NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Chapter 96: Exceptional Talent, Full Power Unleashed!

The Thunder took the lead.

Switch to offense.

Curry pushed the ball over, positioned himself at the left arc, and Su Yan cut down the right wing first, then suddenly made a U-turn and ran up to ask for the ball.

Durant was shaken off, but Westbrook caught up.

Su Yan remained calm and unhurried, seemingly about to force his way into the ball, and then made another run down the court, just as Westbrook was about to chase.

"boom!"

He crashed into David Lee, who was trying to cover him.

However... just as Su Yan said, in order to save face for Durant.

This is aimed at everyone.

Jeff Green stepped in again, and the Thunder's entire team focused their attention on Su Yan.

Curry had an opportunity on the perimeter, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

It's a little short.

However... it's okay, David Lee and Tyson Chandler are still guarding the paint, with Tyson protecting the offensive rebounds.

I'm looking for Su Yan.

no chance.

Then pass it on to Curry.

Su Yan was also on the defensive, and the entire Thunder team was still watching, even though the ball was clearly in Curry's hands.

???

Fine, fine, you're just going to ignore me like this, huh?

Then don't blame me for being heartless.

Curry had a cool, baby-faced expression, and you really couldn't tell he was unhappy. He raised his hand and fired another three-pointer.

Don't give shooters consecutive opportunities to shoot.

Besides... that's Stephen Curry.

"Shh!"

It was accompanied by a beautiful swishing sound.

The basketball goes hollow into the net.

Transition of possession.

Westbrook pushed forward, scanning the game as he went, and saw Durant rushing to the right low post.

He's mismatched against McGrady and is calling for the ball.

Su Yan waited to one side, then joined the encirclement.

Westbrook lowered his center of gravity and paused, seemingly about to accelerate again.

"Dengdengdeng!"

Curry retreated.

"Wow~"

Just then, Westbrook suddenly pulled up from his left elbow and launched a mid-range shot.

He jumped straight up and down, raised the basketball high above his head, and only shot when it was slightly falling.

For a moment, his body froze completely in mid-air, looking quite awkward.

Therefore, some people call Westbrook's jump shot... "zombie jump shot".

"Shh!"

hit.

To be honest... in his early days, Westbrook's mid-range shot was actually pretty good; if given the chance, he even had a decent shooting percentage.

We won't discuss the later stages.

In the next possession, Jeff Green dominated David Lee in the low post on the left, overpowering his defense and attacking the basket with a hardcore drive.

There are also.

Jeff Green, who was drafted in the same class as Durant, was the fifth overall pick in his draft class and was once hailed as the player with the best chance of guarding Durant at Georgetown University.

They are also highly talented.

However... after three years of honing his skills, Durant became an All-Star caliber player with the "scoring champion" caliber.

Jeff Green, however, is only a competent starting power forward.

Durant was equally decisive, starting with a powerful dunk and then finding another mismatch opportunity against David Lee.

The signboard in front of the body has two directions.

Despite being the height of a power forward, he moved like a guard, changing direction quickly and continuously, making viewers' scalps tingle and their knees ache.

David Lee couldn't keep up at all.

I was completely shaken.

Durant drove to the right elbow area, stopped abruptly, and hit a mid-range jumper—his preferred way of scoring.

Steady as an old dog.

"Shh!"

Accurate hit.

Several talented Thunder players fully demonstrated their talent and ability on the offensive end.

Consecutive points scored.

The Knicks were not to be outdone.

Curry's three-pointer, and... his passes during drives, connecting the team.

Su Yan's style is more straightforward: three-pointers made while moving off the ball, and step-back three-pointers under intense pressure.

or.

An unreasonable three-pointer that ignores the defense.

Based on this, once a fast break opportunity arises, with the support of [Spring Man lv1],

Even when being chased by the defense, he can still counterattack with a powerful dunk.

With his three-point shooting and fast break offense, Su Yan perfectly fits D'Antoni's "run-and-gun system".

of course.

On the defensive end.

Su Yan also did his best, and when Westbrook shifted gears and accelerated, he fought back hard and forced him to stop.

Even if I can't keep up sometimes.

His height, wingspan, and the jumping ability of [Spring Man lv1] allow him to keep up and interfere with the opponent to some extent.

Against Jeff Green, you don't need fancy defense; just go head-to-head with him in terms of strength.

Jeff Green didn't have a solution.

On both offense and defense... Su Yan did a great job, even when facing a group of talented monsters from Thunder.

David Lee protects the rim; although he is not tall, he has a keen sense for rebounding and is fearless in physical contact.

This allows him to consistently protect the rebounds.

On offense, David Lee doesn't cling to the ball; when things are going well, he'll ask for it and go for the shot.

otherwise.

It's mostly about second-chance opportunities after protecting the rim.

As for Tyson Chandler, he was a pure blue-collar worker, just sitting in the paint.

Anyone who dares to rush in should be prepared to eat hot pot.

His absolute advantage in height and wingspan also allows him to protect the rim very well.

With these two guarding the paint, Curry and Su Yan on the perimeter can unleash their three-pointers without any pressure.

Finally, it's McGrady.

Uh……

McGrady is really not good right now. His starting role is more about boosting the Knicks' popularity.

He was plagued by injuries and illnesses.

As age increases.

The current McGrady lacks explosiveness, his shooting is inaccurate, and he's a defensive liability—he's starting to resemble... Allen Iverson.

It's alright in regular matches.

Su Yan and Curry can carry the team, but against a strong team like the Thunder, McGrady really slows down the team's pace.

Coach D'Antoni understands this too.

But since he's on a top salary in the league, we have to grit our teeth and make him a starter.

However... he was substituted after only 2 minutes, and replaced with Wilson Chandler, a swingman who was good on both offense and defense.

All of a sudden.

The Knicks' overall offense and defense have improved significantly.

The Thunder also substituted out their defensively renowned defender, Sefolosha, and brought in... Harden.

With 5 minutes remaining in the first quarter.

The "Thunder Trio" appeared on stage together.

"wooow~"

Su Yan glanced at the three somewhat inexperienced "MVPs" and sighed with emotion, "They really are someone I both miss and look forward to!!!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Curry's face showed his confusion. "What are you missing? What are you longing for?!"

"nothing!"

Su Yan shook his head and shouted again, "Don't get distracted! Russell's drives are unstoppable!"

"drink!"

Curry roared as he hurried after Westbrook.

Westbrook's explosiveness is truly remarkable. Many times, he receives the ball slowly and leisurely, seemingly always looking for a passing opportunity.

but.

Once the opportunity is spotted, the ball is slammed into the ground and the start is like a burst of nitro, instantly entering the penalty area.

He grabbed the ball and suddenly jumped up.

The terrifying burst of speed left opponents with no chance to jump and defend, or... simply not enough time.

Harden doesn't yet know how to step back, and his Euro step isn't very refined, but he has great physical gifts and a strong desire to drive to the basket.

The firepower is also sufficient.

Durant goes without saying; whenever he gets the ball, there are mismatches everywhere, and he excels at both shooting and driving to the basket.

A powerful weapon usually exists.

The "Thunder Trio" made the Thunder's offensive firepower... incredibly fierce.

In terms of pure offensive firepower, the Knicks are somewhat lacking, but fortunately they have defense and rim protection to make up for it.

For a while.

Both teams unleashed their talent and firepower, putting on a thrilling and exhilarating battle for the fans!
