Chapter 673: Chapter 254: What level are you, and what level is Su Wan? Are you qualified to have a conflict with him? _4

Now, Vince Carter’s signing with the New York Knicks was down to just one last difficult issue, which was the attitude of the Phoenix Suns’ general manager.

When LeBron James saw this news, he felt a bit annoyed, even though he didn’t know exactly what Shaquille O’Neal had said to Vince Carter, but he had a hunch it was related to him.

Damn Shaq!

LeBron announced that his disdain for Shaq had now almost reached the level of his disdain for Gilbert.

Upon hearing the news, New York was naturally excited—the New York Times revisited the peak of Shaquille O’Neal’s career and praised him as the most dominant "five" of the NBA ’00s, a position in NBA history second to none.

Shaquille O’Neal retweeted the article, humility in his comment: "No way, I still have a long way to go!"

On December 13th, the New York Knicks faced the Golden State Warriors.

Stephen Curry, coming face-to-face with Jennings again, showed an uncommon fighting spirit right from the game’s outset.

There was no helping it, as Jennings had scored 55 points over him, gaining a reputation close to that of a historical-level rookie. That was Jennings’s honor as well as Stephen Curry’s shame.

Don’t be fooled by Stephen Curry’s baby face; his competitive spirit absolutely should not be underestimated.

It’s just that he’s accustomed to keeping his emotions inside, rather than showing them.

He’s a reserved person.

But this game, he let those emotions show.

That’s what Su Wan had told him:

Sometimes, you need to let your opponent see your attitude!

Jennings remained arrogant before the game, and when speaking of Stephen Curry, he dared to say directly: "I got 55 points in front of that guy, so stop comparing him with me. My rightful comparison should be with Su Wan!"

Well...

That’s Jennings for you.

In the ’09 draft, he boldly claimed he was the strongest guard of the ’09 class.

His arrogance peaked after scoring 55 points in a single game.

Especially under Old Nelson’s "run-and-gun system," Jennings, in his sophomore year, managed to score an average of 23.4 points, feeling even more like somebody important.

Su Wan didn’t pay attention to Jennings, and Stephen Curry used this as motivation; he was on fire in this game and under Su Wan’s assists, he shot 7 three-pointers, scoring a season-high of 31 points.

And in this game, Jennings scored just 11 points.

After the game, Stephen Curry felt much more confident.

Clearly, he had broken through a nightmare of his own making.

With his confidence boosted, Curry’s performances stabilized, consecutively hitting 3 three-point shots in three games, providing ample firepower from outside.

Stephen Curry expressed that Su Wan really knew how to lead the people around him to perform better.

And as Stephen Curry began to perform well, the New York Knicks went on to claim a season-high "5-game winning streak."

On December 20th, the New York Knicks welcomed their second battle with the Heat Team.

This time it was on the Heat Team’s home court.

Miami media placed great importance on this game:

First, the Heat Team had just lost to the New York Knicks at the start of the season, and they sought revenge; secondly... the Bulls had entered the second month of the season even stronger, with the Heat Team leading the Bulls by just one victory.

The Bulls also had a game today.

If the Heat Team lost today and the Bulls won, then the two teams’ records would be even.

So, although it seemed like a revenge match against the Knicks, in reality, it was a big battle for the Heat Team to maintain the top spot.

And if you bring up the decade-old grudge between the Heat Team and the Knicks, well...

Victory was the only option.

The whole of Miami was permeated with the smell of gunpowder.

Wade declared before the game: "We have to defend our home court!"

Chris Bosh said: "We must win this game, it means a lot to us!"

Only LeBron James kept repeating in his heart:

Don’t win, don’t win, please don’t win!

Presently, the Heat Team was in full bloom, everyone seemingly forgetting that it wasn’t just Chris Bosh who joined the Heat Team in the summer but also LeBron James himself. All eyes were on Wade and Bosh, as if with these two, the Heat Team had a bright future.

Now, all he could rely on were the New York Knicks and the Bulls.

As long as the Bulls surpassed the Heat Team, as long as the New York Knicks won against the Heat Team again, then Miami People would look forward to his comeback!

He’d had enough of being overlooked!

Right...

Even if the New York Knicks had crushed him for 6 years, leading to his disgrace, even if the Bulls had delivered the shameful "Black Eight" defeat with Derek Rose, as long as the Bulls and Knicks could help him out of his predicament, he could cheer for those two.

Friends may come and go, but the "Chosen One" stands tall forever!

God only knows if God heard his words.

Even though the Heat Team was fully energized for this game, they just couldn’t find their rhythm at the start, allowing the New York Knicks to take control comfortably, leading by 8 points with a 15-7 at halfway through the first quarter.

Then, they firmly controlled the tempo, keeping the lead around 8 points.

The Heat Team’s efforts prevented the gap from widening further, but even keeping the margin to the end, the New York Knicks could still laugh last.

108-98, the New York Knicks defeated the Heat Team by a 10-point advantage yet again.
