Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the regular season opener.
Davidson College's opponent in the opener is George Washington University.
George Washington University is not strong. Before this, this university had only produced two NBA players.
This season, George Washington University has no players who can make a difference, and it is a completely weak team.
Although the opponent was weak, all members of the Wildcats did not take it lightly.
The Southern League is a minor league, and most of the teams in it are very weak.
The Southern Conference has only one way to reach March Madness, and that's to win the conference tournament.
It is basically impossible to enter the "Crazy Three" by getting a wild card.
Therefore, the Wildcats will take every game in the regular season seriously. If they overturn, it will be really shameless.
Before the game started, in the Wildcats locker room, head coach Mike Lopp was giving chicken soup to the players.
"Boys, cheer up. Our journey this season has begun. If we want to reach the top three, we have to kill the opponents in front of us. Are you confident?"
"Yes!" All members of the Wildcats responded in unison.
"Warriors attack and defeat the invading enemies!"
“The Wildcats must win!”
After boosting morale, McClop took the disciples who had finished their chicken blood, pushed open the locker room door, and walked to the court with their heads held high.
The moment the Wildcats players ran out of the tunnel, deafening cheers and shouts erupted.
Sun Yi waved to the enthusiastic fans and then walked to the bench.
When it was the George Washington University players' turn to take the field, the audience booed.
Sun Yi on the bench looked surprised and confused when he saw this scene.
He knew that home fans sometimes booed visiting team players, but that was something he only saw on TV. It was only through personal experience that he knew how shocking it was.
I have never seen such a scene in any preseason game before.
Curry on the side saw Sun Yi's confused look and explained:
"This is normal. After the start of the regular season, you can hear such enthusiastic boos at home in every subsequent game, no matter who the opponent is."
After explaining, Curry added.
"Sun, you have to be mentally prepared, we will also receive such treatment in the away game."
"Stephen, thank you, I understand." Sun Yi nodded and replied.
After the entrance ceremony, players from both sides came to their respective halves for warm-up activities.
After Sun Yi finished his stretching activities, he performed regular warm-up activities.
Curry, on the other hand, was not so low-key and made a super long three-point shot, which caused waves of exclamations from the fans at the scene.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi's eyes showed full of envy.
"Stephen is so good at making trouble. Like me, I am very low-key and only make a fortune in silence."
Sun Yi admitted that he was annoyed. If he had such shooting ability, he would definitely have more fun than Curry.
Not long after, after the warm-up activities, the players from both sides returned to the bench.
On the bench, Sun Yi was about to make preparations when a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"Ding! The intensity of the host's upcoming competition is lower!"
"Winning will result in 100 training points, failure will result in no reward."
Sun Yi was stunned when he looked at the comprehensive difficulty level of this game assessed by the system in front of him.
Co-authored, the intensity of the regular season is still lower than that of the warm-up games!
Originally, he wanted to gain training points, but it seemed that this was not possible.
"Sun, why are you dazed? It's time to play." Curry patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and reminded him.
"Oh, Stephen, just wait for me, I'll be fine soon."
After Sun Yi finished speaking, he quickly tied up his shoelaces, stood up from the bench, and followed Curry to the court.
During the jump ball session, Dabai Bian took the lead in hitting the basketball and dialing it back, giving the Wildcats the first opportunity to attack.
Curry dribbled to the top of the arc and played a pick-and-roll with Dabai Bian.
With the help of the screen, Curry broke through to the mid-range area on the right side and skillfully stopped for a jump shot.
The opposing center had no time to switch defenses, let alone interfere.
"brush!"
The basketball went hollow into the net, and Curry easily gave the Wildcats the lead.
Ball transition, George Washington University offense.
Sun Yi did not return to defense but stayed, intending to press and consume the opponent's defender's energy.
What he didn't expect was that after the physical confrontation, the opponent's defender made a dribbling error.
With such a good opportunity, Sun Yi would definitely not miss it. He quickly grabbed the ball with his quick eyes and hands, and then rushed to the basket and made an easy layup.
The offense and defense in this round seemed to be a microcosm of the entire game.
After that, Curry played a dominant performance on the offensive end, while Sun Yi played a dominant performance on the defensive end.
Dabai Bian was speechless when he saw this situation.
Co-authored, just the two of you playing without me!
In just a few minutes, the Wildcats went on a 10-0 run against George Washington University.
Yes, GW was scoreless in the opening minutes.
"This is simply a massacre. George Washington University and Davidson College are not on the same level at all. The gap is too big!" the commentator on the scene exclaimed.
Seeing this situation, the head coach of George Washington University had to request a timeout and recall the players to make adjustments.
After returning from the timeout, George Washington University worked hard to score a goal and broke the scoring drought.
Looking back, the Wildcats attacked and Curry quickly responded with a three-pointer.
In the next few rounds, George Washington University's offense was paralyzed again, and it was still unable to guard against the Wildcats' offense, and the point difference gradually widened.
At the end of the first half, the score on the big screen was 26 to 48. The Wildcats led by 22 points entering the second half.
After the intermission, the second half began.
George Washington University still has no improvement on both ends of the offense and defense, and the point difference is getting wider and wider.
In order to save George Washington University's face, McClop replaced Sun Yi and others and replaced them with substitute players.
The head coach of George Washington University looked better upon seeing this, and also made substitution adjustments.
In this way, the subsequent game went very smoothly and soon came to an end.
In the end, Davidson College defeated George Washington University 84-46, making a good start to the regular season.
In terms of statistics, Curry scored 31 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
Sun Yi performed equally well, scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 steals and 2 blocks.
After the game, Sun Yi received a notification from the system that the reward had arrived.
Sun Yi didn't pay attention to the system's rewards at all.
Only 100 training points were awarded, which is not as much as he earned by training for 2 hours.
Moreover, this game was won so easily that Sun Yi felt a little unreal.
If the regular season is at this level, how can we improve our strength? !
Sun Yi made up his mind and couldn't stop practicing with Curry every day. Only by training can he become stronger!
