Chapter 244: Dare You Shoot from Midcourt?

This task's punishment was also ridiculous. What did 'soft daka' mean?

Did it mean soft daka on the court or off the court? Soft daka was unacceptable to Wade Dong, no matter where it happened!

He loved drifting!

"Wait a minute..."

Wade Dong suddenly remembered and asked, "Where's my reward for the previous task?"

The system had previously released a task that Wade Dong had almost forgotten, but he had completed it, and the system hadn't given him the reward!

[Sorry, I forgot!]

"Damn it!!!"

How could the system forget something like that? Wade Dong was about to scold it...

[Task canceled, goodbye!]

"You little trash..."

[...]

"Give me a second, or else..."

[Previous task completed: Reward - Prophecy Potion.]

[Prophecy Potion: Shows the scene of the court 24 seconds into the future!]

This time, the system had learned its lesson and not only gave the 'Prophecy Potion' but also explained its effect.

This potion seemed even more amazing than the 'Lucky Potion'!

Showing the scene of the court 24 seconds into the future, wasn't this the 'Great Move' from the anime 'Slam Dunk'? Whether on offense or defense, using the 'Prophecy Potion' would allow Wade Dong to make targeted changes to his next move.

Indeed...

Although the system's tasks were ridiculous, this reward was very impressive.

"Should I continue this task?"

Wade Dong asked with a smile, as he had already scored 34 points in the first half, and scoring 70 points in this game wouldn't be difficult for him.

[Task canceled, goodbye!]

"Are you backing out?"

[Yes.]

"You little trash..."

[...]

After that, no matter how Wade Dong taunted the system, it didn't respond, and Wade Dong smiled as he saw another potion added to his inventory.

He now had five types of potions: 'Lucky Potion', 'Bad Luck Potion', 'Recovery Potion', 'Stamina Potion', and 'Prophecy Potion'.

...

The second half began.

Leading by 13 points and playing at home, the Suns were relaxed.

Coach Gentry filled his thermos with hot water, put it in his pocket, and sat back on the bench. Recently, he hadn't been drinking just goji berries but also some tea.

Anyway... his complexion was getting better and better.

In the paint, Green was still defending Griffin, and with Coach Gentry's encouragement, Green's defense was especially strong in the first play, forcing Griffin to take a difficult shot that missed.

Wade Dong grabbed the rebound and quickly dribbled to the frontcourt.

"Curry!"

Near the three-point line, Wade Dong called out to Curry and then faked a pass with his arm!

Barnes, who was defending Wade Dong, immediately rushed forward.

But Wade Dong kept the ball in his hand, and this exaggerated fake pass was actually a shot.

Swish!!!

Wade Dong made a three-pointer and then looked at Barnes with a smile, "Do you really believe in such an exaggerated fake pass?"

Barnes' face turned cold, "You're too arrogant!"

"Hehe~"

Wade Dong smiled and turned to run back to the backcourt.

Swish!!!

The ball swished through the net behind him.

The score was now 62:46!!!

The Suns led by 16 points.

Paul had the ball and organized the offense. Jordan set a screen for Paul, who dribbled past Curry and took a mid-range shot!

Swish!!!

This shot also went in.

However, Wade Dong's subsequent counterattack took the game away.

Swish!!!

Swish!!!

Continuing his hot shooting touch from the first quarter, Wade Dong made two more three-pointers.

Eleven three-pointers!

Wade Dong only needed to make one more three-pointer to tie the playoff record for most three-pointers made, and if he made two more, he would break the playoff record and tie his own record for most three-pointers made in a game.

...

The score was now 68:48!!!

The difference was widened to 20 points.

Coach Lue called a timeout to disrupt Wade Dong's offensive rhythm.

If Wade Dong kept making three-pointers like this, the game would be over.

Coach Gentry put down his thermos and said, "Tighten up on defense, stop the Clippers' comeback, and increase the lead to more than 30 points. Then, we'll have this game in the bag."

"Go! Go! Go!"

The Suns players cheered each other on and returned to the court.

In terms of lineup, Coach Gentry also made adjustments, replacing McGrady with Tucker, who was assigned to defend Paul. As for Griffin, Green's defense was currently effective.

After the timeout, the game resumed.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The fans in the arena cheered 'Defense' to encourage the Suns.

The Suns were a team that took every game seriously, even during garbage time, so being up by 20 points didn't make them complacent.

Tucker spread his arms wide and entangled Paul.

This aggressive defense made Paul uncomfortable, and he used his dribbling and footwork to create space for a breakthrough.

Even so, when Paul broke through, he still pulled Tucker's arm and then stopped and jumped for a shot!

Swish!!!

The ball swished through the net.

Tucker was a bit disappointed and said to Wade Dong, "Brother Dong, he pulled my arm..."

"Then you should pull his arm too!"

Wade Dong laughed and then dribbled to the frontcourt. He dribbled past Barnes and passed the ball to Curry at the bottom corner of the three-point line.

Curry took a three-pointer, but it missed!

Green fought for the rebound and, seeing Wade Dong open at the three-point line, immediately passed the ball to him.

Swish!!!

The ball swished through the net again.

The score was now 71:50!!!

Then, Tucker's defense forced Paul to miss a shot.

Wade Dong grabbed the defensive rebound and dribbled to the frontcourt. He took a shot from two steps beyond the three-point line.

Swish!!!

He made another one, and Wade Dong had now made 13 three-pointers in this game, breaking the playoff record.

Trailing by 24 points... Paul's three-point attempt missed!

Gortat positioned himself well and grabbed the defensive rebound, allowing Wade Dong to collect it.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

The cheers in the arena grew louder and louder, and if Wade Dong made one more three-pointer, the difference would be 27 points, and Wade Dong would also break the record for most three-pointers made in a game.

At this moment, Barnes taunted Wade Dong, "Dare you shoot from midcourt?!"

"What if I do?"

Wade Dong asked.

"If you shoot from midcourt, I won't defend you!"

"Does it matter if you defend or not?"

"???"

Wade Dong squeezed Barnes' words, but he was the kind of person who couldn't resist a taunt.

He really stood at midcourt and took a shot.

At the same time, Wade Dong also stretched out his left hand and made a 'sei dang' gesture, meaning that everyone should sit quietly and enjoy the show.

Then...

Swish!!!

Wade Dong made a three-pointer, and the ball swished through the net.

The score was now 77:50!!!

The Suns led the Clippers by 27 points.

Coach Lue sighed and called a long timeout, allowing Wade Dong to enjoy the cheers of the fans.

This was MVP night, and Wade Dong had broken the record for most three-pointers made in a game. He deserved the respect of his opponents.
