Volume One: I Came, I Saw, I Conquered! Chapter Twenty-Five: USA Today
Behind him, a group of players rushed over, forming a circle around Zhang Yu, their hands on their teammates' shoulders, cheering loudly as they spun around. "You were right! Stephen played like a superstar. Now I know why you valued him so much." It was no wonder. After defeating Indiana State, the Bulldogs played four more games and won them all, achieving a 5-0 record and ranking first in the Horizon League. He greeted the students along the way and sat down in his office before opening the newspaper. However, the ripples caused by this game were confined to Indiana. The Bulldogs were, after all, a small team, and people's attention remained fixed on powerhouses like Duke, North Carolina, and UCLA. Outside of Indiana, Zhang Yu and Curry's names were not mentioned at all... "You were right! Stephen played like a superstar. Now I know why you valued him so much." In the morning, Zhang Yu left his apartment, retrieved the day's newspaper from the mailbox downstairs, and walked towards his office. Zhang Yu hugged his players one by one with a smile and shook hands with McKenna at the scorer's table. "Of course, we must mention Butler's head coach, Ronan Zhang. This Chinese coach is the youngest head coach in the NCAA at just 23 years old. He is known as 'Coach Z.' He demonstrated exceptional on-the-spot adaptability during the game and commands great respect in the locker room, earning high praise from his players. It is rumored that he was the one with the discerning eye who discovered Curry's potential and recruited him to the team." This statement was made by the "King of Show-offs," Larry Bird, a legendary alumnus of Indiana State. Afterward, the reporter asked Zhang Yu a few routine questions, and his answers were impeccable, surprising the journalists. You must understand that American fans don't prioritize the NBA over college basketball; March Madness viewership easily surpasses the NBA playoffs each year. On the day of the NCAA finals, the NBA even suspends games, as no one watches the broadcasts when people are tuning into the NCAA finals. They didn't know that in his previous life, Zhang Yu had watched countless interviews with coaches and players. In that information-saturated era, he had also witnessed numerous instances of star players clashing with fans, with Durant being a prime example. With so many negative examples, he was well-prepared to handle the media. "This is just the beginning," Zhang Yu said calmly. "Congratulations, you almost won." This young man was remarkably composed, showing no signs of being a rookie head coach. As the Director of Basketball Operations, Micah Shulsbury shielded Zhang Yu from pressure from the board, but he himself was somewhat uneasy, unsure if letting Zhang Yu succeed Rickert was the right decision. Curry glanced at Zhang Yu and smiled. However, the ripples caused by this game were confined to Indiana. The Bulldogs were, after all, a small team, and people's attention remained fixed on powerhouses like Duke, North Carolina, and UCLA. Outside of Indiana, Zhang Yu and Curry's names were not mentioned at all. McKenna's expression stiffened, and he said nothing, shaking his hand and turning to leave. Zhang Yu pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. This was USA Today, one of the top three newspapers in nationwide circulation and one of North America's most renowned sports media outlets. Afterward, the reporter asked Zhang Yu a few routine questions, and his answers were impeccable, surprising the journalists. Zhang Yu and Curry sat down, and a wave of surprise rippled through the reporters. <Stephen Curry's Untold Story: From Repeated Rejections to a 29-Point Game> – This was a daily newspaper leaning towards emotional reporting. This statement was made by the "King of Show-offs," Larry Bird, a legendary alumnus of Indiana State. Curry glanced at Zhang Yu and smiled. "I am very grateful to the coach. Without him, I wouldn't even have been able to get into the NCAA," Curry said. As the Director of Basketball Operations, Micah Shulsbury shielded Zhang Yu from pressure from the board, but he himself was somewhat uneasy, unsure if letting Zhang Yu succeed Rickert was the right decision. "This is just the beginning," Zhang Yu said calmly. <Shocking! Indiana State Lost to a Transparent Team, and the Opponent Was the NCAA's Youngest Head Coach> – This was a tabloid known for its sensational headlines. On the way, students he encountered greeted him enthusiastically. "Can you elaborate on the tryout process?" another reporter asked. On the way, students he encountered greeted him enthusiastically. "Trying to act like a senior in front of me." "Of course!" Zhang Yu replied with a smile. As the Director of Basketball Operations, Micah Shulsbury shielded Zhang Yu from pressure from the board, but he himself was somewhat uneasy, unsure if letting Zhang Yu succeed Rickert was the right decision. Curry scored an astonishing 29 points, 7 assists, and 3 steals in his NCAA debut. He made 6 three-pointers out of 10 attempts, scoring 18 points. Mike Green scored 12 points. Ben Sladon was heavily utilized by Zhang Yu in the second half, scoring only 3 points but dishing out 5 assists, playing a crucial role as a surprise player. Zhang Yu felt a surge of satisfaction. Indeed, winning was the only truth. Behind him, a group of players rushed over, forming a circle around Zhang Yu, their hands on their teammates' shoulders, cheering loudly as they spun around. "Can you elaborate?" the reporter pressed. "Ronan, what are you grinning about?" Stevens pushed the door open as Zhang Yu was feeling happy. "Before this game, Coach McKenna said he would teach me a good lesson. I look forward to other coaches teaching me lessons too." "Ronan, what are you grinning about?" Stevens pushed the door open as Zhang Yu was feeling happy. Coupled with Curry, who averaged 28.7 points and was currently the NCAA's leading scorer, the Bulldogs were able to make the front page of USA Today's sports section. The game ended with the Bulldogs defeating Indiana State 77-67. "Ronan, what are you grinning about?" Stevens pushed the door open as Zhang Yu was feeling happy. Curry glanced at Zhang Yu and smiled. Zhang Yu hugged his players one by one with a smile and shook hands with McKenna at the scorer's table. "What do you have to say to those who didn't believe in you?" It was no wonder. After defeating Indiana State, the Bulldogs played four more games and won them all, achieving a 5-0 record and ranking first in the Horizon League. Curry scored an astonishing 29 points, 7 assists, and 3 steals in his NCAA debut. He made 6 three-pointers out of 10 attempts, scoring 18 points. Mike Green scored 12 points. Ben Sladon was heavily utilized by Zhang Yu in the second half, scoring only 3 points but dishing out 5 assists, playing a crucial role as a surprise player. Curry spoke eloquently, and the reporters quickly typed on their keyboards. And his name appearing on the front page of the sports section could only mean one thing – he had become famous. On the Indiana State side, Moore scored only 8 points in the first half but exploded in the last five minutes, finishing with 24 points and 4 assists. Cole made 5 three-pointers out of 12 attempts, scoring 15 points. Tonnell was highly efficient with his mid-range shots from the free-throw line, making 6 out of 8 attempts for 12 points. "This is just the beginning," Zhang Yu said calmly. "...In the past five games, Butler University has won all of them. The most outstanding player on the team is freshman Stephen Curry, the eldest son of former NBA star Dell Curry. He averages 28.7 points, currently ranking first in the nation, with a three-point shooting percentage of 43.5%. He is the biggest contributor to the team's first-place ranking in the Horizon League." Zhang Yu pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. They didn't know that in his previous life, Zhang Yu had watched countless interviews with coaches and players. In that information-saturated era, he had also witnessed numerous instances of star players clashing with fans, with Durant being a prime example. With so many negative examples, he was well-prepared to handle the media. However, the Bulldogs had Zhang Yu, a peculiar individual. As the youngest head coach in the NCAA, his ethnicity and age were eye-catching. If the Bulldogs' performance were mediocre, it would be one thing, but they had won five consecutive games and ranked first in the league, winning each game by more than 10 points. This instantly drew the attention of the entire nation to the Bulldogs, and Zhang Yu's personal fame also greatly increased. After the Indiana State players left the court, Zhang Yu instructed his players to bow to the fans, and thunderous cheers erupted from Hinkle Fieldhouse. <Son of a Legend Plays Well, Butler Defeats Indiana State, Horizon League Landscape Shifts> – This was the well-known Indianapolis Star from Indiana, with the most normal headline. And his name appearing on the front page of the sports section could only mean one thing – he had become famous. <Son of a Legend Plays Well, Butler Defeats Indiana State, Horizon League Landscape Shifts> – This was the well-known Indianapolis Star from Indiana, with the most normal headline.

Curry spoke eloquently, and the reporters quickly typed on their keyboards.

"This is just the beginning," Zhang Yu said calmly. "Coach Z, what do you have to say about winning against Indiana State?" The first reporter's question was standard. He greeted the students along the way and sat down in his office before opening the newspaper. However, the ripples caused by this game were confined to Indiana. The Bulldogs were, after all, a small team, and people's attention remained fixed on powerhouses like Duke, North Carolina, and UCLA. Outside of Indiana, Zhang Yu and Curry's names were not mentioned at all. Of course, due to the varying strengths of different conferences, this scoring title is not highly valued. Only performance in March Madness earns universal recognition. This was USA Today, one of the top three newspapers in nationwide circulation and one of North America's most renowned sports media outlets. He walked in, saw USA Today on the table, and gave Zhang Yu a knowing smile. "Can you elaborate?" the reporter pressed. Micah Shulsbury nodded repeatedly. "Stephen, you played best in this game. What do you have to say?" "You were right! Stephen played like a superstar. Now I know why you valued him so much." The next day, the sports sections of Indiana's local newspapers were dominated by the Butler vs. Indiana State game. "I am very grateful to them. Without the previous setbacks, I wouldn't have met the coach." On the way, students he encountered greeted him enthusiastically.

"Before joining the Bulldogs, I participated in tryouts for many prestigious schools, but I was rejected by Duke, North Carolina, VT... They all thought I was too skinny and couldn't handle the intensity of the NCAA. Only the coach believed in me, offered me a full scholarship, and even made me the starting point guard," Curry explained. They didn't know that in his previous life, Zhang Yu had watched countless interviews with coaches and players. In that information-saturated era, he had also witnessed numerous instances of star players clashing with fans, with Durant being a prime example. With so many negative examples, he was well-prepared to handle the media. Curry spoke eloquently, and the reporters quickly typed on their keyboards. This young man was remarkably composed, showing no signs of being a rookie head coach. Trying to act like a senior in front of me. He offered Zhang Yu a few more words of encouragement and left contentedly. "Coach Z, can we win tomorrow?" He offered Zhang Yu a few more words of encouragement and left contentedly. The reporter then interviewed Curry. Zhang Yu pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. If it were just like this, it would be fine. NCAA Division I is divided into 32 conferences of varying strengths. People's attention is focused on competitive conferences like the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East, which are home to many prestigious schools. They don't pay much attention to smaller conferences like the Horizon League. Micah Shulsbury nodded repeatedly.

Judging by Zhang Yu's ability to adapt, he was definitely an excellent head coach. He walked in, saw USA Today on the table, and gave Zhang Yu a knowing smile. Zhang Yu and Curry sat down, and a wave of surprise rippled through the reporters. In the morning, Zhang Yu left his apartment, retrieved the day's newspaper from the mailbox downstairs, and walked towards his office.

Since the Horizon League was a small conference and only Indiana State could be considered a powerhouse, Butler University had been obscure. Therefore, only reporters from Indiana's local media attended, and their numbers were sparse.
