The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

But he didn't know if it was the same model as the system mentioned.

The prompt tone continued,

"Ding, 'The Zone' function has been activated, please choose the activation time!"

"Take note, after activating 'The Zone' mode, the host's capabilities will be completely unleashed with the best condition, absolute control over the body, the ability to perform at the body's limits, and achieve theoretically optimal performance, but physical energy consumption will also correspondingly increase."

From the description, it seemed to be the "same model as Jordan." Su Wan had hardly any hesitation and decisively activated "The Zone" function.

"Ding, entering the zone mode..."

"Ding, zone mode activated successfully, the host can choose the time to exit, or wait until physical fitness cannot support the zone mode or automatically exit after the game ends."

With the system's female voice prompting again, Su Wan instantly felt he had complete control over his body; his spirit soared as if he had drunk an energy drink. Despite never having played basketball before, his thought process on the court became exceedingly clear.

This is...

The zone mode?

Jordan said the movements of the opponents would slow down, Su Wan hadn't verified this yet, but one thing he was absolutely sure of:

Right now, he was terrifyingly strong!

"Pass the ball!"

Su Wan raised his hand for the ball, his gaze exuding confidence as if he was using a superior shampoo.

He played terribly during the first half of the game with 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, and 3 turnovers. But being the tenth pick in the first round on the stage of the Summer League meant he was the "Chosen One," and this Cavaliers team configured for the Summer League was built for him. With the tactical priority and unlimited shooting rights, he could demand the ball unreservedly; his teammates, no matter how dissatisfied, had to pass him the ball obediently.

Of course, there was a difference between "Chosen Ones." Last year, when LeBron James, the "Chosen One," played in the Summer League, the Cavaliers' management brought half of the starting team to "study with the prince," an experience Su Wan couldn't match.

"Listen, Sasha Vujacic, before I go back to play table tennis, I'm going to send you back to Slovenia skiing first!"

Isn't it just a honey-coated mouth?

Who doesn't have one?

Su Wan's trash talk drew a scoff from Vujacic.

Vujacic did not take Su Wan seriously, even though Su Wan looked quite focused. But Vujacic knew his capabilities from the first half; not to mention the NBA, he couldn't even be the core in the Slovenian league.

Yet when Su Wan started dribbling, Vujacic's expression gradually showed astonishment.

"Thud thud thud thud!"

As the basketball followed the rhythm of Su Wan's fingers, dropping fast and bouncing again, it created a rapid, urgent sound.

That speed...

So fast!

"Don't look so overwhelmed already, Sasha. I haven't even started yet!"

While speaking, Su Wan passed the ball from between his legs to his left hand, during which his body slightly pressed forward to the left, shifting his center of gravity. In the instant when the ball reached his left hand, Su Wan's right leg, already coiled with power, kicked off the ground, propelling him forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Vujacic reacted, but Su Wan had already completed his breakthrough in front of him, directly entering the free throw line, gathering the ball, stepping forward with two huge strides, and concluding with a one-handed slam dunk.

The Lakers had help-defense personnel under the basket, but when he tried to stop Su Wan, Su Wan had already floated in the air, completing the bombardment.

Is this "The Zone" mode?

Su Wan knew very well, his original body's physical fitness was on par with Yi Jianlian in the CBA, but when Yi Jianlian later came to the NBA, his physical fitness was just above average. Even though Vujacic wasn't known for his defense, such an overpowering breakthrough was unbelievable.

It was entirely due to "The Zone" mode, where he could fully utilize every muscle and joint in his body to achieve such explosive power.

Brandon Malone was stunned.

He thought he was hallucinating.

But the cheers from the whole court reminded him, this hallucination wasn't just seen by him.

Everyone saw it.

Could it be, my encouragement worked?

"Come on, Sasha, and keep that mouth running, don't stop. I'm just beginning to enjoy your trash talk!"

Once you have a system, even your speech becomes bold, and your walk comes with a flair.

Su Wan's provocation left Vujacic with no escape.

At the same time, he couldn't believe that this Huaxia man, who had been utterly dominated by him in the first half, could continue to perform in such a surprising manner.

No, that's not right!

This wasn't a surprising performance.

I just wasn't prepared and let him succeed with a sneak attack for one round.

It was just a fluke!

Vujacic also forcefully drove through with the ball. Whatever Su Wan did to him, he did back. This was the pride of the Slovenian "Golden Boy."

Tall stature, solid dribbling, fully utilizing the protecting ball hand.

The technique and details of Vujacic's forceful breakthrough were perfectly handled. Only at the last moment, when he had just jumped off the ground 10 cm, Su Wan had already reached his highest point.

A solid slap, landing on the ball.

Like a hammer that couldn't bring back a lost love, it heavily struck Vujacic's heart.

Awkwardly falling to the ground, rolling around.

But Su Wan landed and immediately controlled the ball, quickly driving a counterattack.

Cheers erupted from the spectator stands, for his fierce block and also for the "Fast Attack Dunk" he was about to complete.

"Come on, Su!"

Brandon Malone's shouting also came from the sidelines, his expectant gaze on the Huaxia rookie needing encouragement, getting ready to score his second goal of the game.

What would it be?

Su Wan told him the answer.

Leaping into the air, both feet pushing off powerfully, Su Wan looked at the hoop, which was getting increasingly closer, and transferred the ball from his left hand to his right hand underneath his crotch.

"Bang!"

An under-the-legs change-hand dunk, the atmosphere at the venue reached its peak.

Su Wan was also thrilled by his dunk.

While retreating in defense, he showed off his jersey number to the crowd:

This is what you need to remember!

At this moment, everyone remembered his name:

Su!

From Huaxia!

This dunk also had a name:

The game is decided!

Vujacic, who had fallen to the ground, didn't get up for a long time, his eyes wide open like copper bells, his mouth as if stuffed with something, his face full of astonishment revealing his inner turmoil. He was pulled up by his teammates like a puppet on strings, his eyes flitting about, not daring to make eye contact with Su Wan anymore.

He had backed down!

Su Wan wasn't discouraged; he continued to perform various extreme actions he could do on both offense and defense, to his heart's content.

He was challenging himself and freely expressing himself.

This was an experience he had never had before.

He felt incredibly exhilarated.

Is this what a basketball game is?

If so!

Then he really wanted to shout:

I love this game!

"Bang!"

As Su Wan once again shook off his opponent and rushed under the basket, completing the basket on the other side despite the block, the opponent completely lost their will to fight.

Game over!
