NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Tom Izzo looked at the black face that resembled Shrek's donkey and beckoned Green to his side.

"Hey kid, you'll be playing Malcolm Morgan later. Remember to show your toughness and shut down that damn Zhou."

Tom Izzo's words echoed in Green's ears, his tone carrying a hint of intrigue.

Green looked at the gloomy-faced head coach in front of him and sensed that there was something more to his words.

But on the stage of the Third Madness Finals, Green felt he should do something to help the team.

With ten minutes into the first half, the score was 26-23, with the Wildcats leading Michigan State University by three points.

Tom Izzo called a timeout and substituted Green for Mal Morgan to guard Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi is still amazing. He took down the black guy named Morgan on the other side. He couldn't defend against Zhou Yi at all. The Michigan State coach had no choice but to switch to this player named Green to match up against him."

On CCTV-5, Professor Wei Ping made no attempt to hide his stance and said with a cheerful smile.

Facing Mal Morgan, Zhou Yi scored 11 points efficiently in ten minutes with both inside and outside shots, while Mal Morgan only managed five points against Zhou Yi's defense.

This former five-star high school player, now the starting small forward for Michigan State, suffered a humiliating defeat on the stage of the Third Madness Finals.

Michigan's timeout and substitutions ended, and Green, wearing number 23, stepped onto the court.

The game continued, and Green stood opposite Zhou Yi.

In Michigan State's daily tactics, Green usually plays the power forward position, but due to his high mobility and strong physique, he sometimes plays the small forward position.

The Wildcats have possession of the ball. Curry is holding the ball and making a two-sign with his hand.

This is the Wildcats' established tactic: two big men set a screen, allowing Zhou Yi to get a mid-range shot opportunity by moving around the court.

If Zhou Yi is closely guarded, Curry will once again find an opportunity to shoot through a pick-and-roll.

Zhou Yi moved with incredible speed, his long legs propelling him across the field.

Green was following closely behind Zhou Yi, but suddenly a thick, solid figure blocked Green's pursuit of Zhou Yi.

"Loverdale sets a pick-and-roll, Zhou receives a pass from Curry, and makes a mid-range jumper!"

As Jim Nantz's voice rang out, Wildcats fans in the arena erupted in cheers in tribute to Zhou Yi.

"Zhou! Zhou! Zhou!"

As soon as Green entered the game, Zhou Yi scored two points without hesitation. After scoring, Zhou Yi quickly returned to the backcourt to defend, seeing Green's ugly expression.

The game continued, with offense and defense alternating back and forth.

Facing the somewhat inexperienced freshman Green, Zhou Yi displayed an extremely strong offensive momentum.

He could either use a pick-and-roll to get a mid-range shot or a cut inside to score, or he could directly challenge Green and shoot over him.

Despite Green's constant fidgeting, he couldn't stop Zhou Yi.

On the defensive end, Zhou Yi also made a strong presence.

As the Wildcats' core perimeter defender, Zhou Yi constantly helped the team with his strong defensive awareness and help defense.

Time ticked by on the court, and as the first half drew to a close, the Wildcats had extended their lead to seven points.

"Zhou Yi is back in form in this game. Even the black guy Green that the opposing coach brought on couldn't stop him."

In front of the television screens of CCTV-5, countless spectators gathered together to watch the game and cheered.

All the fans were hoping that the Wildcats would win this final and that a Chinese player would stand on the stage holding the trophy.

Inside the arena, the cheers from the Wildcats fans grew louder and louder, drowning out the cheers from the Michigan State fans.

On the court, Green gritted his teeth as he stared at Zhou Yi, his bull-like eyes glaring fiercely at him.

That damn wonderkid just swatted my layup away from the court during a defensive play.

Tom Izzo's words echoed in Green's mind.

"Remember to show your toughness and shut down that damn Zhou."

These words echoed in Green's mind like a devil's whisper.

Looking at the Asian man who had attracted everyone's attention, Green glanced down at Zhou Yi's feet and made up his mind.

The game continued, and Michigan State inbounded the ball again. After point guard Lucas made a layup, possession returned to the Wildcats.

Curry missed a three-pointer, and the rebound was grabbed by Lofdale and handed to Zhou Yi, who was standing at a 45-degree angle.

Facing Green, Zhou Yi opted for a mid-range shot.

Neither Mal Morgan nor Green could find a way to stop his mid-range shot in this game.

All the cameras were focused on Zhou Yi, who leaped high into the air, while Green stood in front of him with his arms outstretched.

In addition to his hands, Green also accidentally put one foot on the landing spot of the Zhouyi.

As Zhou Yi threw the basketball, his body landed slightly backward, but his left foot seemed to have stepped on something.

Although Zhou Yi was very careful after facing Green, he was still outmaneuvered by this cunning fool.

Unexpectedly, this guy has a pair of feet that look like letters, which are incredibly powerful weapons when he's committing murder.

A sharp pain shot through Zhou Yi's ankle, and he felt his body tilting backward. He landed directly on Green, and the two of them rolled to the ground, letting out two screams.

"Oh no! Zhou Yi stepped on Green's instep! The two of them fell to the ground in pain. Please don't get hurt!"

Wei Ping's worried tone came from the television, and all the fans who were watching the I Ching in front of their TVs tensed up.

At the scene, media cameras on the sidelines quickly focused on the two individuals.

Zhou Yi was clutching his left ankle, his face contorted in pain, while Green, whom he had pinned down, was groaning on the ground, clutching his knee.

The referee blew his whistle to stop the game, and both teams' team doctors immediately rushed onto the field.

Wildcats fans stood up nervously from the stands, some with tears in their eyes, others covering their mouths in disbelief.

The Wildcats' Wonder Boy got injured in this crucial game.

On the court, Curry quickly ran to Zhou Yi's side.

Looking at Zhou Yi, who was clutching his left ankle and looking pained, the elementary school student felt tears welling up in his eyes.

He covered his head and prayed silently, "God bless Zhou so he can stand up."

But after a brief examination, the Wildcats' team doctor could only shake his head helplessly and say in a somber tone:

"Curry, Zhou must have twisted his left ankle. He won't be able to play in this game."

The team doctor's words struck the Wildcats players like a bolt from the blue, and the news also reached the Wildcats' bench on the sidelines.

Everyone watched with sorrow as Zhou Yi was helped up by the team doctor and limped into the players' tunnel.

On the other side, Green seemed to be more seriously injured. He was hit on the knee by Zhou Yi when he fell, and now he had to be carried out on a stretcher.

Zhou Yi walked towards the deep players' tunnel, his back view appearing so desolate at this moment, bringing tears to the eyes of countless Wildcats fans on the sidelines.

CBS commentator Jim Nantz's voice was also filled with regret, expressing his sympathy for the Wonder Boys and Wildcats' current predicament.

"Without Zhou, the Wildcats will lose half of their offensive firepower and defensive core in the second half..."

Let us pray for this child.
