Chapter 175 Break! Block! Dunk! Defeating the Big Three!
Chapter 175 Break! Block! Dunk! Defeating the Big Three!
For a time, Pierce was unable to play.
So, pass the ball?
No.
No.
At this critical juncture, we can't just keep passing the ball; we need to play tougher, at least... we can't back down on the first matchup.
"boom!"
Shoulders + head.
Pierce fought back with all his might once again, forcefully pushing Su Yan away to give himself a sliver of space.
The ball leaps into the air.
A forced fadeaway jump shot, extremely difficult.
Su Yan missed the block, but the basketball went way off course, hitting the top edge of the backboard.
rebound?!
Garnett leaped high, his long arms protecting the backboard, and then took a step back, close to the basket.
The iron-blooded jump shot comes again.
David Lee had no problem following along, but he really didn't know what to do.
"Shh!"
hit.
A 5-point difference.
Su Yan pushed the ball over, and just past the halfway point, Pierce and Ray Allen charged over again.
They are completely inhuman.
"Wow!"
Su Yan passed the ball to Curry, but without stopping, he made a quick off-ball run, heading straight for the basket, and then made a series of back-and-forth runs to get an open cut opportunity.
Curry?
He passed the ball, but it wasn't precise enough.
Su Yan barely managed to catch the ball by bending low, then attacked the basket, but was interfered with by Garnett and failed to score.
Switch to offense.
Rondo received the ball and charged forward quickly. Pierce was frantically calling for the ball at the top of the left wing, wanting to score another goal against Su Yan.
Ray Allen also had a chance at the top of the right arc.
Rondo noticed the two players, but... he didn't rush to attack; instead, he immediately drove to the basket himself.
After further drawing the defense away.
A back pass bounced off the ground and found Ray Allen at the top of the right arc.
"really!"
Su Yan narrowed his eyes. Between Pierce and Ray Allen, he chose Ray Allen, who was more accurate with three-pointers.
Follow them ahead of time.
Ray Allen got the ball, and Su Yanren arrived, immediately closing in and putting pressure on the defense.
"boom!"
The two confronted each other head-on.
Ray Allen was completely outmatched, and his entire body even leaned backward, as if he was about to fall.
This is the defensive pressure of great strength.
Su Yan could give more, but... he needs to control the amount, otherwise he'll call a defensive foul.
Ray Allen passed the ball, intending to use the change of pace to shake off Su Yan and then launch an attack.
Obviously.
One-on-one breakthroughs are not something Ray Allen is particularly good at, and Su Yan pounced on him again.
Apply enough pressure.
Seizing the opportunity, he made a swift and decisive move, stealing the ball from Ray Allen.
"what?"
Ray Allen was shocked.
Su Yan didn't even glance at him, but darted forward, snatched the basketball, and launched a fast break.
Ray Allen quickly gave chase.
With his head down and sprinting at full speed, he managed to catch up with Su Yan, and the two of them rushed into the basket together.
Is Su Yan hard to attack?
No.
Su Yan didn't even glance at him. He took a step inside the free-throw line and, right in front of Ray Allen standing next to him, caught the ball and flew up.
The speed has caught up.
What does my jumping ability have to do with this?
Su Yan leaped into the air, gliding through the air, and delivered a powerful one-handed dunk, causing the rim to groan.
Ray Allen?
He couldn't jump from that position at all, and unable to stop, he rushed to the basket like a fool, becoming Su Yan's backdrop.
"With a steal and a dunk, Su Yan's shot fully demonstrated the style of a 'top 3D' player."
"51 points! Su Yan has scored 50+ points again, which is really amazing for a rookie!"
A 3-point difference.
5 minutes 31 seconds.
Su Yan faced off against Pierce again at the top of the arc, with the latter dribbling between his legs in succession.
Not fast.
It has a strong sense of rhythm.
Holding the ball in his left hand, he lowered his center of gravity and accelerated forward, suddenly colliding violently with Su Yan's body.
It is not advantageous.
But Pierce wasn't just a brute who relied solely on strength to play basketball.
After another confrontation, Pierce turned around and continued to dominate the right wing.
Spinning continuously.
Believe it or not... he actually squeezed into the paint area, getting closer and closer to the basket.
He switched to a back-to-the-basket move with a half-turn, exerted force, sensed Su Yan's defensive position, and then made another half-turn.
Continuous shoulder shaking.
"The center of gravity is on the right."
Pierce glanced at the ball out of the corner of his eye, then decisively turned to his left, gathered the ball, and launched a jump shot.
It wasn't fast, but it was a textbook example of a back-to-the-basket one-on-one play.
However... Su Yan did not lose his position; his jumping ability and explosiveness far surpassed Pierce's.
They were practically waiting for Pierce to jump first.
Su Yan took a step forward and leaped up, like a spring, instantly jumping backward and arriving first.
"boom!"
Pierce's jump shot was slapped away.
"???"
Pierce looked incredulous.
He was stunned, and Su Yan rushed out again.
Before the basketball went out of bounds, he lunged out and saved it, landing face-first on the scorer's table.
"Great save!"
"Su Yan is working too hard!"
The commentator exclaimed in amazement.
Curry sprinted out, grabbed the basketball that Su Yan had saved, and launched a rapid counterattack.
He drove straight to the basket, and together with Rondo and Ray Allen, he made a behind-the-back pass.
He passed it on to Wilson, who was following up.
He raised his hand and made a three-pointer.
Opportunity ball.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately... he didn't capitalize on it, but the Knicks' teamwork from defense to offense was flawless this time.
rebound?!
David Lee and Garnett fought over a piece.
The basketball flew out and was caught by Garnett, who then passed it to Rondo.
Not in a hurry.
Take it one step at a time.
On the left high post, he dribbled the ball for a while, then made a fake downward pass. Curry took several steps back, preparing to help defend.
But this was a feint.
Rondo suddenly found himself completely outmatched. Had he attacked?
No.
Rondo didn't shoot because... he's nicknamed "Rondo the Shooter" because his outside shooting is really inaccurate.
I don't want to waste the opportunity.
"Wow~"
Rondo quickly took a shot, pretending to find a better passing path, and passed the ball to Garnett in the low post on the left.
Curry, cutting to the basket, immediately collapsed his defense, attempting to pressure Garnett.
High-profile attack.
Garnett raised the basketball high, feigning a pass towards the center of the arc, a move intended to set up Ray Allen.
Curry had no choice but to chase after him.
Having shaken off the double team, Garnett faced David Lee one-on-one and, with his absolute talent advantage, decisively chose to take him down.
"Bang bang bang!"
With a series of contact and a spin move, Garnett used his excellent footwork to finish with a final fake shot.
David Lee flew straight away.
"What about people?!"
Garnett scoffed, took a step forward, followed by a back-and-forth step, easily ending the attack.
"Sigh... even if I didn't jump, his powerful jump shot could still end the offense."
David Lee sighed, somewhat helplessly.
On the Knicks' bench.
Coach D'Antoni looked very grim. "Pierce dribbles and faces the basket for a one-on-one, Ray Allen hits a three-pointer, Garnett backs down in the low post, and Rondo connects the team."
All four of them are very strong and each has a specific role to play, making them a really tough opponent!
The key is... everyone still has defensive capabilities.
Just saying.
In the midst of a transition to offense.
Pierce and Ray Allen were keeping an eye on Su Yan beyond the three-point line, while Garnett guarded the paint, determined to take on Su Yan.
They didn't give us any chance at all.
Su Yan was in despair?
No.
With the combined effects of [Off-the-ball Movement Lv2] and [Iron Bones Lv1], he must take the initiative and forcefully create opportunities!
