The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Su Wan was recording a video with Erin, while the online discussion about the game was already heated.

No one had expected that everyone initially thought the rules were changed for LeBron, but the one benefiting the most turned out to be Su Wan.

Some of LeBron's fans, those brothers from the slums, were exclaiming online:

"See? Who is the biggest beneficiary of the rule change regarding footwork? That Huaxia person!"

"LeBron has been mocked for so many days!"

"Apologize, you all owe LeBron an apology!"

But facing these "loyal dogs" who jumped out immediately to defend their master, the mocking voices came quickly:

"That's still Su Wan's abilities, cleverly using the rule changes made for LeBron, making himself even stronger!"

"There's a reason he could win six championships in seven years, but looking at LeBron..."

"Now I understand why LeBron could never beat Su Wan, just like Bill Walton said, the strong never complain about their circumstances; they turn what's advantageous for others into their advantages!"

There were also those mocking the league.

A large part, if IP addresses could be displayed at this moment, would reveal they all came from New York:

"The league wants to stop the era of Su Wan by creating formidable opponents, but unfortunately, Su Wan is just that strong!"

"Hurry and change the rules again! I can't wait to see Su Wan figure out new tactics!"

"Don't know if the officials have a plan B, because as it looks now, the rules changed for LeBron have instead made Su Wan stronger."

"As a New Yorker, I must thank the league for changing the rules for Su Wan; it's given the Knicks a greater chance to defend their title!"

Actually, Adam and David Stern were also paying attention to this game.

After all, it was a "high-traffic battle," which as presidents, they had always to monitor closely. In case anything happened, they could respond quickly.

There indeed was an incident during the game.

Only, the incident...

was different from what they had expected.

When David Stern saw Su Wan's novel footwork, his brain shrunk.

You really got it, Su Wan!

Thinking about it, since the league rule change happened, Su Wan hadn't expressed any opinion about it. —That was a problem! With Su Wan's character, encountering something disadvantageous, how could he not react at all?

He must have been holding back this move?

Adam Silver's expression changed dramatically.

David Stern, who didn't want the league to become solely Su Wan's league, had thus agreed to support Su Wan's competitors, allowing Adam Silver to change the rules.

He wasn't targeting Su Wan.

He was targeting whoever sat in that position.

Adam Silver, however, had a very personal grudge against Su Wan.

This led to his actions being directly targeted at Su Wan.

Seeing LeBron frequently attacking the basket and scoring under the new rules, he was delighted; his beady, rat-like eyes gleamed with triumph:

Su Wan, can you withstand this move?

But, Su Wan pulled out the "SOMA step," fully exploiting the rules to the maximum, and instead had a more pronounced presence on the court, scoring 50-plus points in a single game.

This performance...

It was incredible!

Tonight's Heat Team was taken down single-handedly by him.

Also, the regular season MVP race between LeBron and him after this game seemed to have no more suspense. —It was already February, a "Shortened Season," and even though both were in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks and Heat Team would play only two games this year, with another one in mid-March.

But considering the formed public opinion and the on-court comparison observed during the normal games, everyone thought that now LeBron was already lying in a coffin, and that game would nail the coffin shut.

Let's just say, if there are a hundred reasons to choose LeBron, there would be ten thousand reasons to choose Su Wan.

The gap between LeBron and Su Wan became even more apparent after the rule change.

Yes...

Even if Adam didn't want to admit it...

The gap between LeBron and Su Wan had indeed grown larger.

In the past, Su Wan's "trick shot" under the basket wasn't adequate; he was better at using brute force to score, and the more gentle layup wasn't utilized much. Of course, it was only inadequate compared to the very top players; for an average All-Star in the league, Su Wan had no problems in this aspect at all.

Let's put it this way!

Now, Su Wan's forceful basket attacks and various shots with or without the ball had already reached a "historically top" level, but gentler layups, like the "time difference layup," or layups using footwork under the basket to change positions... such offensive moves were clearly lacking.

But now, Su Wan had compensated for that with his new footwork.

He had truly become a historical "Hexagonal Offense Warrior."

Compared to him, LeBron's attacks had merely become fiercer.

It was clear whose improvement was greater.

That was what bothered Adam.

He had already prepared a feast for LeBron and even provided a dowry, seeing the bride about to enter the door; then LeBron was pushed away by Su Wan:

"Move over, move over, I'll marry this one!"

Really damn annoying!

LeBron, who felt the same, had already arranged for Richie Paul to "pass the buck" the next day, but facing the media, he still had something to say: "Now everyone should see, I am not the biggest beneficiary of the rule change, but rather that guy who has never expressed any opinion on this matter, perfectly utilizing the rule."
