Chapter 530

~5 min read 982 words

The result?

The 76ers won again.

The Bulls lost again, and the key... the team's strongest core, Su Yan, only had 22 points to his name tonight, performing even worse than the previous game.

Consecutive losses + Su Yan's continued poor performance.

This suddenly panicked the Bulls fans, giving them a sense of crisis!

Why?

Everyone felt... this was no longer just the problem of a single core leading the team, but that this group of Bulls rookies truly couldn't adapt well to the intensity of the playoffs.

They were ultimately too green.

The good news was that the above was only the thought of a portion of fans with poor mentalities.

More fans still felt... after all, it was only a 2-2 score, the series still had plenty of suspense, and the Bulls had plenty of time to adjust.

Everyone also believed that the extremely powerful "Prediction Master" would soon adapt to the playoff intensity and then turn the tide.

Strongly leading the Bulls to win the series.

Then singing all the way to victory, going further and further on the playoff road.

However.

Another poor performance, coupled with the loss, left Su Yan in a bad mood, and he felt even more strange, thinking... it shouldn't be like this.

At the very least.

Facing the 76ers, who were not considered strong this year, they shouldn't be playing like this.

Otherwise, even if they won the first round of the series, they would likely be eliminated in the next round, and that was not the result Su Yan wanted to see.

In the current situation.

He didn't want to and wouldn't blame his teammates; going to a weak team and being the team leader was a thought he had from the very beginning.

He wanted to be the core and turn the tide.

So... Su Yan still placed the problem on himself; possessing the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, he shouldn't be stopped by the level of double-teaming the 76ers were using.

'Where is the problem, there must be a problem somewhere!!!'

Su Yan firmly believed.

He was still thinking, exploring where exactly the problem lay.

Meanwhile.

The duel between the Nets and the Heat sounded; the Heat, back on their home court, were in divine form, striking while the iron was hot, and taking another victory.

【Heat 2:2 Nets】.

The Heat tied the series score.

The young "Flash" Wei De dared to play and fight, performing brilliantly and providing the team with a significant boost in offensive firepower; his performance was a major factor in the team's win.

Over in the West.

The steady "GDP" defeated the Grizzlies once again, sweeping them 4-0; this made the Spurs the first team in the first round to sweep their opponent and advance.

The defending champions still had the strength they deserved.

In the Game 4 duel between the Kings and the Mavericks, the Mavericks, already trailing 1-2, would fall into a desperate 1-3 situation if they lost another game.

Tonight.

They had to win no matter what.

And so... the "German Tank" Nowitzki ushered in an explosion, one unstoppable "Golden Fadeaway" after another, making the Kings' scalps tingle.

Once Nowitzki played well.

Then Nash could deliver more assists, letting Nowitzki play even better.

In the end... Nowitzki exploded for 37 points, along with 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, contributing a super-divine performance.

Rewriting the series score to 2-2.

The next day.

In Game 4 between the Pacers and the Celtics, the Pacers didn't give the Celtics any more chances, taking series point with a 15-point advantage and a big win.

The duel between the Pistons and the Hornets was the same.

The "Five Tigers of the Pistons" had iron-blooded defense, defense that hit flesh with every punch, truly suffocating, leaving the Hornets unable to breathe.

The Hornets lost again.

The Pistons took series point.

In Game 4 between the Lakers and the Nuggets, the "Luxury Four Giants," having already taken series point, didn't want to waste any time, taking them out in one wave.

Sweeping the green Nuggets led by Anthony.

This made the Lakers the second team in the first round to advance to the next round via a sweep.

In Game 4 between the Timberwolves and the Rockets.

Even though they were missing the "Madman" Sipuleiweier, as long as the "Wolf King" Jianete was there, the Timberwolves still had powerful combat strength.

27 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks.

With the "Wolf King" putting up such stats, what reason did the Timberwolves have to lose?!

Impossible.

At least not for the Rockets led by "Boss Fu."

The Timberwolves won another game, making the series 3-1, also reaching series point.

Four games had been played in the first round.

The Spurs and Lakers had already swept and advanced, and teams like the Timberwolves and Pistons had also reached series point; the situation of the series was becoming clearer and clearer.

This also meant that the upcoming life-and-death duels would be more exciting and intense with each game.

One day later.

The Bulls would return to their home court to face the 76ers.

And at 10 PM on the night of Game 4, Coach Skiles called Su Yan into his office.

Coach Skiles looked very calm; the 76ers chasing back two games, coupled with Su Yan's seemingly pessimistic performance, didn't seem to affect him at all.

"Su Yan!"

He looked at Su Yan and said, "Does the intensity of the playoffs make you feel a bit strained, but... you also seem to feel that you shouldn't be this strained?!

However.

You can't figure it out, and the team has already entered a crisis; if this continues, there is a risk of losing the series!"

"Yes."

Su Yan was noncommittal.

The coach's words spoke to his heart, to the place that had been bothering him lately. ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
