Chapter 576: Chapter 235 Night of the Championship_2

One can only say that scoring 50 points in a single finals game is indeed impressive, but when compared to a "three consecutive championships" Dynasty, it’s not enough!

Su Wan had only achieved something that with his ability, he should have achieved long ago!

Anyway, this is what Reggie Miller said on the ABC commentary booth, "If there’s one player who would break Elgin Baylor’s finals single-game record, then I believe, that person is Su Wan!"

But this message completely irritated Kobe.

When the timeout ended and he returned to the court, his eyes saw nothing but the basket.

Su Wan tried his best to stop him from getting the ball, but it felt like riding an untamed wild horse; he tried to control his butt and center of gravity but still wasn’t careful enough and got tossed aside.

Kobe got the ball, raised his hand and it was a three-point shot!

The ball went in!

The entire court erupted.

Su Wan wiped the corner of his mouth where Kobe’s fingernail had scraped him, his eyes also brimming with sharpness.

Good, fierce enough, wild enough!

Appetizing!

"Kobe’s score has also exceeded 40 points..." Kenny Smith commented on Kobe’s current score.

He had a strong premonition that this game would become the first in NBA history to feature two players scoring over 50 points in the finals.

No...

Su Wan might even go higher!

plus!

Pacers’ offensive round.

Su Wan received the ball in the middle of a Cross Movement, Kobe quickly dodged the charging Billups, and in less than a second, he was back on Su Wan. Without any unnecessary Fake Moves, Su Wan, holding the ball, charged into Kobe. With a "Bull Charge", he directly pushed Kobe aside. The motion of looking up at the basket successfully fooled the nearby Paul Gasol.

"Toot!"

"Smack!"

The ball was slapped away by Kobe, but Su Wan drew Paul Gasol’s 5th foul of the game.

Even Phil Jackson was a bit unsettled now.

Paul Gasol’s foul made the already precarious situation of the Lakers’ inside line even more unstable, turning it into a building on the verge of collapse.

Su Wan made both free throws amidst the booing of the entire stadium and glanced at Paul Gasol.

Gasol was a bit shaky.

Bad!

He was coming for him.

Because of this, Kobe became eager; his desire to attack the Pacers’ basket intensified.

But in the end, he managed to push away Su Wan, yet faced with Shaquille O’Neal and Zach Randolph, he twisted his "historically strong waist", and despite rotating the ball, couldn’t evade Randolph’s outstretched hand.

However, the slapped away ball eventually fell back into Kobe’s hands.

He grabbed the ball, went for a Second Attack, and still managed to make the shot.

Lucky Lakers fans let out a sigh of relief.

Paul Gasol, however, took a deep breath and it hung in his chest.

Indeed, Su Wan charged directly at him with the ball.

Paul Gasol looked at Kobe, who was still sticking to Su Wan, wanting to help Kobe with a double-team but afraid that the moment he moved forward, he would commit another foul.

That would mean he’d be out of the game.

This was a game crucial to the Lakers’ "life and death", and the pressure on him was several times greater than usual. It was this pressure that made his movements a bit stiff.

In the end, it was Yao Ming who stepped up to cover for him.

Su Wan, about to become like a trapped beast in a cage.

But at that moment, his entire being’s gaze turned resolute, and after holding his breath with a grunt, he leaped up.

Kobe was stunned...

They had been battling all the way from the three-point line to under the basket. He was already out of energy; even his last jump needed more power, but Su Wan...

His entire body soared like a rocket launching.

The sudden sensation of escaping gravity, could this really be the same Su Wan who had been dueling with him all along?

Yao watched as Su Wan’s height "spiked", the whole person launching up right before him and was momentarily stunned.

Then...

"Bang!"

Full Power Su Wan, muscling up all his strength, faced the defending Yao Ming head-on, did not dodge, and completed a jaw-dropping "dunk"!

The impacted Yao staggered for a moment, Su Wan too didn’t have an easy time; although he dunked the ball over Yao, the recoil also made him stagger to the ground.

But...

The image of full-force impact had already rendered the spectators silent.

They looked at Su Wan as if they were seeing a Monster!

David Stern was so shocked he had nothing to say.

This was...

"The game-killing shot!"

Barkley didn’t think such an impactful dunk wouldn’t affect the Lakers’ mentality.

But he was quickly proven wrong...

The rest of the Lakers might be impacted.

But Kobe...

Wouldn’t!

This instead fueled Kobe’s fiercer fighting spirit.

He received the ball in the backcourt and, while continuously clashing with Su Wan, dribbled to the frontcourt, gritting his teeth and moving to the right-side high Sweet Spot. Nearly with Su Wan’s hand blocking his eyes, he shot the ball into the basket.

"The Lakers, haven’t given up yet!" Bill Walton shouted. He was very clear about how difficult that last shot from Kobe had been.

The "Mamba spirit" shone brightly at this moment.

The performance of Su Wan and Kobe since the start of the fourth quarter made him more convinced of what he had said.

This is indeed a great "Century Duel"!

The past decade of the NBA ending with such a duel is the best reward to basketball fans all over the world!

"There will never be two players as great as them!"

"Even if there are, there will never be moments like this again!"
