Chapter 125

However.

In terms of shooting.

Su Yan not only shoots little, but... his shooting percentage is not high.

This means that Su Yan is actually not good at shooting."

"Not good at it?"

Jones was a bit confused; he didn't really see it.

"Play to strengths and avoid weaknesses."

Stan Van Gundy snapped his fingers and affirmed: "I have studied his game videos well; he really shoots very little.

He doesn't shoot if he can break through.

And... several times he completely shook off his opponent for a jump shot, which looked like a must-hit shot in training, but Su Yan missed it.

In my analysis.

I think Su Yan has no basket, his shooting ability is very poor.

And as a rookie undrafted player, it is indeed impossible for him to be all-around in every aspect like 'Chosen One' LeBron and those superstars.

He must have his shortcomings.

It's just that... we know little about him and haven't discovered it yet.

Now.

Shooting is Su Yan's shortcoming, shooting is his flaw.

Our defensive strategy against Su Yan tomorrow night is: let him shoot, defend the breakthrough, and... shrink the defense when he breaks in, and perform double-teaming and encirclement against him.

I think.

As long as he has no basket, in the crowded paint, even if he can 'predict' to a certain extent, his offense cannot be very smooth.

Once Su Yan is limited, the Bulls will be defeated like a mountain.

Handling Su Yan and defeating the Bulls is a matter of course."

"Wooow~"

Odom, upon hearing this, nodded repeatedly, "It seems to be true; just now I was wondering why Su Yan missed the wide-open shot.

I felt it was a pity.

Who would have thought he really has no basket."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wade also echoed, "As an undrafted player, his shooting can't be very impressive; prediction can only shake off the defense, shooting is a technical job.

It doesn't go in just because of prediction.

Su Yan has no basket."

"Yes, Coach."

Jones nodded heavily, "If we can grasp Su Yan's flaw, we can lock him down, and the three-game winning streak Bulls are nothing to fear."

"Oh, beat the Bulls!"

The Heat players raised their fists and shouted, each one full of morale and fighting spirit.

And as the Bulls, who have been bottom of the East for 4 seasons and haven't made the playoffs for 5 seasons, the three-game winning streak gives them even stronger confidence and fighting spirit.

Both teams are full of confidence.

This duel will naturally be exciting.

Soon.

One day later.

When night fell, this duel also arrived.

8:00 PM.

15 minutes before the game.

At the commentary desk.

Barkley touched his chin and said seriously: "This year's Heat, after having 'Left-handed Magician' Odom and superstar 'Flash' Wade.

Their combat power is not low.

They have the ability to push for the playoffs.

Kenny, who do you think has a better chance of winning tonight between this year's Heat and the current Bulls."

"Uh..."

Kenny Smith thought for a moment and said objectively: "From the perspective of strength on paper, the Heat are stronger, but from the perspective of personal performance and player state.

The Bulls, who have 'Prediction Master' and 'Steal Demon' Su Yan.

Are truly very fierce.

The Bulls, who still have home-court advantage, under the leadership of the 'Dragon Kingdom Twin Stars', truly have more powerful combat power.

Of course.

No matter what.

This doesn't hinder tonight's duel... being good."

"That's right."

The two commentators were talking.

Before long.

The main game arrived, and the starting players of the two teams, each with a very confident and calm expression on their faces, walked slowly to the center of the court.

Chicago Bulls starters: PG: Hinrich, SG: Su Yan, SF: Pippen, PF: Antonio, C: Da Yao.

Miami Heat starters: PG: Eddie Jones, SG: Dwyane Wade, SF: Caron Butler, PF: Lamar Odom, C: Brian Grant.

"Jump! Ball!"

The duel between Da Yao and Grant.

"Pa!"

206 cm Brian Grant and 226 cm Da Yao—the height gap is too large.

Da Yao easily tipped the ball away.

Hinrich received the ball and pushed forward as usual, executing the first attack for the Bulls; this was aimed at harvesting a 4-game winning streak for the season.

Middle of the arc.

Handed it to Su Yan.

He pulled away to one side, creating space for Su Yan; Jones came up to defend.

Su Yan lowered his center of gravity slightly, and when preparing to attack, he suddenly discovered that Jones didn't stick completely, giving a step of space.

"Hmm?"

Su Yan noticed something wrong.

He accelerated on the right wing to kill in, actively approaching Jones, 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】 looking for his defensive loopholes, but... Jones retreated while defending.

Still giving Su Yan a space position.

Full of flaws.

The flaw is: he can shoot directly.

"Whoosh~"

Su Yan, who seized the gap, didn't think much, stopped suddenly and shot, a near-open jump shot?

"Clang!"

Missed.

The fans didn't care.

Jones smiled slightly, Stan Van Gundy crossed his arms, with a feeling of being in control of everything.

"Hmm?"

Su Yan noticed the somewhat strange expressions of the two and suddenly understood, "Stan Van Gundy has seen through my technical shortcoming of having no basket.

Let him shoot, don't let him break through.

Let me shoot, don't let me break through.

Although I can hit some open shots, scoring by breaking through casually brings more morale and can influence the team more.

This defensive strategy is good.

But... what if I break through forcibly?
