Chapter 575: Chapter 235: The Night of Winning the Championship

Su Wan’s precise anticipation and steal had just widened the gap to 9 points.

The Lakers reached a critical possession.

If they didn’t score this time, with the deficit reaching more than 10 points, the game would turn considerably passive for them.

Everyone knew to whom the ball would be given in such a possession, including Su Wan.

He kept fighting for position in front of Kobe, who didn’t back down, trying his best to keep Su Wan behind him.

Their movements had grown so intense that even the referees on the sidelines couldn’t help but grip their whistles tightly.

Seeing that he could not shake Su Wan off, Kobe simply moved toward Fisher, who craftily ran towards Su Wan, setting for Kobe a "Vallejo Barrier." The referee glanced at the point difference and restrained himself.

Blowing the whistle now would be the end for the Lakers.

Kobe finally got the ball, facing Su Wan, he had to admit that this guy could no longer be treated as a newcomer. freёweɓnovel_com

The tight entanglement almost prevented him from catching the ball.

Kobe hadn’t felt such defensive pressure for many years.

Su Wan’s gaze was still like a fierce wolf, staying in Kobe’s face.

But once he had the ball, Kobe gradually took control, Su Wan tried to maintain his position with Kobe, but Kobe’s footwork was so meticulous that one could easily be thrown off guard and lose position.

Another...

The space created by the change in position would have been hard to ensure a successful shot for other players.

But Kobe’s mid-range "backstep" had really reached the level of Jordan. Maybe Kobe was a bit less clutch than Jordan at critical moments, but compared to other shooting guards, he was far ahead.

"Swish!"

Su Wan reached out in front of him, but the ball still obediently sank through the net.

Los Angeles fans, seeing the ball drop into the basket, were so excited they were nearly crying.

Thank goodness for Kobe!

Thank goodness for Kobe!

Pacers’ counterattack, Su Wan faked a reception but didn’t catch the ball.

The Pacers still had a variety of tactics to choose from.

After all, they had a considerable advantage.

When Shaquille O’Neal got the ball again, the Lakers’ inside defense didn’t dare to "Shark Cut" any longer. Kobe, standing on the same side, saw Shaquille O’Neal entering his dominant ball-handling mode and hurried to help Yao with the double team, but at that moment, Shaquille again turned into "Weber at the fifth position," passing the ball to an open Su Wan.

The Lakers had switched quickly, and Ariza, the small forward with exceptional innate talent, stretched out his hand towards Su Wan, but by the time his hand reached Su Wan’s face, the shot was already released and successfully scored.

Even without being in "The zone", Su Wan’s shots were already highly reliable.

Let alone now that Su Wan had activated "The zone"...

A 10-point difference!

A devastating three-point shot, directly calling a halt to the game.

Shaquille O’Neal ran up to Su Wan intentionally in front of Kobe to chest-bump but changed to a high-five in the face of Su Wan’s look that said, "Did you win the game? Are you that excited?"

Su Wan still didn’t bother reaching out.

But Shaquille O’Neal said, "Dude, you’re at 50 points! Isn’t that worth celebrating?"

Su Wan finally gave him some face.

"Smack!"

That crisp sound seemed to strike Kobe’s heart.

Cut!

Grinding his teeth, he walked towards the Lakers’ bench.

In the TNT studio, Barkley shouted, "50 points! Su Wan has broken through 50 points this game! OMG!"

Scoring 50 points in a single game was already a tough achievement, even more so on the NBA Finals stage.

In NBA history, only 5 players have done it.

This includes Bob Pettit, Jerry West, Rick Barry, Elgin Baylor, and... Michael Jordan!

And except for Michael Jordan, the other superstars were from the ancient times of basketball!

That shows how difficult scoring 50 points in modern times is!

And now just 2 minutes into the fourth quarter...

Su Wan might even surpass 50 points, aiming for 60, and breaking Mr. Baylor’s record of 61 points for the highest score in a Finals game wasn’t impossible.

Especially since it was done over Kobe!

Bear in mind, later fans who mentioned the peak period of the "Great General" Arenas, and his dominance, would often summarize it in one sentence:

He scored 60 points over Kobe!

This shows how difficult and extraordinary an achievement it is, so unique that it could represent a player’s peak period.

Inside the CCTV-5 studio, there was also an uproar.

Coach Zhang’s eyes popped in astonishment: "How many?"

He was simply enjoying the shootout between Su Wan and Kobe, not paying attention to their scores. Upon hearing that Su Wan had scored 50 points over Kobe, he was shocked...

As the former "Asian Barkley," their generation’s greatest aspiration was only to dominate Asia. The NBA was simply unthinkable for them, yet after decades of development, not only had a Huaxia player become a "three consecutive championships" ruler in the NBA, but he was also able to...

Eh?

It seemed that scoring 50 points in a game, even over Kobe, wasn’t something too surprising anymore.

He was Su Wan, who had established a Dynasty in the first three years of his career. Such a feat was only to be expected, wasn’t it?
