Chapter 218
"Huh? Stepping under?"
Su Yan, who possesses the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, has extremely strong insight, and while shooting, also observed Zaza's movements.
Noticed his stepping under behavior.
Su Yan:???
Damn, this is your rookie season, hitting people, elbowing is fine, you also do stepping under, truly "debut is peak" dirtiness?!
You really deserve to die!
Su Yan was very angry.
But he saw all this clearly.
The moment he finished shooting, he started to protect himself, landing normally would definitely lead to being stepped under, Su Yan moved his upper body backward immediately after shooting.
Changed his center of gravity.
Let the upper body lean back, lower body lean forward.
Then... lifted his right foot that was about to be stepped on, while his left foot moved backward and landed first, a somewhat strange posture.
But it effectively protected himself.
However.
Facing Zaza, who had been violently hitting people, elbowing, and now stepping under, and whom he had found extremely disgusting from the beginning.
He didn't want to let him off so easily.
'Since you want to provoke me, since you want to step under and ruin me, then... I must respond.'
Su Yan thought in his heart.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
When he landed while leaning back, the arm that had just finished shooting the basketball also fell, his right hand presenting a wrist-pressed state with five fingers tensed.
Then... a big slap while falling, a big slap infused with 【Iron Strength】, from top to bottom.
Fiercely slapped Zaza's face right in front of him.
"Smack!"
"Ah ah ah~"
"Step!"
The first sound was: the extremely crisp and loud sound of a big slap.
The second sound was: Zaza's miserable scream from the pain.
The third sound was: the light landing sound of Su Yan's left foot.
His right foot moved back and landed, successfully avoiding Zaza's foot, avoiding being stepped under.
And Zaza, who was screaming, in just a second or two, his face turned red with a "whoosh," revealing five bright red handprints.
Zaza is quite white.
The five handprints are very red.
In contrast, it looked like white showing red, extremely eye-catching, and extremely creepy.
Zaza's stepping under was extremely obvious, and Su Yan's big slap was also truly loud.
"Dare to hit people?!"
A cold glint appeared in Stevenson's eyes, and he roared and rushed over.
"Told you to be disciplined, still stepping under, really not a thing."
A cold glint flashed in Pippen's eyes, he didn't even think, rushed out at the first moment, and the two rushed to Su Yan's side at high speed.
Colliding shoulders and heads in a confrontation.
Immediately after... Yao, Hinrich, McGrady, Coach Lue, etc., both teams' starters, all swarmed up.
The scene instantly became chaotic.
Su Yan was protected, he hadn't suffered much damage, and didn't make a move.
And Zaza, who has always had an explosive temper and is very dirty, at this moment covered his burning right cheek, gritting his teeth in pain.
But didn't make a move either.
Why?
Because... Su Yan's big slap infused with 【Iron Strength】 directly made him dizzy, his brain blank.
The whole person was dazed.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle while rushing over, pulling the players of both teams apart.
Didn't really fight, plus there were relatively calm people like Yao and Juwan Howard easing things, not letting the chaos escalate into a conflict.
Soon.
Both sides were pulled apart.
The referee stopped the game, and the players of both teams returned to their respective benches to rest.
The referee went to the technical table to watch the replay.
How to judge?
After repeated viewing, the referee determined that Zaza did not intentionally step under, but had suspicion of stepping under, and gave a Level 1 flagrant foul warning.
If.
Su Yan had been successfully stepped under, then this punishment would be upgraded to: Level 2 flagrant, immediate ejection.
As for Su Yan, a common foul.
Why?
Because... the referee felt that Su Yan had anticipated the danger in advance, tilted his body, and forced a change in the landing point.
Center of gravity changed.
When the arm fell, to maintain balance, it needed to be swung down like that, so there was a high probability of accidentally hurting the person in front.
Zaza had suspicion of stepping under.
Su Yan lost his balance to avoid Zaza's stepping under.
Then... Zaza needed to bear the risk of his own "stepping under" suspicion, and getting hit was his own doing.
Blowing it like this?
The home fans had no problem with Su Yan.
As for Zaza, there were still quite a few fans who were indignant; they also watched the slow-motion replay and still felt Zaza did it on purpose.
However.
Because nothing happened, and Zaza's eyes indeed didn't deliberately stare at Su Yan's feet to step under, then... couldn't eject him on the spot.
The game continued.
"Can you still play?"
Coach Johnny Davis asked Zaza.
At this moment.
Zaza's right half of his face, besides the five still-existing bright red handprints, was also visibly swollen, appearing as a big-and-small face situation.
