The final six minutes were Garbage Time.
There was no suspense.
There was no miraculous comeback like the New York Knicks had against the Thunder previously.
18 points.
The New York Knicks slaughtered the Warriors, securing their third consecutive win of the season!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for making 10 Three-point Shots in a single game, completing the first mission of 'Mutual Journey,' Reward: 100,000 USD.
Second mission: Breaking the NBA single-game Three-point Shot record, not yet completed.
host, keep up the good work!]
Uh... Although the second one wasn't completed, which is a bit of a pity, fortunately... this isn't a one-time mission.
Where failure means cancellation.
In the next game, or any subsequent game, as long as Su Yan can hit 13 Three-point Shots and lead the team to victory.
That will still count as completing the mission, and he will still receive 300,000 USD.
Thinking this way, Su Yan didn't feel so disappointed anymore.
"COME ON!"
Right after the game ended, Reggie Miller couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Su Yan hit 10 Three-point Shots tonight.
He set the record for the most Three-point Shots made in a single game this season.
He is also the ninth player in NBA history to make 10 or more Three-point Shots in a single game.
This is truly gratifying.
He is also the first Undrafted Player in NBA history to hit 10 Three-point Shots in a game.
This is too fierce!"
"That's amazing!"
Drexler nodded profusely, also extremely excited, "37 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 Blocking, plus 10 Three-point Shots.
This is the stat line Su Yan delivered tonight.
You call this an Undrafted Player?
No.
This is absolutely a rising superstar!!!"
"That's right."
Reggie Miller's eyes were also burning with intensity.
He asked, "Drexler, do you think Su Yan has a chance to become the strongest Undrafted Player in NBA history?"
"Uh..."
Drexler rubbed his chin and countered, "Are you asking if Su Yan can surpass Ben Wallace?!"
Reggie Miller gave an affirmative look.
Drexler looked conflicted. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "The two players are not the same type.
It's hard to compare them.
However... Su Yan will definitely become an outstanding Undrafted Player, just like Ben Wallace.
I also believe he will become a premier shooter in the league, and I wouldn't be surprised if he surpasses Ray Allen, Peja, and others to become the greatest shooter in history.
I wouldn't be surprised!"
"Wooow~"
Reggie Miller was surprised, "That's extremely high praise; you're going to attract some hate."
Speaking of which.
He paused, then raised an eyebrow, "I'll bear this hatred with you. Su Yan will become such an outstanding, top-tier shooter!"
The two commentators couldn't stop praising Su Yan.
On the court.
Su Yan, who had rested for half a quarter, exchanged friendly hugs and greetings with his opponents after the game concluded.
"Your Three-point Shot is too accurate, Su Yan. You will definitely be a headache for every team in the future!"
Maggette praised him sincerely after embracing Su Yan.
"Thank you."
Su Yan thanked him politely, "You are also excellent. I look forward to the day you become an all-star."
An all-star?
At his peak, Maggette averaged 23.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
A considerably outstanding performance.
He was the 13th overall pick in the first round of the '99 draft. Players from this draft spot seem to be strangely powerful.
Unfortunately.
Maggette has yet to be selected as an all-star even once in his career.
Becoming an all-star was his lifelong dream. Su Yan's compliment immediately delighted him, and his favorable impression of Su Yan soared.
Following this.
Su Yan then exchanged hugs and greetings with other Warriors players, including Watson, Tolliver, and Radmanovic.
This was a symbol of "Game Second, Friendship First."
When he reached Monta Ellis.
That guy surprisingly didn't step forward to initiate a hug, so Su Yan didn't indulge him and simply walked past him.
Did you think I wanted to hug you? You really think highly of yourself.
Su Yan walked two steps forward, approached Curry, hugged him, and then gently patted his back, encouraging him, "Stephen, you are an excellent player. Your talent for the Three-point Shot is incredible.
Stay confident.
You will certainly become a superstar in this league."
This wasn't praise; this was stating a known future fact that only Su Yan was aware of.
A superstar?!
Hearing these words, Curry felt a surge of longing in his heart.
With his baby face, he looked goofy and approachable, seemingly without any grand ambitions.
In reality.
Curry is an extremely competitive player.
Whether in his childhood, high school, or even when he was about to enter college, he was looked down upon for being too thin and weak.
Many people advised him to give up basketball.
It wasn't a game for someone short and skinny like him.
Curry was unconvinced but didn't say anything; he just... trained day and night.
Three-point Shots, confrontation, ball-handling, and so on.
He was quietly growing stronger, preparing to fiercely slap the faces of those who looked down on him.
Now on the NBA stage, clearly... he doesn't want to live under someone else's shadow; he wants to become a superstar in his own right.
At the very least.
He hoped the team would be kinder to him.
Hearing the praise of becoming a superstar, Curry tensed up, and a burning light appeared in his eyes.
He leaned in closer and whispered, "Su Yan, I want to play on the same team as you!!!"
...A moment later.
Su Yan then accepted an interview from a beautiful female reporter from ABC Radio.
"Mr. Su Yan, you hit a full 10 Three-point Shots tonight. You're amazing! How did you do it?!"
The beautiful reporter asked.
Su Yan scratched his head and replied, "I must thank my teammates and my coach.
My teammates created opportunities for me.
The coach gave me sufficient tactical status.
You know, I'm just an Undrafted Player, and I shouldn't inherently enjoy this kind of treatment, so... I thank them.
And the best way to thank them is... by making those Three-point Shots."
His answer was very official.
However, Su Yan's humble image—not taking credit and being willing to share the glory with his teammates—was established once again.
While Su Yan answered, the female reporter stared at him, never blinking.
She had seen handsome men, and she had seen great players, but... only Su Yan was both handsome and a great player, only Su Yan.
She was absorbed in watching him; every word Su Yan spoke captivated her.
"Hey, ma'am, I'm done."
It wasn't until Su Yan reminded her that she snapped back to reality, quickly giving a thumbs-up and praising him, "Players from Dragon Country are truly as humble as ever.
Su Yan is fantastic."
"Thank you!"
Su Yan thanked her again, then said, "That's all, right? My teammates are waiting for me to go back and celebrate.
I have to go."
"Ah~ Wait... wait a moment!"
Seeing Su Yan about to leave, the female reporter panicked and hastily spoke, "There is one last question.
It's for work purposes.
I apologize for taking up a little more of Mr. Su Yan's time.
May I ask, Mr. Su Yan, could you... could you give me an autograph, take a photo with me, and then accept my invitation to come to my place tonight to play the Monopoly Game?!"
Huh?
Goddamn work purposes.
Goddamn Monopoly Game.
We're just saying... that's your own private need, right!
Su Yan could only agree to the first two requests.
The female reporter beamed with joy. While having Su Yan sign her autograph, she leaned into his arms and posed for a picture, flashing a peace sign.
The earpiece in her ear repeatedly transmitted the sound of her leader cursing: "Idiot! What are you doing?! Ask him about his Three-point Shot technique!!!"
