"He's really accurate with his three-pointers. You guys can't let him shoot!" Curry's thoughts were read by Wade Dong, who decided to speak up for him.
The onlookers realized that among the three elderly gentlemen, two were rather quiet, and all the talking was done by the tallest one.
Little Wang helplessly said, "Grandpa, he's shooting from two steps beyond the three-point line. We can't defend that!"
"Sigh..."
Wade Dong shook his head in exasperation.
"Swish!"
Curry sank his sixth super long-range three-pointer.
"Amazing! Even better than professional players..."
"Grandpa, did you play professionally when you were younger?"
"I think Grandpa could enter the NBA draft!"
The crowd below was filled with exclamations of surprise. Although Curry couldn't understand them, he could tell they were praising him, so he danced awkwardly, shrugging his shoulders.
"Next group!"
Little Wang, Little Zhang, and Little Li reluctantly left the court... They had been playing basketball for three or four years, and never in their wildest dreams did they imagine they would be dominated by three elderly gentlemen.
"Bro, come to Dongdan quickly! There are three incredibly skilled old grandpas here!"
"Dongdan is being crushed! Come quick!"
"Hurry! Hurry! There's a surprise at Dongdan!"
The spectators on the sidelines were also notifying their basketball friends to come to the Dongdan court.
The red-haired guy, the big fat guy, and the short guy who had just left the court were not content. As soon as they were defeated, they returned to the court.
"Hmph..."
Wade Dong didn't refuse.
The system automatically considered this a match, and winning would earn him 5 talent points. Even if they played back-to-back against the same team, it would still be 5 talent points. He wondered if this half-court game would count.
If it did, Wade Dong wouldn't mind exploiting this bug.
"Fatso, give the grandpas some resistance!"
Some spectators started to cheer, as many of them were familiar with the red-haired guy and his friends.
These three often dominated the Dongdan court, playing for an entire afternoon without giving others a chance, no matter how many teams were waiting.
The red-haired guy said, "We'll play physically against the grandpas. They're so old, they can't match our energy. Fatso, you just stay under the basket."
"Red, dunk on the grandpa!"
Someone from the sidelines cheered them on.
Wade Dong smiled and said, "Young man, isn't it bullying to play physically against the grandpas?"
"Grandpa, your shooting and dribbling are too good!"
The red-haired guy was straightforward, admitting, "We have no chance if we don't play physically."
"So, you think you have a chance if you play physically?"
Wade Dong muttered.
As the fat guy received the ball under the basket, he used his big elbows to clear a path. This move caught Irving off guard, but he quickly dodged and picked the ball from the fat guy's hands.
Irving passed the ball without looking! It landed in Wade Dong's hands!
"Grandpa, show us a move!"
Amidst the cheers from the sidelines, Wade Dong dribbled and took off in one step, soaring through the air for a powerful dunk!
"Holy sh*t!"
In an instant, many people rushed onto the court.
This dunk! It was absolutely professional... One might even say that it was a dunk that most professional players would struggle to pull off with such flair.
"What's so exciting about that?"
Curry muttered to himself, "I can do that kind of dunk too~"
The red-haired guy and his friends were stunned. They finally realized the gap in their skills.
The red-haired guy said, "Grandpa, you're wearing makeup, right? Your physical condition doesn't look like someone in their sixties or seventies. With this skill, you could easily play in the CBA. I don't believe you're already 70 years old."
"Hehe~"
Wade Dong just smiled and waved at the red-haired guy, "Let's continue~"
Wade Dong was quite confident in their disguises. They were done by the top disguise artist in the country, who had transformed their faces, necks, and hands, making it impossible to see their original features. It was like they had completely new faces.
"6:0!!!"
Once again, they defeated the red-haired guy's team.
...
[+5 Talent Points...]
The system's voice sounded again.
"Damn, it really works?"
Suddenly gaining 5 more talent points made Wade Dong feel unexpectedly delighted.
This system had quite a few bugs. Unfortunately, he had discovered them a bit late. If he had found out earlier, he could have invited five people to play at the basketball court for two days, and the talent points earned would have been so much more comfortable.
[Opponents at the basketball court must participate voluntarily for talent points to be earned.]
It seemed like the system had also realized the bug and was trying to compensate for it.
But this compensation was terrible! And they couldn't force anyone to play.
Wade Dong loved forcing people to do things...
...
No one on the sidelines dared to step onto the court.
"Anyone else? Anyone? Anyone?"
Wade Dong asked three times in a row, and everyone on the sidelines shook their heads, not forgetting to give him a thumbs-up, "Grandpa, you're already invincible!"
"You're not even from this planet!"
"We admit defeat, Grandpa. Please give us another dunk performance."
"From today onwards, my idol is not Wade Dong, but this old grandpa on the court!"
A group of people flattered Wade Dong and his friends, but no one dared to step up!
At this moment, a commotion arose from the sidelines, "Cao Zhen is here! And Yang Yan, Liu Wei! This is going to be good..."
The crowd parted to make way.
Three muscular young men walked towards them with basketballs in their arms.
...
"Cao Zhen is the starting point guard at Yanjing University, and he's very skilled!"
"Yang Yan played in the CBA, and Liu Wei is also very capable. They might be able to beat these three grandpas as a team."
"This is getting interesting..."
"I heard that these three guys only show up at Dongdan around sunset."
"Their defeated opponents have to walk around Houhai."
"I also heard... Every time these three appear, their opponents end up crying as they leave the court."
"They're like gods at Dongdan, and Liu Wei even claims to be the second-best player in Yanjing after Wade Dong."
"So arrogant?"
...
Wade Dong vaguely remembered Cao Zhen as a kid who was very passionate about basketball. When Cao Zhen entered Yanjing University, it was Wade Dong's final year there. Cao Zhen became a bench player in his freshman year and was a decent player.
"Grandpa! Dare you play a game with us?"
Cao Zhen and his friends stepped onto the court, and Liu Wei tossed the ball into Wade Dong's arms.
"Sure, we can play as many games as you want~"
Wade Dong smiled and caught the basketball. Who could refuse such an easy opportunity to earn talent points?
Liu Wei said, "Then let's decide who gets the first possession with a free throw."
"No need."
Wade Dong waved his hand, "We're older, so we'll take the first possession."
Liu Wei: (╬ ̄皿 ̄)
"Hahaha..."
The crowd burst into laughter. When Wade Dong waved his hand, they thought he was going to give up possession, but they never expected him to say something like that.
Li Jiajia, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but find it amusing.
Wade Dong + Irving + Curry, this was already bullying. They wouldn't even let the other team have the ball.
