March 22, Phoenix, University of Phoenix Stadium.

The NCAA 32 strong game between the Davidson Wildcats and the Arizona State University Sun Devils will be played here.

The University of Phoenix Stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 people, was once again packed.

Today there are still many famous people coming to watch the game.

Curry's family and friends cannot be absent. In addition, there are also some scouts, agents and NBA general managers.

Presti, Steve Kerr and others were among them, and they came to personally inspect their favorite players.

"Through previous observations, it has been initially determined that James Harden has the ability to play in the NBA. If we cannot get the No. 1 pick, choosing him will be the most cost-effective." Thunder chief scout Hervey whispered to Presti beside him.

Communicating.

"What about Stephen Curry, the other core player in this game?" Presti asked.

"Stephen Curry's shooting ability has definitely reached the top level of the NBA, but his body is too thin. I am worried that he will not be able to adapt to the intensity of the NBA's confrontation, and there is a certain risk." Hervey answered patiently.

"Well, I understand."

Presti nodded, thoughtfully, and then changed the subject.

"Do you think those guys came here to pick up the leaks?"

Hervey looked in the direction Presti pointed and saw his colleague.

"These guys can't afford to be early because they have no advantage. They should be here to inspect the other two main players of the Wildcats."

"Oh, what about which two? Do they have potential?" Presti asked.

The Thunder theoretically have two first-round draft picks this year, so they would take a gamble if they could.

After hearing this, Hervey told Presti the information he had collected about Sun Yi and Whiteside.

"If they are not ranked high, you can take a gamble."

At this stage, the Thunder urgently need players like Sun Yi and Da Baibian.

After Presti and Hervey finished their discussion, the fans around them began to get agitated and let out deafening cheers and shouts.

"Okay, the game is about to start. After watching this game, you will know who to bet on." After Presti finished speaking, he turned his attention to the playing field.

At this time, the appearance ceremony began, and players from the Wildcats and Sun Devils ran out of the tunnel one after another.

After the entrance ceremony, players from both sides came to the court to warm up.

During the warm-up activities, Sun Yi specifically glanced at the Sun Devils' warm-up half.

He was very curious about what Harden looked like in college.

When Sun Yi saw Harden for the first time, he was stunned for a moment.

This is completely different from the image of Harden in his impression. Harden without a beard looks cute and cute.

"This is James Harden!"

Sun Yi always felt that it looked awkward, but he thought that Harden with a beard looked more pleasing to the eye.

Harden realized that someone was secretly watching him, looked around and found the "culprit".

When Sun Yi saw Harden looking over, he smiled as a greeting, then turned around and continued his warm-up activities.

"That guy is really weird."

Harden didn't think much and continued his warm-up activities, just assuming that the guy opposite was admiring his heroic appearance.

Not long after, the warm-up activities ended and the players from both sides returned to the bench.

The referee blew the whistle and signaled the starting players from both sides to come to the center circle and prepare for the jump ball.

In the jump ball session, Dabai Bian easily turned the ball back, giving the Wildcats the first opportunity to attack.

"On the first possession of the game, the Wildcats adopted their usual pick-and-roll tactics to see how the Sun Devils responded."

Mike Breen, who served as the on-site commentator, explained.

He was very curious if the Sun Devils could think of a way to crack the Wildcats' tactics.

On the court, Curry bypassed the screen and broke through to the three-point line.

The Sun Devils are very determined to pursue defense around the pick and roll, and the wings and corner players are ready to cover the defense.

Seeing this situation, Curry did not rush into the penalty area and patiently observed the position of his teammates.

Sun Yi, who was standing in the right corner, saw that his attack was blocked and immediately started to cut towards the basket.

The Sun Devils players immediately retreated to the basket and cut off the passing line between Curry and Sun Yi.

"It looks like the Wildcats are in trouble and I don't know how they're going to handle it."

Breen was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Sun Devils to break the Wildcats' tactics so easily.

On the Sun Devils' bench, head coach Pera smiled when he saw what was happening on the court.

They don't fight unprepared battles!

After watching the video of the Wildcats' crazy three first-round games, the Sun Devils' coaching staff knew that they could not let Curry open up and must curb this.

And he also has to find a way to cut off the Wildcats' passing game.

If these two points are done well, then the Wildcats will be like tigers with their teeth pulled out, posing no threat.

Obviously, the Sun Devils did these two things and successfully limited the Wildcats' offense.

Seeing that the Sun Devils were well prepared, Curry frowned and could only complete the attack by himself.

Immediately, after dribbling the ball under his hips, he immediately made a crossover, shook the defender's center of gravity, quickly stepped back, opened some distance, and threw the ball.

Sun Devils guard Josh reacted and immediately rushed to interfere.

Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the frame and the Sun Devils protected the defensive rebound.

Curry's shot was not interfered with, he just didn't make it.

Harden dribbled forward, came outside the three-point line, waved, called the pick-and-roll, and executed the tactics arranged by the coach.

Wildcats shooting guard Ingram took a few steps back, getting ready to go around the pick-and-roll.

Before the game, the task assigned to him by head coach Mike Luop was to consume Harden's physical strength at all costs.

In the Wildcats lineup, excluding Sun Yi, Ingram is considered the best perimeter defender.

Sun Yi was assigned other tasks, and the arduous task of defending Harden could only be given to him.

When Harden saw the defender retreating, he didn't wait for his teammates to come to cover, and directly started to break towards the basket.

Ingram stopped, quickly adjusted his center of gravity, and moved laterally to block the ball, but he was still a step too slow and watched as Harden rushed past him.

"You were careless!" Ingram secretly regretted it and quickly turned around to pursue him.

Harden broke through into the penalty area, soared into the air, dodged and moved in the air, pulled the lever to avoid Dabai's block, and hit the board.

0:2!

The Sun Devils fans in the audience were extremely excited, shouting Harden's name and cheering him on.

Looking back, the Wildcats' pick-and-roll cooperation still failed to work.

Curry forced his way to the basket and still failed to hit the high-ball floater.

Hilton, the Sun Devils' inside man, grabbed a backcourt rebound and made a long pass to launch a defensive counterattack.

Harden, who was on a fast break, received the pass, rushed to the basket at lightning speed, and made an easy layup.

The Sun Devils fans in the auditorium once again erupted into deafening cheers and shouts.

When the Wildcats players saw this situation, they did not panic and remained calm and composed.

Sun Yi exchanged a few words with Curry in a low voice, and then ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.

Curry ran to the baseline to catch the ball and dribbled forward unhurriedly.
Chapter completed!
