NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Jackson's departure from the court prompted cheers from the entire Davidson Wildcats crowd.

But seeing Zhou Yi and Curry already drenched in sweat on the court, Wildcats fans started to feel a little uneasy.

The Wildcats' twin stars have been fighting since the start of the game, especially Zhou Yi.

As one of the offensive spearheads for the Davidson Wildcats, he also needed to do his best to help defend the weak side and fight for rebounds in this game.

With 15 minutes remaining in the game, Zhou Yi had already scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals.

After seeing Jackson leave the court, McGillop, who was on the bench, also chose to substitute Curry to rest.

To be fair, Curry's three-point shooting ability makes his scoring explosiveness far exceed that of Zhou Yi.

Substituting Curry off the court to rest and recover his energy would allow us to capitalize on his rest and launch a three-point barrage to seal the victory.

All of this is predicated on the assumption that Zhou Yi, who remains on the field, can single-handedly lead the team to withstand the Bulldogs' offensive.

McGillop watched the red number eight figure on the field, who was still running and sweating profusely.

"You've got to hold on, Zhou! You're amazing!"

The game continued, and the coach's son, McGeelop, came on as a substitute for Curry.

Zhou Yi used a screen from power forward Rossiter to circle to the left elbow area.

The coach's son made a very steady pass, delivering it to Zhou Yi.

However, facing the close defense of the Bulldogs' substitute small forward, Zhou Yi could feel his rapid breathing disrupting his rhythm.

My back was completely soaked with sweat, and my legs felt sore and tired.

But listening to the Davidson Wildcats' desperate cheers from the sidelines, Zhou Yi knew he couldn't give up at this moment.

He needs to solidify his lead before Curry returns from his rest.

Jump up and shoot.

The basketball flew past the fingertips of the Bulldogs' substitute small forward and hit the rim.

Bang—bang—bang

The basketball bounced on the rim three times before falling into the net.

"Zhou! An unparalleled player! The wonder boy is still fighting on the field!"

After the ball went in, the Wildcats' score reached 60 points, leading the Bulldogs by 4 points.

The Bulldogs attacked, seemingly noticing that Zhou Yi's stamina was beginning to decline.

The Bulldogs' backup point guard passed the ball to Zhou Yi's matchup, the Bulldogs' backup small forward Williams.

After receiving the ball, Williams immediately chose to force his way past Zhou Yi into the paint.

Zhou Yi's aching legs felt a little sluggish at this moment, but he still gritted his teeth and followed behind Williams.

Williams tossed the basketball toward the basket, but the ball had barely left his hands.

A pair of long, large hands blocked the shot from the side, the fingertips of which brushed against the side of the basketball.

"Zhou! His fourth block of the game. With starting center Lovedale sidelined due to injury, Zhou carried the Wildcats' defense."

In the commentary booth, the passionate commentary from the CBS commentary duo was broadcast across the United States via the screen.

Meanwhile, Lovedale, who was recuperating in a hotel, was looking at the I Ching that was being painstakingly covered on the screen.

Tears streamed down his slightly weathered face as he looked at his injured left ankle and made a decision.

On the court, the score continued to rise, but the Wildcats held onto their four-point lead.

Although the Wildcats' stamina had waned, they were still able to overcome the Bulldogs' superior height.

They maintained their relentless defensive intensity, fighting for every rebound and making every shot.

With ten minutes remaining in the game, both teams' fans watched nervously from the sidelines.

The Wildcats and the Bulldogs both brought in Curry and Jackson.

The score was now 68-64, and both sides prepared for the final showdown.

The winner advances for three rounds, while the loser is forced to leave.

Curry went onto the court to replace the coach's son. Although he only rested on the sidelines for five minutes, his stamina had already recovered to some extent.

He looked at Zhou Yi and saw his friend breathing rapidly, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans sliding down his cheeks.

"You should rest, Zhou, you're too tired."

"No, I will stand with you and personally end the bulldog era."

Zhou Yi declined Curry's well-intentioned offer and chose to remain on the court.

If one loses despite giving it one's all, Zhou Yi might find some solace.

However, he will not relinquish control of the game's fate to anyone else without giving it his all.

The Wildcats have possession of the ball, and Curry dribbles it up the court.

Facing the defense of Bulldogs point guard Tommy Toomey, Curry used Zhou Yi's screen to create a sliver of space for a shot, and the basketball flew toward the basket.

Swish—three-pointer made.

Curry, having regained his strength, began to transform into the most lethal finisher on the court, instantly widening the score gap to seven points.

For the Bulldogs, Jackson received the ball and chose to continue bullying Nelmes in the paint.

The substitute center, who replaced Lovedale, was gritting his teeth and doing his best to defend.

Jackson's large buttocks gave him an advantage in post-up moves, allowing him to easily reach the basket.

After elbowing Nelmus, Jackson opted to dunk from under the basket.

But just as he jumped, Jackson felt the basketball in his hands being swatted away from behind.

"Zhou! A keen eye for blocking shots! His fifth block of the game was on Jackson!"

The Wildcats on the sidelines cheered enthusiastically when they saw the block.

"Zhou! MVP! MVP!"

The cheers for MVP echoed throughout the arena, and all the media cameras were focused on Wildcats' number eight player on the court.

"I told you, I'd kick your asses, Jackson."

After completing the block, Zhou Yi looked at the humiliated and indignant Jackson and said confidently, his dark brown eyes filled with anger and a fanatical desire for victory.

Jackson didn't even dare to look into those eyes. He was starting to feel scared. Maybe he shouldn't have chosen to provoke this yellow-skinned kid in the first place.

After Zhou Yi's final block, the game seemed to have been decided.

The Bulldogs players on the court seemed to be struck by a giant's hammer. Faced with the pressure of being seven points behind, they chose to retreat in fear.

The score remained unchanged at 79-69 until the referee blew the final whistle.

"The Wildcats won! Before the match, no one had high hopes for them, but with the help of the Wonder Boy, they fought back and defeated the Bulldogs to advance to the third round of Madness."

The Wildcats fans in the stadium were already going wild, chanting Zhou Yi's name and celebrating wildly.

Zhou Yi did not choose to return to the bench. With his stamina bar empty, he sat down on the ground, listening to the chants of "MVP" from the entire stadium.

He looked at the bright red scoreboard on the screen above the stadium.

We won, that's great.

"The Wildcats, widely considered underdogs by the media before the game, defeated the Bulldogs despite losing their starting center, Lovedale, and fought their way into the second round. Wildcats' starting small forward, Zhou Yi, played the entire game, racking up an MVP-caliber performance of 25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 2 steals." —ESPN

"Report: A reporter captured photos of Bulldogs player Jackson shedding tears in the players' tunnel after the game. This star player, who mocked the Wildcats before the game, became the biggest joke in American basketball afterward." — South Carolina Evening News
