NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

After Zhou Yi and McGillop's conversation that night, the Wildcats' training the next day underwent some changes.

The veteran coach incorporated some mid-range shooting and off-ball cutting tactics that were more suitable for Zhou Yi into the Wildcats' passing and cutting system.

With Curry as the primary ball-handler, Zhou Yi, leveraging Lofdale's impressive size and thickness in the NCAA, can frequently drive to the basket for cuts.

When the opponent chooses a full-court press tactic to pressure the Wildcats' passing system.

Curry and Zhou Yi can also frequently use their individual offensive abilities to punish opponents from the three-point line and mid-range.

On the defensive end, Lofdale remains the core of the interior defense.

On the outside, Zhou Yi was given more roles, and he needed to defend the opposing team's key player.

Meanwhile, on the weak side, McGillop asked Zhou Yi to participate more in help defense and rebounding, using his jumping ability and wingspan to grab more rebounds.

The Wildcats' tactical adjustments have undoubtedly increased Zhou Yi's role on the court, allowing him to better showcase his physical talents in the game.

The veteran coach also told him that the adjustment of the team's tactics was a decision made after discussions with the assistant coaching staff.

This will not only allow Zhou Yi's talent to be better showcased, but also enhance the Wildcats' ability to fight tough battles.

Zhou Yi knew that this was the stern-faced teacher supporting his dream in his own way.

The Wildcats' training session was proceeding smoothly in the arena.

Meanwhile, inside the ESPN broadcast studio...

Notorious racist A. Smith and his partner Mike Wilburn are arguing endlessly about whether the I Ching will get them drafted by the NBA.

"Oh, shit, Smith, you can't become a die-hard fan of Zhou just because you're wearing his jersey now."

He only played one NCAA regular season game; the sample size is too small. There are countless players in the NCAA who have had spectacular performances in just one game.

Wilburn looked at Smith with a questioning tone, only to see that the famous American commentator was in a rather comical state, wearing a Zhou Yi number 8 jersey over his suit.

No! No!

Wilburn, it's not about the jersey. Yes, I lost to Magic Johnson, and I'm going to wear Zhou's jersey for a week of national television coverage.

But it was this kid's amazing performance that made me fall in love with him, and I'll still wear his jersey from now on.

Smith pointed to his number eight jersey and continued with a serious expression.

"Nobody dislikes a tough, amazing kid on the court, Wilburn, the NBA will draft him."

Wilburn could only sigh helplessly as he looked at his stubborn partner, pointing to the big screen.

The above is the Davidson Wildcats' upcoming schedule, which includes one of the most prestigious schools in NCAA basketball.

Duke University is ranked second among universities in the United States.

"Smith, your wonderkid is about to meet a real tough opponent, and this time it's not Tyler Griffin, who was drafted in the second round."

Wilburn turned to look at A. Smith beside him, a hint of mockery in his eyes and a confident smile on his lips.

"Duke University, under Coach K, has shown strength on both offense and defense this season, with four players making the projected draft list."

Meanwhile, their star small forward is Gerald Henderson, a top prospect in this draft class, projected to be a top-ten pick in the 09 draft.

"Henderson has explosive athleticism. Draft media reports indicate that his defensive ability has reached NBA level, and multiple teams in the league have expressed interest in him."

Wilburn looked at Smith, emphasizing each word and speaking with unwavering conviction:

"This time, Zhou will face off against a top-ten draft pick. All scouts will be focused on this crucial matchup, and every detail on the court will be magnified."

"The myth of your wonder boy will be ended by Henderson himself."

......

Zhou Yi watched a replay of the ESPN program with Curry, and the two stayed together in Zhou Yi's dorm room.

Davidson College provides Wildcats players with luxurious single-person dormitories to ensure they get enough rest each day.

Curry was greatly displeased with Zhou Yi's outrageous remarks on the screen.

"That damn Wilburn, he's known for his meanness, and a lot of players don't like him."

Curry shook his head as he spoke, glancing at Zhou Yi. He saw that his friend's face was calm, showing no worry about facing a formidable opponent.

This guy has always been like this. In the months that Curry has played with Zhou Yi, he has never felt that Zhou Yi is afraid of anything.

Whether facing the 213cm Aldridge or the near-number one draft pick Griffin, Zhou Yi remained calm, but his eyes gleamed with a burning desire and obsession for victory.

Zhou Yi looked at the photo of Duke University's Henderson College on the screen.

As far as he was concerned, this player was selected 12th overall by the Charlotte Bobcats in the 09 draft. After two years of honing his skills in the NBA, he had his peak season with the Bobcats.

His peak seasons were from 11 to 14, when he averaged 15 points and 1 steal per game.

As a physically gifted jumper, Henderson delivered a spectacular dunk against Dwight Howard of the Lakers.

And Duke in 09 had more than just Henderson.

还有11年次轮被活塞选中的凯尔・辛格勒，11年首轮21顺位被奇才选中的诺兰・史密斯，10年首轮22顺位被开拓者选中的埃利奥特・威廉士。

Their lineup also includes Miles Plumlee, the older brother of the young support player Plumlee.

Duke University, as a traditional powerhouse in the NCAA, truly lives up to its reputation; any one of its players could be a future NBA player.

Coach K, a legendary NCAA coach and West Point graduate, also influenced this team with his tough and disciplined approach.

According to Zhou Yi, in the original history, the Davidson Wildcats suffered a crushing defeat in this matchup against Duke.

Curry failed to score in the first fourteen minutes, and the Wildcats trailed Duke by 25 points at halftime.

Coach K used a high-pressure defensive strategy throughout the game to limit the still somewhat inexperienced Curry in the first half.

Despite Curry's explosive performance in the second half, the team still lost by 12 points.

Looking at Wilburn spouting nonsense on the screen, Zhou Yi knew that this was the current opinion of most media outlets regarding him.

Major draft prediction websites update their rankings daily, but Zhou Yi's name has not yet appeared on any of their draft prediction lists.

His sudden burst of talent was indeed amazing, but everyone worried that it was just a flash in the pan.

The NCAA Division I league has 32 conferences, and players showcase their talents every day. To gain continuous media coverage and attract the attention of NBA teams, one must strive for excellence.

They must emerge victorious in every high-stakes match, like this nationally televised game against Duke University.

Zhou Yi had to face Henderson and his Duke team in front of a large number of media, scouts, and fans.

If even the slightest mistake leads to a loss, the media will magnify it endlessly, attacking the player like a pack of sharks smelling blood.

They will then tear off the mask of the "Miracle Boy of the I Ching" and launch a fierce attack on him.

This is a high-stakes gamble; the winners reap both fame and fortune, while the losers face endless criticism.

The show has ended, and Curry has left Zhou Yi's dorm to go back and have a long phone call with Ayesha.

Zhou Yi turned off the TV and prepared to study the Henderson game video he had obtained from the team's assistant coach.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind, and Zhou Yi opened the system screen.

[Random Tasks Awarded]

[In a highly anticipated game across the United States, they defeated Henderson, one of the best small forwards from the 09 draft class.]

[The host is required to score 30 points or higher and limit Henderson to below 20 points, leading the Davidson Wildcats to victory in this match.]

[Reward for successful mission: One repair for intermediate-level injuries]

Intermediate injury repair can quickly heal injuries such as sprained ankles and mild concussions, which is extremely tempting for those who frequently engage in escaping and flying.

If they can win this reward, they will have more security in future competitions, since injuries are the biggest threat to a player's career.

Zhou Yi looked at the reward on the screen with great longing in his eyes.

It looks like this game against Duke University is one they absolutely must win.
