NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

The first quarter lasted five minutes.

Stephen Jackson felt like his bones were about to fall apart, and as for being humiliated... he was numb to it all.

"Want to come again?"

Su Yan asked with a smile.

He was enjoying the power boost from [Steel Bones lv1].

His seemingly harmless smile... instilled fear in Stephen Jackson, known as the "Martial Saint."

Just like McGrady, David Lee, and others have said.

The "Martial Saint" bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Or perhaps... he's good at using the rules and his physical talents to play basketball and survive in the league.

He understands.

If you fight fiercely enough, most people will avoid you.

That would increase your scoring probability, improve your defensive effectiveness, and make your overall performance better.

Naturally, you'll earn more money.

In fact... Stephen Jackson was a very good person in private, and violence was definitely not his defining characteristic.

Not much to say.

In 05, Hurricane Katrina swept through the city where Jackson's family and friends lived.

Upon hearing the news, he immediately spent a full $50,000 to send two helicopters there.

He invited all his relatives and friends to his home.

More than 30 people crammed into six rooms in their home for two weeks until the hurricane danger passed.

to be frank.

This is not something an ordinary person could do.

This one incident alone shows that Stephen Jackson was not a bad person.

Even on the sports field.

He's just a violent player, aggressive on defense, and never gives up. If he were to really attack, he could be incredibly damaging.

Not really.

As for the "Auburn Hills Palace" incident, all I can say is... everyone has moments of extreme anger.

We shouldn't condemn them all at once.

Besides... even such a volatile player, in the twilight of his career, under the tutelage of Coach Popovich, showed an unprecedented level of docility.

In general.

Stephen Jackson is fundamentally different from Green ("Kicking the Ball"), Zaza ("Footprinting"), Bruce Bowen ("Uncle Bowen"), and Bodog ("Bad Guy"), among others.

of course.

His mouth is harder than anything else.

"Bring it on, I'm not afraid of you!"

He gritted his teeth and roared.

It wasn't a fearless shout, but rather... a pain so intense that all he could do was grit his teeth and roar.

Hey……

Stubborn people will stick to their act no matter what, even if it means gritting their teeth.

"Beep!"

Fortunately, Coach Larry Brown noticed in time and called a timeout.

They interrupted the two-way, one-sided back-and-forth between them and immediately provided Stephen Jackson with psychological counseling.

He was told to give up on confronting Su Yan head-on.

Stephen Jackson appeared reluctant, but felt he could still fight back and even adapt quickly.

When Gerald Wallace said he wanted to switch back, he immediately agreed.

It really hurts.

He no longer wanted to confront Su Yan head-on.

Not a moment.

Pause back.

"Elvis" Gerald Wallace first protected the rebound in a tough battle with David Lee.

"boom!"

Another powerful collision, a hard-fought battle, resulted in a second strike to David Lee's head.

Very hard.

In the next possession, Harrington's drive to the basket was swatted away by Gerrard.

Out of bounds.

After McGrady got the ball, he used a screen to drive in again, but he was no longer at his peak.

"boom!"

He was forced to stop by Gerrard's tough defense.

That wasn't the end of it... He even snatched the basketball from McGrady's hands when McGrady hesitated about who to pass it to.

They plundered like bandits.

"So...so hard!"

Commentator Kenny Smith exclaimed, and Amy Johnson nodded in agreement: "Gerrard's defense is really tough."

this year.

He's a strong contender for Defensive Player of the Year!!!

Pause back.

Gerrard's consistently tough defensive performance earned him praise, and then... he went to find Su Yan!

In the eyes of everyone.

Only a formidable player like Gerrard could put pressure on Su Yan on the defensive end.

Stephen Jackson? Get out of my way.

Offensive and defensive transition.

Gerald Wallace has his eye on Su Yan, who is also a small forward. He is strong, explosive, and fast.

This is why he can become a defensive stalwart.

Su Yan should have used [Off-the-ball movement lv2] to get rid of him and then attack.

but.

He is currently still immersed in enjoying the power boost brought by [Steel Bones lv1].

Stephen Jackson is not good.

Gerald Wallace, on the other hand, might excite Su Yan even more, at least keeping his fighting spirit intact!

Su Yan asked for the ball.

"Oh?"

Du Hong was somewhat surprised. In previous games, Su Yan had mostly relied on screens or caught and shot after making runs.

Actively ask for the ball.

That's really not much.

Of course... as long as Su Yan wants it, Du Hong will definitely grant it, and he completely trusts Su Yan.

Right side arc top.

Su Yan faced off against Gerrard. After his teammates created a little space, he passed the ball and accelerated his breakthrough.

It's not fancy at all.

It's all brute force.

It perfectly fits the current era of physical combat, making people wonder if Su Yan is still a potential star in the small-ball era.

but.

This kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat is just as enjoyable to watch, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats and eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Su Yan vs. Gerald Wallace.

Who is stronger?

"Bang bang bang!"

The continuous and intense confrontations were tinged with a hint of probing.

Su Yan could clearly sense that Gerald's strength was much greater than Stephen Jackson's.

"Some strength, but not much!"

After several attempts.

Su Yan also figured out Gerald Wallace's strength; he had some ability, but he was definitely not at LeBron's level.

There's still a long way to go.

Even he was no match for someone who could bench press 180 kilograms.

"Bang bang bang!"

Su Yan tensed up and charged forward again, leaving Gerald with no choice but to retreat step by step.

"boom!"

Once again, Su Yan drove past Gerrard and launched a jump shot from the right side near the basket.

"Bang!"

Missed.

In the next possession, he once again bumped into Gerrard, but his layup missed as Diaw tried to help defend.

Uh……

Su Yan can get past Gerrard, but... he lacks the ability to finish plays at the rim right now.

It cannot be converted into points.

Su Yan immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, feeling somewhat bored.

Everything you do is wasted effort if it doesn't translate into points!

The first quarter is over.

In the first half, Su Yan completely suppressed "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson in both offense and defense.

In the latter half, Su Yan displayed even greater destructive power than "Elvis" Gerald Wallace.

His ability to finish at the rim is average, and his efficiency is mediocre.

After avoiding Su Yan, Stephen Jackson quickly adjusted and resumed his aggressive play.

[Knicks 27:27 Bobcats]

The two teams were tied after the first quarter.

On the bench.

Su Yan snapped out of his reverie, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Looks like I need to change my approach!!!"
