Chapter 36: We're in the Sweet Sixteen!
Louis looked up and froze for a moment before realizing what he was seeing. Zhang Yu had appeared on the big screen again, still sitting there as steady as a rock—a stark contrast to the head coach of Kentucky University, who was practically jumping out of his skin on the other side of the scorer's table.
The ball went back to Kentucky University. Louis kept silently repeating, Don't let it go in, but their No. 21 guard still sank a midrange jumper.
Christie nodded emphatically. "Curry's playing great. We've got this game in the bag!"
Louis downed more than half a bottle of soda in one go and let out a satisfied breath.
"Okay, sorry, I just sat down..."
"Fuck!"
Louis didn't get to daydream for long. The 15-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the second half began.
But on the next possession, his heart was in his throat again as he fretted over the Bulldogs' defense...
Would they have a girl or a boy? Maybe they should have two kids. It'd be a little troublesome, but Christie would probably like that...
Once Kentucky University shifted its defensive focus, Ben Sladon immediately turned into a cold-blooded killer. With nimble cuts, he shook off his defender and kept sinking catch-and-shoot threes.
Though he was some distance from the court, Louis could still see the action clearly.
Curry brought the ball upcourt. Facing Kentucky University's No. 21, he pulled off a smooth fake that sent the defender flying, drove into the paint, and made a floater from just inside the free-throw line.
Louis stumbled over his words and quickly pulled back his outstretched leg.
Louis didn't get to daydream for long. The 15-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the second half began.
The Bulldogs were a mess on offense, taking shots as soon as they got the ball, with no real plan. On defense, they showed no urgency at all, leaving the paint wide open. Drew and Campbell both got easy dunks.
The Latina goddess's eyes widened in surprise. "Okay, sorry, I just sat down..."
Where should they go for their honeymoon? Golden Beach in Miami sounded nice...
The newcomer smiled and walked past Louis, taking the seat beside him.
"Good!"
"Exactly, and he's the one who discovered Curry. The team owes its March Madness run to Coach Z!"
With eight minutes left in the game, the Bulldogs were already up 64–50, leading Kentucky University by 14 points.
She was a pretty Latina with flowing black hair and fair skin. Beneath her yellow trench coat, she wore a deep black sweater printed with a vivid line drawing of a bulldog.

Christie glanced at him doubtfully but said nothing more.
"Okay, sorry, I just sat down..."
She was a pretty Latina with flowing black hair and fair skin. Beneath her yellow trench coat, she wore a deep black sweater printed with a vivid line drawing of a bulldog.
Louis jumped to his feet and cheered. Then, overcome with excitement, he suddenly grabbed Christie in a hug. Curry came off a screen from Drew in the paint, caught Ben Sladon's pass, and sank another three, stretching the Bulldogs' lead to 17 points.
Swish!
She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but her eyes held a softness that most American girls didn't have. Louis kept turning his head to look at her, pretending it was "by accident."
But then the ball swished through the net, and Louis shouted triumphantly, beaming.
"Okay, sorry, I just sat down..."
"Okay, sorry, I just sat down..."
He gazed at Christie, his thoughts already a million miles away.
While he was distracted, the game finally began.
Louis swung his fist, and the arena erupted in cheers. Curry's shot had been beautiful.
"Curry's playing great. We've got this game in the bag!"
"My name's Louis. I'm a student at Butler University," he explained.
Would they have a girl or a boy? Maybe they should have two kids. It'd be a little troublesome, but Christie would probably like that...
Though he was some distance from the court, Louis could still see the action clearly.
"Yeah, we won!"
Ben Sladon showed off his strength as a driver after coming onto the court, repeatedly breaking through with the ball and forcing the other team to shift its defensive attention toward him.
Louis saw Drew lose the jump ball and slapped his hands in frustration. Then he tensed up again, worrying about the team's defense. Their opponents had won the NCAA championship seven times and had the most wins and the highest winning percentage in NCAA history. They were a true powerhouse!

Would they have a girl or a boy? Maybe they should have two kids. It'd be a little troublesome, but Christie would probably like that...
"Of course. I've watched the NBA since I was a kid, and I've never seen anyone shoot like him!" Louis said with a laugh. His gaze swept over her graceful figure before he hurriedly looked away.
There was no need to force a shot at the start of the game, so he passed the ball to AJ Graves.
That defensive strategy was soon punished.
But Louis quickly relaxed again. Kentucky University missed its shot, and Drew grabbed the rebound.
Kentucky University's fans had been quiet ever since the second half began. The vast sea of sky blue occupying most of the Jones Center hadn't stirred at all, like a pool of dead water.
Swish!
He was chewing on his mouthguard, hands on his hips, squinting at the Kentucky University players across the court.
Louis leaned back in his chair and smiled at ease.
Louis spotted their young head coach on the big screen, sitting calmly on the sideline. He even waved at the camera and flashed a victory sign, drawing a roar from the Butler fans.
"Are you a Bulldogs fan too?"
"Yeah," the Latina girl replied with a smile. "Are you? I saw you cheering for the Bulldogs earlier."
But then the ball swished through the net, and Louis shouted triumphantly, beaming.
The Bulldogs had the ball. Curry brought it upcourt, with Drew coming up behind him to set a screen. Louis's nerves, which had just begun to settle, tightened again.
She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but her eyes held a softness that most American girls didn't have. Louis kept turning his head to look at her, pretending it was "by accident."
The ball went back to Kentucky University. Louis kept silently repeating, Don't let it go in, but their No. 21 guard still sank a midrange jumper.
"Fuck!"
"Exactly, and he's the one who discovered Curry. The team owes its March Madness run to Coach Z!"
Kentucky University's first possession of the second half began with Louis watching anxiously. He saw the No. 21 guard, who had scored frequently in the first half, get past Curry and make a layup.
He'd been looking at the girl beside him and hadn't paid attention to the introductions for Kentucky University's players. Their unnamed No. 5 center came out to defend, but Drew's screen was solid, giving Curry a little space. He went straight up for a three!
As Louis threw his arms up and cheered, Curry caught Campbell's pass, hurried upcourt, and launched a deep three from two steps beyond the arc!
Louis swung his fist, and the arena erupted in cheers. Curry's shot had been beautiful.
"Curry's form on his threes is so cool. It's even more exciting than a dunk!"
"He's my roommate. Did you see the look in his eyes? When he looks at people like that, the other team's in trouble," Louis said confidently.
"Of course. I've watched the NBA since I was a kid, and I've never seen anyone shoot like him!" Louis said with a laugh. His gaze swept over her graceful figure before he hurriedly looked away.
Christie looked up at the screen. On its right side were Curry's first-half stats: 7-of-3 shooting, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, 10 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds.
The ball was still in the air, but Louis had already thrown both hands up, drawing looks from those around him.
After that, AJ Graves made the most of his chance, shaking off his defender and sinking a pull-up jumper. Louis clapped and cheered.

But then the ball swished through the net, and Louis shouted triumphantly, beaming.
Even if they weren't fans of X's and O's, after watching the Bulldogs all season, they knew a few of the team's plays. One of them was the two-point-guard lineup with Ben Sladon and Curry on the floor together.
That defensive strategy was soon punished.
This time, AJ Graves seized his chance, shook off his defender, and sank a pull-up jumper. Louis clapped and cheered.

But then the ball swished through the net, and Louis shouted triumphantly, beaming.
How could someone who wasn't even a fan of X's and O's know so much about the team's plays? But after watching the Bulldogs all season, he knew a few of them, including the two-point-guard lineup with Ben Sladon and Curry on the floor together.
That defensive strategy was soon punished.
This time, AJ Graves seized his chance, shook off his defender, and sank a pull-up jumper. Louis clapped and cheered.
The Latina goddess's eyes widened in surprise:
His whole first half had been spent either cheering when the Bulldogs made a successful play or getting frustrated when the team's defense failed. He hadn't stopped moving or shouting, and he'd already worked up quite a sweat.
They liked watching games in person, throwing themselves into the feverish atmosphere. By the time a game was over, they'd either be exhilarated or disappointed, but they'd had a chance to let their feelings out.
He'd watched every one of Butler's home games. Sometimes he even went to rebound for Curry during extra practice, so he knew the player's shot inside and out. He'd known this one was going in as soon as Curry released it.
He saw Drew lose the jump ball and slapped his hands in frustration. Then he tensed up again, worrying about the team's defense. Their opponents had won the NCAA championship seven times and had the most wins and the highest winning percentage in NCAA history. They were a true powerhouse!

The Latina goddess's eyes widened in surprise:
They didn't have time during such an intense game to study the lineups or tactics. They focused more on the shots, and often didn't even know the opposing players.
A can of beer sat by Louis's feet. He picked it up and was about to take a swig when the Latina girl beside him caught his eye. An idea came to him, and without a word, he set the beer down, picked up a bottle of soda instead, and took a big drink.
He was the typical American sports fan.

After Ben Sladon disrupted Kentucky University's defense, he cut back on his own shots and made a point of passing to Curry as he moved without the ball.
"Are you a student at Butler University too? I'm Christie. I'm a freshman in law school."
On the next possession, Curry faced tight defense and couldn't get a clean look.

He set down the soda bottle and spoke to the girl beside him as if it were an afterthought:
Kentucky University's fans had been quiet ever since the second half began. The vast sea of sky blue occupying most of the Jones Center hadn't stirred at all, like a pool of dead water.
"Good!"
When Ben Sladon had the ball, Curry stayed on the weak side, drawing defenders with his off-ball movement.
Louis didn't get to daydream for long. The 15-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the second half began.
The Bulldogs had the ball. Curry brought it upcourt, with Drew coming up behind him to set a screen. Louis's nerves, which had just begun to settle, tightened again.
The Latina goddess's eyes widened in surprise:
"Wow, what a coincidence! I'm a freshman too, studying sociology." Louis was thrilled. He felt like his college life had finally taken a turn for the better.

That defensive strategy was soon punished.
Kentucky University focused its defense on Curry, but it still didn't help. Instead, Curry got his teammates involved with his passing, and the Bulldogs scored from all over the floor.
The next time down the court, Kentucky University's No. 21 got past Curry again. But Drew's pressure threw off his shot, and his midrange jumper missed. Campbell secured the rebound.

The Latina goddess's eyes widened in surprise:

Kentucky University's nerves, already stretched to the breaking point, finally snapped after Curry hit two threes in a row. Their morale collapsed.
