Second quarter.
First, the clash between the bench players.
Iverson and McGrady led the bench. Although both had been ravaged by injuries and had little fighting power left.
However.
Against other bench players, they could still play.
Especially Iverson, who had rested for most of the season due to injury and had been actively recovering and training.
His condition was not bad.
Even so, he played conservatively, not pushing himself to exhaustion in every game as he did before.
Had his desire to win decreased?
No.
It was precisely because of his strong desire to win that he wanted to save his best self for the most crucial moments of the game.
He wanted to win a championship.
He couldn't lead the team to contend for the championship as the primary core, like in 2001.
But his strong desire to win, and the aura of 'I am the best in the world,' made him want to put on a show.
At least to let the entire league know that he wasn't just here to coast, but could also contribute some strength.
This was completely opposite to McGrady.
Su Yan recovered his energy and stamina on the court, watching Iverson and McGrady play.
His heart filled with joy.
"Both are players ruined by injuries, currently suffering from injuries and unable to perform well.
Then.
Both are suitable targets for the use of sealed candy.
So, if I use it in the Playoffs, in some crucial games, when they are in good form, to stimulate their potential.
Wouldn't they be able to transform into'surprise weapons' and catch opponents off guard?!
Excellent."
Thinking of this.
Su Yan nodded in satisfaction.
4-minute rotation.
The two teams played back and forth, and the score difference remained unchanged.
The presence of Iverson and McGrady also guaranteed the viewership of the rotation lineup. The New York Knicks' signing of Iverson was a sure profit.
"Beep beep!"
Cavaliers Head Coach Mike Brown called a timeout.
Both teams' starters returned.
LeBron James dribbled the ball over himself. Seeing Su Yan follow him again, he narrowed his eyes, "My apologies, let's keep it brief. Now... winning is key."
Antawn Jamison came over to set a screen.
LeBron James mismatched against David Lee, accelerated during the confrontation, and forcefully blew past David Lee, showing no mercy.
"The paint is my territory!"
Tyson Chandler roared as he stepped up, extending his long arms, ready to block LeBron James at any moment.
LeBron James didn't even glance at him, charging in, then executed a smooth running pocket pass.
Tyson Chandler jumped.
The ball went to O'Neal under the basket on the other side. He caught the ball, took off like a dry land spring onion, and slammed it down with both hands.
The rim was shaking.
This wasn't just about sheer power; it was also because... O'Neal at that moment was truly terrifying.
In the next possession.
LeBron James drove hard against Wilson Chandler, not just blowing past him; the two also muscled their way into the paint together, with Wilson Chandler not losing his position at all.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Both jumped simultaneously.
Wilson Chandler was already descending, but LeBron James was still rising.
"What kind of hang time is this?"
Wilson Chandler was stunned.
The next second.
"Boom!"
Amidst the rim's wail, LeBron James posterized him!
It wasn't that Wilson Chandler defended poorly, but... LeBron James' talent was simply off the charts, a pure talent crushing.
Immediately after.
On the defensive end, he delivered a massive face-to-face block, telling the green Stephen Curry that his paint was... a no-fly zone.
One pass, one offense, one block.
The hexagonal warrior LeBron James perfectly displayed his versatility, giving the New York Knicks players... a massive headache.
Offense and defense switched.
Su Yan also avoided LeBron James, minimizing physical exertion, and mismatched against Anthony Parker.
"Bang!"
With just one confrontation.
He sent him flying several meters, then took a step back, came to the Three-point Shot line, and raised his hand for a Three-point Shot.
"Hah!"
Antoine Jamison roared as he rushed out to block immediately, his momentum fierce, but he was still too slow.
No.
Su Yan's shot was too fast.
Antoine Jamison's long arm became his aiming sight.
Like a shooting star with white feathers, a fierce arrow piercing the heart.
"Swish!"
The cold arrow Three-point Shot hit.
He then went after Mo Williams, who, after a series of flashy dribbles, suddenly accelerated and shook off Su Yan.
But only for a second.
With his speed enhanced by Divine Speed Lv1, he easily caught up to Mo Williams the next second.
"Bang!"
Mo Williams didn't panic, confronting him again, then used the momentum to turn around, leaving Su Yan behind.
He took three steps to attack the basket.
O'Neal created space for him under the basket. This was an excellent layup opportunity; was he going to score on Su Yan one-on-one?!
It seemed so.
But just as he made a low layup, and the ball was about to touch the backboard.
"Bang!"
Su Yan delivered a chase-down pin block to Mo Williams!
Even if you get past me, I'll still block you.
This was the terrifying jumping ability Su Yan possessed, enhanced by Spring Man Lv3.
Of course.
Mo Williams' physique was not on the same level as Su Yan's, which was also why he was still blocked despite shaking off Su Yan.
Subsequently.
Antoine Jamison used his individual skill to shake off David Lee, only to encounter Su Yan's help defense in the low post on the right side.
Just as he was about to attack.
"Step!"
Su Yan stepped forward to apply defensive pressure.
Antoine Jamison collided several times, like hitting a wall, but Su Yan didn't budge.
"Is this strength right?"
Antoine Jamison doubted himself.
He remained calm, then... feigned a confrontation, and attempted another spin to get past Su Yan.
However.
This move was completely seen through.
Su Yan pressed further to apply pressure, forcing Antoine Jamison to stop. He immediately thought about passing the ball out.
In an instant.
There was no good opportunity. He also lacked instant passing judgment. Su Yan's gaze sharpened, and he quickly and decisively reached out, completing a steal against Antoine Jamison.
He then pounced on the ball, snatching it.
He passed to Stephen Curry in the frontcourt. LeBron James chased him up the court, while Su Yan and Anthony Parker also rushed forward from behind.
The two were originally in sync.
However... with Divine Speed Lv1, Su Yan quickly shook off Anthony Parker.
Stephen Curry and LeBron James charged into the paint together, then Stephen Curry made a long pass, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, back to Su Yan.
LeBron James knew the pass was coming, but he couldn't do anything.
One step inside the free-throw line, Su Yan caught the ball, leaped up, descended like a divine soldier, and slammed it down with a powerful dunk!
Right under LeBron James' nose.
Three-point Shot, Blocking, steal.
Su Yan also displayed his offensive and defensive capabilities as a Top-tier 3&D Player.
Three-point Shot and versatility.
Su Yan and LeBron James were both using their own methods to continuously help their teams score and lead them to victory.
The game remained tight.
The fierce battle continued until the last minute of the second quarter.
[New York Knicks 56:58 Cavaliers].
Stephen Curry dribbled the ball over, then handed it off to Su Yan at the top of the arc, setting a screen for him.
Shaking off Antoine Jamison, Su Yan charged into the right wing. Mo Williams quickly came over to help, determined not to let Su Yan get a head start.
Otherwise.
He would be unstoppable, just like LeBron James.
However... his help defense was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly useless. He himself was as fragile as paper.
Breaking with a touch.
With just one simple exertion of force in the confrontation, Mo Williams' body uncontrollably retreated backward.
"WTF?!"
Mo Williams was stunned.
Su Yan didn't even look at him, heading straight for the basket.
"Don't panic, I'm still here!"
The Big Shark O'Neal, with his loose teeth, roared as he came over to help, "ten million vote king?!"
Let me see.
Are you really just a stat-padder like Yao Ming?!!!
