Chapter 963

You have to defend, but the intensity cannot be too high.

This also gives the Bulls a slightly better chance to convert their offense and win the game with a buzzer-beater.

Who will this final possession be given to?!

"Give the damn ball to Su Yan!"

Coach Skiles doesn't want to say more; he directly shouts this classic quote.

This could be said to be a self-deprecating remark.

But saying it at this moment, to highlight Su Yan's greatness, it doesn't matter at all.

15 three-pointers + 77 points.

This is the score and performance Su Yan has achieved so far; impeccable, flawless.

If he doesn't take the final shot, who is worthy of taking it?

It is Su Yan, it can only be Su Yan.

The 76ers also know that the Bulls' final possession will definitely belong to Su Yan.

They are thinking of ways to limit Su Yan.

They can't limit him at all.

What they need to do now is to consume as much time as possible, leaving Su Yan with less time to shoot, or even making it impossible for him to shoot.

That is the best defense.

The outcome is not yet decided; the suspense remains.

"Boom!"

United Center.

The fans' emotions reach their climax at this moment.

The entire game has been too exciting.

Now... it is time to decide the winner.

Although the Bulls have guaranteed they won't lose, overtime has its risks; if they can win the game on this next possession.

That would be the perfect ending.

"Let's go, Bulls!"

"Charge, Flame Emperor!"

"The Flame Emperor is the strongest; just this one shot... beat the 76ers, destroy the three great shooting guards, and win another king!!!"

The fans are completely excited.

The cheers in the home arena surge like a tide!

At the commentary table.

Mike Breen is also very excited, "The Bulls have a chance for a buzzer-beater; this is completely worth looking forward to!

Also.

Su Yan has already exploded for 77 points; if he can hit one more three-pointer, I mean if!

Then.

He will reach 80 points, becoming the second 80-point man in NBA history.

That would also be the only player to drop 80 points in a single game since the 'Basketball Emperor' Chamberlain's 100-point game!"

"That's right."

Mark Jackson is also very agitated, "Last year, Su Yan and Kobe both dropped 70 points.

Throughout NBA history, quite a few players have dropped 70 points in a single game.

However.

80 points in a single game.

Except for Chamberlain, no other player has ever done it; tonight we may witness this miracle.

This is truly something to look forward to!"

As the commentators speak, the 4.1-second decisive moment on the court arrives.

The Bulls inbound from the sideline at mid-court.

McGrady and Carter follow Su Yan directly, not letting him catch the ball, but Iguodala and Chandler constantly set screens for Su Yan.

Su Yan also uses his speed and physicality, running and fighting through to get open.

Yao passes the ball immediately.

Su Yan catches the ball in the logo area at the right arc; the 4.1 seconds begin to tick away.

He quickly scans the players' positions, seeing McGrady and Carter both rushing out.

No hesitation.

He runs toward the other side immediately, attempting to shake off the two men.

Who knew.

Iverson appears halfway.

The three great shooting guards rush out to siege Su Yan; no one really wants to steal the ball from Su Yan.

They just want to prevent him from driving and consume time together.

Su Yan sees this, originally intending to run along the left side, shake off Carter and McGrady, and then jump shot near the basket.

Now.

He can only run laterally, shaking off Iverson who is pouncing on him.

The range is too small, the distance too short.

Su Yan rushes to the left logo area, and he hasn't fully created a gap from the three.

But.

Facing the three great shooting guards, dodging in the siege, the 4.1 seconds are down to 1.7 seconds.

No more hesitation.

No more waiting.

"Swish!"

Su Yan stops suddenly, the moment the three great shooting guards on the right rush over frantically.

He gathers the ball, jumps, and drifts to the left, launching a logo three-pointer.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Iverson, Carter, and McGrady all jump to block him together.

There is massive interference.

But they can't block it.

Yet the difficulty of this shot is truly heaven-defying.

Almost as soon as the basketball is released, spinning toward the sky, the 1.7 seconds run out.

The red light on the timer turns on.

The entire game time ends.

Now it depends on whether Su Yan's three-pointer can go in; once it hits, it's a buzzer-beater.

If it doesn't hit.

They go to overtime.

The basketball spinning in the air tugs at the hearts of the 20,000+ fans in the arena.

Everyone clenches their fists.

Staring intently at the basketball flying toward the rim, waiting anxiously.

"It has to go in!"

"Hit that damn basketball, no overtime, the Flame Emperor will definitely hit the buzzer-beater!"

"It must not go in!"

"From such a distance, while drifting, and under the block of three people, that is absolutely impossible to hit!!!"

"..."

Everyone is silently praying in their hearts, thinking of the answer they want.

What is the result?!
