Chapter 755: Finally appearing

It's not that he doesn't want to, nor is it that he is deliberately holding back; it is that the entire Bulls team has transformed and become stronger.

It allows him not to have to struggle as hard as last season in every game and still be able to win.

That is enough.

But tonight is different; the opponent is the odd-year Spurs, and they have added an extra core-level player in his prime, Ray Allen.

Such a Spurs team is too strong.

Even if the Bulls perform normally and Su Yan is also playing normally, they are still trailing.

Then Su Yan can only play more fiercely than usual.

Just as the outside world says... Su Yan is about to activate "Full-Power Su" mode.

A while later.

Returning for the second half.

Bulls' ball possession.

Su Yan brings the ball up unhurriedly, facing Ray Allen at the left arc, slowly lowering his center of gravity; he doesn't need the prediction of the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】.

He pushes off the ground to accelerate, aggressively attacking Ray Allen on the right.

He can't be stopped.

Ray Allen simply cannot block him.

Su Yan forces his way through Ray Allen's defense, scoring with an unreasonable layup at the rim.

There is only one purpose for doing this: to give the opponent a sufficiently powerful offensive deterrent, making them feel fearful and flustered.

Shaking off an opponent for a standard jump shot vs. unreasonable rim attacks under full-force defense.

Obviously.

The latter has more lethality.

And during the transition, Su Yan also locks onto Ray Allen, using his extremely powerful defensive ability to shut him down.

But Ray Allen is not stupid.

After one attempt to play Su Yan one-on-one and failing to score, he decisively passes to a teammate, seeking extra opportunities to catch and shoot while running off-ball.

And the focused Su Yan sees his defensive concentration rise sharply.

Parker takes the ball, shakes off Hinrich's defense, but encounters Iguodala's help defense; unhurriedly, he throws a pocket pass to find Duncan under the basket.

Duncan feints a shot to get Yao to jump, steps forward, and prepares to bank the shot.

But just as the basketball leaves his hands, the moment before it is about to touch the backboard.

"Bang!"

Su Yan, who had been watching the whole time, chases him down and delivers a chase-down block against the backboard, swatting Duncan's layup away.

The deflected basketball is secured by Chandler; Iguodala, head down, accelerates with full force, sprinting down the court.

Chandler quickly passes the ball out; it isn't perfectly precise, but fortunately, it doesn't have much impact.

Iguodala, having waited a step, catches the ball, starts his three-step drive, and finishes with a gliding slam dunk, igniting the entire arena.

In the ensuing defensive phase.

Su Yan seeks out the "French Sports Car" Parker; at this time, Parker's speed is truly fast, and describing it as lightning-fast is no exaggeration.

However.

Su Yan is faster.

On top of that... Su Yan has greater strength and leaping ability than Parker, and his height and wingspan also completely suppress him.

Most crucially.

Su Yan also has the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】; even if Parker changes rhythm to drive past him, it means nothing in front of Su Yan.

He is seen breaking through Su Yan's defense and rushing to the left low post.

Taking the ball in his right hand, he pushes it quickly to the left, then connects with a signature quick spin.

An average person simply couldn't handle it.

But Su Yan sees it clearly; the moment he pushes the ball and wants to gather it for a spin, he reaches in directly and strips the basketball.

He pounces on it, grabs the ball, and goes coast-to-coast for a fast-break.

Bowen on the wing grits his teeth and chases, but Su Yan, under the effect of 【Intermediate Swift Steps】, only gets faster and faster during this full-court counterattack.

So fast that... Bowen doesn't even have a chance to commit an intentional foul.

"Boom!"

Unlike in the past, where he could only manage a forced dunk.

Su Yan, with his jumping ability maxed out, grabs the ball and flies up for a "C"-shaped violent dunk with his bow pulled to the limit.

Maxing out the aesthetic appeal.

Even though this is the Spurs' home court, quite a few fans let out gasps of amazement.

Is it hard to admit Su Yan is strong?

Then cheer for him!

"Beep!"

Su Yan's stylish steal-and-dunk sequence strikes a heavy blow to the Spurs' morale.

Forcing Old Man Popovich to call a timeout.

He has no choice but to use this method to slow down Su Yan's absolute dominance on both ends of the floor.

"This guy is serious now!"

Old Man Popovich's expression is grave, "Su Yan has activated full-power mode!"

"So strong!"

Duncan can't help but exclaim.

"Yes."

Parker also nods involuntarily, "When my rhythm is up, that spin move after putting the ball down, there are really few people in this league who can keep up.

Whether I can score is my business.

But being stolen from one-on-one almost never happens, yet Su Yan did it; his defense is truly powerful!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Ginobili also can't help but click his tongue, "It's not just the defense; our one-on-one offense also can't stop Su Yan's forward momentum.

It's too simple, too easy, too effortless for him to score; no one can limit him."

However, hearing the players' somewhat discouraged words, the old man furrows his brows even tighter.

He says in a deep voice, "Su Yan's strength is beyond doubt, but... the Bulls' strongest point is Su Yan.

The rest are not our match.

The combat effectiveness of our other players is far above that of the other Bulls players.

So now our core goal is to limit Su Yan as much as possible.

Although I actually don't want to, we must now apply a higher level of defensive intensity to Su Yan.

This is the behavior of an inferior horse.

But now, for the sake of victory, we need to do this."

The players understand.

And so, after returning from the timeout.

Bowen and Ray Allen double-team Su Yan, while Parker's steals and Duncan's help defense on the wing are ready to follow at any time.

All the Spurs focus their defensive attention on Su Yan, determined to lock him down.

And the result?!

Su Yan, having activated "full-power mode," first pulls up and shoots over the defense of both Bowen and Ray Allen.

The difficulty of this shot is quite high.

"Swish!"

But Su Yan still hits it unreasonably.

Then, the next possession... Su Yan faces the defense of both Bowen and Parker.

He first bumps Bowen aside, uses a crossover to shake off Parker, and then rushes into the paint, only to encounter Duncan's help defense.
