Chapter 371 I've also been holding back, the great battle has begun!
"The Lakers are having bad luck!"
Magic Johnson shook his head. "The Knicks are the team that always has surprise players and players who always have breakout performances."
just now.
Everything is going in the Knicks' favor.
"Yes."
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar echoed, "The Lakers have a championship pedigree and the ability to win back-to-back championships."
Unfortunately... they seemed to lack a bit of luck.
Even if the Lakers don't have the breakout performances of Tracy and Allen, the Knicks will still lose.
If a Lakers player has a breakout performance, they will easily defeat the Knicks and win the championship.
Who would have thought... that it would always be the Knicks who had the breakout, and it was the former "two big four shooting guards" who had the breakout.
What bad luck!
"Luck certainly plays a part."
Jerry West, the "LOGO guy," didn't deny it, but then added, "But it's definitely not just luck."
If nothing unexpected happens.
Su Yan will score at least 50+ points again tonight, which means... he's averaging 50+ points per game in the Finals.
He also scored 60+ points in three consecutive games.
This is even more insane than Michael Jordan's 40+ points per game in the Finals back in the day—several levels above!
The Lakers are currently at a disadvantage.
I don't want to say the Lakers will definitely lose, but if the Lakers lose, the Knicks' Finals MVP will definitely be Su Yan.
There is no doubt about it.
But I also want to say... if the Lakers win Game 6, and then win Game 7, they'll pull off a comeback and win the championship!!!
I also hope to award the Finals MVP trophy to Su Yan, so he can at least share the Finals MVP with one of the Lakers players.
"You can have this."
Magic Johnson nodded in agreement.
"If that's the outcome, I'll agree."
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also agreed, saying, "Su Yan delivered a phenomenal performance in the Finals, a game that will go down in history."
Regardless of victory or defeat, he deserves the Finals MVP trophy.
……
In the front row of the audience.
Daddario can handle the ball, but he doesn't know much about football. However, he can feel the extremely enthusiastic cheers from Su Yan in the stadium!
She knew it.
How amazing is Su Yan? How popular, accomplished, and influential is he in the NBA?
D'Addario smiled wryly, "Just how lucky am I to have found such a desirable and exceptional 'sugar daddy' despite societal norms?!"
"Go for it! Tonight, you'll win the championship trophy you deserve after a whole season of hard work!"
Cheerleaders' rest area.
Rebecca clenched her fists, silently cheering for Su Yan.
……
Intermission.
Iverson's outburst boosted the team's confidence, but... not a single player celebrated the victory or the championship prematurely.
after all……
Iverson's outbursts are somewhat accidental; he may not be able to maintain that level of performance for an entire game.
So, maintain as much of a lead as possible before the game ends, before Iverson's outburst ends.
The chances of winning would be much greater.
Of course... only Su Yan knew that as long as his physical strength didn't run out, Iverson would maintain his "peak" level until the end of tonight's game.
As long as nothing too serious goes wrong.
We will win tonight.
The two "Closed Candies" were used in the crucial Games 5 and 6 of the Finals to help the team win.
It's like a timely rain, or like a cheat code, it's so powerful.
The value and worth of sealed candies are constantly increasing.
Lakers locker room.
Led by Artest and Fisher, everyone was overwhelmed, restless, and furious.
why!
Why does Lady Luck always seem to be on the Knicks' side?
People can't understand it.
Even the usually composed Kobe couldn't stay calm.
Please, that's Allen Iverson at his peak. As his longtime rival, he knows Iverson all too well.
They knew how tough Allen Iverson was.
The combined fighting power of "Flame God", "Peak Answer" and "Growing Cute God"
There's no way to win.
Coupled with the away game and the immense pressure of a match point, the entire Lakers team was thrown into a panic.
The more they do this, the less likely they are to win.
"Damn it!"
Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master," also looked terribly grim; he too was filled with fear.
But he dared not show it, he could not show it.
He had to be calmer than all the players, and then... constantly encourage them and get them going.
There is no way back.
We must win tonight.
To cut off the enemy's supply lines, to fight a desperate battle, one must fight with all one's might until the last bullet is used up.
The results of it? !
No.
That won't work at all.
With a little assistance, Su Yan's overwhelming combat power was terrifying.
The Lakers are unstoppable.
Even though the defensive actions of players like Artest and Bynum were close to defensive level.
No.
Some of the elbow strikes and pulls were so obvious that the referee had already blown the whistle.
Su Yan's counterattack was even stronger, relying on the severity of his fouls to deliver a fierce blow.
Artest, Bynum, and others suffered double the pain.
Thankless.
The point difference is widening little by little, and the pace seems to be accelerating.
The situation is getting worse for the Lakers, putting even more pressure on them.
So what if they're the defending champions?!
So what if they have a strong foundation?!
Even when facing the life-or-death situation of losing the championship, one will still feel panic and anxiety!
But the more anxious you are, the more passive you will become, and the faster you will head towards death.
The three-quarter battle ended.
The Knicks are already leading by 20 points. If this were a normal regular season game, seeing the Knicks playing so aggressively would be quite surprising.
Perhaps they've already given up in the final quarter.
The money has already been spent on the game.
But this is Game 6 of the Finals, a crucial game where losing means losing the championship, so we can't afford to give up on anything.
Double the pain + huge score difference.
This gradually warped the mentality of players like Artest and Bynum, pushing them to the brink of collapse and outburst.
Unless it can be recovered in the last session.
Otherwise... their championship dreams would be shattered by a rookie team, especially under such humiliating circumstances.
They can't accept even a little bit; who knows what crazy things they might do!!!
Can the situation be changed?!
It seems so.
The substitutes rotated in the final quarter.
Wilson Chandler's bench was no match for the Lakers' bench mob, and the 20-point deficit was narrowed to 16 points.
There is a play!
"Beep!"
Coach D'Antoni called a timeout.
With both teams' starting lineups back, the final showdown arrived early.
"Shh!"
Iverson's first offensive move was to drive to the basket, charging into the crowd, his small frame concealing immense energy.
Folding rod made.
Immediately afterwards... with Su Yan and Iverson drawing both of their defense, Curry hit a three-pointer from the left corner.
Knife up and down.
Cold-blooded hit.
In the midst of the transition, Su Yan made a crucial defensive play, pulling off a chase-down block, grabbing the basketball from behind Artest's head.
"what?!"
Artest, who thought he had it all figured out, was thrown into a state of shock as his eyeballs popped out.
The Knicks' counterattack.
[Swiftness lv1].
After Su Yan accelerated to full speed, he shook off Artest, who was relentlessly pursuing him and even trying to forcefully stop him.
One step inside the free throw line.
"boom!"
A gliding dunk!
The Knicks' starting lineup came out and immediately had an impact, responding to the Lakers with a sudden 7-0 run, widening the gap to 23 points.
"Damn it!"
Artest cursed.
But it was meaningless; the point difference remained so large, even after another 4 minutes had passed, with only 5 minutes left.
"Shh!"
Su Yan shoved Fisher aside, rushed into the paint, and easily scored a layup against Pau Gasol, who seemed to have lost his fighting spirit.
The Knicks still lead by a whopping 23 points.
The Lakers have already lost!
"Gone!"
Artest stared blankly, muttering to himself, "We lost the game, the championship is gone, so it doesn't matter anymore!!!"
