New York Knicks 0:2 Chicago Bulls.
Curry dribbled the ball up, to the top of the arc on the left side, facing Derrick Rose, last year's number one draft pick, looking composed.
Skillful ball handling.
He confused his opponent, then used a screen from McGrady to shake off Rose and drove in from the right.
He drew the help defense of Luol Deng and Taj Gibson in the paint.
A behind-the-back pass went up, finding Su Yan who was off-ball running to the arc. The moment he caught the ball, Hinrich had just caught up.
He wasn't out of position.
But Su Yan pulled up immediately upon receiving the ball, completely ignoring Hinrich's defense.
"Hmph!"
Hinrich roared and tried to block, but suddenly realized he couldn't even touch the basketball.
"He jumped so high, why is he still going up?!"
Hinrich was aghast.
Sorry, this is Su Yan's jumping ability after being enhanced by Spring Man Lv3, a top contender among T0-level players!
The shot is just the beginning.
Hitting it is the result.
"Swish!"
Accompanied by a beautiful swishing sound that was grating to Hinrich's ears, the basketball went right into the net!
"What a tough Three-point Shot!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... It's a completely unreasonable and illogical shot, but Su Yan just manages to make it! Absolutely brilliant!"
Su Yan responded directly.
Rose dribbled up himself, facing the young Curry, like a tiger seeing a lone, injured deer, pouncing without hesitation.
Another simple in-and-out dribble, but with astonishing deceptive quality and speed, easily getting past Curry again.
He drove in to the left.
David Lee and Tyson were under the basket, almost like a 'twin tower' defense in the restricted area, but Rose seemed not to notice.
He stormed in like lightning.
A sudden burst, with both his jump and explosiveness maxed out, caught David Lee and Tyson completely off guard.
"Boom!"
The young and healthy Rose, ignoring David Lee and Tyson, actually finished the offense with a powerful tomahawk dunk.
"Thud!"
Not hanging on the rim at all, Rose landed immediately after the dunk, making this dunk... even more aesthetically pleasing!
Very cool, very violent.
This is why fans love Derrick Rose!
"COME ON! Derrick's first move was a crossover without losing speed, a breakthrough, and then a fully extended, explosively powerful dunk without hanging on the rim.
So exciting.
Su Yan is not to be outdone, his unconventional and utterly unreasonable Three-point Shots are giving opponents goosebumps!
Wooow~
Su Yan is at it again, just past half-court, top of the arc, at least five feet beyond the three-point line.
Another super long Three-point Shot.
The basketball traced a beautiful rainbow arc through the air, and this shot... once again pierced the net!
Unbelievably accurate.
Kirk Hinrich's defense was just a little slow, giving Su Yan the opportunity.
Kirk Hinrich is also a Shooter, his slowness wasn't disrespect for the Three-point Shot, it was probably... he couldn't imagine a three-pointer could be shot from so far away."
"Derrick, facing the taller Tracy, again used a crossover without losing speed, freezing him in place.
He drove in.
Ignoring two defenders, he twisted his body and made a reverse layup, what... what amazing core strength, what a spectacular offense."
"COME ON! Curry, cutting up from the left wing, made a back cut and sprinted to the basket. Curry threw a high lob.
Su Yan leaped up, his head level with the rim.
Slam dunk!
An alley-oop, and a powerful tomahawk alley-oop at that! The rim is wailing, and my heart is pounding!!!"
"Su Yan and Derrick, future superstars of the league, are trading blows right from the start of the Christmas Day Game!
This game is truly exciting!"
Mike Breen was spluttering, passionately commentating, spitting on Kenny Smith's face next to him, who didn't even notice.
He was completely immersed in enjoying the game.
"Derrick dribbled up, Derrick drove in again, he's too fast, Stephen simply can't stop him.
Near the basket.
Derrick stopped short and pulled up, but... David Lee came to help, jumping to block, perfectly timed.
Is this a Blocking attempt?!
Oh, my god!
What did I just see? Derrick actually used a reverse layup in the air to evade David Lee's Blocking attempt, and then, before his feet landed, he passed the ball in.
Under the basket.
Taj Gibson caught the ball and easily made the layup.
An aerial shot turned into a reverse layup pass, this... this is too cool!"
"The New York Knicks' counterattack, Curry's pass spanned half the court, finding Su Yan at mid-court, with Luol Deng hot on his trail from the wing.
The two rushed to the frontcourt together.
Su Yan can't attack the basket directly, can he?
???
Su Yan... Su Yan took a step on the free throw line and just flew up, he's flying in the air!
Luol Deng, who was chasing him closely, could only remain on the ground. At the free throw line, he didn't have the courage to take flight!
BOOM!
Su Yan scored with a gliding tomahawk dunk!
My God.
An in-game free throw line dunk, Su Yan's shot was too cool, is this... is this still a Shooter?!"
"Boom!"
The arena also erupted in thunderous cheers.
Let alone in a game, even in a Slam Dunk Contest, fans would stand and applaud for a free throw line gliding dunk.
Much less in an actual game.
This is just too cool!
Looking at the entire NBA history, players capable of an in-game free throw line dunk... are few and far between.
Su Yan only gained this ability after his Spring Man level increased to Lv3!!!
"Derrick rushed over with great momentum, he drove in again, he still wants to respond.
He pushed off the ground to accelerate, forcefully shaking off Curry by half a step, driving in, making a spin, and getting past the help defense of David Lee.
Near the basket.
He took a fadeaway jumper.
It went in.
The entire process was fluid and seamless.
Derrick is like a dancing sprite, darting through the forest, immersed in an ocean of freedom~
Beautiful, beautiful.
This game is too good!"
Mike Breen's speaking speed was astonishing, full of passion, commentating rapidly and continuously.
Su Yan and Derrick Rose's back-and-forth battle lasted a whole quarter, coupled with the commentators' enthusiastic and powerful commentary.
It ignited the game atmosphere!
Fans screamed hysterically, completely immersed in the game, thoroughly enjoying Christmas Night!
The entire first half.
Completely devolved into a personal show by Su Yan and Derrick Rose.
Su Yan's unconventional super-long Three-point Shot show and terrifying leaping ability, making him fly through the air and burrow into the ground, left people utterly astonished.
Derrick Rose's superhuman physical talent.
Allowed him to continuously perform incredible feats such as "crossover without losing speed," "dunk without hanging on the rim," and "won't make a layup without a reverse layup."
All of these were offenses that made blood boil and hearts pound.
Every offense also made fans feel so good, so exhilarating!
This is the Christmas Day Game.
It can't be purely for show.
However, in the first half, Su Yan indeed didn't guard Rose, nor did he directly face him, but for the game to be decided.
There had to be a conclusion between him and Rose.
So.
When the second half arrived.
Under Coach D'Antoni's instructions, Su Yan matched up against Rose, and the showdown between the two future league superstars... officially began!!!
