Chapter 695: Chapter 259 They Fouled! They Fouled!
The venue tonight was glittering with stars.
This was Su Wan’s first game after his outstanding 83-point performance.
Many celebrities came, attracted by his fame.
In addition to Ivanka, there were several other familiar faces. After pondering, oh, Erin must have replaced some old photos.
No wonder everyone looked at him with a hint of resentment.
Also, Kim Kardashian, who had been explicitly rejected by Su Wan, was there again, sitting next to her 16-year-old sister, Kendall Jenner.
Another "Best Defensive Player Award" recipient.
A press that many NBA players could not break.
Su Wan had long been famous.
Kim Kardashian caught Su Wan’s glance, her eyebrow lifted in pleasure as she turned to Jenner, "Great, Kendall, it looks like Su Wan is interested in you!"
Although Jenner was only 16, she had started filming "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in 2007, and growing up with Kim Kardashian, she was no ordinary 16-year-old girl.
She was very mature and knew exactly what she wanted:
to become a socialite like Kim Kardashian.
Therefore, the path Kim Kardashian had walked was the one she was set to follow.
And surely, Kim Kardashian had told Jenner from her own experiences:
Kissing up to wealthy heiresses served no purpose; sports circles full of muscular, simple-minded "big blacks" were the best "stepping stones" to attain fame.
As for the hottest "Superstar," it was undoubtedly Su Wan.
Early in his career, because he had been in Indiana, his privacy off the court was well-protected, making people think he was someone without scandals.
However, in that game against the Lakers, the scene "three women serving one husband" revealed to everyone that Su Wan was a "player."
Jenner was confident about her looks and believed she could spark something with Su Wan.
Desire filled her eyes.
What she hadn’t noticed was that there were quite a few women in the spectators’ seats with the same look in their eyes.
To these women, Su Wan was now what "Tang Monk’s flesh" was to monsters in the legends.
A bite would set their fame skyrocketing!
The game soon began.
The big screen displayed the starting lineups for both teams.
Stephen Curry and Danilo Gallinari having returned, the New York Knicks’ lineup was back to their early-season form.
On the Heat Team’s side:
"Point guard Chalmers, two Allen Iverson, small forward LeBron, power forward Chris Bosh, and five David Lee."
This lineup...
Replacing Chalmers would make it a "Five All-Star lineup."
And yet, they hadn’t won any games in January!
Truly miraculous!
That must be Old Zhan’s charm!
Tyson Chandler successfully jumped for the ball.
Su Wan, holding the ball, faced Wade, and immediately called for Artest’s "Cross Movement."
When Wade came closer, Artest set a pick and roll, successfully bringing Su Wan in front of LeBron.
LeBron’s first reaction was to hesitate, not daring to move forward.
Seeing that Wade couldn’t get through, he grudgingly approached to defend.
There was progress.
In the Knight, he would have likely clung to Artest, not caring about anyone else.
Would’ve never come in front of Su Wan.
At least now he was okay with switching defence.
But with his current situation, he really couldn’t afford to be as whimsical as before...
Facing LeBron, Su Wan decisively called for everyone to clear out, then with an "in&out" move, he shook him off to the side, drew his bow, and shot, reliably nailing the three-point shot.
"Solid, so solid!"
Bill Walton had long felt that Su Wan’s ball handling and three-point shooting had improved massively since last season.
It was as if...
he was a three-point shooting Michael Jordan!
The crowd exploded instantly!
No help, after scoring 83 points in the last game, any score by Su Wan, even a simple mid-range shot, would cause a huge stir on the sidelines.
And this shot was not ordinary.
Su Wan had made a three-pointer right over LeBron.
Given the history between the two, it was enough to cause huge cheers from the viewing stands.
Heat Team quickly counterattacked, Chalmers passed the ball to Wade, Wade gave it to LeBron, who had just caught the ball when Artest moved up to defend.
A fierce smile on his face.
As if saying:
"Little darling, I’ve been waiting for you!"
Artest knew very well, his role was to defend players like LeBron.
That was where his value lay.
Putting it simply, just like Tyronn Lue got a big contract for defending Allen Iverson, Artest’s max contract value was shown by defending LeBron James.
LeBron instinctively called for a pick and roll.
But whether it was David Lee or Chris Bosh, the effectiveness of a front line pick and roll wasn’t great.
Small forwards by themselves were already not much weaker than inside players in terms of size and strength, so the body’s broad shoulders were needed to create sufficient separation.
Unfortunately, neither Chris Bosh nor David Lee had such characteristics.
Instead, Tyson Chandler and Artest came up early to double-team LeBron.
Seeing he was about to be trapped, LeBron immediately jumped up to pass, intending to give it to Bosh, who had set the screen.
The movement was too exaggerated, allowing Artest to make a steal right in front of him.
A panicked LeBron tried to intercept, his elbow directly aiming for Artest’s face.
