More Courageous as the Battle Goes On?!
Is this a hidden buff of Invigorating Armor Lv1?
He just felt not tired; whether it was truly 'More Courageous as the Battle Goes On' was still unclear, but at least he could be sure it had little to do with eating oysters or kidneys.
Just in time... there's a game against the Hawks tonight.
A strong team, fourth in the Eastern Conference, with Josh Smith and Al Horford, both defensive stalwarts.
And another player Su Yan dislikes, one of the few in the league: Zaza Pachulia.
Their strength is somewhat formidable.
Su Yan, who had been fighting intensely for two consecutive nights, should have been tired. This was a good chance to see if he could maintain full, or even overflowing, energy against such a strong team.
If so.
Then it would be... More Courageous as the Battle Goes On!
The ability of Invigorating Armor Lv1 would be absolutely amazing!!!
...6 PM.
The New York Knicks players changed their clothes and shoes in the locker room, preparing to warm up on the court.
They were scheduled to play the Hawks at 8 PM.
"Sigh..."
Curry sighed while changing his shoes, "New Year's Day is coming soon, and Mengmeng's concert is about to start.
But I still haven't bought any inner-circle tickets.
I can't even buy them at double the price; in fact... they're priceless!"
"You like Mengmeng?"
Su Yan asked.
Curry shrugged, "I'm a fan of her looks, not a crazy fan, but... my girlfriend Ayesha, she really likes Mengmeng.
She wants to go.
But she's been trying for a long time and hasn't managed to get tickets.
Although we can buy tickets for some seats further back through 'scalpers,' the experience would definitely be worse.
I hope Ayesha can watch from the front rows."
Su Yan stroked his chin, saying nothing, but silently noted it down to ask Mengmeng later.
Oh, right.
Su Yan could just ask Mengmeng herself, who was holding the concert, if she could get two more tickets. It shouldn't be a big problem.
A little later.
Su Yan patted Curry and smiled, "This can't be rushed. Keep an eye out; maybe someone will cancel their tickets.
Let's go.
First, we train and play. Tonight's opponent is the Hawks, a tough team!"
"I know."
Curry nodded.
He just hoped Ayesha could sit in the front row for a better experience at Mengmeng's concert; if not, they'd just have to sit further back.
They would definitely go.
For now... the game.
If the New York Knicks, with their 19-game winning streak, could beat the Hawks, they would tie the Milwaukee Bucks for the third-longest winning streak in history with 20 consecutive wins.
Another milestone night.
The New York Knicks hoped for a happy ending!
7:30 PM.
Madison Square Garden was packed, with only half an hour left until the main game.
Su Yan looked across, scanning the Hawks players warming up, his gaze falling on Zha Zha.
"Tripping dog!"
Su Yan blurted out.
Zaza Pachulia's playing style was not only dirty but he also loved to trip players to quickly ruin his opponents.
This was truly disgusting.
A player on the same level as Bogut.
Just looking at him was annoying.
Su Yan glared at him with extreme disgust, "Scum Dog, I hope you don't provoke me, otherwise... I'll ruin you first!"
[Ding!]
The sound fell.
The system's prompt sounded.
[Permanent mission triggered: dog beating mission. The system will detect the playing style of every player on the court.
Once a player with a malicious playing style is detected.
The dog beating mission will be triggered. If the host knocks him down, shakes him off, dunks over him, rides him, blocks him with a blood cap, and other humiliating offensive and defensive actions, all will explode with gold coins.
The amount depends on the degree of humiliation!]
[A player with a malicious playing style detected in this game: Zaza Pachulia, dog beating mission triggered!
host, please train him to your heart's content!]
Oh?
Abusing Zaza can also earn money?
If you put it that way, I'm suddenly interested.
Su Yan already detested Zaza, and now he could earn money just by abusing him, so why not!
Then, abuse the Scum Dog to death!
Soon.
Warm-ups ended, and both teams' starters took the court; the main game was about to begin!
New York Knicks Starters: Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: McGrady, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.
Atlanta Hawks Starters: Point Guard: Mike Bibby, Shooting Guard: Joe Johnson, Small Forward: Marvin Williams, Power Forward: Josh Smith, Center: Al Horford.
Su Yan saw that Zha Zha wasn't starting and immediately felt a bit regretful.
"Jump ball!"
The jump ball between Tyson and Horford.
Horford had an excellent basketball IQ and averaged 10.1 rebounds, but unfortunately, he was only 208 centimeters tall.
He had no advantage in the jump ball.
Tyson was a step quicker, tipping the ball and winning the first offensive possession for the New York Knicks.
David Lee grabbed the rebound and passed it to Curry, who advanced to the right arc, one step beyond the Three-point Shot line.
Seeing that Mike Bibby hadn't caught up.
This was... an opportunity shot.
Curry didn't hesitate, raising his hand for a Three-point Shot that swished through the net!
[New York Knicks 3:0 Hawks].
Horford inbounded the ball to Mike Bibby, who dribbled past half-court and just reached the right arc.
"Beep! Beep!"
Coach Mike Woodson frantically called a timeout.
"WHY?"
Mike Bibby, who was already planning to drive past Curry, was surprised, then saw the Team Doctor rush onto the court from the bench.
Mike Bibby turned around and saw Horford on the ground, clutching his left ankle, looking very pained.
"What happened?!"
Mike Bibby was confused.
He immediately ran to Horford with his teammates, asking what had just happened.
On the big screen.
The director also helpfully switched cameras to see why Horford had fallen.
In slow motion.
Everyone could clearly see that Horford, without any contact with anyone, twisted his ankle while walking and fell to the ground.
Yes.
He stumbled on flat ground, sprained his ankle, and then limped off the court with the help of staff.
Who could he complain to about this?
However... this kind of ankle sprain, not caused by 'tripping,' usually isn't serious with shoe protection, and resting for one game should be enough.
Perhaps.
Horford, after a short adjustment, would soon return.
Currently.
With Horford off the court, Coach Woodson had no choice but to substitute Zaza Pachulia.
WTF?
Su Yan looked at the Scum Dog entering the game, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth: "Is this heaven helping me?
Excellent!"
The game continued.
Mike Bibby controlled the ball, drove to the right wing, then passed to Josh Smith cutting from the left.
Drawing the defense.
He passed it out again to "Iso Joe" Joe Johnson at the left high post, who took one step to accelerate, then a sudden stop.
"Swish~"
He shot a jump shot over McGrady's defense.
And made it steadily.
As the Hawks' primary scoring core, Joe Johnson's individual scoring ability was unquestionable.
Transition offense.
Curry brought the ball up, then handed it off to Su Yan. David Lee and Tyson, the twin towers, came up to screen.
Under the double screen.
Su Yan, at the right arc, was mismatched against Zaza Pachulia, who had switched onto him.
This was exactly the matchu
p Su Yan wanted!!!
