Su Wan glanced at LeBron on his way back on defense.
Pregnant with aning:
"You’re trying to steal my thunder in Indiana, huh?"
Actually...
There’s no problem at all!
Given their relationship, if this year’s All-Star Ga were in Cleveland, Su Wan would’ve considered disrupting the event himself.
However, similarly, if he had been the disruptor, LeBron Jas would have been upset too.
The only difference might be...
LeBron would be purely upset.
Not only would Su Wan be upset, he’d take action and strike back!
So people, you just have to hit them hard and not let them find an inch of leeway.
Like those shrewd folks who have later figured out to "avoid the peak" and always attack the opponent’s weakest point in a ga, if you give them a chance, they won’t stop for anything.
After that round, LeBron beca a bit more prudent.
He’s not a fool, he knew Su Wan was deliberately ssing with him.
But his restless heart wasn’t going to be stilled by a simple show of force from Su Wan.
He was still looking for an opportunity.
Seeing him more serious than in a regular season ga, Su Wan simply kept the ball in his hands.
Then...
He called for a pick and roll.
Passing the ball to him when he was facing Kobe.
The mont LeBron got the ball, he was elated, but at the sight of a determined Kobe standing in front of him, he chickened out.
LeBron’s basketball philosophy was:
Attack the opponent’s weakest spot. As for the toughest nut to crack...
Let whoever wants to chew on it do so, he sure wouldn’t!
Undoubtedly, Kobe was a tough nut, so...
He passed the ball away again.
Kobe was baffled:
Dude, it’s just the All-Star Weekend, are you too scared to play?
The crowd booed once more.
The ball found its way back to Su Wan’s hands.
Su Wan raised his hand to shoot, Chris Paul grazed his knee, then watched as Su Wan nailed the shot.
After that round, LeBron cald down quite a bit more.
But in less than three minutes, he felt like he was up for it again!
Su Wan could only continue with his version of "bomb disposal training," dribbling until the last two seconds before tossing the ball to LeBron’s hands.
This ti LeBron had already been outsmarted before, seeing Su Wan’s delayed attack, he knew a big hit was coming and even made a special effort to reposition himself. But Su Wan’s eyes were so sharp, locking onto him solidly.
No escape!
With only two seconds left, LeBron caught the ball, unable to even think of throwing it away.
He’d either brick the shot or make a turnover, and eventually chose not to shoot amid the boos, making his stance clear:
Damn it, always making take the ball in the last few seconds, how can I shoot!
But what greeted him were even louder boos.
Barkley also noticed Su Wan seemingly targeting LeBron on purpose, well, not just him, actually, most people could see it was deliberate.
At the end of the first quarter, as a courtside reporter interviewed Su Wan: "We noticed you’re always finding LeBron in the last few seconds of the offense to take the shot, and we’re curious to know why."
"There’s not much to it..." Su Wan had his excuse ready, "The dia still compares him to , and as a forr teammate, I’m quite aware of LeBron’s weaknesses. Now having this opportunity to share the stage, I think it’s necessary to give LeBron’s shooting so extra coaching."
"You know, when I was still with the Cavaliers, I was always coaching him!"
"And also..."
"LeBron should experience what his teammates go through shooting under these kinds of conditions!"
Being open and taking a shot is indeed easy!
But when it’s down to the last second of 24, shooting is not that simple!
When LeBron heard these words, he burst into laughter.
Speechless, without a fxxk to give, screw it!
He had never seen such a brazen person.
Powerless, LeBron could only resort to the "Big Coach Skill"...
With 4:34 left in the second quarter, Mike Brown, following LeBron’s direction, prepared to sub Su Wan out for a rest, Su Wan glanced at him.
Nodded his head, and walked towards the bench.
High-fiving the player coming in to replace him.
Seeing Su Wan being subbed out, the crowd instantly started cursing at Mike Brown.
As Su Wan passed Brown, he stopped, his aura towering at 2.8 ters, overwhelming Brown in a shadow. Su Wan said, "Mike, good luck..."
The boos in the arena grew even fiercer.
Su Wan sat on the bench for just a minute before the restlessness at courtside beca unbearable.
Especially after Su Wan was subbed out, with LeBron Jas now the main ball-handler on the court, the Indiana Natives were ready to curse out every ancestor Mike Brown had.
It had barely been how long into the second quarter?
And you’re in such a hurry to get Su Wan out, just to give LeBron the spotlight, right?
This is Indiana, not Cleveland!
"F*ck you, Mike Brown, do you really think you’re the All-Star head coach?"
"If you don’t sub Su Wan back in, just wait to get trounced!"
"Have you not heard of the Conseco incident?"
The fans behind him were already issuing verbal threats.
This made Mike Brown feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, like there were thorns at his back, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he eagerly looked towards Su Wan.
But Su Wan showed no sign of getting up, just sitting there with a calm deanor, seemingly oblivious to the turmoil Mike Brown was going through.
