Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Finals, Jenner Wants the D

USA, Minnesota, Target Center!

"We can congratulate the defending champions, Duke University, on advancing to the finals!"

Barkley looked at the scoreboard, which read 65:40, and said, "We thought this would be a fiercely contested game."

"But Kai Chen's excellent performance helped Duke University establish a huge lead early on."

"Duke University's legendary journey continues, and we are about to say goodbye to Michigan State University."

On the sidelines, in the Michigan State University fan section.

The once-boisterous fans were now silent.

Almost all the fans couldn't believe that their home team was trailing Duke University by such a large margin.

"Why were we so trash against Duke!?"

Immediately after, some fans began to murmur.

"We have the super three-point shooter Duncan Robinson, the best defensive player in the U.S., Jaren Jackson Jr.…"

"I can't believe that the team hailed as the best in Michigan State University's history would be defeated by a random player."

"With a 25-point difference, even if we had Kai Chen now, it would be difficult to come back."

"It's over. Everything is over."

The fans looked at each other and finally chose to accept reality.

In contrast, Duke fans were in a state of extreme excitement.

"Duke vs. Everybody!"

"Duke vs. Everybody!"

"Duke vs. Everybody!"

They hugged and celebrated on the sidelines, shouting the slogan of challenging all teams.

Kai Chen's continuous explosive performance, coupled with the team's inherent strength, gave them hope of defending their title this year.

With only thirteen seconds left in the game, Duke University led 75:55, a commanding 20-point advantage.

"Beep!"

Seeing the game was about to end, Michigan State University Head Coach Tom subbed in all his senior players.

"Go Michigan go!"

"Go Michigan go!"

"Go Michigan go!"

Head Coach Tom's substitutions also ignited the fans in the arena.

The senior players who were subbed in walked to the center of the court and waved goodbye to the fans.

This would be the last time they would step onto a college court as players.

"On the NCAA stage, no one is a loser!"

At the TNT commentary desk on the sidelines, the three commentators couldn't help but stand up and applaud the players. "Here, every player leaves a brilliant mark on their life."

"All of this stems from their love for basketball."

"Perhaps youth is inherently imperfect, but their love for basketball will forever burn brightly!"

Finally!

The semifinal between Duke University and Michigan State University ended with applause from all the fans.

75:55.

Duke University successfully advanced to the finals of this championship, and their opponent will be decided tomorrow between Arizona University and Villanova University.

"This was a wonderful game, and regardless of the outcome, I am proud of my players!"

After the game, Michigan State University Head Coach Tom took responsibility during an interview. "Losing to Duke in this game was due to my pre-game arrangements."

"I hope everyone does not change their perception of the players because of this one game."

"Poole, Duncan Robinson, Big Wagner, and Jaren Jackson Jr.—they are all rare talents in my coaching career, and the NBA will be their ultimate destination!"

Apparently, in Head Coach Tom's view, being eliminated was not a big deal.

More than the game itself, he was concerned about the draft prospects of his players this year.

This is the only concern of a truly excellent college coach.

"Of course, Jaren Jackson Jr. and the others are not the only talents in this arena."

After discussing Michigan State University's performance, Head Coach Tom still praised the opponent. "The talent of Duke University's Kai Chen and Marvin Bagley is also enviable."

"Especially Kai Chen—he was almost omnipotent tonight; he alone shattered our proud defense."

"I must remind their upcoming opponents that if they underestimate Kai, they will also pay a heavy price."

After saying this, Head Coach Tom concluded his post-game interview.

From every perspective, Michigan State University's Head Coach Tom is a respectable head coach.

After the game, during the player embrace session.

"Kai Chen, I'll will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold in the future!"

Jordan Poole proactively approached Kai Chen, and after offering his blessings, also made a fierce declaration.

Kai Chen patted Poole's shoulder and responded with a smile, "I look forward to our next encounter."

Immediately after, Kai Chen embraced Jaren Jackson Jr., Big Wagner, and Duncan Robinson, who were behind Poole, in greeting.

Although these four Michigan State University starters lost the semifinal, a brighter tomorrow awaits them.

......

"Kai Chen?!"

Just as Kai Chen was about to return to the locker room with his teammates, a sexy female voice called out his name from behind.

"Huh!!"

Grayson Allen and Kai Chen turned around simultaneously.

Upon seeing Kendall Jenner waving from not far away, Allen said seriously, "Brother, I have to tell you something—you can't handle her."

"If you want your career to continue, turn around immediately."

Just as Grayson Allen said,

"No one can truly own a Kardashian; you're just taking care of her for her next partner."

As the "alternative beauty" of the Kardashian Family, Jenner, though lacking the "curvy" devilish figure, has won the hearts of countless fans with her top-tier looks.

With a tall figure over 1.8 meters, slender, long, fair legs, and a graceful, well-proportioned body, she exuded an extreme charm.

After breaking up with Simmons, Jenner had been looking for a new target.

And now, she had set her sights on Kai Chen.

"I can!"

Kai Chen calmly replied and then walked toward Kendall Jenner.

Having integrated the peak Booker template, Kai Chen's offensive weapon had reached an astonishing "33 cm"!

Would he be afraid of Jenner!?

"Kai, you played absolutely wonderfully!"

Looking at Kai Chen in front of her, Jenner's beautiful eyes glowed. "From now on, I'm your most loyal fan!"

"Thank you."

Kai Chen smiled and replied, "It's my honor to have such a beautiful fan like you."

"Can you give me the jersey you're wearing?"

Jenner pointed at Kai Chen's jersey, her face flushed.

"Of course!"

With that, Kai Chen immediately took off his jersey and handed it to Jenner.

Upon seeing Kai Chen's muscular body, Jenner's eyes became fiery.

If conditions allowed, she would have loved to get on her knees right now.

"Here's my number. I'll wait for your call."

While Kai Chen was handing her the jersey, Jenner quickly slipped a note to him.
