Chapter 5

The old rascal maintained his aura and let Su Yan attack first.

"Snap!"

At the top of the arc, Su Yan held the ball facing Jordan, facing... the retired God, but there wasn't a hint of panic in his eyes.

【Steel Strength】 + 【Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor】.

Su Yan had no reason to fear anyone, even if... he was the God.

He used a continuous triple-threat feint, trying to shift Jordan's center of gravity.

"Such a rough triple-threat move, completely lacking deception."

Jordan shook his head, unmoved.

And while in the triple-threat, Su Yan's Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor constantly read Jordan's defense, his own center of gravity constantly dropping, waiting for the opportunity.

The moment Jordan's center of gravity shifted up and his own dropped to the lowest point.

The opportunity appeared.

"Whoosh!"

Su Yan suddenly started to accelerate, breaking through to the right wing; it wasn't very fast, but the extreme center-of-gravity difference acceleration left Jordan unable to keep up.

To be precise.

At that moment, Jordan, whose center of gravity had shifted up, was frozen in place.

Three-step layup.

"Swish!"

Su Yan scored easily.

"Hmm?"

Jordan was stunned, a bit surprised that he had been frozen in place.

"Why didn't you follow?!"

Skiles looked confused, "Su Yan's triple-threat was clearly very rough, and his speed on the breakthrough wasn't fast—no, his speed just isn't fast, giving people a slow, leisurely feeling.

Jordan could have completely chased him.

Was he taking it easy?"

"No."

Manager Paxson smiled and shook his head, "This is the bizarre part of Su Yan's style. He always manages to read the defense well.

Finding the best offensive opportunity.

Making opponents unable to keep up, or... freezing them in place."

"COME! ON!"

Crawford looked shocked, "Su froze the retired God in place on his first attack, isn't this a bit too outrageous?!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Eddie Curry clicked his tongue, "It was as simple as crossing the street in the morning; Su just scored over the God's head like that.

This is unbelievable."

"You call this an undrafted player?!"

Hinrich shook his head repeatedly.

"woooow~"

Pippen roared, even yelling at Jordan, "Old rascal, what are you doing, thinking about life in place? Move a little!"

"Haha! Got mocked."

Jordan laughed heartily, then his gaze narrowed, and he suddenly became interested, "He really has some tricks, I need to take it slightly more seriously."

【Su Yan 1:0 Jordan】.

Change of possession.

Jordan also held the ball at the top of the arc, facing Su Yan, also using the triple-threat, continuous feints, trying to shift Su Yan's center of gravity.

Looking for his defensive flaw.

U1S1.

Boss Jordan's triple-threat was truly very deceptive; with such continuous feints, an average player would either be drawn up or give up shooting space.

However.

The one defending him was Su Yan, Su Yan with the 【Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor】.

All these seemingly highly deceptive triple-threats were seen clearly in Su Yan's eyes; even as Jordan just held the ball up.

Su Yan saw through whether it was a real shot or a feint.

He didn't bite on the feint at all.

'He didn't bite on the feint at all?!'

Jordan felt a trace of surprise internally.

Su Yan, as a rookie, showed such calm defensive reading ability when facing the God, which also made Jordan feel very surprised.

But there was no time to think.

'Not moving? Then I'll just shoot.'

Jordan prepared to shoot a three-pointer, shooting right in Su Yan's face.

'The look at me, then at the rim, the posture of catching and shooting, the gradually bending legs—this is... a real shot.'

Under the 【Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor】.

Every move of Jordan's was seen clearly by Su Yan; with so many details stacked together, it was clear he was going to shoot next.

Thus.

Su Yan's gaze narrowed.

The moment Jordan gathered the ball to shoot, he swiped down fiercely, cutting the ball from Jordan's hands just as he raised it to his chest.

"Hey..."

Jordan subconsciously swiped his hand, and his whole body jumped up, looking like a foul, but in reality...

There was no hand contact.

It was incredibly clean.

The above... took a lot of words to say, but it all happened in a flash.

Throughout the process, Su Yan looked like he hadn't moved at all, only reaching out at the very end to disrupt Jordan's offense.

Completing an excellent defensive play against Jordan.

"What the f***!!!"

Crawford was shocked, trembling, "It's like this again, he clearly looked like he did nothing, clearly Su's defense looked very dull.

But.

He just managed to deliver a fatal blow at the end, nonchalantly disrupting the offense."

"Truly a bizarre defense no matter how you look at it."

Eddie Curry followed with emotion and surprise.

"What a sharp defense!"

Hinrich opened his mouth, as if seeing a ghost, "I can't understand how Su, an undrafted player who is only 19, has such seasoned defensive experience."

"unbelievable!"

Skiles widened his eyes, shouting in shock: "He doesn't move until he has to, and then he stuns everyone; Su's ability to read defense is so powerful."

"That's right."

Manager Paxson couldn't help but nod, "Su's insight is indeed too amazing; he always manages to grasp the flaws in the opponent's offense and defense.

Delivering a fatal blow.

Either scoring on offense or playing excellent defense.

So much so that... even if his talent is mediocre, he can still be outstanding on both ends.

However.

As a rookie who is only 19, no, an undrafted player, this kind of astonishing insight is simply inconceivable.

Extremely outrageous.

This is why his style of play looks so bizarre."

"That's right."

Skiles nodded like a bobblehead, fully agreeing, "Su's style is so seasoned, not at all like a hot-blooded teenager.
