Chapter 118: Chapter 102: Su Wan Crushes LeBron, He’s Destroying Quicken Loans Arena!_2

Again, it was about facing LeBron James, the "King" of Cleveland, and giving him a good lesson.

He shouted toward the courtside spectators:

"You all should know, he doesn’t dare stand in front of me, he’s just that kind of scaredy-cat, a softie!"

The harsh mockery and ridicule assaulted the threshold of the Clevelanders on the scene; they couldn’t take it anymore. In the second half, when LeBron returned to the court, continuous chants came from the stands:

"LeBron, go guard that guy, don’t let him be so arrogant!"

"It’s on you now, LeBron, those two losers are no help, it’s up to you!"

"Limit him, LeBron, we all know your capabilities, go limit him!"

...

If it had been just one fan shouting, LeBron might have ignored it just like he had ignored that big-bearded white man earlier, but now, with continuous calls from the Clevelanders wanting him to face Su Wan, he could no longer ignore it!

This made him angry. The self-righteous Cleveland "Sky Dragon People" clearly didn’t consider him, a native of Akron, as "one of their own children"; they treated him as just "another"...

LeBron was absolutely certain that if he were a true Clevelander, the fans wouldn’t be demanding this from him; they would have "protected" him on public display.

However, he had to please these Clevelanders, as he was the "Son of Cleveland," a key to ensuring his base and maintaining influence, even though the Goodman Brothers said so. He thought these brothers were full of it—wasn’t he the "King," the eternal "Sun" wherever he was?

But even so, he still had to stand opposite Su Wan. He knew clearly that if he didn’t step up, soon, the boos would drown out the arena.

"You finally stopped running away, LeBron!" Su Wan looked at LeBron, who reluctantly stood in front of him, "Just to remind you, my goal tonight is 50 points, meaning, I’m going to score 17 points on your head!"

"@$#%#@ (Bullshit)!" LeBron muttered, but his expression turned a bit vague:

Su Wan had gone berserk in the first half, and he’d seen it all.

Could I really defend against someone like him?

Regardless, the first offensive possession belonged to the Cavaliers, and he needed to strike first!

Su Wan stared intensely at LeBron, his focus sharpened to an extreme. He was enjoying "unlimited shooting rights" under "The zone" mode tonight, which consumed a lot of physical fitness, but he had rested during halftime, and maintaining full power for another quarter was not a problem. In this state, he wasn’t afraid of LeBron’s straightforward, blunt type; he was more fearful of players like Kobe and Arenas, those with good skills or a combination of "shoot, drive, pass" threats.

Of course, such matchups were not only tricky for him to defend, but even Artest would struggle.

LeBron felt his start this time was excellent; he quickly closed the distance between him and Su Wan, then he reached out with his non-ball-hand, trying to hook around Su Wan’s body to pull him back, making it hard for him to interfere with his dribble.

To some extent, this was a legitimate use of "protecting ball hand."

But Su Wan adeptly avoided the swing of his "protecting ball hand," and suddenly stepping up close, he slapped and precisely stole the ball from LeBron’s hand.

As LeBron staggered, the ball also dropped behind him.

He frantically looked around for the ball, not knowing where Su Wan had slapped it to.

But he saw Su Wan, after stealing the ball, quickly turn around, heading right behind LeBron, secured the ball, and with a rapid burst of energy, dashed towards the Cavaliers’ basket.

At this moment, LeBron also reacted, immediately spreading his legs, desperately chasing in defense.

This was his forte.

At this moment, LeBron’s aura was fully unleashed.

Even with Su Wan in "The zone" mode, his explosive power still wasn’t comparable to LeBron James. He rushed forward like a furious Kentaro, visibly accelerating to close the gap between him and Su Wan.

He caught up!

Watching Su Wan about to take flight, LeBron’s eyes filled with the pleasure of imminent vengeance.

All the humiliation you gave me tonight, this time, I’ll return it all to you!

Then he moved...

As Su Wan was about to lift his hands under the basket, LeBron, with the quickest reaction speed of his life, leaped high.

However, when he jumped, he realized that Su Wan had only made a hand-lifting fake move, his feet hadn’t left the ground.

Running at such a speed but still being able to "hit the brakes" in time, LeBron didn’t know how he did it, but he did.

Do Nike shoes have this feature?

Why doesn’t he have it?

"Bang!"

It was only when his body began to fall that Su Wan jumped up high, right in front of him, over his head, and completed a "single-handed slam dunk."

At this dunk, the Cavaliers fans, who had just excitedly screamed as LeBron caught up to Su Wan, silently closed their mouths, pulled their hair, shut their eyes, and exclaimed "OMG!"

"There’s still 15 points!"

The Pacers’ bench exploded, with Artest continuously waving the white towel in his hand, as Su Wan threw back the points he still needed to score over LeBron’s head and quickly retreated.

A disheveled LeBron, filled with frustration, could only vent his anger on his teammates, "Hurry up with the pass, why is it coming now?"

Big Z was good-natured, and given his age, he always treated LeBron like a child, calmly accommodating him, "Don’t rush, LeBron..."

Usually, there would be another line,

"Take it slow, there will be opportunities!"

But tonight, he couldn’t deceive himself.

LeBron didn’t know what would happen with Su Wan in the future, but surely there was no chance tonight.

"Keep going, come on, continue LeBron, just one round, don’t chicken out so fast, let us keep going and let Clevelanders see what kind of City Son they really have!" Su Wan was extremely sarcastic.

LeBron dared not challenge him one-on-one anymore, as the recent "face-off" made it clear that Su Wan thoroughly understood his current moves.

This guy must have studied him behind the scenes!

Just for this day?

Damn!

LeBron probably misunderstood Su Wan.

He didn’t specifically study LeBron; he was battling Artest throughout the season.

Both essentially ball handlers, relying on physical fitness to bulldoze through, LeBron’s advantage over Artest was his greater explosive power, making him fiercer and faster.

But, it was still the same style of play.

Su Wan was not unfamiliar with it.

Artest even had more experience than LeBron.

Some might say, LeBron’s average of 27 points per season, but how much for Artest?

Sorry, Artest averaged 24.6 points before his suspension.

He had called for Big Z’s screen, but right then, Stephen Jackson quickly moved forward, and together with Su Wan, they formed an "early double team." LeBron, learning from the first encounter, quickly passed through the gap between the two to the screening Big Z.

The Lithuanian received the ball at a very awkward position for a center and then Tinsley swiftly intercepted it.

Pacers’ counterattack.

Stephen Jackson and Su Wan led the first line, along with Tinsley holding the ball, forming a "triangular offensive formation," while the only one defending for the Cavaliers was LeBron James.

In a "3 against 1" situation, after much thought, LeBron...

Stepped aside!

Su Wan completed the easy finish, glancing at LeBron: "13 more points!"

LeBron spread his hands towards his teammates:

Where are you guys?

How can I defend against three alone?

Seeing him like this, more and more Clevelanders felt despair, realizing tonight was going to be an utterly tragic night.

With 4 minutes and 13 seconds left in the third quarter, seeing Su Wan score again, Barkley glanced unconsciously at the stats: "The 41st point, this is Su Wan’s 41st point tonight, and LeBron... he’s only scored a mere 6 points... 41 to 6, my friends in the audience, what can I say? Su Wan is crushing LeBron, he’s annihilating Quicken Loans Arena!"
