The score was 30:25.

After this basket, Curry completely relaxed. When the camera focused on him, he chewed his mouthguard and shook his head triumphantly, looking very amusing.

Clang!

Donovan nodded. This was the scene he wanted to see.

Swish! Swish!

Taurean Green stumbled, turned to chase, but saw Curry had already pulled far ahead, easily making a layup. He could only stop.

After making adjustments, he felt much more at ease.

In the following minutes, Curry acted uncharacteristically, taking charge and finishing almost every offensive possession himself.

He called a timeout and said to his players with some dissatisfaction:

On the court, Curry faked out Taurean Green and hit another difficult pull-up three-pointer, pouring a bucket of cold water on the cheering Florida fans. The roar of the crowd suddenly died down.

"Go all out, Stephen..." Zhang Yu murmured, watching Curry's agile movements.

But just as Taurean Green started dribbling, Curry's quick hands snatched the ball away!

And out of these 27 points, Curry alone scored 18!

Curry slowly retreated to the top of his own arc. Taurean Green dribbled the ball to half-court. He was somewhat enraged and, instead of running a pick-and-roll, signaled his teammates to spread out and called for a one-on-one against Curry.

Florida, meanwhile, continued to execute their team offense methodically. Each player performed their role perfectly, like a precision machine operating according to a set program – efficient, accurate, and deadly.

Fifteen minutes into the first half, Curry had gotten past him several times. He couldn't stand it anymore and had to get his own back.

He called a timeout and said to his players with some dissatisfaction:

He felt unstoppable!

Clang!

Taurean Green awkwardly got up. Horford came over and comforted him a couple of times before he could barely compose himself.

He handed all the ball possession to Curry, giving him unlimited shooting freedom.

Donovan nodded. This was the scene he wanted to see.

"Increase the defensive pressure on Curry. We can't let him have such easy shooting opportunities anymore! Taurean, stick to him like glue. When he drives, Corey, pay attention to the help defense. If he breaks through, Al and Joakim must rotate to help defend. Others can sag off a bit, but we must stop Curry! Understand? I don't want to see Curry scoring easily again!"

Curry triumphantly shook his shoulders and retreated to his own half.

Curry's mid-range shot missed the rim under Noah's interference. Zhang Yu, on the sidelines, clenched his right fist in secret.

Taurean Green waited and waited, but Brewer didn't come to help. He glanced back and saw Brewer shrugging helplessly in the corner.

After making adjustments, he felt much more at ease.

Before this game, the strategy he devised was simple, yet difficult.

The score was 30:25.

Zhang Yu clearly remembered that in this year's NCAA finals, although Oden single-handedly dominated Horford and Noah with one hand, Florida still defeated Ohio State with their chemistry and tactics, winning the championship for the second consecutive year.

Before this game, the strategy he devised was simple, yet difficult.

Curry looked very relaxed. He had completely found his rhythm, a stark contrast to the tightly wound Taurean Green.

On the court, Curry faked out Taurean Green and hit another difficult pull-up three-pointer, pouring a bucket of cold water on the cheering Florida fans. The roar of the crowd suddenly died down.

Taurean Green instinctively tried to block, but his heart skipped a beat, and he forcibly suppressed the urge to jump.

He handed all the ball possession to Curry, giving him unlimited shooting freedom.

Zhang Yu knew very well that the talent of the "Florida Four Youngsters" was at least on par with, if not superior to, the Bulldogs' players.

He cursed under his breath and had to focus on guarding Curry one-on-one.

Everyone quickly responded, "Understood." Taurean Green was practically swearing an oath.

He felt unstoppable!

However, his balance was thrown off. Curry gathered the ball and drove to the right, gaining half a step.

Clang!

Mike Green hadn't shot much before, and his touch was a bit cold. This shot bounced off the rim, and Noah secured the rebound, overpowering Drew.

Donovan didn't want to tell his players that he felt a faint sense of worry whenever he saw Curry scoring.

Compared to Florida, the Bulldogs couldn't possibly gain an advantage in team offense. The Bulldogs' only hope of winning lay in Curry's performance.

However, his balance was thrown off. Curry gathered the ball and drove to the right, gaining half a step.

"What are you doing, hanging out with Mike Green?"

He handed all the ball possession to Curry, giving him unlimited shooting freedom.

He forcefully jabbed the marker onto the tactical board, his tone heavy.

Taurean Green stuck close to Curry's side, but Curry took a big step and then abruptly stopped, passing the ball to his left hand from behind. Taurean Green reflexively tried to stop, but his momentum carried him forward, causing him to stumble and nearly fall.

On this possession, Taurean Green dutifully passed the ball to Horford. Following the play, he used Noah's screen to cut into the paint, received Horford's pass, dodged Drew's help defense, and made a layup.

If he could provide an extremely terrifying offensive firepower, then the Bulldogs would still have a sliver of hope to win.

Florida, meanwhile, continued to execute their team offense methodically. Each player performed their role perfectly, like a precision machine operating according to a set program – efficient, accurate, and deadly.

He forcefully jabbed the marker onto the tactical board, his tone heavy.

Donovan couldn't watch anymore. He looked up at the big screen. The score had become 27:23. The Bulldogs were actually leading Florida!

Taurean Green waited and waited, but Brewer didn't come to help. He glanced back and saw Brewer shrugging helplessly in the corner.

"Go all out, Stephen..." Zhang Yu murmured, watching Curry's agile movements.

He felt unstoppable!

Curry took a step forward. After Brewer closed in, he passed the ball to Mike Green, who didn't hesitate and shot immediately. Brewer didn't have time to get back on defense.

Everyone quickly responded, "Understood." Taurean Green was practically swearing an oath.

Zhang Yu clearly remembered that in this year's NCAA finals, although Oden single-handedly dominated Horford and Noah with one hand, Florida still defeated Ohio State with their chemistry and tactics, winning the championship for the second consecutive year.

Florida's team offense was as strong as the Michigan Five Tigers led by Chris Webber in the nineties.

Donovan emphasized the offensive tactics again before the timeout ended, his expression finally calming down.

On the court, Curry faked out Taurean Green and hit another difficult pull-up three-pointer, pouring a bucket of cold water on the cheering Florida fans. The roar of the crowd suddenly died down.

But there was only one basketball on the court, and only one person could score per offensive possession.

Curry received the inbound pass from AJ Graves and dribbled slowly to the frontcourt. He stopped at the 45-degree angle on the left, about two meters from the three-point line, while Mike Green ran towards the weak-side corner.

The basket looked as wide as the ocean in his eyes. Taurean Green's movements seemed to be in slow motion, easily seen through by him.

However, his balance was thrown off. Curry gathered the ball and drove to the right, gaining half a step.

Taurean Green stumbled, turned to chase, but saw Curry had already pulled far ahead, easily making a layup. He could only stop.

Mike Green's three-point percentage this season was 38.6%, and he was very willing to shoot. Brewer couldn't afford to leave him completely open.

Taurean Green stumbled, turned to chase, but saw Curry had already pulled far ahead, easily making a layup. He could only stop.

In his daze, he felt as if he had returned to the day he tried out for Butler.

Florida had been dominating the NCAA for the past two years. He had forgotten when he was last faked out like this.

But there was only one basketball on the court, and only one person could score per offensive possession.

"Increase the defensive pressure on Curry. We can't let him have such easy shooting opportunities anymore! Taurean, stick to him like glue. When he drives, Corey, pay attention to the help defense. If he breaks through, Al and Joakim must rotate to help defend. Others can sag off a bit, but we must stop Curry! Understand? I don't want to see Curry scoring easily again!"

In his daze, he felt as if he had returned to the day he tried out for Butler.

Donovan couldn't watch anymore. He looked up at the big screen. The score had become 27:23. The Bulldogs were actually leading Florida!

After making adjustments, he felt much more at ease.

The score was 30:25.

Taurean Green stumbled, turned to chase, but saw Curry had already pulled far ahead, easily making a layup. He could only stop.

And out of these 27 points, Curry alone scored 18!
