"Well done, keep it up. Our tactics next are very simple: if the opponent manages to break through our pick-and-roll and passing game, then let Stephen and Bennett take turns going one-on-one, minimize turnovers, and try to finish the first half with a lead." Brian Whitman smiled with satisfaction. Just look at those scouts' stunned and shocked expressions—this Chinese big man must be making them curse up a storm inside.

Indeed, the dozens of scouts present today were all cursing Brian Whitman's entire family in their hearts. How could you keep such an outstanding player hidden for so long?

"Stephen, Blake will catch on soon, and my chances won't be as good going forward. We've already caught Blake off guard, so you need to attack more next." Before heading back onto the court, Eric Bennett patted Curry's head and said.

Curry nodded obediently, just like a schoolboy listening to a teacher assign homework. "McCullen will help you defend Blake together. Trust me, I'll make every shot I can."

Eric Bennett smiled, "Actually, you can even try shooting threes from a bit further out."

Curry was a little surprised. Had Eric Bennett already found out about him secretly practicing those ultra-long NBA threes?

The reason Curry's three-point range wasn't completely insane in college was because those kinds of threes were just...

Think about it: Curry's three-point ability only fully exploded in the future thanks to Cole's permission and encouragement. Cole once told Curry, as long as you can keep your three-point percentage above 40%, you can shoot from half-court if you want.

Right now, Curry's three-point talent was being suppressed.

Especially since Curry felt that Eric Bennett would definitely grab the rebound. He didn't know why, but he just believed Eric Bennett would get it.

Timeout over, the game resumed. The Speedsters' guard David Pearson and Griffin set a screen for a pick-and-roll, then broke through for a layup. But as soon as they came back...

The moment Eric Bennett and Curry finished their pick-and-roll, at least three or four steps behind the three-point line—was he aiming for the basket? David Pearson felt a chill inside. Stephen Curry hit an ultra-long three!

That shot was almost from the LOGO!

Was that just a lucky shot?

The home fans of the Speedsters let out a gasp of amazement. There were still more than 20 seconds left on the shot clock, and he just threw it up?

And not only did he throw it, but it actually went in!

This doesn't make sense, it's not scientific!

The Speedsters failed to score on their next possession, and the Wildcats had another chance to take the lead. Wait, what just happened?

Reggie Miller held his head in disbelief.

Curry had just dribbled past half-court, Eric Bennett hadn't even come up to set a screen yet, and from at least eight meters behind the three-point line, with a defender in his face and his form completely off, he just threw it up?

He just threw it?

This shot makes no sense!

Swish!

David Pearson had something to say but didn't know if he should say it.

Eric Bennett took a deep breath, watching Curry shake his head and celebrate. Suddenly, Eric Bennett understood why, no matter how accurate Lillard or Clay were, in people's minds the most terrifying shooter was still Stephen Curry.

Because when he's hot, even the 2K game developers can't replicate his insane three-point shooting.

42 to 39!

The Wildcats had taken the lead!

Thanks to the scoring spree from Curry and Eric Bennett, they went on a big run.

If there were any Warriors fans watching, they'd definitely say: Oh, here comes the classic momentum swing again.

Chapter 010: Absolutely Not a Fluke

At halftime, the Speedsters and Wildcats were tied at 44.

Griffin was in a terrible mood, because this was his home court, his stage!

Look, the famous NBA Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook had come to watch, along with all those NBA scouts and agents who had made countless rookies famous, and the game was being broadcast live on TV, with commentary from one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Reggie Miller...

Isn't this exactly the stage that Blake Griffin had always dreamed of?

On this stage, to crush the Davidson Wildcats led by the South Region's scoring king Stephen Curry, who had performed miracles in March Madness this year, and to put up jaw-dropping, epic numbers in front of all those scouts...

Wasn't this the script that Blake Griffin had carefully planned before the game?

Blake Griffin couldn't wait to prove himself in the NBA.

But Blake Griffin never imagined that a yellow-skinned big man would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and Stephen Curry's ultra-long threes were like a bucket of cold water poured over the fiery Oklahoma University arena, while Eric Bennett's debut and his seven straight points were another bucket of cold water...

"Blake, in the second half, let Carl Whitford guard that Chinese center to save your energy. We need you to attack." Jeff Capel didn't want his disciple to be thrown off by the opponent. It's true that the Wildcats' Chinese center played a surprise role, but Capel still believed Griffin was the better player.

He definitely didn't want to fall for Brian Whitman's trick. That shrewd old fox was surely planning to use the Chinese center to wear down Griffin on offense.
