Chapter 275: If the Heat Are Swept, LeBron Bears the Main Responsibility! (7)
Burning!
But hotter than this wave of heat is the defensive pressure exerted by the Knicks' 95 player, like a cheetah clenching its prey without letting go.
LeBron instinctively raised his iron elbow aiming to push Su Wan aside.
Su Wan, however, took on the iron elbow, sticking close with his left hand near LeBron's ball-holding hand, swiftly stealing the ball from his hands and quickly dribbling to launch a counterattack amidst resistance.
LeBron was caught off guard when Su Wan made a sudden steal.
By the time he reacted, Su Wan had already grabbed the ball and sped away.
First, he spread his hands towards the referee:
Foul!
On this play, Su Wan hit my hand!
Yet the referee insisted on not blowing the whistle, and by the time LeBron pursued forward swiftly, Su Wan had already completed a single-handed slam dunk and begun retreating for defense.
Coward!
This was the collective thought from various livestream channels witnessing Su Wan's defensive performance at that moment, and LeBron's reaction after the steal.
In contrast to Su Wan's decisiveness, LeBron's reaction was truly cowardly!
"LeBron's character really doesn't match his appearance!"
"Why is his first reaction not chasing Su Wan to get the ball back but complaining to the referee?"
"Just from this one play, it was destined that LeBron could never be Su Wan's opponent!"
On some online streaming platforms, the sarcastic comments were continuous.
Incredible!
Truly incredible!
Even those at the scene, the Heat Team fans, similarly frowned, feeling dissatisfied with LeBron's reaction.
One temperamental Miami person in the front row angrily said: "Stop complaining! LeBron, what you should do now is take back this play, damn it, I'm not here under sauna room temperature to watch you argue with the referee!"
LeBron, with a look full of warning, unhappily turned to glance at this fan.
This operation provoked some boos from the front row of the audience:
You act tough with us fans, why not take on Su Wan!
The Heat Team started counterattacking.
Yet again LeBron took the ball to the front court, seeing Su Wan immediately approach with an aggressive face, LeBron chose to pass the ball to Wade.
Unbeknownst to LeBron, this gesture led some fans in Miami bars to smash their beer bottles.
"Can this damn Cleveland man at least have some guts, not act like his utterly absent daddy?!"
Facing Paul George with the ball, Wade amidst Tyson Chandler and Su Wan's "Mysterious Steps" successfully faked out space for a shot, followed by a "Wade's fall" tricking Paul George into a foul, and hitting the basket.
Dwyane Wade!
It's still gotta be him!
Countless Miami people had the same thought at this moment:
At such times, their belief rested on their "Old Team Spirit."
The extra free throw also went in.
The Heat Team had the opportunity to stabilize the situation.
They began targeting Su Wan for defensive restriction, aiming to prevent him from receiving the ball.
But in this round, once Su Wan got the ball, he immediately jumped up; Wade stuck defensively to him but seeing him jump, fearing he might be tricked into a foul, he had to pull back, leading Su Wan to complete a three-point shot right in his face.
"Swish!"
The moment the ball went into the hoop.
All Heat Team fans on-site suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, even the temperature at the venue felt lower.
"This is too soul-crushing!"
Even Barkley, considering himself Su Wan's "biggest fan," in seeing Su Wan hit such decisive three-point shots at this time, had to once again increase the height of Su Wan in his heart.
This person is truly a bug on the court.
Barkley suddenly felt it didn't matter which era he was born...
The 80s had "Magic Bird," the 90s had Michael, the 00s had Su Wan, the 2010s visibly still belonged to Su Wan.
Over these 40 years, regardless of the era, the outcome wouldn't change much.
Ultimately, it's just not crazy enough!
Of course, his wildly insane thought was:
Michael Jordan, this old chap had good luck, escaping an ordeal.
If he were in Su Wan's era...
Could he still achieve such performance?
Barkley held doubts.
The Heat Team's offense execution still went to Wade.
These two plays LeBron basically brought the ball to the front court, only to immediately pass the ball to Wade.
Facing Su Wan, he always felt nervous inside, preventing him from commanding smoothly.
Watching him pass the ball once more, on-site Miami people had no reaction, their hopes for this match long placed in Wade.
As for LeBron James...
Better not mention him!
"Smack!"
This round, Wade couldn't shake off Paul George.
After being tricked into a foul last round, George made up for it actively this round.
All the way into the basket, remaining in front of him, and such defensive quality made Tyson Chandler's supplementary defense extremely precise, firmly and viciously swatting Wade's layup down.
The ball flew outside.
Su Wan collided with LeBron.
LeBron fell to the ground, again looking at the referee, while Su Wan staggered his body slightly, then chased after the ball, gaining control of the ball just before it went out of bounds.
Then, panting heavily, he sprinted all the way, completing a fast-break counterattack.
"Buzz!"
Spoelstra, seeing the point gap about to open to over 5 points, had no choice but to call a timeout.
