Dad, can you bring me to the next game too?

A short break ended, the second quarter began, and both sides swapped in their substitutes.

Cleveland naturally kept Su Yi and Damon Jones leading three bench players onto the floor.

(Eric Snow: Coach, what about me?)

(Mike Brown: (╯‵□′)╯)

When Su Yi and Damon Jones saw LeBron James wasn't out there, the grins on their faces were harder to suppress than an AK.

Once on the court, one handled scoring, the other handled assists.

Under the duo's leadership, Cleveland rattled off a 12-6 run in just over three minutes, stretching the lead to six points.

Su Yi went 4-for-4 from three, stunning the crowd!

"Double-team him!"

Minnesota's head coach shot up from his chair and strode to the sideline, shouting.

Immediately, Minnesota threw a double-team at Su Yi.

"Damon!"

Su Yi called out to Damon Jones.

Damon Jones caught on instantly and directed the other players to start moving.

With Su Yi drawing the defense, their offense was essentially 4-on-3.

After one or two passes, open shots appeared.

His teammates knocked them down one after another, barely breaking a sweat.

Damon Jones's assist count shot up, and the team's score climbed right along with it.

In just half a quarter, Cleveland scored 22 points.

Offensive efficiency maxed out!

The fluid, seamless attack sent the Quick Loan Center Arena crowd into a frenzy as they wildly chanted Su Yi and Damon Jones's names.

Some fans even found themselves thinking: Why is the bench offense fiercer than the starters? Don't the starters have the Chosen One, LeBron James?

Others dug deeper: Why didn't Su Yi and Damon Jones play this smoothly in the first quarter? Were they being held back by the starters?

To be honest, Cleveland fans weren't stupid.

It was like crying wolf—say it too many times, and nobody believes you.

People tend to trust what their own eyes see.

And what they saw clearly was that under Su Yi and Damon Jones, Cleveland was far more efficient.

"Timeout!"

Minnesota called for a timeout.

When Su Yi and Damon Jones returned to the bench, Mike Brown immediately hugged them and said, "Su, Damon, beautiful work!"

To be honest, Mike Brown was just a defensive coach—offense wasn't his strong suit.

When the offense struggled last season, his only option was to put the ball in LeBron James's hands.

But this season was different—he had more choices!

After the timeout, both sides made personnel adjustments.

Cleveland swapped out all the bench players except Su Yi, bringing the starters back in.

Mike Brown wanted to see how Su Yi would work alongside the starters again.

When Eric Snow saw he'd be playing with Su Yi, he was thrilled.

He'd been sitting on the bench watching Damon Jones's assist count soar, and he was honestly jealous.

But once he hit the court, Eric Snow realized it wasn't the same.

Su Yi wasn't running all over the place like he had with the bench; instead, he camped out in the corner.

And Snow? He was back to being a point guard without the ball.

Fuck!

Suddenly, Cleveland's fluid offense ground to a halt, and the fans in the stands felt the pain.

The crowd couldn't help but ask: Why?

Truth be told, plenty of fans already had the answer in their heads.

As Cleveland's starters returned, the game settled back into the same stalemate as the first quarter.

Back and forth, you score one, I score one—neither side giving an inch.

"Bzzzz."

Halftime.

58 to 48.

The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the second half with a 10-point lead.

Mike Brown watched the starkly different second quarter and couldn't help but sink into thought. He finally understood why Su Yi didn't want to start.

There was no denying that LeBron James was a talented player.

But his style of play was pure ball dominance.

This severely impacted Su Yi's performance.

For now, Mike Brown had no solution, since LeBron James's status here outweighed Mike Brown's!

However, Mike Brown could stagger their minutes to minimize LeBron James's interference with Su Yi's play.

Su Yi was essentially their nuclear weapon!

For this season, Mike Brown was full of hope.

Halftime ended, and after the break, the teams returned.

The Minnesota Timberwolves inexplicably went cold again, every single player clanking shots.

Yet despite this, the Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't extend the lead much.

The reason? Our GM LeBron was driving inside and shooting outside—clang, clang, clang! Relentlessly clanking!

The rim was nearly bent out of shape.

Sitting on the bench, Su Yi couldn't help but smile. Was he trying to beat his previous life's record for most bricks?

With just over three minutes left in the third quarter, Mike Brown waved his hand, subbing out LeBron James and Eric Snow, bringing in Su Yi and Damon Jones.

Instantly, Big Z and Drew Gooden seemed to come alive.

With Su Yi drawing defenders, Damon Jones, Big Z, and Drew Gooden got plenty of open looks.

The two of them scored the rest of the third quarter's points.

In one go, they stretched the lead to 15 points.

81 to 66.

The Cleveland Cavaliers led by 15 heading into the fourth quarter.

When LeBron James saw his stats weren't that impressive—

After three quarters, he had only 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block—

He immediately requested to play, and Mike Brown had no choice but to agree.

So the fourth quarter turned into LeBron James's swish-swish session.

Seeing this, Su Yi asked to sit out halfway through the quarter.

"BEEP, BEEP."

As the final whistle sounded, the game ended.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 102 to 94, winning by 8 points.

Their overall record improved to 8 wins and 1 loss, firmly holding the top spot in the East.

Efficiency king Su Yi played only 26 minutes in this game but still dropped 23 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist, helping the team secure the victory.

After winning, Su Yi turned and headed toward the player tunnel.

"Su! Can I get your autograph!"

"Su, I love you so much!"

"Su..."

Just as Su Yi was walking toward the tunnel, a group of children's voices reached his ears.

Su Yi stopped in his tracks, looked up at the stands at those sincere little faces, and said, "Of course, my little fans!"

Then, one by one, Su Yi signed his name for them.

"88!"

After finishing, Su Yi greeted the young fans before heading back into the arena tunnel.

One little fan tugged at his father's hand and said, "Dad, will you bring me to watch the next game too, okay?"

"Of course, Tyrus!"

Hearing his father's reply, the little fan's face lit up with an excited smile. "Dad, I love you!"

With that, the little fan asked his father to squat down and kissed him on the cheek.

The little fan's father burst into laughter at the gesture, his mouth wide open.

"Hahahaha!"

The little fan laughed too, a sound like silver bells.

Then the little fan's father picked him up and headed toward the exit.
