Chapter 502 Individual vs. Team! A Clash of Extremes!

8 p.m.

Madison Square Garden.

There's one hour left until the Knicks vs. Spurs game.

But the stadium was already packed.

In the three rows of seats, the Heat's Big Three—LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh—came to watch the game.

"After acquiring Lamar Odom, the Spurs' overall strength has increased significantly during the offseason."

They played an even more extreme form of team basketball.

This year is another strange odd-numbered year for the Spurs; they are truly remarkable.

Their record of being second in the West, only behind the Lakers, speaks for itself.

The Knicks are the defending champions, and their strength goes without saying.

Tonight...we'll watch both teams play, get a good understanding of their strengths, and estimate our chances of winning when we face them.

LeBron spoke earnestly.

As the season progressed, we witnessed strong teams like the Knicks, Lakers, and Spurs repeatedly delivering dominant performances.

He also knew that the Heat's Big Three, who hadn't fully gelled in their first year, weren't guaranteed a championship.

Therefore... to win every battle, one must know oneself and one's enemy.

Wade shrugged. "They are indeed quite strong, but... there's no way they can beat us."

Especially as we get better and better at cohesion, we are able to play with even greater dominance in the playoffs.

No one can rival us.

"Yes."

Bosh nodded emphatically, "The playoffs are the real stage for us superstars!!!"

Both Wade and Bosh are extremely confident.

"of course."

LeBron grunted, his face full of confidence, but... he wouldn't underestimate his opponent.

In the commentary box.

"COMEON!"

Reggie Miller roared to get the fans excited, shouting, "Knicks vs. Spurs!"

It's no exaggeration to say that this is another battle that's like a preview of the finals.

The strength of the Knicks, who have home-court advantage, is self-evident.

The Spurs have always championed team basketball centered around the "GDP" trio, and now with the addition of "left-handed magician" Lamar Odom, their overall rotation has become even smoother.

Those passing sequences were truly a pleasure to watch.

If you're not careful, you won't know where the basketball went, or when it fell into the net!

Our opponents are really having a headache!

When these two teams play together, it's bound to be a clash of titans!

"Yes Yes."

Barkley nodded in agreement, "The Spurs' ultimate team basketball is indeed very powerful."

So... I think if the Knicks want to win tonight, Su Yan's performance will be crucial.

The team needs him to turn the tide and lead them to victory.

"Haha~"

Reggie Miller smiled and nodded, "No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as Su Yan is on the court, there will be no fear, and the fans will always feel hopeful!"

Not much to say.

Let's wait patiently for the super-exciting main event to begin!!!

The two commentators kept hyping up the match before it started.

With each roar from them, the atmosphere in the stadium rose higher and higher, becoming incredibly lively and exciting!

On the field.

During his warm-up, Su Yan realized that he had been too happy last night and had forgotten that after leveling up to lv9, he still had a [lv9 privilege pack] that he hadn't opened.

This mainly contains skills to improve ball skills.

We can't keep this; we can't miss it.

Without wasting a moment, Su Yan immediately silently ordered in his mind: "System, open the [Level 9 Privilege Pack]".

【Host, do you confirm opening the [Level 9 Privilege Pack]?!】

"confirm."

[Host, open the [Level 9 Privilege Pack]. Reward: [Mid-Basket Level 1] (Upgrade Cost: 5000 million).]

"A mid-range shot? A mid-range skill?"

This was Su Yan's first reaction, and he asked at the same time, "System, please explain [Half-basket lv1]."

[Back to host, [Half-basket lv1], the host's personal mid-range ability has been greatly improved.]

Furthermore, the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage.

As the level increases, the accuracy range continues to extend outwards, eventually coinciding with the three-point line.

P.S.: Mid-range shots and three-pointers are not the same thing, and mid-range shots and mid-range shots are not the same concept either!!!

Su Yan understood immediately, and was secretly delighted. He also agreed with the system's point of view.

Mid-range shots and three-pointers are not the same thing.

Some shooters are accurate from three-point range but inconsistent from mid-range, while others have a rock-solid mid-range shot but can't shoot three-pointers at all.

Some players only have a high enough shooting percentage when they are in a fixed position.

Some players are accurate with both three-pointers and mid-range shots, and even have no blind spots in the half-court, but they have no ability to break through.

of course.

There are players who only know how to drive and attack the basket. They get the ball outside the three-point line, even when there are no people several meters in front of them, but they don't dare to shoot.

This is normal and common in the NBA.

This shows that... every skill in the NBA requires countless hours of practice to master.

For Su Yan.

His three-point shooting is at its maximum level; he basically makes every shot given the opportunity, and his accuracy remains good even from a greater distance.

however……

His mid-range shooting ability is relatively average, and he only shoots when absolutely necessary.

This is because his three-point shot has been enhanced with the "Max Level Three-Pointer" skill, while his mid-range shot has not been improved. It is purely based on his personal skill level from his previous life, plus his daily training over the past year.

There has been an improvement.

But in the NBA, against a player of his caliber, it's definitely not enough!

Fortunately... now that he has the [Mid-Range Lv1] skill, which enhances his mid-range game, he has another offensive option.

Their skills have definitely improved even further.

"Not even a needle prick~"

Su Yan was very satisfied. Seeing that there were still 20 minutes before the start of the game, he didn't waste a moment and first experienced the level of his [Mid-Range Lv1] mid-range shot during training.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Su Yan hit consecutive shots from mid-range near the basket, as easily as hitting a three-pointer.

How much improvement is needed for mid-range shots?

Su Yan wasn't quite sure yet, but he was certain that it was much more accurate than before.

Even at level 1, it can be used in actual combat.

Not a moment.

"boom!"

Amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere in the stadium, the warm-up ended, and the starting lineups from both sides began to take to the court.

Su Yan walked to the center of the arena, glanced around the front row of spectators, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Hmm? Didn't Alba say he was coming to watch the game tonight?"

Where is everyone?

New York Knicks Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Stephen Curry, Shooting Guard: Tony Allen, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.

San Antonio Spurs Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Tony Parker, Shooting Guard: Manu Ginobili, Small Forward: Lamar Odom, Power Forward: DeJuan Blair, Center: Tim Duncan.

Blair and Duncan are both power forwards/centers.

Odom plays both the 3 and 4 positions.

Parker and Ginobili will play both the 1 and 2 positions.

With all the starting players switching, it's clear that this team possesses formidable fighting power as a whole!

"Jumpball!"

A contest for the ball between Tyson and Duncan!
