Chapter 807: Chapter 274: Su Wan’s Luck—Always Blessed with Powerful Teammates
This "scoring wave" is also the first occurrence tonight.
The crowd hears Spoelstra call for a timeout, and naturally, it’s met with cheers from all around.
Every New York fan is too excited to stay seated. They stand up and move their bodies to the music.
It’s time for New Yorkers to pop the champagne ahead of time!
Spoelstra turns his gaze to LeBron: "Buddy, you’ll need to strengthen your personal offense from now on!"
Wade clearly needs a breather, and this is something the Filipino understands well.
Meanwhile, Chris Bosh struggles to make an impact under constrained space. Asking him to battle against a bunch of "muscle men" inside is no different from Larry Brown sending Milicic to be the "five position meat shield."
That’s not his area of expertise.
LeBron grits his teeth and nods slightly. He doesn’t speak, but his eyes are full of determination.
The premature celebratory cheers keep flooding his ears, making them unbearably piercing; and those fans holding posters of him kneeling make him immeasurably angry.
He wants to destroy this place, make these people unable to laugh, cheer, or sway!
He believes he can do it...
Just like Game 7 in the first round of the series against the Celtics.
As long as he advances with a resolute mindset towards the inside, he can definitely do it.
Hmm...
He definitely can!
At this moment, LeBron’s mind is already flooded with images of him making one breakthrough layup after another against Kevin Garnett in previous "Game 7."
A fierce-looking Kevin Garnett directly transformed into a submissive kitty in front of his relentless attacks on the hoop. He can even "bully" Kevin Garnett.
If he can do such a thing to Kevin Garnett, then he can do the same to Tyson Chandler!
In fact, it’s not only LeBron who recalls his heroic appearance in the "Game 7" battle, Spoelstra also remembers LeBron’s resolute breakthrough at that moment.
The only difference...
LeBron treats this as his ace in the hole with the Heat Team.
While Spoelstra sees it as a "last resort..."
No choice, Dwyane Wade needs rest now, and Chris Bosh can’t step up due to various reasons. Or rather...
If Wade and Chris Bosh were on the court together, with Wade’s distractions, he might still perform well.
But now, partnering with him is LeBron.
Chris Bosh’s slump this season is precisely because he had to give up space for LeBron, taking on all sorts of tasks he’s not good at. How can he show good performance?
There’s only one way left.
So...
LeBron, it’s up to you!
Let’s create another miracle!
"Beeeeep!"
Spoelstra’s inner shout rings simultaneously with the buzzer symbolizing the game’s restart.
It’s the Heat Team’s offensive possession.
This time, LeBron holds the ball without hesitation.
He recalls how he played in the "Game 7," finally coming to a conclusion:
Don’t overthink it, just do it!
So facing Su Wan, LeBron takes a step back, then inhales deeply and charges forward, flooring the throttle. His mouth puffs up like a frog due to the exertion.
"Bang!"
He crashes into Su Wan.
His big elbow exerts force, and he clearly hears Su Wan’s muffled grunt, making him snicker inwardly.
But to his surprise, despite facing his iron elbow, Su Wan clenched his teeth and refused to give way.
LeBron panics a bit.
This guy is ridiculously tough!
He didn’t expect Su Wan to be this rigid.
Given this...
LeBron’s eyes flicker with madness as he continues driving hard to the basket. As he’s about to reach the hoop, LeBron elbows again.
But this time, he’s aiming not at Su Wan’s chest, but his neck and face.
Die!
LeBron roars inwardly.
This moment, he’s engulfed in darkness.
He doesn’t care what happens when the elbow goes down, what Su Wan turns into even if facing life-threatening danger... thinking about the humiliation this guy brought him over the years, and his infamous name for years because of him, LeBron’s heart is full of resentment!
One more thing...
Aren’t you tough?
Let’s see how tough you really are!
But right when he raises his arm for a full-force elbow, Su Wan withdraws a bit, narrowly avoiding LeBron’s iron elbow. Yet he sees the fervor on LeBron’s face clearly.
Another observer of this is...
Artest!
Sitting on the bench, his fists clench.
LeBron didn’t expect Su Wan to dodge at this moment. As he shifts focus back to the basket, he realizes Tyson Chandler has unknowingly already stood in front of him, waiting.
"Bang!"
"Beeeeep!"
Even though his brain senses it and tries to dodge, his charging speed and stiff body render him incapable of making any evasive moves. He crashes straight into Tyson.
Though instinctively, he elbows Tyson Chandler.
The referee whistles, LeBron James is called for "offensive foul."
Yet Tyson Chandler, taking an elbow to the abdomen, lies on the ground for quite a while before catching his breath.
Ouch!
LeBron feigns concern and approaches, only to retreat from Su Wan’s cold gaze:
