Chapter 659: Chapter 251 He Can’t Lose Anymore, and There’s No Reason to Lose Anymore!_5

The team core agreed, and the assistant coach thought it was good too...

What else could I possibly say?

D’Antoni nodded. "Let’s play it this way!"

To some extent, this could actually be considered strengthening the "three-point offense!"

It wasn’t against my philosophy!

Hmm...

But D’Antoni always felt like there was a lump in his chest, making him feel suffocated.

However, Su Wan didn’t care what he thought.

Frankly speaking, this was a clash of two philosophies.

The "Magic Ball" offensive philosophy, even for Su Wan from the year 2024, was still too advanced.

Don’t ask; just remember those 22 consecutive missed three-pointers that left a deep impression on Su Wan.

He couldn’t possibly bet everything on three-point shooting.

Plus...

He believed he could change D’Antoni’s mind.

This was his confidence as a "show-off."

If he really couldn’t change it, then it could only mean that D’Antoni and the New York Knicks head coach position weren’t meant to be.

Su Wan looked at Tyronn Lue, quite embodying the "posture of a head coach"!

The second half of the game continued.

Su Wan realized he had underestimated Chris Bosh.

He thought that if he could block Chris Bosh’s first step, he would be able to predict Chris Bosh’s path to the basket and limit him, but Chris Bosh’s ball-handling attack method was not limited to just driving.

His attacking options once he received the ball were too numerous:

Direct cut, catch-and-shoot, even "three threats" techniques...

And indeed, Chris Bosh’s mobility was of small forward level.

Unlike Nowitzki, as long as you gave him half a body position, it was hard to stop him from charging to the basket; even if his form was unstable, he could still complete the attack.

Artest found defending him very difficult.

But this style of play improved the mobility of the New York Knicks, and also, the help defense among them could be completed much faster.

Although Chris Bosh could score against Artest’s one-on-one defense, faced with the quicker help defense of the New York Knicks, he struggled a bit.

So, although it wasn’t exactly as Su Wan had intended, the tactical objective was still achieved.

That was good enough; it doesn’t matter if it’s a black cat or a white cat, a cat that catches mice is a good cat.

Also...

Stephen Curry, without needing the ball, indeed found his more familiar shooting rhythm.

Just that his shooting percentage hadn’t warmed up yet.

That was caused by multiple factors.

His driving ability was not as sharp as during his peak; he could only occasionally create impactful plays through breakthroughs, but that wasn’t enough to make the opponents specifically guard against his drives.

Especially not for a "talent-type head coach" like Spoelstra.

Another thing was that three-point shooting is a score technique with relatively large fluctuations in accuracy.

Even a strong player like Stephen Curry could only maintain a stable output of three-pointers during those two or three peak years; otherwise, his performance was more like "godly in one game, ghostly in three or four."

But he’s already one of the league’s top-tier three-point shooters, and historically so.

Looking at it this way, D’Antoni’s addiction to the high-risk, high-reward of three-pointers indeed makes him a complete gambler.

Aside from Su Wan and Wade, both sides didn’t have anyone who could consistently stand out and score.

That simplified the game...

Barkley said, "Now we’ll see whether Wade defeats Su Wan or Su Wan defeats Wade!"

Whoever could maintain their scoring form to the end would have the last laugh and take the victory.

Su Wan’s gaze grew fiercer.

He was in fierce form tonight, but so was Wade.

To suppress Wade, his current performance alone was not enough, which had him incessantly muttering in his mind:

I cannot lose, I absolutely cannot lose!

This was his debut, and no matter how difficult, he had to win the game.

His thoughts grew stronger, and Su Wan could feel that familiar sensation, but he was still just a bit short of fully activating it.

At that moment, his gaze turned toward the bench of the Heat Team and met LeBron’s smirking look, igniting a fierce disgust inside him, and then...

That familiar sensation completely erupted.

His eyes became even sharper!

"The zone"!

Activated!

Wade also felt the Su Wan in front of him turning fiercer.

Like a beast set on killing.

He knew...

Su Wan had entered "The zone".

But today, he came to spoil the show!

Before the game, Su Wan’s grand opening, along with the "star-studded" sidelines, showed Chris Bosh the extreme influence of a top-tier player and ignited Wade’s competitive spirit.

He knew Su Wan had become a high mountain he needed to climb.

Now with Chris Bosh, an All-Star level helper, he could not afford to lose again and had no reason to!

Even against Su Wan, tonight he would leave with a victory!

Almost in a situation with no space for attack, Wade, under pressure from Su Wan, completed a mid-range jump shot.

The moment the ball went in...

The crowd in the stands watched him fall and roll twice, but the ball still went into the basket, they couldn’t help but let out a low whistle:

Amazing explosion!
