Liam looked up and was stunned for a moment before reacting:

"Okay, sorry, I just sat down..."

He was a little incoherent and quickly retracted his outstretched legs.

The visitor smiled, walked past Liam, and sat down next to him.

This was a Latin American girl with flowing black hair, a good figure, and fair skin. She wore a dark black sweater under her yellow windbreaker, on which was printed a lifelike stick figure of a bulldog.

Her appearance was not particularly stunning, but her eyes had a softness that was not found in most American girls, which made Liam frequently "inadvertently" turn his head to look at her.

Amid his frustration, the game finally began.

Although the distance was a bit far, Liam could still see the situation on the field clearly.

He saw Drew's failed jump ball and clapped his hands in frustration. Then he became nervous about the team's defense. The opponent was a super powerhouse that had won 7 NCAA championships and ranked first in the number of wins and winning percentage in NCAA history!

But he soon breathed a sigh of relief. Kentucky's offense failed, and Drew grabbed the rebound.

The Bulldogs attacked; Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, Drew followed up from behind to provide cover, and Liam's emotions, which had just relaxed, became tense again.

He had been looking at the girl next to him and did not pay attention to the introduction of the Kentucky player. The opponent's center No. 5, whose name he did not know, came up to defend, but Drew's screen was solid, and Curry got a little gap and directly shot a three-pointer!

While the basketball was still flying in the air, Liam raised his hands high, attracting the attention of people around him.

But then the basketball went into the net, and Liam shouted proudly, smiling happily.

He watched all of Butler's home games, and sometimes he would pick up the ball for Curry, who was practicing. He was so familiar with his shooting that he knew the ball would go in as soon as he shot it.

Looking back, Kentucky had the ball. Liam kept saying "no" to himself, but their No. 21 guard still made a mid-range shot.

As the rounds changed, Curry faced the opponent's tight defense and did not get an easy chance to shoot.

At the beginning of the game, he didn't need to hold the ball hard, so he passed the ball to AJ Graves.

Liam clenched his hands into fists. Except for Curry, the shots of the other Bulldogs looked very risky to him.

This time, AJ Graves seized the opportunity, shook off his opponent, and made a quick stop jump shot, and Liam applauded and cheered.

But in the next round, he was nervous again, worried about the Bulldogs' defense...

Time often passes quickly during the game, and the first half passed by in a flash amid Liam's constant emotional ups and downs.

At halftime, the Bulldogs led Kentucky by 8 points, 46-38, which put Liam in a good mood.

Throughout the first half, he was either cheering for the Bulldogs' successful offense or being upset about the team's failed defense. He kept moving and shouting, and he sweated a lot.

He is the epitome of American football fans.

They like to watch games live and immerse themselves in the frenetic atmosphere. After watching a whole game, they may feel excited or frustrated and disappointed, and their emotions are fully released.

In the intense game, they had no time to study the lineups and tactical arrangements of both sides. They focused more on scoring goals and didn't even know the players on the opposing team well.

Liam picked up a can of beer at his feet and was about to drink it when he caught a glimpse of the Latin American girl next to him. He put down the beer without a word and replaced it with a bottle of Coke, which he drank in big gulps.

After drinking half a bottle of Coke in one breath, Liam let out a sigh of relief.

He put down the Coke and said to the girl next to him casually:

"Are you a Bulldog fan too?"

"Yeah," the Latina girl laughed, "You too? I saw you were cheering for the Bulldogs just now."

"My name is Liam, and I'm a student at Butler University," he explained.

The Latin goddess widened her eyes and said in surprise:

"Are you a Butler student as well? My name is Christy, and I'm a freshman in law school."

"Wow, what a coincidence! I'm also a freshman, majoring in sociology." Liam was very surprised. He felt that his college life had finally ushered in spring.

Where should we go for our honeymoon? Miami's Golden Beach should be a good choice...

He stared at Christy, his mind already wandering to other places.

Liam didn't have to daydream for too long; the 15-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the second half of the game continued.

He looked at the big screen in the middle of the court, with the camera aimed at Curry.

He was chewing on his braces, with his hands on his hips and his eyes narrowed, looking at the Kentucky players across from him.

Liam leaned back in his chair and smiled easily:

"Curry is in great shape; we will definitely win this game!"

Christy looked up and saw Curry's first-half stats on the right side of the screen: 3 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 10 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds.

"How do you know? His performance in the first half didn't seem very good," she asked curiously.

"He's my roommate. Did you see the look in his eyes? When he looks at people like that, his opponent will be in trouble." Liam said firmly.

Christy looked at him doubtfully and said nothing more.

The first attack of the second half was initiated by Kentucky. Liam watched the court nervously and saw the No. 21 guard who often scored goals in the first half successfully break through Curry and make a layup.

"Damn!"

He cursed under his breath, and his attention was immediately drawn to Curry.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, facing the defense of Kentucky's No. 21, and shook him off with a smooth move, broke through to the inside, and made a layup with one step inside the free throw line.

"Yes!"

Liam threw a punch, and cheers broke out in the stadium. Curry's shot was truly beautiful.

Looking back, Kentucky's No. 21 player broke through Curry again, but his shooting action was distorted due to Drew's interference, and his mid-range shot missed. The rebound was protected by Campbell.

"Counterattack!"

Amid Liam's cheers, Curry received a pass from Campbell, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and took a long three-pointer from two steps outside the three-point line!

No. 21, who was returning to defense, was caught off guard and had no time to intervene. He could only watch the basketball fly over his head, draw a beautiful arc in the air, and fall into the net. The white net flew up like splashing water.

After the ball went in, Curry raised his hands high, raised three fingers each, and stepped back to defend, which aroused warm cheers from Butler fans.

Christy clapped vigorously, her face flushed, and said to Liam excitedly,

"Curry's three-point shot is so cool; it's more exciting than a dunk!"

"Of course, I've been watching the NBA since I was a child, and no one can shoot like him!" Liam laughed, his eyes swept over her graceful body, and then quickly looked away.

Should we have a girl or a boy? Or should we have two children? It's a bit annoying, but Christy should like it...

In the second half of the game, Curry's three-point shooting touch was completely revealed, just as Liam predicted. Facing Kentucky's defense, he was like a fish in water. He was omnipotent, shooting from inside and outside, and scored points one after another.

Kentucky focused its defensive attention on Curry, but it was to no avail. Instead, Curry led his teammates' offense through passing the ball, and the Bulldogs blossomed in multiple areas.

Liam saw on the big screen that their young head coach was sitting on the sidelines with a relaxed look on his face. He waved at the camera and made a victory gesture, which caused cheers from all the Butler fans in the audience.

The fans of the University of Kentucky have been very quiet since the second half. The sky-blue ocean that occupies most of the Jones Center did not cause any ripples, like a pool of stagnant water.

With eight minutes left in the game, the Bulldogs were leading Kentucky by 14 points, 64-50.

Swish!

Curry came out from the inside with the help of Drew's screen, received the pass from Ben Slayton, and made another three-pointer, and the Bulldogs' lead expanded to 17 points.

Liam's figure appeared on the big screen again. He was still sitting there as steady as a rock, in stark contrast to the Kentucky head coach, who was almost jumping up and down in anxiety on the other side of the technical desk.

"Coach's move was brilliant. I didn't expect him to let Ben Slaton play!" Liam laughed.

Christy nodded heavily:

"Yes, and it was he who discovered Curry. The team can enter March Madness thanks to Coach!"

Even if they are not a tactical party, after watching the Bulldogs' games for a season, they know several of the team's tactics, one of which is the double point guard lineup with Ben Slayton and Curry on the court at the same time.

When Curry missed three consecutive shots and his touch

was slightly declining, the coach quickly replaced Ben Slayton. However, Kentucky still strictly guarded Curry and did not pay much attention to Ben Slayton.

This defensive strategy was punished very quickly.

After Ben Slaton came on the court, he showed his strong impact, repeatedly breaking through with the ball and forcing the opponent to focus their defensive attention on him.

After disrupting Kentucky's defense, Ben Slayton reduced his personal offense and intentionally passed the ball to Curry, who was running without the ball.

When Ben Slayton was attacking with the ball, Curry was always attracting the opponent's defense by playing without the ball on the weak side.

After the defensive focus of Kentucky shifted, he immediately turned into a cold-blooded killer, getting rid of defenders through agile running and frequently hitting three-pointers after receiving the ball.

Kentucky's nerves, already stretched to the limit, were completely broken after Curry made two consecutive three-pointers, and morale plummeted.

They were in disarray on the offensive end, just doing whatever they got the ball for without any plan. On the defensive end, they had no enthusiasm at all, leaving the paint wide open, allowing Drew and Campbell to dunk easily.

Finally, as the buzzer sounded, the game ended, and the Bulldogs defeated Kentucky 86-70!

Liam stood up and cheered loudly, and suddenly hugged Christy excitedly:

"We won! We are in the top 16! We won!"

Christy instinctively wanted to push Liam away, but when she heard his excited voice, she blushed and gently put her arms around Liam, smiling:

"Yeah, we won!"
