Chapter 904
"Hah!"
Iguodala roared as he lunged out to the limit.
But he still became a background character, and Pierce hit the shot.
It wasn't that Iguodala didn't defend well, but... the hardcore strength was too strong.
In the following possession, Garnett also pulled Chandler out, accelerating after a pump-fake triple threat, passing Chandler in one step.
He took three steps and flew up.
Yao couldn't stop him under the basket either.
"Boom!"
Another violent dunk.
And in the very next possession, Chandler, in his favorite spot under the basket, once again faced Garnett, this time saying he had to lock Garnett down no matter what.
Could he do it?
He was thinking too much.
After continuous contact with his back, he suddenly made a front-step turn, going for a hook shot!
"It's a hook shot!"
Chandler saw through it and roared as he blocked it.
Little did he know... Garnett was faking the shot, pointing Chandler into the air, and easily making a layup with an up-and-under.
And if Chandler hadn't come up, Garnett would have really hooked it, and he could have finished this possession just the same.
Chandler, whose footwork couldn't keep up, just couldn't defend the "Wolf King," who was currently extremely talented and very versatile.
"Tsk tsk..."
Jon Barry clicked his tongue in surprise, "Did you see that? 'Wolf King' Garnett, teaming up with 'The Truth' Pierce, the combined combat power is too strong.
Two points are unsolvable.
This is very headache-inducing."
"Yes."
Jeff Van Gundy nodded and added: "Both of them scoring doesn't count for much.
If Pierce can't make it, Garnett can always make it; when Garnett's touch isn't good, Pierce can always stand out.
Alternating taking over the offense, keeping the team's firepower going.
This is what makes opponents despair."
It seemed to be such a principle, and this was the meaning of the existence of two super-stars.
However... the Bulls weren't afraid at all.
Their offense was also playing very well all along, especially Su Yan, who not only attacked smoothly himself but could also... connect the team.
Not by using his own gravity to forcibly gain more good offensive possessions for teammates.
But by delivering genuine brilliant passes.
8 minutes and 02 seconds.
The Bulls launched a fast break; Su Yan received the inbound pass from Chandler, rushed forward a step, and saw Iguodala charging to the front court.
His gaze sharpened.
A "quarterback long pass" across the entire court, accurately finding Iguodala, who was rushing to the front court.
Iguodala caught the ball without slowing down; it was too comfortable, and he could charge at the rim at full speed upon catching it. Pierce chased this ball very fiercely.
But he still didn't keep up.
"Boom!"
Watching Iguodala hold the ball high and hang on the rim for a dunk.
6 minutes and 39 seconds.
Su Yan charged into the left wing, looking at the shooter Hinrich lurking in the right corner, but in reality... he had eyes in the back of his head.
He found Yao, who was positioned at the left 45°.
"Whoosh~"
He raised his hand for a three-pointer.
An open three-pointer.
After Yao strengthened his three-pointer again in the offseason, it had become his regular offensive weapon for the new season.
As long as there was an open look, he would definitely shoot.
Coach Skiles completely allowed Yao, a 226cm tall center, to shoot three-pointers on the perimeter.
Yao?
"Swish!"
He didn't disappoint.
He accurately hit this 3-pointer.
"Beautiful!"
Su Yan high-fived Yao with a smile as he ran back.
Yao also shook his head, unconcerned, "Such an open three-pointer, hitting it is what I should do; it's nothing remarkable.
One day.
If I could be like you, holding the ball myself and pulling up for a 3-pointer against an opponent, that would be called cool."
Su Yan:???
A 226cm center, holding the ball on the perimeter, pulling up for a three-pointer against defense?!
Let's quit while we're ahead.
Just praising is enough.
Don't go too far!!!
"My God, the passing ability Su Yan showed in the preseason wasn't just a moment of luck, but real, solid stuff.
Tonight.
He delivered multiple brilliant passes again.
Such formidable passing ability; 'Emperor Yan' Su Yan has also developed passing ability this year, and he has become even stronger."
Jeff Van Gundy spoke with excitement, commentating passionately.
"Because of Su Yan's amazing passing ability, the entire Bulls team was activated early, making it hard for the Celtics to completely double-team Su Yan.
But giving Su Yan individual offense, he can always score.
Strong.
Su Yan always gives people a feeling of invincibility, as if he is an airtight wall that no one can break through.
However.
If defense isn't enough, offense will make up for it.
The Celtics are a 'double super-star' combination; if they keep playing offense, their firepower will definitely be no problem.
Pierce took the ball, posting up Hinrich in a mismatch, giving a step of contact with his back, turning and shooting a fadeaway jumper, doing the move fully.
Hinrich had no choice.
But this ball... Pierce didn't make it.
Is his touch declining?
But what does it matter? Garnett jumped up under the basket, grabbed the rebound over Yao, faked a shot, and suddenly jumped a second time.
Catching Yao off guard.
He made the putback.
Bounce, jump speed, athletic ability—"Wolf King" Garnett is top-notch, suppressing with full talent, eating Yao up once.
Transition offense.
Su Yan pushed it up, strolling leisurely, with Iguodala and Hinrich both charging fast on both sides, and Yao and Chandler also following quickly.
The Bulls' fast break.
Is Su Yan going to charge the rim all the way, or look for a teammate?!
Sure enough.
Su Yan still wanted to connect with a teammate; charging into the middle, he made a right-handed behind-the-back pass, looking for... Iguodala positioned at the left arc.
An open opportunity?
