I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 433

Over at the commentary box, the two commentators also laughed and joked.

"This is Stephenson, the Knicks' rookie this year. We can see that he is still a very interesting player."

"Yes, it has its own program effect, hahaha."

"Prosser here temporarily uses this newcomer, and we can also see what he can do."

"I feel like Prosser might have had other ideas when it came to this new guy at a critical moment."

"Let's take a look first."

On the court, Stephenson was just getting ready to play when Prosser couldn't help but want to tell him something important.

When Su Ye saw that Prosser was about to put pressure on Stephenson, he quickly stopped the coach.

He knows better than anyone that Stephenson has too much burden on him and this guy's CPU will burn out sooner or later.

"Coach, I'll just make the arrangements. You go and keep an eye on them."

Su Ye pulled Stephenson aside, and Prosser didn't bother.

When there was no one around, Su Ye also spoke seriously to Stephenson.

"I don't ask anything from you, I don't need you to do anything."

"But remember, this is an opportunity to express yourself."

"Let's go, come on stage with me and let them know that the person I, Su Ye, choose is no worse than anyone else."

Stephenson originally knew that it was Su Ye who named him and that he had a chance to play.

Once he heard that he had a chance to perform, the team boss still trusted him so much.

Stephenson's desire to perform could not be hidden.

But he turned around and calmed down.

He follows Su Ye on the stage. If he is embarrassed, he is embarrassing Su Ye.

All the naughty thoughts in Stephenson's mind were swept away, and all that was left was to play every round seriously.

Su Ye didn't know what Stephenson was thinking.

But when I saw that he wasn't laughing and joking, his eyes gradually became serious, and I knew that it was done.

On the other side, the Bulls bench.

When everyone saw Su Ye leading Stephenson to the court, they all showed disdain.

They have already observed the previous three quarters of the game.

Stephenson is definitely not at the NBA level.

It can be said that he is a high school player with good talent and good foundation.

On the court, I always wanted to follow the habits I had in high school and rely on my talent to play.

But this is the NBA, and talent in the eyes of ordinary people is nothing here.

"Are Knicks crazy? These people use it too."

"Who told them not to keep Ray Allen and Hayes? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so short of players."

"No matter, keep an eye on Su Ye, I always feel that this guy wants to show off."

After some discussion, the Bulls returned to the arena.

As soon as Stephenson came on the court, the entire team was instantly different.

Except for Deron, who is a short point guard, the rest are all over two meters tall.

This matches the Bulls' lineup, and he no longer suffers from height.

As soon as they came on the court, the Knicks immediately performed.

Stephenson took the initiative to defend Rose, relieving the pressure on Deron and Su Ye, allowing the two to better target the offense.

Ross looked at the young man in front of him and didn't have much idea at first.

He wanted to rely on his own speed to easily pass Stephenson as if he were passing an ordinary person.

But as soon as the front foot picked up speed, Stephenson clumsily followed up with the back foot.

Although the defense seemed a bit amateurish, it did block Rose's offensive route.

Ross was slightly surprised when he saw it.

This kid is quite fast!

Rose calmly dribbled behind his back and changed hands, noticing Stephenson's eyes looking behind him.

This is an excellent breakthrough opportunity for a star player.

Sure enough, Stephenson's slightly tilted head made it impossible for him to tell the direction of Rose's movement.

Rose got rid of Stephenson in one step and drove directly to the basket, trying to finish.

Just after passing Stephenson, you can immediately see what the scenery inside is like.

A figure blocked in front of Ross.

The corners of Su Ye's mouth raised slightly.

"Switch defense!"

Hearing the shout, Stephenson strode towards Luol Deng in the bottom corner, completing the defense switch with Su Ye.

And just now Stephenson blocked Rose's explosion for the first time, perfectly delaying Su Ye enough time to move.

As soon as Ross saw that he was facing Su Ye, he immediately gave up the attack.

Even Kobe doesn't like to challenge Su Ye's defense, let alone Rose.

Challenging Su Ye alone is definitely the most unreasonable offensive choice.

Rose turned around and ran behind him, no longer obsessed with confronting Su Ye.

This wave of blocks directly compressed the Bulls' offensive time to the extreme.

With only three seconds left, Korver ran and found a two-point opportunity, helping the Bulls take the lead in expanding the score to a three-point difference.

No one in the commentary booth expected that the Knicks would change so much.

"The effect of Stephenson's appearance is very obvious, suppressing the Bulls' offense."

"This is not a good thing for the Bulls."

"Indeed, I didn't expect that this strange move would actually work."

"We really can't underestimate the player Stephenson. Although he is only a rookie, he is very compatible with Su Ye."

"Yes, you can see that his skills are still relatively immature, but he does have some potential."

Even on the Bulls bench, Thibodeau didn't expect that this guy who almost couldn't even play in the NBA could block Rose.

But this is also normal.

In the high school league, the bodies of high school players have not yet grown, so coaches usually ask players to gain weight.

Entering the college league, the three-year college basketball career is the best time to hone skills and tactics.

For example, those players who intend to play in the NBA will start to try to increase their strength in advance and be able to adapt to the NBA faster.

Although Stephenson is a professional player in the college league, his body is still in the high school stage.

His slender figure and quick feet allow him to easily keep up with many defenders.

The only drawback is that at his current weight, he is unable to face players as heavy as Luol Deng.

But for the Knicks.

They don't lack people who can guard Rose. What they lack is someone who can withstand Rose's first wave of attacks and delay Su Ye for enough time.

Stephenson happens to be that candidate.

After the Bulls' first offense was ineffective, the Knicks began to make adjustments on the court.

No one expected that Thibodeau would rearrange new defensive tactics during the last timeout.

Before Deron had passed halftime, he had already seen Rose waiting for him on the edge of halftime.

A bold tactic popped up in my mind.

Man-to-man at halftime.

This is the best defensive tactic for the Knicks who like to stay in position and fight.

Moreover, the Bulls generally have strong defensive capabilities, so they can perfectly utilize this tactic.

Just after Deron protected the ball for half the game, Rose kept reaching out to try to steal, thus disrupting Deron's dribbling rhythm.

After several attempts, Deron, who was unable to adjust his body, could only send the ball out first.

He passed the ball directly into Stephenson's hands.

When Delong saw it, he quickly shouted to everyone.

"Tactics C!!!"

When everyone in the Knicks heard this, they all started running wildly.

Only Stephenson was stunned at the top of the arc.

What is C-tactic?

As a rookie, he still doesn't know much about the Knicks' various on-court "slang".

You're simply making things difficult for this guy by asking him to memorize so many complicated tactics.

Not to mention letting him follow the team's running tactics.

Korver, who was guarding Stephenson, was also dumbfounded.

Why don't you move?

Korver looked around and found that everyone in the Knicks was moving, except Stephenson who was motionless.

He began to worry about whether this was some special tactic from the Knicks.

Also dumbfounded was Deron.

Deron noticed that Stephenson was not moving, and he wanted to slap himself on the forehead.

He forgot that they hadn't taught Stephenson this new tactic yet.

He also quickly adjusted his running position, preparing to go to the wing to get the ball back first and reorganize a new offense.

And what is Stephenson thinking at this moment.

He watched his teammates running outside, trying to pull away, and mistakenly thought this was a one-on-one tactic.

He might have some trouble hitting others.

But Stephenson will definitely have no problem playing against someone like Korver who is not very defensive.

He dribbled the ball behind his back with two hot hands, and then with a super-fast first step, he directly beat Korver.

Korver didn't expect that this guy would suddenly want to go it alone, so he tried hard to interfere.

But Deron was frightened.

The person standing inside now is Noah.

With Stephenson's finishing ability, he may not even be able to get a foul if he goes in and takes risks.

Deron quickly ran diagonally towards Stephenson, shouting as he ran.

"ball!"

"ball!"

"Give me the ball!"

Deron shouted so loudly.

Stephenson certainly noticed Deron.

But everyone on the Bulls team also noticed Deron.

Everyone saw that Stephenson had a route that could pass the ball to Deron, and they were all ready to destroy the pass.

And Stephenson also raised his hand to pass the ball to Deron.

Delong became anxious again when he saw it.

This ball can't be passed!

Just when everyone thought Stephenson was going to take action.

This guy stared at Deron, but suddenly hit the ball on the floor behind him.

This turnaround and blind pass shocked everyone.

Su Ye, who had moved to the top of the arc, caught the pass and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

"Ness."

"Wonderful pass."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ye jumped up on the spot and shot a clean three-pointer.

The Knicks managed to equalize the score.

At this moment, not only the Bulls players were frightened, but even the Knicks were shocked.

No one expected that this guy Stephenson would play such a naughty game.

Blind field back pass.

If this mistake were made, it is estimated that with Su Ye's huge number of fans, this guy who can explode would not dare to open his phone.

Stephenson, who helped Su Ye score points, was very happy.

"Boss! I'm a good football player."

"He is indeed a bit handsome."

"Hahaha, right? I noticed you moved out of position."

Stephenson, who was praised by Su Ye, scratched his head happily.

"Okay, play well."

Su Ye patted Stephenson on the shoulder with satisfaction.

No one expected that Stephenson would actually become the team's key game-breaker.

Deron responded quickly.

He also saw that the Bulls had no countermeasures for Stephenson, a very nervous guy, and directly adjusted the team's offensive rhythm.

After the Bulls attacked again and were blocked by Su Ye.

At this moment, everyone realized that it would be extremely difficult for the Bulls to score points from the changing Knicks.

Stephenson on the outside can hold Rose back and let Su Ye deal with this guy.

The inside position is 50-50 open on both sides.

As long as Deron chases Korver, the Bulls have no other offensive methods.

It was the turn of the second attack.

Facing the Bulls' half-court man-to-man marking, Deron threw the ball directly to Stephenson.

"You move through half the court and handle it yourself."

As he spoke, Deron began to run wildly with Rose.

Korver, who faced off against Stephenson, was also confused.

This guy's finishing ability is not strong, and his three-point ability is average. Do you want to step up and take the initiative to defend?

After thinking about it, Korver pushed forward.

Unexpectedly, Stephenson repeated his old tricks, passed his opponent, and started to kill towards the basket again.

This time everyone in the Bulls was also very sober.

"Let him go!"

"I come!"

Noah is in the front and can interfere with Stephenson at any time.

There was Noah before him and Korver behind him.

Stephenson started to panic a little, and glanced at Su Ye from time to time.

Everyone in the Bulls immediately judged that this kid's first target must be Su Ye.

Everyone began to defend Su Ye's side heavily.

As a result, Stephenson turned around and threw the ball to Randolph.

Randolph, who was originally going to help Deron pick and roll, was stunned when he received the ball.

The open pick-and-roll turned into a hand-off tactic.

Deron just took advantage of this handover and drifted two points directly.

"groove!"

"short!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame with a little bit of force.

But Stephenson, who was waiting nearby, leaped high and took the key offensive rebound directly from Korver's face, then turned and passed it to Deron.

Deron was happy when he saw the Bulls double-teaming him.

Stephenson was messing around in an unorganized manner on the court, which really made everyone in the Bulls jealous and began to follow the ball.

Deron just passed the ball gently to Randolph.

Randolph quickly hit the ground pass to the side.

Su Ye caught the ball in an open position and scored another three-pointer.

In the CCTV studio, Su Qun and Yang Jian both became excited.

"Hit again!"

"Su Ye scored six points in a row. He has already scored a full 50 points tonight!"

"This is too exaggerated. He was really exaggerated today."

"Stephenson's rebound and assist are so crucial!"

"As expected of the Knicks, they have amazing tricks!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the Bulls immediately called the last timeout.

There was about a minute left until the end of the game.

If this continues, the score will be drawn sooner or later.

After re-adjusting, a group of people returned to the court, ready to try and start chasing points.

Unexpectedly, when they came up, the Bulls had just passed half the court.

They discovered an important problem.

They can't break the Knicks' defense.

Time was compressed to the extreme again, and in the end Rose could only take action hastily.

This is not something Rose is good at. Under huge pressure, Rose has no way to adjust his strength.

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

Randolph picked off the rebound and passed a long pass to Su Ye.

Su Ye, who had already passed half court first, drove straight to the basket at full speed.

With a powerful dunk, everyone in the Bulls felt despair.

"Su Ye scored eight points in a row!!!"

"There are 40 seconds left! With a 5-point difference, can the Bulls still catch up?"

"I'm coming!"

"Ross is firing on all cylinders!"

"It's a pity that you have already used this trick, and Su Ye stopped you!"

"35 seconds!"

"The Bulls must take decisive action, hit this ball, and defend the next ball to have a chance to come back!"

"Ball! Start passing!"

"Korver!"

"Oops, it's off!"

"There are still 30 seconds left, enough for the Knicks to suppress this offensive round."

"They just need to score one more goal or defend one more goal to kill the game."

"Su Ye walked through half the court with the ball, Luo Deng was on guard!"

……

On the court, Su Ye walked through half the court with the ball in a leisurely manner.

There was no trace of panic on his expression.

The look of taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard made people feel that Su Ye was very relaxed at the moment.

Faced with Luo Erdeng taking the initiative to lean forward, Su Ye also took his time and pressed for time.

When it was almost 15 seconds, he suddenly accelerated towards the basket.

Even though Luo Erdeng tried to guard Su Ye many times, he failed to stop him only this time.

But Boozer and Noah were already in position under the basket, ready to block Su Ye's attack at any time.

At this moment, Su Ye looked at Korver who was also trying to steal the ball from the side and raised his eyebrows.

"Aren't you on guard?"

Korver was also slightly startled.

But as an old teammate, he immediately realized his mistake.

As a team leader, the most important thing is to keep a cool head at critical moments.

Su Ye was very calm at the moment.

He flicked the ball outward.

The basketball landed in the corner, on the most inconspicuous guy of the bunch.

Stephenson received the ball, looked at the remaining less than three seconds to take action, raised his hand and took a decisive shot.

The moment the three-pointer passed the basket, the entire United Center seemed to fall into dead silence.

The next second, everyone in the Knicks burst into enthusiastic cheers for Stephenson.

"Boy! Give you a chance! You really hit me!"

"Nice! Rookie!!"

"Rookie! From this moment on, you are no longer a rookie!"

No one expected that at the most critical moment, Su Ye would choose to believe in a rookie.

Gave him a chance to kill the game.

And this rookie also seized this opportunity.

"Celebrate!"

"come!"

Su Ye waved to Stephenson.

A stunned Stephenson came to his senses, smiled brightly, and performed his signature guitar-playing celebration.

At this moment, the entire audience was completely ignited by his goal.

The entire venue was shaken.

The Bulls, who had no chance to pause for a long time, also lost any hope of comeback.

After receiving the pass in the last 8 seconds and moving it to the frontcourt in 4 seconds, Korver made a hasty shot.

The Knicks won this game with an 8-point margin.

NBA cameramen also surrounded Stephenson and asked him to perform his sultry celebration a few more times.

No one expected that this unknown person would actually become the key player in this game.
