seconds, the initiative is with the University of Kentucky.

Calipari’s strategy is laid out for Booker.

Booker is the most threatening ball-handler on the outside.

Zeng Xingyang is responsible for creating space for Booker to respond.

The timeout ends quickly.

Booker receives the inbound pass, dribbling on the right side beyond the three-point line, observing.

Booker is in no rush; he waits until his teammates are in place, then calls for Towns’s screen.

Towns sets the pick, and Booker accelerates to drive on the right side.

The University of Arizona is well aware of Booker’s power, so they quickly switch defense upon encountering the screen.

The switch defender is Kable, who directly closes in on Booker.

Booker doesn’t have a direct shot; he chooses to bounce pass to the rolling Towns.

Towns also encounters a mismatch. If he scores on Hollis Jefferson, the University of Kentucky will gain the upper hand.

But Towns is not in great shape today, as being hit by Kable has taken a lot out of him.

Towns’s layup doesn’t go in, but fortunately, he quickly grabs the offensive rebound with his height and long arms.

The area under the basket is crowded, and Staley Johnson also rushes back to help.

Towns’s offensive path is blocked, and he almost loses his balance.

Just at that moment, Towns sees Zeng Xingyang waving at the far corner.

Towns almost throws the ball along the baseline.

When Zeng Xingyang catches the ball, there’s an open space in front of him.

The entire atmosphere in the venue quiets down.

Zeng Xingyang’s focus is entirely on the ball.

At this moment, it seems there’s only him and the basketball.

The University of Arizona’s head coach widens his eyes; he never thought Zeng Xingyang would get such an open look at the last moment.

Many Arizona University fans can’t bear to watch this play.

Zeng Xingyang is an NCAA top shooter!

Push off.

Jump.

Release.

Shoot.

The fingertips graze the basketball.

The rhythm is incredibly smooth, the basketball incredibly silky.

The basketball traces a beautiful arc in the air.

"Swish!"

It pierces the net.

A deadly shot.

to 58.

No one on site expected the game to unfold this way.

It wasn’t Booker, nor Towns, but Zeng Xingyang who made the key shot.

Zeng Xingyang made a "goodnight" celebration gesture toward the Arizona fans.

Staley Johnson was greatly impacted by the scene, immensely regretting his momentary oversight in going for the rebound, giving Zeng Xingyang an open opportunity.

This three-pointer is perhaps a decisive shot for the University of Arizona, extremely lethal.

The scouts in the stands displayed surprise in their eyes, clearly not expecting Zeng Xingyang to step up.

However, they also know that if given an open shot, Zeng Xingyang can make such shots.

Shooting is his bread and butter.

This shot is crucial enough for Zeng Xingyang to move up one or two slots on the draft board just from this three-pointer.

After the celebratory gesture, Zeng Xingyang couldn’t help but clench his fist in celebration.

With this three-pointer, Zeng Xingyang is very certain that an NBA team will select him, unless they’re blind.

Arizona’s offense comes again.

This time, after organizing and passing, McConnell finally passes the ball to Staley Johnson.

McConnell quickly signals for space, with Zeng Xingyang defending Staley Johnson one-on-one.

The players from the University of Kentucky each follow their defensive assignments, fully trusting each other’s defense.

Zeng Xingyang persistently clings to Staley Johnson.

Staley Johnson is extremely frustrated by Zeng Xingyang’s defense, lacking the absolute speed to shake him off.

Staley Johnson knows he can’t pass the ball now and can only force the attack.

Staley Johnson backs down to the left, takes a step forward with his head down, bumps into Zeng Xingyang, creating a bit of space, then jumps and shoots a three-pointer from the 45-degree left angle.

The shot is a bit forced.

But the University of Arizona has a three-point strategy, though the opportunity didn’t fully develop.

Zeng Xingyang lunges forward to disrupt Staley Johnson’s shot.

"Bang!"

The basketball hits the rim heavily and bounces off.

Towns leaps strongly, securely grabbing the rebound, then passes it to Booker.

The University of Arizona starts to foul strategically.

Booker is sent to the free-throw line.....

Eventually....

The final score of the game is 63 to 58.

The University of Kentucky narrowly defeats the University of Arizona and advances to the Sweet 16.

As soon as the game ends, the teammates all rush to hug Zeng Xingyang.

From the start, this game was against them, but Zeng Xingyang’s appearance changed the dynamics of the two teams.

In the final moments, Zeng Xingyang’s crucial three-pointer and defense helped the University of Kentucky secure victory.

Coach Calipari is very excited about the team’s victory.

This game is one of the few come-from-behind victories for the University of Kentucky this season.

Calipari’s focus remained on Zeng Xingyang. He remembers when he first met Zeng Xingyang, this little guy was still training hard every day.

He was clearly a player trying to earn opportunities through hard work.

Although Calipari likes such a training attitude, too many talented players in the team were stronger than him.

Calipari kept Zeng Xingyang on the Wildcats more to boost his teammates’ attitude, and also to be a good bench player to cheer during games.

He never expected Zeng Xingyang to make the rotation on the Wildcats.

But now, Zeng Xingyang has unknowingly grown into a key player for the team, firmly holding a spot on the draft prediction list.

Entering the NBA is just a matter of time for Zeng Xingyang.

Post-game stats, University of Kentucky: Towns 8 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks, Booker 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, Zeng Xingyang 21 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, Koulistan 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks.

Towns and Booker’s scores are not higher than Zeng Xingyang’s now, but it doesn’t mean their impact has decreased.

On the court, the two of them drew most of the defensive attention, allowing most of Zeng Xingyang’s shots to be open.

If Zeng Xingyang had to take on their defensive pressure, his stats might not look as good.

Of course, in terms of this game, Zeng Xingyang’s performance was MVP level.

University of Arizona: McConnell 14 points, 12 assists, Staley Johnson 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists.

"Guys, go give your opponents a hug." Calipari said after gathering everyone together.

March Madness, a single game determines life or death, and many college players’ basketball dreams will end tonight, which is why March Madness is so captivating.

It’s a brutal scene, and Calipari hopes the Kentucky students can learn to respect every opponent.

The Arizona University cheerleaders have turned into weeping messes, arousing pity.

One wants to comfort their wounded hearts.

Zeng Xingyang stands in the middle of the line to hug and shake hands with the opponents.

Staley Johnson said to Zeng Xingyang, "Zeng, I’ll remember you, hoping to face you in the NBA."

Staley Johnson couldn’t wait for the next showdown with Zeng Xingyang.

Before Zeng Xingyang took the court tonight, he played comfortably, but after Zeng Xingyang played, it became harrowing.

He wants revenge!

Zeng Xingyang said, "Sure, I hope you improve then, don’t play as badly as tonight."

If you can’t say something well, then don’t speak?

Staley Johnson was almost infuriated by Zeng Xingyang’s comment, still trash-talking after the game.
