Chapter 348
Kenny Smith laughs, "The Rockets' manager and fans, whether openly or secretly, have mocked and ridiculed Da Yao.
It's completely useless.
This only excites a more powerful Da Yao.
Don't get it wrong, he is the 'number one pick' of 2002; Da Yao has his own talent and the ability to be a number one pick.
A temporary slump doesn't represent everything.
Tonight is the time for Da Yao to prove himself."
The two commentators are in shock.
And the fans on the court also find it incredible.
Da Yao, who has been extremely sluggish recently, not only played well tonight but also produced the strongest single-quarter performance of his career so far; how could this not be shocking.
An extremely outstanding performance.
This also allows the Bulls to win the quarter by 7 points over the Rockets.
Second quarter.
First, it's a battle of the benches.
Crawford checks in as the sixth man, with fancy behind-the-back dribbles; his individual offense is very selfish, but it is indeed sharp enough.
As long as he can score, it's fine.
Tonight, Crawford's performance remains stable.
4 minutes of rotation.
He leads the Rockets' bench to narrow the deficit to 4 points.
"Beep!"
Coach Skiles calls a timeout.
Both starting lineups return.
Su Yan pushes the ball up, just setting up at the right arc, when a black shadow flashes by; Francis pounces like a cheetah.
Caught off guard.
If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to dodge, and would either have to stop or get stolen.
And the reason "Franchise" is powerful is because he has extreme strength, astonishing jumping ability and hang time, and speed as fast as lightning.
Of course.
All of the above only applies to ordinary courts.
Su Yan possesses the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】; no matter how fast the steal is, in front of him, it will look like slow motion and will definitely be slowed down.
Lowering his dribbling center of gravity.
A simple crossover, Su Yan avoids Francis's steal and accelerates.
The two centers of gravity, one in front and one behind.
Su Yan easily gets past Francis; this is the drawback of gambling-style steals.
"Whoosh!"
Su Yan kills his way in.
Seeing Eddy Curry come over to help, and after realizing he has completely committed, Su Yan smiles slightly and throws a high lob toward the sky.
The next instant.
"Boom!"
Da Yao descends like a god on the other side, once again finishing an alley-oop dunk.
"Such fast reaction speed."
Francis narrows his eyes, then shakes his head, "It's not reaction speed, but the astonishing insight under that pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.
However.
This doesn't work on me."
Transition offense.
Francis is extremely confident, finds Su Yan, and performs continuous crossover and behind-the-back butterfly dribbles, like juggling.
He is not in a hurry to attack.
There is even a hint of wanting to toy with Su Yan.
"Whoosh~"
Noise erupts in the stands.
The fans also join in, extremely confident in "Franchise's" strength, thinking of seeing the joke of Su Yan being shaken off and eaten alive.
"Bang bang bang!"
Francis, while showing off, is also reading Su Yan's defense; the moment he catches Su Yan's center of gravity shifting left, he accelerates on the right wing.
Only.
The moment he wants to break through, he is seen clearly by Su Yan.
Easily catching up.
"He can keep up with this?"
Francis is a bit surprised, but has no time to think, stops, pulls the ball back between his legs, and charges out again in a turn.
He can always find the moment to get past Su Yan.
But... just the next instant, Su Yan can keep up again, extending his hands to envelop Francis.
"How is this possible?!"
Francis, confused, sees that the shot clock is running low, and in a panic, stops and pulls up for a shot.
A bit rushed.
Well... all of this is completely under the insight of Su Yan's 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】.
"Bang!"
The "Steal Demon" is online; Su Yan, before his shot is released, thunderously cuts the ball down, leaving Francis only jumping in the air.
"Whoosh!"
Su Yan instantly charges out.
"Damn it!"
Francis curses as he chases.
Bulls' counterattack.
Su Yan and Francis run one after the other.
When the two cross half-court, Francis, who was originally behind, is about to catch up to Su Yan, but... when charging to the arc.
Su Yan, continuously accelerating, triggers the passive of 【Primary: Swift Footsteps】.
Running faster and faster, he once again leaves Francis behind, lifts the ball for a three-step layup, and easily completes the counterattack.
"Holy! Shit!"
"That's Francis, and Su Yan actually has the speed advantage on the fast break, using speed to leave Francis behind for a layup.
This is so exaggerated.
This is something Su Yan could definitely not have done before.
Su Yan is truly a peerless genius, and only such a gifted guy can have such an astonishing improvement in his speed in such a short time."
The commentator exclaims in admiration.
"Tch!"
Francis hums unhappily.
In the next two possessions, he first faces Hinrich, accelerates one step, stops one step, and accelerates again to create contact.
Astonishing explosion.
Allows him to tear through Hinrich's defense, charge into the paint, and "Burn Fire to the Heavens."
"Boom!"
A thunderous dunk.
This astonishing dunk presents his explosive physical fitness to the fullest.
And in the following possession, Francis pulls Antonio out to "military train" him, with a crossover change of direction like Iverson's signature.
Shaking Antonio until he doesn't know north from south.
"Whoosh~"
