"Li, it really is just as you said."

On the other side.

Kidd and Li Fei had finished watching the live broadcast of the entire game in their dormitory.

"Actually, I also felt that Purdue University would have a hard time getting past Arkansas."

As a walking basketball Deepseek.

Li Fei clearly remembered that the eventual champion of the 1994 March Madness was none other than this University of Arkansas Razorbacks team.

Before March Madness began, the media's final prediction for the University of Arkansas was around the Elite Eight.

But after entering the Elite Eight, the University of Arkansas went into overdrive, charging into the finals as a dark horse and slaying Duke University to claim the championship!

The Razorbacks' power forward, the 2.04-meter-tall Corliss Williamson, won the MOP!

But looking at the team's roster, it wasn't actually that luxurious.

In the lineup, only this MOP, Corliss Williamson, left his mark in the NBA.

This guy won a championship with the Detroit Pistons in the 03-04 season and won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in the 01-02 season.

But the team's Scotty Thurman, Corey Beck, Dwight Stewart... although they were all eventually selected in the late rounds of the NBA draft.

None of them received much playing time in the NBA and left the league in a hurry.

It seemed like this team's combat effectiveness wasn't that strong.

But never underestimate any opponent in March Madness.

Especially a championship team.

They are not simple.

And after the University of Arkansas easily defeated Purdue University.

It also earned them a great deal of attention.

Although they lacked an absolute offensive focal point, their outstanding teamwork made some knowledgeable fans start to believe.

This team might be unleashing energy recklessly throughout March Madness.

After all, being able to easily defeat the Purdue University led by Big Dog meant they definitely had some tricks up their sleeves.

Some fans had even started to predict the downfall of UC Berkeley.

Although Li Fei could turn the paint into a no-fly zone.

But a team like the University of Arkansas, which had no single point of focus, meant every player on the roster could go berserk at any moment.

This kind of team had the characteristics of an upset!

"Not having an absolute offensive focal point becoming a team's strength—that is the most ridiculous analysis."

United States, New York.

Wilt Chamberlain, who had been retired for many years, appeared on an NCAA television program.

"Basketball is a stage for superstars, especially in a single-elimination tournament format!"

"The brilliance of a superstar will be magnified infinitely!"

The camera shone on Wilt's face, revealing hollow eyes and dark circles.

Although he had been retired for many years, Wilt's womanizing ways had not subsided in the slightest.

Now that the flames of March Madness were raging.

Wilt couldn't sit still either.

Don't let his reputation for being buried in women fool you.

He followed sports events very closely.

"Wilt, although you achieved supreme glory in the NBA, I don't agree with this statement of yours."

Ernie Johnson opposed him on the spot during the TV show, bringing up an example to prove his point: "The University of Arkansas Razorbacks defeating Glenn Robinson in the last game is the best proof."

"Pfft!"

But who would have thought, the next moment Chamberlain couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You call that guy they call Big Dog a superstar?"

"I've never heard of a superstar with the nickname 'Dog'; at the very least, 'Wolf' would be acceptable."

In Wilt's eyes.

Even if Glenn Robinson won 100 first-overall picks.

He still wouldn't be associated with the word superstar.

A true superstar must, at the very least, achieve dominance in statistics that is obvious to laymen.

"There is only one superstar in all of March Madness, and his name is Li Fei."

Wilt simply stopped pretending.

He took off his coat, revealing the number 91 Li Fei jersey underneath.

"I won't comment on what heights Li Fei can reach in the NBA for now, but as far as college is concerned, this guy's dominance reminds me of my younger self!"

Wilt Chamberlain in his prime!

Good heavens.

This remark alone stirred up countless memories of youth for so many people.

Legend has it.

Wilt's NCAA debut saw him drop 52 points; he was essentially smurfing in the NCAA, where scoring 40 or 50 points was as easy as slicing vegetables.

Although there are no official game records to prove it, in that era of Wilt Chamberlain, there was no internet, no television, and not even many newspapers.

Wilt had already become the college basketball emperor in the word-of-mouth legends of that time.

Wilt Chamberlain's sudden appearance.

Brought massive viewership to March Madness.

This unbridled, outspoken style.

Completely disregarding the feelings of the Razorbacks fans.

It was truly very Wilt Chamberlain.

How could a humble person constantly bring up the number 20,000?

Speaking of 20,000, that number might be an exaggeration.

But even if it wasn't 20,000, he wouldn't dare claim it was if it wasn't at least 2,000.

Compared to Magic Johnson, who had just tested positive for HIV two years prior, Wilt only knew how to play even wilder.

However, what Wilt didn't know yet was.

He only had five short years left of his dashing and romantic lifestyle.

Three days later.

Phoenix, USA.

America West Arena.

"Perhaps Li Fei will be this year's number one overall pick."

"Perhaps Li Fei is the most outstanding player this year."

"Perhaps Li Fei, just as Wilt Chamberlain said, possesses unparalleled dominance!"

During warm-ups, University of Arkansas's primary star Corliss Williamson showed off his eloquence into the microphone.

"But as far as I know."

"Wilt Chamberlain never won a championship trophy during his college years!"

As soon as Corliss Williamson's words were out.

The fans at the arena erupted into a buzz of excitement.

This kid actually has some talent for trash talk.

The facts were exactly as he stated.

Despite how awesome Wilt Chamberlain was.

In his two years of college, he truly never brought a championship to his team.

Wilt reached the finals with absolute individual statistical dominance, but lost by one point to the North Carolina Tar Heels in the championship game.

Williamson was using facts to strike back at the comments Wilt Chamberlain made on the television program.

"If I remember correctly."

"Glenn Robinson was once hailed as the next Michael Jordan!"

"So we don't mind eliminating the next Wilt Chamberlain as well!"

The game hadn't even started, but the tension was already palpable.

Under the promotion of Wilt Chamberlain, this game.

The hype had climbed to the extreme.

And just as everyone was waiting to see how Li Fei would respond.

The arena suddenly erupted into another wave of commotion.

Following that.

On the giant screen at the venue, a figure very familiar to Phoenix fans appeared.

Those thick, sturdy thighs and that round, voluminous backside—as those hips swayed, countless young women screamed in desire.

Recognizing the man by his backside.

Even before seeing his face clearly, the fans at the arena were already certain.

The greatest player in the history of the Phoenix Suns had arrived at the arena.

The Flying Pig, Barkley!!
