Chapter 691: Chapter 258 LeBron’s Last Chance_2

Haslem had been keeping an eye on the situation, and when LeBron charged at Chalmers, he rushed over too, hoping to break up the fight.

Of course, it looked like he was intervening, but in reality, he mainly held onto LeBron to let Chalmers get his licks in.

LeBron had heard rumors about being traded by the team, and it seemed those rumors were not unfounded.

The reason being that as a mobile power forward, his height was inadequate and he lacked the weight to set high-quality screens for LeBron.

When he first heard about it, he didn’t say anything, but it did make him feel uncomfortable.

This discomfort, after Chalmers stood up for him, caused his behavior to become biased.

Chalmers’s scolding felt so satisfying.

And everything he said made sense.

The Heat Team hadn’t won a single game all January because of you, and you still have complaints about us?

We even reached first place in the Eastern Conference while you were suspended!

You’re back now, and we haven’t won a single game.

Isn’t it obvious whose problem this is?

No wonder you let Su Wan be your lackey back in Cleveland!

Wade tried to intervene, but the three men’s gestures were too vigorous, and by himself, he truly couldn’t hold them back, only shouting from the side, "Stop fighting, stop it already, hold back!"

The Heat Team’s locker room was in chaos, as disorderly as the streets of New York.

Sirens blared all night.

The next morning, Su Wan drove to Madison Square Garden, and the sight along the way could only be described as a complete mess.

Tuning into the news broadcast, it was all about his 83-point performance the night before.

Just listening to those broadcasts, he could imagine the extent of today’s coverage.

But it wasn’t until he sat down in a café next to the arena and browsed the news that he realized his imagination had been conservative regarding his scoring of 83 points in a single game.

First was the New York Times, which outright called it "the greatest performance in modern basketball history!"

The timeline they covered spanned from the 1980s to this season...

This meant that in their view, this game was more shocking than any of Michael Jordan’s past games, including Kobe’s "Dragon-Slaying Night."

They had their reasons.

First, they ruled out Michael Jordan, summarizing with one sentence:

"Jordan never had an 80-point performance in a single game!"

Not to mention Jordan’s fans, even Michael Jordan himself had no fxxks to give at this moment.

Then, when comparing to Kobe’s "Dragon-Slaying Night," they said:

"We all know just how weak the Raptors Kobe faced that year were, while the Dallas team that Su Wan confronted was different; they were third in the Western Conference, and last night Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry both performed above their usual level!"

Dirk ended up scoring 42 points, and Jason Terry bagged 25 points.

And their typical averages were 23 points and 15.8 points per game, respectively...

But while they put on a "divine performance," Su Wan transformed into the "God of Basketball" and completely shattered them.

This was the epitome of an individual performance.

"To meet strength with strength, to surpass gods when facing them," his performance could be described in just three words:

Awesome to the extreme!

Apart from the New York Times, Sports Illustrated also expressed their intention to photograph Su Wan for a new cover soon: Ascension to Divinity!

They too believed that this game cemented Su Wan’s divine status.

After this battle, no one could question Su Wan’s ability as a top historical scorer.

Previously, some media thought that since Su Wan hadn’t scored over 60 points in a regular-season game, he couldn’t be termed "a historical scorer": "We don’t deny Su Wan’s big-hearted ability in clutch moments, but does this mean he needs his teammates to perform sufficiently in standard times, dragging the game to the last moments for him to make a one-stroke decision!"

This view was endorsed by numerous media outlets.

Because that was Su Wan’s current play style.

Now, however, this game proved that Su Wan usually let his teammates play during regular times and took over in clutch and final moments to provide them with a stage to excel.

If no teammate could stand out in regular times, then he would just do it all himself!

points!

An unprecedented achievement!

Barkley immediately said, "I am now utterly convinced that at some point in the future, Su Wan will surpass Michael Jordan to become the symbol of this league!"

Kenny Smith remarked, "You can’t imagine where Su Wan’s limit lies. I thought his ceiling last night was 60 points, but he ended up scoring 80! We’ll have to wait until the end of his career to see his true limits. However, one thing is certain; Michael Jordan, you need to start accepting your status as the second best in history!"

Bill Walton commented, "This is a guy who could be successful in any era. He’s just incredible."

At first glance, Bill Walton’s praise may not seem as enthusiastic as the others.

But it’s important to realize there is a hierarchy of contempt in this league.

And the old-timers tend to look down on the newer generation.

For example, Chamberlain believed Michael Jordan wouldn’t have succeeded in their era, Shaquille O’Neal thought he could average 50 points in the "Small Ball Era," and McGrady and others believed Allen Iverson could have averaged 40 points a game in the same era...

The disdain reflected in this hierarchy stems from the changes in the rules, the loosening up for perimeter players, and stringent control of physical confrontations, making the "Small Ball Era" seem "effeminate." But you can’t say these changes are wrong.
