The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

With someone like Stephen Curry, who already had an absolutely insane shot, he was directly heading towards becoming "unstoppable like Curry" even more.

It's now 2013, but don't forget, Stephen Curry's change in shooting form happened a year earlier this time, without enduring various injuries. With Su Wan's influence, having played more finals, his raw strength is definitely stronger than his peers.

However, due to inherent limitations, his breakthrough ability could never quite reach the level where it could complement his shooting.

But now, with the change in the "Vertical Jump" rule, he's skyrocketed!

These insights he understood, though others didn't, especially Stephen Curry. Hearing Su Wan's resolute belief, a warm feeling filled his heart—Su Wan had always trusted him so much...

He was very touched by this.

The next morning, Stephen Curry's performance sparked heated discussion across the league.

However, the direction of the discussion deviated a bit.

Led by Barkley, most media attributed Stephen Curry's suddenly improved ability to finish under the basket to changes in league rules.

Especially Barkley's comment, "Who does the league want to favor?", led them to instinctively believe that officially "backfiring" was at play.

The "New York Times" bluntly claimed: "The officials wanted to create a rival for New York, but they chose the wrong target, opting for someone proven to never beat Su Wan. Additionally..."

"They underestimated the New York Knicks players' ability to adapt to new rules!"

This sentiment was agreed upon by most media, after all, the Knicks had benefitted from all three rule changes.

The first was Su Wan's "SOMA" step, which disbanded the Heat Team directly.

The second, last summer's adjustment to the "Cylinder" interpretation, made the Knicks' perimeter attack especially terrifying, indirectly leading them to find a new "core tactic" beyond the three-point line when Tyson Chandler's inside game declined.

Now, the "Vertical Jump" rule propelled Stephen Curry to become an elite breakthrough player, filling the Knicks' last gap...

All three rule changes were aimed at empowering LeBron, but ultimately reinforced the New York Knicks!

Seeing these media conclusions, Xiao Hua, already frustrated, almost rolled his eyes.

He hadn't realized it before, but now going through these papers summarizing everything...

Darn it, it's actually true!

He had been working so hard, almost building a "Dynasty" for the New York Knicks.

This time especially!

The Knicks had a universally acknowledged weakness.

But with this rule change...

Darn it!

They got themselves a "shooter and breakthrough specialist"!

He really was, frustrated!

ESPN again proposed the "Fate Theory."

In their view, it's understandable for the league to want to prevent Su Wan's dominance, so they employed various tactics.

But the problem is, Su Wan is "destined," and New York Knicks building their "dynasty" is what God expects.

So...

No matter how the officials toss and turn, the Knicks taking "three consecutive championships" is an unchangeable outcome!

Incidentally, Su Wan's title of "Heavenly Destiny Man" is gradually gaining acceptance among many fans.

Even many fans in the United States, after so much fate-based brainwashing, gradually accepted the setting of Su Wan as "Heavenly Chosen One."

This is also why LeBron couldn't beat Su Wan!

How could the "Chosen One" compete with the "Heavenly Destiny Man"?

This notion might seem far-fetched and absurd to you.

But in fact, as a result of free education...

Americans are generally superstitious.

This is evident from the blossoming of various religions across the United States.

It can also be seen from the U.S. elections.

Just look at the epic Republic vs. Democratic battle years later in 2024.

In the end, they each label themselves as the "Savior correcting chaos," while calling the opponent the "demon harming America," and using a series of signs to prove their point.

From small to large.

The media's narrative angle hints at how superstitious the American public is.

New York media quickly echoed ESPN's stance, dubbing Su Wan as "basketball itself!"

This notion was quite exaggerated.

After all, a "God" no matter how mighty, is still a creation.

What they meant was...

Su Wan as "basketball itself" has surpassed Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball"!

What's more exaggerated about the New York media is that they not only articulated this but also pointed it out quite directly, asserting that Su Wan is destined to become an unmatched existence in the realm of basketball.

No way around it...

It's really exaggerated!

Not just his 8 championships in 7 years miracle.

Also what he experienced on the path to championships over the years...

Whenever issues arose, it's as if he had a lucky star, always gaining buffs.

It seemed like something was pushing Su Wan so that there were no arguments over the title of "GOAT" in basketball!

This time, the league rule change allowing Stephen Curry to receive strong "buffs" in the playoffs was just another instance.

Amidst the discussions, the second game between the Bulls and New York Knicks arrived.

Still the Knicks' home game.

The DJ at the venue introduced Su Wan with the New York media's latest nickname as he emerged:

"NOW!"

"Loudest cheers..."

"Let us welcome!"

"New York No. 95!"

"Basketball Itself!"

"Su——Wan!"

The cheers instantly ignited the entire venue.

Su Wan emerged amidst the roaring crowd; compared to three years ago, his presence was even more commanding. Watching his unperturbed entrance, New York fans couldn't help but want to pay homage.

Unknowingly, it's already been three years since Su Wan's arrival.

His arrival has taken the New York Knicks to unprecedented heights.

At this moment, this is truly the "basketball holy land," and when New Yorkers say this term to describe Madison Square Garden, there's no hesitation at all.

All of this was brought to the city by Su Wan.

How could they not be fanatical about Su Wan?

In the frenzied atmosphere, the series' second game officially began.

The Knicks hadn't changed their lineup tonight, and the Bulls hadn't either.

But relatively speaking, the Bulls were at a disadvantage.

After all, the Knicks were the winners of the previous game, having solved all the Bulls' challenges.

The Bulls were different; they hadn't resolved how to stop Stephen Curry in the last game, and this game, they still had to address stopping Stephen Curry.

From the start, it seemed Thibodeau hadn't found a solution, as Stephen Curry hit his first two possessions with breakthrough attacks.

After his second success, Thibodeau called a timeout.

Then the Bulls changed their defensive strategy, no longer focusing on limiting Stephen Curry's three-point shots.

They gave a little space...

But with that, Stephen Curry entered his comfort zone.

His three-point shots were as smooth and carefree as ever.

Various cocky celebration moves pleasantly surprised New Yorkers, those holding drinks downed them in one shot, then let out a satisfied burp.

Ultimately, the game ended.

Stephen Curry scored 27 points and hit six three-pointers.

Derek Rose was visibly dejected; he had tried his best to defend, but unfortunately...

With the "Vertical Jump" rule change, Stephen Curry has become almost an equal match for Derek Rose on offense.

Moreover, he had Su Wan by his side as a decoy.

113 to 95, New York Knicks secured a win again, leaving the Bulls with little chance of claiming victory against the Knicks by just relying on defense.

An assistant coach for the Bulls, suggested:

"Why not try to focus on using our strengths?"
