Su Yi stepped to the free throw line and the whole audience fell silent.

He steadily made all free throws. As a shooter, Su Yi shot with confidence.

It was the Sun Devils' turn to take control of the ball, and the stadium continued to be noisy.

I have to admit that the fans at Belk Arena are enthusiastic. The players present are like heroes on campus, with huge posters of them all around.

This surging sound gave the Sun Devils players a headache.

Every time Clayden Woods holds the ball, there are bursts of boos and whistles in the arena.

Clayden Woods was pressed hard by Su Yi's long arm and could not move at all. His poor dribbling might be broken by Su Yi if he dribbled the ball too much.

After two hardships, he no longer dared to be so arrogant. When he saw power forward Jeff Ayers in the inside position, he wanted to penetrate the ball.

Before Jeff Ayers could react, Curry suddenly came from behind and intercepted the ball in the air.

Curry, as the team's steal leader, had long seen through their intentions.

Su Yi ran forward to the frontcourt as soon as Curry touched the ball. Clayden Woods was reluctant when he saw that the ball was intercepted, but he could only return to the backcourt to defend Su Yi.

Curry made a long throw and hit the frontcourt.

Su Yi took the basketball steadily and found that it was Clayden Woods who was 1v1 with him again, which instantly boosted his confidence a lot.

Seeing that Su Yi had another chance to play Clayton Woods in singles, the fans at the scene became interested again.

Clayden Woods had no momentum at all in the thunderous atmosphere of Belk Arena. Now he was a little frightened when he met Su Yi.

He stayed at the basket, concentrated his attention, and waited for Su Yi to break through and layup with the ball to block the shot.

Su Yi smiled and shook his head when he saw him panicking but pretending to be calm, and then accelerated to break through to the inside.

Clayden Woods stared at Su Yi's movements with wide eyes. Should he go left, right, or shoot?

The moment Su Yi was approaching Clayden Woods, he handed the ball to Clayden Woods' chest with his left hand.

Clayden Woods was stunned for half a second, then stretched out his big hand to take the shot.

However, Su Yi suddenly took the ball back and successfully made a layup with his right hand.

It was almost a professional-amateur stunt, and the Belk Arena suddenly erupted into barbell-like laughter.

Su Yi just retreated lightly to defend himself.

The core of the Sun Devils' pre-game tactics was all about Curry, but Su Yi came out halfway and completely disrupted their rhythm.

They paid little attention to Su Yi's performance in previous games.

So after another round of embarrassing shots, I had no choice but to ask for a timeout amid the overwhelming cheers.

There were five minutes left in the first half, and the score had reached 21:11.

Among these 11 points, 9 points were scored entirely due to Harden's personal ability.

After returning to the field, the Sun Devils rearranged their tactics and paid enough attention to Su Yi.

And Clayden Woods just now has also been replaced.

Current lineup:

Wildcats: Stephen Curry (PG), Aaron Bond (SG), Su Yi (SF), Andrew Lovedale (PG), Ben Arison (C)

Sun Devils: Jamal McMillan (PG), James Harden (SG), Tyler Roode (SF), Jeff Ayers (PF), Eric Boateng (C)

With a sharp whistle, the game continued to start.

The opponent's newly replaced small forward Tyler Rhodes has no scoring task and is responsible for deathly entangling Su Yi on defense.

Su Yi relied on small forward Tyler Rhodes to try to attack, but found that power forward Jeff Ayers also came to help defend. This time it was no longer possible to play alone as easily as before.

After all, the head coach of the Sun Devils, Herb Sendek, has already laid out tactics to restrict Su Yi to death. Only in this way can the momentum of Belk Arena be restrained.

Su Yi glanced around with his peripheral vision, found Curry's figure outside the three-point line, and threw the ball directly.

Curry stepped on the beat, caught the ball one step away from the three-point line, and made a direct shot.

The elementary school student beat his chest excitedly. After all, he was finally released from the restriction of the opponent. This was his first comfortable three-pointer in the opening game.

Curry and Su Yi collided in the air to celebrate.

After returning to defense, Harden held the ball and hit Wildcats shooting guard Aaron Bond on the perimeter.

Harden changed directions wildly from left to right, and Allen Bond had to take a step to prevent Harden from breaking through.

Before he was ready to defend, Harden decisively stepped back and shot a three-pointer.

Basketball is easily hit when no one is guarding it.

As the boss of the Sun Devils, Harden also gave Curry an Answer Ball and clapped his hands hard to cheer up his teammates.

The Sun Devils players finally regained some of their mentality.

Su Yi found that his physical fitness had begun to decline.

Curry attacked with the ball, and Sun Devils point guard Jamal McMillan pressed hard.

Their strategy is very simple, that is, they use sudden shots but not shots, because they have a height advantage inside and can cover up defense and rush for rebounds, but letting Curry open for shots is equivalent to giving away points.

Curry changed back and used his speed to eat up the opponent's defender, and made a difficult throw before the opponent's inside defense came up.

The basketball stumbled and hit.

Curry purely used his own personal ability to play this star ball.

At this moment, Su Yi clearly felt that his physical fitness was declining. Facing the newly replaced Tyler Rhodes who was vigorous and strangled him, the difficulty of singles became much more difficult.

In this game, Harden faced the defense of the Wildcats' two shooting guards, breaking through, shooting, and drawing fouls.

So far, he has made four out of four shots, has not missed a single shot, and his hand is at its peak.

On the Wildcats side, Curry and Su Yi also cooperated.

The cheers in the Belk Arena were thunderous, the score increased alternately, and both sides returned to their normal feel and rhythm.

With 2 minutes left in the first half, the Wildcats led the Sun Devils by 9 points, 38:29.

Coach McKillop replaced Su Yi and asked him to rest for the second half of the game.

The game continues with Curry attacking with the ball.

However, as soon as he received the basketball, James Harden and Aaron Bond came forward fiercely.

Curry couldn't find a chance to take a shot, so he distributed the ball to Andrew Lovedale inside.

Post-up play is not Andrew Lovedale's strong point. He couldn't take advantage of Jeff Ayers in one-on-one play, so he could only force the shot by leaning back, resulting in a poor basketball performance.

After Harden got the basketball, he dribbled the ball from the outside and directed his teammates to stand in their positions.

Jeff Ayers stepped forward to cover, and Harden took advantage of the opportunity and passed small guard Aaron Bond in one step.

Wildcats power forward Andrew Lovedale comes to cover Harden.

As a result, Harden forced his way past Lovedale and scored an easy layup.

Harden's strong body didn't suffer at all even against the Wildcats' inside line.
Chapter completed!
