Chapter 307 A Close Call! The Key Shot! A Battle of Endurance!
Hardware decoding vs. multiple approaches.
This was a match situation that experts and even fans could predict before the game.
In fact.
During the regular season, when the Knicks faced strong teams, Su Yan often had to step up and turn the tide.
This is normal.
The question is, in the Eastern Conference Finals, can Su Yan carry the team for the next seven games?
This is a question mark.
The third quarter was a close contest, with the score difference not widening further, providing a thrilling spectacle for the fans.
The scenes of Su Yan single-handedly fighting against the "Big Five of the Celtics" were truly amazing.
"That's awesome!"
On the high platform.
Wang Meng clapped enthusiastically, "Su Yan scored 18 points in the first half and then scored 18 points in the second quarter alone."
Please.
This is the playoff stage, even the Eastern Conference Finals stage. Scoring 18 points in a single quarter is truly amazing.
He scored a whopping 36 points in three quarters.
Su Yan single-handedly took on the "Celtics' Big Five," helping the Knicks remain undefeated.
"Hi-ya~ Hi-ya~"
Coach Zhang danced with joy, "Coach Wang Meng, we must emphasize that Su Yan is a rookie who has delivered such a great performance."
This is simply unreasonable.
This is something most people simply cannot do.
But he is Su Yan, the "Flame God," so it makes sense, and everything becomes logical!
Unconditionally trust Su Yan.
He can be an invincible lone hero, winning every battle and conquering every obstacle!
boast.
They openly and lavishly praised Su Yan.
Some international students also watched the Eastern Conference Finals through CCTV-5's studio.
Isn't it inappropriate to show such favoritism?
There's something inappropriate about it.
Take a look if you like, don't take a look if you don't, just lie down~
The last section.
First, there was a match between the substitutes.
McGrady and Iverson played slightly better because Rasheed Wallace and Glen Davis both played longer rotations.
I expended a lot of energy.
Their defensive intensity against McGrady and Iverson will inevitably decrease.
However... even so, both sides performed equally well tonight, a battle of shields and spears, neither able to gain the upper hand.
no way.
McGrady and Iverson, without their breakout seasons, couldn't provide much positive impact on the team.
It's already good enough that they're not holding us back.
It only took 3 minutes and 22 seconds.
"Beep!"
Coach D'Antoni called a timeout to bring the starters onto the court a little earlier for the final showdown.
After all, they haven't been able to close the 8-point gap left in the second quarter, and there are still 6 points left.
The pressure is on the Knicks.
The Celtics also brought back their starting lineup.
The decisive battle is approaching.
"Bang!"
Curry received a threat from Su Yan and a three-pointer off a screen from his teammate, but it was a bit too short and missed.
"Physical fitness..."
Coach D'Antoni frowned.
He knew the players were very exhausted tonight and theoretically needed to be given more rest time than usual (4 minutes).
But the situation is what it is.
If they can't rest much and have to go on the court as early as possible to catch up, they will face further exhaustion and a decline in performance.
You can't take care of both the beginning and the end.
Coach D'Antoni can only trust the players' desire to win and their own ability to adjust.
Aren't the Celtics tired?
It's just as tiring, only slightly better than the Knicks' situation.
Now it's a matter of who can hold out until the end.
Switch to offense.
Pierce was positioned at the right edge of the arc, facing off against Su Yan, marking one of the few direct confrontations between the two in this game.
No.
More accurately, this was a rare opportunity for Su Yan to defend against Pierce one-on-one.
"Oh?"
Su Yan himself was somewhat surprised, "You're not going to dodge anymore? The sky's cleared, the rain's stopped, and now you think you're all set?!"
Pierce made a rhythmic change of direction in front of him, rushing out on the right wing, and saw Su Yan catch up immediately.
Not urgent.
He turned halfway around, leaned against Su Yan, and tried to punch him, but he couldn't push Su Yan away. He still didn't care.
Suddenly turning around, the right wing descended.
Su Yan followed up once again, and Pierce once again made a half-turn post-up move, followed by... another turn and acceleration.
It's like a spinning top, but it's not just spinning.
One to two to go.
Even when facing Su Yan, Pierce still managed to get into the paint area and into his own close-to-the-basket zone.
"boom!"
The challenge came again, and he pulled up for a fadeaway jumper.
"drink!"
Su Yan sealed it up.
"be cheated!"
Pierce sneered inwardly, faked out Su Yan, took a step forward, and quickly executed a layup.
Got it?!
Tyson and David Lee were blocked by Perkins and Garnett; this time, they should have gotten an easy layup.
But... just as the basketball was about to touch the backboard, a large hand slapped it away.
"Who?!"
Pierce was shocked.
Who else could it be but Su Yan, who had caught up from behind?
"Didn't I shake him off his feet?!"
When Pierce caught a glimpse of Su Yan out of the corner of his eye, he showed an expression of disbelief.
indeed.
Su Yan was caught off guard, but it wasn't serious. His powerful physical talent allowed him to catch up and block the shot a second time.
"What incredible jumping ability, not bad speed either, and amazing explosiveness. He's definitely a DPOY-level defender."
Pierce looked serious.
In just one exchange, he felt the power of Su Yan's defense, and scenes from their regular season matchups flooded his mind.
rebound?!
Near the free-throw line, Wilson and Ray Allen scrambled for the ball, but neither managed to get it immediately.
The basketball rolled on the ground.
Floor ball.
"drink!"
"its mine!"
Wilson and Ray Allen immediately pounced on the floor to grab it.
Upon seeing this, Curry and Rondo rushed over immediately, almost kneeling on the ground, to grab the rebound.
The ground was in complete chaos.
Finally... Wilson held the basketball tightly to his chest, but Rondo's big hands were also pressing on it.
"Beep!"
The whistle blows.
Fight for the ball.
"drink!"
Wilson roared and jumped with all his might, sending the basketball flying, but it flew straight towards Pierce.
"Kick!"
Pierce leaped up, about to catch the basketball, when a pair of large hands suddenly appeared above his head.
"Who the hell is that?!"
Pierce is swearing.
Who else could it be but Su Yan, of course!
???
Pierce gritted his teeth, both angry and helpless.
Curry missed the previous shot, but Su Yan made an excellent defensive play to help the team regain possession.
"Bang bang bang!"
He took the ball and sprinted at full speed.
[Swiftness lv1].
Pierce was a step too slow and was left far behind by Su Yan, with only Ray Allen chasing after him on the flank.
The two ran to either side, moving towards the basket.
Upon seeing that only Ray Allen was there, Su Yan's eyes sharpened. He took a step inside the free-throw line and launched himself into the air with the ball.
Ignore the defense.
slammmmmdunk!
He slammed the ball down like a mountain while gliding, and scored with a powerful dunk.
What about Ray Allen?
He sprinted out at full speed, rushed to the basket, and even rushed out of the basket, but he didn't have the courage to jump.
Su Yan is too fast, his explosiveness is too great, and his jumping ability is too good.
At the moment he jumped, Ray Allen could only watch in despair!
