Kyrie Irving's 53-Point Explosion

"I thought you'd turn tail and run like a coward!" After the game, Goodwin stared intently at Derrick Rose as he walked over and teased him.

Derrick Rose: ￣□￣｜｜

"How could I? I'm not that pathetic! I may have lost, but I'm not such a sore loser that I can't take it, right? I'll just fight again next time. Besides, I've already lost to you three times this season."

Derrick Rose replied with a helpless expression. In truth, he knew full well that after this game, he was genuinely at a loss, with no idea how he could face the overwhelmingly powerful Boston Celtics again.

Especially Goodwin. That guy was absurdly strong!

His skill set was far too complete. No matter how he was defended, he could always adjust his tactics immediately.

If he faced single coverage, he would force his way into isolation and easily break through the defense. If he was double-teamed, he could instantly transform into an outstanding passer and deliver exquisite passes to his teammates.

In this game, Goodwin racked up 28 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks—a dazzling stat line that made for a perfect double-double.

"Haha, that's the spirit!" Goodwin laughed heartily, giving Derrick Rose's shoulder a firm pat as he continued, "Don't lose confidence just because I've beaten you a few times! You need to understand—you're my stepping stone. Only by stepping over opponents like you can I climb to the top step by step!"

Derrick Rose: (O_o)??

Furious, Derrick Rose slapped away Goodwin's hand from his shoulder and said indignantly, "Goodwin, aren't you being far too arrogant? One day, I'll crush you completely!"

"Oh?" Hearing that, Goodwin looked into Derrick Rose's eyes and saw that the confusion there had been replaced
