Chapter 116 - Chapter 110: Falling Behind! Unconvinced! Overheated!

That's right.

Anthony wasn't the only one who was unstoppable.

While he continuously scored with his kaleidoscope-like offense, Su Yan was also constantly scoring for the team.

First, he bumped Aaron aside, stepped back, and hit a Three-point Shot.

Immediately after... using Off-Ball Movement Lv2, combined with a teammate's screen, he once again shook off Aaron, who was desperately chasing him.

Curry's wonderful pass was also timely.

Su Yan caught the ball, cut to the basket, and exploded up, dunking with the enhancement of Spring Man Lv2.

It was a very fluid and powerful dunk.

Su Yan smiled slightly, satisfied, and realized a problem.

After playing against the Thunder, there was the "serial killer" incident on Colonel Commercial Street again.

Then the sneaker contract renewal, visiting Rebecca's home, helping her move, and so on.

A series of events made him forget to test how much his Spring Man Lv2 had increased his jumping ability.

It seems to be quite a lot now.

He must find time to measure it specifically.

"What's going on? Completely undefendable?!"

Aaron Afflalo was full of shock.

In college, he had the nickname "Great God Aaron" and was the absolute core of UCLA.

He was once hailed by the outside world as one of the best shooting guards in the league's future.

His offensive prowess was astonishing.

Now only a third-year player, with Billups and Anthony on offense, he didn't have many opportunities yet.

But on the defensive end.

His fierce defense had already made his nickname "Great God Aaron" somewhat famous.

But tonight, he felt completely unable to stop Su Yan.

This made him feel incredible.

"Damn it!"

Aaron gritted his teeth and roared, pouncing even more fiercely in the next possession, not like a great god, but like a mad dog, tearing at Su Yan like crazy.

Don't say it.

This time, it worked well.

When Su Yan circled out and got the ball at the top of the arc on the left, Aaron immediately followed, right in front of him, sticking tightly.

There wasn't much opportunity.

Watching the 24-second shot clock about to expire.

Su Yan put the basketball under him, leaned forward, and used his head to push Aaron away slightly, creating a sliver of space.

"Whoosh~"

He pulled up directly.

Forcibly pulling up.

It was equivalent to... unleashing a powerful move right in Aaron's face.

"If you can still make that contested shot that I've locked down, I'll eat..."

Aaron was full of confidence.

The next second.

"Swish!"

A crisp swishing sound echoed.

The basketball went right into the net.

Three-point Shot made.

How the hell... can he make every shot he takes? How do you defend against this?

Aaron felt despair inside.

That's right.

Even if your defense is excellent and very successful, Su Yan has one word: accurate.

So accurate that your defense cannot interfere with his shooting.

This is unsolvable.

This is also what Instructor Zhang said, Anthony isn't the only one who is unstoppable.

Off-ball movement, violent confrontation, cutting to the basket, and... teammate screens and passes.

These perfectly complemented Max Level Three-Pointer.

When Su Yan focused on scoring, he could also reach an unstoppable level.

"Boom!"

Astonishing Three-point Shots, and a delightful kaleidoscope-like offense.

Unstoppable versus unstoppable.

In an instant... Su Yan and Anthony, the player of the week and the player of the month Small Forward, engaged in a mutual explosion!

Fans cheered with excitement.

First quarter ended.

[New York Knicks 31:26 Denver Nuggets]

Under the intense offensive exchange, the New York Knicks had a slight advantage, or perhaps... Su Yan's accurate Three-point Shot brought its own advantage buff!

Second quarter.

First, the matchup between the benches.

Wild Card J.R. Smith + Ty Lawson, one of the "North Carolina dual cores" + "Birdman" Chris Andersen, who averaged 2.0 Blocks per game.

Strong.

The Nuggets' bench was as strong as a group of bandits.

Although the New York Knicks had Wilson Chandler + Larry Hughes, the difference was indeed quite significant.

In just 3 minutes and 24 seconds.

The Nuggets' bench bandits went on an 11:4 run against the New York Knicks, not only erasing the 5-point deficit but also taking a 2-point lead.

"Beep beep!"

Coach D'Antoni had to call a timeout.

Bringing back the starters.

His brows were also tightly furrowed, "I knew the Nuggets' bench strength wasn't weak, but I didn't expect it to be so strong.

Especially J.R. Smith.

He seems to be in hot form tonight, and if he stays hot, he'll be very difficult to deal with!"

D'Antoni's meaning was: if J.R. wasn't a Wild Card, he'd be an all-star every day.

The New York Knicks' starters came back first.

The Nuggets' bench was not afraid, they battled the New York Knicks for another minute, allowing their starters to get more rest.

4 minutes and 38 seconds.

The Nuggets' starters returned.

Su Yan's gaze sharpened, and his heart sank.

'The Nuggets' bench is like a bandit, very fierce, so as long as it's rotation time, we'll constantly be under pressure.

This is not good news.

This will put pressure on us even when we rest.

Then... we can only play more aggressively when we're on the court, build the largest possible lead, to possibly suppress the opponent.'

Thinking of this.

Su Yan narrowed his eyes, and the moment he received the ball on Anthony's right high post... he actively moved to meet him.

Before this.

McGrady or Wilson Chandler primarily guarded Anthony.

Su Yan's defense was certainly stronger, but his physical stamina wasn't particularly abundant; he needed to allocate his stamina reasonably.

Prioritizing the offensive end.

Only when there was truly no other option and he had to step up would he play both defense and offense.

Anthony is 203 cm tall with a wingspan of 213 cm.

Su Yan is 201 cm tall with a wingspan of 213 cm.

Their static talents were similar, but in terms of overall talent, Anthony was stronger than Su Yan.

However.

In individual strength and jumping ability, Su Yan was superior, and by a lot, which was the reason for his strong defense.

So, he would leverage his advantages.

"Step!"

Su Yan stuck close, applying physical pressure, not deliberately exerting force, as that would be a foul.

However.

Su Yan was able to stop Anthony's every collision and impact.

One strong force can overcome ten skills.

When your strength is sufficient, defense becomes much simpler.

Anthony had a "kaleidoscope"-like offense; besides confrontation, he had many other ways.

To create shooting space for himself.

Su Yan certainly couldn't lock him down with strength alone, but he also had the jumping enhancement from Spring Man Lv2.

This allowed him, even if he was shaken off, to still close out and provide some defensive interference, or even... Blocking.

After Su Yan took over the primary defense.

Anthony's efficiency began to decline.

Billups saw that the situation was not right and decisively went up early to screen for Anthony, actively trying to help him avoid Su Yan as much as possible.

He was very perceptive.

After avoiding Su Yan, Anthony clearly played more comfortably.

And because Billups was focused on Anthony, his defensive restriction on Curry would weaken somewhat.

Curry was playing the role of the team's second-best player.

Although Su Yan's offense included many contested shots, they only appeared that way; with Max Level Three-Pointer, they were all reasonable shots.

When he faced Anthony.

One-on-one.

Su Yan's offense was actually easier.

An offensive kaleidoscope, but defensively easily exploited.

It truly is you, Sweet Melon.

Back and forth.

The Nuggets fell behind.

The points gained by the Nuggets' bench were lost again by the starters; by the end of the second quarter, the New York Knicks had re-established a 5-point lead!

"What's going on? Losing points again?"

Anthony frowned, extremely dissatisfied, "We can't let

the bench carry us starters, can we?!"
