hauser came to help defend immediately. Zeng Zhen dribbled the ball to the right at high speed, and then slapped it to the left.
Hauser got past him with a crossover dribble.
Hauser immediately turned around and chased back. Zeng Zhenhe took a step and leaped into the air.
Jackson also came from the left to help defend from the other side.
Zeng Zhen felt the pressure from Hauser's comeback and Jackson's help defense, so he executed a long looping layup, switching the ball from his right hand to his left.
Glide through the air, stagger the rhythm, and lightly flick the ball with your wrist.
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
The basketball bounced off the backboard and fell into the net.
67:60.
Superstar Ball!
The whole world knows that Zeng Zhen will respond to this attack!
UCLA didn't even need a single pass; Zeng Zhenyun launched an attack as soon as he arrived.
From a tactical standpoint, this was not a legitimate play.
But somehow it went in.
In Zeng Zhen's presence, basketball seemed to return to its purest form.
The fans at the Alamo Stadium were roaring wildly.
The fans at the scene waved towels wildly.
Zeng Zhen's frenzy on the field wasn't over yet. Amid cheers from the fans, Zeng Zhen directly pressed Chamos in the backfield.
Chalmers originally intended to use his body to shield the ball, but the moment he leaned against Zeng Zhen, Zeng Zhen slid to the side and rushed past!
*Smack!*
Zeng Zhen directly intercepted the ball from Chamos.
The ball was very close to the basket, and before the other Kansas players could react, Zeng Zhenyun was already at the basket in one step.
Push off the ground with both feet, bending your waist into a reverse bow shape.
He charged forward and delivered a thunderous dunk!
"box!!!"
The basketball was slammed into the hoop.
69 to 60!!
pause!!
Coach Self called another halt to the match.
"ah!!!!"
Zeng Zhen roared at the camera!!!
【Why!!】
That's insane! Stealing the ball from the guard like that.
Zeng Zhen's wingspan played a significant role.
Chalmers is not in the same league as him as a defender!!
That's too brutal!!
