Damn it, is this a rookie?

"BEEP! BEEP!"

With the sound of the whistle, the first half came to an end.

Under Su Yi's leadership, the Cleveland Cavaliers played a fluid offensive game in that single quarter, scoring a full 32 points.

(LeBron James: ???)

A 32-to-20 quarter, outscoring the San Antonio Spurs by 12 points.

55 to 38!

The Cleveland Cavaliers headed into the second half with a 17-point lead.

This naturally led the fans at Quicken Loans Arena to pop champagne at halftime, celebrating wildly.

Back in the locker room, Su Yi was showered with praise from Coach Mike Brown and his teammates.

Su Yi responded with a smile and threw in a bit of social grace: "It's all thanks to the boss for setting a good start. Without the boss, we wouldn't have played so smoothly."

As soon as the words left his mouth, LeBron James silently gave Su Yi a thumbs-up in his heart. Not bad, rookie!

"Exactly, the boss is too incredible!"

"The boss is too fierce—19 points by halftime."

"The opponents have no one who can contain the boss."

The teammates chimed in one after another.

LeBron James's grin was so wide even an AK couldn't hold it down!

"Let's all work together and fight for the win in this game! Get that second straight win of the season!"

LeBron James, as the team's leader, couldn't help but stand up and shout.

"Two in a row!" "Two in a row!" "Two in a row!"...

After a brief halftime break, both teams' players returned to the court.

Right from the start of the second half, Tim Duncan began to assert himself—low-post singles, mid-range jumpers, drawing fouls... whatever he tried, it worked.

Drew Gooden simply couldn't handle Tim Duncan.

Tim Duncan went 5-for-7 from the field and 8-for-10 from the free-throw line in that quarter, exploding for 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist, leading his team to a furious comeback and cutting the deficit by 11 points in a single quarter.

After three quarters!

76 to 70!

The Cleveland Cavaliers' lead had shrunk to just 6 points.

In an instant, the fans at Quicken Loans Arena couldn't smile anymore. Many held their heads in their hands, as if unable to believe the reality!

And sitting on the bench, Su Yi muttered quietly, "So this is the strength of the 'Spurs Hunter' Tim?"

In the third quarter, while the team was being chased down relentlessly, LeBron James went invisible again—2-for-6 from the field, just 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers.

Su Yi: ￣□￣｜｜

Still gotta rely on this CBA-level teammate!

Su Yi's eyes locked onto Coach Mike Brown, his face screaming "I want to play."

Coach Mike Brown felt the same way. With a wave of his hand, Su Yi was back on the court.

When the fans at Quicken Loans Arena saw Su Yi step onto the floor, they all shouted, "Su!" "Su!" "Su!"...

Su Yi was like a miracle cure!

In an instant, the atmosphere on the court shifted. Even his teammates, who had been wilting, perked right back up.

"Su, let's go all out!"

Damon Jones couldn't contain his excitement as he watched Su Yi come on.

Think about it—when he played the last three minutes of the third quarter, how uncomfortable it was. As a point guard, without the ball in his hands, what the hell was he supposed to do?

Hell, sometimes he didn't even get the ball until there were just a few seconds left on the shot clock.

Fuck!

Su Yi was way better \(^o^)/~

"Alright, Damon!"

Su Yi extended his left hand, clenched into a fist.

Damon Jones immediately caught on and extended his right hand, also clenched.

The two bumped fists and exchanged a knowing smile.

"BEEP! BEEP!"

With the sound of the game whistle, the fourth quarter officially began.

The San Antonio Spurs inbounded from the backcourt. The ball went to Tony Parker, who quickly dribbled it past half-court.

Once past half court, Damon Jones lunged forward, trying to put defensive pressure on Tony Parker.

Seeing this, Tony Parker flicked his wrist and quickly moved the ball out.

The ball went to Manu Ginobili on the wing.

The moment Manu Ginobili caught the ball, Su Yi pounced on him, slamming his body into him.

Manu Ginobili didn't think much of it—how strong could a rookie's physicality be?

The next second, Manu Ginobili regretted it.

Bang.

Facing Su Yi's 101 kg frame, Manu Ginobili, weighing only 93 kg, was sent flying!

And the referee didn't call anything—in his view, Manu Ginobili was faking it.

How could a veteran who'd played four seasons in the NBA get knocked over by a rookie?

Too fake!

Manu Ginobili: Fake your M*******

Su Yi immediately stole the ball from the fallen Manu Ginobili.

Gimme that!

Su Yi yanked the ball out of Manu Ginobili's hands with force, then dribbled furiously toward the frontcourt.

The San Antonio Spurs hadn't expected Manu Ginobili to get stripped clean by a rookie, so no one could rotate back in time—they could only watch Su Yi's showtime!

Su Yi charged all the way to the basket, gathered the ball, leaped with both feet, and soared high!

In midair, his left hand gripping the ball slammed it viciously into the rim.

BOOM!

With a thunderous crash.

Su Yi stole the ball, went coast-to-coast, and threw down a one-handed tomahawk dunk.

The score became 78 to 70.

The lead stretched to 8 points.

"ROOOOOAR!"

In an instant, the entire Quicken Loans Arena erupted, and then the whole crowd chanted wildly: "Su!" "Su!" "Su!"...

It had taken Su Yi less than two games to win over the hearts of the Quicken Loans Arena fans.

Su Yi: Who else?

After scoring, Su Yi quickly turned and ran back on defense.

During the retreat, Damon Jones sprinted over and high-fived Su Yi in celebration.

"Su, that defense was amazing! I can't believe you stripped Manu!"

Damon Jones couldn't help praising him.

"He got careless—probably won't be that easy to steal next time."

In Su Yi's view, that play was Manu Ginobili letting his guard down.

But it gave Su Yi an idea out of nowhere.

So this rookie aura was pretty useful after all—he'd make good use of it from now on.

The San Antonio Spurs inbounded again, the ball going to Tony Parker, who quickly dribbled past half court.

Once past half court, Francisco Elson came out from the post to set a screen for Tony Parker.

Using the screen, Tony Parker shook off his defender and drove into the Cleveland Cavaliers' paint.

The drive naturally drew the Cavaliers to collapse inside.

Even Donyell Marshall on the wing sagged back.

Tony Parker's eyes were sharp; he spotted it instantly, flicked his wrist, and the ball flew straight to the unguarded Robert Horry in the corner.

Catching the ball, Robert Horry adjusted slightly, then jumped, hung in the air, and released a three-pointer.

The ball arced through the air.

Clang!

It missed.

That let the Quicken Loans Arena fans breathe a sigh of relief.

If that three had gone in, the Cavaliers' lead would have shrunk even further.

Anderson Varejao leaped high and snatched the rebound.

Landing on both feet, Anderson Varejao quickly passed the ball to Damon Jones.

Damon Jones pushed the pace, while Su Yi had already sprinted past half court.

In the blink of an eye, Damon Jones crossed half court, advancing while keeping an eye on Su Yi's position.

Su Yi ran to the corner, made a sudden stop, then quickly moved back out along the three-point line.

Damon Jones took a glance and thought he saw an opportunity!

With a flick of his wrist, the ball sailed toward Su Yi.

Su Yi caught it cleanly.

The moment Su Yi caught the ball, Manu Ginobili was already on him.

But Su Yi acted as if he hadn't seen Manu Ginobili at all.

Without a hint of hesitation, he rose quickly, hung in the air, kicked his legs, and released a high-arc three-point shot!

This was a high-arc three-pointer Su Yi had specifically developed for shooting over defenders' faces.

The ball sailed over Manu Ginobili's head and flew toward the basket.

Swish. The ball nestled cleanly into the net.

Three points.

The score became 81 to 70!

The moment Su Yi stepped onto the court, he scored 5 straight points, instantly widening the gap to 11.

"Time out!"

He directly forced the San Antonio Spurs to call a timeout.

Manu Ginobili stood with his hands on his hips, looking somewhat helplessly at Su Yi, who was surrounded by his teammates.

Damn it, is this a rookie?
