Su Yan rode and dunked on Dampier, and the astonishing impact forced Dampier to retreat repeatedly until he hit the backboard.
Only then did he stop.
He looked utterly disheveled.
After Su Yan rode the dunk and hung on the rim, he landed steadily and looked directly at Dampier, saying word by word in a calm tone: "Blocking is fine.
But... who gave you the courage to point fingers and gossip about my brother?!"
Dampier remained silent.
He knew the principle of 'the victor is king' better than anyone.
He had been ridden and dunked on; what the hell did he have to argue about? He just had to stand there and take it.
But.
He couldn't understand how Su Yan, who was so much shorter than him, could ride and dunk on him?!
Could it be... that all Dragon Country players were this fierce?
At this moment, he recalled the nightmare of being dominated by Yao Ming in the paint all those years!!!
[New York Knicks 2:0 Mavericks].
Right from the start, it was a death-defying ride dunk.
The New York Knicks, who already had the home-court advantage, immediately surged with momentum.
Jason Kidd dribbled the ball over, feeling the restless atmosphere in the arena, and suddenly felt some pressure.
Fortunately.
After all, he was a player who had played in the NBA Finals.
He remained calm, making a bounce pass to Terry, who was coming out from below, not rushing to attack.
The ball was transferred again.
It went to Nowitzki on the left low post. Facing David Lee, he faked a shot, leaned into contact, and followed with a turnaround.
Then... he shot.
It wasn't a simple shot, but a jump shot with a slight lean back, lifting his right foot slightly, commonly known as the "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg."
Nowitzki is 213 centimeters tall, already very tall, and lifting his foot expands his cylinder, making it even harder for opponents to block.
With a slight fadeaway.
It was almost impossible to interfere.
David Lee wanted to block it, but he couldn't reach, only managing a very weak interference.
Which was as good as none.
This shot had little defensive interference but a high degree of difficulty; whether it went in depended entirely on Nowitzki's touch.
However... Nowitzki was also one of the best outside shooting big men in the league today.
"Swish!"
A beautiful swishing sound rang out.
The ball went in.
This was also the unsolvable nature of the "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg"!!!
[New York Knicks 2:2 Mavericks].
Su Yan dribbled the ball himself, facing... Marion's defense, and he didn't hold back at all.
Right arc top.
One step outside the Three-point Shot line, after dribbling past, he lowered his center of gravity, faked a drive, and suddenly pulled up.
Right in front of Marion.
"Hmph!"
Marion roared as he went up to block, "My shooting form might be ugly, but that doesn't mean my defense is bad!
Shooting a Three-point Shot in front of me, isn't that too much?
WTF? He jumped so high, how is he still rising, how is he still in the air, are you f***ing... grabbing the pull-up bar!"
The two jumped almost simultaneously.
Su Yan was still ascending, while Marion had already begun to descend. How could this be defended? How could this be blocked?!
Marion was stunned.
But this was Su Yan's astonishing vertical leap, enhanced by Spring Man Lv3.
A meteor of white feathers, a fierce arrow piercing the heart.
"Swish!"
The fierce arrow pierced the net, hitting precisely.
But on the fast break.
Nowitzki was also on the right high post, after what seemed like an illusory confrontation, he performed his Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg on the spot, shooting over McGrady's defense.
The difficulty was also high.
"Swish!"
But it also went in.
And as soon as Nowitzki scored, David Lee made a quick inbound pass under the basket. Curry received the ball and sprinted at full speed, picking up the pace and initiating a "run-and-gun" offense.
Just past half-court, he made a bounce pass, precisely delivering it to Su Yan, who had rushed ahead and was positioned in the frontcourt.
"Whoosh~"
He caught the ball and immediately shot a trailing Three-point Shot.
Like an archer hitting a target a hundred paces away.
"Swish!"
A string of Three-point Shots.
The arena erupted in cheers, but before the cheers could subside, Nowitzki on the Mavericks' side also hit a trailing Three-point Shot from the left high post.
This shot?
It went in too.
The response was quick, and it seemed... the cheers from the stands were not for Su Yan, but for Nowitzki.
"Wooow~"
Reggie Miller couldn't help but smile at this scene, "Here it comes, just as we expected.
Su Yan and Dirk, two great outside Shooters, are dueling with their shooting right from the start!
This game is exciting!"
"So accurate!"
Barkley also sighed with emotion, then his eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, "Su Yan's Three-point Shot is incredibly accurate; he's a potential stock for the small ball era.
But.
Big men Shooters like Dirk are rare in the league.
Since there's a trend towards the "small ball era" in the future, outside shooting will definitely be a big factor.
So... Dirk also seems to be approaching the small ball era."
"Indeed."
Reggie Miller agreed, "Precisely because he's approaching the small ball era, Dirk's playing style has always been controversial.
Some people even think that such a big guy only floats outside to shoot, calling him a softie!"
Yes.
Before the german war machine Nowitzki became a god by defeating the Miami Heat's Big Three and becoming 'king nowitzki'.
He was always called a softie.
In reality... his playing style was ahead of its time and perfectly suited for the small ball era.
Fortunately.
Dirk was strong enough that even with the taunts of being a 'softie,' he stuck to his guns and ultimately had the last laugh, becoming a king of his generation!
First quarter.
No.
The entire first half.
Su Yan and Nowitzki were trading Three-point Shots and offense, and their astonishing efficiency made the fans cheer with delight!
Su Yan, with his more accurate Three-point Shots and more ferocious cuts to the basket, had a slightly stronger overall offense than Nowitzki.
However.
The Mavericks also had Marion, Terry, and Jason Kidd, among other players, and their role players' combat effectiveness was much stronger than the New York Knicks'.
[New York Knicks 66:63 Mavericks].
After two quarters, the New York Knicks only led by 3 points, and this was with Su Yan playing very well; the advantage was not significant.
The Mavericks were not flustered; maintaining the current rhythm, with Nowitzki's hot hand, they remained confident in winning the game.
What about the New York Knicks?
The same was true.
Su Yan's hot hand could boost the team's morale.
Crucially... everyone knew that Su Yan was only focusing on offense currently. Once he actively put defensive pressure on Nowitzki in the second half.
That would be a different situation.
"Hey!"
Halftime.
In the New York Knicks' locker room, McGrady excitedly asked, "Can Yan's defense stop Dirk's 'Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg'?"
"Hiss..."
David Lee twitched the corner of his mouth, not daring to answer.
It wasn't a lack of trust in Su Yan, but rather... Dirk's "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg" was famously unsolvable in the league.
"I think so!"
Tyson was carefree, not thinking too much, just trusting Su Yan was enough.
Curry also raised his hand in agreement, "If Yan first applies contact, then maximizes his jump, he really has a chance!!!"
"Yes, yes!"
Wilson Chandler also chimed in repeatedly, even more excitedly, "I saw it on the first possession tonight.
Yan.
He seemed to just lightly jump, and his head was already at the rim. His vertical leap and explosiveness are too astonishing, too terrifying!
So as long as he jumps high enough.
What about the 'Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg'? It's just strong, it's not like it's never been blocked before!
!!"
