Chapter 72

Because he is too strong, he attracted a wave of hatred.

Su Yan is targeted in the new season, so... if Su Yan can withstand the pressure and defeat the players he meets one by one.

That will skyrocket his popularity.

Commercial endorsements will be constant, his value will jump again and again, and he will make a lot of money.

Of course.

Su Yan might also, under the targeting, keep playing bad performances, fall from grace, and even lose confidence in surviving in the NBA.

That would be very bad.

Benefits and risks coexist.

But Su Yan likes challenges and also believes he has this ability.

2 days later.

The Bulls will welcome their second-to-last preseason opponent—the Trail Blazers—at their home court.

8:00 PM.

30 minutes before the game.

Both teams were actively warming up.

On the bench.

Coach Skiles looked at Su Yan and Yao warming up on the court and said to Manager Paxson with a smile, "Looking at the gelling state of the entire preseason and the players' combat effectiveness.

New season.

Not to say much, we should have no problem breaking into the playoffs again after 5 years.

As for how far we can go in the playoffs, I think... this depends on the growth of Su Yan and Yao over the season.

Especially Su Yan.

He possesses extremely strong predictive ability, but his personal technique is really rough; if his shooting can improve a little, and his rim attacking can be strengthened a little.

Not much.

Just a little bit of improvement.

Then, with the strengthening of his strong predictive ability, there will definitely be a qualitative leap, and the overall strength of the Bulls will also rise to a new level."

"Very good."

Paxson was very satisfied after hearing this, "Su Yan is the 'Jordan Successor,' we want to witness his growth, witness him leading the Bulls back to the peak."

At the commentary desk.

TNT commentators.

Eli Ott and Doug Collins commentated on this game.

"Although he is an undrafted player, Su Yan, known as the 'Master of Prediction,' has played a very gorgeous performance in the preseason.

It makes people's eyes light up."

"Yes."

Doug Collins nodded and smiled, "I thought that an ability like prediction, which is somewhat virtual, could still be used when facing players with weak talent and strength.

Therefore.

Su Yan could play an amazing performance in the Summer League.

But coming to the NBA, facing powerful players who are almost all geniuses, this kind of 'prediction' ability simply cannot be used.

Who would have thought.

Su Yan's first sword after landing, first beheaded an All-Star.

Continuously blew up 'Madman' Sprewell and 'Lone Wolf' Marbury, letting the whole league know that the 'Master of Prediction' is truly strong."

"Haha!"

Eli Ott laughed loudly, "Su Yan's weird and alternative 'predictive style of play' is like an old man, slow and leisurely.

However.

It's really amazing.

It's really possible to do whatever he wants, his ability has been verified in game after game.

And tonight's opponent, the Trail Blazers.

'Black Bear' Zach Randolph and 'Rasheed Wallace,' both not only have offense, but their defense is also strong.

Don't know.

If these two defensive stalwarts can limit Su Yan tonight."

"Tsk, tsk..."

Doug Collins couldn't help but click his tongue, "Two defensive stalwarts, don't know if they can limit a rookie undrafted player.

This kind of thing.

Sounds very strange.

But it also really shows that Su Yan has super-strong strength that exceeds the understanding of an undrafted player.

Looking forward to the real game matchup."

Before the game.

The two commentators warmed up for the game.

Soon.

The real game arrived.

The starters from both sides began to take the court.

Chicago Bulls starters: Point Guard: Hinrich, Shooting Guard: Su Yan, Small Forward: Pippen, Power Forward: Antonio, Center: Yao.

Portland Trail Blazers starters: Point Guard: Damon Stoudemire, Shooting Guard: Derek Anderson, Small Forward: Dale Davis, Power Forward: Rasheed Wallace, Center: Zach Randolph.

"Jump! Ball!"

The jump ball between Yao and Randolph.

Any suspense?

Not much suspense.

Yao tipped the basketball first, gave it to Hinrich to push, and executed the Bulls' first offensive attack of the game.

At the center of the arc.

Hand-off to Pippen, transferred to Antonio at the right high post, back-to-the-basket against Rasheed Wallace to chisel into the inside, but it was just a fake.

"Swish!"

Passed the ball again, to Su Yan who was cutting into the free-throw line, killed in.

Randolph came to help.

Left and right.

Su Yan's Euro-step under the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】... always works, shook Randolph into spinning in place, low-hand layup.

"Swish!"

Steadily hit.

And in the next possession, Su Yan first did a hesitation dribble fake to accelerate, passed Dale Davis, and after rushing into the rim.

Predicted Randolph would jump to dunk.

Pump fake.

Randolph took off.

Su Yan easily scored the layup.

"COME! ON!"

Eli Ott was excited, "'Master of Prediction' Su Yan, came up and continuously teased 'Black Bear' Randolph to score.

Quite strong."

"Yeah."

Doug Collins nodded repeatedly, "The third-year 'Black Bear' Randolph, he has grown into a core inside player averaging 20+10.
