Volume One: I Came, I Saw, I Conquered! Chapter 40: The Bulldogs' Tactics
After that shot went in, Curry finally relaxed. When the camera zoomed in on him, he chewed on his mouthguard and smugly bobbed his head, looking rather comical.
Clang!
Donovan nodded. This was what he wanted to see.
Swish! Swish!
Taurian Green stumbled and turned to chase, only to see Curry already streaking away and finishing an easy layup. He could only stop in his tracks.
After making adjustments, Donovan felt much more at ease. Over the next few minutes, Curry acted completely out of character, taking charge of everything and finishing almost every possession himself.
Donovan called a timeout and addressed his players with some frustration:
On the court, Curry shook off Taurian Green and sank another difficult pull-up three, dousing the cheering Florida fans as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over them. The arena fell abruptly silent.
"Go ahead and do your thing, Stephen..." Zhang Yu murmured as he watched Curry move with effortless grace.
But Taurian Green had barely started dribbling when Curry reacted in a flash and stripped the ball from him!
Of those 27 points, Curry had scored 18 all by himself!
Curry slowly retreated to the top of his team's key. Taurian Green dribbled across half court, seething with frustration. He skipped the screen, gestured for his teammates to spread out, and decided to take Curry one-on-one.
Florida kept running its team offense as usual. Each player did his part, like a precision machine following a set program—efficient, accurate, and lethal.
Fifteen minutes had gone by in the first half. Curry had beaten him several times, and now he couldn't take it anymore. He was determined to even the score.

He felt unstoppable!
Clang!
Taurian Green got back to his feet awkwardly. Horford came over and tried to comfort him, and only then did he manage to steady himself.
He handed all the ball-handling duties to Curry, giving him the green light to shoot whenever he wanted.
Donovan nodded. This was what he wanted to see.
"Step up your defense on Curry! Don't give him another easy look. Taurian, stay glued to him. Corey, be ready to help when he drives. If he gets inside, Al and Joakim, you have to rotate over in time. The rest of you can leave your men somewhat open, but you must stop Curry. Understood? I don't want to see him score easily again!"
Curry smugly rolled his shoulders and headed back to his own half.
Curry's midrange jumper bounced off the rim under Noah's pressure. On the sidelines, Zhang Yu discreetly clenched his right fist.
Taurian Green waited and waited for Brewer to come help, but he never did. He glanced back and saw Brewer helplessly shrugging from the corner.
After making adjustments, Donovan felt much more at ease.
Before the game, he had drawn up a strategy that was simple, but difficult to execute.
30:25.
Zhang Yu clearly remembered this year's NCAA final. Although Oden had demolished Horford and Noah with one hand, Florida had still beaten Ohio State with its chemistry and tactics, winning the championship for the second year in a row.
Curry looked completely relaxed. He was fully in the zone, unlike Taurian Green, who was wound tight.
On the court, Curry shook off Taurian Green and sank another difficult pull-up three, dousing the cheering Florida fans as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over them. The arena fell abruptly silent.
Taurian Green instinctively wanted to block the shot, but a jolt of alarm stopped him from jumping.
He handed all the ball-handling duties to Curry, giving him the green light to shoot whenever he wanted.
Zhang Yu knew that the Florida Four Youngsters weren't just more talented than the Bulldogs' players—they were in a different league.
He cursed under his breath and forced himself to focus on guarding Curry one-on-one.
Everyone hurried to say they understood. Taurian Green looked ready to swear an oath.
He felt unstoppable!
But Curry had already shifted his weight. He gathered the ball and drove to the right, gaining half a step.
Clang!
Mike Green had barely taken any shots before, and his touch was cold. The ball bounced off the rim, and Noah outmuscled Drew to secure the rebound.

Donovan didn't want to tell his players that every time Curry scored, it filled him with a creeping sense of unease.
The Bulldogs couldn't match Florida's team offense. Their only hope of winning lay in Curry's performance.
But Curry had already shifted his weight. He gathered the ball and drove to the right, gaining half a step.
He jabbed the marker hard against the tactics board, his tone stern.
Taurian Green stayed tight to Curry's side. Curry took a long stride, then planted his foot hard, passing the ball behind his back into his left hand. Taurian Green reflexively tried to stop, but his momentum carried him forward in a stumble. He nearly tripped and fell.
This time, Taurian Green dutifully passed the ball to Horford. He followed the play, cut into the paint off Noah's screen, took Horford's pass, and slipped around Drew's help defense to score a layup.

Taurian Green waited and waited for Brewer to come help, but he never did. He glanced back and saw Brewer helplessly shrugging from the corner.
"Go ahead and do your thing, Stephen..." Zhang Yu murmured as he watched Curry move with effortless grace.
He felt unstoppable!
Curry dribbled forward once, then passed to Mike Green when Brewer closed in. Mike Green didn't hesitate. He caught the ball and shot, while Brewer couldn't get back in time.
Everyone hurried to say they understood. Taurian Green looked ready to swear an oath.
Zhang Yu clearly remembered this year's NCAA final. Although Oden had demolished Horford and Noah with one hand, Florida had still beaten Ohio State with its chemistry and tactics, winning the championship for the second year in a row.
With a change of pace, Curry easily got past Taurian Green. Brewer remembered the coach's instructions and immediately left Mike Green to help on defense.

This shot went in without a hitch, nothing more than a practice-level attempt. It swished through the net.
Swish!
Zhang Yu knew that the Florida Four Youngsters weren't just more talented than the Bulldogs' players—they were in a different league.
Florida's team offense was as formidable as the Michigan Five Tigers led by Chris Webber in the nineties.
Curry gathered the ball, took his time lining up the basket, and then launched a three.
Swish!
With Florida, Curry shook off Taurian Green and sank another difficult pull-up three, dousing the cheering Florida fans as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over them. The arena fell abruptly silent.

The Bulldogs' players looked at one another. They had never seen their usually gentle coach lose his temper like this.
The basket looked as wide as the ocean to Curry, and Taurian Green's movements seemed to unfold in slow motion. Curry could read them at a glance.

Curry received the inbound pass from AJ Graves and dribbled up the court at an unhurried pace. He stopped on the left wing, two meters behind the three-point line, while Mike Green ran toward the weak-side corner.
