The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

This play, he didn't hurry to pass the ball, looking for a teammate's position.

Instead, he let the rhythm fall into place, facing Wade's defense, and he slowly used a "dragging step" to probe Wade's defense, after shaking his center of gravity, he started off, moved sideways to create space, and lifted his hand for a steady mid-range hit.

Barkley exclaimed "Wow," shaking his head in admiration.

That was so steady!

Shaquille O'Neal also said: "You can't help but think of Jordan!"

In fact, at the moment Su Wan hit the shot, there was a sigh from the audience seats.

They also knew how important it was to seize the initiative, but as a result, they couldn't seize this advantage...

Su Wan's goal made some Heat fans involuntarily look up at the number 23 jersey hanging in the arena.

This was Pat Riley's clever move; Michael Jordan never played for the Heat, but he still retired the Heat's number 23 jersey.

As if from then on, the "God of Basketball's" spirit would bless this arena.

Unfortunately...

"The God of Basketball's" spirit now met the "True God"!

Tyronn Lue, seeing Su Wan's goal, couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.

Honestly, as a player who collaborated with Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal, he could really see the same dominance in Su Wan as in those two...

Their presence on the court was the same.

As Tyronn Lue predicted, seizing the first attack rights, the New York Knicks had enough initiative, and in the ensuing time, they pulled ahead by 2 more points.

At 5 minutes and 34 seconds into the first quarter, the New York Knicks led by 10 to 6.

Don't look at the lead; it's not much, but in tonight's state of both sides, these 4 points are more significant than the usual 8-point advantage.

Because tonight, scoring is truly too difficult...

Spoelstra called a timeout.

In just five minutes, all the players' shirts on the court were almost wringable.

The Heat's staff brought in ice-cold towels.

When LeBron put those towels on himself, the immediate cooling sensation made him involuntarily roll his eyes with comfort.

Other Heat players also visibly regained much of their vitality in this chill.

On the Knicks' side, the staff was complaining about the arena not providing them with ice water.

Mike Malone wasn't surprised: "This is the away game!"

They had anticipated it long ago.

"Change it up!"

Tyronn Lue proposed the most direct solution.

D'Antoni agreed.

Tyson Chandler was substituted.

Such a big guy, playing in this environment, his physical fitness consumption is actually the most severe.

Then the New York Knicks also substituted Stephen Curry and Paul George.

The substitutes who went on were Artest, Ray Allen, and Vince Carter.

This lineup is very "small," directly putting Boris Dior in the five-position.

But the shooting ability of this lineup is very strong.

D'Antoni agreed to this change in formation.

He also saw that in this current situation, being able to score is more important than being able to defend.

In the present situation, this lousy environment could already form an invisible shackle, and everyone's scoring ability was worse than usual. It was just a matter of degrees of difference.

Additionally...

"We won't call timeouts; everything is up to you to handle!" This was D'Antoni's final remark.

Opposite, as soon as there was a timeout, there was enough logistics to help them cool down their bodies, such logistics they did not have. Since this is so, then don't call timeouts, wait for "dead ball time" to substitute, in this way, if the opponent wants a break, they can only call a timeout themselves.

At least the opponent's artificial "cooling" also used up their timeout count.

This, too, was a way to make the opponent pay in the game.

The game restarted.

The opponent's first ball after cooling down was successfully hit.

There was an immediate burst of enormous cheers on the scene.

Along with it, the whole place was filled with a mist-like fog.

Hot!

It's so damn hot!

Originally, Su Wan was also thinking of helping his teammates find their rhythm, but the opponent scored immediately, not giving the Knicks any trial space, he responded very toughly by playing solo to help the team compete.

Spoelstra shook his head helplessly.

No...

Does this guy have an air conditioner in his body?

Why is he not affected at all?

How do you play against such a "monster"!

In the VIP box, Pat Riley also shook his head slightly, with a look of "how could there be such a guy."

He was very regretful for not having obtained Su Wan back then...

At the time, because he had already hooked up with Chris Bosh, he thought of getting another "Super Star", which could form a luxurious "Peak Three Giants." Even if Su Wan stayed with the Pacers, he would not worry too much.

Now it seems, his estimation of Su Wan was still too conservative.

"Hoo!"

"Hoo!"

"Hoo!"

Su Wan kept taking deep breaths, making adjustments.

He didn't feel no heat, nor did he not feel irritation.

He could even feel his condition fluctuating...

All he could do was continually chant silently:

Damn Pat Riley, damn LeBron, damn Miami...

Anger kept him focused and made him try to overcome the bad environment.

And his scoring also steadied the Knicks' position; in the next play, they defended very successfully.

Now it was the Heat's turn to start getting nervous.
