Su Yan's Three-Point Arrows Were the Flames of Hell!

Knicks possession.

Duhong brought the ball up, intending to find Su Yan immediately, but the Warriors' second option, Corey Maggette, clung to Su Yan like a mad dog.

With that kind of defense.

Even if Maggette did not attack himself, he had no intention of letting Su Yan keep shooting Three-pointers.

Su Yan had already made six Three-pointers at a 66.6% rate. That was terrifying.

Although it was somewhat related to the lower defensive intensity compared to the first half, they still could not let him keep shooting.

Wilson Chandler stepped up to set a screen first.

Su Yan shook off Maggette, only to immediately run into Ellis's interception. Su Yan feigned a cut toward the basket, then doubled back.

He shook Ellis off again.

Curry rotated over once more. Clearly, David Lee was the Knicks' nominal core.

Yet everyone was running plays around Su Yan.

Seeing this, Duhong drove inside himself, drawing... Radmanovic's help defense and Maggette's attention.

"This is the moment!"

Duhong's gaze sharpened. He whipped a pass back to Su Yan, the ball grazing past the back of Maggette's head before landing precisely in Su Yan's hands.

That was a great pass.

"Whoosh~"

Su Yan caught the ball without hesitation and rose for a Three-pointer.

The ball flew out as Maggette's block came several beats too late, leaving him utterly bewildered.

It was practically an Open position shot.

This one?!

"Clang!"

Unfortunately, it missed.

"What a pity!"

Su Yan frowned. Maggette had lunged at him, but his defense had been no defense at all.

That had been a good opportunity.

With [Max Level Three-Pointer], missing that shot was somewhat inexcusable.

He felt a little frustrated.

He could clearly feel that after halftime, the Warriors' defensive intensity against him had suddenly risen.

It was now harder to shoot Three-pointers.

Which meant he needed to cherish the Three-point opportunities his teammates created for him even more and turn them into points.

"Smack!"

David Lee came back down the court and gave Su Yan a high-five, encouraging him.

Ellington curled his lip. "The Warriors really are going overboard, using this much defensive intensity on an Undrafted player.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a superstar."

"Haha!"

Duhong chuckled. "Exactly. But it's fine. I'll make an even better pass next time.

As long as you get an opportunity, shoot it without hesitation. Even if it doesn't go in, it'll still scare them."

Everyone knew Su Yan had missed.

But nobody said it outright. Instead, they comforted him, encouraged him, and praised him in their own ways.

Su Yan understood.

Warmth filled his heart. He nodded and kept his confidence.

Curry saw that scene just as clearly, and envy inevitably welled up in his eyes.

He was an Undrafted player, yet nobody even scolded him for missing a wide-open shot?!

What an incredible team atmosphere.

If I were on this team, I'd probably wake up laughing from my dreams.

Sigh...

There had once been an opportunity to join the Knicks in front of me, and I hadn't cherished it. Pah~ the Warriors had forcibly taken it away from me.

I'm~ so~ mad!!!

The more Curry thought about it, the angrier and more irritated he became.

The game continued.

Su Yan had missed on offense, but he did not relax. On defense, he joined Wilson Chandler in trapping Ellis.

Ellington behind them watched like a tiger eyeing its prey.

With nearly three men swarming him, they were about to force Ellis to give up the ball, stall his offense, and gradually cool down his scorching touch.

"Screech!"

Under the multi-man trap.

No matter how strong Ellis was, he was still forced to stop.

He passed it out... to Curry. It was another dump-off pass, though fortunately there were still nine seconds left on the shot clock.

Ellis doubled back and curled out again, preparing to get the ball and attack once more.

But Curry once again used his individual ability to shake off Duhong and create space for a Three-pointer.

"Give me the ball!"

"Are you going to shoot?!"

Ellis was frantically calling for the ball.

Curry hesitated over whether to shoot. It was an opportunity, but if he missed, wouldn't he get scolded again?

Hesitation led to defeat.

By the time he decided to shoot, Duhong had already caught up and disrupted him. His Three-pointer clanged off the rim again.

"S*it, bro!"

Ellis was furious. He had already gotten another chance to attack, yet Curry had not passed him the ball.

What was that supposed to mean?

Was the hierarchy being turned upside down?

If Curry had made that shot, Ellis might not have said anything. But it had clanged off the rim again.

Ellis was livid.

He stormed up to Curry and roared at him like a boss scolding an underling. "Stephen, what are you doing?

Did you take what I said as meaningless?

Everyone knows a Three-pointer is worth one more point than a Two-pointer, but if Three-pointers were that easy to make, wouldn't everyone shoot them?!

Do you think everyone else is stupid?!

Or do you think you're amazing, the team's leader, and can attack however you want?!"

???

Again?

If it weren't for you affecting me, I might've made that shot if I'd taken it decisively.

And you still have the nerve to talk.

Screw you.

Just shut up already.

Curry had had enough too. His eyes narrowed as he fired back, "I've always considered you the team leader.

I was only using some of the offensive moves I'm good at when the opportunity was there. I don't think I've done anything wrong.

If you keep thinking I'm trying to take your position and steal your spotlight, then it can only mean... you're not confident enough in yourself!!!"

He hit the nail on the head.

Curry had struck Ellis right in the heart.

As a second-round pick, Ellis desperately craved recognition. He feared being disrespected and worried someone would take away his position as the team's leader.

He lacked confidence.

Curry was absolutely right. He lacked confidence.

And the way he proved himself was... by scoring.

Like a lie exposed, like a thief caught red-handed in public, Ellis instantly bristled.

He roared in rage, "You dare talk back to me? Are you trying to rebel?"

"I'm only stating a fact."

Curry retorted calmly.

He was not flying off the handle, but now that he was truly angry, he no longer wanted to keep swallowing his frustration.

"That brat is ruining the atmosphere in the team's Locker Room!"

The moment Don Nelson saw Curry and Ellis arguing on the court, he immediately placed all the blame on Curry.

Right, whoever played poorly was the one in the wrong.

"Tweet! Tweet!"

He called a timeout directly.

Then planted Curry on the cold bench.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Coach D'Antoni curled his lips into a satisfied smile and could not help applauding.

His scheme to drive a wedge between them had succeeded completely.

He had a feeling that if Don Nelson were asked to trade Curry now, it would be effortless.

Moreover.

It had to happen quickly.

Otherwise... once Don Nelson calmed down and came to his senses, he might value Curry again.

With that thought.

D'Antoni made up his mind.

"Tch!"

Curry sat beside the water cooler. He did not argue with the coach; he was utterly disappointed in the Warriors!

Before long.

The game resumed.

8:11.

At the left Top of the key, Su Yan fired a Three-pointer over CJ Waterson's rotating block attempt.

It struck true, without the slightest error.

6:04.

Still at the left Top of the key, Su Yan used [LV1 Off-ball Movement] to shake off Maggette, who stuck to him like chewing gum.

He caught the ball and half-turned.

Then casually launched a Three-pointer.

Perfect form, a beautiful arc, and a precise strike on target.

"Swish!"

It went in again.

3:12.

At the middle of the Top of the key, more than two meters beyond the Three-point line, Su Yan received Duhong's kick-out pass and dribbled once in place.

USD +2!

He looked as if he were about to drive, then suddenly unleashed another supremely confident ultra-deep Three-pointer!!!

"What the hell is that?!"

Maggette clutched his head, horror flooding his face. "That shot... there's absolutely no way it goes in!"

The words had barely fallen.

"Swish!"

The crisp sound of the ball tearing through the net rang out, filling him with despair!

"COME ON!"

Reggie Miller looked exhilarated as he roared passionately, "Su Yan has made his ninth Three-pointer of the game!

Su Yan's Three-point arrows are like the flames of hell!!!"
