NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

The schedule for the Wildcats vs. Duke game has attracted a lot of attention from American fans online.

This young Chinese player from the Davidson Wildcats has recently become very popular among fans.

More and more people are starting to call the I Ching a "miracle boy".

His video of leaping over Aldridge and dunking over the Griffin brothers has already garnered hundreds of thousands of views.

Even across the ocean, some netizens have begun to pay attention to the I Ching.

"Wow, this guy's dunking is incredible! Can he even dunk on Yao Ming?"

"It's unlikely, but Aldridge, who leaped forward, was once hailed as the new hope for white centers in the United States. His draft position has dropped because of him."

"Could he participate in the 09 NBA draft?"

"According to comments from Americans, Zhou Yi has not yet been predicted by the media to be in the draft pick, after all, he only played one good game in the regular season."

......

Zhou Yi hasn't been paying attention to netizens across the ocean yet. Right now, the entire Davidson Wildcats team is in a tense atmosphere, training for the upcoming big game.

Coach McGillop on the sidelines often had a furrowed brow, and he was getting home later and later.

He spent his evenings in the office studying Duke University game videos with his teaching assistant, Massini.

Duke University's strength and Coach K's reputation seemed to hang like a dark cloud over the Wildcats.

In this atmosphere, the competition quietly began.

Duke's home arena, Cameron Indoor Stadium, which, despite having a capacity of only 9314, is one of the smallest arenas in the NCAA.

But the entire arena resembled a blue ocean, with Duke fans, all dressed in blue t-shirts, using boos, noise, and interference to maintain the historical winning percentage of this hellish home court at 78%.

The stands, which are very close to the court, have a steep slope, so much so that Duke's student fans can even reach behind opposing players to form a thousand-armed Guanyin (a Chinese deity).

Zhou Yi walked into Duke's home arena with the team. When Duke fans saw this rising Chinese youngster...

Zhou Yi immediately received their loving cheers.

"Chinaman, Henderson will kick your ass in."

"Chinese kid, get out of Duke's home court. You and that kid next to you are not welcome here."

"Fuck you, fuck you!"

Boos that were loud enough to shatter eardrums filled the arena as Duke fans welcomed the visiting Davidson Wildcats in the most enthusiastic way.

"Zhou, these damn guys look like they're about to rush onto the field and kill us."

Curry's voice trembled slightly, indicating nervousness. He had recently cut his hair and was now bald.

I've tried it with Zhouyi, and it feels good.

He grabbed Curry's bald head with his large hand, trying to relieve Curry's pressure in this way.

Zhou Yi was never afraid of anything on the court, but Duke University's hellish home court still made him witness the madness of the NCAA.

In the ESPN studio, ESPN deployed a four-person commentary team for today's nationally televised broadcast.

Black Smith and his partner Whisper, along with guest Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal, who had switched teams to the Suns at the time.

"Hey Smith, why are you wearing Zhou's jersey?"

The magician grinned, showing off his white teeth, and teased Smith, who was wearing Zhou Yi's number eight jersey, in the studio.

"Oh, shit, please don't bring that up again. I'm wearing Zhou's jersey today because I support him."

Smith said, pointing to his jersey.

Whether this famous American commentator is genuinely convinced by the I Ching or simply trying to create a dramatic effect for his show, he has recently become a die-hard fan of the I Ching.

"Oh, Zhou, I support him too. In Oklahoma City, he beat the fans so badly they applauded him." Magic Johnson nodded, then looked at O'Neal and asked.

"Shaq, what about you?"

At this time, O'Neal was enjoying the final spring of his career with the Suns, and the amazing medical team in Phoenix relieved the pain in his right knee.

"Oh, amazing kid Zhou, but I'm more in favor of Henderson. His career resume is much richer, which Zhou doesn't have yet."

After a moment's thought, O'Neal said, "This is also the attitude of most media outlets that focus on the I Ching."

This young Chinese man's recent performance has indeed been phenomenal, but there is a lack of sufficient sample size.

Wilburn, standing to the side, nodded, indicating that he still maintained his own viewpoint.

"I said that Henderson from Duke would end the wonderkid."

.......

At this moment, Zhou Yi was unaware that he had already stirred up a confrontation in the ESPN live broadcast room.

He and his teammates stood together, surrounding head coach McGillop, listening to the veteran coach's pre-match instructions.

"In today's game, Duke will implement their full-court press defense. Everyone should be cautious and pass the ball well."

McGillop said, looking at the whole team.

Even before the Wildcats players stepped onto the court, they were already sweating with tension.

A madhouse home court, legendary Coach K, a roster full of draft picks—the pressure is trying to crush the Wildcats' lads.

On the sidelines, a large number of media outlets gathered, their cameras and microphones recording everything.

In the stands, scouts from more than half of the NBA teams were seated, and the player files they held even recorded a player's past from elementary school onwards.

Their sharp eyes swept over every player on the court, and any mistake would be recorded and appear on the team management's desk, affecting their draft stock.

A tense atmosphere spread within the Wildcats.

"Hey guys, look at me..."

McGillop's voice rang out, and the deafening noise of the scene forced the veteran coach to shout as he spoke.

"Don't be nervous, trust the process. We have worked hard for this battle, and I believe in you, my children."

After finishing his explanation, the veteran coach embraced every starter on the Davidson Wildcats.

When he reached Zhou Yi's side, the old general gently encouraged him in his ear.

"Go for it, kid. This will be your first step into the NBA. I believe in you."

.......

The referee blew the whistle, and the game officially began with a jump ball between the two sides.

This time, Lofdale finally tipped the ball over to Curry.

When the Davidson Wildcats gained possession, the Duke fans on the sidelines went wild.

One by one, the blue-shirted fans wearing blue afro wigs put their arms around each other's shoulders, stomped their feet and shouted, trying to create noise that would break down the Wildcats' mental defenses.

After switching to point guard, Curry's physical disadvantage was reduced at the point guard position. Facing Duke University's point guard Nolan Smith, he made a clever crossover and drove into the paint.

Nolan quickly stretched out his arm to follow Curry, trying to disrupt Curry's layup.

Curry tossed the basketball toward the basket, but this ball, which usually goes in without a doubt, seemed to be under the spell of Duke's home court, bouncing off the rim.

The rebound was grabbed by Duke center Brian Zubac, a 216cm tall bear who is Duke's interior shield, making Lofdale a full 11cm shorter than him.

Possession of the ball changes hands, offense and defense switch.

Noel advanced the ball to the frontcourt, Zubac set a screen, and Noel drove straight to the basket, taking advantage of Zubac's solid build.

Facing Lofdale's defense, Noel passed the ball directly to Kyle Singler outside the three-point line.

This white sophomore averaged 34% three-point shooting percentage during his sophomore season at Duke, and his three-pointers swished through the net with ease.

With their offensive and defensive prowess, Duke's players have demonstrated why they are currently ranked second among college teams in the nation.

The Duke fans in the arena were cheering, celebrating this perfect start.

"Davidson's kittens, go back to your town."

"Have you seen how awesome Duke is, you bastards?"
