Chapter 84

The referee called a timeout, temporarily interrupting the game.

Su Yan and the others talked as they returned to the bench to rest and cool down.

Damon, Dale, and other Trail Blazers players rushed over to "Black Bear" Randolph and "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rasheed, crouching down to check their condition.

"Team doctor, what are you standing there for? Go... go quickly."

Coach Maurice Cheeks was so panicked he couldn't speak clearly.

"Yes, yes, Coach!"

Several team doctors rushed over, cleaning Rasheed Wallace's wounds while immediately saying they needed to bring a stretcher.

Unconscious.

Completely unconscious.

Soon.

Two stretchers were brought out from the player tunnel, and the two big men, "Black Bear" Randolph and "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rasheed, were carried away in a hurry.

This scene looked shocking enough.

And if you think about the fact that the person who knocked these two out was a guard who looked gentle, your heart would be even more shaken.

At the scorer's table.

After carefully watching the replay, the referees gave the penalties:

Bulls side: Su Yan ejected; Yao, Hinrich, and Pippen each received a technical foul, and because Pippen had already received a T earlier.

With two Ts stacked, he was also ejected.

Trail Blazers side: Randolph and Rasheed ejected; Damon and Dale each received a technical foul.

At the moment.

The referees' calls were perfectly fine.

But tonight's brawl was not only chaotic but also very serious, and the nature was somewhat malicious; the league might add further penalties after the game.

Randolph and Rasheed had already been carried out on stretchers.

Su Yan and Pippen had no disputes with the penalties; after receiving the news and high-fiving their teammates and coaches, they left the arena nonchalantly.

As they walked into the player tunnel, there were bursts of applause from the stands.

Su Yan, without doing anything wrong, faced a gang-up provocation, fought two alone, and counter-killed both; this was a hot-blooded, true man.

This is worthy of respect and praise.

Pippen, in his retirement year, protected a young player and fought his heart out against the opponents, showing the style a team leader should have, also worthy of respect.

The fans gave their applause to the two without hesitation.

At the commentary table.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Even though the penalties were out and Su Yan, Randolph, and the four others had been ejected.

Doug Collins still clicked his tongue in wonder: "Honestly, I still can't figure out how an ordinary NBA preseason game could evolve into such a chaotic, major conflict."

"Ah, this~"

Eli Ott patted his head and laughed: "I didn't expect it either, but... if you factor in the "Gentle Thug" title.

It's barely understandable.

But ultimately, in a word, it is: 'Prediction Master' Su Yan is just too strong!"

"Wow~"

As time passed.

The fans, slowly coming to their senses, were all shocked, their eyes popping out, marveling at Su Yan's extremely powerful combat strength.

That "Gentle Thug" title, which had been hidden for most of the offseason, returned to the public eye once again.

Once again, it was about to be known by everyone.

And this time, the coverage was no longer the lukewarm Summer League, but the full-heat... entire NBA league.

First, about the game.

The Bulls were missing Su Yan and Pippen, the Trail Blazers were missing Randolph and Rasheed; it looked like the Trail Blazers were at a greater disadvantage.

In reality.

The Bulls with Su Yan had the strongest combat power; in the end... the Trail Blazers won the game.

However, with the situation having reached this point, let alone a preseason game, even in a regular-season game, the outcome would not be that important.

The next day.

Early morning.

"Shocking! A nearly 19-year-old guard fights two alone, beating up "Black Bear" Randolph and "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rasheed Wallace.

He is actually..."

From the *Los Angeles Shocking News*.

"So you're the one called "Roaring Heavenly Venerable", shattering your front teeth and making you roar with a whistle; so you're the one called "Black Bear", one punch is fatal, making you hibernate early.

"Gentle Thug" Su Yan.

Skillful in ball, brutal in martial arts, both civil and martial, full of handsomeness; he will be the brightest star among the supernovas." Source: *Chicago "Digging" Garden Newspaper*.

"Style is gentle, playing is clean, but when he really fights, he's like a brutal thug from the underworld.

Su Yan.

This undrafted rookie, he really is... a "Gentle Thug"."

Source: *Charlotte Meow Meow Newspaper*.

"Beating "Madman" Sprewell, crushing "Lone Wolf" Marbury, beating up "Black Bear" Randolph and "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rasheed Wallace.

Sorry.

They are all All-Star level players.

This is the ability of "Prediction Master" Su Yan, this is the talent and hard strength of the future "Jordan Successor"."

From the *Phoenix Times*.

""Undrafted" Su Yan is very strong!!!" Source: *Detroit Auto Newspaper*.

"..."

News reports about Su Yan spread through the streets and alleys again, shocking countless fans while making everyone more interested in Su Yan.

Even.

Many were drawn to him because of Su Yan's special "prediction" style, the powerful fighting ability of the "Gentle Thug", and his young and handsome looks.

What? Instant fan-girling!

At the same time.

ESPN's "PAGE 2" column forum.

A news piece titled: "Misconception! Su Yan: Gentle Thug" became a topic that many fans discussed tirelessly.

"Really, in so many preseason games, Su Yan has always played very gently, very cleanly, even with a sense of a humble gentleman.

A good player.

But... how did he fight like this, how did he instantly transform into a "WWE" player, like a beast in the "Octagon"?

An unfathomable change."

"Uh... although you can't call his style a "humble gentleman", it's true that he doesn't play with much contact, and his style is indeed gentle.

So.

In so many games, you really couldn't feel how powerful Su Yan's strength was, but how is he so fierce and vigorous when he fights?!"

"Ball skills are gentle, martial arts are thug-like, so... so Su Yan is a "Gentle Thug"!"

"He just doesn't like to play with contact, it doesn't mean he can't."

"That's right, we all fell into a misconception, a misconception that because Su Yan doesn't use his body much, he has no strength.

In reality.

Su Yan's bench press reached a terrifying 244 kilograms, surpassing "Iron Elbow" Karl Malone, the highest bench press record in NBA history.

You call this no strength?

How can you say Su Yan has no strength!!!"

"He just doesn't use his strength."

"That's right, Su Yan, whether on offense or defense, because he has an extremely powerful "prediction ability", can complete everything well." ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
