Chapter 225: Taking on a boxer head-on! A god descends to earth, hammering four at once!

In his younger days, McGrady had a rather fiery temper.

His style of play was tough; if he couldn't resolve a situation, he'd just throw a punch and get to it.

Pippen was no pushover either. Although he was already 38 and had mellowed out quite a bit compared to his younger self, he was still the type who didn't fear trouble.

Now.

He had pinned all the Bulls' hopes on Su Yan.

So... whoever made a move against Su Yan was making a move against him; that was intolerable, and he had to protect him.

And so.

The battlefield between McGrady and Pippen also erupted into a full-blown fight.

The two traded punches, rolling and grappling on the ground; their jerseys were torn to varying degrees, and both had some scratches on their faces.

However.

Assistant coaches and staff from both teams pulled them apart in time, separating the two and calming that particular battlefield.

Next.

The situation between Yao and Juwan Howard had also escalated to shoving; if left unchecked, they likely would have resorted to fists as well.

But assistant coaches and reserves from both teams stepped in to break it up.

Yao and Juwan Howard were separated, and that battlefield was also calmed.

Meanwhile, the referee who had grabbed Hinrich stabilized his emotions, and the two rushed over to where Chandler and Hunter were.

With the help of several reserves, they pulled those two apart as well.

Additionally... Antonio was also held back by two referees who had originally intended to go to Su Yan's battlefield, and his emotions were stabilized.

As these battlefields were being calmed one by one.

The main battlefield.

In Su Yan's four-on-one skirmish, only Zaza remained, but he was the most troublesome guy of the lot.

"You kid actually have some tricks!"

Zaza focused his mind.

"Oh."

Su Yan responded indifferently, mocking him: "And you guys, four-on-one, engaging in a gang-up—you really are trash."

"Heh."

Zaza sneered, then raised his arms, clenched his fists, and assumed a boxer's fighting stance. "Just saying, I wasn't complimenting you.

It's over.

Now... I'm going to beat you to a pulp.

I'll let you know that on a basketball court, having skills isn't enough; your fists need to be hard enough, too."

Su Yan:???

You Zaza-dog, do you even hear what you're saying?!

Is this something a normal basketball player could say?!

You are truly disgusting.

Su Yan frowned slightly, feeling extreme disgust toward Zaza for saying those words, and suddenly felt fortunate that although his physical talent was average.

He possessed 【Steel Strength】 and terrifying power.

Why fortunate?

Because... at least when encountering guys like Zaza who look for trouble like thugs, he had the ability to strike back.

"Brat, if you're going to humiliate me, be prepared to suffer for it!"

Zaza roared as he charged.

He swung another heavy punch at Su Yan, and Su Yan threw a punch back.

Both swung at the same time; Su Yan, possessing the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, dodged.

And Zaza, having been a boxer, had impressive reaction speed and also dodged Su Yan's fist.

However.

Zaza landed one punch, and another followed immediately; the speed was still fast, the power heavy, and the force as fierce as ever.

Being a center, his strength was greater than the average player, and as a boxer, his punching speed was fast—his power was even greater than that of a typical center.

Such a Zaza, facing Su Yan who was only a shooting guard, should theoretically have been crushing him.

Yet.

His next punch was also dodged by Su Yan, dodged with ease.

"Tch!"

Zaza snorted, roared, and swung his fists continuously again. "Let's see how many punches you can dodge. As long as one lands, I'll make you wish you were dead."

"Hmph."

Su Yan also snorted, the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】 tracking every punch Zaza threw while simultaneously looking for the best opportunity to attack. ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
