—————————————————————————————————————————————

Curry's expression became serious as he prepared to single out Zabian, but before he could begin, Harmon approached from the side without even looking at Graves.

Curry: "???"

The game just started, and you're already double-teaming me?! Are you being polite?

He took a step back, but Harmon and Zabian charged toward him with determination.

Curry had no choice but to pass the ball to Graves.

After receiving the ball, Graves noticed that there was no one within two meters of him.

He adjusted himself calmly before taking a three-point shot.

Bang!

But the shot ended up missing. Graves didn't care; his hands were a bit cold at the start of the game, but that would be fine soon.

The rebound was grabbed by Lewis, and the Bulldogs quickly retreated, giving the opponent no chance for a fast break.

Zabian steadily advanced to the frontcourt, dribbling smoothly on the outside, directing his teammates.

Under the Bulldogs' tight rotation defense, the Hokies struggled to find a good offensive opportunity, and time kept ticking down until there were 6 seconds left on the shot clock.

Zabian looked at the timer and realized he couldn't hold on any longer. He gritted his teeth and rushed in.

Curry's ability to defend wasn't as strong as Zabian's, and he was pushed into the paint.

But Liam was well prepared for this. He had considered Curry's defensive weaknesses when arranging defensive tactics and had instructed others to support Curry.

Butler came out at the right time, blocking Zabian's path while cleverly obstructing his passing vision.

He timed his help defense perfectly just as Zabian approached the edge of the key but was still some distance from the basket.

When he and Curry double-teamed Zabian on the outside, Campbell and Graves coordinated their movements to cut off the passing lanes behind them, while Drew stepped forward and waved his arms, not allowing Zabian any chance to pass the ball.

In an instant, Zabian found himself surrounded!

He quickly looked up to find his teammates but could only see the waving arms of the Bulldogs players.

Finally, he spotted Harmon on the weak side and tossed the ball over as if he were holding a hot potato.

This panicked pass was easily intercepted by Graves, who passed it to Curry. At the same time, he and Butler rushed to the frontcourt from both sides like arrows.

After receiving the ball, Curry quickly advanced and formed a fast break with Graves and Butler on the wings, swiftly entering the opponent's half.

The Hokies' defense was also quick. Salingborg had studied the Bulldogs' game videos extensively and knew how dangerous their fast breaks were. He arranged targeted defensive retreat training before the game, and the players all kept his teachings in mind.

After losing the ball, they immediately retreated!

However, although their attitude was correct, it didn't guarantee good results.

While some players retreated to block Curry and the others, preventing them from speeding up, the Bulldogs' fast break was not just a one-time deal.

Realizing he couldn't attack the basket immediately, Curry deliberately slowed down, but Butler and Graves sped up again, heading to the corners on both sides, then cutting into the paint together, setting a cross screen at the baseline.

There was confusion among the Hokies players chasing the two, and they failed to switch defenses immediately, allowing Butler and Graves to create space. Curry then passed the ball to Butler.

Jeff Allen rushed toward him, but Butler didn't hurry to shoot. Instead, he took the ball outside the 45-degree three-point line.

At this moment, Curry made his move.

The Hokies' attention shifted to Butler, who had the ball. Curry quietly made a big circle and ran from the baseline to behind Graves.

Harmon noticed his off-ball movement and rushed over to help defend, but was blocked by Graves.

Just as Curry found the open space with the help of Graves' screen, Butler's pass arrived perfectly.

When Curry caught the ball, his body hadn't fully turned around. He jumped, half-turned in mid-air, and shot a three-pointer!

Swish!

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and swished through the net!

3:0.

Liam nodded frequently on the sidelines. This was the attack he envisioned!

He glanced at the big screen and saw that only 8 seconds had passed. This was undoubtedly a blitzkrieg.

From a failed fast break, the Bulldogs' offense quickly transitioned into a semi-fast break with an emphasis on off-ball movement. The play was as smooth as flowing water and extremely entertaining to watch.

When the ball went in, Lewis and Drew had just arrived in the Hokies' half of the court and had to run back immediately.

"Nice shot!"

Butler fans at the venue erupted in cheers. They couldn't see the sophisticated tactics behind this shot, but Curry's lightning-fast release had a rhythm that was more impressive than a dunk in their eyes.

Salingborg frowned. When Curry has the ball, he can be contained by a double team, but what about when he doesn't have the ball?

Can't you send two people to follow him closely?

The more he studied the Bulldogs' game videos, the more perplexed Salingborg became. How could there be a player like Curry?

Not only is his ball-handling ability exceptional, but his off-ball movement is also top-notch, allowing him to switch seamlessly between the two modes with a variety of scoring methods that left opponents bewildered.

He had no choice but to stand up and shout to the Hokies players:

"Pay attention to Curry's off-ball movements and don't give him easy scoring opportunities!"

The possession changed, and the Hokies began their attack. Zabian still firmly controlled the ball at the top of the arc, but the Hokies still struggled to handle the Bulldogs' ironclad defense.

This time, Zabian didn't choose to drive himself. He passed the ball at the last moment, and Jeff Allen took a mid-range shot, but the basketball bounced off the rim.

Liam wasn't surprised to see the Hokies' offense falter.

The Hokies had been lucky to make it to the round of 16, but their previous opponents had not been very strong. Facing the Bulldogs, who had exceptional defensive discipline, they struggled to provide any higher-level offensive resources and seemed powerless.

In fact, the Bulldogs' defense isn't exceptionally strong; it relies more on tight rotations and the enthusiasm of the players. This was sufficient to handle the half-hearted ball handlers of the Hokies.

Ultimately, the issue was that the Hokies lacked a star player who could force points.

Why doesn't the Hokies have a star player? The story begins with a tryout two years ago...

On the court, the Bulldogs were on offense again. Curry faced another double team from the opponent, so he passed the ball to Butler, who was in an open position.

Butler had practiced spot shooting for a season and seized the opportunity, shooting as soon as he received the ball. The three-pointer went through the net.

I wonder how long you can keep double-teaming me!

Curry, who was holding back his anger and wanted to explode against the Hokies, could only continue to endure.
