"We won!"
"Game-winner!"
"Another game-winner!"
"Another game-winner from Blake Su!"
"That was incredible!"
"Blake Su is invincible!"
"..."
The home Suns fans had completely lost it. They waved their arms without restraint, reveling in the joy of victory after Blake Su's game-winner.
"Boom!"
"Monster Rookie" Blake Su, shooting over "King James" LeBron's block, hit an off-balance buzzer-beating three and delivered the counter game-winner against the Heat.
"Unbelievable!"
At the commentary desk, Jeff Van Gundy was completely fired up as he roared, "That was against LeBron, against the defense of the 'league's best small forward.' Blake Su is just a rookie.
"And yet he actually hit a game-winner against the Heat with an off-balance fadeaway three that difficult. That was absolutely insane."
"Hahaha!"
Mike Breen was grinning from ear to ear as well. "Incredible. This is truly unbelievable. For a rookie.
"Blake Su's ability to handle clutch shots is almost unheard of. Among all the rookies I've seen, his clutch gene is the best in history!"
"That's right!"
Jeff Van Gundy echoed with a laugh.
...
In the stands.
Pippen shook his head excitedly and said, "My God, this rookie Blake Su actually did it again. He really hit another game-winner.
"That's unbelievable!
"Michael, everything went exactly the way you imagined. Blake Su really did it."
"Haha!"
Jordan, thoroughly enjoying the game, was smiling too. "I only hoped to see a game-winner that would go down in history. To be honest, I was still a little worried about Blake Su.
"But.
"This kid's talent, his clutch ability, his nerves of steel. They're truly shocking. He really is exactly what everyone says.
"He is the man born for game-winners!"
Jordan's praise for Blake Su was completely sincere.
...
"Wow! Blake Su did it. He really hit the game-winner!"
Yi Jianlian's eyes shone with excitement.
Yao Ming was beaming too. "He's strong. Truly strong. Blake Su really is incredible. We finally have a phenomenal player.
"He could take our national team to a new level."
At this point.
Yao Ming clenched his fist, looked at Yi Jianlian, and held back the excitement in his heart as he said seriously, "Yi Jianlian, you've seen how strong Blake Su is.
"With him here.
"And besides, my injury recovery is going much better than expected. If things keep going like this, there's a good chance I'll be able to play next season.
"Barring anything unexpected.
"Blake Su and I should both be able to play in the 2012 Olympic men's basketball tournament. Add you to that, and our national team will have real strength.
"We might even be stronger than we were in 2008.
"So.
"You need to train even harder too. Let's put up a better performance at the 2012 Olympics and make up for the regrets of 2008!"
"Mm!"
Yi Jianlian nodded firmly, his expression serious and his eyes burning with passion. With Blake Su and Yao Ming there, he was full of anticipation for their national team at the 2012 Olympics.
...
On the other side.
"Heh heh heh!"
"Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar let out a duck-like laugh. "So he really did hit the game-winner. An off-balance fadeaway three right over 'King James' LeBron!"
"To be fair.
"Blake Su, this rookie, really has no ceiling."
"Yes."
Charles Barkley nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "But... besides Blake Su's game-winner, there was LeBron's near game-winner earlier.
"Blake Su's unreasonable threes to chase the score.
"And before that, the scoring duel between 'Flash' Wade and Curry, Carter's highlight performance, and the earlier connections between [Su-Curry] and [LeBron-Wade].
"In short.
"This ultimate battle, which felt like a Finals preview, was truly spectacular!"
"That's right."
"Magic" Johnson also smiled and nodded. "It was brilliant, absolutely thrilling to watch. I thought it would be the villainous 'Heat Big Three' telling the league they were coming for the championship.
"But instead, it was the 'Monster Rookie' Blake Su telling the league he was going to be the superhero."
"Haha!"
After hearing that, "The Dream" Hakeem Olajuwon could not help laughing as well. "I've always believed in this rookie Blake Su, and he didn't disappoint me.
"Well done.
"I'm not against players teaming up, but I'm not especially fond of it either. So... I prefer a player like Blake Su, someone who leads a team as the lone core. I'm looking forward to seeing him become a superhero.
"And I hope he delivers brilliant performances in the playoffs!"
The stands were buzzing with heated discussion.
...
On the court.
George, Curry, Nash, and the others all raised their arms and jumped in joy the instant Blake Su hit the game-winner.
Goran Dragić, Robin Lopez, and the other players on the bench also rushed onto the court in excitement.
All the Suns players gathered around Blake Su, celebrating the victory brought by his game-winner.
As for the Heat.
Led by the Big Three, everyone was stunned. They could not believe they had truly lost to a rookie, and a rookie center at that, on an off-balance three-point game-winner.
"Th-this can't be real!"
Chalmers hung his head, completely dejected. Even though he had watched Blake Su hit the game-winning three right in the face of his leader LeBron.
For a moment, he still could not believe it.
He did not want to believe it.
...
Inside the ESPN studio.
The instant Blake Su hit the buzzer-beating three and defeated the Heat, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy were visibly excited, momentarily struggling to put the scene into words.
After taking a little time to settle down.
The two finally composed themselves and resumed the broadcast.
Jeff Van Gundy tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said with a smile, "What a game. Just as people said before tipoff, this matchup had the feel of a Finals preview.
"And it absolutely lived up to that level.
"'Monster Rookie' Blake Su versus the 'Heat Big Three.' This was a hard-fought, high-intensity battle from start to finish.
"But.
"The difference was clear.
"At the final moment, Blake Su turned the tide. He hit an off-balance fadeaway three over LeBron for the game-winner.
"He was undoubtedly the brightest star tonight.
"He is tonight's MVP."
"That's right."
Mike Breen nodded firmly and agreed. "Now let's talk about the numbers. Tonight's MVP, Blake Su, hit 15 threes, exploded for 72 points, and delivered an off-balance three-point game-winner."
"Among those numbers.
"His 15 threes broke the single-game record of 14 that he set against the Magic, raising the single-game three-point record to 15.
"His 72 points also broke his personal single-game scoring record of 68, which he had also set against the Magic.
"On top of that.
"With 72 points tonight, Blake Su has become the first player in NBA history to score 70-plus points in his rookie season.
"And at the same time...
"Blake Su has also become the youngest 70-point scorer in NBA history!"
