"This is clearly a malicious push!"
"Poole's mentality has been shattered by Kai Chen…"
"Filthy Michigan, only capable of fouls!"
"This is clearly isn't basketball play."
The Duke University fans in the arena complained, clearly believing Poole's action was out of line.
On the court!
Kai Chen, helped up by his teammates, was not affected by Poole.
He went to the sideline and high-fived Ingram, Jayson Tatum, and Irving.
"Why did you flop, softie?!!!"
Just as Kai Chen was about to take the free throw, Draymond Green, who was not far from Irving, shouted at him.
"Are your eyes blind?"
Seeing Draymond, dressed in a suit and looking quite human, Kai Chen retorted, "Just quiet down and watch like a good boy, quit all of that yapping."
"What the fuck did you say!?"
Hearing this, Draymond Green immediately flared up, pointing at Kai Chen and angrily spewing, "Don't let me meet you in the NBA, or I'll kill you!"
"I'm right here!"
Kai Chen was not intimidated by Green. He pointed back and retorted, "Softie, come over if you dare!"
Seeing the situation about to escalate, referees and players from both sides quickly stepped in to separate them.
"Kyrie, don't hold me back—let me knock his head off."
Draymond on the sideline was still relentless, trying to break free from Irving and Ingram's restraint and rush onto the court.
But—
"As excellent graduates of Michigan State University, we can understand Draymond's feelings at this moment,"
Barkley from TNT's commentary booth said. "But his approach is very foolish."
"This is the NCAA Final Four, not the Golden State Warriors' home court. His actions could very likely bring negative attention to the home team."
"Swish!"
Back to the game, Kai Chen was not bothered by Green, and the free throw went in steadily.
18:8. The difference once again reached double digits.
Michigan State University possession.
Brooks quickly advanced the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and passed it to Duncan Robinson on the left 45-degree three-point line.
Duncan Robinson caught the ball and shot immediately. Grayson Allen had just settled into position, and the basketball had already left the range he could intercept, dropping toward the rim.
"Swish!"
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air before going through the net.
Turning back around—
Kai Chen received a pass from Steve at the horns position. As he continued to drive against Poole's defense, Big Wagner in the paint had already taken position to block him.
At the same time, Jackson on the wing also came over to help, and with Poole relentlessly chasing from behind, Kai Chen was surrounded.
But Kai did not panic. He leapt up, flicked the ball inside, and delivered it to Bagley.
Facing an empty basket, Bagley caught the ball and slammed it down with one hand.
20:11!
"Excellent basketball vision!"
O'Neal in the commentary booth said without hesitation, "Kai Chen has brought us too many surprises these past few days."
"From initially thinking Chen might just be a spot-up shooter, to becoming omnipotent on offense, now he's shown excellent court vision and passing ability."
"Exactly!"
"Kai is the kind of combo guard the league is missing right now!"
Barkley nodded and then asked O'Neal, "Shaq, who do you think Kai Chen's template is?"
"Hmm… I haven't thought about that yet!"
"Don't you think his playing style resembles your old partner, Kobe?"
O'Neal: ...
While the two commentators were discussing Kai Chen's template, Kai Chen struck again on the court!
Michigan State University continued to double-team Kai Chen, but this time he did not choose to pass. He blew past Jackson, who was trying to help, and went for a flying layup.
Jackson's help defense failed. He quickly rotated to the basket and jumped with Kai Chen.
"Bang!"
Their bodies collided fiercely in midair.
Unexpectedly, under Jackson's powerful impact, Kai Chen only slightly lost his balance. He quickly stabilized himself and deftly tipped the basketball into the hoop.
"Swish!"
"Beep!"
As the ball fell through the net, the referee's whistle sounded again.
"Michigan State University No. 13, blocking foul!"
Jackson held his head in his hands, extremely frustrated.
As the best defensive player in the entire U.S., he was completely dominated by Kai Chen alone tonight.
The defensive system he built in the paint was practically nonexistent in front of Kai Chen!
As for Jordan Poole!?
Just Kai Chen's "toy"…
"Swish!"
After Kai Chen made the free throw, the score became 23:11!
On the next possession, Michigan State University committed a passing error. Grayson Allen completed a steal and quickly pushed the fast break.
On the break, Kai Chen quickly moved to the left three-point line, not far from Draymond Green.
"Whoosh!"
Grayson Allen drove hard to the basket. After drawing the defense, he kicked the ball out to Kai Chen, who had been waiting.
Kai Chen caught it, made a slight adjustment, and fired a wide-open three-pointer!!
"Ay bitch, this is for you!"
As soon as he released the shot, Kai Chen had already turned around and pointed at Green, who was sitting not far away.
"Swish!"
After Kai Chen finished his show of dominance, the basketball pierced the net!
"Fuck!!!"
Seeing Kai Chen's provocation, Draymond Green was furious and helpless.
At this moment, if it weren't for the game,
Green would have rushed onto the court without hesitation and had a real confrontation with Kai Chen.
26:11!
Duke University extended the lead to 15 points!!
"Timeout!"
Michigan State University Head Coach Tom called another timeout.
Looking at Kai Chen's back, Coach Tom murmured, "Perhaps, the defensive focus of this game should be on this China player."
"Kendall, look… look quickly!"
In the first row by the sideline, Victoria's Secret supermodel Gigi Hadid tugged at Kendall Jenner beside her and said dreamily, "Kai Chen just walked past us!"
"Oh, I saw him!"
Jenner playfully slapped Hadid's arm and said, "Take your hand off—you're hurting me."
"Kendall, didn't you just break up with Ben Simmons?"
"What do you think of this young man from China?"
Gigi Hadid pointed at Kai Chen not far away and asked in a low voice.
"What is it!?"
Looking at Kai Chen's captivating looks, Jenner's beautiful eyes lit up. "Actually, he's not to bad!"
