Super Strength Talent: 99!!!
Su Xi's strength reached an unprecedented level. It was nothing short of terrifying.
At his current weight of 94 kilograms, he could now go toe-to-toe with interior players who outweighed him by 20 kilograms and still hold his own.
It was an unbelievable feat.
Although he still couldn't compare to behemoth centers like O'Neal and Yao Ming, he was already unmatched on the perimeter.
A duck is the first to know when the river warms in spring.
And for the Lakers, that duck was none other than Gary Payton, who had just subbed back into the game.
As Su Xi's defensive mentor, Payton's smothering defense had earned him the illustrious nickname "The Glove."
But as the saying goes, youth will be served.
After Kobe turned and drained a difficult jumper, Payton shifted his focus to Su Xi. Answering Phil Jackson's call, he was determined to get a stop on this possession.
He gathered his strength, ready to give Su Xi a little 'teacher's shock'.
