Chapter 555 Meticulous Preparations! One Night Without Rest!
Chapter 555 Meticulous Preparations! One Night Without Rest!
"The Bulls and Celtics are both very strong teams, but... the Knicks have already beaten them this season, so they can beat them again."
The pedestrians are giving it away for free.
Does that mean... the Knicks are guaranteed a 33-game winning streak, tying the all-time record?!
"Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me!"
"COMEON! It feels amazing to make history ahead of schedule!"
"Hehe~ Don't be too happy yet. Since we've already reached this level, tying the 33-game winning streak is somewhat acceptable."
A perfect 34-game winning streak is needed.
But... the opponent they want to take their 34th consecutive win is the Heat, a villain straight out of a comic book!!!
The two teams have faced each other twice so far this season.
Unfortunately, Su Yan was suspended twice.
Under the [Su Yan Rule], barring injuries or unforeseen circumstances, both teams should play with their full rosters.
That would be a massive, earth-shattering battle.
So far this season, the Knicks have only truly played against the Heat, a top-tier championship team.
This means that... even if the Knicks have a 33-game winning streak, the Heat's Big Three will still have a chance to defeat them.
"That's right.
If you were the Heat's Big Three at the beginning of the season, and you weren't fully integrated, you might not necessarily win against the Knicks.
Now, after more than half a season of integration, the chemistry between the Heat's Big Three is quite good.
They are now virtually invincible.
I think the Heat can beat the Knicks and end their 33-game winning streak, which would be a real shame.
But that scene must be quite interesting.
"Hey buddy upstairs, you're a real pervert!"
"Pshaw~ The Bulls and Celtics will beat the Knicks before that even happens."
No regrets.
Because...they can't achieve a 33-game winning streak!
The event, which sparked heated discussions among fans and was widely publicized by the media and newspapers, made the Knicks' pursuit of a 33-game winning streak a household name.
The entire league knows and is paying attention.
The hype is at an all-time high!
Come to think of it.
Not only is it a record that has been sealed for 40 years, but it is also a winning streak record that is incredibly difficult to achieve.
There were so many fans, both those who wanted to witness it and those who didn't, that the level of excitement was naturally at an all-time high!
One day later.
The Knicks will play the Bulls first.
With Rose at the core and a strong supporting cast of tall players who excel on both offense and defense, the Bulls were truly formidable.
But... the Knicks' desire to break the record was too strong.
Their 30-game winning streak gives them an incredibly strong presence.
Even if the opponent is the Bulls, they are not afraid at all and have shown amazing dominance from the very beginning.
Su Yan saw that his team members were so motivated and had such a strong desire to break records.
He became serious.
He targeted Rose, channeling all his defensive abilities—above the Defensive Player of the Year—into Rose.
It is worth mentioning that.
Su Yan's defensive ability has improved even more since the beginning of the season.
Because... with the enhancement of [Iron Bones lv5], his bench press strength increased by another 10 kilograms, reaching 240 kilograms.
This is a power that even "Iron Elbow" Malone can only dream of.
With the [Swiftness lv2] enhancement, speed is further increased.
When he targets Rose, if he doesn't use a screen and it's a pure one-on-one attack, even if Rose changes direction without slowing down, it's still useless.
One-on-one.
Su Yan can lock down Rose.
It's not that he can't score a single point, but if Rose insists on a one-on-one fight, he'll stubbornly confront Su Yan like a hothead.
The Bulls are doomed to lose.
He could only hide and had to bypass Su Yan to attack.
But once the situation turns out this way, the Knicks, who were already on a 30-game winning streak, will be even more aggressive and relentless in their pursuit of victory.
Win by 5 points in the first quarter.
They won by 7 points at halftime.
A three-quarter run extended the lead to 14 points.
In the final quarter, the Knicks maintained a lead of nearly 15 points, putting immense pressure on the Bulls.
No accidents.
The Knicks crushed the Bulls, securing their 31st consecutive win.
2 days later.
The Knicks face the Celtics on the road, the final obstacle on their path to a 33-game winning streak.
This is also the last hope for fans who don't want the Knicks to lose their 33-game winning streak.
Can it work?!
Of course there is hope.
Pau Gasol's arrival.
The new Celtics' "Big Five" lineup consists of Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Gasol, and Garnett.
No matter how many times they play the Knicks, they will always have a chance to win.
This is inevitable.
However... it will be just as difficult for them to truly win the game.
The Knicks' 31-game winning streak isn't just due to Su Yan's strength; the entire team is bursting with confidence... and their performance is frighteningly good!
The match was evenly matched at the start.
It lasted for a full three quarters.
The Knicks maintained a lead of around 5 points, but the Celtics always had a chance to catch up.
But in the last quarter, in the last 5 minutes...
When it came to the crucial moments of scoring and the ability to make clutch plays, the weakness of the new Celtics' "Big Five"—each capable of attacking, but none particularly skilled—was laid bare.
On the other hand, the Knicks.
There is only one player, Su Yan, who can make tough saves in crucial moments. There are very few, but that's enough!
A perfect three-pointer, including an ultra-long-range three-pointer that ignores the defense.
[Steel and Iron Body lv5] clears the way, [Lightning Speed lv2] accelerates, [Spring Man lv3] allows for airborne play, [Smooth and Silky lv2] pulls the lever.
Su Yan broke through the defense, surrounded by Gasol, Garnett and Pierce, and made a triple layup... another unsportsmanlike attack.
One shot, one drive.
I scored 5 points by brute force.
For the Celtics, Pierce's fadeaway jumper missed, and Ray Allen's corner three-pointer also went wide under George's interference.
It appears that Su Yan landed a 2-attack.
In fact... the Celtics were pushed to the brink of elimination in an instant, with the score difference widening to 10 points.
"woooow~"
Mike Breen exclaimed, "The Celtics played almost the entire game well, but suddenly collapsed in the final moments."
"It's inevitable."
Jon Barry shrugged, looking nonchalant: "The Knicks won the same way last time we played each other."
In short.
The new Celtics' Big Five need to avoid dragging the game into the final moments and rely on clutch performances to beat the Knicks!
That's right.
Joan Barry's analysis is spot on.
However... even so, it's not something the Celtics can just talk about blowing up the Knicks early.
The Knicks won, and won again.
They achieved a remarkable 32-game winning streak.
The fans cheered, and their anticipation was even greater, especially the expectation of a 33-game winning streak!
Two days later.
The Knicks easily defeated the Trail Blazers at home, extending their winning streak to 33 games!
This was a match with no suspense whatsoever.
But this was something to celebrate; the cheers at Madison Square Garden were deafening!
but.
Now that we've reached this terrifying height...
The fans were excited, as if they were witnessing a brand new miracle!
Defeated the Heat, securing a 34-game winning streak, surpassing the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, and becoming the sole holder of the longest winning streak in history!
The entire league is looking forward to it.
Both the Heat and the Knicks are taking this very seriously and are determined to be in top form for the big game.
The Knicks want to make history.
The Heat don't want to become a part of history.
An epic battle seems inevitable.
The game is in two days, and Su Yan plans to prepare carefully to challenge the "Heat Big Three" in his best condition!
How should I prepare?!
Su Yan decided to recharge himself...to be fully charged!!!
