Curry's regular season three-pointers sometimes go cold due to his shooting touch.
Su Yan's three-point shots seem to go in whenever he gets a chance, and he can even extend his range indefinitely.
He can hit logo three-pointers with pinpoint accuracy.
This three-point accuracy is terrifying, astonishing, and enough to make opponents collapse!
"This guy is a monster!"
Lakers Power Forward Humphries cursed in frustration.
A 8-point score difference.
The pressure was on the Lakers.
Their comeback momentum was also interrupted by Su Yan's logo three-pointer.
The Lakers' faces were grim.
Were they going to wait for Su Yan's shooting touch to go cold again?!
It seemed like a viable strategy.
Curry was a prime example, but because it was Su Yan, no one dared to think that way or gamble on it.
"Don't panic!"
Kobe reminded his teammates: "Su Yan can make those shots, but it doesn't mean we can't score.
And...
If we fight to the end and continue to apply enough defensive pressure on Su Yan, I believe opportunities will still arise."
"Oh!"
Everyone agreed.
Both teams' fighting spirit was still high.
The fierce battle continued.
Soon.
Only the last 5 minutes remained.
The Lakers were still trailing by 7 points. They needed to stabilize their offense and, at the same time... stop the Knicks' offense on the defensive end.
The good news was...
Curry's shooting touch was cold right now, so they didn't need to worry about him for the moment.
As long as they focused entirely on Su Yan and defended him, they still had a chance.
George's cut was blocked by Artest.
Bynum secured the rebound and passed it to Paul, who pushed the ball upcourt. At the top of the key, it was a hand-off to Kobe.
Kobe went one-on-one against Tony Allen.
