"Lin challenges Allen again with a beautiful emergency stop in the mid-range—an offensive method he's never shown before!"
"This guy is insane! He's improving all the time. Who knows where his upper limit is?"
"Oh my God, Lin completed another steal. I've lost count of how many steals he's had. There's no suspense in this game!"
As the commentator's astonished remarks fill the air, the suspense of the game is gradually dissipating.
From that point on, Lin Tianhui had completely dominated the game.
Whether on offense or defense, he was controlling the flow of the game with his own prowess.
Iverson was struggling to keep up, but his efforts felt more like futile resistance.
Lin Tianhui's abilities weren't just focused on one aspect—his physical talent was being gradually showcased.
Even in the second half, his stamina was remarkably strong.
"Even Camby has had to change his jersey due to the fierce interior confrontation! His dominance in the paint has diminished under such heavy pressure."
Yet, Lin Tianhui showed no signs of fatigue throughout the game.
He moved across the court with the relentless energy of a lion, never giving up until he achieved his goals!
Even Iverson couldn't help but admire him.
Iverson was known for his consistent performance and powerful offensive skills, but the physical toll of this game was heavier than usual. Every encounter with Lin Tianhui felt like a year's worth of weariness.
73:68—the University of Massachusetts emerged victorious once again, beating Georgetown University with Allen Iverson by five points.
"The history continues!"
Iverson scored 32 points, remaining Georgetown's most reliable scorer. However, his consistent performance wasn't enough to secure a win this time, as he faced a stronger opponent.
Lin Tianhui, with his 30 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks, was undeniably the MVP of the game!
His impact on the defensive end was beyond what the statistics could capture.
In his matchup with Iverson, Lin allowed Iverson only 4 points while scoring 14 points himself!
The significant gap between the two at critical moments allowed the University of Massachusetts to advance.
Now, they were only one step away from the championship.
This dark horse with boundless potential was still pushing forward!
"I knew Lin wouldn't let us down. I'm in a much better mood now. Even Iverson fell short against him. Our defeat is justifiable!"
"Where did this guy come from? He seemed to appear out of thin air, and his influence is truly astounding!"
"Allen Iverson couldn't even keep up with him. What else can this guy do?"
Marbury and Ray Allen were continually impressed by Lin Tianhui's performance.
They had become his loyal fans, awed by his exceptional abilities.
"Damn, something big is about to happen. I wonder how many teams will be watching Lin's performance now?"
Even though Georgetown had lost, his performance was captivating enough to overshadow their defeat.
As someone who had cheered for his alma mater, his attention was now solely focused on Lin Tianhui's brilliance.
"Lin is too incredible. He seems destined to be a top-five pick in the draft. If I were the general manager, I'd select him with the first pick!"
"Not necessarily. Lin's performance is impressive, but his lack of experience could be a concern. If Iverson had played smarter, perhaps the game would have gone differently. He could have used fouls more effectively to change the outcome."
"Yes, Lin is a good choice, but in terms of long-term team development, he might not be the best pick for the top spot!"
Meanwhile, scouts on the sidelines were engaging in their discussions.
In truth, everyone knew that with his current performance, becoming the top pick was a realistic expectation.
Experience can be gained over time, while physical talent is a rarer, more immutable quality.
His talent was undeniably historical.
Particularly after his standout performance against Iverson, his draft prospects had significantly improved.
"The attention surrounding the NCAA Final Four is even higher than that of the NBA games. If he leads Massachusetts to the finals, his popularity will soar."
A player like Lin Tianhui, who has dramatically increased his visibility, is unlikely to be overlooked.
Scouts may express some doubts, but it's clear that they are keenly interested in him. They might be downplaying his prospects to avoid revealing their true intentions.
If Lin decides to enter this year's draft, he will undoubtedly be a strong contender for the No. 1 pick.
Just like the surprising dark horse from Massachusetts, Lin Tianhui has emerged as the biggest dark horse in the draft!
