"This is definitely a game that will go down in NCAA history!"
When the game ended, the two commentators on the sidelines couldn't help but stand up and applaud Jinwoo: "Jinwoo, the freshman from Korea, has etched his name into history with an astonishing performance!"
"This is the March Madness everyone's been waiting for! This is where miracles happen!"
"Today, Jinwoo from Seoul created his own miracle!"
The wonderful thing about March Madness is that any team has the potential to be the ultimate winner!
Whether you are a traditional powerhouse or a complete unknown.
In a single-game elimination format, any team and any person can create a miracle.
During this month, thrilling stories of underdogs and buzzer-beating shots are staged every year.
Star players from each team will do their absolute best to improve their NBA draft stock.
Those so-called wildcard teams will also grit their teeth and strive for victory with the desire to live up to their youthful dreams!
More importantly, there is no corporate involvement or manipulation; there is only the pure love of college students for sports and the raw passion for campus basketball!
Perhaps the enduring popularity of the NCAA March Madness stems from this fact:
There is a basketball dream in every boy's heart that has not yet been extinguished!
Today, the wonderful drama was staged once again.
"Arizona State University, with the consensus top prospect Deandre Ayton, was eliminated by the Kentucky Wildcats!"
The two commentators on the sidelines were still struggling to contain their excitement: "Jinwoo of the Kentucky Wildcats delivered an utterly astonishing performance in his NCAA debut!"
"Yes, he is the best pure shooting guard I have seen this season!"
Another commentator added: "He scored almost all of the team's points during those crucial final minutes!"
Even the one guarding the basket was Ayton, who is highly touted as the successor to Shaquille O'Neal.
But Ayton could not stop Jinwoo's onslaught and was even relegated to a background figure twice.
Arizona State University, playing away from home, was decisively defeated by Jinwoo's late-game offense!
Even after the game was over, the Arizona State University fans on the sidelines looked completely bewildered.
Just a dozen minutes ago, they were cheering because the Kentucky Wildcats had substituted in a player like Jinwoo.
But now, it was the Kentucky Wildcats standing in the middle of the court, celebrating their miraculous win!
"Jinwoo... you actually led us to a comeback?"
Jarred Vanderbilt (Vanderbilt) excitedly approached Jinwoo and exclaimed: "You actually single-handedly led us to the Elite Eight quarterfinals???"
In this game, Vanderbilt had been thoroughly frustrated by Deandre Ayton for most of the time.
But with Jinwoo's appearance, everything changed.
After being dunked on twice in a row by Jinwoo, Ayton became listless and couldn't even convert an open layup when nobody was defending him.
"Coach... is Jinwoo truly our ultimate secret weapon?"
Looking at the players celebrating excitedly, Kentucky Wildcats Assistant Coach Tom asked Head Coach Calipari: "Jinwoo led us to a comeback. He almost single-handedly brought us to the Elite Eight!"
"Hmm... his performance certainly exceeded my expectations for him!"
Although Coach Calipari wanted to nod, his rational side made him pause: "I knew Jinwoo might become a key reserve, but I never expected him to be this dominant!"
For the Kentucky Wildcats, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Vanderbilt were the offensive and defensive cores of the team.
Now, the team has gained a third, explosive core member!
After the game, Deandre Ayton flatly refused all media interviews.
Although this one game will not negate his overall talent and efforts throughout the season, it was deeply humiliating to lead the team to a tragic reversal and be dunked over twice by Jinwoo.
On the Kentucky Wildcats side, Head Coach Calipari also instructed the players to decline all media interviews.
"Only if you win the final championship can you accept interviews from the media!"
Even though they had secured a ticket to the Elite Eight quarterfinals, in the home team's locker room, Coach Calipari lectured his players: "God is fair. He never gives us two chances!"
"You must remember that our journey has just begun! The challenges that await us will be far more brutal than today's!"
Just as Coach Calipari said.
Although the Kentucky Wildcats defeated Arizona State University on their home court today, they only won by four points, and that victory was only achieved thanks to Jinwoo's divine intervention.
In the eyes of expert media and other schools, their win was likely viewed as sheer, God-given luck, rather than a display of consistent strength!
"You said Arizona State was eliminated??"
Shortly after the Kentucky Wildcats' Sweet Sixteen game against Arizona State University concluded, Trae Young, who was listening to music in the locker room, looked up in surprise: "Did Deandre Ayton just play poorly?"
Apart from Ayton's poor performance, Young couldn't fathom any other reason why Arizona State University would be eliminated.
"No, Trae... The news said that a freshman from Korea took over the game in the final moments and secured the win."
Young's teammate quickly scrolled through his phone and read aloud, "His name is Jinwoo..."
"Jinwoo??"
Trae Young laughed dismissively: "Then there's nothing to worry about. It's impossible for that Korean guy to perform like that every single game!"
"Especially when they meet us!"
Today, in addition to the Kentucky Wildcats eliminating Arizona State, which featured the top prospect Deandre Ayton, in another game, the season's self-proclaimed dark horse, Oklahoma (Trae Young's actual school), also defeated an opponent under the explosive leadership of Trae Young and advanced to the Elite Eight quarterfinals.
And their opponent in the Elite Eight is none other than the Kentucky Wildcats!
The Sweet Sixteen knockout rounds have all ended, and the Elite Eight matchups have been announced. On major American social platforms, discussions about the NCAA are in full swing.
The game in which Jinwoo led the Kentucky Wildcats to a miraculous comeback victory over Arizona State University instantly became the focus of heated discussion among media and fans that day.
"The Kentucky Wildcats crushed Deandre Ayton's championship dream with their own hands, but they will face another super talent in their next game—Trae Young!"
"Although they are likely to be scorched by Trae Young's three-point barrage, we still need to pay attention to that young man from Seoul!"
"His performance in the final moments of the game reminded me of the omnipotent Kobe Bryant in his prime!"
"Jinwoo's performance is a replica of Kobe Bryant at his peak!"
