Unhappy Su Yi

Huff, huff, huff!

The next morning, Su Yi got up early for his morning training.

After more than four hours of training, his Speed and Explosiveness each increased by one point.

Speed: 77 → 78.

Explosiveness: 75 → 76.

Seeing this, the grin on Su Yi's face was harder to suppress than an AK-47. With a golden finger, no sweat was ever wasted.

On the other hand, without a golden finger, sweat didn't always pay off.

Success = 1% talent + 99% effort.

But for Su Yi, success = 1% time + 99% effort.

Give him just one or two seasons, and he could raise every attribute to 100!

By then, even Jesus wouldn't be able to stop him. He was going to dominate this league!

"Yi, stop training. You have a game tonight."

Xu Rui couldn't help but remind him.

Su Yi had a back-to-back game that evening.

It was also Su Yi's first time participating in a back-to-back game.

"Got it. I won't train this afternoon."

In the afternoon, Su Yi quietly watched a game from the Washington Wizards—the opponent for tonight's back-to-back.

After watching the Wizards' last three games, Su Yi felt the team had a good chance of winning.

After all, the Washington Wizards were on a three-game losing streak.

But what Su Yi never expected was that Gilbert Arenas would have an explosive performance that night.

After three quarters, Gilbert Arenas had shot 10-for-18 from the field, 5-for-9 from three, and 10-for-12 from the free-throw line, exploding for 35 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal.

He led the Washington Wizards to blow out the Cleveland Cavaliers in just three quarters.

With a score of 93 to 74, they led the Cleveland Cavaliers by a full 19 points.

Just as the Wizards' players and fans thought the game was already in the bag.

But when the fourth quarter arrived, Su Yi turned into a shooting machine, constantly moving off the ball, shaking off defenders, and sprinting to the perimeter.

Damon Jones immediately passed the ball into Su Yi's hands.

Catching the ball, Su Yi didn't hesitate for a moment. He quickly jumped, hung in the air, kicked his legs, and released a three-pointer.

The ball traced a graceful arc through the air, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, flying straight toward the basket.

Swish.

The ball settled firmly into the basket's embrace.

Three-pointer, good.

Then, one after another, Su Yi's three-pointers pierced the net like arrows through clouds.

In just three minutes, he went 4-for-5 from three, leading the team on a 14-4 run, cutting the deficit to single digits in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the Quick Loan Center Arena erupted.

The entire crowd roared wildly: "Su!" "Su!" "Su!"...

"Timeout!"

They forced the Washington Wizards to call a timeout, and even brought the Wizards' starters back onto the court.

Gilbert Arenas couldn't help but take a second look at this rookie, Su Yi.

"Coach, I want to go in."

At this moment, LeBron James wanted to steal the spotlight and immediately requested to enter the game.

Mike Brown didn't refuse.

But as soon as he stepped on the court, his consecutive layups were all disrupted by the opposing center.

The Washington Wizards seized the opportunity and quickly stretched the lead back to double digits.

Su Yi: ￣□￣｜｜

You bastard!

Su Yi looked at Mike Brown and made a gesture: I want to come out.

Mike Brown was also speechless. You mess up a perfectly good comeback by playing like that?

After Su Yi was subbed out, the rhythm of the game immediately returned to the Washington Wizards.

In the end, led by Gilbert Arenas, the Washington Wizards defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 116 to 99, winning by 17 points and ending their three-game losing streak.

As soon as the game ended, Su Yi headed straight for the player tunnel.

After just two steps, Gilbert Arenas came up to him and said, "Rookie, you played great, I really rate you. When your rookie contract's up, consider coming to the Wizards!"

Gilbert Arenas had watched the Cleveland Cavaliers' game footage before the match. The reason the Cleveland Cavaliers had become so strong this year was precisely because of Su Yi's arrival as a rookie.

The moment he stepped on the court, he could score—provided, of course, the ball reached his hands.

In Gilbert Arenas's view, Su Yi was being wasted on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers had an "internet celebrity"!

The media reporters kept hyping him up every day, saying how amazing and unstoppable he was, but Gilbert Arenas thought he was nothing more than a paper tiger.

He had some skill, sure, but he was nowhere near the level the media reporters were claiming. Not even close.

In Gilbert Arenas's eyes, LeBron James wasn't even as good as him.

(LeBron James: Guards! Guards!)

(LeBron Stan: Gilbert *******)

"Thanks, Gilbert. You played brilliantly tonight. We were no match for you."

Tonight, Gilbert Arenas had truly exploded, dropping a monstrous 48 points.

"Haha, I should thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have scored 48."

The two shared a friendly hug and exchanged a few more words before Su Yi continued walking toward the player tunnel.

But when he reached the entrance of the tunnel, Su Yi couldn't help stopping to look at the young fans in the stands.

This time, without the young fans even calling out, Su Yi took the initiative to sign autographs for them.

The young fans were all ecstatic.

"Su, I like you so much!"

"Su, I want to be a shooter just like you when I grow up!"

"Su, you're so handsome!"

"Su..."

The young fans shouted at Su Yi one after another, expressing their admiration for him.

"Thank you. You guys are great too."

Su Yi hadn't expected to have a group of young fans. They had come to watch him for two consecutive back-to-back games—they were real fans for sure.

You had to cultivate fans from a young age, haha!

Thinking this, Su Yi's disappointment from the loss vanished in an instant.

After signing autographs for the young fans, he even took a group photo with them before leaving and heading into the player tunnel.

Two days later, the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered their third loss of the season.

In this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Memphis Grizzlies at home.

The Memphis Grizzlies had everyone contributing, with six players scoring in double digits.

As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, not only did they have to face the Memphis Grizzlies' full-team effort, but they also had to carry a dead weight—LeBron James.

In this game, LeBron James shot 7-for-22 from the field, 0-for-5 from three, and 3-for-5 from the free-throw line, finishing with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 5 turnovers.

Even though Su Yi shot 9-for-14 from the field and 5-for-8 from three, scoring a team-high 23 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal, he still couldn't save the team.

In the end, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 94-97, falling by 3 points.

They suffered a two-game losing streak, bringing their overall record to 8 wins and 3 losses.

"Damn it!"

After the game ended, Su Yi, looking furious, kicked a chair on the bench flying.

Su Yi, who was always easygoing, suddenly pulling a stunt like this startled the entire Cleveland Cavaliers roster.

Even Mike Brown hadn't expected Su Yi to do something like that.

Before they could react, Su Yi was already walking toward the player tunnel.

But when he reached the tunnel and saw that group of young fans, he still stopped, forced a smile, and signed autographs for them. Only after finishing did he turn and walk into the tunnel.
