NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Chapter 12: Come to Thunder and ask for more reading.

The noisy fans in the stadium seemed to have their throats suddenly choked, and everyone held their breath as they watched this tense moment.

Zhou Yi's body, gliding through the air, crashed hard into the Griffin brothers' strong bodies.

With a loud bang, the Griffin brothers slammed their hands down on Zhou Yi's arm. Zhou Yi's body was blocked by the two high walls, and his potential energy dropped instantly.

Just as his body was about to fall, Zhou Yi swung his arm and slammed the basketball into the hoop.

boom--

Zhou Yi dunked the basketball over the Griffin brothers, and the referee on the sidelines blew the whistle at the same time. The dunk was valid, and a defensive foul was committed, resulting in an additional free throw.

"Oh my god! Zhou dunked over the Griffin brothers, and the referee blew the whistle, Griffin committed a defensive foul and got a free throw! Zhou is a real wonderkid."

Cheers erupted from the microphone as the magician stared at the broadcast screen in disbelief.

Then, in a fit of emotion, he jumped up from his seat in the broadcasting room.

A. Smith, standing to the side, was stunned by the ball, covering his head in disbelief.

Zhou, this young Chinese player, actually dunked on the Griffin brothers in the most violent basketball style on Oklahoma's home court.

The previously restless Oklahoma City fans suddenly seemed to have entered a quiet library.

After dunking over the Griffin brothers, Zhou Yi fell to the ground and was helped up by Curry to prepare for the free throws.

At this moment, the elementary school student's eyes were sparkling.

Before this game, if you asked Curry who his number one dunker was, he would have said Uncle Carter's name without hesitation.

After Zhou Yi's dunk, Curry will announce to the world that Zhou is the best dunker in his heart.

Zhou Yi stepped to the free-throw line, and at that moment, the large screen above the arena was playing a replay of Zhou Yi's dunk over Griffin.

In the video, Zhou Yi stretches his body in the air, raising his arms high. His handsome face is not contorted with rage, but rather exudes composure and a strong attitude of conquering the basket.

The Griffin brothers, who were defending, raised their arms at the same time, but could only hit his forearm.

An inch longer means an inch stronger; the short Tyrannosaurus Rex brothers were destined to have no advantage in terms of arm span.

Looking back at that dunk, Oklahoma fans are even more incredulous.

Blake Griffin, a prospect known for his talent, was defeated in a head-to-head matchup against Zhou Yi.

He showcased his exceptional talent in this nationally televised competition, but ended up as the perfect supporting actor, ultimately benefiting Zhou Yi.

Some Oklahoma fans covered their gaping mouths in shock, while others cursed the damned I Ching.

The young fan wearing Griffin's jersey could only hide in his parents' arms and cry in fear when he saw his idol Griffin being dunked on by Zhou Yi.

The sideline camera showed Griffin watching Zhou Yi take a free throw.

He rested his hands on his knees, sweat dripping from his forehead, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of fighting spirit that ran deep in his bones as he looked at Zhou Yi.

Looking back on Griffin's career, he may be seen as just an average All-Star, but this power forward, who never won the Larry O'Brien Trophy, possessed a tenacity that most people lack.

Inside the ESPN broadcast room, Magic Johnson and Smith were still discussing Zhou Yi's dunk.

"Oh, Smith, I really like this Chinese kid. He reminds me of James on the big stage, oh no, that James, James Worthy."

In front of the camera, Magic Johnson squinted, as if reminiscing about the Showtime Lakers era, and then he said to Smith with a serious expression.

"He's like James Worthy, a high-flying dunker with long arms. He's an interesting kid, and maybe we'll see him in the NBA someday."

"You think he can make it to the NBA? This is only his first NCAA regular season game."

"Of course! Zhou is a magical kid," the magician said noncommittally.

.......

On the court, Zhou Yi easily made his free throw, and the game continued.

Basketball was once again under the control of the University of Oklahoma, and Griffin, spurred on by the fight, continued to use his explosive power to bully Lovedale in the paint.

He frequently drove into the paint, scoring against Lofdale.

This average-talented Wildcats center, short and stocky, often seemed helpless when facing these exceptionally talented NCAA interior stars.

Last season, the Wildcats could only rely on Curry's outstanding performance.

But this season they welcomed the arrival of Zhou Yi.

Curry controlled the ball, and Zhou Yi constantly used his movement and footwork to outmaneuver the slow-moving Tyler Griffin.

Whether it's a pull-up jumper or a drive to the basket to create scoring opportunities.

On the defensive end, Zhou Yi also effectively limited Tyler Griffin, Oklahoma City's second star, to the point where his offense frequently went cold against Zhou Yi.

His agile footwork always kept up with Taylor's layups, and his long arms and explosive leaps delivered numerous blocks.

With Zhou Yi drawing attention to Curry's offense from the three-point line, Curry will no longer be double-teamed like he was last season.

No one dared to leave Zhou Yi open, and Curry gained more comfortable offensive space, frequently firing three-pointers.

Two young Wildcats are showcasing their talent on Oklahoma soil.

On the field, Oklahoma City was consistently dominated by the Wildcats.

Inside, Griffin continued to dominate Lovedale, but on the perimeter, Oklahoma's perimeter players were overwhelmed by Zhou Yi and Curry working together.

Until the final two minutes of the second half, the University of Oklahoma was still down by ten points.

With no other options, Oklahoma City manager Capel could only surrender by bringing in a benchwarmer lineup.

Seeing Oklahoma City substituted their starters, McGillop also opted to substitute Curry and Zhou Yi.

The two walked to the sidelines, where a sparse clapping broke out from the Oklahoma City fans who had been silenced.

That was the most heartfelt recognition for this wonderful match and for the two outstanding young men.

The applause grew louder and louder, and more and more fans put down their team support items and joined in.

Even the media on the sidelines and the Wildcats players cheered.

"Come to Thunder!"

One fan shouted, and then more and more people joined in!

"Zhou! Come to Thunder!"

Zhou Yi and Curry stood side by side.

He took the towel Eze handed him and wiped his sweat, looking at the Oklahoma fans cheering for him.

He knew that the door to the NBA had opened a crack for him once again.

"Today's NCAA highlight game: The Davidson Wildcats defeated the seventh-ranked Oklahoma City Speedsters 92-82."

Stephen Curry of the Wildcats scored 34 points in this game, while Zhou Yi, a freshman from China, scored 31 points and delivered a spectacular dunk over two opponents. —ESPN

"Thunder scouting director Hennigan spotted courtside. Who's he here for? Griffin? Curry? Or Zhou?" — Charlotte News

"My God, Curry and Zhou are so good, they're an amazing duo. Oh, Griffin is great too, but you know, nobody doesn't like more young, talented players. I hope the Thunder will seriously consider Curry and Zhou." — A fan interviewed courtside.
