Chapter 12 Come out and face me!
Chapter 12 Come out and face me!
Dwyane Wade faced the toughest game of his college career.
The performance of the opposing players could very well lead to Marquette University's elimination.
As the team's leader, Wade was certainly anxious, but on the court, being anxious is useless.
Especially when facing a player like Li He.
Not only could it exert pressure on both offense and defense, but the magical attack of language was also continuously disrupting Wade.
"Dwayne, to be honest, you played pretty well in this game, you've already got 9 points, 9 is really lucky for you."
"You need to be more aggressive in your counter-attacks. This mid-range shot isn't very effective. How about I teach you next round?"
"You're really not cut out to be a leader!"
"Dwayne, can't you shoot a three-pointer?"
"Three-pointers are an essential skill for guards. Come on, shoot one, let's see!"
Wade is getting really annoyed. Is this guy a broken record?
It affects me all the time!
Wade, in a fit of pique, attempted a three-pointer, but missed.
He was getting a little exasperated, and on the defensive end, he squeezed together with Li He and gave him a good beating.
"Dwayne and Hansen Lee are going a bit overboard! They're clearly getting worked up!"
"But judging from the game, it seems that the usually strong Dwyane can't outmuscle Li He?"
"Oh... Dwayne just shoved Hansen Lee and knocked him down!"
"The referee immediately stopped the game!"
The NCAA semifinals were incredibly heated, and when Wade angrily shoved Li He, the Arizona Wildcats players immediately became unhappy.
The first to rush in was Iguodala; this guy really knows when to fight.
Just as Iguodala was about to demand an explanation from Wade, he suddenly felt himself being pushed away. He was about to turn around and get angry when he realized that it was Li He who had pushed him away!
That's all!
At this moment, Li He rushed up angrily, his two long arms like iron clamps, grabbed Wade's shoulders and pulled him over!
Li He never had a submissive temperament and simply didn't understand how to pretend nothing had happened when someone provoked him.
If you dare push me down, I'll definitely make you regret it.
There's never a shortage of trash talk on the field. If you hear a couple of trash words, you'll break down when you're behind and get frustrated.
"Dwyane, you're up to something, aren't you? Let's settle this after the game! I'll be waiting for you in the ring!" Li He stared into Wade's eyes and said, word by word.
"Come out and face me if you dare!"
Li He's height and reach are both exaggerated, and with his maxed-out [Boxing] skill, he is absolutely formidable in the ring. Even James Jensen would be no match for him.
This scene completely shocked Wade during his college years, who felt that the person opposite him was a formidable plague god and regretted his earlier actions.
The referee immediately stepped between the two:
"Don't do it!"
"This is the semi-final, broadcast live across the entire United States!"
With the referee in control, the incident gradually subsided.
Wade received a technical foul, while Li He received a verbal warning from the referee.
With 5 minutes and 22 seconds remaining in the second half, the University of Arizona held a commanding 76-57 lead over Marquette University.
Li He glanced at the scoreboard and said with a smile, "It seems Dwayne wants to go down and rest early."
"Thanks for that 20-point lead."
With that, he walked to the free-throw line and, amidst the clamor, calmly sank the free throw.
The 20-point gap became the final straw that broke Marquette University's back.
With five minutes remaining, the Golden Eagles were still putting up a fierce fight, trying to pull off a miracle.
However, the 30-second interval between attacks didn't give them enough opportunities.
The match ended.
The Arizona Wildcats crushed the Marquette Golden Eagles 83-65 to advance to the NCAA Final Four!

Meanwhile, Dwyane Wade, who was matched up against him, was completely lost under Li He's defense.
He only managed 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, along with 4 turnovers; his performance was poor.
Seeing the young people celebrating joyfully in the center of the court, the general managers of various NBA teams felt a mix of emotions.
Especially Pat Riley of the Heat.
He came specifically to see Dwyane Wade, but at this crucial moment, he was completely suppressed by a 19-year-old Chinese player, and his performance was completely unacceptable!
Elgin Baylor and Jerry West also left a deep impression on me.
If this young man participates in the talent show this year, he's worth keeping an eye on.
Elgin Baylor stretched: "Jerry, what do you think of this number 31 player?"
Jerry West aptly put it: "He's a shooter who takes everything to the extreme."
This is a fair assessment, and it also represents the two men's impression of Li He.
We will pay close attention to it, but we won't devote too many resources to it.
The reason is simple: even if a pure shooter is good at defense, his development potential in the NBA is limited.
He can only be the second-in-command at best, not the team leader.
Considering the overall technical characteristics, Li He didn't give them the same sense of future development as Dwyane Wade.
"But I have to say, that kid's shooting touch is just amazing," Elgin Baylor added. "With a few years of experience, he could be a great piece of the championship puzzle."
Jerry West nodded: "That's what I think too."
……
Li He, the hero of this event, was certainly unaware of the discussions among the bigwigs, as he was being interviewed in the center of the arena.
Jim Nantz finally got to interview this Chinese talent on site. In addition to continuing his superb shooting performance in this game and leading his team to victory, he also...
His matchup against Dwyane Wade, one of this year's top draft picks, and their interactions during the game were quite interesting.
Jim Nantz cut to the chase and asked:
"Hansen, you did a fantastic job today!"
"We're curious, what did you say to Dwyane Wade at the time?"
Li He smiled and said calmly:
"Um, may I say this?"
"If it's not particularly excessive," Jim Nantz added.
Although they're all basketball players, most of them have brains, and even those with low emotional intelligence wouldn't say anything too offensive, Jim Nantz thought to himself.
Oh, right, except for this one.
Because in an interview, he once commented on the other key players of the four teams that made it to the final four – they were alright.
Li He pondered for a moment and said:
"OK, actually, this kind of thing is quite common on the field."
"But I don't think this should happen during a game."
"I told Dwyane that we can have a friendly sparring session in the boxing ring sometime."
"I am also somewhat skilled in martial arts."
Although Li He said this with a smile, Jim Nantz could clearly sense the hostility in his words.
Rush!
That's too much!
This seemingly humble and reserved young man harbors a bomb of impulsive passion within him. Once it explodes, he will make the other party pay a heavy price!
Because this is a game broadcast live across the entire United States, with tens of millions of viewers watching on camera. Even after the game ends, there will still be millions watching.
Li He's words were tantamount to publicly challenging Dwyane Wade in front of the entire nation's cameras.
The meaning is already very clear!
Dwyane, wanna box?
