NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Chapter 11 Two Ghosts Knocking on the Door, Begging to Read More

As Griffin unleashed his explosive dunk, Smith's mocking voice rang out in the broadcast booth.

At this moment, he felt relieved.

On the next play, Griffin received a pass from his brother Taylor and slammed the ball into the basket with an alley-oop.

The basketball hoop trembled and made a whistling sound as it was tormented by Griffin's impact.

Oklahoma went on a scoring run, while Curry's shooting touch started to wane after his first two three-pointers.

Although Griffin plays power forward in the NBA, he could play center in the NCAA at his height of 208cm.

With his amazing jumping ability and excellent rebounding positioning, Griffin frequently pulled off behind-the-back rebounds over Lofdale.

Meanwhile, Griffin's explosive athleticism made the Wildcats' interior defense completely unable to resist, and the Wildcats' basket became a stage for Griffin to freely display his talent.

The situation took a dramatic turn for the worse, with the Wildcats losing their lead and the score now 13-8.

Seeing that Curry's three-point shooting touch was declining, Zhou Yi stepped up.

Taylor Griffin is a physically imposing forward who, like his brother Griffin, possesses strong muscles and outstanding athletic talent.

However, he didn't have his brother's agile footwork. Sometimes, a man not only needs to be big but also fast; only by being both big and fast can he smash his way to base.

The Wildcats' passing and cutting system suited Zhou Yi perfectly. With a simple V-shaped back run, he shook off the clumsy Taylor Griffin.

He received a pass from Curry, jumped up and made a mid-range shot, the ball flying in a beautiful arc into the basket.

"Shit."

Taylor saw that Zhou Yi's mid-range shot was ineffective; the kid jumped too high, and his long arms made his release point extremely high.

With two consecutive mid-range shots, Zhou Yi kept the score close.

At the Speedsters Arena, Thunder scouting director Hennigan and scout Dawkins were sitting in the stands.

"Hennigan, look at this kid's jump shot. There are very few people in the NBA who can block that release point."

As Dawkins spoke to Hennigan, his eyes gleamed as he watched Zhou Yi on the court.

Dawkins became a loyal fan of Zhou Yi after witnessing his performance firsthand at the Wildcats' game against the University of Kansas.

He watched all eight of the Wildcats' warm-up games via video recording after that.

The more Dawkins looked, the more certain he became that he had discovered a freshman with explosive talent.

This young Chinese man, Zhou Yi, is like a gem encased in stone; a gentle tap will reveal its dazzling brilliance.

After this national competition, Dawkins was absolutely certain that Zhou Yi's name would appear on the desks of scouts at every NBA team.

Hennigan didn't answer Dawkins, but simply watched Zhou Yi running around on the court with admiration in his eyes.

This young man from China has already caught the eye of NBA teams.

Taking advantage of Taylor Griffin's sluggish footwork, Zhou Yi hit his third consecutive jump shot, narrowing the score gap to two points.

Beep - the referee whistle blows.

Oklahoma City's head coach Jeff Capel called the first timeout of the game from the sidelines.

"Hahaha, Smith, you're doomed! Zhou has forced Oklahoma to call a timeout!"

Inside the ESPN studio, Magic Johnson looked at A. Smith with a wide grin, while the nationally renowned commentator was now turning purple with rage.

"Shit, McGee, it's just a small bet, it's nothing."

Anyone would be helpless against someone who suddenly appears. The Speedsters have already called a timeout, and Coach Capel will soon devise a strategy to take him down.

As Smith spoke, he glared at the magician, thinking that the damn guy just wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

Although Smith was stubborn, his anxious gaze constantly looking at the screen betrayed his worry.

Shit, who would have thought this Chinese kid was serious?

On the sidelines, Zhou Yi sat on the bench. After months of training and match care, Eze had realized his status as a substitute and obediently handed him a towel.

After wiping away his sweat with a towel, Zhou Yi and his teammates stood beside head coach McGillop.

"Guys, you guys were great. Today's game was broadcast nationwide, and you showed the Wildcats' spirit."

Next, we'll focus on Curry and Yi. Everyone will run around passing the ball to them to finish the game.

"Go, lads, take the lead, and leave the arena victorious!"

As McGillop spoke, he looked at Zhou Yi in front of him, whose handsome and youthful face showed no sign of nervousness.

The entire audience erupted in a cacophony of boos due to Zhou Yi's consecutive performances, but the young man's eyes remained resolute, as if he showed no fear or apprehension whatsoever.

McGillop is now absolutely certain that the Davidson Wildcats' gift has been opened.

It's not a 10-yuan special offer, but a 100-yuan bill.

Inside is an incredibly dazzling and precious gem.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, Speedsters head coach Capel was nervously strategizing for the upcoming play.

"Taylor, you can't handle this Chinese kid by yourself. Give him a way to break through and put him inside. Blake, you need to collapse the defense and help defend."

The Griffin brothers nodded.

"Don't worry, coach. If this kid dares to drive to the basket, I'll teach him a lesson."

Blake Griffin spoke calmly, a serious expression on his honest face.

Before the game, he had also heard that this Chinese kid had dunked on the Kansas center with a "dunk of death".

But Blake Griffin showed no fear; he was willing to do anything for the team's victory.

If you look at Griffin's future scouting reports, his exceptional talent is not the most emphasized aspect.

He possesses unparalleled professionalism, which is the first sentence countless scouts write about him in their reports.

The game resumed, and the players from both sides returned to the field.

The basketball was passed to Zhou Yi after being passed around by the Wildcats.

Taylor Griffin was still standing in front of Zhou Yi, but his position clearly revealed more paths to breakthrough.

Zhou Yi glanced at Blake Griffin, who was entangled with Lovedale, but whose agile footwork was ready to help Taylor defend at any time.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Wildcats team were being relentlessly harassed by the Speedsters.

All eyes were on Zhou Yi, the cameras were focused on this newcomer to the NCAA, and viewers across the United States were watching it intently.

In the audience, Hennigan stared intently at Zhou Yi, his eyes filled with curiosity.

The choice was to drive into the paint to face the combined blockade of the Speedway's Griffin brothers.

Or should he timidly pass the ball to Curry? This Chinese kid has to give an answer.

boom--

Zhou Yi dribbled past Tyler Griffin and charged towards the basket.

He gave his answer: basketball is about facing men head-on.

Taylor Griffin, standing to the side, did not give up; he tried his best to follow the footsteps of the I Ching.

Griffin, who was entangled with Lofdale, quickly helped defend when he saw Zhou Yi heading towards the basket.

As his foot stepped into the free-throw line, Zhou Yi leaped high into the air.

His incredible leg power propelled him into the air, where he glided gracefully, wielding the ball with one hand as he slammed it towards the basket.

Meanwhile, Tyler Griffin, standing to the side, jumped up as best he could, trying to disrupt Zhou Yi's dunk.

Blake Griffin, who was in position to provide defensive support, also displayed his terrifying jumping ability.

He jumped high into the air.

In an instant, two seemingly insurmountable barriers rose between the basketball in Zhou Yi's hands and the hoop.

The Griffin brothers' double door-banging is ready.
