Chapter 266: Chapter 163 What the Hell is Respect!_4

Since McGrady’s not playing with you anymore, it’s my turn!

The Houston fans continue to be moved...

They saw McGrady couldn’t do it and wanted to help him get his reputation back!

If this isn’t love...

Lock him down, you must lock him down!

The following time was Su Wan’s "bullfight" with Kobe, and to deal with Kobe in his prime, Su Wan had been in "The zone" since 6 minutes and 34 seconds into the second quarter. Luckily for Kobe today, he wasn’t at full power, compared to the "do or die" of the regular season, tonight he seemed to be enjoying the fight with Su Wan.

The intense bullfight between the two lasted most of the quarter, neither able to stop the other’s spectacular shots, providing great entertainment for the non-Rockets fans.

Awesome!

This is what they wanted to see at the All-Star Game!

Then Su Wan was subbed out; Kobe, still unsatisfied, started picking a bullfight with Wade.

When Su Wan was subbed out, the Eastern had a 10-point lead thanks to the edge he initially gained against McGrady, and his score was also the highest in the Eastern with 18 points. Maintain the current momentum, and the All-Star MVP trophy would be his tonight.

Therefore, when he left the court, a torrent of boos rang out.

The belated realization struck the Rockets, finally understanding what Su Wan was aiming for.

He wanted to do more than just make McGrady look foolish on the court—he wanted to lift the All-Star MVP trophy in Houston.

But...

Even if they knew, what could they do?

They could only respond with boos.

Yet, Su Wan, faced with these boos, still managed to smile and wave, not taking them seriously at all.

Just a few minutes later, the court finally had some comforting news for them; McGrady, who had just cowered against Su Wan, started scoring, and the Western managed to claw back some points before halftime, 76 to 80.

By the end of the half, the Western was only 4 points behind.

And McGrady had also reached the Western’s highest score of 16 points.

There’s still hope, there’s still hope!

The eyes of the Houston fans regained their sparkle.

"Come on, Tracy, don’t think about sneakily taking home the All-Star MVP trophy tonight; I won’t let you get away with it!"

Face your destiny!

McGrady!

You can’t escape!

Su Wan’s words, compared to the first half, were more direct, leaving no escape for McGrady.

He reluctantly stepped up to the challenge.

A huge cheer erupted from the crowd, the biggest cheer Su Wan had heard tonight.

Clearly, McGrady was the "Heavenly Destiny Man" the Houston people recognized; they were anticipating McGrady to stand up again, to defeat Su Wan, the seemingly powerful boss.

If all else fails, just another "Tracy moment," Tracy!

McGrady’s face showed even greater helplessness.

To him, these cheers seemed like a "death warrant," forcing him to grit his teeth and charge forward.

Close guard!

Hand-to-hand combat!

McGrady chose the defensive style that best expressed his attitude.

Su Wan, faced with his aggressive defense, kept adjusting his steps, then suddenly went into full-power sliding steps to create distance from McGrady.

McGrady didn’t expect Su Wan’s explosive power to be so terrifying this time and quickly shuffled sideways to block.

He was very clear that he couldn’t match Su Wan’s condition, so the only thing he could do now was to repay the crowd’s cheers with his attitude.

But as McGrady was rapidly sliding, Su Wan changed his footsteps, pulling off a "pull-back" returning to his original position. McGrady toppled to the ground after this smooth "pull-back."

Awkwardly watching as Su Wan completed an easy breakthrough beside him.

He even looked back at McGrady lying on the ground.

Mid-range jump shot, score.

In the audience, Rockets fans showed despair, some even clasping their heads with both hands, closing their eyes in agony.

This moment was not only McGrady’s darkest time but also the entire Houston’s darkest moment.

In the following time, Su Wan completely dominated McGrady.

The former two-time Scoring King was powerless against him.

With ease, he scored 18 points in the third quarter, and the Eastern All-Star Team built an 18-point lead.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, both teams played seriously for a few rounds, and when the point difference didn’t shrink, they returned to "entertainment mode," meaning the Western All-Star Team gave up the resistance.

At the end of the game, the Eastern All-Star Team won by 22 points, 143 to 121, over the Western All-Star Team.

With 43 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists, Su Wan was the highest scorer for the Eastern All-Star Team.

Naturally, he also secured the Houston All-Star MVP.

When he lifted the All-Star MVP trophy high, the venue immediately erupted into a flood of boos.

This feud was thoroughly established now.

But as far as Su Wan was concerned, this feud had been there for a long time.

And he had no intention of resolving this feud because his goal for this All-Star Game was to take the All-Star MVP, and then it was time for the much-anticipated "finishing move":

"Let me start my acceptance speech today with a piece of history that Houston has long cast from its memory!"

"Calling it history, though, it wasn’t that long ago!"

"Four years ago in May, this city got another No.1 pick, and they excitedly used it to draft the Little Giant from Huaxia."

"From that moment on, the whole world’s eyes were on Houston!"

"I don’t want to talk about what this player from Huaxia brought to Houston because I don’t know everything!"

"But one thing I’m sure of, if it weren’t for Yao’s arrival, this city wouldn’t have had the Toyota Center so soon, and all the fans would still be crammed into the old and broken Compaq Center!"
