Chapter 265: Chapter 163 What the Hell is Respect!_3

"Pang!"

"Pang!"

"Pang!"

The continuous confrontation, McGrady, known for his fluid moves, ended up making a very stiff shot.

"Clang!"

A miss!

Little O’Neal secured the rebound and immediately passed it to Su Wan.

The camera swiftly swept across the audience, revealing many Houston fans not looking as excited anymore.

They were disappointed with McGrady’s consecutive one-on-one misses.

Having the ball, Su Wan wasn’t in a hurry to attack. His goal was not only to score but also to keep humiliating McGrady, to provoke the Houston crowd and media – that was what he really wanted to do.

So...

"Come on, Tracy!"

He called out again beyond the three-point line.

His aggressive demeanor made McGrady so annoyed and angry inside that it seemed he might wake up from his sleep in the middle of the night after the game ended, cursing, "Isn’t this guy sick?"

McGrady couldn’t help but ask, "We don’t seem to have any problems between us, right?"

In his memory, he barely exchanged a few words with Su Wan.

Su Wan acknowledged, "We don’t have any problems, but this city’s media do, and the fans of this city do. Since you’re the leader they put forward, you should bear all this!"

This was a case of "fans act out, and the idol pays the price!"

McGrady had nothing to say in return; he couldn’t admit that he wasn’t the leader of Houston.

But, understanding Su Wan’s anger, he defended even more actively.

He had no choice; if he lost, Su Wan would shamelessly ridicule Houston, and the local media and fans would vent their frustrations on him.

He had to fight back.

But currently, due to his knee issues, he simply couldn’t match Su Wan’s pace.

With continuous dribbling in front of him and footwork adjustments, Su Wan left McGrady behind. Just as he was about to finish the play with a slam dunk, Kevin Garnett swooped in from the side to block, creating a disturbance. Unable to dunk, Su Wan, with no open teammates, tossed the ball towards the hoop.

"Pang!"

Little O’Neal, as expected, completed the "alley-oop dunk."

This dunk elicited quite the gasp from the crowd.

Yet, Rockets fans looked conflicted, finding the dunk impressive but refraining from cheering since Su Wan had assisted it.

Su Wan looked at Kevin Garnett before him: "Kevin, it seems like you really want me to remember you!"

He had already noticed that the "Wolf King" was very enthusiastic about helping out on defense.

However, he had never had any dealings with Kevin Garnett, let alone any grudges. Given tonight’s atmosphere, he should have stayed invisible like Steve Nash, rather than jump out and make his presence known like the "crazy" Kobe.

And, if truth be told, Kobe had a reason to make a scene. Su Wan had trashed him enough to even call him by his name backwards. Even if he had to teach him a lesson tonight, Su Wan would’ve called it:

Justified!

Su Wan was not someone who only allowed himself to retaliate against others but disallowed others to return the favor. That would be too "Tang San."

But Kevin Garnett’s actions seemed like intentional, unprovoked targeting.

Garnett responded dismissively to his comment, "Rookie, I’m just letting you know that it’s not your turn to take charge at the All-Star stage. Don’t get too cocky!"

Su Wan nodded, his gaze sharpening: "Fine, Kevin. We’ll have our chance. We have one more regular-season game to play!"

With that said, he turned his attention back to McGrady. Disappointingly for him that Western Conference round, McGrady didn’t take the ball but allowed other superstars to take the chance.

Steve Nash charged to the basket, assisting Yao Ming for a slam dunk.

What was interesting, though, was that even after Yao finally scored, there was no cheer from the crowd.

Even Yao himself was stunned.

Is this even my home court anymore?

It was simply...

Sorry for the "guilt by association"!

The Houston fans were ready to cheer, but when they saw Su Wan smiling and giving Yao a thumbs up, they immediately held back their enthusiasm.

McGrady had given up the ball, which seemed like he was avoiding the limelight, making the Rockets fans feel stifled.

Facing Su Wan’s taunting with the ball, McGrady’s lack of response made them feel as sick as if they’d eaten feces.

Some Rockets fans lost all mood for enjoying this pleasant All-Star Weekend.

It’s like...

Why don’t you dare stand up to him!

Tracy, where’s your fighting spirit?

Many Rockets fans were disappointed last year during the Western Conference Finals as they felt Yao Ming lacked fighting spirit. After his teammate was seriously injured by Bruce Bowen, he only issued a few condemnatory statements post-game without taking any real action.

And now, they suddenly realized that McGrady was just like Yao, lacking spirit as well!

Facing Su Wan’s provocation, he only lasted two rounds before he started playing "turtle," which the Houston supporters found very hard to accept.

Su Wan’s performance continued; McGrady’s backing down didn’t mean the humiliation of the city was over.

But the moment Kobe saw McGrady reluctant to defend Su Wan, he was eager to step up in front of Su Wan, looking eager to try something, as if to say:
