Chapter 23: Wildcats vs Sun Devils (Eurostep)

Steph Curry's back.

11:37 left in the second half. The crowd saw him step back on the floor—and you could feel the energy shift.

Four fouls deep, on a tightrope, but Coach McKillop didn't have a choice. Win or lose, it was ride or die with Steph.

Sun Devils acting coa...

"Steph picked up his fourth foul! Damn it," Jennings muttered, looking crushed on the Wildcats' bench.

Not even five minutes into the second half and the Sun Devils had pulled off what felt like a power move. The heart of the Wildcats—Southern scoring king Stephen Curry—was heading to t...

Chapter 21: Wildcats vs Sun Devils (First half over)

At the Oklahoma City Thunder training facility, Kevin Durant was locked in. Another three-pointer.

Swish.

Sam Presti watched, nodding. "Listen, Kevin, if you keep this up, I have no doubt—you're gonna be a superstar."

Durant wiped the sweat from his forehead, barely a...

Chapter 20: Wildcats vs Sun Devils (Bounce back)

Stephen Curry brought the ball up, eyes scanning the defense. Arizona State's Johnson was glued to him, playing tight, physical defense. No space. No air.

Curry didn't force it. He handed the ball off to McMillan, cut through the lane, circled back, and—boom—right back to him.

"Who's leading us to victory over the Arizona Wildcats?"

James Harden!

"Who's dropping 30 points a night, carrying the team on his back?"

James Harden!

"And who's gonna take us to the championship—March Madness, here we come?"

Chapter 18: Travelling to Phoenix

Davidson's winning streak hit a pause—not because they lost, but because the Southern League's first half and second half had a huge talent gap.

To keep his guys in shape, Coach McKillop scheduled a scrimmage with a team from another league. The opponent? Arizona State from the Pac-10. An...

"Let's catch up again, Lin! How about it? You like my report?" Javier Stanford grinned as he shook Lin Yi's hand.

Ignorance isn't the worst thing. Arrogance is.

Wu Xia lei's lips parted slightly, her face frozen in shock, and the pen in her hand was barely steady.

“As long as the Wildcats get this stop, they’re going to the Final Four!” Barkley’s fired up now—probably because these kids are going off. And let’s be honest, Barkley’s never been a fan of North Carolina. He’d love to see them get knocked out by Davidson.

Chapter 75: Wildcats vs Tar Heels 6

North Carolina’s defense? Suffocating.

Lin Yi had to pull out everything from his bag. He knew Davidson couldn’t go toe-to-toe on defense, not like UNC. So the only way to keep up? Just outscore them.

For nearly eight straight minutes, Lin Yi cooked. UNC players stared at...

Although the gap on the scoreboard hadn’t widened much, the Wildcats were beginning to lose momentum.

Maybe that’s why North Carolina’s coach, Roy Williams, still hadn’t called a timeout again.

Ever since Lin Yi came to the U.S., he had a simple goal in mind — just get drafted by one NBA team in 2009. Honestly? He’s already blown past that goal.

Back from the halftime break, Syracuse came out swinging.

They cranked up the defensive intensity right away.
