Chapter 124 - Chapter 123: Big Idiot McGee Fights Wits With Air, Fails at Showing Off!

Mengmeng wearing Su Yan's jersey at least indicates... she's a fan of Su Yan.

Recalling Mengmeng secretly kissing Su Yan at the scene before, her fan status would instantly elevate.

Mengmeng has a good impression of Su Yan.

Tall, good physique, high looks (looks), and rich, now... his popularity is also soaring.

Then... even if Mengmeng is a high-flying Hollywood 'hot commodity,' she is still an emotional being.

She will also have someone she likes.

Does Su Yan fit?

He fits perfectly in every way, so... wearing his jersey might not be as simple as just having a good impression.

The temperature continues to rise.

Mengmeng has a crush on Su Yan.

Alright~

Fans are wildly speculating, just wanting to get this answer.

And not long ago, during the riot on Colonel Commercial Street, Su Yan's 'heroic rescue' of Salena under 'acting bravely for a just cause' had already spread throughout the entertainment industry.

This had long since spread throughout the entertainment industry.

Countless fans raised the 'CP' banner for Su Yan and Salena, hoping they could become a couple.

So, the dispute began.

Of course.

This is something for the entertainment industry after tonight's game.

Mengmeng's beautiful eyes passed over David Lee, looked at Su Yan behind him, and smiled in greeting.

Su Yan also smiled in acknowledgment.

"Wow~"

David Lee suddenly became excited, "Look, Tracy, Mengmeng just smiled at me."

"Impossible!"

McGrady glanced at Salena with disbelief, then at Su Yan behind David Lee, shaking his head and complaining:

"You're overthinking it. She was looking at Yan behind you. It's good enough that she didn't mind you blocking her view!"

!!!

David Lee was stunned, his heart shattered.

Soon.

"Boom!"

Amidst the surging atmosphere in the arena, warm-ups concluded, and both teams' starters began to take the court. The main game was about to begin!

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

Washington Wizards Starters: Point Guard: Gilbert Arenas, Shooting Guard: Mike Miller, Small Forward: Caron Butler, Power Forward: Antawn Jamison, Center: Brendan Haywood.

"Jump Ball!"

The jump ball between Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood.

"Clap!"

Haywood was the first to tip the ball, giving the Wizards the first possession of the game.

Arenas dribbled the ball up, reaching the right arc, facing... Curry's defense, continuously faking with a right-hand in-and-out dribble.

He accelerated with a quick step and drove in.

Shaking off Curry, he took one extra step then... pulled up for a jump shot.

"Swish!"

It went in.

"Hmm?"

Although Arenas scored on Curry, Curry didn't feel too much pressure.

It's important to know.

When the 'General' was at his peak, his flashy and explosive changes of direction, combined with astonishing speed.

Perhaps one change of direction and acceleration, and the opponent would be gone.

Or... with his incredible upper body strength, facing a physically weaker guard like Curry.

One bump could send him flying.

Then a pull-up jump shot to finish the offense.

In short, the 'General' in his memory was very fierce offensively, with incredibly destructive power.

However.

Arenas didn't give Curry that feeling just now; he just scored, not fierce at all.

Curry defended for a few more possessions.

He became even more certain of his inner thoughts, and also... endorsed Coach D'Antoni's pre-game analysis of Arenas.

D'Antoni said: "Don't look at Gilbert averaging 23.4 points and 7.5 assists now.

But after suffering injuries and barely playing for two seasons, he is no longer the 'General' of yesteryear.

His body can no longer produce such fierce destructive power.

He can score, and even has near all-star level, but it's a significant drop from his peak.

And.

He doesn't dare to play recklessly now, otherwise... the risk of further injury is high."

Curry, understanding the situation from actual play, didn't relax his guard against Arenas, but he no longer feared him either.

Su Yan dribbled the ball up himself, facing... Mike Miller, at the right arc, one meter beyond the Three-point Shot line.

"Whoosh~"

He pulled up directly for a Three-point Shot with the ball.

"WTF?!"

Miller, who was also once an elite Shooter in the league, was startled.

Even a Shooter like him felt that Su Yan's Three-point Shot selection... was very unreasonable.

However.

"Swish!"

Accompanied by a beautiful swishing sound, the basketball pierced the net.

Unreasonable, but it goes in.

Unreasonable, but... very Su Yan!!!

"Is this the potential stock of the small ball era? This Three-point Shot ability is indeed terrifyingly accurate!"

Mike Miller's expression was solemn.

As an elite Shooter, he understood Three-point Shots very well, and it only took one shot.

Su Yan earned his respect and attention.

Transition offense.

Arenas pushed forward, first setting a screen to give himself enough space to connect with the team.

He drove in.

After attracting the defense, he made a horizontal bounce pass to Caron Butler, who was cutting into the paint from the other side.

Attacking the basket.

"Bastard, you're overthinking it!"

Tyson Chandler roared as he leaped high, his outstretched long arms completely engulfing Caron Butler.

Impenetrable.

Caron Butler's forced layup missed.

The rebound was secured by David Lee, who passed it to Curry at the arc, who quickly dribbled down to initiate a fast break.

The Run-and-Gun Cyclone was set in motion.

"Watch out for the fast-break Three-point Shot!"

Wizards Head Coach Flip Saunders roared from the sideline as a reminder.

Curry, unhurried, watched the Wizards' defensive movements, and after confirming they were focused on the Three-point Shot, he decisively made a bounce pass forward.

Directly to Su Yan under the basket, who caught the ball and took three steps.

His 110-centimeter vertical leap allowed him to explode off the ground within the paint, soaring for a gliding tomahawk dunk that slammed the rim.

One word: handsome.

Two words: silky smooth.

The Knicks' run-and-gun fast break left the Wizards helpless.

Although Arenas was no longer at his peak, his threat was still present, and he distributed the ball to actively running teammates.

Their offense was still decent.

The two teams played for 7 minutes, and while it seemed like a back-and-forth, the Knicks actually led by 6 points.

Why?

It can be understood as: a gap in hard strength.

Coach Flip Saunders substituted Haywood for backup Center McGee, hoping that the more talented McGee could establish defensive dominance in the paint.

Big McGee?

Yes, it's McGee, who often appeared on 'Shaqtin' a Fool' but possessed 'top-tier talent below the neck.'

"Don't worry, Coach, I will definitely fulfill my mission and lock down Su Yan!"

McGee confidently entered the court.

He immediately started bothering Su Yan on the perimeter, trying to show his defensive talent to the coach.

To be fair... if McGee defended seriously, he could contend with Su Yan even on the perimeter.

He was guarding Su Yan on the left high post.

On the right, Curry was facing Arenas, performing a 'butterfly through flowers' dribble, looking for an offensive opportunity.

"What handsome Dribbling!"

McGee was mesmerized.

He was truly mesmerized, so much so that when Su Yan made a half-turn and cut backdoor, he remained rooted, defending the air.

Curry saw this and threw a high lob pass.

"Boom!"

Su Yan threw down an Tomahawk Alley-oop, once again slamming the rim.

"Sigh~"

Coach Flip Saunders slapped his forehead, sighing repeatedly, "Big Idiot, why do you start fighting wits with air as soon as you come in!!!"
