NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

"Oh! Zhou chased down and blocked Jackson from behind. This amazing kid has shown his outstanding talent right from the start."

The giant screen above the stadium simultaneously displayed this exciting moment to all the fans in the arena.

Just as Jackson was about to smash the basketball into the hoop, Zhou Yi, who was chasing behind him, was like an eagle that had caught its prey.

He stretched out a large hand and cleanly slapped the basketball onto the backboard from behind.

The rebound that fell was picked up by Wildcats center Neilmus, who had his hands raised, and he immediately passed the ball to Curry at the three-point line.

Despite being harassed by Bulldogs point guard Tommy Toomey, Curry quickly launched a defensive counterattack.

Standing one step in front of the three-point line, Curry chose to take the shot.

With a flick of his wrist, before Toms could even react, the basketball arced gracefully into the basket.

"One defense, one offense! The Wildcats' duo ignited the game from the start."

On the second-tier stands, CBS commentators Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg, who were broadcasting the game live across the United States, excitedly exclaimed.

Zhou Yi and Curry clapped their hands. This game was against the Bulldogs, who had a huge advantage in the paint.

The Wildcats' core strategy is to speed up the game and avoid getting bogged down in positional play, giving Jackson opportunities to break through defenses.

On the defensive end, veteran coach McGillop also gave Zhou Yi more tasks, requiring him to pay attention to help defense and rebounding on the weak side at all times.

At the same time, they need to use their long arms and big hands to cut off the Bulldogs' passes to Jackson and create more opportunities for counter-attacks.

The perfect start brought cheers from the Wildcats fans who had traveled with the team.

The media's collective pessimism before the tournament suggested that everyone was waiting for the Wildcats to be eliminated in the first round of the Mad Cats' third game.

But watching Zhou Yi sprinting across the court, the Wildcats fans in the stands knew that as long as Zhou and Curry were there, anything was possible.

The game continues, and the Bulldogs have possession of the ball.

Bulldogs point guard Tom Toms carefully controlled the ball, looking towards the basket, searching for an opportunity to pass it to Jackson.

Inside, Nelmus executed McGillop's pre-game instructions, trying his best to get in front of Jackson and prevent him from receiving the ball.

But this strategy didn't work as well against Jackson, who was taller and heavier than him.

Jackson skillfully used his leg to block Nelmus's front foot and turned to receive the pass from Toomes.

With one or two thrusts, Jackson pounded Nelmus with his big buttocks.

Despite Nelmes employing Dillon-style defense, the difference in raw skill allowed Jackson to penetrate to the basket.

Jackson backboarded the ball into the basket, and facing the baseline camera, he bent his arms like crab claws and roared fiercely.

Come on!

After making his moves in front of the camera, Jackson quickly retreated to the backcourt to defend as the Wildcats inbounded the ball.

As he ran past Zhou Yi, a hint of jealousy flickered in the eyes of the Bulldogs' star player.

As a player predicted to be a second-round pick by the media, he was jealous of Zhou and Curry for receiving so much recognition from the media that predicted the draft.

This damn Chinese kid is only a freshman, yet he made it into the early first round of the draft thanks to a few lucky good plays.

"Hey Zhou, I'm going to destroy you and your Little Cats in front of the media. King Jackson will step over you to ascend his throne."

Jackson deliberately provoked him while pointing at Neilmus with a mocking expression.

"Your weak center can't stop me, and neither can you."

Looking at Jackson spouting nonsense, Zhou Yi restrained himself from punching him in the ugly face.

Competition on the basketball court is not only a contest of physical strength and skills, but also a matter of mental control.

If you were to throw a punch at Jackson at this moment, you would only fall into the trap set by this foul-mouthed black man.

"Shut your stinking mouth, you coward Jackson. Only the worst idiots bark like that."

Zhou Yi calmly retorted, but Jackson's dark face was filled with anger and a breakdown upon hearing it.

He simply couldn't understand why this Chinese man's sarcasm was so powerful.

The brief exchange of insults between the two teams ended with Jackson's defeat, and the game continued with the Wildcats gaining possession of the ball.

Despite Tomes' constant harassment, Curry kept the ball firmly under his legs.

Wildcats power forward Rossiter set a screen for Zhou Yi, who circled to a 45-degree angle.

Curry quickly and accurately passed the basketball to Zhou Yi, who was facing the defense of the Bulldogs' small forward, Darnell Porter.

Zhou Yi leaped high, making Darnell Porter's defense seem ineffective. The basketball was flicked by his wrist and flew precisely into the basket.

"Zhou! A precise mid-range shot. In terms of mid-range shooting ability, probably only DeRozan from USC can come close to his level in the 09 draft class."

The CBS commentary was broadcast to millions of households across the United States watching the game.

The offense and defense switch, and the bulldog gains possession.

Despite Zhou Yi and Curry's strong start, the Bulldogs stuck to their game plan, with Toomes passing the ball to Jackson in the paint.

As a projected second-round pick in the 09 NBA draft, Jackson certainly had some talent.

Under the basket, he constantly bullied Nelmes by using his large buttocks.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs' outside shooting was completely overwhelmed by Zhou Yi and Curry, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.

The Wildcats maintained their lead, while the Bulldogs stayed close in the score.

Until five minutes into the second half, the score remained 58-56, with the Wildcats in the lead.

After entering March Madness, the Wildcats' weak bench was almost unable to play, and Zhou Yi and Curry basically played the entire first half.

For the Bulldogs, Jackson was also kept on the court for the entire first half by Bulldogs head coach Tim Carter.

As predicted by Tim Carter and everyone else before the game, the Wildcats, having lost their only pillar in the paint, would crumble against the Bulldogs.

But that wonderkid in the number eight jersey and that elementary school student in the number thirty jersey.

This moment made Tim Carter feel incredibly troubled.

The Wildcats' star duo has managed to carry this weak starting lineup and maintain their lead until now.

On the court, even after halftime, Jackson was still panting heavily, and his pace had noticeably slowed down.

During the game, Jackson was able to score repeatedly in the paint by bullying Nelmes.

However, the Wildcats' significantly faster pace of the game caused his stamina to decline noticeably.

Finally, the Bulldogs' starting center signaled to head coach Tim Carter to be substituted for a rest.

Seeing Jackson on the court, who was already clutching his knees and defending intently, Tim Carter had no choice but to call a timeout and substitute Jackson.

"My God! Bulldogs center Jackson is already exhausted and has to leave the court to rest, while Wonder Boy Zhou is still running on the court."

Perhaps everyone misjudged the Wildcats before the game. This team, with the prodigy Zhou and Curry, might just be the real winner.
