Chapter 258
However... the "Dragon Country Twin Stars" are no pushovers either; Su Yan exploded for 42 points last game, and Yao has also had an amazing performance of 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks recently.
"Twin Stars" vs. "Three Musketeers."
This matchup, just thinking about it makes one feel it will be spectacular and stimulating. Now... this matchup is coming soon, let us wait and see."
"That's right, also..."
Before the game.
The two commentators sing in harmony, one saying a sentence and the other following, constantly warming up for the game, making the fans full of anticipation for the main event.
Before long.
"Boom!"
Under the thunderous cheers in the arena, the main event arrives.
Both teams' starters begin to take the court.
Chicago Bulls starters: Point Guard: Hinrich, Shooting Guard: Su Yan, Small Forward: Pippen, Power Forward: Antonio, Center: Yao.
Seattle Supersonics starters: Point Guard: Brent Barry, Shooting Guard: Ray Allen, Small Forward: Rashard Lewis, Power Forward: Vladimir Radmanović, Center: Vitaly Potapenko.
"Jump! Ball!"
Yao and Potapenko jump for the ball.
Potapenko is from the "96 Golden Generation," the 12th overall pick center, and is a decent interior rim protector.
But at only 208 cm, he is completely unable to match up with Yao.
"Slap!"
Yao, with his absolute height advantage, very easily tips the ball away. Antonio catches it and gives it to Hinrich to bring up, executing the first attack for the Bulls.
Pushing it up.
Antonio sets a screen, and on the other side, Su Yan cuts to the basket, attracting the defense.
"Whoosh~"
Hinrich finds an opening and lifts his hand for a three-pointer.
"I heard you are a three-point brigade? Sorry, I, Hinrich, am also a qualified shooter, and I can also hit three-pointers."
Hinrich is very confident.
This shot?
"Clang!"
It hits the iron and misses.
"Ah, this~"
Hinrich is a bit embarrassed.
Running back to Su Yan on the court, he blames himself: "Sorry, Su, I should have played with more patience."
"It's okay."
Su Yan waves his hand, comforting him: "Nine out of ten shots are cold; missing and hitting the iron is normal."
Hinrich:???
No, Su, are you comforting me with that?!
Possession changes.
Supersonics point guard Barry pushes it up and gives it to Ray Allen, who reaches for a three-pointer; Su Yan rushes up to stare him down.
He doesn't attack.
"Whoosh!"
He passes to Lewis on the other side, then transfers it to Radmanović in the corner, who lifts his hand for a three-pointer, shooting very decisively.
The basketball traces a beautiful arc in the air.
"Swish!"
It hits nothing but net.
【Bulls 0:3 Supersonics】.
"The Supersonics' 'Three Musketeers' really have the three-pointer; we can't treat them like a normal team and not stare down the 'Three Musketeers' on the perimeter."
Possession changes.
Su Yan pushes it up, facing Lewis's defense; it's a mismatch. He uses a simple hesitation step to predict the defensive footwork.
"Zoom!"
He suddenly speeds up.
Accelerating in the opposite direction, he easily shakes off the 208 cm Lewis for a pull-up jumper.
"Swish!"
It hits steadily.
Giving a response.
However... during the change of possession, Ray Allen cuts around a screen and comes back out, catches the ball, and hits a half-turn three-pointer.
"Swish!"
It also goes in.
This isn't over yet. Just a minute later, Lewis is also at the left arc, one step outside the three-point line, catches the ball, and lifts his hand for a three-pointer.
Hand up, knife drops.
"Swish!"
It goes in again.
The Supersonics' "Three Musketeers," each with a three-pointer to start the night, tell the Bulls that they still have an extremely hot hand!!! ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
