Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Defeat Like a Collapsing Mountain! What a Pity, What a Pity!

"My God!"

Drexler's unconcealed excitement on his face meant he was destined not to enter the Hollywood film industry.

He roared, "9 Three-point Shots, and the third quarter isn't even over yet! What does that mean?!

Tonight...

Su Yan is aiming for more than 10 Three-point Shots, and might even break the single-game record of 12 Three-point Shots set by Kobe and Marshall!"

"Wooow~"

Reggie Miller's face showed anticipation: "That would be absolutely insane!!!

Now.

Because Su Yan made another 3 Three-point Shots with high efficiency, the New York Knicks have narrowed a 10-point deficit to just 3 points.

Just one more Three-point Shot, and the difference will be erased.

But for the Warriors, even worse than catching up to the score is... Monta Ellis's shooting touch is declining.

He's not as omnipotent as he was in the first half, where he could make any shot, no matter how difficult.

Even though he also scored 31 points.

But... his efficiency is dropping, and that's the most fatal situation for the Warriors.

Just as he was speaking.

On the court.

Monta Ellis's offense stalled again under the double-team of Su Yan and Wilson Chandler.

His gaze sharpened.

He subconsciously wanted to find Curry to pass the hot potato to him, but then suddenly realized... Curry wasn't on the court.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye.

He saw Maggette open on the other side in the low post.

He faked a pass to CJ Watson, but then made a no-look pass to Maggette.

Good opportunity.

Maggette took the ball straight to the basket, David Lee reacted a beat too slow, and it was too late for him to defend.

As a result.

Maggette missed an almost open layup.

This was even more despair-inducing than Curry's hot potato Three-point Shot clanking off the rim!

"What the hell?"

Ellis's face was ashen, he was angry, he felt his teammates were all useless, not a single one could play.

He started to get heated.

He began to endlessly play one-on-one, refusing to pass even when forced to stop by Su Yan and Wilson Chandler.

He took the contact.

He spun around and faded away, a super difficult fadeaway over two Blocking players, the kind that would be a top five play if it went in.

Of course.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The sounds of clanking iron were incessant.

Ellis played recklessly, the Warriors' offense stalled, Su Yan's defensive threat drew attention, and the New York Knicks' counterattack began.

David Lee in the low post.

Harrington lurking in the corner for a Three-point Shot.

Wilson Chandler driving to the basket with more space.

And... Gallinari, who came off the bench, also had easier outside shooting opportunities.

Less than three quarters, 9 Three-point Shots.

Su Yan's firepower from beyond the arc was too strong, his deterrence too great, benefiting his teammates and making their offense easier.

A 3-point difference.

Immediately erased.

Seeing his teammates playing well, Su Yan wasn't in a hurry to attack, after all... the two-way Three-point Shot mission.

No matter which one, the prerequisite was to win the game.

It wasn't until the end of the third quarter, the New York Knicks' last possession, with only 7 seconds left.

Douby quickly pushed the ball up.

Then... he passed the ball to Su Yan in the logo area on the right, Harrington went up to screen, and Su Yan took the ball and ran two steps forward.

No time left.

"Swish!"

Su Yan stopped abruptly and launched a super long Three-point Shot from an estimated seven feet, more than two meters, beyond the three-point line.

This was a forced shot with no time left.

Everyone knew.

Maggette followed, but he only symbolically reached out to interfere; he couldn't fully defend this shot.

Fouling would be a huge loss.

"This end-of-quarter shot definitely can't go in, right?"

That's usually the case.

Although there are many highlight reels of such forced super long Three-point Shots, they are just highlights.

In reality, the shooting percentage is extremely low.

But when Maggette said this, his tone was full of self-doubt, simply because it was Su Yan who shot the Three-point Shot!

"It shouldn't, right?"

He looked back, saying no, but feeling incredibly nervous inside.

The spinning basketball arced beautifully through the air, and under Maggette's astonished and panicked gaze, it dropped into the Nets!!!

"Oh, no!"

Maggette clutched his head, roaring in despair: "He's cheating! This guy is using a hack!!!"

Su Yan made a buzzer-beater Three-point Shot at the end of the third quarter, and it was a super long one.

With this Three-point Shot, Su Yan made his 10th Three-point Shot of the game, completing the first task of the two-way mission.

Of course.

It would only be completely finished after winning the game.

"One down, still... 3 more!"

As Su Yan walked back to the bench, he counted on his fingers, a smile playing on his lips.

"Ah ah ah~"

Sharp screams erupted throughout the arena.

These... were all female shouts, and you could feel the overflowing infatuated screams of female fans even through phone screens.

Excuse me.

This is the Warriors' home court, is it polite to cheer for the visiting team?

It's not polite.

So... even though male fans thought Su Yan's Three-point Shots were terrifying and this buzzer-beating super long Three-point Shot was awesome.

Everyone was still restraining themselves.

To maintain the last bit of dignity for their home team.

But the female fans couldn't restrain themselves at all, as if whoever screamed the loudest could win Su Yan's heart.

"This Three-point Shot is so handsome~"

"How many? Su Yan made 10 Three-point Shots in a single game? No one has made that many Three-point Shots this season, right?!"

"Who said Su Yan was a vase? Come out, get beaten~"

"Each Three-point Shot draws beautiful rainbow arcs in the air, making one linger and forget to return!

Su Yan is not only handsome and has a good physique, but he also plays so well.

My God.

What kind of divine boyfriend would this be? If I could go on a date with him for a day, I'd do anything!!!"

"A man who can shoot Three-point Shots is truly handsome. Watching Su Yan play, my legs are completely unable to close!"

"Ah ah ah~ The way Su Yan shoots Three-point Shots is too captivating, I've hopelessly fallen in love with him.

I really hope he can play games with me with a whip, every night!!!"

"..."

If dunking represents the ultimate violent aesthetic.

Then, a Three-point Shot is like a wealthy CEO painting a picture, elegant yet dominant, making it even easier to fall for!!!

Su Yan charmed a large number of women.

After three quarters.

Su Yan hit 10 Three-point Shots, helping his team erase a 10-point deficit and take a 5-point lead.

A net gain of 15 points in a single quarter.

Curry played poorly?

But the Warriors without Curry seemed even more dismal!

The final quarter.

First, it was a battle between the benches.

Larry Hughes teamed up with Gallinari to unleash an offensive storm.

In just 3 minutes and 21 seconds, the two helped the New York Knicks extend their 5-point lead to 11 points.

"Beep beep!"

Don Nelson had no choice but to call a timeout.

To bring the starters back early.

However... Ellis was already heated, he started playing recklessly, ignoring all his teammates, acting wantonly.

This might increase his score.

But the team's deficit was also growing.

After Su Yan came back on, his Three-point Shots were still being targeted, so... using Off-Ball Movement Lv1 and his own Three-point Shot threat.

He completed a layup and a fast break counterattack.

He was still looking for Three-point Shot opportunities, only 3 more Three-point Shots to complete the second mission.

Who would have thought.

With Ellis playing wildly and Curry benched, the Warriors' defeat was like a collapsing mountain, suddenly falling apart.

With 6 minutes left in the final quarter.

The deficit had already reached a staggering 23 points.

Don Nelson gave up struggling, and D'Antoni also called off the troops.

Damn it... I didn't even try hard, and you guys are already done for?

The moment Su Yan sat back on the bench, he knew that the second task of the two-way mission couldn't be completed tonight.

What a pity, what a pity!!!
