Kentucky University is the number one seed in the Midwest region this year, and Wake Forest University is the number two seed!
If not for He Ximeng's disruption, Kentucky University would have emerged from the Midwest region this year, reached the Final Four, and won the final championship!
Yes, the 1996 NCAA champion was Kentucky University, led by Tony Delk and Antoine Walker!
Tony Delk also became the Most Outstanding Player that year with an average of 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.9 steals, which is the /
Could it be that in this guy's understanding, all Asian point guards are easily defeated?
He Ximeng did not go head-to-head with him. Instead, he made a low-flying, rapid dribble, followed by a 360-degree spin, directly bypassing the aggressive Paul Marshall...
At this time, the players from both sides had not yet settled in. He Ximeng simply accelerated rapidly, dribbling past three opponents, and charged straight into the opponent's paint!
The opposing center quickly shifted sideways, expecting He Ximeng to go for a layup. However, after jumping, He Ximeng made a low-handed pass to Duncan, who was following in the middle and was unguarded...
Duncan caught the ball and took off, opening the curtain on Wake Forest University's NCAA Tournament this year with a powerful two-handed dunk!
The audience in the arena had just sat down and, seeing the exquisite play between He Ximeng and Duncan, involuntarily stood up and cheered...
Dave Odom, on the sidelines, showed a look of relief when he saw He Ximeng so selflessly pass to Duncan.
A month ago, Dave Odom, at great risk and against all odds, recruited He Ximeng to his team. The original intention was to find a point guard who was good at passing and unselfish to assist Duncan...
Due to the tight schedule, heavy workload, and inability to find someone domestically in the United States, He Ximeng, who had just proven his passing and ball-handling skills at the Nike Basketball Summit, became the ideal candidate...
At that time, many leaders in the school administration raised significant doubts about He Ximeng's skin color, physical fitness, and basketball skills.
But a key reason Dave Odom used to persuade everyone was: "All we need is an obedient passing machine, not a star player..."
Now, it seems that He Ximeng's passing and ball-handling ability completely meets Dave Odom's expectations, while He Ximeng's strength in defense and scoring far exceeds his psychological expectations...
Turning around, Paul Marshall, somewhat exasperated, wanted to break through He Ximeng with his personal ability, but He Ximeng actively eased up and stole the ball from behind!
After successfully stealing the ball, He Ximeng instantly accelerated, leaving everyone behind. Under the expectant eyes of the entire crowd, he leaped high and made a... gentle layup...
"Ah oh..." a collective sigh of disappointment rose from the entire stadium...
"Come on! Wake Forest's number four player... Ximeng! If you don't want to dunk, please don't strike a pose like you're going for a tomahawk dunk!"
"My old back was almost sprained by him..."
The commentators on the spot couldn't help but start roasting He Ximeng.
However, despite the teasing, He Ximeng's beautiful steal just now was unanimously praised by both commentators.
Paul Marshall's counterattack failed, and he was stolen by He Ximeng again, his head buzzing. But he didn't give up and turned around to single-handedly take on He Ximeng again.
This time, Paul Marshall was not stolen by He Ximeng, but facing Duncan, the nation's best defensive player, who was shifting sideways from the inside, Paul Marshall instinctively paused in mid-air, pulled his arm back, and tried to escape Duncan's blockade...
As a result, another figure leaped high from Paul Marshall's rear side...
