Chapter 517
"Holy! Shit!"
During the quarter break, Barkley held his head and exclaimed, "Su Yan scored 19 points in the quarter, the Bulls won the quarter by 14 points; who said Su Yan couldn't adapt to the playoffs?
Who said the Bulls aren't strong in the playoffs?
This... this is really strong; this has already displayed the demeanor of the league's number one."
"Exactly."
Kenny Smith nodded heavily, also very excited, "Su Yan is truly amazing, and the reason the Bulls can lead by so much.
Besides the offense.
Su Yan's defense on Iverson is also very critical.
I think... Iverson shouldn't be fixated on attacking Su Yan at all; he needs to avoid him, only then can he display his powerful individual strength.
Only in this way.
Do the 76ers have a possibility of turning the game around.
It's just... with Iverson's unruly, never-submitting personality, will he take the initiative to avoid an undrafted player?!"
"It's hard!!!"
Barkley shook his head.
That's right.
It's hard.
Even though he was blown out on both ends of the floor in the first quarter, Iverson still didn't believe in evil, still felt he could score on anyone.
Including Su Yan.
Can he?
Of course, there were possessions where he could score.
Afterward... Iverson, whose efficiency was not high to begin with, forced his way against Su Yan, making his efficiency even lower.
Even if he scored occasionally, so what?
After the half.
The 76ers had already lost by as many as 19 points; they had lost the possibility of winning the game.
And Su Yan... tonight, the more he played, the better his state became; he scored 30 points in the half, and in the 5 minutes he played in the third quarter, he got 5 points, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
Joining forces with Da Yao.
A 12:4 offensive storm was sent to Philadelphia, expanding the lead to a staggering 27 points.
The third quarter wasn't even over, but the game was completely blown open.
"Sigh...
Head Coach Chris Ford sighed helplessly, called a timeout, pulled his starters, and gave up on this game early.
However.
It was only giving up on this game, not giving up on the entire series.
In the end.
The Bulls slaughtered the 76ers with a huge 21-point advantage, winning the victory in Eastern first round G1.
After the game.
At the commentary desk.
Barkley glanced at the stats, amazement written on his face: "35 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 steals, 4 blocks. This is the answer sheet Su Yan turned in.
This is the performance of the 'Prediction Master' in his playoff career debut.
Unchallengeable.
Absolutely perfect.
He also led the team to a big win, ringing in a good start to their playoff journey."
"Exactly."
Kenny Smith nodded heavily and sighed with emotion: "With such a perfect offensive and defensive performance, I think... there shouldn't be anyone left saying Su Yan can't adapt to playoff intensity, right?
However.
His teammates, Da Yao, Hinrich, and others, performed average; it can be seen that under high-intensity defense, they really haven't adapted yet.
But that's okay.
A sufficiently strong Su Yan can lead the team to win, and can also give his teammates enough time to adapt; this is a capability a leader should possess.
Su Yan did very well, did very excellently."
"Boom!"
The home fans also gave the most sincere, highest-spirited cheers and applause, without any reservation, to Su Yan and the entire Bulls team.
This big win.
Made Bulls fans start to fantasize about the birth of a new "Bulls Dynasty."
On the court.
ESPN star reporter Marc Stein found Su Yan and smiled: "Su Yan, you played so well tonight, your performance was so excellent.
For you, playing in the playoffs for the first time, what kind of experience is this?!"
"Uh..."
Su Yan smiled, "I think it's no different from the regular season!"
"Haha!"
Marc Stein laughed, "Such a confident answer, but... Su Yan's performance is indeed the same as the regular season.
Stable and powerful output.
The 76ers seem to have no solution, so I also look forward to Su Yan being able to play just as well, or even better, in the upcoming series."
"Thanks~"
While Su Yan was accepting interviews and enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention, the 76ers' party left the court with gray faces.
Su Yan's unsolvability and this crushing defeat dealt them no small blow.
When they returned to the locker room.
Coach Chris Ford also found... Iverson immediately!!! ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
