Chapter 689: Chapter 257: Do you think I’m on the same level as LeBron James?_5

"No matter how many people are still out there, listen up!"

"This season in New York!"

"Don’t come challenging us!"

With Su Wan’s last words, cheers completely erupted at Madison, ignited Times Square, and set the whole of New York ablaze. The crowd that had been somewhat controllable completely lost it, storming into various stores and beginning a frenzied "free-for-all" shopping spree.

The streets were so chaotic that the police started calling for "backup."

But none of this had anything to do with Su Wan.

He finished speaking and walked toward the home team’s tunnel.

The host didn’t stop him for more interviews. Everything he wanted to ask was already summed up in Su Wan’s speech. Keeping Su Wan at the sidelines would have been superfluous—a seasoned host wouldn’t do such a thing.

Indeed, this was the right choice, because a splendid scene unfolded next:

As Su Wan reached the home team’s tunnel, a waiting Dolan immediately kneeled, his excited demeanor as if he truly met God.

Journalists on-site also whipped out their cameras to capture the moment.

Su Wan didn’t pay them any attention, either. He headed straight for the locker room. All reporters except for Erin were blocked by security.

They could only snap photos of Su Wan’s retreating figure.

Meanwhile, at the Miami Arena.

The Heat Team’s game tonight was also entering the final moments, with a very tight score difference—they were just 3 points behind their rivals. They had possession of the ball next, and seizing the opportunity meant they could surely win tonight’s game.

LeBron sat, gasping for breath on the bench. He had the ball for the majority of the game, but during critical moments, he passed it to Wade. So despite not being at his best tonight, he still managed to get "near triple-double" stats of 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Those stats shone brightly.

Now, all he had left to do was:

Win the game!

As long as they won, the days of media pressure could be reversed in an instant.

And he was well aware that New York had a game tonight; during their halftime break, he had specifically checked on the New York game’s progress. By halftime, Su had scored 30 points, but his team was still 10 points behind.

Clearly, Su Wan was likely to score high tonight and then lose the game.

If he scored a "massive triple-double," and the Heat Team won...

LeBron almost laughed out loud.

He could see the opportunity for a turnaround in public opinion.

That filled him with energy, as if he had endless strength.

"Bzzz!"

The buzzer sounded, and LeBron walked onto the court.

As he passed two reporters, he overheard one say to the other, "Did you hear? Su Wan scored 83 points tonight and led his team to victory!"

"Eighty-three points?"

LeBron’s steps halted, the shock evident in his bulging eyes.

The two reporters instinctively took a step back:

LeBron looked like he was about to devour someone!

Frightening!

"You just said Su Wan scored how many points?"

"8, 83 points..."

"..."

LeBron froze.

How could that be possible?

He had only 30 points in the first half...

Which meant he scored 53 in the second half?

After a quick mental calculation, LeBron took a deep breath. Just the score alone made his heart churn.

Most importantly...

He heard that in the end, Su Wan won?

Did he truly single-handedly accomplish an "extreme comeback"...

Damn it, does God favor him that much?

LeBron felt the pressure immediately.

He knew very well that whenever Su Wan had a good night, the next day he would be the one most scrutinized and mocked.

It had been proven time and again.

Now with Su Wan scoring 83 points and winning the game, his "near triple-double" would definitely not be enough; he must lead his team to victory. Otherwise, he didn’t even dare to think about tomorrow’s headlines.

They had to win!

They had to win!

They must win!

LeBron’s resolve hardened once again, but his expression now revealed less confidence and a touch of unnaturalness.

The game resumed, and just as the ABC commentator finished saying, "Tonight is the Heat Team’s best chance of a win in January," he saw LeBron make a passing turnover, which handed the ball directly to the opposition.

The opponent, after a moment’s hesitation, quickly launched a counterattack. Despite LeBron’s committing a foul, he could not stop the opponent from scoring.

An and-one play!

Heat Team’s home fans couldn’t help but hold their heads.

Following that, LeBron dribbled in for a breakthrough, hoping to save face. This time he successfully drew a foul, but unfortunately, he missed both free throws at the line.

The clock dipped below 24 seconds, and Coach Spoelstra, out of options, resorted to a fouling strategy. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

LeBron made another passing error, sealing the fate of the game.

The ABC commentator was stunned.

Did LeBron... really not want to win that badly?
