Chapter 193

One of the Supersonics' "Three Musketeers," the future "100-million-dollar man," Rashard Lewis, went absolutely wild last week.

He averaged 36 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block per game, while draining 4.5 three-pointers per game.

Team record: 2 wins, 1 loss.

In this era that is still defined by physical brawling, averaging 4.5 three-pointers per game is already terrifyingly monstrous, enough to drop the jaws of countless fans.

Lewis ushered in a massive breakout, edging out a host of Western Conference All-Stars to be named Western Conference Player of the Week.

One of the nominated players.

One of the Timberwolves' "Three-Headed Monsters," Sam Cassell, averaged 27.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game last week.

Team record: 3 wins, 0 losses.

Both his individual performance and the team's record were excellent, allowing him to be nominated.

And another nominated player.

The core shooter from the Kings, Peja Stojaković, averaged the following last week: 26 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.

Team record: 3 wins, 0 losses.

He also had both great individual performance and team record, earning a nomination as well.

Finally:

Western Conference Player of the Week: "One of the Three Musketeers" Rashard Lewis.

Eastern Conference Player of the Week: "Master of Prediction" Su Yan.

As a two-time consecutive Rookie of the Week and Player of the Week, Su Yan has undoubtedly once again become the object of fans' amazement and heated discussion.

"Two consecutive Player of the Week awards, surpassing the Big Shark, standing alone as the best in history—this is Su Yan, this is the capability of the 'Strongest Undrafted Player in History'."

"Terrifyingly monstrous!"

"Oh my goodness~ This kid Su Yan is truly fierce, how can he be powerful to this extent~ It's really scary~"

"Oh, my! God! Brothers, I seem to have discovered something incredible."

"What? What?!"

"Ahem... As of this season, Su Yan is averaging: 32.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 6.9 steals, and 3.7 blocks per game.

Among them.

Su Yan is at the top of the list in all three categories: scoring, steals, and blocks.

In short.

As of this season, Su Yan, an undrafted rookie, is dominating the top spots in the scoring, steals, and blocks leaderboards.

32.9 points per game, first in the league; the second place is McGrady, averaging: 29.5 points.

6.9 steals per game, first in the league, leaving the second place, Baron Davis's 2.4 steals, in the dust by a massive margin.

3.7 blocks per game, first in the league; the second place is Theo Ratliff, averaging 3.5 per game, which doesn't look like a big gap.

However.

You have to know, Su Yan is a shooting guard; for him to reach the top of the blocks leaderboard is already an unprecedented feat.

Already extremely impressive."

"Holy! Shit! More than just impressive, Su Yan is a rookie dominating three statistical leaderboards; even looking at the entire NBA, that is quite explosive!"

"Truly awesome!"

"My God, looking at single-game stats, Su Yan has already had many god-like performances, I didn't expect his season averages to be this crazy too.

Doesn't this mean.

Although Su Yan is a rookie, but... his performance is also very steady."

"Bingo!"

"Edging out Carter and Iverson, his individual performance is also great; really, if Su Yan keeps going this crazy, he truly has a chance to become the 'Fifth Shooting Guard'."

"Exactly."

"So looking forward to it~"

"It is indeed possible, but... still the same point as before, if he wants to squeeze into the ranks of the 'Four Great Shooting Guards', he must at least defeat the 'Four Great Shooting Guards'."

The game after next.

The Bulls will play the Magic, a duel between Su Yan and McGrady, the players ranked first and second in scoring, a duel between two great scorers.

I think it will definitely be extremely exciting."

"The game after next? Then what about the next game?"

"The next game, which is one day later, the Bulls will head to Xinzexi to challenge the Nets on the road, challenging this other Finals team.

'Twin Stars of the Dragon Kingdom' vs 'Three Musketeers of the Nets'.

Player of the Week Su Yan vs Player of the Week nominee Kidd.

'Master of Prediction' Su Yan vs 'Master of Passing' Kidd.

Clearly.

This duel is also destined to be very fiery and explosive."

"Uh-huh~ Seems very interesting!"

"Looking forward to it~ Looking forward to it~"

"......"

Because of the two-time consecutive Player of the Week Su Yan, and because of the recently extremely popular Su Yan, every recent Bulls game has seen high heat.

Additionally.

The opponent, the Nets, is also a team that made it to the Finals last year, with solid strength and high popularity.

This makes tomorrow's duel between the Nets and the Bulls a game many fans are looking forward to.

The next day.

Early morning.

The Bulls team took a private plane to Xinzexi, checked into the pre-arranged hotel, and after some rest.

4:00 PM.

Everyone took the bus to the Nets' home court, the Continental Airlines Arena.

Around 7:00 PM.

Inside the locker room.

Everyone started putting on their jerseys and changing into their sneakers; Su Yan had finished early and was leaning on the sofa to rest.

"Beep~"

At this moment, next to Su Yan, Chandler's phone rang; it was a text message notification sound.

"Su, help me check whose text it is."

Chandler was changing clothes in the locker and didn't have time to look.

"Sure."

Su Yan picked up the phone to check, "It's a text from baby Laura."

Chandler was putting on his jersey, his head still inside the shirt, mumbling: "That's my girlfriend, see what she sent."

"Uh..."

Su Yan opened the text and read: "Honey, don't eat things with wet fingers in the future, it's quite unhygienic."

"Eww~~~"

Pippen heard this, immediately wrinkled his face, and then laughed: "You kid have been progressing rapidly lately, bring her over for a meal another day so we can get to know her."

"Hehe~"

Chandler smiled, "Since Brother Pippen says so, that's just a matter of a word."

Next to Su Yan, Yao, who had also finished putting on his clothes and sneakers, frowned, then shook his head and laughed: "You're playing really wild."

"Playing wild?"

Su Yan frowned, looking confused, "Why playing wild?! Isn't this just a kind reminder?!"

"Hahaha~"

Yao gave a sheepish laugh, then rubbed his chin, giving Su Yan a riddle-like answer, "You can think about why the fingers are wet."

Su Yan:???

Saying it like that... could it be that they weren't just stained with water? Then... what does that mean?!

Uncomprehending.
