In Colombia.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Luis Zamora returned to the dormitory from the library, turned on his computer, and skillfully bypassed restrictions to check the latest NBA news.

Apart from buying every issue of Basketball Pioneer, he hardly ever reads reports on local portal websites. He didn't trust where they sourced their editors from, as they merely copied reports from U.S. media, and often the translations were inaccurate. Especially Sina, which was only interested in attention-grabbing headlines and had completely messed up Liam's popularity.

Luis Zamora waited for a while, finally managing to bypass the firewall, and opened ESPN's official website to read the latest news.

As he scrolled through, he muttered, "The Warriors have a new owner... Coach Liam secretly acquired the Warriors and became the youngest owner in NBA history... Oh, Coach Liam bought the Warriors... Wait, what?! Coach Liam bought the Warriors!"

Luis's right hand froze on the mouse. Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he clicked on the headline and began to read it carefully.

"Mark Baum is just a figurehead, while Coach Liam is the true controller of Catherine Company... He will still be the head coach of the team next season? Well, of course, he's a championship-winning coach… Ah, I see now! No wonder Curry chose the Warriors over the Knicks, he must have known this all along…"

Luis was filled with astonishment and, at times, spoke to himself in understanding. He immediately opened a chat group and sent a screenshot of the article, typing:

"Big news! Must see! Coach Liam is going to the NBA!"

The chat group exploded:

"Oh shit, oh shit! No way!"

"Dude, calm down. Grass, a plant!!"

"Is this real? Why haven't any local media reported it?"

"Look at the time, genius. This news just dropped, they haven't had time to pick it up yet. This is from ESPN, it's legit!"

"Coach Liam is a legend! He's the first Colombian owner and head coach in the NBA! I hereby declare the Warriors as my new favorite team!"

"I thought it would take him another 10 years to become an NBA assistant coach. I never expected that in just three years, he'd become the owner of the Warriors..."

"You're thinking too small. He coached an NCAA team at 23, won a championship at 24, and now at 26, he's bought an NBA team. I'm betting he'll win an NBA championship before he turns 30!"

Luis smiled as he watched the chat explode with messages. All the stress from working on his paper vanished. From now on, the NBA would not only feature Colombian players but also a Colombian boss and head coach—all in one person!

"Hey, what do you guys think Coach Liam can achieve with the Warriors?" Luis asked.

"I already said, he's winning a championship before he's 30."

"Come on, the Warriors' recent record has been terrible. Let's aim for the Finals at least…"

The chat group continued buzzing with excitement well into the night.

That night, major news portals in Colombia scrambled to report the story.

Before, Liam had been well-known only among die-hard basketball fans, but with the NCAA not being as popular in Colombia, most fans focused on the NBA or even just the Lakers. Only a few hardcore fans like Luis Zamora kept tabs on him and his success with the Bulldogs.

But tonight, nearly all Colombian fans learned about Liam Gonzalez, a 26-year-old who had just acquired the Warriors and would serve as their head coach.

At first, people thought this was some prank by a wealthy, second-generation kid. But then they learned of Liam's real story.

He was born into an ordinary family in Medellin(Antioquia). He completed his college courses by his sophomore year, went to the U.S. to study on a scholarship, and became an assistant coach at Butler University. Later, unexpectedly, he became the interim head coach.

He then made a fortune during the subprime mortgage crisis, accumulating hundreds of millions of dollars in the financial market.

Some fans even posted an article from Basketball Pioneer that detailed Liam's achievements: in the past three years, he had won the American College Basketball League championship twice and become a prominent figure in the U.S., though not well-known in Colombia.

"Is this even possible? It sounds like a fantasy," someone marveled.

He started coaching at 23, won his first championship at 24, won another at 25, and acquired an NBA team at 26. Liam's story seemed too incredible to believe.

Even a fictional novel wouldn't dare be this bold. Which writer would even attempt such a plot without fearing a backlash from readers?

But the facts were undeniable. After an initial mix of confusion, shock, and skepticism, Colombian fans finally accepted the truth. There are always some people in this world with truly unique talents.

After the shock wore off, excitement took over.

Liam Gonzalez was the first Colombian owner and head coach in the NBA.

Overnight, Liam's name was on everyone's lips.

All news related to him became highly sought after.

But because of Liam, the Warriors—a team that had briefly captured the spotlight with their 2007 upset—quickly came back into the public eye.

Online communities dedicated to the Warriors on Baidu and Hupu saw a surge in activity, and Warriors fan groups exploded overnight.

Many people stayed up all night because of Liam Gonzalez.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, American fans were far less surprised.

There were already numerous young billionaires in the U.S.

Even recent examples like Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook in college and quickly became a billionaire, came to mind.

The only backlash Liam faced in the U.S. came from those who criticized his fortune as a result of the subprime mortgage crisis. But in the grand scheme of things, his $1 billion in profit was small compared to the real culprits, the big banks.

On the other hand, the American basketball world was in shock.

People like Presti and Donnie Walsh finally understood the real reason why Curry had so much trust in the Warriors—it was because of Coach Liam. The media had reported countless times about how Liam discovered Curry and helped him succeed. Without Liam, Curry might never have had the chance to play in the NCAA.
