The Australian team continued to fiercely resist, aiming to accumulate as many points as possible and reduce the point difference. Simultaneously, they attempted various methods to halt Su Jing's progress.
They believed that even if they couldn't completely halt him, they could exhaust his energy and stamina. Once Su Jing left the court, it would be their opportunity to seize control.
However, Su Jing maintained his blazing intensity throughout the entirety of the second quarter, encompassing the entire first half of the game. When they observed Su Jing still on the court during the second half, the Australian team found themselves dumbfounded.
Su Jing must have expended a significant amount of energy attacking alone in the first half, an exertion that would have been insufferable for anyone else. Yet, there he stood, still on the court for the second half. Was this all just a facade?
They soon realized that Su Jing wasn't merely putting up a front. To their astonishment, he continued to play with unwavering intensity throughout the third quarter, never easing up for even a single minute until the end of the period.
The third quarter came to a close with a score of 98:72. It was evident that both teams struggled to impede each other's offensive prowess, resulting in a high-scoring affair. However, the Chinese team had already established a significant advantage in the point differential.
As the fourth quarter commenced, Su Jing finally took a break, giving the Australian team a moment of respite. They seized the opportunity to unleash their full firepower, quickly narrowing the point gap by six.
Their relief, however, was short-lived. To their astonishment and despair, Su Jing unexpectedly returned to the court once again. "Damn, you only rested for a few minutes. Are you made of iron?" Their hopelessness deepened as they realized that Su Jing possessed an unyielding determination, even surpassing the strength of iron itself.
For the remaining time, he unleashed his full offensive prowess, shattering their aspirations of closing the score gap.
Ultimately, the game concluded with a final score of 122:91. Su Jing's individual score reached a mind-boggling 102 points, surpassing the previous single-game record of 100 points set by the legendary Wilt Chamberlain.
"Unbelievable! 102 points in a single game! What is happening?"
"This not only surpasses Kobe's 81 points but also exceeds Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points, setting a new record for the highest single-game score in basketball history."
"He's truly extraordinary!"
The victory of the Chinese team over Australia would have been a remarkable story in itself, generating widespread discussions among sports enthusiasts.
However, at this moment, the focus of attention shifted to Su Jing's astounding achievement of scoring 102 points single-handedly, surpassing the entire score of the Australian team.
His performance throughout the game left an indelible impression on those present at the arena and the countless viewers watching the broadcast, astonishing basketball fans worldwide.
"We won! We won!" Su Ya exclaimed with elation.
"Is this still our son?" Ye Qin could hardly believe her eyes.
"When did this kid learn basketball?" Su Zhenyue found it hard to fathom and he couldn't help but wonder if he possessed extraordinary basketball genes that had remained dormant within him all this time.
"He's absolutely incredible." Zheng Nan, Wang Zhuo, and others from the Galactic Corporation Group were left in awe.
"This guy is truly unstoppable." Wang Siya was also astounded. Yin Ningning, Cheng Shiyao, Zou Xue, and the rest were at a loss for words. They couldn't help but question, was Su Jing even human.
"What has he experienced in the past two years?" Wang Yan's doubts grew even stronger. She had a relatively clear understanding of Su Jing from two years ago.
It was difficult to comprehend how a person could grow to such an extent within such a short span of time. Not only in two years but even in a lifetime, such progress would be deemed unlikely. Something extraordinary must have transpired in Su Jing's life.
Naturally, Murong Xian'er, Nalan Fei, Zhu Jianhua, Peng Ming, Lin Hao, Xiao Rui, Shi Lei, Qin Xulan, Liu Qing, and countless domestic fans were equally shocked and pleasantly surprised. A wave of joy and excitement swept across the entire nation.
However, before everyone could fully digest the situation, later that afternoon, Su Jing ventured into an entirely unrelated event— Boxing.
Within a single day, he transitioned from basketball to boxing, leaving many foreign viewers who were previously unaware of him utterly bewildered.
…
Inside the boxing ring, Su Jing faced off against an American boxer, leaving both the live audience and those watching on television perplexed.
"Isn't that Su Jing, the basketball player who just broke the record for the highest single-game score?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Hold on, so he can box too, in addition to playing basketball? And he just finished a basketball game this morning, now he's competing in a boxing match in the afternoon? Where does he find the energy?"
"What if he gets injured? Won't he be not able to play basketball then?"
The Chinese audience at the arena still held a sense of confidence in Su Jing at this moment. Unlike before the basketball game, they weren't as anxious.
Although basketball and boxing were different sports, they shared some similarities. As a martial arts expert, Su Jing was expected to have certain advantages, right?
On the other hand, foreign viewers were unfamiliar with the situation and found it dubious for a basketball player to participate in boxing.
Under the guidance of the referee, the two fighters went through a simple opening ceremony, and then the match began.
The American boxer appeared highly spirited, circling around Su Jing with nimble footwork, maintaining a certain distance from him, and throwing out tentative jabs to intimidate his opponent.
In contrast, Su Jing remained unnervingly calm. He didn't even bother raising his hands in defense as he simply stood there nonchalantly without moving his feet.
Suddenly, the American boxer lunged forward, launching a rapid jab toward Su Jing's face, displaying surprising speed. At that moment, almost everyone believed that Su Jing, who didn't even assume a defensive stance, would be unable to dodge and would be finished, right?
