Li Feng held the ball in the backcourt, slowly crossing the half-court line.
Colin, the point guard for the Pine Eagles, stood at the top of the three-point arc, ready to guard Li Feng closely.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Feng crossed the half-court line, he abruptly pulled up!
The spectators on the court were stunned, and the players were all looking at Li Feng in surprise, not knowing what he was about to do.
Even Curry was filled with questions.
Although they often played logo shot games during practice, in a formal match, such a logo shot was only attempted if time was about to expire.
But the game had just begun, what was Li Feng doing…
Just as everyone was bewildered, Li Feng actually shot the ball!
A logo three-pointer!
Colin was still more than two meters away from Li Feng. He could only watch Li Feng shoot, unable to interfere at all.
Swish!
The basketball traced a beautiful arc and precisely fell into the hoop!
The entire stadium erupted in gasps of amazement, with some fans clutching their heads in disbelief.
Curry was stunned for a moment, then jumped over to bump chests with Li Feng in celebration, laughing uncontrollably!
“Li Feng, you’re something else! That logo shot was incredible!”
The Wild Cats’ players rushed over to high-five Li Feng.
The Pine Eagles players wore expressions of anger, believing Li Feng was toying with them.
Was this how basketball was supposed to be played?
Coach Mike McKillop on the sidelines also shook his head with a smile. He had actually advised Curry and Li Feng before the game not to take long-range threes lightly, as the basketball philosophy was that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.
But he wasn’t rigid. He had given them unlimited shooting freedom, just asking them to be as reasonable as possible.
The Pine Eagles’ offense.
Even though Li Feng had just made a stunning logo three-pointer, the Pine Eagles didn't believe this was the Wild Cats' regular scoring method.
So, the Pine Eagles continued to execute their game plan as usual.
The ball was passed to Aldridge in the paint.
The difference in height between the two teams’ interior players was obvious, with the Pine Eagles holding a significant advantage. As soon as Aldridge received the ball, he drove towards the basket, intending to bully the Wild Cats’ center, Allison.
Allison, at 2.06 meters, not only lacked height but also flexibility.
With a fake, Aldridge drove to the basket, shove aside Allison with his shoulder, and prepared for a powerful dunk with his right hand.
This was a 2.12-meter center, strong and explosive.
If he jumped for a dunk, no one could stop him.
Just as his right hand was about to slam the ball into the hoop, a figure suddenly leaped from behind him, and with a slap!
A volleyball-style block sent the sure-to-go-in shot flying away.
Coincidentally, the basketball hit Aldridge squarely in the face and went out of bounds!
The referee immediately pointed towards the backcourt, signaling a change of possession!
Aldridge was so angry he almost fainted on the spot; it was utterly humiliating.
Not only was his dunk thwarted, but he also lost possession and his face was hit hard!
He turned around and only then did he see that it was Li Feng who had blocked his dunk.
Following the coach’s instructions, Li Feng had excellently completed the defensive task for this possession!
After the massive block, Li Feng roared at the sky, exuding dominance.
The spectators were also startled by Li Feng’s earth-shattering block. After a second of stunned silence, applause erupted!
His teammates also rushed over to bump chests with Li Feng in celebration.
While the logo three-pointer might have had an element of luck, this volleyball block was purely Li Feng’s individual skill.
Coach Mike McKillop on the sidelines nodded vigorously; he was very pleased with Li Feng.
In fact, when he mentioned the defensive task to Li Feng, it was just a casual remark, mainly to ignite Li Feng’s defensive intensity.
He hadn’t expected Li Feng to play such a significant role inside the paint.
Unexpectedly, Li Feng had delivered a satisfactory performance in the first defensive possession!
The Wild Cats were on offense, and Li Feng once again held the ball in the backcourt.
The Pine Eagles dared not be careless. Point guard Colin began full-court defense, but Li Feng easily blew past him with his flashy dribbling.
Even the double-teams of NBA superstars Kobe and Paul couldn't do anything to Li Feng, let alone Colin.
After crossing the half-court line, Li Feng glanced to his left but passed the ball behind his back to Curry on the right.
At this moment, Curry was still more than a meter away from the three-point line.
Although it wasn't as shocking as Li Feng's logo three-pointer, it was still far beyond the Pine Eagles' expectations.
By the time the defenders rushed over, it was too late.
Swish!
Another three-pointer!
The Splash Brothers had started the game with a rain of three-pointers!
6:2!
The entire stadium began to buzz, captivated by the magical performance of Li Feng and Curry.
“Li Feng, I love you!”
“Splash Brothers, you are the best!”
“Let the three-point rain fall, go Li Feng!”
…
The shift in the crowd’s allegiance enraged the Pine Eagles players!
“What Splash Brothers? Just a parlor trick!”
The Pine Eagles players still believed that relying on three-pointers was unreliable, so they launched another attack.
This time, they didn't go inside but passed the ball to the forwards.
Morris received the ball and drove into the paint, intending to take a pull-up jumper.
But Li Feng wouldn't give him a second chance.
Just as Morris reached the peak of his jump, Li Feng leaped from behind and to the side, swatting the ball with his right hand.
The ball was deflected to the side. Morris was about to comfortably shoot, only to find his hands empty, the ball gone!
Curry, with quick hands, immediately snatched the ball and initiated a fast break.
Li Feng also sprinted back, and the two of them, like leopards, charged across the half-court line.
Just as the Pine Eagles reacted and began to retreat, Curry passed the ball to Li Feng, returning the favor!
Receiving Curry’s pass, Li Feng shot another three-pointer!
The spectators stood up, staring at the ball, murmuring, “Will it go in?”
Swish!
It went in!
Three consecutive three-pointers instantly ignited the stadium, and the fans went wild!
Many media outlets broadcasting the game live were also shocked.
Their faces felt hot with embarrassment; the Splash Brothers had delivered a stunning performance that smacked them across the face!
In less than two minutes into the game, the Wild Cats had gone on a 9:2 run.
The Pine Eagles coach, helpless, had to call a timeout.
Otherwise, it might have been a 20-point deficit within ten minutes!
The fans finally realized how terrifying the Splash Brothers were.
The Wild Cats’ previous winning streak wasn’t against weak opponents; they were truly invincible, even against strong teams!
Curry and Li Feng walked off the court, bouncing and hugging their teammates in celebration.
This run had been incredibly exhilarating!
The three-point rain continued, and the atmosphere was far from harmonious!
Mike McKillop was also excited. He had always felt that the Wild Cats were no match for the Pine Eagles.
But today, Li Feng and Curry showed him what scoring explosiveness truly meant!
