First half.
The New York Knicks dominated the 76ers, but... Iguodala and Lou Will were in incredible form, constantly helping their team keep the score close.
The "Run-and-Gun System" utilized by Su Yan, Curry, and others had not yet fully hit its stride.
The half ended.
The New York Knicks held a slim 7-point lead, which wasn't much considering they could specifically target Iverson.
The second half resumed.
Sides were switched, and play continued.
The entire New York Knicks team adjusted well, and their touch improved. It was as if they had opened their Ren and Du meridians, becoming unstoppable.
"Boom!"
Iguodala drove into the paint, making a furious layup as if carrying a Dynamite Pack, scoring against David Lee's defense.
Transition offense.
Curry grabbed the ball and quickly pushed the fast break. Su Yan and Wilson Chandler, who replaced McGrady, sprinted at full speed on the wings.
Wilson drove straight to the basket, forcing the 76ers to chase.
Su Yan settled one step outside the Three-point Shot line on the right Top of the Arc, and Curry immediately passed the ball to him.
"Swish~"
Su Yan caught the ball and immediately launched a Transition Three-point Shot.
Despite the defensive interference from Iguodala lunging from the side... he still made it.
From counterattack to offense, exactly seven seconds elapsed.
10 minutes and 14 seconds left.
7 Chandler roared as he grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to Curry.
Without stopping.
A long Bounce Pass found Wilson Chandler sprinting up the court, with Lou Will trailing him.
Iguodala was also chasing from behind.
Wilson Chandler drove in, then passed the ball back out to Su Yan at the right Top of the Arc.
"I knew it!"
Iguodala chased after him with a low growl.
"And then what?!"
Su Yan smiled faintly, then made a cross-court pass to Curry at the right Top of the Arc.
Shoots from Both Sides.
Impossible to guard against.
"Swish!"
If Curry is given a good Three-point Shot opportunity and allowed to shoot in a comfortable state.
Sorry, he really can make it.
"Why are these guys so accurate with their Three-point Shots?!"
Iguodala's scalp tingled.
"Shit bro!"
Lou Will also had a massive headache. "It's not just that their shooting is accurate; more importantly... their release is so fast.
They barely need to adjust.
They shoot very decisively. If you look away for a second, they shoot and manage to sink the damn ball.
This fast break is impossible to defend against!"
That hit the nail on the head.
The core of the "Run-and-Gun Cyclone" is speed and accuracy!
The Suns of the past, with Nash leading the "Run-and-Gun System"!
The speed came from everyone running fast, and the accuracy came from Nash's precise passing, plus multiple teammates having ball-handling capabilities.
Everyone attacked comfortably, leading to high efficiency.
Fast and accurate.
The Suns made it work.
Today's New York Knicks.
For speed, everyone runs actively, so that aspect is not a concern.
As for accuracy, the only players besides Curry who can handle the ball are David Lee.
Su Yan, Wilson Chandler, and Tyson Chandler are just average.
Curry's achievements in passing are also inferior to Nash's.
Fortunately... Su Yan and Curry are both potential stars of the small ball era, skilled in ball-handling and long-distance Three-point Shots.
So as long as a small opportunity arises.
Both of them can shoot, forcibly making their shots accurate.
Fast and accurate.
The New York Knicks also made it work.
The little 76ers simply couldn't withstand it.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Repeated Three-point Shots and mid-range jumpers during fast breaks caused a Three-point Shot rainstorm in Philadelphia.
In the third quarter alone.
Su Yan and Curry teamed up to unleash a 22:7 counterattack storm, crushing the 76ers in one wave.
That's right.
Under the "Run-and-Gun Cyclone" system, once the firepower is fully unleashed, it is truly unstoppable.
After three quarters.
The New York Knicks held a 22-point lead, and the game was essentially over.
In the final quarter.
Su Yan did not play. He actually wanted to, but... D'Antoni absolutely refused to let him continue playing.
The reason was: the score difference was too large, so sitting out would reduce the risk of injury.
Very reasonable.
But Su Yan felt like punching him twice.
There is a good proverb that says, cutting off someone's financial path is like murdering their parents.
One Three-point Shot is 12,000.
Su Yan felt this deeply.
Fortunately... his stats after three quarters were not bad.
31 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 2 Blocks, hitting 8 Three-point Shots, including 2 steals and 1 block, all against Iguodala.
It was precisely because of the tough defense provided by [Steel Tendons and Iron Bones Lv1] that the unstoppable Iguodala was somewhat contained.
Only then could the New York Knicks unleash that counterattack storm.
Curry was also excellent.
24 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, hitting 5 Three-point Shots.
It is worth mentioning that... the 76ers team averaged only 5.8 Three-point Shots per game this season, and tonight they hit 5 Three-point Shots.
Su Yan and Curry alone hit 13 Three-point Shots.
Just the two of them, competing against the entire 76ers team, won the Three-point Shot battle by 8 points.
"Hahaha!"
Coach D'Antoni couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Three-point Shot disparity: "That's it, that's exactly it! The Three-point Shot level of Su Yan and Stephen, this is the ultimate secret of the 'Run-and-Gun System'!
If the "Run-and-Gun Cyclone" I built in Phoenix, led by Steve Nash and Stoudemire, was Version 1.0.
Then the "Run-and-Gun Cyclone" established now, led by the "twin stars" Su Yan and Stephen, is Version 2.0.
Much stronger!"
D'Antoni was overjoyed.
Of course.
There were also some scouts with rigid mindsets in the arena who scoffed at the New York Knicks' performance tonight.
A game won purely by the Three-point Shot.
They believed there was extreme chance involved, and if the Three-point Shot failed one day, they would lose everything!
D'Antoni didn't know the inner thoughts of these scouts, otherwise... he would definitely have a passionate debate with them.
Back to the game.
In the final quarter, the 76ers, stunned by the shooting of Su Yan and Curry, struggled symbolically for a few minutes before giving up the game.
The last 7 minutes devolved into Garbage Time.
Curry played a few more minutes at the end, while Su Yan Checked Out after three quarters, and the team ultimately crushed Philadelphia with a large 18-point advantage!
Post-game.
The two teams exchanged friendly hugs.
After Iverson hugged Su Yan, he gave him a thumbs up: "Su Yan, you are truly amazing.
In our era, the Three-point Shot wasn't popular.
People thought the training difficulty was too high and the cost-effectiveness low. The fact that you can shoot the Three-point Shot so accurately.
It's truly remarkable.
I admire that greatly!"
"I should be admiring you, Mr. Allen!"
Su Yan waved his hand and exclaimed, "Allen's indomitable spirit and intense desire to win are qualities I deeply admire.
I admire that greatly.
I should learn from you."
"Haha!"
Iverson chuckled, a trace of bitterness on his lips. "I'm old now. No matter how hard I fight, I can't play well or bring the team a victory.
My only regret is.
That I haven't been able to lift a championship trophy in my career!"
As if joking or teasing, Iverson laughed again: "Su Yan's Three-point Shot is so accurate, he's going to lead the small ball era.
If there's a chance..
I'd still like to play with Su Yan. Maybe... I could sneak in a championship and complete my career without regrets!"
Su Yan looked at him, paused for a moment, and then said seriously: "If Allen trusts me, you can come to the New York Knicks.
I will do my best to help you fulfill
your dream!!!"
