Chapter 419: Chapter 203 Goodnight Kobe_5

Fisher steadied the ball, but out of the corner of his eye caught sight of the score difference, and still didn’t dare to take the shot. Odom received the ball at midcourt, turned, and his jump shot was disrupted by young O’Neal.

The ball "clang" resonated, striking the backboard and dropping straight out.

"Heavens!"

Almost simultaneously, two loud yells rang out.

Kobe and Su Wan collided in midair, but ultimately it was Su Wan who, with longer reach and bigger hands, snatched the rebound.

"Get back on defense!"

Phil Jackson shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

Good god...

Another fast break led by Su Wan, driving a head coach insane.

Su Wan noticed that the Pacers’ speed in transition was obviously faster than the Lakers’, so he simply accelerated, heading straight for a breakthrough under the basket.

Kobe, as the first line of defense, went to intercept...

Faced with his "Sliding Step," Su Wan could only use his secret technique:

No Deceleration Change!

The move that had left Wade dumbfounded before, but this time, Kobe seemed to know he would use it, reacting in advance, stepping back to maintain his position in front of Su Wan.

"Clang!"

A perfect defense; Su Wan didn’t expect that, even using his "Seven Injuries Fist," he was unable to shake Kobe.

Fortunately for the Pacers, they had more men pushing the pace, and young O’Neal secured the ball possession, passing it to Su Wan.

At this point, all the Lakers had retreated, and with no chance for a fast break, Su Wan simply steadied the ball, taking a bit more time off the clock.

The last 15 seconds, a 2-point difference, the chance for a "one-stroke decision."

Every fan in the stands stood up, hands clasped to their chests, praying for Su Wan to save Indiana once more.

Kobe took up a defensive stance, like a beast ready to hunt.

Su Wan was his prey.

Young O’Neal stepped up ready to set a screen, but Su Wan waved him off.

"Su Wan is going to take Kobe one-on-one!" Barkley exclaimed.

David Stern, upon seeing this, leaned forward, eager to know the real-time TV ratings at this moment. And indeed, a staff member rushed into his office at this very moment: "David, 30 million!"

Erin, at the scene, had already positioned herself for a photo, ready for what she believed would be a moment destined to become historical.

Under the gaze of 30 million American fans, Su Wan watched the clock dip below the final 7 seconds and began to close in on Kobe.

As soon as Kobe was approached, he leaned in towards him.

Su Wan made a diagonal forceful breakthrough, accelerating in an instant, the two grappling all the way to the three-point line.

In the moment Su Wan stepped on the three-point line, Kobe’s level of focus peaked... He had to decide whether Su Wan was playing for overtime or aiming to end the game outright.

As Su Wan’s center of gravity sank lower and his body continually leaned forward, nearly shaking off Kobe entirely, Kobe was convinced Su Wan wanted 2 points and immediately shifted his weight backwards.

It was then that Su Wan suddenly pulled back his center of gravity, executing a highly challenging and broad Body Front Change along with a step back, retreating beyond the three-point line.

"Wow!"

Just this technical move was enough to leave Barkley speechless.

What kind of superior athletic ability was required to do such a thing?

Kobe, too, realized he had been tricked, and as he tried to recover, already falling backwards, his footing got jumbled and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Shaken!

"OMG!"

Not only Barkley but even the fans at the scene got excited, their faces showing wild enthusiasm.

Everyone knew what this meant, but there was one condition:

Su Wan had to hit the following shot.

Su Wan...

Adjusted his center of gravity, caught the ball, and after a quick glance to make sure his toes hadn’t crossed the line, he raised his hand and released the three-point shot.

Erin watched in her camera as Su Wan leaped, catching the peak moment of the release by rapidly pressing the shutter button.

It was a photo strikingly similar to Michael Jordan’s last shot.

Only the background for Michael Jordan’s shot was the look of despair on the faces of the Salt Lake City fans.

And the background for Su Wan’s shot was the feverish excitement of the Indiana fans.

This is probably what being a god is like, casting despair upon enemies and granting eternal life to believers...

Su Wan’s shot swished through the net.

The entire Conseco erupted into a sea of cheers.

At that moment, the only sound you could hear was the ecstatic howling of the Indiana natives.

As the ball dropped through the net, the red light on the backboard lit up.

This meant the Lakers had no chance for retaliation.

Not only was Kobe left sprawling on the ground, but the entire Lakers team as well...

"Kobe, don’t try to show off in front of me, this is the price!" Su Wan casually gestured a "goodnight" to Kobe, who was still seated on the floor.

Barkley knew on seeing this gesture...

Su Wan was about to become infamous for yet another celebration move.
