Chapter 56 - Chapter 54: Off-Ball Movement + Wonderful Passes = Three-Point Rain!

[player of the week Mission Triggered: Su Yan wins a player of the week honor. Reward: 1 million USD].

A 1 million reward for player of the week?!

Didn't I just get the Eastern Conference player of the week? Didn't I already complete the mission?

Su Yan felt a surge of excitement, and he immediately stretched out his hand, as if demanding the reward from the System empty-handed.

The System explained: [The mission's starting time is after the mission has been issued. Since the host obtained the player of the week honor before this, it does not count.]

???

Are you kidding me?!

Then why didn't you issue it earlier?

Wasn't that excitement all for nothing?

System: [Money is meant to be earned, not freeloaded. Freeloading is shameful~]

Uh... that makes too much sense, I can't even argue.

That means... I still need to play well for at least another week, once again overpower the Eastern Conference heroes, and win player of the week again.

Then I can immediately get 1 million USD.

That's quite a reward.

"It looks like I need to play well this week too. Although there's no time limit, it would be best if I could aim to win player of the week and complete the mission this week."

Thinking this.

Su Yan had set a short-term goal.

10 minutes before the game.

The main match was about to begin.

The atmosphere in the fiery arena reached its peak, and everyone couldn't wait to watch the main match.

They were ready to enjoy the showdown between the Players of the week.

Both teams' players returned to the benches for final pre-game adjustments.

Western Conference player of the week Chris Kaman received a pass from his teammate on the left high post, raised his hand, and sank a mid-range shot.

He ended his warm-up practice in blistering form.

After releasing the shot, he retreated confidently, seemingly knowing the ball would go in, feeling very satisfied with his condition.

Coincidentally, behind him, a plump waitress was walking over, carrying cola and a hamburger, preparing to deliver them to a customer.

Her attention was focused on the customer.

Kaman, retreating, didn't notice her behind him either.

"Bang!"

The two collided.

The force wasn't great, but... the waitress was too frail, and she was still knocked to the ground.

Drinks and food spilled everywhere.

"oh, no!"

The waitress saw the customer's food ruined and the floor dirtied, feeling despair!

The game was about to start.

The customers were also waiting to eat and watch the game.

If she affected the progress of the game, she might even lose her job.

She had no time to worry about her aching body and quickly tried to clean the dirty floor. Fortunately, the dedicated cleaning staff also came over to help.

Kaman was completely fine. He glanced back at the food and drinks spilled all over the floor and the waitress kneeling down, frantically cleaning up.

He just gave a casual glance, and then... walked away, as if none of it had anything to do with him.

Of course.

Few people paid attention to this small incident.

Mengmeng only glanced at it before returning to her phone or watching Su Yan warm up.

The unluckiest one was definitely the waitress.

Her body was hurt from the collision, she had to clean the floor, apologize to the customer, and prepare new food.

She might also be scolded by her superior and have her pay deducted.

She felt terrible, but she had no choice. As a person at the bottom, she couldn't blame the high and mighty Chris Kaman.

She could only accept her bad luck.

Fortunately, staff intervened and the cleanup was fast enough that it didn't affect the main match.

Soon after.

The main match arrived, and both starting lineups began to take the court.

The Los Angeles Clippers starters: Point Guard: Baron Davis, Shooting Guard: Eric Gordon, Small Forward: Rasual Butler, Power Forward: Marcus Camby, Center: Chris Kaman.

The New York Knicks starters: Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: McGrady, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.

"jump ball!"

The tip-off between Kaman and Tyson.

In terms of the jump ball, Tyson's 216 cm height and 221 cm wingspan gave him a natural advantage.

"Slap!"

He beat Kaman to it, tipping the ball first. David Lee secured it and passed it to Curry to advance, setting up the New York Knicks' first possession of the game.

The Los Angeles Clippers Small Forward.

Rasual started shadowing Su Yan from the first possession. He had decent defensive ability and served as the first major defensive barrier against Su Yan.

After experiencing the power of [Steel Tendons and Iron Bones Lv1] in the last game.

Su Yan would no longer attack like a reckless brute.

He used counter-stepbacks, off-ball movement, seeking screens from teammates, etc.—attacking in the most comfortable and easiest way to score.

He ran down the right wing, read the game situation, and saw David Lee coming up to set an off-ball screen.

Suddenly, he reversed direction and sprinted upwards.

"My bad, I already guessed that!"

Rasual chased him with a low growl, unaware that he was only seeing the first layer, while Su Yan was operating on the second.

"Thump!"

Rasual, who was aggressively chasing upward, slammed straight into David Lee, stopping his movement.

Su Yan circled out, while Curry, who had been watching Su Yan, drove in to draw the defense.

Seizing the opportunity.

He executed a left-handed behind-the-back pass, accurately finding Su Yan, who caught the ball, performed his signature half-turn, and launched a Three-point Shot.

"The sun shines on Incense Burner Peak, from which purple smoke ascends; this Three-point Shot is right on trend!"

"Swish!"

It was a clean swish.

Damn... that looks exactly like my offensive rhythm!

Curry sighed internally.

"wooow~"

Mike Breen exclaimed, "Stephen's behind-the-back pass was exquisite! He is a far superior Point Guard than Douby.

Su Yan's Three-point Shot is as graceful and accurate as ever.

Stephen and Su Yan, the New York Knicks' "twin stars," showcased an exquisite collaboration on their very first possession as teammates.

That's so cool!"

"Hahaha!"

Mark Jackson laughed excitedly, "One dares to pass, and the other dares to shoot! These two don't look like rookies at all!"

"What a graceful Three-point Shot!"

Mengmeng's beautiful large eyes sparkled.

Su Yan, with his good looks, great physique, and... skill, radiated the charm of a top-tier man; even Hollywood female singers couldn't resist him.

"Clap!"

Su Yan and Curry high-fived.

This collaboration... was quite perfect.

It should be noted that tonight, the Los Angeles Clippers focused on Su Yan right from the start. Rasual was the first defensive barrier.

Eric Gordon was the second.

Camby and Kaman were also watching intently, with the entire team focusing their defense on Su Yan.

Yet, he still managed to get a Three-point Shot opportunity quite easily.

What does this indicate?

Su Yan's powerful off-ball movement, combined with Curry's precise passing, gave the opponents a major headache.

Transition offense.

Kaman got free from Tyson under the basket using strength and footwork, and scored at the rim. After all, he was a player of the week and all-star Center.

On the offensive end.

He definitely had some skills.

When it was the New York Knicks' turn to attack, Su Yan repeated the process, executing another successful play involving off-ball movement and collaboration with Curry.

Left side of the arc.

A step beyond the Three-point line might not be a normal offensive opportunity for others.

But for Su Yan, it was just right.

Drawing the bow and nocking the arrow.

Hitting a willow leaf a hundred paces away.

"Swish!"

Another Three-point Shot hit.

Su Yan delivered a direct response.

Kaman refused to be outdone. When Gordon's outside Three-point Shot missed, Kaman aggressively secured the rebound.

Immediately after.

He sprang up like a scallion pulled from dry ground.

"Boom!"

Over Tyson's defense... he delivered a powerful two-handed dunk, making the rim groan in protest!!!

"wooow~"

Gasol exclaimed, "Right from the start, the two Players of the week are trading blows and exploding offensively. This game... is fant

astic!!!"
