Dunking Over Juwan Howard, Igniting the Great Western Forum!

There were still a few days left before the semifinals began.

The Basketball Trio from China first arrived at UC Berkeley to catch a glimpse of Li Fei in person.

And the first thing the three of them thought when they saw Li Fei was.

Holy crap, he's so tall, so big!

They pinched his muscles, holy crap, so hard!

It was no wonder he was hailed as an international superstar with the potential to surpass the level of Bruce Lee.

At 2.24 meters tall with a 2.45-meter wingspan, it was no exaggeration.

With this muscle density, he wasn't just some ordinary Asian; he was practically a Saiyan.

"Xiao Li, although this is our first time meeting, we have already seen your magazines and posters countless times."

"Your physique is even more exaggerated and rugged than we imagined."

Xu Jicheng pinched Li Fei's arm and wouldn't let go, as if he were admiring a work of art: "These arms, these thighs, this height—I've seen young Yao from the Shanghai Youth Team, but compared to you, he's far behind."

"Old Man Xu, ah no, Brother Xu, please wipe your drool first; there are people filming over here."

At this time, Xu Jicheng, whose hair had not yet turned white, was only 10 years older than Li Fei at most.

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Xu Jicheng hurriedly wiped his drool.

He was too hungry for talent, truly too hungry.

From the moment he first saw Li Fei, Xu Jicheng knew.

The dawn of Chinese basketball had finally arrived!

"By the way, Teacher Xu, that young Yao from the Shanghai Youth Team you just mentioned..."

Li Fei finally reacted.

"Oh, oh, the young Yao's name is Yao Riyue, he's a center for the Shanghai Youth Team. Even at his young age, he's already over 2 meters tall, and bone age predictions suggest his height will exceed 2.2 meters."

"Before you appeared, I thought he would become the pillar of the future men's basketball team. Now it seems the person who will carry that burden has to be you."

"I believe young Yao will become your best backup center!"

"Hahaha."

Li Fei squinted and chuckled twice, but his face turned dark the moment he heard the end.

Li Fei's sudden change in expression made the Basketball Trio feel a bit nervous.

"While I will be the one to carry the burden for the future Chinese men's basketball team, I must reiterate one thing."

Li Fei said solemnly: "I am a guard, not a center."

???

The trio was stunned for a moment, but soon they burst into laughter.

Good grief, a 2.24-meter guard...

Was this what they called American-style deadpan humor?

Li Fei, of course, knew who Xu Jicheng was talking about.

However, at his current age, Yao Riyue probably hadn't even fully grown up yet.

There were still a full 6 years to go before Yao Riyue entered the NBA.

But just thinking about the Chinese men's basketball lineup 6 years from now.

Yao Riyue + Li Fei.

The imaginative potential of this twin-tower combination was truly terrifying.

The Basketball Trio conducted a simple interview with Li Fei, covering his college life and chatting about daily routines, which made Li Fei feel quite nostalgic. Afterward, they filmed a few simple segments of Li Fei's training.

Although there were no actual games to use as a reference yet, the content they had filmed so far was enough to leave the Basketball Trio deeply shocked.

Taking this footage back home for editing and processing, they could probably broadcast at least a 10-episode documentary.

But relaxed and warm times are always short-lived.

Soon.

Late March, US time.

In Los Angeles, USA.

The Great Western Forum.

The intense and passionate Final Four semifinals were about to kick off!

UC Berkeley Golden Bears vs. Michigan Wolverines.

Nearly 20,000 fans made the Great Western Forum restless and buzzing.

The number of online viewers for the NBC broadcast in the US had already exceeded ten million before the game even started!

During the pre-game warm-up, the cameras from China remained steadfastly focused on Li Fei.

As if to provide more material for the Chinese documentary, Li Fei did not hesitate to showcase his talent and basketball skills.

At the same time.

Li Fei also noticed two figures on the opposing court.

"Juwan Howard" and "Jalen Rose"!

Juwan Howard, the power forward who would later partner with Yao, was nicknamed "Uncle Huo" by the Chinese fans.

In his second NBA season, he averaged 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game; stability and reliability were his hallmarks.

Right now, he was playing the role of the absolute anchor for the University of Michigan.

Jalen Rose, the versatile, high-scoring guard who would later average 23+5+5 in the NBA.

After Chris Webber left, he took on a much larger share of the offensive load.

It could be said that these two core players held up half the sky for the Michigan Wolverines.

At the same time, the University of Michigan had also stockpiled a 2.13-meter-tall defensive center.

"Eric Riley."

You didn't need to be a genius to figure it out.

Eric Riley and Juwan Howard would do everything in their power to create difficulties for Li Fei.

"Senior Chris is watching me from the sidelines; I will never let him down!"

In a pre-game interview, Juwan Howard shouted with his arms raised: "Tonight, let Michigan shine with glory once again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen at the arena focused on Chris Webber in the spectator section.

The former Michigan player had taken time out of his schedule to attend the game tonight.

He was wearing Juwan Howard's number 25 jersey.

All to support his alma mater!

"No one can withstand the bite of a hungry pack of Wolverines!"

In front of the camera, Chris Webber also spoke with excitement:

"I will be here to watch the Michigan Wolverines charge to the summit!"

On the Golden Bears' side, facing the passionate support for Juwan Howard and Chris Webber.

Coach Todd chose a steady approach.

"Our opponents tonight mean business."

Coach Todd tapped his knuckles against the tactical board: "But we will meet all changes with consistency."

"Let's observe their defense first; give the ball to Li Fei and initiate from the inside."

"Don't worry, Coach."

Li Fei said with a smile: "We are calmer than anyone else."

After he finished speaking, the starting lineups for both teams took the court.

For the Golden Bears: Jason Kidd, Michael Bryant, Lamond Murray, Green Stewart, and Li Fei.

For the Wolverines: Jimmy King, Jalen Rose, Sam Cassell, Juwan Howard, and Eric Riley.

JUMP BALL!

Just as two intersecting lines on a plane can have only one point of intersection, the outcome of Li Fei's jump ball had only one possibility.

Li Fei swung his large hand and tapped the ball directly into the hands of Kidd.

The next moment.

Facing Eric Riley's stubborn struggle during the jump ball, Li Fei's long legs spanned the court as he sprinted toward the paint.

"Damn it!"

On the sidelines, Wolverines head coach Steve Fisher frowned deeply: "Stop him, quickly!"

The thing he feared had happened.

To avoid losing momentum at the start, he hadn't told his players to concede the jump ball.

And yet, Li Fei's classic opening jump ball alley-oop had exploded as expected.

At this moment, Juwan Howard, guarding the rim, jumped up fiercely, clashing with the "Devil Muscle Man."

He did not retreat in the slightest.

Just like the promise made by the Fab Five three years ago.

The Wolverines will never be slaves!

Li Fei gripped the basketball tightly in mid-air, and the moment they collided, both players were sent flying in opposite directions.

But relying on his massive wingspan, Li Fei slammed the ball into the hoop with a thunderous CRASH!

2-0.

Beep, beep, beep...

The sideline referee's whistle blew instantly. Zhu Wan was called for a defensive foul, and Li Fei was awarded an and-one.

In an instant.

The Great Western Forum erupted with a surging, overwhelming wave of noise.

At this moment, the Basketball Trio on the sidelines were trembling, too preoccupied to even be shocked as they scribbled crookedly into their notebooks.

Li Fei possesses incredible athletic ability and the courage to fear nothing; he dares to complete any dunk that pushes the limits of the human body. His dunks are art that transcends human imagination...

Their pens moved at lightning speed.

They were terrified of missing even the slightest detail of Li Fei's strengths.
