Chapter 457: You Guys Don't Defend Against Me?

"Huh?!"

Irving glanced at the crowd below, as if he had heard someone calling his name.

Could he have been recognized?

That shouldn't be possible... Not only was he disguised as an old man, but he was also a yellow-skinned, black-haired old man, looking exactly like a Huaxia person. Even if his own mother were here, she probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.

"Old man, if you can't play, just go home and take care of your grandchildren!"

'Dongdan Irving' had just scored and was now taunting Irving. However, Irving didn't react at all because he didn't understand what was said.

"The fans here are a bit arrogant..."

Wade Dong found it quite amusing, but they had already discussed the plan before coming here. They would let the other team score five baskets first!

Listening to the conversations in the crowd, Wade Dong roughly understood the situation. This group of three included a short guy who was known as 'Dongdan Irving', a red-haired guy who was about 1.9 meters tall and a good three-point shooter, and a big fat guy. The three of them were somewhat famous in the Dongdan basketball courts.

"Old man, take it easy~"

The big fat guy held the ball under the basket, pushed Curry aside, and scored with a layup.

"Swoosh!!!"

"Swoosh!!!"

The short guy performed two more dribbling moves in place, waiting for Irving to get tired before breaking through and scoring with another layup.

The score was now 4:0.

In 3v3 street basketball, it was rare to switch possession after a basket. The team that scored would retain possession.

"Pass the ball~ Pass the ball~"

For the fifth basket, the red-haired guy stood outside the three-point line, loudly reminding his teammates to pass the ball.

The short guy showed off his dribbling skills before passing the ball to the red-haired guy, who caught the ball and immediately shot a three-pointer.

"Swoosh!!!"

The ball went in again.

The red-haired guy boasted, "It's 5:0 now, next group get ready!"

"I thought they were good... but they're just a bunch of old men who can't play basketball."

"They should be in the park or the square, not on the basketball court."

"Their equipment is pretty professional... especially the tallest old man, his shoes have Wade Dong's logo, but I've never seen Wade Dong release this model."

"Then they must be fake shoes!"

"There's nothing to see here, let's go... let's go... let's go..."

After feeling bored, two-thirds of the spectators had already left.

"Last basket!"

The red-haired guy raised a finger, "Make some space for my one-on-one!"

"This young man doesn't know martial arts~"

Wade Dong took a step forward, "You're bullying an old man in his seventies."

"Hahaha..."

The red-haired guy smiled, showing a wide grin, and performed a large shoulder fake.

The ball disappeared from the red-haired guy's hand.

Wade Dong easily stole the ball.

"Oh yeah?!"

The remaining spectators were amazed by the steal. It was clean and efficient!

"Old man, you still got some skills..."

The red-haired guy's face turned red, and he closed in to try and steal the ball back from Wade Dong.

Wade Dong shook his wrist, performing the 'Fairy Pointing the Way' move!

The red-haired guy instinctively turned around... but he didn't see the ball, and the laughter from the crowd made him realize he had been tricked.

He turned back again and rushed to grab the ball.

Wade Dong performed another 'Through the Legs' move, tossing the ball towards the top of the basket.

"Clang!!!"

Irving rushed to the basket and completed an alley-oop dunk.

"Holy crap!!!"

This move shocked the spectators, causing their jaws to drop.

It was rare to see dunks in street basketball, and this was an alley-oop from an old man in his seventies.

The sound of amazement attracted the people who had left back to the court.

What followed was Irving's showtime!

Irving dribbled behind his back while moving, turned around, and had a strong sense of rhythm. He easily shook off 'Dongdan Irving' and scored with a layup!

"Young man, defend seriously~"

Wade Dong stood outside the three-point line, spreading his hands.

"How can an old man in his sixties or seventies make such a move?"

Amidst the exclamations from the crowd, Irving had already scored five consecutive baskets.

"It's 5:5 now."

Wade Dong imitated the red-haired guy, "Next group get ready!"

Up to this point in the game, Curry had been standing outside the three-point line, daydreaming, and it wasn't his turn to perform yet.

The last basket...

Irving continued to show off his fancy dribbling, breaking through and scoring with a reverse layup.

"Next group!"

The red-haired guy and his teammates left the court with embarrassed expressions, muttering, "These three old men are too good!"

...

After defeating the red-haired guy's team, Wade Dong suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.

[Talent Points +5...]

"Oh my, there are five talent points?"

This was an unexpected joy. Which host could refuse the system's talent points?

Wade Dong rarely played in street basketball courts. The last time was last summer at Locke Park, but it was a full-court 5v5 game. He didn't expect that a half-court 3v3 game would also reward five talent points.

The Basketball World Cup was about to start!

At this time, talent points were more than welcome. Recalling the last Olympics when they faced Team M, although they won the game, it was a close call... One mistake could have cost them the victory.

This wasn't because of insufficient talent points, but they had to use them sparingly.

This time, in the Men's Basketball World Cup, if they faced Team M in the finals, Wade Dong planned to use the 'Lucky Potion' right from the start to keep Team M on the ground.

...

The team that had just been defeated couldn't wait to get back on the court!

"Focus on defending the old man in the gray hoodie. He can not only dunk but also dribble well and has good shooting skills!"

"Yeah... The other two old men just follow his lead."

In the previous game, aside from Wade Dong's steal, 'Fairy Pointing the Way', and 'Through the Legs', the rest of the time, it was all Irving's show. This gave their opponents the illusion that only Irving could play.

"I'll defend this old man!"

The tallest player on the opposing team volunteered, but he still felt uneasy, so he reminded his teammates, "Be sure to help defend under the basket!"

The other two players nodded, "We'll stay under the basket and not come out! Anyway, there's no three-second violation."

Wade Dong didn't know the names of these three players, so he decided to call them Little Wang, Little Li, and Little Zhang.

Little Li passed the ball to Little Zhang, who received the ball outside the three-point line and started posting up against Wade Dong. After a spin move, he lost the ball.

"This old man is very good at stealing the ball, be careful!"

The spectators pretended to be basketball experts, constantly reminding the players on the court.

Wade Dong stole the ball and passed it behind his back to Curry.

Curry was two steps away from the three-point line. He raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

"Swoosh!!!"

The ball swished through the net.

Wade Dong passed the ball to Curry, who was in the same position as before, and he shot another three-pointer.

"Swoosh!!!"

"Swoosh!!!"

"Swoosh!!!"

"Swoosh!!!"

In street basketball, if you're two steps away from the three-point line, even if your shooting is accurate, the opponents usually won't defend you.

Curry had been itching to shoot, and he really wanted to ask, "You guys don't defend against me?"
