"Ah? He just got blocked?"
Curry's eyes widened. "I know Evans, his physical talent is explosive, and he's hard for most people to stop.
But Su Yan did well.
In one defensive possession, he blocked Evans twice one-on-one, one of which was a brutal block that sent him sprawling.
What ferocious defense!"
"Holy shit!"
Tyson Chandler dropped his jaw. "I thought Yan was going to be the background, but he actually chased back.
What amazing leaping ability!"
"This chase-down block, holy crap~"
McGrady covered his eyes, unable to watch, and even blurted out an elegant 'national essence,' clearly learned from Yao Ming.
Blocks are blocks, and surprises are surprises.
The game continued, and the basketball that hit the floor was secured by McGrady, who had followed up.
He passed it to Curry, who had rushed to the frontcourt.
After landing, Su Yan glanced at the disheveled Evans below him, but didn't say any trash talk.
However.
At this moment, silent mockery is more hurtful than spoken words.
"Shit!"
Evans cursed under his breath, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
Fortunately, the game continued, and he quickly got up, pretending not to care, and immediately returned to defense.
In the frontcourt.
Kevin Martin chased aggressively, disrupting Curry's one-man fast break and direct attack on the rim.
No rush.
Settle into position.
He watched David Lee position himself under the basket, calling for the ball, then... a lateral pass to Su Yan at the top of the arc on the right.
At this moment.
Evans was chasing him.
But he didn't stick close to Su Yan, or rather... Su Yan was standing two meters beyond the Three-point Shot line.
He didn't intend to press up.
Well, isn't this an opportunity?
"Whoosh~"
Su Yan caught the ball and immediately shot a super-long Three-point Shot, catching Evans completely off guard, unable to react at all.
The basketball arced through the air like a beautiful rainbow, or a meteor falling to earth.
Arrow rain, meteor shower, frosty moon.
"Swish!"
The Three-point Shot went in, nothing but net.
"This f***ing... can go in too!"
Evans was shocked.
He knew about Su Yan's recent Three-point Shot achievements in the league and that he was very accurate from deep.
However.
He simply didn't believe it.
The Three-point Shot wasn't the main theme of this era.
In his ingrained thinking, he wouldn't believe Su Yan's Three-point Shot could be so accurate, wouldn't believe he could be that accurate from deep.
Unless... he felt it in a real game.
Su Yan's seemingly playful Three-point Shot hit like a thunderbolt, striking directly at Evans's head.
It caught him completely off guard.
But just 1 minute and 14 seconds later, still at the top of the arc on the right, Su Yan faced Evans's defense right in front of him.
He used a pump fake and a jab step.
Seeing him retreat half a step, with a slight shift in his center of gravity.
Extremely decisively, he raised his hand and shot another Three-point Shot. Evans had good talent and quick reactions.
"A Three-point Shot in my face? You're dreaming!"
He roared as he closed in, thinking that since Su Yan was about the same height as him, he could definitely block him.
The result?
The basketball's trajectory seemed pre-calculated, flying just above his fingertips, where he couldn't quite touch it.
It was as if it had "GPS" navigation, flying precisely into the basket.
"What do you call this?!"
McGrady, back on the court, shouted to Curry behind Evans, seemingly for Curry, but actually for Evans.
Curry understood and shouted back, "This is... a facial!"
Evans: ???
I'm not deaf, no need to shout so loudly.
I'm not stupid either, I know this is a facial, no need for a special reminder.
"Hmph!"
He snorted unhappily and, during the transition offense, charged at Su Yan's defense like a madman.
However.
Su Yan's strength was superior to his; in their confrontations, Evans could never gain an advantage.
His skilled dribbling and change-of-direction breakthroughs could, to some extent, shake off Su Yan.
But... Su Yan's incredible leaping ability always allowed him to catch up and interfere, or even block.
He couldn't attack.
He simply couldn't score well or efficiently against Su Yan.
Occasionally, he'd force a shot and score, but even if it went in, it was extremely difficult and didn't make him seem tough.
Instead, it looked more like a lucky shot.
Facing Su Yan, he felt like he couldn't move an inch.
On the offensive end, if Evans was careless, Su Yan would hit a facial Three-point Shot on him. If he tried to keep up, he'd be shaken off during off-ball movement.
If he got crazy and tried to cling to him.
Su Yan's violent confrontation combined with a step-back Three-point Shot, a blend of power and elegance, not only scored but also made Evans a background character.
Throughout the first half.
Su Yan completely suppressed Evans in their matchup, on both offense and defense, one could even say... he utterly dominated him!
This was thanks to the jump boost provided by Spring Man Lv1.
Otherwise, the suppression wouldn't have been so severe.
Because Evans talked big before the game, countless fans watched their matchup from the start, hoping to see a good show.
The result... Evans was utterly defeated.
In just one half, Su Yan gave Evans 4 Blocks, 2 steals, and hit 5 Three-point Shots on him.
His offense and defense were completely explosive.
Tyreke Evans had been playing with the "rookie of the year" halo all season.
And he had played up to standard.
To be utterly humiliated by Su Yan, an Undrafted Player he looked down on, especially after his pre-game boasts.
The slap in the face was too loud!
Too embarrassing!
Can't play anymore!
During halftime, Tyreke Evans collapsed to the locker room floor, motionless and distraught.
Young and fearless.
But he was still young and hadn't experienced many major setbacks. Once the pressure was great enough, he would break down.
Throughout halftime.
The entire Kings team didn't discuss winning strategies or rest much; everyone was comforting and encouraging Evans.
Hoping he would pick himself up.
After a full 15 minutes, Evans finally managed to adjust somewhat, but their chances of victory were fading.
First, the point differential was 11 points.
Second, Su Yan was on fire, and the team was on an 8-game winning streak, with strong momentum.
Third, this was the New York Knicks' home court.
Fourth, Evans was the Kings' core player, and he had been beaten to the point of collapse by Su Yan; even though he adjusted, his condition was clearly not optimal.
With these four factors combined.
The Kings had no chance of winning!
After three quarters.
New York Knicks 85:61 Kings.
The huge 24-point difference allowed Su Yan and Curry to punch out after three quarters, easily dominating the Kings.
The Kings also gave up.
Head Coach Paul Westphal didn't care about the outcome of the game; he only hoped that Evans's morale wouldn't completely dissipate.
Even if he wasn't as good as Su Yan.
Even if he wasn't the rookie of the year.
He was still the Kings' future core, destined to become an all-star level player.
He didn't want to lose such a tough player.
Ultimately... the New York Knicks crushed the Kings by 19 points, securing their 9th consecutive win.
Evans played three quarters, scoring 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal, with a dismal field goal percentage of only 38%.
Su Yan also played three quarters, hitting 7 Three-point Shots, tallying 28 points, along with 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 Blocks, and 3 steals.
Su Yan vs. Evans.
Eastern Conference Player of the Week Rookie vs. Western Conference Player of the Week Rookie.
Su Yan achieved a crushing... complete vic
