Chapter 560: One stomp shatters a Nike sneaker! Market value evaporates by 500 million overnight!
Two days later.
8 p.m.
Madison Square Garden.
With 30 minutes remaining in the Knicks vs. Cavaliers game, both teams are actively warming up to maintain peak performance.
The Cavaliers were relaxed because... as the worst team in the East, they knew they couldn't beat the best team in the East, the Knicks.
Even in a game you're destined to lose, just play your best, and you'll feel less nervous!
The Knicks were all in a very relaxed state. Without the pressure of a winning streak, they were starting from scratch with ease.
The opponent is weak.
Tonight, players like Curry, George, and Tyson felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and composure.
Su Yan was the same.
In fact... in the previous game against the Grizzlies, Su Yan could have forcibly used [Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow].
They forced Curry and George to have explosive performances and won the game.
But it is not necessary.
History has been made; the difference between a 34-game winning streak and a 37-game winning streak is not significant in essence.
It would only be more meaningful if they could achieve a winning streak of 40 or more.
That's far away, it's something that doesn't exist.
So... Su Yan didn't use it, still thinking of using it in the playoffs, on a stage where it would be more needed.
Just like last year's finals used [Closed Candy].
Or in the game before that against the Heat, if it weren't for the Heat's Big Three going cold in the second half...
Su Yan also planned to use the "Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow" technique to let the peak "Cute God" and "General Qiao" clash with the "Heat Big Three".
34-game winning streak.
It's still absolutely necessary to win this battle!
Of course... there are conditions for using [Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow], which can only be used on players who score at least 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in a single game.
Not too difficult.
Su Yan, George, Curry, and even players like McGrady and Iverson in good form all have a chance.
Let's talk about the fans.
"boom!"
The cheers from the fans were deafening; they were more excited than usual.
Fans stared intently at Su Yan... the shoes on his feet were the soon-to-be-released "flashy pink" "second-generation battle shoes".
Eye-catching!
These jerseys are particularly eye-catching on the court, especially when paired with Su Yan's stunning good looks and amazing physique.
This pair of "flashy pink" shoes suddenly exudes a masculine and domineering aura.
It looks so appealing.
With its cool design and high-value appearance, it is also the "second generation signature combat boots" of the super popular "Flame God".
The moment he appeared seemed to foreshadow a huge success.
What looks like an NBA regular season game is actually... a performance showcase of the "Su Yan II" signature basketball shoes.
In the commentary box.
Reggie Miller's gaze was also drawn to Su Yan's striking "flashy pink" boots: "woooow~ Isn't that Su Yan's second-generation boots that are about to be released?"
He looks very handsome.
"That's really cool!"
Barkley smiled and nodded: "Su Yan is wearing his own 'second-generation basketball shoes,' which are from Adidas."
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers...
The team's two main offensive players are Antawn Jamison and Maurice Williams. Antoine wears LeBron James's shoes, while Maurice wears Kevin Durant's shoes.
It all comes from the hook.
This match wasn't just a clash between teams, it was also a battle between Adidas and the Hook!
"Ha ha!"
Reggie Miller smiled and nodded, "No problem, but... the rivalry between the two major sneaker companies has always existed."
So which player is stronger?
Which pair of sneakers is more popular with fans?!
The two commentators were analyzing the situation.
A reporter on the court also specifically asked Jamison and Morris how they felt wearing LeBron and Durant's new shoes.
Both of them gave the same answer, both thinking it was great and that it would help them perform even better.
This makes the competition even more anticipated!
"boom!"
Amidst the continuous cheers from the stadium.
After the warm-up, the starting lineups for both sides began to take the field.
New York Knicks Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Stephen Curry, Shooting Guard: Tony Allen, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.
Cleveland Cavaliers Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Maurice Williams, Shooting Guard: Anthony Parker, Small Forward: Antawn Jamison, Power Forward: JJ Hickson, Center: Samador Samuels.
"Jumpball!"
A contest for the ball between Tyson and Samado.
"Snapped!"
Tyson swatted the basketball away first.
Su Yan took over the ball and advanced, simply controlling it normally past half-court, yet he still managed to give off a light and agile feeling.
It appears to be a boost in lightness from the "second-generation combat boots".
In reality, Su Yan deliberately walked with a light and quick gait.
When Su Yan accelerated and broke through with all his might, he was as fast as the wind, even faster than usual.
It appears to be a speed boost from the "second-generation combat boots".
Actually... tonight is the first time the speed boost from [Swiftness lv2] has been fully unleashed.
Su Yan charged into the basket, leaped up, swung his arm across the rim, and slammed the ball over Samado for a powerful dunk.
It appears to be the "second-generation combat boots" that provide a boost to bounce.
In fact... the small burst of power from the [Steel Bones Lv5] enhancement was fully unleashed for the first time tonight.
At first glance.
Because of the "Su Yan Second Generation Basketball Shoes", Su Yan felt more comfortable playing basketball, and his skills improved accordingly.
This is actually the case.
Besides the striking "flashy pink" color, the "second-generation combat boots" also boast improvements in flexibility, cushioning technology, explosiveness, and jumping ability.
It has all of these features.
For the average basketball enthusiast or an NBA player, the improvement is more than enough.
It's more than enough.
Su Yan simply presented himself in a more exaggerated manner to make this pair of fans even more popular.
It can be considered a marketing tactic.
But it's not about deceiving consumers.
Fans will definitely be satisfied after purchasing it.
As for the crucial quality, Su Yan also repeatedly made sudden stops and accelerated by pushing off the ground, allowing fans to directly experience the quality of the shoes.
The first half has ended.
Su Yan didn't need to deliberately show it off; the fans already knew how good the "second-generation boots" were.
They were already quite eager to buy it.
As the game entered the second half, with the Knicks about to beat the Cavaliers and Su Yan about to clock out after three quarters.
A jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
With 4 minute and 11 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Su Yan sprinted at full speed on the right wing, rushed to the right elbow area, and suddenly stopped, intending to make a mid-range shot with a [Mid-Range LV1] technique.
Coincidentally.
As he took a large step forward with his left foot and stopped abruptly, the left side of the ball of his left foot landed on the left side of the ball of Antoine Jamison's left foot, who was defending him.
Jamison tried to step back to follow, but his left foot was stepped on, causing his shoe to be pulled wildly backward.
Su Yan stopped abruptly, and the shoe he stepped on, which was on Jamison's foot, rubbed violently against the ground in a bent position.
At first glance, no one seemed to care.
But when Jamison lost his balance and fell backward to the ground, Su Yan made a sudden stop and hit him at mid-range.
The stadium erupted in uproar.
Because Su Yan knocked Jamison down?!
No.
Because... after this attack, many fans took a closer look and saw that Jamison's left shoe had a cracked sole!
"what's the situation?!"
Fans whose attention wasn't immediately drawn to the sneakers were puzzled.
The sensible director immediately replayed the previous replay.
In slow motion, everyone's attention was focused on Su Yan and Jamison's feet. A sudden realization dawned on them, leaving them utterly shocked!
