NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Chapter 363 Technology! McGrady: [Sealed Candy]!

Despite Su Yan's outstanding performance with 21 points in a single quarter, the team still lost.

In the upcoming second quarter's battle between the substitutes, the Lakers will most likely lose again, and the hole they're digging is getting bigger and bigger.

The Knicks... are in grave danger.

"The situation is dire!"

On the high platform of the stadium.

Wang Meng's expression turned somewhat grim. "Su Yan's performance in the first quarter tonight was even better than in Games 3 and 4, but the team still lost points."

If things continue like this, defeat is inevitable.

This isn't about blacklisting, but rather about stating a fact that everyone knows and is deeply worried about.

"Yes."

Even the usually optimistic Coach Zhang, who believed in and raved about Su Yan, had to agree with Wang Meng's point of view this time.

"Su Yan played really well, very well, extremely well."

But ultimately, he can only fulfill his own responsibility and cannot let one person affect the whole team.

No.

Su Yan has already influenced the team, making his players play better.

However... this level of skill seems insufficient, far from enough, for the grand finals stage.

The Lakers' overall roster is too strong.

The Knicks' role players are too weak.

The difference between the extremes.

It seemed to Su Yan that no matter how well he played, it was meaningless.

Ugh... It feels awful to give it your all and still have to watch the game go by!

Rest during the holiday.

The Lakers became more and more confident as the game progressed because... the situation was exactly as they had predicted.

Su Yan's performance was phenomenal.

But he alone isn't enough; he's still just a hair's breadth away from becoming a "superhero"!

On the Knicks' side...

The players all lowered their heads and remained silent. Curry, David Lee, and others did not want to continue saying that they had not played well or were sorry.

This is not a competition.

This is a microcosm of the entire finals.

This is because their ability is insufficient to support them in performing well against the defending champions on the finals stage.

It can't be solved.

At least for this season, there's no way to solve it right now.

They couldn't ask Su Yan to play even better.

That's it.

Led by Curry and David Lee, everyone was in a terrible mood, and their mentality was gradually collapsing.

Even Coach D'Antoni looked helpless.

The weak cannot become good.

The strong cannot become stronger.

What can he do? He is also desperate.

McGrady and Iverson had a relatively positive mindset, though they were also a bit anxious and really wanted to put on a good performance.

Even if it's just one game.

But... he was late in arriving, and there was no sign of him.

"Tracy, I really want to contribute to Su Yan and the Knicks. I've been preparing for most of the season."

Why can't they win a single game?

Iverson was a little annoyed and anxious.

"Hey……"

McGrady also sighed and said helplessly, "We are willing but powerless to force it now."

Try to stay calm.

Even if it doesn't help the team, just prevent the Lakers from pulling away further during the rotation.

That's already very good.

"Too."

Iverson nodded with a furrowed brow, "At least... I can't hold the team back. The rest is up to Su Yan!"

Although this is unfair to him.

But I believe he can become... a "superhero!"

As for Su Yan, he was also somewhat helpless, but he hadn't given up yet; at least... his condition remained hot.

Then there's still a glimmer of hope.

If you're not in good shape yourself, then there's really no chance.

In addition, he will keep an eye on McGrady and Iverson, as long as they are in decent condition, even if they don't have to be in particularly good condition.

He also plans to use [Sealed Candy] to further unleash their potential and get them to contribute more.

soon.

The second quarter is approaching.

A battle between substitutes.

Lamar Odom + Shannon Brown + Jordan Farmar vs. Tracy McGrady + Allen Iverson.

While the "two big shooting guards" seem much stronger, in reality... the Lakers' bench players are even stronger.

"Shh!"

Odom immediately used his height advantage to outmaneuver Iverson, squeezing into the area near the basket and executing a turnaround hook shot.

Steadily advance.

Switch to offense.

Iverson pushed the ball over, controlling it while looking for a good offensive opportunity.

He weaved between his legs, grabbed the ball in his right hand, pushed off the ground, accelerated, and charged forward, with Shannon Brown in the lead.

"Stab!"

Iverson pulled back between his legs during a sudden stop, and Shannon Brown immediately caught up.

Iverson faked a shot at Byton, which set up Shannon Brown, and then followed up with a crossover dribble and a speed boost to get past him.

Skilled ball control and rhythm changes of direction.

Although his speed and explosiveness were far inferior to his peak, he still managed to shake off his opponents and charge in.

However, the reinforcements arrived just in time.

However, this also disrupted the Lakers' defensive formation. Iverson charged into the paint at full speed, drawing the attention of two defenders.

Pass the ball back.

McGrady was found on the right high post, received the ball and pulled up for a shot, but Shannon Brown came up to block it.

However, he was too short.

Or... Tracy McGrady, at 203 cm, is too tall for a guard, and his wingspan is amazing, as is Shannon Brown at 193 cm.

There was absolutely no interference.

All I could do was watch helplessly, thinking to myself, "You're not the McGrady you used to be. You can't make that kind of pull-up jumper."

The idea had barely formed in my mind.

"Shh!"

With a crisp swishing sound, the basketball pierced the net and swished through.

It was just one attack.

No one cares.

Even Su Yan didn't care.

In the very next possession, McGrady received the ball and pushed it towards Odom's defense.

He habitually dribbles behind his back with a series of smooth movements, and the instant he gets the ball in his right hand, he accelerates with a single step on the right wing.

Originally intending to break through, he inexplicably pulled the ball up.

Just as Odom was guarding him closely, he pulled up for a shot.

If this were McGrady in his prime, there wouldn't be any problem.

But now... with his burst of energy and current form insufficient, there's a high probability that his shot will be blocked or disrupted.

"Find the hat!"

Odom snorted and went all out to block the shot.

Although he couldn't block the shot, he definitely interfered with McGrady's shot significantly.

"Rebound!"

Shannon Brown glanced at the basket briefly before heading straight for the rebound.

Available in the next second.

"Shh!"

Hollow hit.

"How could this possibly win?!"

Odom was shocked.

"what?"

Shannon Brown had just run to the basket when he saw the basketball fall into the net and was completely stunned.

"Oh?"

McGrady himself was a little surprised, and smiled slightly, "The feel seems pretty good?!"

"Pretty!"

Iverson, beaming with excitement, rushed over to battle McGrady, yelling, "Tracy, keep playing like this! You're on fire tonight!"

"This situation? It seems... there's potential!"

Sitting on the bench, Su Yan stared intently at McGrady, already itching to use [Obscuring Candy] on him.

But I still plan to observe for a while.

On the field.

McGrady, who seemed to be in hot form, got excited and took the initiative to attack in the next possession.

Another shift in the rhythm behind the scenes.

The moment he grabbed the ball with his left hand, he accelerated and sprinted forward, a quick step, a collision, a turn, and he left Shannon Brown behind.

The right wing charged in.

Facing the defensive blocks from Odom and the substitute center, he grabbed the ball and went for a layup, another reverse layup to dodge the attack.

Reverse strike.

"Shh!"

It goes in.

An incredibly smooth layup... and it's in again.

"Wow~"

The fans in the stands stared wide-eyed, and a commotion erupted.

McGrady's condition... is very strange.

"Hahaha!"

Su Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter, "This is the fiery state we're in! Tonight, let's explode, T-Mac!!!"
