He's Not the Protagonist! Su YanThree-pointer Barrage!

Curry, despite being the Knicks' second star, was no match for Kobe and Paul.

Terrifying.

This looked like a terrible situation.

In the stands.

Many fans wore worried expressions.

"Stephen is completely shut down. He can't seem to score at all. It's scary.

The Lakers led by 8 points.

On the Knicks' substitute bench.

Curry slumped into his chair, shaking his head frantically. "Kobe and Chris are too powerful.

I don't think I can handle them."

"Yeah."

Tony Allen nodded repeatedly, looking like he was about to cry. "I won't even talk about
